Compressed Mode - General Settings

Use of a compressed mode (Slotted Mode) is necessary when making measurements on another frequency (inter-frequency) or on a different radio technology (inter-RAT). In the Compressed Mode, while the transmission and reception are stopped for a short time, the measurements are performed on another frequency or Radio Access Technology (RAT) during the transmission and reception stop time. After the stop time is over, the transmission and reception resumes. To ensure that the data is not lost, the data is compressed in the frame, creating empty space where the measurements can be performed.

This button starts the compressed mode pattern generation. See :TGAP:STARt:TRIGger[:SEND].

To be active, the compressed mode start/stop buttons require:

  • Compressed mode is enabled

  • At least one TGPS is active

  • State is enabled (needs to be running)

  • No setting conflicts in other areas

This button stops the compressed mode pattern generation. See :TGAP:STOP:TRIGger[:SEND].

1. General Settings

State

Choice: Off | On

Default: On

Enables or disables the compressed mode state.

Compressed Mode Trigger Source

Choice: Trigger | Immediate

Default: Trigger

Sets the compressed mode start trigger mode. When this value is set to "Trigger", the compressed mode starts with the trigger operation. When this value is set to "Immediate", the compressed mode starts immediately.

Power Offset

Range: Auto | 0 to 6

Default: Auto

Sets the power offset.

Edit the Power Offset of the uplink Compresses Mode by clicking on the cell. Then click on the dialog box icon to launch the ClosedSetting dialog box.

Downlink Reference Compressed Mode Parameter

Choice: Reference Parameter 1.1 | Reference Parameter 1.2 | Reference Parameter 2.1 | Reference Parameter 2.2

Default: Reference Parameter 1.1 (Modified)

Sets the downlink reference compressed mode parameter defined in 3GPP standard TS25.101. When the parameters are set individually, "Modified" is indicated.

Edit the Downlink Reference Compressed Mode Parameter of the uplink Compresses Mode by clicking on the cell. Then click on the dialog box icon to launch the ClosedDownlink Reference Compressed Mode Parameter dialog box.
