4.6 Data, Control and Monitoring Paths
This section describes the types of data and the methods used to move the
data around a TB8100 BSS. Refer to Figure 4.13 on page 71 for more
information.
The reciter RISC is the central command and control entity in a base station
system. As such it will often command modules to change state, based on
the information received in a module poll message reply. Messages from the
reciter over the I
2
C bus can control actions in the PA and PMU hardware,
such as changing Hysteresis mode in the PMU based on the current status
of any active power cycling modes, or reading the ambient temperature via
the PA module.
