683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	21.4.3.1 Definition	The MS shall be capable of measuring the received signal quality, which is specified in terms of bit error ratio (BER) before channel decoding averaged over the reporting period of length of one SACCH multiframe defined in subclause 8.4 of 3GPP TS 05.08. The MS shall map this BER into RXQUAL values using the coding scheme defined in subclause 8.2.4 of 3GPP TS 05.08. For the half rate channel without downlink DTX, the error assessment is based on 52 TDMA frames: RXQUAL_FULL.
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	21.4.3.2 Conformance requirement	1. The received signal quality shall be measured by the MS in a manner that can be related to an equivalent average BER before channel decoding (i.e. chip error ratio), assessed over the reporting period of 1 SACCH multiframe. The assessed equivalent BER before channel decoding shall be mapped to the eight levels of RXQUAL using the coding scheme defined in subclause 8.2.4 of 3GPP TS 05.08 subclauses 8.2.2 and 8.2.4. 2. The reported parameters (RXQUAL) shall be the received signal quality, averaged over the reporting period of length one SACCH multiframe; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 8.2.3.
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	21.4.3.3 Test purpose	1. To verify, under TUhigh conditions, that the received signal quality is measured and reported to the eight levels of RXQUAL_FULL by the MS in a manner that can be related to an equivalent average BER before channel decoding (i.e. chip error ratio), assessed over the reporting period of length one SACCH multiframe for the TCH/AHS. The probability that the correct RXQUAL band is reported shall meet the values given by the table in 3GPP TS 05.08 subclause 8.2. 2. To verify that the reported parameters (RXQUAL) is the received signal quality, averaged over the reporting period of length one SACCH multiframe.

683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	21.4.3.4.1 Initial conditions	A call is set up according to the generic call set up procedure on a TCH/AHS with in the Mid ARFCN range, power control level set to maximum power. The RADIO_LINK_TIMEOUT parameter value is set to maximum. Specific PICS Statements: - PIXIT Statements: - Loop C delay Half rate The multirate configuration indicates the use of the following set of codecs modes: Codec Mode TCH/AHS in kbit/s CODEC_MODE_3 7.95 CODEC_MODE_2 6.7 CODEC_MODE_1 4,75 The Initial Codec mode (ICM) shall be set to the lowest codec mode (CODEC_MODE_1). The SS sends a CMC and CMI corresponding to the lowest codec mode (CODEC_MODE_1). The SS produces a wanted signal and an independent uncorrelated interfering (unwanted) signal, both with TUhigh propagation characteristics. The SS transmits the wanted signal (Standard Test Signal C1) on the traffic channel, with TUhigh propagation profile, at the nominal frequency of the receiver at a level of 28 dBVemf (-85 dBm). The unwanted signal is the standard test signal I1, on the same timeslot and on same ARFCN of the wanted signal. The SS commands the MS to establish the TCH burst-by-burst loop, see subclause 36.
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	21.4.3.4.2 Procedure	a) The SS sets the level of the unwanted signal such that the BER of the looped back bursts, averaged over the reporting period as defined in 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 8.4, is covered by one of the cases 1 to 13 of table 21.4.3.5. b) The SS verifies that the MS reports RXQUAL and whether or not the reported level is correct by comparison with the RXQUAL level of the corresponding looped back bursts. The SS increases a sample counter(i), and then an event counter(i) for each incorrect MS reported RXQUAL level, where (i) corresponds to the case determined by the BER of the looped back bursts (table 21.4.3.5). The SS shall take 10 samples. When sumi=0..14(sample counter(i)) = 550 the CMI shall be changed to indicate CODEC_MODE_2, and at 1100 CMI = CODEC_MODE_3. c) If the previous RXQUAL_n >= 6 the SS shall set the unwanted signal to a level that ensures SACCH bursts will be successfully received by the MS. The SS shall wait 7 SACCH multiframe periods. The SS shall reapply the unwanted signal, then wait 1 SACCH multiframe period 2 d) The SS shall increase the level of the unwanted signal in small steps1, after each level change repeating steps (b) and (c) until case 14 is reached. e) The SS shall decrease the level of the unwanted signal in small steps1, after each level change repeating step (b) and (c) until case 0 is reached. f) Steps d) and e) should be repeated until the total number of samples, sumi=0..14(sample counter(i)) is a minimum of 1650. g) The SS releases the call. 1 NOTE: It is intended that the small steps are ~0.2dB, however the accuracy and linearity of these steps is inconsequential to the outcome of the test. It is intended that the test will be performed over a range of C/I which are representative of the normal operational range of the MS. *2 NOTE: This special case for poor RF conditions is intended to ensure that the RADIO_LINK_TIMEOUT does not expire. The values have been selected to guarantee a net SACCH/T FER less than 62% (effective limit before failure ~67%). Maximum Duration of Test 14 minutes.

The MS has to map this filtered BEP into MEAN_BEP values in the table “MEAN_BEP mapping and accuracy for GMSK” in subclause 8.2.5 of 3GPP TS 45.008. The accuracy requirements in this table apply for static channel conditions for sensitivity limited operation for signal levels above the reference sensitivity level for the type of MS.

683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	21.8.3 Test purpose	To verify for EGPRS, under static channel conditions, that the BEP is measured and mapped to the MEAN_BEP values defined in subclause 8.2.5 of 3GPP TS 45.008 by the MS in a manner that can be related to an equivalent average BEP before channel decoding. The probability that the correct MEAN_BEP value is reported shall meet the values in the table “MEAN_BEP mapping and accuracy for GMSK” in subclause 8.2.5 of 3GPP TS 45.008.
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	21.8.4 Method of test	The SS compares the long-term BER average calculated by counting bit errors determined in EGPRS loop-back mode to a set of related MEAN_BEP values. The MEAN_BEP values correspond to the same MS-received bits that are looped-back for calculation of the long-term BER average (one-phase approach). For acquiring these MEAN_BEP values, the SS periodically opens the test loop for a short period of time to poll the MS for a measurement report. The testing of BEP accuracy is performed at 3 sample points inside the ranges given in table 21.8-2. Table 21.8-2: MEAN_BEP GMSK test intervals Interval Range of log10(actual BEP) Range of actual BEP [%] Range of expected MEAN_BEP High < -3.6 < 0.025 31 Mid -2.7 ... -2.1 0.2 ... 0.79 16 ... 21 Low -2.0 ... -1.5 1.0 ... 3.16 10 ... 14 NOTE 1: At the beginning of the test procedure, the forgetting factor “e” is set to 0.03. It is not changed any more since the SS does not know if signalling messages are correctly received unless the MS misses the commands to open or close the loop which the SS can easily detect and which requires a retransmission. NOTE 2: The MS is polled only after 150 radio blocks since only then the BEP contribution of the command to close the loop (which is not looped back) has decayed. NOTE 3: For acquisition of measurement reports, the test loop has to be opened for a short period of time. During that period, no data shall be received by the MS that is used for calculating MEAN_BEP estimates. NOTE 4: The above range of expected MEAN_BEP for intervals Mid and Low have been defined in a way that the accuracy requirements are the same for a given range.
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	21.8.4.1 Initial conditions	The SS produces a wanted signal and a white noise signal as an interferer (random signal) known as unwanted signal, both with static propagation characteristics. The SS transmits the wanted signal (standard test signal C1) on the PDTCH channel using the MCS-4 at the nominal frequency of the receiver and with a level of –82 dBm. The unwanted signal is the standard test signal I3, on the same nominal frequency. The MS is EGPRS capable and in the state "idle, GMM-registered" with a P-TMSI allocated.
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	21.8.4.2 Procedure	a) The unwanted signal is switched off and the forgetting factor “e” is set to 0.03. The SS orders the MS into the EGPRS Switched Radio Block Loopback Mode as specified in 3GPP TS 44.014 Section 5.5.1. The SS commands the MS into Radio Block Loopback Sub-mode: OFF. b) The SS commands the MS into Radio Block Loopback Sub-mode: ON. The SS sends 150 radio blocks to the MS. After these 150 radio blocks the SS commands the MS into Radio Block Loopback Sub-mode: OFF and polls the MS to send a measurement report. The SS starts sending data blocks with TFI not assigned to the DUT until it has received the measurement report. The SS stores the MEAN_BEP value reported by the MS and calculates (updates) the average BER of all looped back bits received so far. c) The SS repeats the procedure described in step b) for a total of 1640 times. d) The SS counts the number of MEAN_BEP values outside the expected MEAN_BEP interval corresponding to MEAN_BEP_31 and stores the result in error counter N_high. The BER calculation is reset. e) The SS commands the MS into Radio Block Loopback Sub-mode: ON, switches the noise signal on and raises the level of the unwanted signal until the BER of the looped back data is between 0.25% and 0.63% (calculated based on at least 100 bit errors), corresponding to the inner limits of MEAN_BEP_21 and MEAN_BEP_16, respectively. During the measurements the level of the unwanted signal shall be kept constant. f) The SS repeats the procedure described in step b) for a total of 820 times. g) The SS determines the expected MEAN_BEP interval corresponding to the average BER of all looped back bits using table 21.8-1. The SS determines the number of MEAN_BEP values outside this interval and stores the result in error counter N_mid. The BER calculation is reset. h) The SS commands the MS into Radio Block Loopback Sub-mode: ON and raises the level of the unwanted signal until the BER of the looped back data is between 1.26% and 2.51% (calculated based on at least 100 bit errors), corresponding to the inner limits of MEAN_BEP_14 and MEAN_BEP_10, respectively.

683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	21.9.3 Test purpose	To verify for EGPRS, under static channel conditions, that the BEP is measured and mapped to the MEAN_BEP values defined in subclause 8.2.5 of 3GPP TS 45.008 by the MS in a manner that can be related to an equivalent average BEP before channel decoding. The probability that the correct MEAN_BEP value is reported shall meet the values in the table “MEAN_BEP mapping and accuracy for 8PSK” in subclause 8.2.5 of 3GPP TS 45.008.
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	21.9.4 Method of test	The SS compares the long-term BER average calculated by counting bit errors determined in EGPRS loop-back mode to a set of related MEAN_BEP values. The MEAN_BEP values correspond to the same MS-received bits that are looped-back for calculation of the long-term BER average (one-phase approach). For acquiring these MEAN_BEP values, the SS periodically opens the test loop for a short period of time to poll the MS for a measurement report. The testing of BEP accuracy is performed at 3 sample points inside the ranges given in table 21.9-2. Table 21.9-2: MEAN_BEP 8PSK test intervals Interval Range of log10(actual BEP) Range of actual BEP [%] Range of expected MEAN_BEP High < -3.6 < 0.025 31 Mid -2.0 ... -1.36 1.0 ... 4.37 17 ... 20 Low -1.12 ... -0.88 7.59 ... 13.2 8 ... 13 NOTE 1: At the beginning of the test procedure, the forgetting factor “e” is set to 0.03. It is not changed any more since the SS does not know if signalling messages are correctly received unless the MS misses the commands to open or close the loop which the SS can easily detect and which requires a retransmission. NOTE 2: The MS is polled only after 150 radio blocks since only then the BEP contribution of the command to close the loop (which is not looped back) has decayed. NOTE 3: For acquisition of measurement reports, the test loop has to be opened for a short period of time. During that period, no data shall be received by the MS that is used for calculating MEAN_BEP estimates. NOTE 4: The above range of expected MEAN_BEP for intervals Mid and Low have been defined in a way that the accuracy requirements are the same for a given range.
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	21.9.4.1 Initial conditions	The SS produces a wanted signal and a white noise signal as an interferer (random signal) known as unwanted signal, both with static propagation characteristics. The SS transmits the wanted signal (standard test signal C1) on the PDTCH channel using the MCS-9 at the nominal frequency of the receiver and with a level of –82 dBm. The unwanted signal is the standard test signal I3, on the same nominal frequency. The MS is EGPRS capable and in the state "idle, GMM-registered" with a P-TMSI allocated.
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	21.9.4.2 Procedure	a) The unwanted signal is switched off and the forgetting factor “e” is set to 0.03. The SS orders the MS into the EGPRS Switched Radio Block Loopback Mode as specified in 3GPP TS 44.014 Section 5.5.1. The SS commands the MS into Radio Block Loopback Sub-mode: OFF. b) The SS commands the MS into Radio Block Loopback Sub-mode: ON. The SS sends 150 radio blocks to the MS. After these 150 radio blocks the SS commands the MS into Radio Block Loopback Sub-mode: OFF and polls the MS to send a measurement report. The SS starts sending data blocks with TFI not assigned to the DUT until it has received the measurement report. The SS stores the MEAN_BEP value reported by the MS and calculates (updates) the average BER of all looped back bits received so far. c) The SS repeats the procedure described in step b) for a total of 1640 times. d) The SS counts the number of MEAN_BEP values outside the expected MEAN_BEP interval corresponding to MEAN_BEP_31 and stores the result in error counter N_high. The BER calculation is reset. e) The SS commands the MS into Radio Block Loopback Sub-mode: ON, switches the noise signal on and raises the level of the unwanted signal until the BER of the looped back data is between 1.4% and 3% (calculated based on at least 100 bit errors), corresponding to the inner limits of MEAN_BEP_20 and MEAN_BEP_17, respectively. During the measurements the level of the unwanted signal shall be kept constant. f) The SS repeats the procedure described in step b) for a total of 3279 times. g) The SS determines the expected MEAN_BEP interval corresponding to the average BER of all looped back bits using table 21.9-1. The SS determines the number of MEAN_BEP values outside this interval and stores the result in error counter N_mid. The BER calculation is reset. h) The SS commands the MS into Radio Block Loopback Sub-mode: ON and raises the level of the unwanted signal until the BER of the looped back data is between 8.3% and 12% (calculated based on at least 100 bit errors), corresponding to the inner limits of MEAN_BEP_13 and MEAN_BEP_8, respectively. During the measurements the level of the unwanted signal shall be kept constant. i) The SS repeats the procedure described in step b) for a total of 820 times. j) The SS determines the expected MEAN_BEP interval corresponding to the average BER of all looped back bits using table 21.9-1. The SS determines the number of MEAN_BEP values outside this interval and stores the result in error counter N_low. Expected maximum test time for statistical error limit tests: 6h 40 min.

The number of error events determined in steps d), g) and j) stored in error counters N_high, N_mid and N_low shall not exceed 200 for each of the error counters.

The probability that the correct MEAN_BEP value is reported shall meet the values in the table “MEAN_BEP mapping and accuracy for 16-QAM” in subclause 10.2.3.3 of 3GPP TS 45.008. 21.11a.4 Method of test The SS compares the long-term BER average calculated by counting bit errors determined in EGPRS loop-back mode to a set of related MEAN_BEP values. The MEAN_BEP values correspond to the same MS-received bits that are looped-back for calculation of the long-term BER average (one-phase approach). For acquiring these MEAN_BEP values, the SS periodically opens the test loop for a short period of time to poll the MS for a measurement report. The testing of BEP accuracy is performed at 3 sample points inside the ranges given in table 21.11a-2. Table 21.11a-2: MEAN_BEP 16-QAM test intervals Interval Range of log10(actual BEP) Range of actual BEP [%] Range of expected MEAN_BEP High < -3.6 < 0.025 31 Mid -2.0 ... -1.36 1.0 ... 4.37 17 ... 20 Low -1.12 ... -0.88 7.59 ... 13.2 8 ... 13 NOTE 1: At the beginning of the test procedure, the forgetting factor “e” is set to 0.03. It is not changed any more since the SS does not know if signalling messages are correctly received unless the MS misses the commands to open or close the loop which the SS can easily detect and which requires a retransmission. NOTE 2: The MS is polled only after 150 radio blocks since only then the BEP contribution of the command to close the loop (which is not looped back) has decayed. NOTE 3: For acquisition of measurement reports, the test loop has to be opened for a short period of time. During that period, no data shall be received by the MS that is used for calculating MEAN_BEP estimates. NOTE 4: The above range of expected MEAN_BEP for intervals Mid and Low have been defined in a way that the accuracy requirements are the same for a given range. 21.11a.4.1 Initial conditions The SS produces a wanted signal and a white noise signal as an interferer (random signal) known as unwanted signal, both with static propagation characteristics. The SS transmits the wanted signal (standard test signal C1) on the PDTCH channel using the DAS-5-DAS-12 at the nominal frequency of the receiver and with a level of –82 dBm. The unwanted signal is the standard test signal I3, on the same nominal frequency. The MS is EGPRS2-A capable and in the state "idle, GMM-registered" with a P-TMSI allocated. 21.11a.4.2 Procedure a) The unwanted signal is switched off and the forgetting factor “e” is set to 0.03. The SS orders the MS into the EGPRS2-A Switched Radio Block Loopback Mode as specified in 3GPP TS 44.014 Section 5.5.6. The SS commands the MS into Radio Block Loopback Sub-mode: OFF. b) The SS commands the MS into Radio Block Loopback Sub-mode: ON. The SS sends 150 radio blocks to the MS. After these 150 radio blocks the SS commands the MS into Radio Block Loopback Sub-mode: OFF and polls the MS to send a measurement report. The SS starts sending data blocks with TFI not assigned to the DUT until it has received the measurement report. The SS stores the MEAN_BEP value reported by the MS and calculates (updates) the average BER of all looped back bits received so far. c) The SS repeats the procedure described in step b) for a total of 1640 times. d) The SS counts the number of MEAN_BEP values outside the expected MEAN_BEP interval corresponding to MEAN_BEP_31 and stores the result in error counter N_high. The BER calculation is reset. e) The SS commands the MS into Radio Block Loopback Sub-mode: ON, switches the noise signal on and raises the level of the unwanted signal until the BER of the looped back data is between 1.4% and 3% (calculated based on at least 100 bit errors), corresponding to the inner limits of MEAN_BEP_20 and MEAN_BEP_17, respectively. During the measurements the level of the unwanted signal shall be kept constant. f) The SS repeats the procedure described in step b) for a total of 1640 times. g) The SS determines the expected MEAN_BEP interval corresponding to the average BER of all looped back bits using table 21.11a-1. The SS determines the number of MEAN_BEP values outside this interval and stores the result in error counter N_mid. The BER calculation is reset. h) The SS commands the MS into Radio Block Loopback Sub-mode: ON and raises the level of the unwanted signal until the BER of the looped back data is between 8.3% and 12% (calculated based on at least 100 bit errors), corresponding to the inner limits of MEAN_BEP_13 and MEAN_BEP_8, respectively. During the measurements the level of the unwanted signal shall be kept constant. i) The SS repeats the procedure described in step b) for a total of 1640 times. j) The SS determines the expected MEAN_BEP interval corresponding to the average BER of all looped back bits using table 21.11a-1. The SS determines the number of MEAN_BEP values outside this interval and stores the result in error counter N_low. Expected maximum test time for statistical error limit tests: 5h 45 min. 21.11a.5 Test requirements Testing of the conformance requirement can be done either with fixed minimum number of samples or based on the statistical test method that could lead to an early pass/fail decision with test time significantly reduced for a MS not on the limit. 21.11a.5.1 Fixed limit test with minimum number of samples The fixed testing of the conformance requirement is done using the minimum number of samples and the limit error rate given in table 21.11a-3. The number of error events determined in steps d), g) and j) stored in error counters N_high, N_mid and N_low shall not exceed the error event limit as defined in Table 21.11a-3 for each of the error counters.

683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	21.13.3 Test purpose	To verify for VAMOS I/II/III, under static channel conditions, that the BEP is measured and mapped to the MEAN_BEP values defined in subclause 8.2.5 of 3GPP TS 45.008 by the MS in a manner that can be related to an equivalent average BEP before channel decoding. The probability that the correct MEAN_BEP value is reported shall meet the values in the table “MEAN_BEP mapping and accuracy for AQPSK (for VAMOS I, VAMOS II and VAMOS III MS)” in sub clause 8.2.5 of 3GPP TS 45.008.
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	21.13.4 Method of test	The SS compares the long term BER average calculated by counting bit errors determined in loop-back type C mode over a SACCH multi frame period to a set of related MEAN_BEP values. The MEAN_BEP values correspond to the same MS received bits that are looped-back for calculation of the long-term BER average (one-phase approach). For acquiring these MEAN_BEP values, MS will report MEAN BEP in Enhanced Measurement Report for every SACCH multi-frame period. The testing of BEP accuracy is performed at 4 sample points inside the ranges given in table 21.13.4-1. Table 21.13.4-1: MEAN_BEP AQPSK test intervals Interval Range of log10(actual BEP) Range of actual BEP [%] Range of expected MEAN_BEP High < -3.6 < 0.025 31 Mid_High -3.2…-2.8 0.0631…0.158 23-26 Mid_low -2.7 ... -2.1 0.2 ... 0.79 16 ... 21 Low -2.0 ... -1.5 1.0 ... 3.16 10 ... 14 NOTE 1: The above range of expected MEAN_BEP for intervals Mid and Low have been defined in a way that the accuracy requirements are the same for a given range.

The SCPIR_DL is set to +4 dB. The SS transmits a white noise signal as an interferer (random signal) known as unwanted signal. The unwanted signal is the standard test signal I3 as specified in TS 51.010 annex 5.2, on the same nominal frequency. Both wanted and unwanted signal contains static propagation characteristics. RADIO_LINK_TIMEOUT is set to maximum. Specific PICS Statements: - VAMOS I supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type1) - VAMOS II supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type2) - VAMOS III supported (TSPC_VAMOS_Type3) For MS indicating VAMOS III support, connect the SS to the MS antenna connectors according to Annex A1.1.6.2.

The SS determines the number of MEAN_BEP values outside of these intervals and stores the result in error counter N_mid_low. The BER calculation is reset. i) The SS commands the MS traffic channel loop back signalling Type C: ON, switches the noise signal on and raises the level of the unwanted signal until the BER of the looped back data is between 1.0% and 3.16% (calculated based on at least 100 bit errors), corresponding to the inner limits of MEAN_BEP_14 and MEAN_BEP_10, respectively. During the measurements the level of the unwanted signal shall be kept constant. j) The SS repeats the procedure described in step a). k) The SS determines the expected MEAN_BEP interval corresponding to each BER of all looped back bits using table “MEAN_BEP mapping and accuracy for AQPSK (for VAMOS I, VAMOS II and VAMOS III MS)” in subclause 8.2.5 of 3GPP TS 45.008. The SS determines the number of MEAN_BEP values outside of these intervals and stores the result in error counter N_low. l) The SS repeats step a) to k) with SCPIR_DL values 0 dB and -4 dB. m) If the MS signals VAMOS II or VAMOS III support step a) to k) shall be repeated with SCPIR_DL values -8 dB and -10 dB.

683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	22.3 GPRS Uplink Power Control - Use of  and CH parameters
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	22.3.1 Definition	Power control is important for spectrum efficiency as well as for power consumption in a cellular system. Power control for a packet oriented connection is more complicated than for a circuit switched connection, since there is no continuous two-way connection. The RF output power, PCH , to be employed by the MS on each individual uplink PDCH shall be: PCH = min(0 - CH -   (C + 48), PMAX), Where: CH is an MS and channel specific power control parameter, sent to the MS in an RLC control message (see 3GPP TS 04.60). 0 = 36 dBm for DCS 1 800 and PCS 1900 = 39 dBm for all other bands.  is a system parameter, broadcast on PBCCH or optionally sent to MS in an RLC control message (see 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 24.008 and 3GPP TS 04.60). C is the normalised received signal level at the MS as defined in 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 10.2.3.1. PMAX is the maximum allowed output power in the cell = GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH if PBCCH exists MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH otherwise All power values are expressed in dBm. (Note that the constants 0 and 48 are included only for optimising the coding of CH and C-value). This is a flexible tool that can be used for different power control algorithms. A pure open loop is achieved by setting  = 1 and keeping CH constant. With this method the output power is based on the received signal level assuming the same path loss in uplink and downlink. This is useful in the beginning of a packet transmission. A pure closed loop is achieved by setting  = 0. With this method the output power is commanded by the network based on received signal level measurements made in the BTS in a similar way as for a circuit switched connection.
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	22.3.2 Conformance requirement	The MS shall use the same output power on all four bursts within one radio block. 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 10.2.1. If a calculated output power is not supported by the MS, the MS shall use the supported output power which is closest to the calculated output power. 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 10.2.1. When the MS receives new CH or  values, the MS shall use the new value to update PCH 2 radio blocks after the end of the frame containing the last timeslot of the message block containing the new value. 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 10.2.1. The transmitted power shall be a monotonic function of the calculated output power and any change of 2 dB in the calculated value shall correspond to a change of 2 1,5 dB in the transmitted value. The MS may round the calculated output power to the nearest nominal output power value. 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 10.2.1.
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	22.3.3 Test purpose	To verify the MS uses that the same output power on all four bursts of a radio block under normal conditions. To verify that the highest power supported by the MS is used if the calculated power is greater. To verify that the MS applies new CH or  values 2 radio blocks after the end of the frame containing the last timeslot of the message block containing the new value. To verify that any change of 2 dB in the calculated power corresponds to a change of 2 1,5 dB in the transmitted value under normal conditions. NOTE: For changes in calculated power which are less than the tolerances specified for absolute power accuracy in a MS, the transmitted power as a function of calculated power cannot be tested for monotonicity. Monotonicity between power control steps is implicitly tested in subclause 13.16.
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	22.3.4 Method of test
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	22.3.4.1 Initial conditions	The SS establishes a BCCH, and optionally a PBCCH on the same carrier, in the mid ARFCN range. GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH is set to the maximum level (39 dBm for GSM and 36 dBm for DCS and PCS). The CH value is set such that (0 - CH) equals the maximum power control level supported by the Power Class of the MS under test. The  value is set to 0. The SS establishes a downlink TBF on the same ARFCN as the BCCH and PBCCH, and send data blocks to poll the MS for channel quality reports. The downlink power level is adjusted until a stable RXLEV-value of 58 is reported by the MS in the channel quality report (see 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 8.1.4 and 10.2.3) – corresponding to a used C value in the range of -52dBm to -53dBm. MS shall transmit on the uplink. This is achieved using the GPRS test mode by transmitting a GPRS_TEST_MODE_CMD (see 3GPP TS 04.14, subclause 5.4).
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	22.3.4.2 Procedure	a) The SS shall trigger a transmitter output power measurement on each of the four bursts of any radio block. The method of power measurement is described in subclause 13.16. b) The SS shall modify the CH value such that (0 - CH) equals the minimum power control level supported by the MS under test (0dBm for DCS 1 800 and PCS 1 900 and 5dBm for all other bands). If the transmission of the RLC control message containing the new CH value is completed in radio block N, the SS shall trigger a transmitter output power measurement on each of the four bursts of radio block N+3. c) The SS shall modify the CH value such that (0 - CH) equals the maximum power control level supported by the power class of the MS under test. If the transmission of the RLC control message containing the new CH value is completed in radio block N, the SS shall trigger a transmitter output power measurement on each of the four bursts of radio block N+3. d) The SS shall modify the CH value such that (0 - CH) equals the value 5dB below the maximum power control level supported by the power class of the MS under test. The  value is set to 1. e) The SS shall decrement the  value with a step size of 0.1 until  equals 0. For each step change in  value, if the transmission of the RLC control message containing the new  value is completed in radio block N, the SS shall trigger a transmitter output power measurement on each of the four bursts of radio block N+3. f) For each value of , the SS shall note the maximum and minimum power values measured from the four bursts of the radio block in step e). The SS shall then calculate the maximum and minimum changes in output power measured for the following two sets of pairs of  values, set1: 1.0 and 0.5; 0.9 and 0.4; 0.8 and 0.3; 0.7 and 0.2; 0.6 and 0.1; 0.5 and 0, set2: 1.0 and 0.6; 0.9 and 0.5; 0.8 and 0.4; 0.7 and 0.3; 0.6 and 0.2; 0.5 and 0.1; 0.4 and 0.0. The maximum change is calculated by subtracting the minimum power measured from the smaller value of  from the maximum power measured for the larger value of . The minimum step change is calculated by subtracting the maximum power measured from the smaller value of  from the minimum power measured for the larger value of .

For each step change in  value, if the transmission of the RLC control message containing the new  value is completed in radio block N, the SS shall trigger a transmitter output power measurement on each of the four bursts of radio block N+3. l) For each value of , the SS shall note the maximum and minimum power values measured from the four bursts of the radio block in step k).

683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	22.7.1 Definition	Using the SACCH L1 header, normal uplink power control modifies the MS transmit power at a maximum rate of one power control level change per SACCH period (480ms). Under Fast Power Control the output power of an MS, in E‑TCH mode, is updated each fast power reporting period. There are 24 fast power reporting periods in a 104 frame SACCH period.
683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	22.7.2 Test conformance	1. In the E-TCH mode, the MS shall, if so indicated by the BSS in the SACCH L1 header or Assignment command, use FPC (fast power control); 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 4.2 2. Switching between the normal power control mechanism and FPC shall be done if FPC is enabled or disabled via signalling in the SACCH L1 header. The respective power control mechanism to be used shall then be active as from the first TDMA frame belonging to the next reporting period; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 4.7 3. The initial power control level to be used by the MS immediately after switching between normal and fast power control mechanisms shall, in both cases, be the level last commanded by the normal power control mechanism; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 4.7 4. The fast power control mechanism shall use the differential power control mechanism defined in the table of 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 4.3 5. The MS shall employ the most recently commanded fast power control level on each uplink E-TCH channel; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 4.2 6. If a power control command is received but the requested output power is not supported by the MS, the MS shall use the supported output power which is closest to the requested output power; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 4.3 7. If FPC is in use, the MS shall report, in the SACCH L1 header, the power control level used at the end of the normal power control reporting period; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 4.2 8. In case of a multislot configuration, each bi‑directional channel shall be power controlled individually by the corresponding SACCH or fast inband signalling link, whichever is applicable; 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 4.2

683b5b8a98f7b1390ddd5516ea9247a2	51.010-1	22.8.1 Definition	Power control is important for spectrum efficiency as well as for power consumption in a cellular system. Power control for a packet oriented connection is more complicated than for a circuit switched connection, since there is no continuous two-way connection. The RF output power, PCH , to be employed by the MS on each individual uplink PDCH shall be: PCH = min(0 - CH -   (C + 48), PMAX), Where: CH is an MS and channel specific power control parameter, sent to the MS in an RLC control message (see 3GPP TS 04.60). 0 = 36 dBm for DCS 1 800 and PCS 1 900 = 39 dBm for all other bands.  is a system parameter, broadcast on PBCCH or optionally sent to MS in an RLC control message (see 3GPP TS 04.08 / 3GPP TS 24.008 and 3GPP TS 04.60). C is the normalised received signal level at the MS as defined in 3GPP TS 05.08, subclause 10.2.3.1. PMAX is the maximum allowed output power in the cell = GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH if PBCCH exists MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH otherwise. All power values are expressed in dBm. (Note that the constants 0 and 48 are included only for optimising the coding of CH and C-value). This is a flexible tool that can be used for different power control algorithms. A pure open loop is achieved by setting  = 1 and keeping CH constant. With this method the output power is based on the received signal level assuming the same path loss in uplink and downlink. This is useful in the beginning of a packet transmission. A pure closed loop is achieved by setting  = 0. With this method the output power is commanded by the network based on received signal level measurements made in the BTS in a similar way as for a circuit switched connection.
