OCNS interference consists of 16 dedicated data channels as specified in table C.6. |
NOTE 1 For dynamic power correction required to compensate for the presence of transient channels, e.g. control channels, a subset of the DPCH channels may be used.
C.3.3 Connection with open-loop transmit diversity mode
Table C.4 is applicable for measurements for subclause 8.6.1 (Demodulation of DCH in open loop transmit diversity mode).

Note 1: The relative level setting specified in dB refers only to the relationship between the OCNS channels. The level of the OCNS channels relative to the Ior of the complete signal is a function of the power of the other channels in the signal with the intention that the power of the group of OCNS channels is used to make the total signal add up to 1. Note 2: The DPCH Channelization Codes and relative level settings are chosen to simulate a signal with realistic Peak to Average Ratio. Note 3: For MBSFN, the group of OCNS channels represent orthogonal S-CCPCH channels instead of DPCH. Transmit diversity is not applicable to MBSFN which excludes STTD. |
