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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Allowed Range: 115 (unit: times) Default Value: 3 Setting Tradeoff: If this parameter is set too high, the access success rate may be increased. But the access channel capacity may be affected. If this parameter is set too low, that is, it is set to 1, there is no chance for retransmitting the sequence. Because the radio environment is easy to fluctuate, if the first access failed, the radio environment may become better for the second sequence.

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
2008-02-14 All Rights Reserved Page 58 of 134
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 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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: 12 (unit: occurrences) 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 much like an axis tick mark. 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.

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.

Security Level
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,

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.

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.

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.
