Test Parameters
Parameter descriptions
14 RT TCH
This parameter selects the traffic channel’s (TCH) mode for
transmitting information. The mode may be either single (non-hopped),
or hopped over 3 frequencies. Frequency hopping occurs over these 3
absolute radio frequency channel numbers (ARFCNs):
• GSM900: 1, 63, 124
• DCS1800: 512, 699, 885
• PCS1900: 512, 661, 810
Default value The default RT TCH setting is 0 (non-hopped)
Example If you want a hopping traffic channel, select 1 in the value field.
15 RT Cell TCH H.O.
This parameter selects between intra-cell and inter-cell handover
signalling. Handovers occur when the same test is performed on more
than one absolute radio frequency channel (ARFCN). The range is 0 to
1.
Note that parameter 15 influences whether Dual-Band Handover
occurs as Assignment or as Handover. If parameter 15 is set to 1 in the
procedure of the band the mobile is in, then Dual-Band Handover to the
other band is performed as Assignment, and if it is set to 0 then the
Dual-Band Handover is performed as Handover.
NOTE Inter-cell handovers occur between a channel of one base station to a
channel of another base station. Intra-cell hand-overs occur between
channels within the same base station.
Default value The default TCH handover is 1 (intra-cell signaling)
Example If you want inter-cell hand-overs to occur during receiver and
transmitter testing, you would enter 0 in the value field.
