Configures the network resource identifier (NRI) length in bits to identify a specific MSC serving in a pooled area. At least one NRI value has to be assigned to an MSC serving in a pool. The NRI is coded inside of the temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI), located within bits 14 to 23 with an variable length between 0 and 10 bits. Operator needs to set this NRI length to indicates the number of bits that shall be used for the NRI field to set the parameters for Iu-Flex (MSC pooling) functionality.

nri length nri_value

Default: 0

Specifies the number of bits to be used in the P-TMSI (bits 23 to 18) to define the network resource identifier (NRI). The NRI length configuration also sets the maximum size of the pool. If not configured, the NRI length is of zero length.

length is an integer from 1 to 10 that identifies the number of bits. When a non-zero value is configured the CS network is considered to be a pool.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to enable the Iu-Flex functionality on HNB-GW. This command identifies a unique MSC serving a pooled area for Iu-Flex functionality and at least one NRI value has to assigned to an MSC serving in a pool. It performs MSC pooling/offloading scenario over Iu-Flex interface. The NRI is stored in the bits 14 to 23 of TMSI. The HNB-GW uses a portion of this NRI to set the parameters for Iu-Flex (MSC pooling) functionality.

If more than one NRI is configured, the HNB-GW service does round-robin between the available NRIs when new subscriber(s) (re)connect.

This command must be used in conjunction with null nri command to configured MSC pooling/offloading over Iu-Flex interface.

Configures the null NRI for load redistribution in support of Iu-Flex functionality. The NRI value defined with this command must be unique across the pool areas. This null-NRI is used by HNB-GW for load redistribution during MSC offloading.
