BTS POWER CONTROL FOR IDD/BB HOPPING SECTOR

Purpose:
The purpose of these cases is to prove that BTS power control commands from
the BSC are used on BCCH and non-BCCH TRX configurations for IDD/4UD

Note
Please refer to the reference notes before proceeding with this test case

Equipment and BTS Set-Up

Use the configuration stated below under test case.

Input
1. BTS Power control settings in BSC
are in a way that BCCH power level
is set to maximum, and the whole of
the dynamic power control range is
available. Call is established.
2. Both TX and RX paths are checked
from IDD main and auxiliary TRXs
with a spectrum analyser.
3. The BTS to MS RF path is not
attenuated; forcing the BSC to
decreases BS power over the
dynamic control range.
4. The BTS to MS RF path is then
attenuated so the BSC increases the
BS power over the dynamic control
range.

Expected Output
The call can be established and held until
terminated. For speech the audio quality
is good and without distortion, and for
multi-slot calls the data is received
accurately.
The spectrum analyser indicates that the
mobile can use TX from both main and
auxiliary TRX. For RX paths (4-way
diversity), that any path single or
combination of RX paths can be used
The BCCH transmitted RF power for all
timeslots be at BSC PMAX value.
For non-BCCH channel activation the BS
RF Power reflect the last BS POWER
CNTL from the BSC.
For multi-slot data all used TS in call shall

5. The Abis BS POWER CNTL &

Measurement Report messages and
RF power level of TX Transmission of
BTS are monitored during the whole
test case. The correct power level is
checked for both main and auxiliary
TRXs).
6. The LEDs are verified of the TSxxs
and the BB2s at the BTS and the
BTS Manager. Both should show the
same.

use the same BS power level.

At the BSC all units are in WO and at
the BTS Manager all units are shown as
in SUPERVISORY (objects/properties).

In the Measurement Report, the BTS

reports the last used BS Power level. The
power level is correct for both main and
auxiliary TRXs
