Properties of Information Elements: The Asterisk Column In the column marked *, a set of codes is used to state conditions under which an information element is valid: a non-trivial condition must be fulfilled for the element to be valid not valid: the element is normally valid, but in certain circumstances it is not (code ends in ) extended compared to the simplest GSM case: the element sometimes carries more information, for example when frequency hopping is used (code ends in +)
If nothing is written in the asterisk column, the element is always valid and is reported by all supported phones. Code c g g+ Valid if a cell file is loaded. Valid when running GPRS. Not valid for voice. The element is richer for (E)GPRS, in one of the following ways: g h+ more values, i.e. more arguments e.g. C/I values have a more complex meaning e.g. C/I Hopping List (average over timeslots) larger range of possible values e.g. Channel Type. Meaning
Not valid when running (E)GPRS. The element is richer if frequency hopping is used. If frequency hopping is used, the element covers all channels in the hopping list. No GPRS connection: One value for each channel (arguments 0 through 63) GPRS: One value for each timeslot used on each channel (arguments 0 through 64 8 1 = 511). Exception: C/I Hopping List has only one value for each channel (arguments 0 through 63).
If frequency hopping is not used, the element contains values for the single channel employed. No GPRS connection: One single value (argument 0). GPRS: One value for each timeslot used on the channel (arguments 0 through 7).
Example: C/I. hc+ If frequency hopping is used, the element covers all channels in the hopping list. One value for each channel (arguments 0 through 63). No separate values for each timeslot for a GPRS connection. Example: C/I Hopping List. hs hs+ Valid when running HSCSD. Not valid for voice. The element is richer for HSCSD, in one of the following ways: hs more values, i.e. more arguments e.g. C/I values have a more complex meaning e.g. C/I Hopping List (average over timeslots) larger range of possible values e.g. Channel Type.
Not valid when running HSCSD.
Full and Sub Values Information elements with Full in their names are calculated on all blocks. Information elements with Sub in their names are calculated only on the blocks known to be sent also when downlink DTX is active (in each 104-multiframe, one TCH block with SID information and one SACCH block).

Signal Strength on BCCH Carrier

Signal strength on the current BCCH. Especially useful for obtaining a correct measure of the cell size when frequency hopping is used and power control is applied to the TCHs. The following steps are used to find a value for the element: 1. Neighbor list. If the BCCH frequency is in the neighbor list, report its signal strength. 2. Hopping list. If the BCCH is used as hopping frequency (in dedicated mode), report its signal strength. 3. Idle mode. If the phone is in idle mode, report RxLev (dBm). If frequency hopping is not used, step 2 becomes If BCCH = TCH .... Invalid if no value is found in any of the above steps.
