NCC Permitted


Value range: Check box,  including options 0~7.
Content: Network Color Code, to be sent in system messages 2 and 6. It lists NCC that need be measured by MS. If a neighbor cell with NCC permitted, MS will report M.R. Of the neighbor cell to the network.
Recommendation: Subject to the concrete conditions.
 
In working status, MS needs to measure adjacent cells BCCH signals and report them to network. But each report can only include max. six adjacent cells. Thus it is necessary to make MS only report the potential target cells for handover, instead of reporting all according to the signal level (usually MS does not report the signals of cells from other GSM PLMN). The above function can be implemented by making MS only measure the cells whose NCC are selected. Parameter “NCC Permitted” lists the NCC of the cells that MS needs to measure.
BSIC is transmitted continuously on SCH of each cell and the higher three bits of BSIC are NCC, therefore, MS only needs to compare the measured NCC of the adjacent cell with parameter NCC Permitted. If it is in this set, MS will report it to BTS; otherwise it will discard the measurement result.
Note: Improper setting of this parameter will lead to lots of call drops.
