Chapter 4, Description of Fields
Fields That Begin with the Letter E
Expected PN Offset
254
The values displayed in this column are the current Sector A and Sector B pilot
PN Offsets. The mobile station should report pilot PN Offset values for each of its
Active or Candidate set pilots whenever level thresholds are crossed that might
indicate a change in pilot status. The mobile reported PN Offset values should
exactly match one of the Expected PN Offset values, depending on the reported
pilot (Sector A or Sector B).
HP-IB Example
"DISP CGEN;CDMA:CELL:ASECtor:PNOFfset?"
queries the expected PN Offset value for Sector A.
Operating Considerations
A Pilot Strength Message, which includes each detected pilot's PN Offset, is sent
from the mobile station when a Softer Handoff is executed, ended, or when the
mobile station detects a change in pilot levels that could affect the assignment of
pilots to the mobile station's Active, Candidate, or Neighbor sets (refer to the
CDMA Mobile Reporting table at the top of the display). The actual mobile-
reported values for PN Offset in the CDMA Mobile Reporting table at the top of
the display should exactly match the values for Expected PN Offset.
