Description

Fixed Value

Access Offset

Indicates the amount of time offset for start of the access probe. It is sent in the AccessParameters Message when the Enhanced Access Channel MAC Protocol is in use.

0 slot ('00')

ACK Channel Bit

If the ACK Channel Bit value is '0', the access terminal shall receive packets on the Forward Traffic Channel as if all the packets were successfully received in one slot duration. Even if a packet has not been successfully decoded in a single slot and its full-length in slots is greater than one, the access terminal shall stop receiving the packet after one slot. It shall accordingly continue generating and transmitting Loop Back Packets, if the Loop Back mode is enabled.

If the ACK Channel Bit value is '1', the access terminal shall receive packets on the Forward Traffic Channel as if all the packets were of full-length duration. The access terminal shall continue receiving the packet until the full-length in slots has elapsed even if the packet was successfully decoded earlier. It shall accordingly continue generating and transmitting Loop Back Packets if the Loop Back mode is enabled.

'1' (Nak)
This value is sent to the AT when ACK Channel Bit Fixed Mode Attribute is on.
Active ARQ

Indicates whether the Forward Link ARQ channels (H-ARQ/L-ARQ, and P-ARQ) are actively set in response to the received Reverse Traffic Channel data packets. It effectively enables or disables active early termination of the reverse data packets.

When it is Disabled, the ACK R-Data After determines what bits are sent on the ARQ channels in response to the received Reverse Traffic Channel data packets.

Disabled

Burst Period

(see Burst Period Mode )
Burst Size

Indicates the burst size generated at the beginning of the PL_2 RETAP Test Packet generation period (in units of 1000 octets). It is sent in the RETAPParameterAssignment Message of the Enhanced Test Application Protocol.

Forced Single Encapsulation

Indicates whether or not the Session Layer packet can be encapsulated with other Session Layer packets in the same Connection Layer packet.

For the test application protocols (TAP or ETAP), forced single encapsulation is required to ensure there is a one to one mapping between application packets and physical layer packets.

For the Default Packet Application (DPA), this setting is fixed to off so that packets can be consolidated to increase the throughput.

On (for TAP)
Off (for DPA, Lab Application only )

See Session Application Type .

Forward Link Early Termination

Indicates whether the forward link data packets are early terminated in response to the received Reverse ACK Channel (R-ACK). It effectively enables or disables active early termination of the forward link data packets.

When it is Disabled, Max Forward Packet Duration and the received DRC determine how many slots are transmitted for the current forward link data packet regardless of what is sent on the R-ACK channel.
