Base station identity code
2 digits, e.g. 32
00 Not decoded
ARFCN (Absolute Frequency Channel Number)
0 Not decoded. In this case, all remaining parameters related to the same chan-
nel are neither decoded. For example, a non-existing cell appears as follows:
000,000,0000,0000,00,0,0,-,-
Received signal level of the BCCH carrier (0..63). The indicated value is composed of the measured value in
dBm plus an offset. This is in accordance with a formula specified in 3GPP TS 05.08 
Coefficient for base station reselection, e.g. 30. In dedicated mode, under certain conditions the parameter can-
not be updated. In such cases a '-' is presented.

Note
• To some extent, the cell monitoring commands AT^MONI, AT^MONP and AT^SMONC cover the same param-
eters. The receiving level, for example, can be queried with all three commands. Yet the resulting values may
be slightly different, even though obtained over a time period of a few seconds. This is quite normal and noth-
ing to worry about, as the cell information is permanently updated.
