TEST_40 - CPD Softer Handoff
NOTE
This test will only run on the Agilent 8924C test set. It will not run on
the Agilent 8924E test set because that unit does not include a Sector B
source.
Description
This test measures the MSUT’s ability to correctly detect Neighbor Set
pilots and Candidate Set pilots.
Settings for mobile-reporting parameters include T_ADD, T_DROP and
T_TDROP. These values are converted to signal strength by the
following equation: P*-0.5 dB, where P is the mobile-reporting
parameter. For example, T_ADD is set to 28, the threshold for
mobile-station detection of a Neighbor Set pilot is 28 *-0.5 dB = -14 dB.
This test is performed as follows:
1. A Service Option 2 (or 9 if parameter 19. RT Rate Set Selection
[0=9600 1=14400] is set to 1) call is attempted, unless a Service
Option 2 or 9 call is already connected. If the MSUT has not
registered, the call attempt may be unsuccessful and the error
message “Failed to establish a call in test <>” will be displayed. To
correct this problem, perform the CPD Registration test.
2. The power levels for Sector A and Sector B pilots, and the mobile
reporting parameters T_ADD and T_DROP, and T_TDROP are set
up. Sector B is set to a power level much less than T_ADD
(Ior/Ioc-10dB) insuring that it is detected as a drop.
3. The Sector B pilot strength is gradually increased until the mobile
station detects signal strength greater than T_ADD. The Sector A
and Sector B signal strength settings (Ec/Io) are displayed, along
with the mobile-reported signal strength and the handoff Sector B
Ec/Io compared to T_ADD.
4. The Sector B pilot strength is increased further until the mobile
station detects that it has exceeded T_COMP. Once again, the Sector
A and Sector B signal strength settings are displayed, along with the
mobile-reported pilot signal strengths and whether T_COMP was
detected correctly.
5. A Softer Handoff is attempted, and an indication whether it was
successful is displayed.
