Configuration Policy |
If the value of this parameter is too small, the BTS frequently reports overload indication messages to the BSC. As a result, the BSC frequently reports overload indication messages to the MSC and thus the MSC may initiate flow control. If the value of this parameter is too great, the BTS sends overload indication messages to the BSC only when a large number of MSs access the network and when the system resources are insufficient. Therefore, the access requests on the RACH and all the messages on the PCH are discarded. |
