In Nokia there are parameters in bts as well as hoc sheet I will share the names later but u can block handovers with hoc parameter by putting ta limits to maximum

U mean tuning the margins and nx/px to max.

Actually, one would bar a cell for a certain reason.
In some cases; we have significant blocking on a cell. One way to reduce blocking is to bar the cell. In this way; it will carry only HO traffic.

On the other hand; sometimes a cell is barred because it has some firmware issue and it is understood every call it entertains will get dropped. In such scenario; we must bar the cell and also inhibit TCH assignment from Msc.

The MS will continue to listen the paging. But it can’t respond to paging.
If I recall it right; if MS fails twice to respond to paging; it will trigger cell reelection.

Please correct me if I am wrong. My 2G has become rusty :mask:

Hi All.

In barred cell there is no camp on.

But can incoming calls happen?

And incoming handover to that barred cell?

15

Yes, you can see conversation here Is it possible to perform handover to a barred cell?

16

And what about cell reserved status?

17

This is for operators only.

Only sim cards with special access class like 15 can access it.
