Data (Coded TCH/FS 4.8K, 9.6K GMSK Burst - Advanced)

The TCH/FS 4.8K and 9.6K are coded channels that are available with Option QFP.To open the Data node, click Data in the tree view. Use the Data window to define the bits in the bursts. The cells displayed in the Data section are determined by the Channel Type for the selected timeslot as defined in the Timeslot window.

Data Node Parameters

Use the Data window to define the bits in the bursts. The cells displayed in the Data section are determined by the burst type (Timeslot Type) for the selected timeslot as defined in the Timeslots window. In the window shown above, Timeslots 0 is set up for a data cell with a Traffic Channel Full rate (TCH/F n.nK) Bursts.

Tail bits are set by the software. This cell is not editable.

Data

Choice: PN9 |PN15 | User Defined Bits

Default: PN9

Click the Details button in this cell to open the ClosedData Source Selection window. 

Select an encoded PN9, PN15 or ClosedUser Defined Bits. The selected data is coded continuously across the RLC data block per the 3GPP standards. An independent version of the selected data is coded across the MAC header.

The buttons in this window are described in Marker Source Selection.

Import

Click Import to open a dialog box in which you can navigate to and import a pre-defined pattern file. The imported file automatically updates the user data entry area. The software accepts the following file types:

The maximum file size is 65536 bits. If the imported file is larger than 65536 bits, the software truncates the bits to conform to the maximum file size.

Export

Click Export to open a dialog box in which you can save the current data pattern to a file. You can save the data pattern as one of the following file types:

Clear

Click Clear to clear all data displayed in the user data entry area.

Insert PN9

Click Insert PN9 to insert a fixed psuedo-random bit sequence (pattern) containing 511 bits (29-1) into the user data entry area. The software generates this fixed pattern in accordance with the CCITT recommendation 0.153. You can click this button repeatedly to add additional PN9 sequences until the maximum file size is reached (65536 bits). If the maximum file size is exceeded, the software truncates the excess data. 

To edit the existing data pattern after reaching the maximum file size, insert the cursor at the desired point in the file and press Insert PN9 or use the keyboard 1 and 0 keys. The software inserts the data at the cursor position and truncates data in excess of 65536 bits.

Insert PN15

Click Insert PN15 to insert a fixed pattern psuedo-random bit sequence containing 32,767 bits (215-1) into the user data entry area. The software generates this fixed pattern in accordance with the CCITT recommendation O.153.

To edit the data pattern, insert the cursor at the desired point in the file and click Insert PN15, or enter the information manually using the keyboard keys 1 and 0. The software inserts the data at the cursor position and truncates all data in excess of 65536 bits.

To perform a receiver test with a continuous PN sequence, select PN9.

Stealing Flags (1 + 1 bits) (1 bit entry)

You can enter 1 (control channel burst) or 0 (data channel burst). The default is 0.

Training Sequence Bits (26 bits)

Default: TSCO

Click the Details button in this cell to open the ClosedData Source Selection window.

Select TSC0 to TSC7 or User Defined Bits to use for the training sequence bits.  

The training sequences selections are defined as follows:

If you manually change a timeslot (channel type), the training sequence for that timeslot resets to TSC0 provided that the training sequence was not previously changed for the new channel type.

Data Placement

Choice: Independent | Consecutive Data for TCH/FS Classes with Rearranging | Consecutive Data for TCH/FS Classes

Default: Independent

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the Closeddata placement type. Refer to 3GPP TS 45.003-600, section 3.1 and Table 2; and 3GPP TS 46.010, sections 3.1.1 to 3.1.4.

Data Placement

Choice

Description

Independent

For Independent data placement --two classes of data-- class 1 data (182 protected bits) and class 2 data (78 no protection bits) are created separately and both of these are use the Data parameter as the source. Neither the class 1 or the class 2 data has data arrangement. 

Consecutive data with Subjective Ordering

For Consecutive data with Subjective Ordering case, class 1 and class 2 data are using the same data source, which means they look like a combined field, and use one data source from the Data field. Also, Consecutive data with Subjective Ordering uses the rearrangement procedure described in 3GPP TS 46.010, sections 3.1.1 to 3.1.4. 

Consecutive data without Subjective Ordering

Consecutive data without Subjective Ordering is similar to Consecutive data with Subjective Ordering. But, Consecutive data without Subjective Ordering doesn’t use data bit rearrangement.

2. Control Frame

Data for Control Frame

Choice: PN9 |PN15 | User Defined Bits

Default: PN9

Set the data for the control frame within a multiframe setup. Click the Details button in this cell to open the ClosedData Source Selection window. 

Select PN9, PN15 or User Defined Bits. Select User Defined Bits, to Closedcreate a data string.

The buttons in this window are described in Data.

If the Multiframe type parameter at the Carrier n node is set to 13 Multiframe with idle frame, the Data for Control Frame parameter, while appearing as active, has no effect since there is no control frame.
