RANGEi_LOWER

If $(impr-BA-range-handling)$ is not supported:

The RANGEi_LOWER is coded as the binary representation of the ARFCN used as the lower limit of a range of frequencies to be used by the mobile station in cell selection (see 3GPP TS 05.08 and 3GPP TS 03.22)

$end

If $(impr-BA-range-handling)$ is supported:

$begin

The RANGEi_LOWER is coded as the binary representation of the ARFCN used as the lower limit of a range of frequencies which could be used by the mobile station in cell selection (see 3GPP TS 05.08 and 3GPP TS 03.22)

The RANGEi HIGHER is coded as the binary representation of the ARFCN used as the higher limit of a range of frequencies which could be used by the mobile station in cell selection (see 3GPP TS 05.08 and 3GPP TS 03.22)

$end

If the length of the BA range information element is greater than the number of octets required to carry the Number of Ranges given in octet 3, then any unused octets or parts of octets at the end of the IE shall be considered as spare.

If $(impr-BA-range-handling)$ is supported:

If a mobile station receives range information which has ranges or part of the ranges which are not supported by the mobile station, the mobile station shall take into account those parts of the ranges which it does support.

T3212 timeout value (octet 4)

The T3212 timeout value field is coded as the binary representation of the timeout value for periodic updating in decihours.

Range: 1 to 255

The value 0 is used for infinite timeout value i.e. periodic updating shall not be used within the cell.

GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH (5 bits field)

The GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH field is coded as the binary representation of the "power control level" in 3GPP TS 05.05 corresponding to the maximum TX power level the MS shall use for packet resources while in dual transfer mode. This value shall be used by the Mobile Station according to 3GPP TS 05.08.

Range: 0 to 31.

Cell identity (16 bits field)

The purpose of the Cell Identity is to identify a cell within a routing area area. The Cell Identity is coded as the value part of the Cell Identity IE defined in 3GPP TS 24.008.

Increment skip ARFCN n (octet 3 to 10)

The increment skip ARFCN n is coded as the binary representation of the increment of the preceding absolute RF channel number appearing in the sequence of channels used in the frequency hopping:

n = 1,…,16.

Range: 0 to 15

The value 0 indicates that the increment value is 15 but the concerned channel is not used and the next field, i.e. Increment skip ARFCN n+1 (if present) must be added to the increment to determine the next absolute RF channel number in the sequence of channels used in the frequency hopping.

Report on GSM cells:

BCCH-FREQ-NCELL i, BCCH carrier of the i’th neighbour cell (octet 6, 8,10, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17).

The BCCH-FREQ-NCELL i field is coded as the binary representation of the position, starting with 0, of the i’th neighbour cells BCCH carrier in the BCCH channel list. The BCCH channel list is composed of one or two BCCH channel sub lists, each sub list is derived from the set of frequencies defined by reference neighbour cell description information element or elements. In the latter case the set is the union of the two sets defined by the two neighbour cell description information elements.

In each BCCH channel sub list the absolute RF channel numbers are placed in increasing order of ARFCN, except that ARFCN 0, if included in the set, is put in the last position in the sub list. The BCCH channel list consists either of only the sub list derived from the neighbour cell description information element(s) in System Information 2/5 (and possible 2bis/5bis) or of that sub list immediately followed by the sub list derived from the neighbour cell description information element in System Information 2ter/5ter for the case System Information 2ter/5ter is also received. If the set of ARFCNs defined by the reference neighbour cell description information element or elements includes frequencies that the mobile station does not support then these ARFCNs shall be included in the list.

The notation 2/5 etc. means that the rules above apply to the neighbour cell description information elements received in System Information 2, 2bis and 2ter and to those received in System Information 5, 5bis and 5ter separately.

See note 1 & 2.

Range: 0 to 31/30.

Report on 3G cells:

If no more than 31 (GSM) ARFCN frequencies are included in the BA (list), the index BCCH-FREQ-NCELL 31 indicates report(s) on 3G cells.

In this case, the corresponding ‘BSIC-NCELL’ field in Figure 10.5.2.20.1 carries the index of the i’th 3G neighbour cell in the 3G Neighbour Cell list defined in sub-clause 3.4.1.2.1.1, "Deriving the 3G Neighbour Cell list from the 3G Neighbour Cell Description".

Range: 0 to 63.

BSIC-NCELL i, Base station identity code of the i’th neighbour cell (octet 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15 and 17)

For GSM cells, the BSIC-NCELL i field is coded as the binary representation of the base station identity code of the i’th neighbour cell. See note 1 & 2.

Range: 0 to 63.

NOTE 1: If the field extends over two octets the highest numbered bit of the lowest numbered octet is the most significant and the lowest numbered bit of the highest numbered octet is the least significant.

NOTE 2: If NO-NCELL-M < 6 the remaining RXLEV-NCELL i, BS-FREQ-NCELL i and BSIC-NCELL i fields (NO-NCELL-M < i  6) shall be coded with a "0" in each bit.

However the network shall ensure, that in the case of a missing ALLOCATION_BITMAP_LENGTH, the length of the ALLOCATION_BITMAP shall not exceed the maximum length of 256 bits. If the network includes more bits than this maximum length the network has to take into account that there may be two kinds of mobiles: mobiles which are capable of handling the large allocation bitmap, and mobiles which would only use the 256 highest numbered ALLOCATION_BITMAP bit number indexes (as the BLOCKS_OR_BLOCK_PERIOD field is missing) and would ignore the bits with lower indices (i.e. the MS would react after 256 blocks as if the allocation had exhausted (3GPP TS 04.60)).
