TPC PATTERN/DLIST
READ OUT MODE
TPC bits are used for W-CDMA to inform the called station if the transmit
power is being increased or decreased. The parameter TPC Pattern Read Out
Mode is used to define how this bit pattern is to be used. The following modes
are distinguished:
•
Continuous: A bit is taken for each slot from the up to 24-bit long bit pattern
for the Transmitter Power Control field of the slots and entered in the bit
stream several times (depending on the symbol rate). The specified bit
pattern is used cyclically.
•
All 0: A bit is taken for each slot from the up to 24-bit long bit
pattern for the Transmitter Power Control field of the slots and entered the
bit stream several times (depending on the symbol rate). The specified bit
pattern is used once, then the TPC sequence is continued with 0 bits.
•
All 1: A bit is taken for each slot from the max. 24-bit long bit
pattern for the Transmitter Power Control field of the slots and entered in
the bit stream several times (depending on the symbol rate. The specified
bit pattern is used once, then the TPC sequence is continued with 1 bits.
•
alt. 01: A bit is taken for each slot from the up to 24-bit long bit
pattern for the Transmitter Power Control field of the slots and entered the
bit stream several times (depending on the symbol rate. The specified bit
pattern is used once, then the TPC sequence is continued with 0 and 1 bits
alternately (multiplied depending on the symbol rate, e.g. 00001111).
•
alt. 10: A bit is taken for each slot from the up to 24-bit long bit
pattern for the Transmitter Power Control field of the slots and entered in
the bit stream several times (depending on the symbol rate. The specified
bit pattern is used once, then the TPC sequence is continued with 1 and 0
bits alternately (multiplied depending on the symbol rate, e.g. 11110000).
The different modes can be used for example to set a BS to a specific output
power (e.g. with pattern 11111) and then let it oscillate about this power
(using alt. 01 or alt. 10). Thus power measurements on a
channel of the BS can be performed (with a quasi-constant power). In
conjunction with the option (Mis-)Use TPC for output power control (see
below) the TPC Read Out Mode can also be used for generation of various
output power profiles.
If option SMIQB48 is installed and if a data list is used as TPC data source,
the READ OUT MODE is also valid.
