1 5 Power Control Measurement

This measurement type registers information on how the BSC controls the
power level and signal quality of the mobile station (MS) and the base
transceiver station (BTS). It allows the user to obtain information on the
number of power control messages which the BSC sends to the MS and
the BTS, and on the quality and strength of the signals both in uplink and
downlink direction. This measurement collects one set of results for each
TRX.
A TRX–level object is a combination of BTS, TRX, and radio frequency

numbers. Exceeding the maximum number of objects, for example, radio
network configuration changes within a measurement period, causes
missed counter updates and the “STATISTICS: too much objects” log
writing to the MCMU log.
The counters of this measurement are updated both on TCH and on

SDCCH.

0 -> Pmax - 0 dBm
1 -> Pmax - 2 dBm
2 -> Pmax - 4 dBm
...
15 -> Pmax - 30 dBm.
If Pmax is 43 dBm, then the value 0 means 43 dBm and the value 15 means 13 dBm.
The average TRX specific downlink RF power level used in the cell can be calculated by dividing this
counter with the denominator counter 005035 AVERAGE SAIC BS POWER DENOMINATOR.
Updated: The RF power level value is sampled every 20 seconds during a call.
