2. Preliminary Decisions
AMPS EAC-2100 Manual: (Draft, 02/01) Page 1-7
A. The reverse path signal level from the repeater is set such that it will trigger
MAHO requests from the boosted subscribers,
B. The donor site MAHO list must include all cell sites that are within overlapping
coverage of the repeater, and
C. Those adjacent cell sites that are within overlapping coverage with the repeater
must have any secondary or backup verification feature (such as subscriber locate
and verify before allowing handoff) disabled. Secondary verification may be useful
in a densely populated system where intermod may false the subscriber’s MAHO
readings, but is not necessary in the rural environments for which the EAC-2100 is
intended.
If there is no adjacent cell site to which the donor can direct the subscriber to, then the EAC-
2100 will maintain the boost path for as long as it can.
Ending the Boost. The EAC-2100 will terminate a boosted call under the following conditions:
A. Loss of signal, either from the donor or the subscriber,
B. The subscriber has terminated the call,
C. The land-side or donor has terminated the call, or
D. The EAC-2100 has handed the subscriber to the donor DTC RF channel, or
E. The donor has handed the subscriber (through the boosted DTC RF channel) to an
adjacent cell site.
