pmPropagationDelay
Background on pmPropagationDelay
RBS counter to gauge how far a cell is overshooting
Represents the propagation delay measured on RACH message with
correct CRC
When a UE attempts to make a call, preamble is sent to the RBS. With
every successfully detected preamble by the RBS, a sample is taken
and propagation delay is measured. From the measured propagation
delay, the distance between the UE and RBS can be calculated.
A good parser has been created by Darren Ng to parse the raw data,
which can be found in:
