Parameter for code domain power measurements 
TRACE1 | PWCDp | CWCDp | CTABle 
Transmitted values for code domain power measurements 
The transmitted values depend on the parameter selection.  
Value Description  Range Unit 
<code class>  code class of the channel 
–1 indicates that the channel does not have a code class 
(e.g. for PSCH) 
{–1, 2 ... 9}   
<class>  spreading factor of the channel 
code class 9 corresponds to the highest spreading factor 
(512, symbol rate 7.5 ksps), code class 2 to the lowest 
admissible spreading factor (4, symbol rate 960 ksps) 
–1 indicates that the channel does not have a valid 
spreading factor (e.g. for PSCH) 
 
<channel number>  code number of the channel 
–1 indicates that the channel does not have a regular 
channel number (e.g. for PSCH) 
 
<absolute level>  absolute level of the code channel at the selected channel 
slot 
{–
... 
}
dBm 
<relative level>  relative level of the code channel at the selected channel 
slot referenced to CPICH or total power 
{–
... 
}
dB  
<timing offset>  timing offset of the code channel to the frame start 
step width is 256 chips for code class 2 to 8,  
512 chips for code class 9 
{0 ... 38400}  chips 
<pilot length>  pilot length of the code channel 
According to the 3GPP standard, the pilot length range 
depends on the code class. 
{0,2,4,8,16} symbols 
<active flag>  Flag to indicate whether a channel is active (1) or  
not active (0)
