Channel Measurements
The RBS supports:
•
Active Channel Measurements, that is. quality and signal strength
measurements on active uplink dedicated channels.
•
Idle Channel Measurements, that is. signal strength measurements
on idle uplink dedicated channels.

Concepts
RX Reference Point
Defined as the point where the RX antenna
signal crosses the RBS border, that is the
connector for the antenna feeder.
Reporting Period
TDMA frames used for measurements, as
defined in /GSM 05.08:8.4/.
RXLEV
Measure of signal strength as defined in /
GSM 05.08:8.1.4/.
RXLEV_FULL
RXLEV measured over a whole SACCH
multiframe.
RXLEV_SUB
RXLEV measured over a subset of a
SACCH multiframe.
RXQUAL
Measure of signal quality as defined in /
GSM 05.08:8.2.4/.
RXQUAL_FULL
RXQUAL measured over a whole
SACCH multiframe.
RXQUAL_SUB
RXQUAL measured over a subset of a
SACCH multiframe.

Functions

Active Channel Measurements
By means of the basic measurement reporting procedure /
GSM:08.58:4.5.1/, the RBS performs quality and signal strength
measurements on all active uplink dedicated channels. Measurements
on channel combinations, (i), (ii), (v) and (vii) are supported, /
GSM:05.02:6.4/.
