Power Step Limits
During a random access procedure the UE is expected to transmit RACH preambles at
increasing power until the Node B sends an ACK on the AICH or until the maximum
number of preambles within one cycle is exceeded.
In the configuration dialog you can specify the expected step size and a symmetrical
tolerance value. The limit applies to all preamble steps. Exception: If the preamble
power exceeds the nominal maximum power plus the lower limit (see
on page 852), no limit check is applied to the related
steps.
When the combined signal path scenario is active, the expected step size parameter
("Preamble Power Steps") is controlled by the signaling application.
The expected step size "Preamble Power Steps" is also used to calculate the expected
preamble power and to adapt the expected nominal power internally during the pream-
ble cycle.
Please note that 3GPP TS 34.121 specifies no test requirement for the accuracy of the
preamble power step size. But the minimum requirements section 5.5.2 "Transmit
ON/OFF Time Mask" contains a reference to 3GPP TS 25.101, section 6.5.2.1 and a
table of power step size tolerances.
