<Filter> The requested GSM band's ARFCNs. This is an integer which can be a combination
of all (1-15):
1 - GSM 850
2 - GSM 900
4 - GSM 1800
8 - GSM 1900
The default value is 15.
<ARFCN> Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number
Range: [1-124], [128-251], [512-885], [975-1023].
<BSIC> Base transceiver Station Identity Code
Range: [0 - 63]
<signal
strength>
Range: -110 - (-48) dBm.
For serving cell signal strength is defined as:
• In dedicated mode - TCH Rx level
• In idle mode average BCCH Rx level
For adjacent cells, signal strength is defined as the average Rx level in the both
modes.
<enable TA> This parameter defines whether <TA> will be reported by +MCI command.
Defined values:
0 - Do not report <TA> value.
1 - Report <TA> value.
