When option 0 is selected, pressing Send Message in the UE Power Control menu (the key above)
transmits a single DCI 0 message with a modified TPC command value, as specified in the Power Adjust
(Accumulated) setting (the key below). This adjusts the power of the PUSCH transmission by the
specified amount.
When option 1A is selected, pressing Send Message in the UE Power Control menu (the key above)
transmits a single DCI 1A message with a modified TPC command value, as specified in the Power Adjust
(Accumulated) setting (the key below).
Selection 1A is required in some RF conformance test cases. For example: The PUCCH part of Aggregate
Power Control Tolerance (as described in 36.521-1 v9.1.0, section 6.3.5.3) requires control of the power
level of the PUCCH using the TPC bits transmitted in DCI 1A messages.
Selecting 3 or 3A is only possible if the scenario file contains a tpc-PDCCH-ConfigPUSCH information
element, with a tpc-Index value set to transmit the appropriate type of DCI message. Like 0 and 1A above,
a single DCI message is sent upon pressing the Send Message menu key.

Power Adjust (Accumulated)
The value selected under this setting (−1, 0, 1, and 3) determines the amount by which the UE’s transmit
power is adjusted by TPC bits inside the specified DCI message.
For DCI3A format, the power adjustment is handled using the Power Adjust
(DCI3A) menu key below. This key does not affect the DCI3A format type.
Key Path: Mode >BSE > Func > UE Power Control
Power Adjust (Absolute)
The value selected under this setting (−4, −1, 1, 4) adjusts the UL Transmit power of the UE.
The scenario file must be set as follows in order to enable this function:
You must set accumlationEnabled inside the uplinkPowerControlDedicated
Information Element, inside the RRC Connection Setup message to False.
