Auxiliary Pilot Channel Gain

Last updated: November 10, 2006

This section is only applicable to the lab application and to a test application with the required feature license.

When the test set is in the Active Cell operating mode or IS-856 Test operating mode with Protocol Rel set to the A (1xEV-DO-A) and Release A Physical Layer Subtype set to the Subtype 2, the Auxiliary Pilot Channel Gain sets the power of the R-Auxiliary Pilot channel relative to the power of the R-Data channel (-15 to 0 dB, in 1 dB step). It is used by the AT to compute the transmit power of the R-Aux Pilot channel if transmitted. To determine when the R-Aux Pilot channel is transmitted, see Auxiliary Pilot Channel Min Payload .

The Auxiliary Pilot Channel Gain is a "Configurable Attribute" that is used to set part of the AuxiliaryPilotChannelParameters attribute for the Subtype 3 Reverse Traffic Channel MAC Protocol. It is negotiated with the AT during session negotiation. When a session is open, changing the Auxiliary Pilot Channel Gain results in a session re-negotiation. See Session Negotiate State for details.
