The error is calculated on a burst by burst basis from the adaptive equalization filter coefficients. The reporting period for burst timing error is approximately 0.5 seconds, and the value returned is the peak timing error occurring during the period. Note that this report is not based on a demodulated midamble position.

This query returns the burst timing error report which provides a course indication of the difference between the expected and the actual of the access burst for the PRACH. The timing error is calculated on a burst by burst basis with accuracy of 0.124 symbol period and is only valid when call status is idle or setup.

This indicates the worst case timing error of all bursts received in a reporting period. If all of the bursts reporting in a period are missing, the query returns 9.91E+37 (NAN).

   
NOTE
For access burst timing error measurement, the result is always presented even if the error is 0. This behavior is different with the normal burst timing error which only present the peak timing error value.

   

The PRACH timing error is used in the uplink direction only by MS to perform the followings:

  • Initiating a call - when the MS originates a call, it transmits a Channel Request message in the PRACH.
  • Responding to a page request - when the MS receives a Paging Request message, it begins the immediate assignment procedure by sending the Channel Request Message in the PRACH.
  • Performing a location update - this is a mobile-initiated procedure which happens when the MS is switched on or the MS defects a new Location Area or the Periodic Timer expires. The MS performs the location update by sending the Channel Request message using the PRACH channel.
