The Node B and UE parameter subsystems
These subsystems allow access to the node B parameters (i.e. the 4400 simu-
lating a node B) and to the information received from the mobile under test like
the measurement report. The commands of these subsystems are described here.
CONFigure – This subsystem incorporates all changeable node B parameters of
all implemented communication systems.
CALL – This subsystem handles call procedures and allows to read out the
measurement report generated by the mobile under test.
The information available is dependent on the current state of a call, i.e. some
commands require an established radio communication link between the 4400
and the mobile under test.
The CONFigure subsystem This subsystem incorporates all changeable NB parameters of all systems imple-
mented. The key commands are the following:
NOTE
The settings made here directly affect all communication system-specific sub-
systems.
CONFigure:CSYStem
Selects the communications system
to work with.
CONFigure:<SystemOption>:...
These commands select parameters
within a communications system.
CONFigure:<SystemOption>:NB:
...
These are the commands to set spe-
cific system parameters like the
node B’s RF output power level or its
identity.
CONFigure:<SystemOption>
:UE:...
The mobile-specific information is
handed over to the 4400 using these
commands. One example is the power
level.
CONFigure:<SystemOption>
:BER:...
These commands set the BER parame-
ters.
CONFigure:<SystemOption>
:GROup:...
With the help of these commands,
groups of measurements may be
defined.
CONFigure:COUPloss:...
These commands provide access to
the coupling loss compensation fea-
ture of the 4400.
