> 8.7 | AT^SMONC Cell Monitoring

> The AT^SMONC execute command delivers cell information containing 9 values from a maximum of 7 base stations. The first base station is the serving cell.

> Parameter Description

> <MCC>(num)

> Mobile country code
> 3 digits, e.g. 232
> 000
> Not decoded

> <MNC>(num)

> Mobile network code
> 2 digits or 3 digits, e.g. 07 or 003
> 000
> Not decoded

> <LAC>(num)

> Location area code
> 4 hexadecimal digits, e.g. 4EED
> 0000
> Not decoded

> <cell>(num)

> Cell identifier
> 4 hexadecimal digits, e.g. 4EAF
> 0000
> Not decoded
> FFFF
> Cell ID currently not available, e.g. because the cell ID information is not yet read from the Sysinfo 3 transmitted by the base station.

> <BSIC>(num)

> Base station identity code
> 2 digits, e.g. 32
> 00
> Not decoded

> <chann>(num)

> ARFCN (Absolute Frequency Channel Number)
> 0
> Not decoded. In this case, all remaining parameters related to the same channel are neither decoded. For example, a non-existing cell appears as follows: 000,000,0000,0000,00,0,0,-,-

> <RSSI>(num)

> 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

> <C1>(num)

> Coefficient for base station reselection, e.g. 30. In dedicated mode, under certain conditions the parameter cannot be updated. In such cases a '-' is presented.

> <C2>(num)

> Coefficient for base station reselection, e.g. 30. In dedicated mode, under certain conditions the parameter cannot be updated. In such cases a '-' is presented.

> • | To some extent, the cell monitoring commands AT^MONI, AT^MONP and AT^SMONC cover the same parameters. 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 nothing to worry about, as the cell information is permanently updated.
