Advanced uplink carriers consist of the following:
-
Adv W-CDMA/HSPA+ UL Rel 10
-
Adv W-CDMA/HSPA+ UL Rel 11 (MEU Option U03 or greater only)
This topic describes the parameters available in the advanced uplink
channel setup node.
Channel Configuration Summary Table
This table enables you to view the key parameters for each channel in a carrier. Unlike the channel configuration summary table for the basic uplink carrier selections, the advanced carrier does not allow channel additions or deletions. All of the advanced channel configurations (RMC, FRC, CELL_FACH) are created in accordance with the 3GPP standards.
This button opens a window of predefined channel configuration selections
according to the selected carrier type:
Adv W-CDMA/HSPA+
UL Rel 11 (MEU Option U03 or greater only)
Double-clicking a configuration replaces the current configuration in the setup table. Select the carrier type from the Waveform or Carrier views.
3GPP
This table enables you to configure 3GPP channel parameters. The figure above shows the parameters for the DPCCH channel. These parameters will vary according to the channel type. For example, E-DPCCH, HS-DPCCH, DPDCH, and E-DPDCH all have different parameter sets than what is shown in the figure above. Toggle a channel type below to see a list of its associated parameters. Then click a channel parameter to jump to a description.
This cell displays the selected channel type.
State
This cell only provides information (grayed out) on the selected channel. For the E-DPDCH, the software uses the Channel Number, TTI, E-TFCI Table Selection, E-TFC Index, E-DPDCH Maximum Channelization Codes, Modulation Capacity and PLnon-max to determine the State.
State (Alternate)
On the E-DPDCH, this cell only provides information (grayed out) to use when ALT (Alternate parameter settings) is selected in the TTI Pattern Data Type Entry window. For the E-DPDCH, the software uses the Channel Number, TTI, E-TFCI Table Selection (Alternate), E-TFC Index (Alternate), E-DPDCH Maximum Channelization Codes, Modulation Capacity and PLnon-max to determine the State (Alternate).
Channel Number

Power
Range: −60 to 0 dB
Enter the channel power level relative to the carrier power.
On E-DPDCH, the software ensures that the power values among the channels are maintained in accordance with the 3GPP standards. For example using the FRC 3 channel configuration, the standard states that a power difference of -3.01 dB be maintained between the E-DPDCH with SF2 and the E-DPDCH otherwise. With the E-DPDCH with SF2 set to 0 dB, the power level of the E-DPCCH otherwise is -3.01 dB. With the E-DPDCH otherwise set to -60 dB, the DPDCH minimum power is -56.99 dB. This means, even though the minimum power range value is -60 dB, the E-DPDCH with SF2 cannot go lower than -56.99 dB.
Power (Alternate)
Range: −60 to 0 dB
On the E-DPDCH, enter the channel power level relative to the carrier power to use when (Alternate parameter settings) is selected in the TTI Pattern Data Type Entry window for a user-defined pattern. This cell is grayed out if the data entry type is MAIN ALL (no alternate parameter settings).
When the waveform encounters a slot set to during waveform playback, it ignores the Power value as the channel power and instead uses the value for the channel power. Conversely when a slot is configured as or (all slots set to MAIN), the waveform uses the value.
On E-DPDCH, the software ensures that the power values among the channels are maintained in accordance with the 3GPP standards. For example using the FRC 3 channel configuration, the standard states that a power difference of -3.01 dB be maintained between the E-DPDCH with SF2 and the E-DPDCH otherwise. With the E-DPDCH with SF2 set to 0 dB, the power level of the E-DPCCH otherwise is -3.01 dB. With the E-DPDCH otherwise set to -60 dB, the DPDCH minimum power is -56.99 dB. This means, even though the minimum power range value is -60 dB, the E-DPDCH with SF2 cannot go lower than -56.99 dB.
Slot Format
Range: 0 to 4
Default: 0
This cell applies to the DPCCH. To enter a value, highlight the existing value and enter the new slot number. The slot format determines the number of transmitted TFCI bits in addition to other control bits.

For the E-DPDCH, the software uses the Channel Number, TTI, E-TFCI Table Selection, E-TFC Index, E-DPDCH Maximum Channelization Codes , Modulation Capacity and PLnon-max to determine the Symbol Rate.
For the HS-DPCCH, the Rate value can be 15 ksps or 30 ksps, which is determined by Secondary Cell Enabled and MIMO settings. For more information, refer to TS 25.212 Table 15C.4.
-
When Secondary Cell Enabled is 0 or 1, HS-DPCCH Slot Format is 0 and Rate is 15 ksps.
-
When Secondary Cell Enabled is 3, HS-DPCCH Slot Format is 1 and Rate is 30 ksps.
-
When Secondary Cell Enabled is 2 and no cell is configured as MIMO, HS-DPCCH Slot Format is 0 and Rate is 15 ksps.
-
When Secondary Cell Enabled is 2 and at least one cell is configured as MIMO, HS-DPCCH Slot Format is 1 and Rate is 15 ksps.
Rate (Alternate)
On the E-DPDCH, this cell only provides information (grayed out) on the symbol rate for the alternate setting to use when ALT (Alternate parameter settings) is selected in the TTI Pattern Data Type Entry window. The software uses the Channel Number, TTI, E-TFCI Table Selection (Alternate), E-TFC Index (Alternate), E-DPDCH Maximum Channelization Codes, Modulation Capacity and PLnon-max to determine the Symbol Rate (Alternate).
Spreading Code
This cell only provides information (grayed out) on the spreading code for the selected channel.
For the E-DPDCH, the software uses the Channel Number, TTI, E-TFCI Table Selection, E-TFC Index, E-DPDCH Maximum Channelization Codes, Modulation Capacity and PLnon-max to determine the Spreading Code.
For the HS-DPCCH, the Spreading Code is defined by Rate and Nmax-dpdch (which is the number of DPDCH) as the following table. See 4.3.1.2.2 in TS 25.213 for more details.
| Nmax-dpdch | Slot Format = 0 | Slot Format = 1 |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 33 | 16 |

The information in this cell is only relevant when the E-DCH is the data selection for the Data cell.
TTI Pattern
Choices: Main All | User
This cell sets the TTI pattern for the E-DPCCH and
E-DPDCH. When you click the cell, a dialog box button (
) appears and provides access to the TTI
Pattern Selection dialog box where you can select or create TTI data
patterns. Selecting User activates the data editor enabling you to enter
the state and power, and designate main or alternate of any slot up to
15,330 slots. Select all main parameters (Main All) or use a user-defined
file to assign either the main or alternate parameter settings for E-TFCI
table selection, E-TFC index, and Power.
The Number of Frames cell in the advanced carrier view determines the length of the waveform. If the configured pattern length exceeds the waveform length, the software ignores the excess pattern slots.
DCH1 TTI / DCH2 TTI
Choices: 10 ms | 20 ms | 40 ms | 80 ms
On the DPDCH, double click or use the pull-down menu to set the DCH TTI. The information in these cells is only relevant when the DCH is the data selection for the Data cell.
DCH TTI is the transmit time interval for the data, which is the product of block size (determined by the software) and number of blocks. The TTI determines over how many consecutive frames the transport layer data is distributed. For example, since each frame is 10 milliseconds, a TTI of 40 milliseconds distributes the data over four frames.
DCH1 Rate Matching Attribute / DCH2 Rate Matching Attribute
Range: 1 to 256
Default: 256
On the DPDCH, enter a DCH rate matching attribute. The information in these cells is only relevant when the DCH is the data selection for the Data cell.

from where you make the selection.
With the dialog box selection of User Defined Bits, the software allows the customized setting of each bit to be HAPPY or Not HAPPY for up to 65,536 E-DPCCH subframes or frames. The Happy bit notifies the basestation as to whether the UE is satisfied (happy) with the current Serving Grant based on available data rate, power, and capacity.
TFCI
Range: 0 to 1023
Default: 0
On the DPCCH, enter a TFCI code. The number of TFCI bits transmitted is dependent on the slot format. The TFCI bits inform the basestation of the UE's transport channel formatting.
TPC Pattern
Choices: Up/Down | Down/Up | All Up | All Down | User Defined Bits
Default: Up/Down
This cell sets the TPC (transmit power control) pattern.
This pattern instructs the base station to increase or decrease its power
in 1 dB increments. When you click the cell, a dialog box button (
) appears and provides access to the TPC Entry window
where you can select from the choices
TPC Number of Steps
Range: 1 to 80
Default: 1
This cell sets the number of up and down power steps for the selections Up/Down and Down/Up. For example with this cell set to 20 and the TPC Pattern set to Up/Down, the signal generator transmits a power pattern that tells the basestation to step-up the power up in 1 dB increments for 20-steps and then down for 20-steps. The signal repeats this pattern until the parameter changes or the signal terminates.

bits. If the software sees more bits than what it can use, it truncates
the data and discards the unused bits
The FBI bits are used to implement closed loop format diversity by controlling the phase, or phase and amplitude of the second antenna of the base station. The FBI bits are also used for site selection diversity transmit power control during a soft handoff. The slot format determines the number of FBI bits per slot.
Transmission Pattern
Choices: Continuous | User Defined Burst Pattern
Default: Continuous
This cell sets the transmission pattern for the DPCCH.
When you click the cell, a dialog box button ( ) appears and provides access to the Transmission Pattern Selection dialog box where
you can select or create data patterns. Selecting activates the data editor enabling you to
enter the state and the power of any slot up to 15,330 slots.
The Number of Frames cell in the advanced carrier view determines the length of the waveform. If the configured pattern length exceeds the waveform length, the software ignores the excess pattern slots.
For CELL_FACH channel configurations, this parameter is not visible, but is set to continuous by the software.
Data
Choices: PN9 | PN15 | DCH | E-DCH | STD | User Defined Bits
(The shown choices are a composite of the available choices, the actual choices vary by channel type.)
Default: Varies by channel type
When you click the cell, a dialog box button (
) appears and provides access to Data Source Selection dialog box where you select
the data type. For channel configurations with multiple data channels,
if you change the data type on one data channel, the software changes
the other data channels to the same data type.
The E-DPDCH Data have four selections:
-
Continuous PN9 or PN15 sequences: The bit sequence is continuous between TX slots.
-
E-DCH: Coding data.
-
USER: A user-defined data pattern. If the data length is less than the TTI size, the data is repeated. If the data length is greater than the TTI size (depends on channel configuration), the user data is truncated at the data payload size that corresponds to one TTI length.
The diagram below illustrates the data flow for each data type with either 2 or 4 E-DPDCH States set to .
DCH1/DCH2
Choices: PN9 | PN15 | User Defined Bits
