3.5.3. Finger Info
Position Type); the other devices that support finger measurements always report on the CPICH. The “Finger” and “Finger Position” series of elements contain the same data. The latter series contains arrays of size 2560 corresponding to the sequence of chips in a radio frame timeslot, with the received finger information positioned at the correct indices. These elements are provided for bar chart plotting. The Finger Slot Pos element is of course not needed in the Finger Position series and is consequently absent from it. Two arguments are used. The first represents the UMTS frequency; the second represents either the Rake finger number (“Finger” series) or the chip index (“Finger Position” series).

“Sc” elements (general remarks)
The attributes for these elements have the following meanings:
The arguments have the following meanings:
• Not sorted: Scrambling codes are ordered by index (no ranking). Lowest index first. • Strongest: Scrambling codes are ranked by descending Aggr Ec/Io, for each scanned UMTS
frequency separately. • Weakest: Scrambling codes are ranked by ascending Aggr
Ec/Io, for each scanned UMTS frequency separately. • Best (among all frequencies): Scrambling codes from all scanned UMTS frequencies are
ranked by descending Aggr Ec/Io in a single list. The first argument is always 1 in this case.
• Argument 1: UMTS frequency. Frequencies are ordered by ascending UARFCN. This argument is not used with the attribute “Best” (see above).
• Argument 2: Scrambling code. Scrambling codes are ordered as specified by the chosen attribute (see above). Some “Sc” elements are not differentiated for scrambling codes and therefore lack this argument.
Sc Aggr Eb/Io –10 ... 21 dB
1 ... 4; 1 ... 512
CPICH scanning: The aggregate code power of the scrambling code (Eb, energy per bit) relative to the total signal power in the channel (Io). See also general remark above.
Sc Aggr Ec –130 ... –25 dBm
1 ... 4; 1 ... 512
CPICH scanning: The aggregate code power (energy per chip) of each scanned scrambling code. The aggregate code power is a measure of the total signal power (distributed around the main peak due to multipath propagation) that is above the PN threshold. See also general remark above.

1 ... 4; 1 ... 512

CPICH scanning: The difference between the aggregate code power and peak code power. See also general remark above.
Sc Cell Name Text 1 ... 4; 1 ... 512
CPICH scanning: Deduced name of the cell that uses each scanned scrambling code. The algorithm determining the cell name takes as input the SC number, the UARFCN, and the position reported. It searches the cell file for cells with matching SC number and UARFCN within a 50 km
radius. If multiple matches are found, the cell closest to the position is selected. If no positioning data is available, the information element will still be presented, but the cell names may then of course be wrong. The algorithm in this case simply picks the first cell in the cell file with matching SC number and UARFCN. Requires cell file and positioning. See also general remark above.
Sc Cell Type 1 ... 3 1 ... 4; 1 ... 512
CPICH scanning: Categorization of the cells that use the scanned scrambling codes. 1: The cell with the strongest Aggr Ec. 2: All neighbors of the “1” cell, as indicated by the cell file. 3: All other cells. If the “Best” attribute is set, this categorization is still applied for each UMTS frequency, so there will be one “1” with associated “2”s for each frequency. Requires cell file and positioning. See also general remark above.
Sc Delay Spread
0 ... 255 1 ... 4; 1 ... 512
