influence
The greater the value of the parameter is, the longer TBF relative resource (including TFI and timeslot) will be reserved. Similarly, TBF sending time will be longer which will easily lead to congestion. The smaller the value of the parameter is, the longer DL TBF establishment will be. Because MS will release

influence

In non-DRX mode, MS will monitor CCCH blocks, and PCU will contain context concerning MS. Immediate assignment messages about DL TBF establishment can be sent on AGCH in stead of making paging.

Non-DRX mode will help to shorten DL TBF establishment, which will also
quicken the consumption of battery.

BsCvMax Maximum sending block number

description
BsCvMax is a GPRS cell optional parameter used in MS which is broadcast to MS in the messages of PSI1, PSI13 and SI13 indicating the maximum number of blocks allowed to be sent in each timeslot. CV value is average number of pending data block in each timeslot which is sent by MS when the value is less than 15.

Setting:15300ms influence
If BS_CV_MAX is set to be too small, RLC data block may be retransmitted before ack message is received, which will result in the high occupancy rate of radio resource; If BS_CV_MAX is too highly set, the efficiency of the sliding window may

To add PANMAX and PANINC, and reduce PANDEC will reduce the possibilities of cell reselection due to TBF abnormal release when MS cant receiving Packet Uplink Ack; at the same time, MS sending window will pause and occupy radio resources for a long time which is the source of inefficiency of radio utility rate. To reduce PANMAX and PANINC, and add PANDEC will easily lead to cell reselection due to TBF abnormal release, reduce TBF normal release rate and affect data transferring rate.
