Why ATPC?
3. ATPC on both ends establish a Feedback Channel through the radio link (1byte)
4. Transmitters will reduce Output power to the min. possible level
5. Power reduction stops when RSL in remote receiver reaches Ref. input level
6. ATPC is strongly recommended with XPIC configuration

ATPC Example when ATPC is ON (One site ATPC, second site MTPC)
Site A
FSL= -60 dB
Site B
ATPC
IRLB (Input Ref. level on Site B) = -50dBm
MTPC
TSL A = ?
RSL A = ?
TSL B = 30dBm
RSL B =?
Site A
FSL= -60 dB
Site B
ATPC
IRLB (Input Ref. level on Site B) = -50dBm
ATPC
IRLA (Input Ref. level on Site A) = -50dBm
TSL A = ?
RSL A = ?
TSL B = ?
RSL B = ?
Site A
FSL= -60 dB
Site B
ATPC
IRLB (Input Ref. level on Site B) = -60dBm
ATPC
IRLA (Input Ref. level on Site A) = -50dBm
TSL A = ?
RSL A = ?
TSL B = ?
RSL B = ?
RSL B is -50dBm because typical ATPC range for TX level is 20dB (depend on RFU type)!!!
It means that TSL A cant be 0dBm because possible min is 10dBm (Max is 30dBm)
