Agilent Technologies E4438C manual MCS-9 uplink and downlink, E-TCH/F43.2, As defined in GSM 04.60

Specifications for Signal Personality Characteristics

EDGE/EGPRS

[real-time mode] [Option 402]

Multiframe output data generation

	Coding scheme	MCS-1: uplink and downlink, MCS-5: uplink and downlink,
		MCS-9: uplink and downlink, E-TCH/F43.2
	Data	PN9 or PN15
		The selected data sequence is fully coded
		continuously across the RLC data blocks according to
		MCS-1, MCS-5, MCS-9 or E-TCH/F43.2. An independent
		version of the selected data sequence is coded across the
		unused RLC/MAC header fields [The CPS header field is
		as defined in GSM 04.60 V8.50].
	Frame structure	52-frame multi-frame structure for EDGE/EGPRS channel
		as per ETSI TS 100 909, 3GPP TS 05.03, V8.9.0, 2000-11
		[release 1999]. [Coding is done on frames 0-11, 13-24,
		26-37, 39-50 on a 52 PDCH multi-frame. Frame 25 and
		51 are idle [RF blanked].]
	Adjacent timeslots
	Data	Coded MCS-1, MCS-5 or MCS-9 with continuous PN9 or
		PN15 sequence data payload.
		Uncoded PN9, PN15.
		Note: Maximum of 4 timeslots can be turned on with
		EDGE/EGPRS multi-frame coded data.
	Frame structure	EDGE/EGPRS PDCH multi-frame.
		Repeating EDGE frame.
Multiframe measurements1
	EDGE measurement modes
	Static sensitivity	BER/BLER at user-specified power level measured;
		based on bit errors in total unencoded data, and block
		errors in coded channels.
	Sensitivity search	Automatically finds the input level [sensitivity] that causes
	BER/BLER	user-specified BER [uncoded] or BER [coded].
	EDGE measurement results	Erased data block count/rate for coded channel
		[MCS-1, MCS-5 or MCS-9].
		Total data block count for coded channel
		[MCS-1, MCS-5 or MCS-9].
		Payload bit error count/rate for raw BER.
		Total burst count for raw BER. Data block count which
		contains residual bit errors and bit error count.
		Downlink error reporting

1. Measurements also require Option 300.
