1 The mobile originating call

On this chapter only MSC, VLR and INTCELL (INTCREL) traffic data will be
analyzed.
The INTCELL traffic data is the last "core" measurement to be analyzed, during a
suspicious or error situation, before the handover to the BSS team. Can be also used
for the construction of cell based traffic data at the MSC.

1.1 The arriving of the service request to the MSC

The message CM_SERVICE_REQUEST will trigger the processing of the call at the
MSC. The bellow mentioned counters will be triggered.

At the VMSC

CALL_ATTEMPTS for MORTR [NR]
Indicates how many call attempts have taken place, independently of the
received BS or TS
Trigger: upon receipt of each CM SERVICE REQUEST with SERVICE
TYPE = mobile originating call or establishment of all emergency call
attempts (Short Message Service and SS activation are not included)

EMERGENCY_TS12_ATTEMPTS [NR]
Indicates the number of emergency call attempts (TS12) for MORTR
Trigger: each time CM SERVICE REQUEST indicating an emergency call
is received

TRAFFIC_VOLUME for MORTR [sec]
Indicates the sum of all holding times
Trigger:
starts: each time CM SERVICE REQUEST is received
stops: each time RELEASE COMPLETE is received

Finally the following INTCELL counter is also incremented: one independent counter,
with independent values, will be "generated" for each monitored cell.

At the VMSC and for each measured cell

ORIG_CALL_ATTEMPTS [NR]
indicates the number of attempted calls for originating calls
Trigger: upon receipt of CM SERVICE REQUEST with the CM service
type:
- mobile originating call
- emergency call

Short message service and SS activation are not included

1.4 The IMEI check procedure

The IMEI Check procedure is used for mobile equipment (ME) network access
authorization.
From the quite complete set of counters available for it's monitoring we will analyze
only the one bellow.

At the VMSC:

CALL_WHITE_LIST for MORTR [NR]
indicates the number of successful calls with white listed equipment
Trigger: each time TC-RESULT (white list IMEI) is received from the EIR in
response to check IMEI at call setup

1.5 The TMSI reallocation procedure

The counters, which may be used for the TMSI reallocation monitoring, are present
on the VLR set:

At the VVLR:

1.6 The arrival of the setup message

The arrival of the SETUP message with the identity of the service and with the B
number will trigger the CALL SETUP traffic volume counter:

At the VMSC:

TIME_CALL_SET_U_SERV [sec]
is the average time to provide the call setup service
Trigger:
starts: each time SET UP is received (MOC) or sent (MTC)
stops: each time ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE is received

The STOP point is always the arrival of the TCH allocation message. It will take place
and will be present on a later stage of the MOC procedure.

1.7 The digit translation

The B number Digit Translation will normally result on the seizure of the call
destination, route, TGRP and time slot. From the traffic measurement point of view a
"MSC Traffic Type" change will occur.
On a typical MOC the new traffic type will be the MOUT_NOT_PLMN and the
following counters may be incremented:

At the VMSC:

CALL_ATTEMPTS for MOUT_NOT_PLMN [NR]

1.9 The G-MSC SN seizure and the routing of the call
to the partner network

The GMSC will process the arrived call and a new traffic type change will happen.
The incoming MICTR call will "leave" the network element as MTRAN.
The following counters may be used to control the successful seizure and routing of
the incoming call:

At the GMSC

SN_THROUGH_CONNECTIONS for MTRAN [NR]
indicates the number of successful call attempts
Trigger: each IAM is sent to the next exchange (after the seizure of the SN
and the performing of the COC)

2.12 Call terminated during SETUP due to radio
problems

If a radio problem occurs during the CALL SETUP phase and if due to that the call is
released the INTCELL counter bellow is incremented. The concrete error origin
should afterwards be searched on the BSS performance indicators.

At the MSC and for each cell

REL_CALL_BS_REASON [NR]
indicates the number of calls that were terminated during setup for base
station/radio related reasons
Trigger: during call setup, prior to CONNECT, each time SUBSYSTEM
PROHIBITED, RESET, RESET CIRCUIT, RELEASE COMMAND/CLEAR
REQUEST are received

2.13 Abnormal release of the call after the ANSWER
message

Although the call is abruptly terminated if a radio error occurs after answer, from the
commercial point of view we can "assume" it as "a successful call" because it could
be charged. However, a technical problem indeed occurred and its origin should once
more be searched on the BSS measurements.

Counters that may be involved on the error detection:

at the VMSC

BS_REL_WITH_ANSWER for MOUT_NOT_PLMN [NR]
indicates the number of answered calls terminated due to BSS/radio-related
reasons (e.g. loss of connection)
Trigger: upon each receipt of CONNECT ACK when SUBSYSTEM
PROHIBITED, RESET, RESET CIRCUIT, RELEASE COMPLETE/CLEAR
REQ for particular reason(s) were received

This particular counter will be incremented if one of the specified errors would occur
on the originating MSC.

Finally from the INTCELL side:

At the VMSC and for each cell

REL_ANSW_CALL_BS_REASON [NR]
indicates the number of answered calls that are terminated for base
station/radio related reasons
Trigger: after CONNECT ACK, each time SUBSYSTEM PROHIBITED,
RESET, RESET CIRCUIT, RELEASE COMMAND/CLEAR REQUEST are
received
