5.3.2 Parameters that Do Not Apply

The following parameters have no effect on the MCSC system. There is no

functional equivalent in the MCSC system, and as such the parameters can be

ignored.

A. combinerType

This parameter specifies the type of combiner used to connect the cells Base

Radios to the antenna. The options are hybrid and cavity. The MCSC system is

similar to a cavity type combiner physically but it does not have the same

frequency limitations as the cavity combiner that this parameter is used for.

5.3.3 Recommended Datafill Parameters

The following parameters need to be set differently than what is currently set with

Motorola BR. These settings are not required but recommended for best

operation.

A. PCC

The power control constant is broadcast on the BCCH and is used by the MS

to calculate a target value for its transmit power. For Indoor Pico and Micro-Cell

applications this value will vary depending upon the RF environment (i.e., if

used outdoors the value will be quite different from an indoor scenario). For the

MCSC system, the setting of this parameter depends on what is connected

between the MCSC system and the antenna. The default value should be

calculated in accordance with Motorola guidance detailed in the Datafill

Parameter Guide. Lowering this parameter forces the mobile to operate at

fairly low Tx level thus conserving battery life. In cases where the MCSC

system is connected to a DAS, the gains and losses of the paths should be

taken into consideration. Additionally the level of uplink interference should be

considered when determining this value.

B. Pto (transmit power)

The Cells outbound transmit power referenced at the output of the RF

Distribution System Antenna Port. It is used as a reference point value when

computing the link budget of the system. RadioFrame Networks recommends

that the value of this parameter be set appropriate to the TOR output power,

which is determined by the defaultTxPower parameter (see below).

5.3.4 rxTxGain = 0

This parameter is the difference in gain between the receiver and transmit

antenna paths expressed in dB. The MCSC system does not use this parameter

directly.
