This Information Element provides channel quality report information which may include UFPS, carrier or timeslot based measurement information for a mobile station in a DLMC configuration. The information to be included within this IE depends on the setting of the ES/P field and CES/P field (see sub-clause 9.1.8.2.1), the most recently received LINK_QUALITY_MEASUREMENT_MODE field (see sub-clause 11.2.7) and the most recently received DLMC Measurement Type field (see sub-clause 11.2.7).

Table 12.66.2: DLMC Channel Quality Report information element details
DLMC Interference Measurements These information elements provide interference measurement information for a MS in a DLMC configuration. The MS provides this information for the downlink carrier indicated by the assignment message or the lowest numbered downlink carrier if carrier information for interference measurements is not provided by the assignment message. |
C_VALUE If the parameter PC_MEAS_CHAN (see sub-clause 12.9) indicates downlink measurements for power control shall be made on BCCH, a single instance of this field shall be reported using BCCH Carrier measurements (see 3GPP TS 45.008 [15] regarding C_VALUE determination). If PC_MEAS_CHAN indicates that the downlink measurements for power control shall be made on PDCH, a single instance of this field shall be reported for the carrier/UFPS on which the MS was polled. |
DLMC BEP Link Quality Measurements If the DLMC Measurement Type field (see sub-clause 11.2.7) in the last received assignment message indicates measurement information is to be reported on a per UFPS basis the measurements are reported starting with the UFPS on which the MS was polled followed by additional higher numbered UFPS (if any) beginning with the next in sequence UFPS. If the DLMC Measurement Type field (see sub-clause 11.2.7) in the last received assignment message indicates measurement information is to be reported on a per carrier basis the measurements are reported starting with the carrier on which the MS was polled followed by additional higher numbered carriers (if any) beginning with the next in sequence carrier. The number of UFPS/carriers reported is determined by the space available in the reporting message (see sub-clause 9.1.8.2.1). If RLC/MAC blocks have not been received on a given UFPS/carrier since the last reporting period it shall still be listed in but no measurement results shall be included. |
DLMC BEP_MEASUREMENTS This field is included when the DLMC Measurement Type field (see sub-clause 11.2.7) in the last received assignment message indicates measurement information is to be reported on a per carrier basis and the LINK_QUALITY_MEASUREMNT_MODE field (see sub-clause 11.2.7) received in the same assignment message indicates the mobile station shall report the mean BEP on each assigned time slot. When included it only provides information for each timeslot assigned to the carrier on which the MS was polled. |
I_LEVEL_TN0 (4 bit field) I_LEVEL_TN1 (4 bit field) I_LEVEL_TN2 (4 bit field) I_LEVEL_TN3 (4 bit field) I_LEVEL_TN4 (4 bit field) I_LEVEL_TN5 (4 bit field) I_LEVEL_TN6 (4 bit field) I_LEVEL_TN7 (4 bit field) These fields contain the value calculated on timeslots 0 through 7, respectively. The value is defined in 3GPP TS 45.008. These fields are encoded relative to the applicable C_VALUE (see C_VALUE field description above) as defined for the mapping defined in 3GPP TS 45.008 [15] for interference level (I_LEVEL): bit 4 3 2 1 0 0 0 0 I_LEVEL 0 0 0 0 1 I_LEVEL 1 … 1 1 1 0 I_LEVEL 14 1 1 1 1 I_LEVEL 15 |
GMSK_MEAN_BEP (5 bit field) These fields contain the mean value of the Bit Error Probability of the channel averaged over all timeslots in the UFPS for the relevant modulation scheme, refer to 3GPP TS 45.008 [15]. |
GMSK_CV_BEP (3 bit field) These fields contain the variation coefficient for the Bit Error Probability averaged over all timeslots of the UFPS for the relevant modulation scheme, refer to 3GPP TS 45.008 [15]. |
REPORTED_MODULATION (2 bit field) The mobile station shall report the modulation scheme (indicated using the REPORTED_MODULATION field) with which it has received the largest number of blocks since the last report and shall report the MEAN_BEP_TNx of that modulation scheme (see 3GPP TS 45.008). The mapping of the modulation scheme is as follows. bit 2 1 0 0 GMSK 0 1 8PSK 1 0 16QAM 1 1 32QAM |
MEAN_BEP_TN0 (4 bit field) These fields contain the mean bit error probability value calculated on timeslots 0 through 7 for the modulation scheme indicated using the REPORTED_MODULATION field. For the calculation of the mean bit error probability, refer to 3GPP TS 45.008. These fields are transferred only when the mobile station is in packet transfer mode. In RTTI configuration, the mean bit error probability value calculated on per timeslot pair shall be reported on MODULATION_1 _MEAN_BEP_TNx /MODULATION_2 _MEAN_BEP_TNx where TNx is the lower numbered timeslot of each reported timeslot pair. |
