Agilent Technologies E8285A Expected PN Offset, Queries the expected PN Offset value for Sector a

Chapter 4, Description of Fields

Fields

Expected PN Offset

The values displayed in this column are the current Sector A and Sector B pilot PN Offsets. The mobile station should report pilot PN Offset values for each of its Active or Candidate set pilots whenever level thresholds are crossed that might indicate a change in pilot status. The mobile reported PN Offset values should exactly match one of the Expected PN Offset values, depending on the reported pilot (Sector A or Sector B).

GPIB Example

“DISP CGEN;CDMA:CELL:ASECtor:PNOFfset?“

queries the expected PN Offset value for Sector A.

Operating Considerations

A Pilot Strength Message, which includes each detected pilot’s PN Offset, is sent from the mobile station when a Softer Handoff is executed, ended, or when the mobile station detects a change in pilot levels that could affect the assignment of pilots to the mobile station’s Active, Candidate, or Neighbor sets (refer to the CDMA Mobile Reporting table at the top of the display). The actual mobile- reported values for PN Offset in the CDMA Mobile Reporting table at the top of the display should exactly match the values for Expected PN Offset.
