2. SCOPE

This document provides technical information on the available BSS performance counters provided

by the Performance Management application of the Alcatel EVOLIUMTM

BSS in Release B6.

For more explanation on the Performance Management application please refer to the BSS Feature

Description [2].

GPRS counters are provided in a separate document [3].

3. INTRODUCTION

The following chapters describe the available Performance Management Information provided by the

Alcatel GSM 900/GSM 1800/GSM 1900 BSS.

The chapter BSS Counters describes the performance measurements performed in the BSC,

providing counters grouped in measurement types. Within the measurement types the counters are

sorted according to the counter name in alphabetical order. The Appendix provides the counters

sorted by their ID within a measurement type.

The chapter Observation Measurements describes the performance observations performed in the

BSC, providing records of system events grouped in observation types. Within the observation

measurement types the counters are sorted according to the counter ID.

The descriptions in chapters 4 and 5 provides per counter, indicator or record:

Counter Name: the counter/indicator/record name as provided at the OMC-R to the user. The

counter name is defined in a manner that allows to deduce the provided counter purpose from the

name. A counter name is unique within the measurement type.

Counter ID: provides the unique short name identification of the counter/indicator/record. It is used

for easier handling of the counters.


4/77




Domain:Handover, Quality of Service, Resource Availability & Usage, Traffic Loadand Adjacency

indicates on which measurement domain a counter supplies information. The domains are only

relevant for the BSS counters.

Description: both, the information supplied by the counter/indicator/record and in which operational

task the counter can help, is described.

Measured Object indicates for which object the counter collects the performance data. Possible

objects are:

- Cell: (common) cell,

- HO adj.: handover adjacency (target or source cell),

- TRX_TS: TRX-timeslot,

- TRX: TRX (all timeslots),

- LapD: LapD-link,

- N7 SL: N7-link,

- X.25: X.25 link,

- BSC: BSC.

Type: the counter collection mechanism (cumulative counters (CC), status inspection (SI), discrete

event registration (DER)) is indicated. Three types of BSS counters can be distinguished according

to the way their value is determined:

- Cumulative Counters (CC):

instances of pre-defined events are accumulated in counters over time. The results will be

made available at pre-defined reporting intervals.

- Status Inspection (SI):

groups of items can be periodically inspected to ascertain status (e.g. how many channels in a

trunk are simultaneously busy?), with results made available at pre-defined reporting intervals.

The sampling period is given in brackets.

- Discrete Event Registration (DER):

pre-defined event occurrences can be recorded in detail. The sampling rate of discrete events

is an operator controlled attribute.
