Understanding TPC Values
TPC values determine how the transmit power of the receiving base or mobile station will
vary. In the channel table editor, TPC values are represented in hexadecimal format to
simplify entries and modifications. Figure 13-5 shows the channel table editor with the TPC
value, 7F80, highlighted.
Figure 13-5 Highlighted TPC Value
Hexadecimal TPC values are converted to their binary equivalent. In this example, the value
7F80 becomes 111 1111 1000 0000. Notice that there are 15 digits in the binary TPC value.
Because one frame contains 15 timeslots, one binary digit is assigned to each timeslot (see
Figure 13-6 on page 314). The assigned bit is then repeated enough times to fill the TPC bit
field (see the N
TPC
column of Table 13-2). Since the example in Figure 13-6 uses two TPC bits
per timeslot, the values are either 11 or 00.
The TPC bits that are ones direct the receiving base or mobile station to increase its transmit
power by an amount specified by the W-CDMA standard. Likewise, TPC bits that are zeros
cause the power to decrease by the same amount. In this example, the transmit power is
increasing over timeslots 0 through 7 and decreasing over timeslots 8 through 14.
