1 Summary of changesChanges between document issues are cumulative. Therefore, the latest document

issue contains all changes made to previous issues.

Changes made between issues 12-3 and 12-2

Spare counters 001223 and 001224 are taken into use related to BSS101422: Support

for Commercial Mobile Alert System.


Spare counters 001219, 001220, 001221 and 001222 are taken into use.


The Description and Updated fields are modified for the counters 001018, 001052,

001090, 001091 and 001092


New counters 001251 – 001256 related to BSS20960: Wideband AMR added.

Coverage area added to Target name field in Chapter 1.

Counters 001135 and 001136: modified Updated field due to BSS21149: Flexi BSC.

NetAct names corrected in counter tables.


Counters 001182 and 001183: information on when the counter is updated has been

moved from Description to the Updated field.

Counter 001236: minor editorial change in the Updated field.

Nine new signalling charts added in section Signalling charts of Traffic Measurement :

Figures 72-80. The name of Figure 11 changed to TCH assignment failure due to MSC's

inability to switch circuit pool.

2 1 Traffic MeasurementThe BSC traffic measurement registers information related to the stand alone dedicated

control channels (SDCCH) and traffic channels (TCH). The BSC traffic measurement

counters are divided into different classes. There are counters regarding the number of

attempts to seize TCHs and SDCCHs, successful calls, lengths of the queue, the

reasons for Failures and GPRS territory counters. This measurement collects one set of

results for each BTS. Signalling charts are drawn with the accuracy of message inter-

face.

Counters of Traffic Measurement

3 Counters of Traffic Measurement

3.1 001000 / SEIZURE ATTEMPTS

3.2 001001 / SEIZURE ATTEMPTS WITH BUSY SDCCH

Counter ID: 001000 Network element name: SEIZURE ATTEMPTS

Version: 3.0 NetAct name: SDCCH_SEIZ_ATT

Description: Number of times when an MS attempts to seize an SDCCH.

Updated: When the RRM receives requests for SDCCH from an MS as the MS needs

a channel for either a call or a HO.

See figures:

- Basic call with counters

- FACCH call setup due to SDCCH congestion with counters- FACCH call setup due to SDCCH congestion, no free TCH channel

- SDCCH congestion, FACCH call setup is not activated

- Successful SDCCH internal intra-cell handover

- Successful SDCCH internal inter-cell handover

- Successful SDCCH external handover target

- Reconfiguration from TCH to SDCCH

Counter ID: 001001 Network element name: SEIZURE ATTEMPTS WITH

BUSY SDCCH

Version: 3.0 NetAct name: SDCCH_BUSY_ATT

Description: Number of times when an MS attempts to seize an SDCCH but the

attempt is unsuccessful because all SDCCHs are busy. This counter does not neces-

sarily mean that the call attempt is lost, because the call may be established as an

FACCH call setup using TCH instead of SDCCH. This counter is not triggered when

the TCH reconfiguration is attempted because of dynamic SDCCH allocation. If the

attempt fails, the SDCCH_busy_attempt is triggered together with 1155

UNSUCC_IMM_ASS_SDCCH_ATTEMPT.

Version: 3.0 NetAct name: SDCCH_RF_OLD_HO

Description: Number of SDCCH transactions ended because of a radio failure on the

source channel during a handover between SDCCH-SDCCH or SDCCH-TCH.

It is this counter in the source cell that is updated. If the target cell lies within the same

BSC, also counter 001005 in the target cell is updated along with this counter.

Impact: HO failure and call cleared

Updated: When an SDCCH transaction ends because of a radio failure (HO failure)

on the source channel during a handover attempt and the RRM releases the SDCCH.

RADIO ON TARGET CHANNEL

Version: 3.0 NetAct name: SDCCH_RF_NEW_HO

Description: Number of SDCCH transactions ended because of a radio failure on the

target channel during an SDCCH HO.

Impact: HO failure, the call may possibly be cleared

Reason for the impact: Since the MS cannot access the target channel, a radio failure

occurs. The unsuccessful seizure may have been caused by a missing indication of

call establishment, missing detection of HO, missing indication of the HO completed,

or corrupted messages related to the HO.

3.13 001012 / TRANSACTIONS ENDED DUE TO BSS PROBLEM

Description: Number of requests for TCHs that are rejected because there are no

radio resources available. This counter is also updated when a request for TCH is

rejected because of a mismatch between the types of the requested channel and the

A interface circuit.

See also counter 004079.

Updated: When the RRM has no TCHs available for either call or HO attempt

requests, or the RRM changes the A interface circuit pool before the TCH allocation.

This counter may be updated immediately after a TCH request or, in case of queuing,

when the queuing timer expires.

NOTE! In case of DR this counter is updated as follows:

1) When a call is removed from the queue because of a DR attempt, this counter is

NOT updated on the SOURCE side, instead counter 001173 is updated.2) If queuing is not used or the queuing timer expires before a DR attempt, this

counter is updated on the SOURCE side.

3.15 001014 / TRANSACTIONS ENDED DUE SOURCE

CHANNEL FAIL DURING HO

Updated: When a TCH transaction ends because of a radio failure and the RRM

releases the TCH. This counter is typical in connection with coverage problems.

ERROR INDICATION is sent by the BTS to the BSC in the following cases:

- Sequence error in a received message (the case where retransmission is not possi-ble).

- Timer T200 has expired N200 +1 times (MS does not respond any more).

- Unsolicited DM response when link is established.

This counter is updated in call phases 1-8 or 15 only.

Counter 001088 is also updated along with this counter if the MS fails to return to the

old channel during an inter-BSC handover.


Reason for the impact: Since the MS cannot access the target channel, a radio failure

occurs. It may be caused by missing indication of call establishment, missing detec-

tion of HO, missing indication of the HO completed or corrupted messages related to

HO.

channel during a handover attempt.

The signalling problems may include missing acknowledgement of channel activation,

missing indication of call establishment, receipt of an error indication, corrupted mes-

sages, missing measurement results from the BTS, excessive timing advance or

some internal reasons. These failures can also contain situations when the timer

T3109 expires in a BSC in call release phase while waiting for the Release Indication.

The MS subscriber does not see these failures caused by the T3109 expiry as real

drop calls.

the dynamic SDCCH seized by RRM is released with cause rtsl_reconf_fail and the

Because the call can be longer than measurement period, counter of one measure-
