Channel Request

Hi All,

could you help me to understand better the meaning of the field (in SysInfo2):
-Tx-Integer
-Max Retrans

I guess that “max retrans” is the number of repetition of the channel request.
I have no idea about “tx-integer”; the spec 44.018 says “Number of slots to spread transmission” … but what does it mean exactly ?
The ChRequest should be sent in a single burst by a single AccessBurst, so in a single slot ??
