Configuration Policy |
The discontinuous transmission (DTX) function allows a transmitter to stop power transmission in the case of no voice transfer. This function has the following benefits: 1. On the uplink: decreasing the power consumption of the MS and reducing system interference 2. On the downlink: decreasing power consumption of the BTS, reducing system interference, and reducing intermodulation inside the BTS 3. From the network perspective, the inter-frequency interference is reduced and the network quality is improved. The DL DTX function is also restricted by the MSC.To enable this function, the DTX function must be enabled on the MSC side. If downlink DTX is disabled on the MSC side, downlink DTX cannot be used irrespective of the setting of this parameter. If downlink DTX is enabled on the MSC side, the setting of this parameter determines whether downlink DTX is used in a cell. |
