There is also a kind of relation between DTX and Power Control. DTX is, in a certain sense, a kind of PC: the “no speech” and “no data” frames (during the silent descriptor – SID) are transmitted (both on MS and BTS side) at idle power (minimum power) in order to reduce interference and save MS battery and reduce BTS power consumption.
