The following remarks have to be made to this equation:
1. The S-value describes the signals to be transmitted by the system
while all active internal TPEs and all connected external TPEs are
in the guard-state (quiescent state).
2. Regarding the TPEs, the weights of the guard signals have to be
used.
3. A correction term w
corr
has to be added as explained later in section
5.2.16.2. Considering its effect on the S-value, this term can be
interpreted as an additional signal, which is however physically not
present.

5.2.12. Weight of the MOD600 signal
For a high datarate, the DPLC service needs a high SNR of 30 dB or
more. Thus a high weight should be given to the MOD600 signal. As a
consequence, most of the RF power would be given to the MOD600
signal, so that only little power would be left for the APLC signals,
resulting in low performance of the analog services. This problem is
avoided by specifying the MOD600 weight such that the level of the
MOD600 signal is always a fixed number of dB below the available RF
power. This leads to the following formula for the MOD600 signal
weight:
