Table 11.2.9.2: PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT information element details

TLLI / G-RNTI (32 bit field)
This field contains the TLLI / G-RNTI of the mobile station. This field is encoded as defined in sub-clause 12.16.

PSI5_CHANGE_MARK (2 bit field)
This field shall contain the value of the PSI5_CHANGE_MARK in the PSI5 message containing the list of frequencies to measure. If the measurement order has been initiated by a PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER message, the PSI5_CHANGE_MARK parameter shall be omitted from the message.

BA_USED (1 bit field)
3G_BA_USED (1 bit field)
PSI3_CHANGE_MARK
(2 bit field)

In case of NC measurement report, these fields shall be included and contain the value of the BA_IND, 3G_BA_IND and PSI3_CHANGE_MARK respectively in the messages defining the used Neighbour Cell list and E-UTRAN Neighbour Cell list.

In case PBCCH exists, PSI3_CHANGE_MARK shall be used.
In case PBCCH does not exist, BA_USED and 3G_BA_USED shall be used.

PMO_USED (1 bit field)
This parameter shall contain the value of the PMO_IND in the PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER or PACKET MEASUREMENT ORDER messages that has modified the used Neighbour Cell list. If no such message has been received, PMO_USED shall be set to zero.

NC_MODE (1 bit field)
This field indicates if the mobile station was in mode NC1 or NC2 when sending the measurement report.

0 Mobile station in mode NC1
1 Mobile station in mode NC2

RXLEV_SERVING_CELL (6 bit field)
This field contains the value of the RXLEV parameter for the serving cell calculated by the mobile station (see 3GPP TS 45.008). This field is encoded as the binary representation of the RXLEV parameter value defined in 3GPP TS 45.008.
Range 0 to 63

FREQUENCY_N (6 bit field)
This field indicates the frequency/cell upon which the measurement was made. The field is an index into the resulting Frequency/Cell List for NCmeasurements.

NC Measurements

If PBCCH is allocated in the cell, the resulting frequency/cell list for NC Measurements is the GSM Neighbour Cell list defined in sub-clause 5.6.3.2.

If PBCCH is not allocated in the cell, the resulting frequency/cell list for NC Measurements is

– The BA(GPRS) (defined in sub-clause 5.6.3.2) before the MS has acquired the complete GSM Neighbour Cell list from the BCCH messages. In this case, the MS shall not include R99 extension (‘Additions in release 99’) in the PACKET MEASUREMENT REPORT message.

– The GSM Neighbour Cell list (defined in sub-clause 5.6.3.2) after the MS has acquired the complete GSM Neighbour Cell list from the BCCH messages. When the mobile station has acquired the GSM Neighbour Cell list, the mobile station shall include in the measurement reports only cells present in that list.

BSIC_N (6 bit field)
This field indicates the BSIC of the frequency upon which the measurement was made. This field shall be included only for frequencies that refer to the BA(BCCH) list. The field is encoded as the BSIC value defined in 3GPP TS 44.018.
Range 0 to 63

RXLEV_N (6 bit field)
This field indicates the measured RXLEV of the frequency upon which the measurement was made (see 3GPP TS 45.008). This field is encoded as the RXLEV value defined in 3GPP TS 44.018.
Range 0 to 63

3G Measurements
Measurement reporting for 3G Cells is defined in 3GPP TS 45.008.

3G_CELL_LIST_INDEX (7 bit field)
This is the index of the i’th reported 3G neighbour cell in the 3G Neighbour Cell List. See sub-clause 5.6.3.1.

REPORTING_QUANTITY (6 bit field)
This is the reporting quantity for the i’th reported 3G cell. The quantities are defined in 3GPP TS 45.008 for the respective Radio Access Technology.

G-RNTI extension (4 bit field)

This field contains the extra 4 bits of the G-RNTI not included in the TLLI / G-RNTI field which are necessary to provide a unique identifier in Iu mode.

E-UTRAN Measurements
Measurement reporting for E-UTRAN Cells is defined in 3GPP TS 45.008.

E-UTRAN_FREQUENCY_INDEX (3 bit field)
This field contains the index into the frequencies specified as part of the E-UTRAN Neighbour Cell list. This field is described in sub-clause 12.53.

CELL_IDENTITY (9 bit field)
This field contains the physical layer cell identity (as defined in 3GPP TS 36.211) of the cell being reported.

REPORTING_QUANTITY (6 bit field)
This is the reporting quantity for E-UTRAN cell identified by the E-UTRAN frequency and physical layer cell identity. The quantities are defined in 3GPP TS 45.008 for the respective Radio Access Technology.

UTRAN CSG Measurement Report
Measurement reporting for UTRAN CSG cells is defined in 3GPP TS 45.008. This information element contains the measurement results and routing parameters for one UTRAN CSG or hybrid cell. It is defined in sub-clause 12.61.

E-UTRAN CSG Measurement Report
Measurement reporting for EUTRAN CSG cells is defined in 3GPP TS 45.008. This information element contains the measurement results and routing parameters for one E-UTRAN CSG or hybrid cell. It is defined in sub-clause 12.60.

SI23_BA_USED (1 bit field)

In case of NC measurement report, this field contains the value of the SI 23_BA_IND field in the SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 23 message defining the E-UTRAN Neighbour Cell list used. In the case SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE 23 message is not broadcast in the cell or if the mobile station does not support network sharing this field shall be set to 0. Range 0 to 1.
