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.

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.
