Preferred Control Channel Cycle

Preferred Control Channel Cycle

Last updated: May 24, 2006

Preferred control channel cycle (PCCC) determines when the access terminal (AT) transitions out of the Sleep State in order to monitor the Control Channel (The AT in sleep state will shut down some processing resources to reduce power consumption).

The Preferred Control Channel Cycle attribute is a "Configurable Attribute" for Idle State Protocol as defined in the C.S0024 standard. It is configured during the session negotiation.

When the session is open, the Preferred Control Channel Cycle being used for the session is displayed on the Access Network Information screen in the Configurable Attribute In Use window and can be queried using the CALL:STATus:CCHannel:PCCCycle:NUMBer? and CALL:STATus:CCHannel:PCCCycle:STATe? .

The test set supports two session negotiation control mode for the PCCC attribute: AN Specified Control Mode and AT Specified Control Mode .
