You can set those parameters at the `pcu` VTY config node as follows:
-`alpha <0-10>`::
- Alpha parameter for MS power control in units of 0.1.
- Make sure to set the alpha value at System Information 13 (in
- the BSC), too!
`gamma <0-62>`::
Set the gamma parameter for MS power control in units of dB.
+Parameter `ALPHA` is set on the BSC VTY configuration file on a per-BTS basis,
+and forwarded by OsmoPCU to the MS through the SI13 received from the former
+over PCUIF. OsmoPCU VTY command `alpha <0-10>` overrides the value received over
+PCUIF to keep backward compatibility with existing config files, but it is
+currently deprecated and its use is discouraged; one should configure it per-BTS
+in OsmoBSC VTY instead.
