Details The counter CSCSTCONG starts incrementing when a signalling connection setup attempt for a procedure requiring a TCH fails and stops incrementing when there is a successful signalling connection setup of any kind on a SDCCH or a TCH The counter CSCSOPTCONG on the other hand starts incrementing when a signalling connection setup attempt for a procedure that can be completed on an SDCCH fails and stops incrementing when there is a successful signalling connection setup of any kind on a SDCCH Congestion counter for underlaid subcell. Stepped each time an allocation attempt fails due to SDCCH congestion. Also available for overlaid subcells, CCONGSSUB. Congestion time counter for underlaid subcell. The counter is stepped each second all available SDCCH channels are busy. Also available for overlaid subcells, CTCONSUB. Congestion time counter for signalling connection setup for procedures requiring a TCH. Starts incrementing when a signalling connection setup attempt for a procedure requiring a TCH fails and stops incrementing when there is a successful signalling connection setup of any kind on a SDCCH or a TCH. Congestion time counter for signalling connection setup for procedures that can be completed on a SDCCH. Starts incrementing when a signalling connection setup attempt for a procedure that can be completed on an SDCCH fails and stops incrementing when there is a successful signalling connection setup of any kind on a SDCCH. Number of released connections on SDCCH due to TCH or Transcoder (TRA) congestion in both underlaid and overlaid subcell. The subset for overlaid subcells is CNRELCONGSUB. CNDROP is stepped at the same time. Number of released TCH signalling connections due to transcoder resource congestion during immediate assignment on TCH. The corresponding counter for half-rate is THNRELCONG. These counters are also available for overlaid subcell as TFNRELCONGSUB and THNRELCONGSUB. TFNDROP is stepped at the same time. Number of failed channel allocation attempts at assignment or immediate assignment in underlaid subcell. The counter is also available for half-rate and for overlaid subcells, e.g. THCONGSASSUB. Number of congestion at incoming handover in underlaid subcell. The counter is also available for half-rate and for overlaid subcells, e.g. THCONGSHOSUB. Soft congestion time counter for underlaid subcell. The counter starts to increment when a channel is requested but no idle channels are available. The corresponding half-rate counter for overlaid subcells is named THTCONSUB. In the case of GPRS no consideration is made as to whether on-demand PDCHs exist in the cell or not i.e. both on-demand and fixed PDCHs are regarded as busy. Hard congestion time counter for underlaid subcell. The counter starts to increment only when it has not been possible to allocate a channel with the help of any type of preemption. The corresponding counter for overlaid subcells is named TFTHARDCONSUB. The corresponding counters for halfrate are called THTHARDCONGS and THTHARDCONSUB In the case of GPRS no consideration is made as to whether on-demand PDCHs exist in the cell, simply whether the preemption has failed or not.

CLUNDROP

CLUDISTA

CLUDISSS

Details The total number of dropped SDCCH channels in a cell. Number of released connection on SDCCH due to TCH and transcoder congestion in underlaid and overlaid subcell. The subset for overlaid subcells is CNRELCONGSUB. The two counters are located in CLSDCCH and CLSDCCHO respectively. CNDROP is stepped at the same time. Dropped SDCCH connection at excessive Timing Advance (TA). Dropped SDCCH connection at low signal strength on down or uplink in underlaid subcell i.e. below LOWSSDL and/or LOWSSUL. There is also a counter for overlaid subcell, CDISSSSUB. Dropped SDCCH connection at bad quality down or uplink per cell in underlaid subcell i.e. worse than BADQDL and/or BADQUL. There is also a counter for overlaid subcell, CDISQASUB. The total number of dropped SDCCH channels during location area update in a cell. The counter CLUNDROP is incremented for abnormal terminations that occur during location area update. Dropped SDCCH connection during location area update at excessive Timing Advance (TA). CLUDISTA works as CDISTA, but is only incremented for drops during location area update. Dropped SDCCH connection during location area update at low signal strength on down or uplink in underlaid subcell i.e. below LOWSSDL and/or LOWSSUL. There is also a counter for overlaid subcell, CLUDSSSUB. CLUDISSS and CLUDISSSSUB works as CDISSS and CDISSSSUB respectively, but are only incremented for drops during location area update.

CLUDISQA

Dropped SDCCH connection during location area update at bad quality down or uplink per cell in underlaid subcell i.e. worse than BADQDL and/or BADQUL. There is also a counter for overlaid subcell, CLUDISQASUB. CLUDISQA and CLUDISQASUB works as CDISQA and CDISQASUB respectively, but are only incremented for drops during location area update.
