Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOCNP Search Command: LST DOCNP Allowed Range: TIMES4(4 Times), TIMES8(8 Times), TIMES16(16 Times), TIME32(32 Times) Default Value: TIMES8 Setting Tradeoff: If the parameter is set too low, the latency of the DRCLock bit change is reduced. But the transmission reliability of DRCLock bits is lower. If the parameter is set too high, the latency of the DRCLock bit change is higher. But the transmission reliability of DRCLock bits is improved.

2.1.5 Enhanced Protocol DRCLock Bit Repetition Times (DRCLOCKLENGTH)

Security Level

Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOGCNP Search Command: LST DOGCNP Allowed Range: YES(ALLOWED), NO(PROHIBITED) Default Value: NO Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is disabled, the AT does not decode the multiuser packet that is sent by the AN. As a result, this may cause delay sensitive applications do not meet their QoS requirements.

2.1.7 Short Packets Enabled Threshold (SHRTPKTENTHRLD)


Description: This parameter indicates the threshold for which the AN serves an AT requesting a given DRC with a short packet format. Type: Global configuration negotiation parameter Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOGCNP Search Command: LST DOGCNP Allowed Range: BIT2048(2048 BITS), BIT1024(1024 BITS),

BIT3072(3072BITS), BIT4096(4096 BITS) Default Value: BIT2048 Setting Tradeoff: If this threshold is set too high, the time for the AT to decode a packet may be increased. If this threshold is set too low, the short

packet formats that the AN can choose from to schedule a transmission to the AT are fewer. This may decrease the transmission efficiency of the control channel and cause delay sensitive applications to not meet their QoS requirements.

2.2 Reverse Channel Parameters


2.2.1 DRC Channel Gain (DRCChannelGain)
Description: This parameter indicates the power offset of the reverse DRC channel relative to the reverse pilot channel. Based the number of soft handoff legs, DRCChannelGain is divided into DRCCHGAIN1 to DRCCHGAIN6, respectively corresponding to the power offsets when the number of soft handoff legs is from 1 to 6. Type: The air interface parameter of module level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOMPP
2008-02-14 All Rights Reserved Page 10 of 134

CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A Performance Parameters

Security Level

Search Command: LST DOMPP Allowed Range: 18 to 12 (unit: 0.5 dB) Default Value: Recommended value provided by Qualcomm, as listed in Table 2-1. Table 2-1 Qualcomm recommended value of DRCChannelGain with different soft handoff leg count

Setting Tradeoff: If the value is set too high, the reliability of DRC transmission is higher, but the effect on the throughput of the reverse link is greater. If the value is set too low, the effect on the throughput of the reverse link is less, and the reliability of DRC transmission is reduced. The parameter value varies according to the number of soft handoff legs.

2.2.2 Default Protocol DRC Channel Continuous Transmission Enabled (DRCGATING)


Description: When the DRC channel is transmitted continuously, each DRC value is transmitted on the DRCLength timeslots. If the DRCGating is equal to 1, perform gated DRC transmission. In the case of gated DRC transmission, the DRC value is transmitted on only one DRCLength timeslot. The timeslot is called active timeslot when the DRC channel is not gated. Type: The air interface parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOCNP Search Command: LST DOCNP Allowed Range: CONTINUOUS(YES), DISCONTINUOUS(NO) Default Value: CONTINUOUS(YES)

Security Level

Setting Tradeoff: If the DRCGating is enabled, the interference of the reverse link is reduced, but the performance of the DRC channel is deteriorated. The continuous DRC channel transmission can improve the DRC channel performance, but it increases the reverse link interference.

2.2.3 Enhanced Protocol DRC Channel Continuous Transmission Enabled (ENHDRCGATING)


Description: See section 2.2.2 Default Protocol DRC Channel Continuous Transmission Enabled (DRCGATING). Type: The air interface parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOCNP Search Command: LST DOCNP Allowed Range: CONTINUOUS(YES), DISCONTINUOUS(NO) Default Value: CONTINUOUS(YES) Setting Tradeoff: See section 2.2.2 Default Protocol DRC Channel

Continuous Transmission Enabled (DRCGATING).

2.2.4 DSC Channel Gain (DSCChannelGain)


Description: This parameter indicates the power offset of the reverse DSC channel relative to the reverse pilot channel. Based the number of soft handoff legs, DSCChannelGain is divided into DSCCHGAIN1 to DSCCHGAIN6, repectively corresponding to the power offsets when the number of soft handoff legs is from 1 to 6. Type: The protocol parameter of CDMA2000 1xEV-DO module level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOMPP Search Command: LST DOMPP Allowed Range: 031 (unit: 0.5 dB) Default Value: 18 (It does not vary according to the number of soft handoff legs.)

Security Level

Setting Tradeoff: If the value is set too high, the reliability of DSC transmission is higher, but the effect on the throughput of the reverse link is greater. If the value is set too low, the effect on the throughput of the reverse link is less, and the reliability of DRC transmission is reduced.

2.2.5 ACK Channel Gain (ACKChannelGain)


Description: This parameter indicates the power offset of the reverse ACK channel relative to the reverse pilot channel. Based the number of soft handoff legs, ACKChannelGain is divided into ACKCHGAIN1 to ACKCHGAIN6, repectively corresponding to the power offsets when the number of soft handoff legs is from 1 to 6. Type: The air interface parameter of module level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOMPP Search Command: LST DOMPP Allowed Range: 6 to 12 (unit: 0.5 dB) Default Value: 6 (3 dB) Setting Tradeoff: When you set this parameter, try to minimize the probability of ACK error and loss. Thus, the PER and forward throughput are not obviously affected. If this parameter is set too high, the reverse capacity is greatly affected.

2.2.6 DRCLength (DRCLEN1/2/3/4/5/6BRANCH)


Description: This parameter specifies the number of timeslots that the AT uses to transmit a single DRC value at soft handoff legs from 1 to 6. The system, according to the legs for the AT, determines the DRCLength value that is delivered to the AT. If the AT has sent DRC to sector A and specified request rate r over n timeslots, the AT should search prefix transmitted by sector A at rate r from n+1 timeslots to n+DRCLength timeslots. Table 2-2 shows the DRCLength coding.

Table 2-2 DRCLength coding

Type: The air interface parameter of module level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOMPP Search Command: LST DOMPP Allowed Range: 03 Default Value: 1 (2 timeslots) for one leg, 2 (4 timeslots) for more than one leg Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, the transmission reliability the DRC value is higher. But the DRC change rate is lower, so the DRC change cannot keep pace with the change of the radio environment. If this parameter is set too low, the retransmission of the DRC value is reduced, and the transmission reliability of the DRC value is also reduced. But the DRC change rate is higher.

2.2.7 DRC Offset (DRCOFFSET)


Description: This parameter indicates the value of the offset parameter corresponding to different DRCValue. Type: Global configuration negotiation parameter Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOGCNP Search Command: LST DOGCNP Allowed Range: Refer to Table 2-3.

Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, the forward throughput may be reduced because the choice of packet sizes the AN uses to transmit forward data is limited. If this parameter is set too low, the services whose PER at the physical layer is much less than 1% do not meet their QoS requirements.

Chapter 3 Access Parameters


3.1.1 Access Channel Probe Cycle (ACYCLEDURATION)

Description: This parameter indicates the maximum number of frames in an access channel capsule. Type: The air interface parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOAPM Search Command: LST DOAPM Allowed Range: 27 (unit: frames) Default Value: 2 Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too low, the large access channel message data capsule cannot be carried. But the access probe time is reduced, and the access channel capacity is increased.

3.1.4 AT Open Loop Power Estimation (OLOOPADJUST)


Description: The AT uses this parameter to estimate the average open loop output power (X0) of the pilot channel during an access probe. X0 ranges from 6 dB to +6 dB and should range from 9 dB to +9 dB in the following formula: X 0 = Mean Received Power (dBm) + OpenLoopAdjust + ProbeInitialAdjust Type: The air interface parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOAPM Search Command: LST DOAPM Allowed Range: 0255 (unit: 1 dB) Default Value: 85 Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too low, the open loop power estimate is increased, and the time for a successful access of the AT is reduced.

parameter is set too high, the AT must perform multiple access probes before a successful access.

3.1.5 Open Loop Power Estimate Correction Factor (PRBINIADJUST)


Description: This parameter and the AT Open Loop Power Estimation (OLOOPADJUST) are used to estimate the open loop mean output power. Refer to section 3.1.4 (OLOOPADJUST). Type: The air interface parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOAPM Search Command: LST DOAPM Allowed Range: 16 to 15 (unit: dB) Default Value: 0 Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, the reverse capacity may be affecting, causing great power redundancy.

Security Level

Type: The air interface parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOAPM Search Command: LST DOAPM Allowed Range: 115 (unit: times) Default Value: 15 Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, the access failure due to poor reverse link can be improved. But for access failures caused by collision, the interference of the reverse link is increased, because the energy of the access probe is increased step by step. If the parameter is set too low, the interval for each access probe sequence is small. Thus, access failures due to collision can be improved.

3.1.7 Probe Power UP Step (PWRSTEP)


Description: This parameter indicates the increase in power between successive probes within the same sequence, in resolution of 0.5 dB. The AT transmits the pilot channel of the "i-th" probe in a single probe sequence at the power of X0 + (i-1) x PowerStep, in which "X0" indicates open loop mean output power of the AT pilot channel (X0 = Mean RX power (dBm) + OpenLoopAdjust + ProbeInitialAdjust).

Search Command: LST DOAPM Allowed Range: Hexadecimal numerals with no more 2 digits. The maximum is 0x3F, at which the access is forbidden. Default Value: 0x00 Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, the success rate of the persistence test is reduced, and the time for sending access probes is prolonged. But the probability of access probe collision is reduced. At the initial stage of network construction, the APersistence value must be set low to decrease the access duration because the access load is light. With the increase of the network load, the APersistence value must be increased to reduce access collision and ensure the access success rate.

3.1.9 Access Marco Diversity Switch (ACCMACRODIVSWITCH)


Description: This parameter determines whether to enable the access macro diversity function. Type: The internal parameter of module level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DORRMMP Search Command: LST DORRMMP Allowed Range: ON(ON), OFF(OFF) Default Value: ON(ON) Setting Tradeoff: None.

Chapter 5 Handoff Parameters


5.1 Pilot Set Decision
5.1.1 Pilot Good Available Threshold (PILOTADD)
Description: If the strength of a pilot reaches this parameter value, the pilot can be added to the active set. If the strength of the pilots in a neighbor set or in a remaining set reaches this parameter value when AT is in Connection state, a RouteUpdate message is sent. Type: The air interface parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOCNP Search Command: LST DOCNP Allowed Range: 63 to 0 (unit: 0.5 dB) Default Value: 14 Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, the soft handoff ratio is reduced. The soft handoff, however, may be delayed. Therefore, some areas that cannot be covered may exist. If this parameter is set too low, the soft handoff threshold decreases. This increases the soft handoff area and the soft handoff ratio.

5.1.2 Pilot Compare Threshold (PILOTCMP)


Description: This parameter indicates the compare threshold between the active set and the candidate set. When the strength of a candidate set is greater than this parameter value in an active set pilot, the AT sends a RouteUpdate message.

Search Command: LST DOCNP Allowed Range: 32 to 31 (unit: 0.5 dB) Default Value: 5 Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too low, ping-pong handoffs easily occur. If this parameter is set too high, the AT is unable to obtain services on the optimum pilot in time.

5.1.3 Pilot Drop Threshold (PILOTDROP)


Description: When the strength of a pilot in the active set or in the candidate set is less than this parameter value, the AT shall start a pilot drop timer. Type: The air interface parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOCNP Search Command: LST DOCNP Allowed Range: 63 to 0 (unit: 0.5 dB) Default Value: 18 Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, an available signal can be easily deleted from the active set. If this parameter is set too low, it is difficult to delete the pilot with low strength from the active set.

5.1.4 Pilot Drop Timer Length (PILOTDROPTIMER)


Description: When the strength of a pilot in the active set or in the candidate set is lower than the value of PILOTDROP, the AT starts the pilot drop timer based on this parameter value. Type: The air interface parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOCNP Search Command: LST DOCNP Allowed Range: S0(0.1SECOND)S15(319SECONDS) (unit: second) Table 5-1 lists the coding mode of the PilotDropTimer.

Default Value: S3(4SECONDS) Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, the pilot with low strength in the active set stays in the active set for a long time, thus wasting the forward traffic channel resources. If this parameter is set too low, when the strength of a pilot in the active set fluctuates, this pilot is easily removed from the active set, causing frequent handoffs.

5.1.5 Max. Branch Number for Active Set (HOMAXBRANCHNUM)


Description: This parameter indicates the maximum number of branches in the soft handoff target active set. Type: The internal parameter of module level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DORRMMP Search Command: LST DORRMMP Allowed Range: 26 (unit: branches) Default Value: 3 Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, the transmission performance of a single AT reverse link is improved.

this parameter is set too low, the transmission performance of a single AT reverse link is degraded. But the number of subscribers that the sector reverse link can support is increased.

5.1.6 Neighbor Set Max. AGE (NBRMAXAGE)


Description: This parameter defines the maximum life duration of pilots in the neighbor set. The AT has a counter for each pilot in the neighbor set. When the AT receives a Neighbor List Update Message (NLUM), the AT shall increment the counters of the original pilots in the neighbor set by 1. If the counter of a pilot exceeds this parameter value, the AT shall remove this pilot from the neighbor set. Type: The air interface parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOCNP Search Command: LST DOCNP Allowed Range: 015 Default Value: 0 Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, a pilot that drops from the active set or candidate set can stay a longer time in the neighbor set. If this parameter is set to 0, each time the AT receives the NLUM, the AT takes the neighbor pilot list in the NLUM for a new pilot neighbor set. If there are many neighbor cells, set the parameter to 0. This ensures that AT always uses the neighbor pilot contents of the latest NLUM delivered by the BSC.

5.2 Configuration Negotiation


5.2.1 Search Window Size for Active Set and Candidate Set (SRCHWINA)
Description: This parameter specifies the search window size for the active set and candidate set.

If this parameter is set too high, some irrelevant signals (PN confusion) may be included in the search window, and a large search window slows down neighbor pilots searching by the AT, thus affecting the system performance.

5.2.2 Search Window Size for Neighbor Set (SRCHWINN)


Description: The AT uses the search window size to search for carriers in the neighbor set. Type: The air interface parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOCNP Search Command: LST DOCNP Allowed Range: 015 Default Value: 10, that is, 100 chips Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, the AT needs more time for searching. If this parameter is set too low, the pilot branches may be lost.

5.2.3 Search Window Size for Remaining Set (SRCHWINR)


Description: This parameter specifies the search window size for the remaining set. The AT uses the search window size to search for carriers in the remaining set. Type: The air interface parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOCNP Search Command: LST DOCNP Allowed Range: 015 Default Value: 10, that is, 100 chips Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too low, some useful pilots in the remaining set may be missed.

needs more time to search pilots in the remaining set. This slows down the search speed of the AT.

5.3 Soft Handoff


5.3.1 Soft Handoff Delay (SFTHODLY)
Description: The AN shall set this parameter to the minimum interruption that the AT expects when the AT switches the DRC from a source sector to a target sector during a soft handoff. Type: The air interface parameter of module level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOGCNP Search Command: LST DOGCNP Allowed Range: 0255 (unit: 8 timeslot) Default Value: 16, that is, 128 timeslots Setting Tradeoff: It is recommended that the value should be greater than DRCLock Interval + 1. The DRCLock Interval is equal to the DRCLockPeriod*DRCLockLength.

5.3.2 Softer Handoff Delay (SFTERHODLY)


Description: The AN shall set this parameter to the minimum interruption that the AT expects when the AT switches the DRC from a source sector to a target sector during a softer handoff. Type: The air interface parameter of module level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOMCNP Search Command: LST DOMCNP Allowed Range: 0255 (unit: 8 timeslot) Default Value: 1, that is, 8 timeslots Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, the forward transmission may be interrupted for a long time. If this parameter is set too low, the target serving sector starts sending data when the source serving sector does not stop sending data, thus causing data overlap.

Type: The air interface parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DONBRPARA Search Command: LST DONBRPARA Allowed Range: 015 (The maintenance console lists the optional chip quantities in tables.) Default Value: 8, that is, 60 chips Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too low, the pilot signals may be lost. As a result, the pilot signals cannot be added to the active set and soft handoff fails. If this parameter is set too high, the AT needs more time to search for each neighbor pilot, slowing down the speed of searching neighbor pilots. As a result, the soft handoff is delayed.

Command Line: Modify CMD: MOD RLMACGP List CMD: LST RLMACGP Allowed Range: 01 Default Value: 0 means(Bi-Polar (+1 implies ACK and .1 implies NAK)) Setting Tradeoff: Setting Tradeoff: Bipolar Keying requires allocation of more power to the Ack channel, but offers higher decoding reliability. On/Off Keying requires less Ack channel power but with lower decoding reliability, so for a given SINR, Bipolar Keying is more reliable than On/Off keying.

FRABFilterTC(FRABFLTRTC)
Description: Filtered Reverse Activity Bit Filter Time Constant is the Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter time constant the access terminal uses for computing the Filtered RA Bit. It is a method by which continuous averaging is performed on streaming values of RAB over a specified window of RAB samples. The time constant in this case corresponds to the duration over which the filter collects RAB samples to be included in the averaging process in addition to the average calculated in the previous averaging window. This value is used to estimate the long term traffic activity on a given sector. Type: The parameter of BSC level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACGP Search Command: LST RLMACGP Allowed Range: SLOT128, SLOT256, SLOT384, SLOT512

CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A Performance Parameters

Security Level

Default Value: SLOT384 Setting Tradeoff: If the time constant is set low then the averaging would be more prone to sudden spikes (increases) in loading making the average less representative of the long term sector activity. This may increase the number of busy reports for a smaller number of busy event occurrences. If the time constant is set too long then the average may be too smooth and variations in the RAB may be underestimated. With underestimated FRAB, reports of busy conditions are less frequent and RTCMAC may allow an AT to transmit at levels that may cause large variations in the ROT.

PilotStrengthFilterTC(PSFLTRTC)
Description: PilotStrengthFilterTC. Pilot Strength Filter Time Constant is the IIR filter time constant the AT uses for computing the filtered pilot strength, PilotStrengthn,s for sector s in the ATs active set. Type: The parameter of BSC level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACGP Search Command: LST RLMACGP Allowed Range: SLOT32, SLOT64, SLOT128 Default Value: SLOT64 Setting Tradeoff: If set too low, the averaging is more prone to spikes resulting in the QRAB being more likely to be detected as busy. If set too high, the averaging becomes too smooth resulting in the QRAB

Type: The parameter of BSC level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACGP Search Command: LST RLMACGP Allowed Range: SLOT4, SLOT8 Default Value: SLOT4 Setting Tradeoff: If set too low, the averaging is more prone to spikes resulting in the QRAB being more likely to be detected as busy. If set too high, the averaging becomes too smooth resulting in the QRAB to be more likely to be detected as not busy and may result in excess interference in the system.

T2PNoTxFilterTC(T2PNOTXFLTRTC)
Description: T2PNoTxFilterTC. Filter time constant used to compute the average T2P when the access terminal is in the Open state, but not transmitting on the Reverse Traffic Channel due to not receiving the corresponding Forward Channel. This is typical of hybrid mode operation. Type: The parameter of BSC level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACGP Search Command: LST RLMACGP Allowed Range: SUBFRAME16, SUBFRAME24, SUBFRAME32,

SUBFRAME64, SUBFRAME128 Default Value: SUBFRAME24 Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set to a long time constant, then the T2PInflow value decays less during a 1x tuneaway, and comes back to EV-DO mode with a more aggressive transmit power. In an unloaded sector, the ATs T2PInflow upon returning from a tune-away will be at a similar level compared that before the tune-away. This will allow the AT to transmit using higher payload sizes, and may increase the instantaneous throughput of that AT after returning from the tune-away. If this parameter was set to a short time constant, then the T2PInflow decays more during a tune-away and the AT comes back with a less aggressive transmit power. This may cause excess delay in the ramping of payload sizes transmitted on the Reverse Link. The positive side is this would allow smoother variations in the Rise-over-Thermal in the system after the AT returns from a tune-away. The reason to not make the time constant long is that there is a potential that channel conditions and sector loading may change some while the AT is tuned away. Once the AT comes back, power

control runs to compensate for the channel state, and RAB runs to compensate for loading changes. This constant helps avert the possibility of an AT returning from a tuneaway transmitting at a higher than necessary power causing excess interference to other ATs in the system.

FRABlow(FRABTHRLD)
Description: FRABlow. Filtered Reverse Activity Bit Low is the low end threshold for FRAB such that FRAB values below FRABlow indicate a sector with a lightly loaded reverse link. This parameter is used to determine the conditions at which the network may be characterized as being not busy. This is typically used to control the merging of heterogeneous flows (in terms of Transmission Mode) into the same physical layer packet. Type: The parameter of BSC level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACGP Search Command: LST RLMACGP Allowed Range: FRAB02(-0.2), FRAB04(-0.4), FRAB06(-0.6), FRAB08(-0.8), FRAB1(-1) Default Value: FRAB08(-0.8) Setting Tradeoff: If set too high, higher data rates are more likely achievable, but HiCap flows may utilize excess power resources for packet transmissions. If set too low, higher data rates are less likely

MergeThreshold(MERGETHRLD)
Description: MergeThreshold. Merge Threshold (in octets) is used to decide if Reverse Link MAC packets from HiCap and LoLat flows can be merged and sent in a LoLat transmission mode. Type: The parameter of BSC level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACGP Search Command: LST RLMACGP Allowed Range: 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, Infinite number of octets Default Value: 512 Setting Tradeoff: If set too high, HiCap flows may be starved of transmit power resources needed to deliver its data and will not be able to meet its delay bound. If set too low, HiCap flows may unnecessarily transmit at higher power levels or be sent as a LoLat transmission, increasing the ROT in the system.

Type: The parameter of BSC level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACGP Search Command: LST RLMACGP Allowed Range: 768, 1024, 1536, Infinite number of bytes (unit: bytes) Default Value: 1024 Setting Tradeoff: If set too high, HiCap flows would be less frequently transmitted as a LoLat transmission, resulting in lower achievable data rates and higher latencies. If set too low, higher data rates and lower latencies could be more frequently achievable for HiCap flows, but these HiCap flows would utilize excess power resources for packet transmissions increasing ROT in the system.

The OTA value is given in units of 0.25 dB. Type: The parameter of BSC level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACGP Search Command: LST RLMACGP Allowed Range: 0, 3, 6, 9 (unit: dB) Default Value: 6 Setting Tradeoff: This is used to decide if a sectors RAB should be included in a MAC flows QRAB calculation. If set too low, the probability of receiving a busy RAB indication increases because the increased number of sectors used by the ATs QRAB calculation. This results in a reduction of T2PInflow for delay-sensitive applications. The upshot is the ATs lower T2PInflow results in lower interference. As a result, data transmissions for delay sensitive applications may not meet their QoS requirements. This is similar behavior to the conservative (default) approach of calculating RAB in 1xEV-DO Release 0.

If set too high, the probability of receiving a busy RAB indication decreases because the reduced number of sectors used by the ATs QRAB calculation. This results in an increase of T2PInflow for delay-sensitive applications. The disadvantage is ATs higher T2PInflow results in higher interference. However, data

transmissions for delaysensitive applications will meet their QoS requirements.

Type: The parameter of BSC level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACGP Search Command: LST RLMACGP Allowed Range: 12 Default Value: 2 Setting Tradeoff: This parameter describes the granularity for which the function is defined. If set high the function would have a finer granularity giving a response to a larger number of Pilot strength conditions. This would require more bits to represent causing more OTA overhead. If set low, then the function would have coarser granularity giving the function a more limited response to pilot strength conditions, however the OTA overhead is reduced.

PilotStrengthAxis0(PSAXIS0)
Description: PilotStrengthAxis0. This is one of the values that define the PilotStrength axis tick marks. Type: The parameter of BSC level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACGP Search Command: LST RLMACGP Allowed Range: 15 to 0 (unit: dB) Default Value: 0 Setting Tradeoff: In conjunction with NumPilotStrengthAxisValues, this parameter defines the range of pilot strength values to which the function is responsive to.

reverse link rate shaping is to be applied to. If the combination is set such that the range is high, then a larger region of the coverage would have reverse link rate shaping applied to thereby increasing the potential number of users whose QoS might be affected. However, other cell interference from outlying users is reduced. If the combination is set such that the range is low, then a smaller region of the coverage is affected, thereby affecting a smaller potential number of users. The start and end points of the range are also defined by this parameter depending on the distribution of the Ec/Io of the coverage region for which rate shaping is to be in effect.

PilotStrengthPilotStrengthAxis0(PSPSAXIS0)
Description: PilotStrengthPilotStrengthAxis0. This is a factor used to scale the T2PInflow if the filtered serving sector PilotStrength equals the corresponding PilotStrengthAxis It is used to scale the T2PInflow for an access terminal at the edge of coverage (as an example) by an amount related to its position within the coverage area. Pilot strength is used in this case to measure/characterize the access terminals proximity to the cell center. Type: The parameter of BSC level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACGP Search Command: LST RLMACGP Allowed Range: 15 to 0 (unit: dB) Default Value: 0 Setting Tradeoff: This is the value of the factor by which T2PInflow is scaled. If set high, other cell interference is reduced and capacity is increased, however some delay sensitive MAC flows may not receive the T2P allocation required to meet QoS requirements. If set low, other cell interference is not reduced as much, however certain outlying delay sensitive MAC flows QoS would not have their T2P allocation affected. In conjunction with PilotStrengthAxisX, the combination decides the amount of

Type: User class parameter Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACUP Search Command: LST RLMACUP Allowed Range: 0255 (unit: 0.25 dB) Default Value: 26 Setting Tradeoff: Typically, the power consumed to transmit a reverse link traffic packet is quantified such that it is less than the larger of: TxT2Pmin and the sum of PotentialT2POutflow for all MAC flows. If set too high, then flows may ignore commands to transmit at lower power levels. This may result in pushing the AT to operate near the PA headroom though it would provide more reverse link power resources to serve delay sensitive applications. If set too low, delay sensitive or real time applications may suffer from queue buildup and increased delays.

The idea is to try and keep the access terminals transmitting no more than the necessary power for the access network to successfully decode the reverse link at a preset quality level. If set high, a step might simply mean more power than necessary, causing excess interference while reaching the desired power level quicker. If set low, reaching the desired power level might be slower, but with a better estimate of required change in power causing less reverse link interference.

in sub-frame n if the Physical Layer packet size transmitted in sub-frame n (4 k) was PS bits. This parameter was introduced to limit the disparity in packet sizes between any 3 consecutively transmitted packets. Limiting the difference in payload size between consecutive packets implies limiting the variation in the ATs transmit power, which in turn limits the variation in the rise over thermal. Type: User class parameter Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACUP Search Command: LST RLMACUP Allowed Range: 012 0x0-0, 0x1-128bit, 0x2-256bit, 0x3-512bit, 0x4-768bit, 0x5-1024bit,

A higher slope indicates a larger disparity between consecutive payloads, causing a larger variation in ROT. In other words, the size of sudden spikes in ROT depends on the disparity between consecutive packet sizes. The resulting level of interference depends on how high the ROT is when sudden spikes in ROT occur. This is advantageous for QoS flows requiring transmission of larger payload sizes. These flows will be allowed to quickly ramp up to the largest payload size needed for the transmission.

The lower the disparity the less the variation in the ROT. This can be disadvantageous for QoS flows requiring transmission of larger payload sizes. These flows will not be allowed to quickly ramp up to the largest payload size needed for the transmission. The result is that certain MAC flows may not

Type: The internal algorithm parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACUP Search Command: LST RLMACUP Allowed Range: 15 to 0 dB Default Value: 10 Setting Tradeoff: In conjunction with NumPilotStrengthAxisValues, this parameter defines the range of pilot strength values to which the function is responsive to. This defines the region of coverage that reverse link rate shaping is to be applied to. If the combination is set such that the range is high, then a larger region of the coverage would have reverse link rate shaping applied to thereby increasing the potential number of users whose QoS might be affected. However, other cell interference from outlying users is reduced. If the

combination is set such that the range is low, then a smaller region of the coverage is affected, thereby affecting a smaller potential number of users. The start and end points of the range are also defined by this parameter depending on the distribution of the Ec/Io of the coverage region for which rate shaping is to be in effect.

T2PInflowmax(T2PINFLOWMAX)
Description: T2PInflowmax. This is the maximum T2PInflow that the receiver can use to determine the T2P allocation for MAC flow NN, where NN > 00. It is specified as an 8-bit value in units of 0.25 dB. This is an upper bound on the maximum data rate for a flow. Type: The parameter of flow level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACRP Search Command: LST RLMACRP Allowed Range: 0255 (unit: 0.25 dB) Default Value: 120 Setting Tradeoff: If this value is set too high, there is an increased risk of unused T2P resources, though this provides sufficient resources for serving a MAC flows requirement. If set too low, there may be insufficient T2P resources available for transmission of large payload sizes. The consequence is an increase in data queue buildup and certain flows not being able to meet their QoS requirements.

Type: The parameter of flow level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACRP Search Command: LST RLMACRP Allowed Range: 0255 (unit: 0.25 dB) Default Value: 15 Setting Tradeoff: Typically, the power consumed to transmit a reverse link traffic packet is quantified such that it is less than the larger of: TxT2Pmin and the sum of PotentialT2POutflow for all MAC flows. If set too high, then flows may ignore commands to transmit at lower power levels. This may result in pushing the AT to operate near the PA headroom though it would provide more reverse link power resources to serve delay sensitive applications. If set too low, delay sensitive or real time applications may suffer from queue buildup and increased delays.

This parameter was introduced to limit the disparity in packet sizes between any 3 consecutively transmitted packets. Limiting the difference in payload size between consecutive packets implies limiting the variation in the ATs transmit power, which in turn limits the variation in the rise over thermal. Type: The parameter of flow level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACUP Search Command: LST RLMACUP Allowed Range: 012 0x0-0, 0x1-128bit, 0x2-256bit, 0x3-512bit, 0x4-768bit, 0x5-1024bit,

0x6-1536bit, 0x7-2048bit, 0x8-3072bit, 0x9-4096bit, 0xA-6144bit, 0xB-8192bit, 0xC-12288bit Default Value: 0x9 Setting Tradeoff: The argument of the tradeoff here applies to the slope of the line shown in Figure A higher slope indicates a larger disparity between consecutive payloads, causing a larger variation in ROT. In other words, the size of sudden spikes in ROT depends on the disparity between consecutive packet sizes. The resulting level of interference depends on how high the ROT is when sudden spikes in ROT occur. This is advantageous for QoS flows requiring transmission of larger payload sizes. These flows will be allowed to quickly ramp up to the largest payload size needed for the transmission.

The lower the disparity the less the variation in the ROT. This can be disadvantageous for QoS flows requiring transmission of larger payload sizes. These flows will not be allowed to quickly ramp up to the largest payload size needed for the transmission. The result is that certain MAC flows may not receive the resources needed to meet certain QoS

requirements.

QRABSelect(QRABSELECT)
Description: QRABSelect. Used to indicate one of two methods by which QRAB can be calculated to estimate short term sector loading for MAC flow NN. Type: The parameter of flow level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACFP Search Command: LST RLMACFP Allowed Range: See the following table. Default Value: See the following table. Setting Tradeoff: If 0x00, the QRAB value (QRABn) is determined by the logical OR of RABs sent by all pilots in the ATs active set. The probability of receiving a busy RAB indication increases because the increased number of sectors used by the ATs QRAB calculation. This results in a reduction of T2PInflow for delay-sensitive applications. The upshot is the ATs lower T2PInflow results in lower interference. As a result, data transmissions for delay sensitive applications may not meet their QoS requirements. This is similar behavior to the conservative (default) approach of calculating RAB in 1xEV-DO Release 0.

If 0x01 is the value chosen, the probability of receiving a busy RAB indication decreases because the reduced number of sectors used by the ATs QRAB calculation (QRABps,n). This results in an increase of T2PInflow for delay-sensitive applications. The disadvantage is ATs higher T2PInflow results in higher interference.

7.4.4 T2PinflowRangeNN Attribute T2PInflowmin(T2PINFLOWMIN)


Description: T2PInflowmin. This is the minimum T2P inflow that the receiver can use to determine the T2P allocation for MAC flow NN, where NN > 00. It is specified as an 8-bit value in units of 0.25 dB. It is a minimum data rate guarantee for a flow. Type: The parameter of flow level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACFP Search Command: LST RLMACFP Allowed Range: [0, 255]

Default Value: See the above table. Unit: 0.25 dB. Setting Tradeoff: If set too high, the risk of other cell interference is increased, although flows would be allowed a higher minimum data rate. If set too low, the minimum data rate is lower, although other cell interference is reduced.

T2PInflowmax(T2PINFLOWMAX)
Description: T2PInflowmax. This is the maximum T2PInflow that the receiver can use to determine the T2P allocation for MAC flow NN, where NN > 00. It is specified as an 8-bit value in units of 0.25 dB. This is an upper bound on the maximum data rate for a flow. Type: The parameter of flow level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD RLMACFP Search Command: LST RLMACFP Allowed Range: [0, 255] Default Value: See the above table. Unit: 0.25 dB. Setting Tradeoff: If this value is set too high, there is an increased risk of unused T2P resources, though this provides sufficient resources for serving a MAC flows requirement. If set too low, there may be insufficient T2P resources available for transmission of large payload sizes. The consequence is an increase in data queue buildup and certain flows not being able to meet their QoS requirements.

Chapter 8 Reverse Power Control Parameters


8.1 Reverse Target PER (DOAREVPER)
Description: This parameter indicates the PER value that the reverse data expects. Type: The internal parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOARPCP Search Command: LST DORRMP: DORRMINF=DOARPCP; Allowed Range: RPER1(0.1)RPER300(30) (unit: 0.1%) Default Value: RPER10(1), that is, 1% Setting Tradeoff: The target PER setting must consider the balance between the reverse transmit power and the system load. If this parameter is set too low, the transmit power of the AT is higher, and the reverse load of the system is also increased.

8.2 Minimum PCT (MINPCT)


Description: This parameter indicates the minimum PCT value that can be adjusted for outer loop power control. Type: The internal parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOARPCP Search Command: LST DORRMP: DORRMINF=DOARPCP; Allowed Range: 28672 to 12416 (unit: 1/1024 dB) Default Value: 22016 (21.5 dB) Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too low, the PCT fluctuates dynamically in a wide range. When the signal quality on the reverse link is good, the reverse transmit power of ATs and the reverse load of the system can be reduced. When the reverse link experiences

instant signal fading, however, the power cannot be increased in time, thus affecting the transmission performance of ATs.

8.3 Maximum PCT (MAXPCT)


Description: This parameter indicates the maximum PCT value that can be adjusted for outer loop power control. Type: The internal parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOARPCP Search Command: LST DORRMP: DORRMINF=DOARPCP; Allowed Range: 28672 to 12416 (unit: 1/1024 dB) Default Value: 17920 (17.5 dB) Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, the performance can be improved, especially in a poor radio environment. But the reverse transmit power is increased, and the reverse capacity of the system is decreased.

8.4 Initial PCT (INITPCT)


Description: The outer loop power control begins with the initial PCT value. The BSC adjusts the PCT value from time to time based on the initial PCT value. Type: The internal parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOARPCP Search Command: LST DORRMP: DORRMINF=DOARPCP; Allowed Range: 28672 to 12416 (unit: 1/1024 dB) Default Value: 18432 (18 dB) Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, the performance can be ensured at the initial stage of call setup.

8.5 PCT UP Step of IDLE Frame in NoData State (NODATADELTA)


Description: This parameter specifies the PCT UP Step of IDLE frames in the NoData state. Type: The internal parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOARPCP Search Command: LST DORRMP: DORRMINF=DOARPCP; Allowed Range: 01024 (unit: 1/1024 dB) Default Value: 10 Setting Tradeoff: The value of this parameter must be smaller than the value of RPC Step (RPCSTEP).

8.6 Maximum PCT Increment in NoData State (NoDataMaxIncrease)


Description: This parameter specifies the maximum allowed increment of the PCT for successively received IDLE frames in NoData state . Type: The internal parameter of sector carrier level Command Line: Modify Command: MOD DOARPCP Search Command: LST DORRMP: DORRMINF=DOARPCP; Allowed Range: 032768 (unit: 1/1024 dB) Default Value: 500 Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, link change in NoData state can be effectively compensated to ensure the performance at the beginning of data transfer. There is, however, the risk of over compensation, which may increase power consumption. When setting this parameter, ensure a balance between power

consumption and transmission performance.

8.7 Maximum PCT in NoData State (NoDataMaxPCT)


Description: This parameter specifies the maximum PCT value in the NoData state.
