Cell Parameters include the most of radio network parameters transmitted via Um interface.

Via receiving cell parameters, MS is able to exactly select, access and coordinate with the network through which different kinds of service is provided.

Via reasonably cell parameters, BTS can run in high point and whole system can be effectively utilized to provide more and better services although basing on limited resources.
Cell Parameters can be sent through two kinds of logical channels
  • BCCH (in idle mode)
  • SACCH (in dedicated mode)
GSM cell parameters:
  • Network Identity Parameters
  • Idle Mode Parameters
  • Call Control Parameters
  • Cell Selection and Reselection Parameters
  • Other Parameters
