Introduction to GSM Statistics Manual

Statistics
This manual describes the statistical measurements generated by the BSS in response to the
monitored network and system events. The statistics include statistical measurements defined
in the GSM Technical Specification 12.04, plus additional Motorola defined statistics.

NOTE
To facilitate easy access, the statistics are presented in alphabetical order.

Network management and planning


Network operators can use raw and processed statistics for the following network management
and planning functions:

Quality of service monitoring


Service accessibility
Service integrity
Service retainability

Fault finding

Optimization

Network planning

Installation and commissioning

Raw statistics
The BSS generates raw statistics for reporting individual network performance. The OMC-R
processes raw statistics to create key, network health and custom statistics. These statistics
include call processing, interface, and processor utilization measurements.

Call statistics
Call processing functions and features generate statistics that show how the system is
performing.

Key statistics

Interface statistics
Terrestrial interface activities generate interface statistics that show the activity on the
interface links and their conditions. The interface links are the physical connections between
the MS, BSS, and MSC network elements.

Processor utilization statistics


Processor utilization statistics show the percentage of GPROC utilization.

NOTE
If CTU2 is used in the system, processor utilization statistics are not supported.

Key statistics
Key statistics are generated at the OMC-R by processing raw statistics generated by the BSS,
using predefined algorithms. These statistics:

Provide an overall indication of the condition of the system.

Allow comparisons of similar time periods over a span of time.

Detect congestion trends and possible performance degradation.

Key statistics are also provided to facilitate the monitoring of the most important network
parameters. For example, various handover failure statistics can be combined and averaged
over the total number of calls, to produce a handover failure rate key statistic.
The following are the key statistics groupings:

Call Summary

Channel Usage

Connection Establishment

RF Loss Summary

MTL Utilization

Network health statistics


Network health statistics are calculated at the OMC-R using a combination of raw and key
statistics. These statistics are used to create BSS network performance reports. These reports
provide an indication of the health of the network from the perspective of the subscribers.

Custom statistics

Chapter 1: Introduction to statistics

The following are the network health report groupings:

Health check

GPRS performance

Handover performance

TCH congestion

SDCCH congestion

Paging performance

Radio performance

Custom statistics
The OMC-R permits the creation of custom statistics using the algebraic combination of existing
raw and key statistics. Refer to the manual Installation and Configuration: GSM System
Configuration (68P02901W17) manual for procedures on creating custom statistics.

Statistic terms
This manual contains the following statistical terms throughout this manual:
Application process - The process responsible for creating and pegging a statistic.
Bin - A collection area used for the storage of cumulative values for distribution and counter
array statistics.

Distribution statistics:
The use of a bin is for measuring the frequency of an event. The measurement is done
by time (weighted distributions) or by occurrences (normal distributions). There are ten
bins (numbered 0 - 9). Each bin has a low to high range.

Counter array statistics:


The use of a bin is for counting the number of occurrences on a per scenario or cause basis.
The number of bins varies based on the number of causes being tracked.

Cumulative value - The total value for the entire interval.


Default time interval - The key statistics default time interval is 0.5 hours when computing
all key statistics.
The interval used for two key statistics, TCH_MEAN_HOLDING_TIME and
SDCCH_MEAN_HOLDING_TIME, is specified in seconds. To convert the default value of 0.5
hours to seconds, multiply the 0.5 hours by 3600.
Interval - A recording time in which a statistic is pegged. The default time is 30-minute
intervals and there are 12 intervals of data stored at the BSS.
Interval expiry - The end of an interval.
Maximum value - The highest reported value for the interval.

Maintenance information: GSM Statistics Application

Statistic terms

Mean value - The average value for the interval.


Minimum value - The lowest reported value for the interval.
Number of periods - The value used in calculating the mean duration. This value is
incremented by one, every time the duration timer is stopped.
Number of samples - The value used in calculating the mean for distributions. For a normal
distribution, this value is incremented by one, each time a value is reported. The time difference
increments this value for a weighted distribution, since the last reported value.
Peg - A peg is a single incremental action modifying the value of a statistic.
Pegging - Pegging refers to recording a statistical value.
Reported value - The value reported by the application process pegging the statistic.
SUM - In the key and network health statistic formulae, SUM is the arithmetic total of
a mathematical formula for one or more cells selected in the OMC-R GUI Performance
Management window. The mathematical formula can include a single raw statistic or a set of
arithmetic functions.
Temporary value - This value is used in weighted distributions. The application process
supplies both the reported value and the temporary value. The reported value is used to update
a bin. The temporary value is stored for updating a bin at interval expiry.
Threshold value - The threshold value can be set in the configuration management database
using the MMI. When the reported value for a statistic equals the threshold value, an alarm
is sent from the BSS to the OMC-R. Thresholds can also be specified for individual bins in
counter array statistics.

Types of raw statistics

Chapter 1: Introduction to statistics

Types of raw statistics

Introduction
The BSS reports the following six types of statistics:

Counter

Counter array

Gauge

Duration

Normal distribution

Weighted distribution

Counter statistics
A counter statistic is the cumulative value of an event reported by an application process. The
application process increments or pegs the counter statistic by the reported value during an
interval. The ALLOC_SDCCH statistic is an example of a counter statistic.

Threshold event reporting


A counter statistic can have a user specified threshold that can generate an alarm when
reached. The BSS reports only one alarm to the OMC for a specific statistic during an interval.

Maximum value
The maximum value of a counter statistic is 4294967294 (HEX= 0xfffffffe). If a counter statistic
reaches the maximum value, it remains at that value until the interval expiry.

Interval expiry
Interval expiry is the end of a statistic interval. At the interval expiry, the BSS saves the counter
statistic value, then resets it to zero.

1-6

Maintenance information: GSM Statistics Application

Counter array statistics

Counter array statistics


Counter array statistics are:

The total number of times an event occurs and a breakdown of the causes.

The reasons why the event occurred during an interval.

When an event occurs, the BSS increments the individual cause or reason by the value reported
by the application at the interval expiry. The OK_ACC_PROC statistic is an example of
a counter array statistic.

Display convention
The convention used in this manual for presenting a specific bin of a counter
array statistic is COUNTER ARRAY STATISTIC NAME[bin name]. For example,
OK_ACC_PROC[CM_REESTABLISH] is the CM_REESTABLISH bin of the OK_ACC_PROC
counter array statistic.

Counter array bins


A bin is a storage area in a counter array for cumulative cause or reason values. The number
of bins in a counter array statistic depends on the number of causes or reasons associated
with a specific event.

Maximum value
The maximum value for the total and individual cumulative values is 65534 (HEX=0xfffe). If a
bin count reaches this value during a period, the bin contents remains at the maximum value
until the interval expiry.

Interval expiry
Interval expiry is the end of a statistic interval. At the interval expiry, the BSS saves the counter
array total values and the values of the individual bins and then resets them to zero.

Gauge statistics
Gauge statistics report the maximum and mean values of a statistic for an interval. The
IDLE_TCH_INTF_BANDO statistic is an example of a gauge statistic.
While a gauge statistic can result in the report of a reported negative value, the cumulative
value cannot be a negative value. The BSS checks the cumulative before calculating the mean
value, and if the result is a negative number, it sets the mean to zero.

Threshold event reporting


A gauge statistic can have a user specified threshold that can generate an alarm when the
threshold is reached. The BSS only reports one alarm to the OMC for a specific statistic during
an interval.

Duration statistics

Chapter 1: Introduction to statistics

Interval expiry
Interval expiry is the end of a statistic interval. At the interval expiry, the BSS saves the mean
and maximum gauge statistic values and then resets them to zero.

Duration statistics
A duration statistic is a group of values associated with the timing of events controlled by an
application process. The duration statistics include the total duration, mean, maximum, and
minimum values. The FLOW_CONTROL_BARRED statistic is an example of a duration statistic.

Total duration
The OMC reports only the total duration.
The total duration is the length of time an event occurs during an interval. It is a cumulative
value reported in milliseconds. When the event starts, the BSS saves the start time of the day
(in milliseconds). When the event ends, the BSS saves the stop time of day (in milliseconds).
The BSS calculates the total duration using the following formula:
stop time - start time

Wraparound to next day


The BSS automatically checks the time of the day to determine the interval. If the start time is
greater than the stop time, the BSS calculates the total duration using the following formula:
(86400000 - start time) + stop time

Mean value
The BSS calculates the mean duration by dividing the total duration by the period counter. The
BSS increments the period counter each time a measured event occurs during an interval.
mean = total time / period counter

Maximum value
The maximum value of a duration statistic is 86400000 (the number of milliseconds in 24 hours).

Normal distribution statistics

Interval expiry
Interval expiry is the end of a statistic interval. The following processes occur at the interval
expiry:

If no events occur during the interval, the BSS sets the duration minimum value to zero.
The BSS saves this minimum value and then resets it to 0xffffffff.

The BSS saves the duration mean and maximum values and then resets them to zero.

The BSS resets the period counter and cumulative values to zero.

The BSS stops and resets any active timers.

Normal distribution statistics


Normal distribution statistics are the number of times the reported value of an event falls
within a specified range. A distribution statistic is a single row array of ten bins, numbered
0-9. The BSS also saves the minimum reported value, the maximum reported value, and a
calculated mean of the reported values. The OMC reports only the distribution mean, maximum,
and minimum values.

Bins
Each bin represents a range of values reported by an application. Each time an application
reports a value, the BSS increments the bin corresponding to the reported value by one. The
BSS also increments the sample count by one and calculates the total of all the reported values
during the interval. The disp_stats command displays the individual bin values.
The operator can specify the range of values represented by each bin or use the system defaults.
Each bin represents a range of values depending on the focus of the statistical analysis. Narrow
bin ranges permit closer examination of the periods of greatest activity.

Mean value
The BSS calculates the mean value by dividing the cumulative total of the reported values
by the sample count.

NOTE
If there are gaps in the bin ranges, some occurrences of reported events are not
included in the bin counts. For example, if the assigned range of values of two
adjacent bins are 10-15 and 17-20, a reported event with a value of 16 is not recorded.
The mean value does not account for the unrecorded event.

Weighted distribution statistics

Chapter 1: Introduction to statistics

Histogram
A normal distribution statistic can be illustrated as a histogram. Figure 1-1 shows that the range
of values assigned to bin 0 is 0-10, bin 1 is 11-20, and bin 7 is 71-80. The histogram shows that
each of bin 0 and bin 1 contains two occurrences and bin 7 contains one occurrence.

Interval expiry
Interval expiry is the end of a statistic interval. The following events occur at the interval expiry:

The mean value is calculated. If the number of reported events is not equal to zero, the
mean value is calculated by dividing the cumulative value of all the reported events by
the number of reported events.

The distribution minimum value is saved and reset to 0xffffffff. If no value was received
during the interval, the duration minimum value is set to zero.

The distribution mean value and maximum value are saved and reset to zero.

The number of reported events and the cumulative value are reset to zero.

The values in each of the ten bins are saved and reset to zero.

Weighted distribution statistics


Weighted distribution statistics are the length of time that the reported value of an event falls
within a specified range. These statistics are placed in a single row array of ten bins, numbered
0-9, and a mean duration of the reported events. The minimum and maximum durations of the
reported values are also saved and reported at the end of the interval.

1-10

68P02901W56-T

Maintenance information: GSM Statistics Application

Weighted distribution statistics

Bins
Each bin is defined to represent a range of values. Each time an application process reports
a value, the bin corresponding to the reported value is incremented by the length of time the
reported value stays within the bin's specified range. This allows the number of times a reported
value falls within a specific range to be used to calculate the mean.
The range of values that can be assigned to each of the ten bins in the array is variable. The
range of values can be sized based on the focus of the analysis to be performed. For example,
when measuring a statistic, the range of values assigned to the bins can be assigned to reflect
the periods of greatest activity. By narrowing the bin ranges, the periods of greatest activity can
be more closely examined.

NOTE
If there are gaps in the bin ranges, some occurrences of the reported events are
not included in the bin counts. For example, if the assigned range of the values of
two adjacent bins are 10-15 and 17-20, a reported event with a value of 16 is not
recorded. The mean value does not account for the unrecorded event.

Wraparound to next day


A check is automatically made to determine the interval. If the start time is greater than the
stop time, the total duration is calculated using the following formula:
(86400000 - start time) + stop time

Mean value
The mean value is the statistical average of all the reported values divided by the number
of reported events.

NOTE
The mean for a weighted distribution statistic is not a duration value and is not
calculated using the bin values.

Histogram
A weighted distribution statistic can be illustrated as a histogram. Figure 1-2 shows that the
range of values assigned to bin 0 is 0-10 and bin 7 is 71-80. The following histogram shows that
the duration of the event reporting values from 0-10 was 40 milliseconds, and the duration of
the events reporting values from 71-80 was 20 milliseconds.

Chapter 1: Introduction to statistics

Call release time

Call release delay

MS registration and paging


Cells are grouped in location areas. A Mobile Station (MS) is typically paged only in the cells of
one location area when an incoming call arrives. Therefore, the MS informs the MSC of the
location area in which the subscriber is to be paged. It does so by a location updating procedure.
The best outcome of the procedure is available when the network indicates that normal service
is available.
Several outcomes are possible when the registration is not successful, either due to:

the procedure running correctly and the network providing a meaningful answer, possibly
denying service.

the procedure running incorrectly and the network providing an answer that is
meaningless.

After updating the MS location, the MSC can page when an incoming call arrives. The MSC
provides the concerned BSC with the ID of the MS to be paged and the list of the cells in which
the paging is to be issued. The BSC is in charge of managing the grouping and scheduling of
paging messages and initial assignment of messages.

Network accessibility
A registered MS can access the network. Access denial is divided into three main categories:

Call blocking.
No signaling channel (SDCCH) is available.
No Traffic Channel (TCH) is available.

Failure to maintain a signaling channel or traffic channel.


MS is moving out of range, for example, into a garage.
MS is being switched off.
A hardware failure (MS or BSS).

Refusal by the MSC for network access.


Failure to gain network access is pegged in BSS statistics. For a detailed analysis,
investigate the MSC statistics, as it is an MSC process.

Service integrity

Call set-up time


Post-selection delay and answer signal delay determine the call set-up time.

Post-selection delay: the time interval between dialing the last digit on the fixed network,
or pressing the send button on an MS, to receiving the appropriate tone. One possible
reason for this delay is that all resources have been allocated to other calls, which can
result in a queuing delay.

Answer signal delay: the time taken in connecting the called terminal through to the
calling terminal, once the called terminal has gone off hook.

The raw statistics TCH_DELAY and CALLS_QUEUED are associated with call set-up time and
answer signal delay.

Call release time


Call release time is the time taken to release the call from the moment the end button is pressed
or after the handset on the fixed network is replaced.

Call release delay


Call release delay is the time between releasing one call and being able to originate another.
The only aspect of concern to the BSS is queuing. All other areas are transparent to the BSS.

Service integrity
Service integrity is determined by the processes affecting the following:

Call clarity

Lack of interference

Correct tones and announcements

Call clarity
Call clarity is measured by the uplink-downlink path loss difference on the air interface. The
raw statistic PATH_BALANCE is the only measurement associated with call clarity.

Lack of interference
The lack of interference is measured by the bit error rate and the interference level on monitored
idle channels. The raw statistics BER and INTF_ON_IDLE are the only measurements
associated with lack of interference.

Service retainability

Chapter 1: Introduction to statistics

Correct tones and announcements


Subscriber perceptions of service integrity are influenced by the delivery of correct tones and
announcements when using the system. No statistics are available to measure correct tones
and announcements.

Service retainability
Service retainability is determined by the lack of premature releases. The following factors can
affect a premature release:

Base ceases to detect the RF signaling from the MS.

MS fails to reach the target channel on handover.

Call releases due to equipment failure (MSC, base site, or MS).

Call is lost due to preemptive emergency call.

A subscriber perceives a premature release as a dropped call. Refer to the Ladder diagrams in
Chapter 19 Ladder diagrams.

Fault finding
GSM statistics can be used to find certain classes of faults in the cellular system. A set of
statistics which can be used to perform this function is identified in this section.

Monitoring Faults
Hard failures are normally identified though alarm surveillance. However, it is possible for a
system component to deteriorate over time, while still continuing to function. The deterioration
can manifest itself in multiple ways such as an increase in dropped call rate, or a lower call
completion rate. Monitoring of these system parameters over time can provide the operator with
an early indication of performance degradation due to deterioration in hardware components.

Types of faults
Example of the types of faults that can be identified using statistics include:

Damaged antennas

Frequency drift

Electromechanical problems
Problems with remote combiners
Noisy channels

Optimization

Optimization
Optimization of system parameters is necessary to ensure that the installed cellular
infrastructure is utilized as efficiently as possible. Statistics can be used to monitor and verify
the effects of optimization activities. For example, if handover thresholds are adjusted, statistics
can be used to verify that the new threshold results in an improved handover success rate.
Optimization of a GSM network is a process, whereby several BSS database parameters are
fine-tuned from their default values, and antenna installations are adjusted to improve call
success rate and quality.
By optimizing a network, the performance of the cellular equipment is verified and a benchmark
is obtained for the system that can be used for subsequent expansion. The results can also be
used to modify the original data used in the frequency planning tool.

Network planning
It is possible to determine whether the network is correctly dimensioned for the offered traffic
load. Statistics that monitor resource utilization and congestion can be used to determine when
the network expansion or contraction is required.

Installation and commissioning


Installation and commissioning of cellular equipment is a complex procedure that must be
verified after completion. Part of the verification procedure uses statistics to ensure that the
system is operational.
Drive testing is currently one of the means used to verify installation of the network. Statistics
can be used to verify the data collected during drive testing. Thus, ensuring that all components
of the system are operational.

NOTE
This activity is currently supported with the help of the Call Trace feature.

About ladder diagrams


The relationship between statistics and call processing elements and functions are graphically
represented as ladder diagrams in Chapter 19 Ladder diagrams.
Ladder diagrams show the relationships between the MS, BSS, and MSC elements, represented
as vertical lines.
The message-flow between the network elements is presented as horizontal lines representing
a sequential flow of events. Arrows are used to indicate the direction of the message-flow.
Message names are placed above the directional line.
Intermediate network element functions are placed on the vertical lines as a sequential
reference. Parallel functions can also be included as separate vertical lines for additional
reference.
Statistics associated with the individual messages are located immediately below the directional
line. All the statistics that can be generated as a result of the process flow is listed on the
diagram.

Statistics history

Statistics history

It is both useful and important to understand when specific statistics have been introduced into
the system. As the system develops, new statistics can be introduced or existing statistics can be
modified, replaced or removed. Chapter 21 Statistics history shows a history of statistics from
release 1650 to the present in tabular form. The intention is to help maintenance personnel
track the development of the statistics by the release number.

Statistical operations

Statistical data can be employed in various ways to describe the operation of the system. The
view an operator gets of how the system is performing can be shown through the way statistics
are displayed. The topics described here show how statistical property displays can be enabled
and configured.
The following topics are described:

Enabling/disabling a statistic on page 2-2.

Displaying enabled statistics on page 2-15.

Displaying statistic values on page 2-21.

Setting the statistic interval

Chapter 2: Statistical operations

Setting the statistic interval

Description
The stat_interval is a non statistical parameter that is used to specify the interval. Refer to
the manual Technical Description: BSS Command Reference (68P02901W23) for a detailed
description of the stat_interval parameter.
In normal operations, the OMC-R calculates key statistics and health indicators based on the
default interval of 30 minutes. If the interval is changed to 60 minutes, it must be reset to
30 minutes for normal operations.

NOTE
The OMC-R can calculate key statistics at 60-minute intervals, if it is configured to
handle 60 minute statistic files.
The stat_interval is specified by entering the chg_element command using the following syntax:
chg_element stat_interval <30 or 60> <location>
Where:

Is:

stat_interval

parameter name

30 or 60

valid values for the parameter, in minutes

location

a BSS-wide parameter and 0 is the only valid value for this argument

Displaying the statistic interval start times

Chapter 2: Statistical operations

Displaying the statistic interval start times

Description
The starting times of the statistic intervals can be displayed by entering the disp_interval
command. Refer to the manual Technical Description: BSS Command Reference (68P02901W23)
for a detailed description of the disp_interval command. No arguments are required with
the command.
On startup, the first start time (interval 0) corresponds to current time of the system clock. The
second start time (interval 1) automatically becomes synchronized to the next hour (:00) or half
hour (:30), depending upon the current statistic interval.

Example
This example shows the interaction required to display the starting times of the statistical
intervals where the statistic interval is 30 and the disp_interval command was entered at 1230.

The displayed starting times depend on the time of the day when the disp_interval command
is entered. When the command is entered, the current set of 12 start times is presented. If the
command is entered after interval 11 would be completed, the listing displays the next set
of 12 interval start times.

Setting statistic properties

Chapter 2: Statistical operations

Setting statistic properties

Description
The properties for statistics (except for the statistic interval) can be changed using the
chg_stat_prop command. Refer to the manual Technical Description: BSS Command Reference
(68P02901W23) for a detailed description of the chg_stat_prop command.
The specific properties that can be changed are dependent on the statistic type.

The alarm threshold can be changed for counter, counter array, and gauge statistics, if
an alarm is associated with the statistic.

Bin ranges can be changed for normal and weighted statistics.

Properties cannot be changed for total time (duration) statistics.

Setting a threshold
Some counter and gauge statistics can be associated with alarms. Threshold values can be
specified for these statistics. An alarm is sent to the Operations and Maintenance Center Radio (OMC-R) when the threshold is reached.
A threshold is specified by entering the chg_stat_prop command using the following syntax:
chg_stat_prop <meas_type> [<location>] [<cell_desc>]
Where:

Is:

meas_type

a counter or gauge statistic

location

the location of the statistic whose threshold is being set, if necessary

cell_desc

the cell name or number, if necessary

NOTE

The threshold cannot be set for non-alarming statistics.

The system rejects the setting of statistic properties when the corresponding
feature is restricted.

This example shows the interaction required to change the alarm threshold for the rf_losses_tch
statistic for cell_name=mn14b at site 1.

Setting bin ranges

Setting bin ranges


Distribution statistics include ten bins, numbered 0 to 9. Each bin represents a range of
values. When events are reported, the bin corresponding to the reported value is incremented.
The range of values for the individual bin in a distribution statistic can be specified with the
chg_stat_prop command using the following syntax:
chg_stat_prop <meas_type> [<location>] [<cell_desc>]
Where:

Is:

meas_type

a normal or weighted distribution statistic

location

the location of the statistic whose bin range is being set, if necessary

cell_desc

the cell name or number, if necessary

NOTE
The bin ranges for the BER statistic cannot be modified.
The range of values, to be measured by the statistic, must be considered when assigning
values for the individual bins in the distribution. For example, if the possible range of values
to be measured is from 0 to 100, then the minimum value for bin 0 is 0, and the maximum
value for bin 9 is 100.
Ensure that the gaps in the range of values covered are avoided when assigning the minimum
and maximum values for the individual bins. For example, if bin 0 covers values from 0 to 10
and bin 1 covers values from 12 to 15, a gap exists for the value 11. This can cause any report of
a value equal to 11 to be ignored.
Bin minimum and maximum can be set to the same value for the same bin. This allows a specific
value to be reported within the overall distribution. For example, if the minimum and maximum
values for a bin are both specified to be 10, the bin is pegged each time a value of 10 is reported.

Default ranges
Distribution statistics have default ranges for bins.

ALLOC_SDCCH

Chapter 4: Cell statistics

ALLOC_SDCCH

Description
The ALLOC_SDCCH statistic is the sum of the number of times an SDCCH is successfully
seized. If a TCH is reconfigured as an SDCCH, only the SDCCH statistics are configured.
A Channel Request message is used by the MS to request allocation of a dedicated channel (to
be used as an SDCCH) by the network, in response to a paging message (incoming call) from the
network or as a result of an outgoing call/supplementary short message service dialed from the
MS. It is also used as a part of the call reestablishment procedure.
SDCCH seizure is caused by immediate assignment, handover, and channel assignment
procedures. Congestion is signaled by the Immediate Assignment Reject or the
Assignment/Handover Failure message.

Pegging
This statistic pegs each time an Immediate Assignment message is sent by the BSS. An
Immediate Assignment message is sent upon:

Successful handover on an SDCCH channel.

Successful immediate assignment on an SDCCH channel.

Analysis
This statistic can be used for trend analysis of SDCCH seizures.

ALLOC_SDCCH_FAIL

Description
The ALLOC_SDCCH_FAIL statistic tracks the number of times that an attempt at SDCCH
seizure was rejected because of SDCCH congestion.
If a TCH is reconfigured as an SDCCH, only the SDCCH statistics is incremented. Congestion is
signaled by the Immediate Assignment Reject or the Assignment/Handover Failure message.

Pegging
This statistic pegs when an Immediate Assignment Reject message is sent to the MS in response
to a channel request because no SDCCH channels were available to be allocated. It is also
pegged in the target cell when rejecting a handover due to a lack of resources.

Analysis
A threshold value should be assigned to this statistic which reflects the maximum number of
SDCCH failures due to congestion that are acceptable in normal system operations.
If the specified threshold is exceeded, the 1. CELL: Attempt at allocating an SDCCH failed

Description
The statistic tracks the number of unsuccessful allocations of a half rate AMR and/or GSM TCH
within a cell for both call origination and hand-in. Cases involving Immediate Assignment Reject
are also included in the peg count.

Pegging
This statistic pegs when an attempt to allocate a half rate AMR and/or GSM TCH in a cell fails
due to a lack of resources:

Unsuccessful allocation due to call establishment including unsuccessful allocations due


to directed retries.

Unsuccessful allocation due to intra-cell hand-in.

Unsuccessful allocation due to inter-cell/intra cell hand-in.

Unsuccessful allocation due to inter-BSS hand-in.

NOTE
Upon failure to allocate a channel, the channel allocation failure statistic is pegged
for all the allowed channel rates. Here are some channel allocation failure scenarios:

4-26

If there is a speech call for which the channel type is full rate and half rate,
a failure in allocating a channel results in both ALLOC_TCH_FAIL and
ALLOC_TCH_FAIL_HR being pegged.

ALLOC_TCH_FAIL_HR is pegged for a speech call for which the channel type
specifies both full rate and half rate (with half rate preferred) but result in a full
rate channel being allocated.

When there is a failure to allocate a half rate channel, both ALLOC_TCH_FAIL


and ALLOC_TCH _FAIL_HR are pegged.

68P02901W56-T
Jan 2010

Maintenance information: GSM Statistics Application

Analysis

If the channel type is half rate preferred or full rate non-preferred, or full rate
preferred or half rate non-preferred and neither channel type is allocated (a
complete TCH allocation failure scenario), the ALLOC_TCH_FAIL is pegged
once and ALLOC_TCH_FAIL_HR is pegged once.

When the non-preferred channel type is successfully assigned a channel, a


failure shall be pegged for the preferred type.

AVAILABLE_SDCCH

Chapter 4: Cell statistics

AVAILABLE_SDCCH

Description
The AVAILABLE_SDCCH statistic tracks the average number of available SDCCHs that are
in use or available for use.
The SDCCH is available when its administrative state is unlocked or shutting down and its
operational state is enabled. The SDCCH is unavailable when its administrative state is locked
and its operational state is disabled.

Pegging
If a channel does not fall into one of the above five interference band categories, the channel is
considered to be in interference band 6, and it is neither used for allocation nor be counted
as AVAILABLE_SDCCH.
The AVAILABLE_SDCCH statistic tracks the number of the available SDCCH channels and
pegs whenever a change in the SDCCH availability is detected. This could occur due to SDCCH
channel reconfiguration, DRI state transition, or high interference level on the SDCCH time
slots. Each one of these causes certain SDCCH channels to become unusable for a fixed period.
In CRM, all idle channels (SDCCH, TCH) are categorized by the interference bands from band 1
to band 5. RSS determines the interference bands of all idle channels accordingly and sends
RF Resource Indication Received messages to the CRM periodically. If a channel does not fall
into one of the above five interference band categories, the channel is considered to be in
interference band 6, and it is neither used for allocation nor be counted as AVAILABLE_SDCCH.
The statistic pegs whenever there is a change in the channel configuration for any channel in
the cell (if the number of TCHs has not changed, it is pegged with the same value as before).
This statistic pegs when a change in SDCCH availability is detected.

NOTE
In CRM all idle channels, for instance SDCCH, TCH are categorized by the
interference bands from band 1 to band 5. RSS determines the interference bands of
all idle channels accordingly and sends RF Resource Indication Received messages to
the CRM periodically. If a channel does not fall into one of the above five interference
band categories, the channel is considered to be in interference band 6, and it is
neither used for allocation nor counted as AVAILABLE_SDCCH.

operational state is enabled. The TCH is unavailable when its administrative state is locked
and its operational state is disabled.
This statistic is modified to exclude all PDTCHs, both switchable and reserved unless the
switchable PDTCH is configured as TCH.
This statistic is obtained by maintaining the current and total number of available TCH and the
amount of time each TCH is available over the statistical period. The corresponding mean
and maximum number of TCH available are then computed. The TCH is available when its
administrative state is unlocked or shutting down, and the operational state is enabled. It is
unavailable when its administrative state changes to locked or the operational state changes to
disabled. The available number of TCH is then incremented or decremented when there is a
change in TCH states as described earlier.
This statistic counts only those traffic channels, which are configured as TCH at the time of
measurement. Switchable PDTCHs are included only if they are configured as TCHs.

NOTE
The value of this statistic may decrease because the idle TCH may be configured as
the additional switchable PDTCH.

BAD_HO_REFNUM_MS

BAD_HO_REFNUM_MS

Description
The BAD_HO_REFNUM_MS statistic tracks the number of times an MS has accessed a channel
with a Handover Reference Number that the BSS was not expecting.

Pegging
This statistic is pegged once for each time an MS has accessed a channel with a Handover
Reference Number that the BSS was not expecting. This field is a non formatted random
number. The BSS compares only what it received with what it expected. For example, potentially
up to four times for each logical handover, detect it for the SDCCH processed at the BSS.
The MS continues to attempt access until a good Handover Reference Number is received,
therefore, the handover can be successful and the statistic pegs. This statistic pegs if the
handover fails and recovers, or fails and loses the MS.

Analysis
A threshold value should be assigned to this statistic which reflects the maximum number of MS
accesses of channels with Handover Reference Numbers that the BSS was not expecting that
are acceptable in normal system operations.
High values reported for this statistic are not because a handover access meant for one cell
can be detected by another. But because the channel at the target cell is susceptible for
detection during the time between the channel activation and when the MS arrives. This is like
Phantom RACHs.
If the specified threshold is exceeded, the 19. CELL: Bad HO reference numbers from the
MS - PM alarm is generated. Refer to the manual Maintenance Information: Alarm Handling at
the OMC-R (68P02901W26) for troubleshooting information.

BUSY_TCH

Description
The BUSY_TCH statistic tracks the number of full rate and half rate TCHs allocated during
an interval.
This is a weighted distribution statistic and produces a mean value indicating the average
number of TCHs in use during the interval. It is an indication of the average capacity for
additional traffic in the cell. This statistic includes TCHs used as a Dedicated Control CHannel
(DCCH) in immediate assignment mode. The BUSY_TCH time includes the guard time (the time
allowed between ending a call and being allowed to start another). Since the channel is not
available to be used again until the guard timer expires, it is not considered to be free until then.
The bin ranges may be changed using the chg_stat_prop command. The default bin ranges for
the BUSY_TCH statistic are shown in Table 4-12.

CHAN_REQ_MS_BLK

CHAN_REQ_MS_BLK

Description
The CHAN_REQ_MS_BLK statistic tracks the number of times an MS has been refused
access to a channel.
An Immediate Assignment Reject message was sent to the MS on CCCH. This event indicates
that the MS has requested allocation of a dedicated channel, and the network has responded by
refusing immediate access to a channel. Pegging of this counter indicates that there are no
channels available for assignment in the cell. The counter pegs once for each Channel Request
Reference in the message announcing the blocking. The cell is therefore fully used, and it is not
possible to hand over existing calls into the cell or set up new calls in the cell.
If adjacent cells that are candidates for handover are unable to provide the MS with a radio
resource, it is impossible for the MS to initiate a call. Handover of calls may be prevented.
This results in call blocking and loss.

Pegging
This statistic pegs when an Immediate Assignment Reject message is sent to the MS on CCCH
thus indicating that there are no channels available for assignment in the cell.

Analysis
This statistic can be used for trend analysis of the number of times channel access has been
denied. This information can be used to determine the requirement for additional resources.

CLR_REQ_TO_MSC

CLR_REQ_TO_MSC

Description
The CLR_REQ_TO_MSC statistic separately tracks the number of Clear Request messages sent
to the MSC for SDCCH and TCH resources.

Generating
The Clear Request message may be generated due to one of the following:

No radio resources available to allocate from the BSS, call queuing is enabled, and the
maximum call delay has been exceeded.

Radio interface message failure.

Protocol error.

Ciphering algorithm not supported.

Sending
All Clear Requests are sent per GSM 8.08 specifications. The Clear Request messages are sent to
the MSC because of radio channel failure or a timeout during a procedure. In this case a timeout
means that a required message was not received during a procedure. The procedures are:

Immediate Assignment.

Assignment.

Channel Mode Modify.

Ciphering.

Handover - Intra-cell, Inter-cell, and External.

Pegging
This statistic pegs when the BSS sends a Clear Request message to the MSC.
CLR_REQ_TO_MSC is pegged for numerous reasons related to timer expiry. It is a mix of both
the GSM and internal Motorola timers. Normal release of a call either from an MS or Land site
never causes it to be pegged. A call must have at least been assigned to an SDCCH or TCH
for this to be pegged. It is not pegged when on an AGCH overload. RF loss is the major cause
of pegging.

This statistic pegs when the MSC sends the BSS an SCCP Connection Refused (CREF) message.
The MSC may send an SCCP Connection Refused message in response to a BSS generated SCCP
Connection Request (CR) message, as a result of:

MS access for a location update.

MS originated call establishment.

MS terminated call establishment.

SMS activity.

Supplementary service activity.

IMSI detach.

Call reestablishment.

For example, if an association exists for the identity of the MS requesting a connection, the
connection request is refused, and this statistic pegs.
Analyze MSC statistics to determine why the CONN_REFUSED statistic is pegged.

NOTE
Some MSCs may generate a Connection Refused Message during a successful IMSI
Detach rather than a Connection Confirm, so a high value for the CONN_REFUSED
statistic cannot indicate a system problem. The MSC performance during IMSI Detach
procedures should be investigated before interpreting the CONN_REFUSED statistic.

HO_REQ_MSC_FAIL

HO_REQ_MSC_FAIL

Description
The HO_REQ_MSC_FAIL statistic tracks the number of handover request failure messages
sent to the MSC, except for, no channel resources available. This message is sent to notify
the MSC that the BSS could not reserve the radio resource that the MSC requested in the
Handover Request message.

Pegging
This statistic pegs in the source or target cell depending on where the failure occurs.
This statistic pegs in the source cell if the handover failure originates from the MS. This
indicates that the MS has reverted back to its original channel.
This statistic pegs in the target cell if the handover failure message originates from the target
cell. This could indicate one of the following problems: terrestrial circuit unavailable, terrestrial
circuit in use, ciphering algorithm not supported, or radio resources unavailable.
This statistic is not pegged if resources are not available in the target cell.

Analysis
A threshold value should be assigned to this statistic which reflects the maximum number of
handover failures for any reason other than lack of channel resources that are acceptable in
normal system operations.
If the specified threshold is exceeded, the 18. CELL: HO failure to the MSC due to
all possible errors except no channels - PM alarm is generated. Refer to the manual

Pegging
This statistic pegs when the BSS initiates the channel assignment procedure by sending an
Assignment Command to the MS on the main SDCCH. Assignment Command is sent to the MS
at call setup (traffic channel assignment) and at intra-cell handovers. This causes the MS to:

Release its link layer connections.

Disconnect from its current physical channels.

Switch to the assigned channels.

Initiate re-establishment of the lower layer connections.

MA_FAIL_FROM_MS

Description
The MA_FAIL_FROM_MS statistic tracks the number of Assignment Failure messages received
from MSs. An Assignment Failure message can be received at call setup (traffic channel
assignment) and at intra cell handovers.

Pegging
This statistic pegs when the BSS receives an Assignment Failure message from the MS. If the
MS detects a lower layer failure on the new channels before the Assignment Complete message
has been sent:

It deactivates the new channels.

Reactivates the old channels.

Reconnects any TCHs.

Triggers establishment of the main signaling link.

It then sends the Assignment Failure message on the main DCCH. This statistic pegs for
channel assignment failures at intra-cell handovers for new calls and channel assignment
failures at handover.

Analysis
A threshold value should be assigned to this statistic which reflects the maximum number of
assignment failures for MSs that are acceptable in normal system operations.
If the specified threshold is exceeded, the 23. CELL: Mobile assignment failure from MS
- PM alarm is generated. Refer to the manual Maintenance Information: Alarm Handling at

MA_CMD_TO_MS_BLKD

Chapter 4: Cell statistics

MA_CMD_TO_MS_BLKD

Description
The MA_CMD_TO_MS_BLKD statistic tracks the number of times an assignment request from
the MSC could not be processed (assignment command could not be generated and sent to the
MS) as there were no traffic channels available at the cell due to congestion or lack of essential
resources, for instance, extended timeslots.

Pegging
This statistic is pegged by the BSS when the MSC requests the BSS to allocate radio resource to
an MS, and the BSS finds it has no channels available to allocate. The pegging of this statistic
indicates no channels were available in the currently allocated cell. It is indicated by an
Assignment Failure message with cause: No radio resource available.
The statistic is pegged into appropriate bin when the BSP CPU is overloaded.
If queuing is enabled the statistic is pegged when the BSS queuing related timer bss_t11
expires. If the BSS assignment_successful timer is set shorter than the BSS bssmap_t11 timer
then this statistic is not pegged. It is recommended that the assignment_successful timer be
always set greater than the bssmap_t11 timer.

Analysis
A threshold value should be assigned to this statistic which reflects the maximum number of
times traffic channels that may be congested due to a lack of radio resources that are acceptable
in normal system operations.
The alarm, CELL: Mobile Assign Command to MS Blocked (No Channel Available) - PM
is raised if the threshold for bin 0 is reached.
The alarm CELL: Mobile Assign Command to MS Blocked BSP CPU Overload - PM is
raised if the threshold for bin 1 is reached. The procedure for PM alarm process is followed
by these two alarms.

available for an emergency call. This situation arises if all TCHs are occupied and an emergency
access requires a channel. This statistic pegs only if the emergency preemption feature is
enabled.

Analysis
This statistic can be used for trend analysis of the number of times that calls are lost due
to emergency call preemption only.

NUM_EMERG_TERM_SDCCH

Description
The NUM_EMERG_TERM_SDCCH statistic tracks the number of emergency accesses
terminated after SDCCH congestion. Used to indicate that an emergency call was allocated an
SDCCH but could not be allocated a TCH.

Pegging
This statistic pegs each time an emergency call is assigned to an SDCCH but must be terminated
because no TCHs are available to complete the call. This statistic is pegged regardless of the
status of the emergency preemption feature.

Analysis
This statistic can be used for trend analysis of the number of times that emergency accesses are
terminated after SDCCH congestion.

CS pages discarded.

PS pages discarded.

This statistic is obtained by measuring the number of Paging requests, which are discarded from
the PCH queue before they could be transmitted. Pages can be discarded from the queues
(assuming that queuing is in operation) for some reasons, including queue overflow, priority
insertion in the queue causing an overflow and in-queue timer expiry.

Pegging
This statistic pegs each time a page from the MSC is overwritten while in the queue.
The statistic also pegs for CS and PS pages as well as the assignments which the BSS was
going to send over the PCH.

Analysis
A threshold value should be assigned to this statistic which reflects the maximum number of
paging messages that may be discarded from the PCH queue that are acceptable in normal
system operations.

PFC_ADMISSION_TRAFFIC_CLASS

PFC_ADMISSION_TRAFFIC_CLASS

Description
The PFC_ADMISSION_TRAFFIC_CLASS statistic is pegged upon successful admission of a
PFC. The PFC may have to be self downgraded for admission. Based on the traffic class of the
PFC after admission the bins are pegged. No bins are pegged when QoS is disabled.

Pegging
Bin 0 is not pegged when Streaming is disabled. The Conversational PFCs is admitted as the
Streaming traffic class and pegged in bin 0. The Best Effort and PFC_unaware are pegged
in the same bin, since if PFC_unaware MS arrives in downlink first and its downlink data is
tagged with PFI of 0, BSS has to peg its admission under the PFC as Best Effort.

PFC_REJECTION_TRAFFIC_CLASS

PFC_REJECTION_TRAFFIC_CLASS

Description
The PFC_REJECTION_TRAFFIC_CLASS statistic is pegged for unsuccessful admissions of
PFCs. The bins are pegged based on the traffic class of PFC. No bins are pegged when QoS is
disabled. Bin 0 is not pegged when Streaming is disabled. The Conversational PFCs can only be
admitted as Streaming traffic class and are pegged in bin 0 if the admission is unsuccessful. The
Best Effort and PFC_unaware are pegged in the same bin, since if PFC_unaware MS arrives
in downlink first and its downlink data is tagged with PFI of 0, BSS has to peg its rejection
under the PFC as Best Effort.

Pegging
The PFC_REJECTION_TRAFFIC_CLASS statistic is pegged for unsuccessful admissions of
PFCs. The bin pegged depends on the PFC type as shown inTable 4-60.

Description
The RSS_ALLOC_RESERVE_BLOCK statistic gives the reduction in the number of Packet
Uplink Assignments (PUA) in response to Packet Resource Request (PRR) following software
upgrade.
The RSS_ALLOC_RESERVE_BLOCK statistic is used to account for the change in the system
behavior with software upgrade. With the new cell statistic, the formula for evaluating the
two-phase access-success-rate accounts for the fact that not all single blocks request for a
two-phase access. The formula is defined by the key statistic UL_TBF_SUCCESS_RATE.

TCH_DELAY

TCH_DELAY

Description
The TCH_DELAY statistic tracks the mean delay and the statistical distribution of the delay
between an assignment request or handover request and a TCH being allocated for each cell
on the BSS.
As more calls (in proportion to the total number of calls) are queued, the mean delay is longer.
Queuing is only done if the assignment or Handover Request indicates that queuing is allowed
for that request. This statistic measures the queuing delay effectively. It is possible to have
assignments and handovers for which there is no delay in resource allocation. These no-delay
assignments are included in the mean delay statistic.

Pegging
A timer is started when the request is queued and stopped when the request is allocated.

Analysis
This statistic can be used for trend analysis of the queuing delay for a traffic channel being
allocated to a cell.

TCH_PREEMPT_ATMPT

Description
The TCH_PREEMPT_ATMPT statistic tracks the number of times the TCH preemption
mechanism is successful in finding and releasing resource(s) to satisfy a preempting
request. A single preempting request may preempt up to two active candidates to satisfy
the incoming request. For example, an FR only request preempts two HR candidates. The
TCH_PREEMPT_ATMPT statistic also captures the service type of the request causing the
preemption and the service type(s) of the preempted candidates.

Pegging
The TCH_PREEMPT_ATMPT statistic is split into four bins which are pegged depending on
the type of service triggering the preemption and the type of service being preempted. Details

TCH_PREEMPT_NO_Q_ALLOC

Description
This statistic tracks the number of times the TCH preemption mechanism successfully allocates
a traffic channel after TCH preemption without queuing has been triggered. This statistic
contributes to the overall TCH blocking rate calculation.

Pegging
The BSS pegs the TCH_PREEMPT_NO_Q_ALLOC statistic when the BSS successfully allocates
a TCH after triggering TCH preemption without external queuing.
There are two bins:

TCH_PREEMPT_NO_Q_ALLOC_ALL: Counts all successful TCH allocation after


preemption without external queuing in either zone.

TCH_PREEMPT_NO_Q_ALLOC_IZ: Counts all successful TCH allocation after preemption


without external queuing in the inner zone.

Successful TCH allocation after preemption without external queuing in the outer
zone can be calculated by subtracting the TCH_PREEMPT_NO_Q_ALLOC_IZ from
TCH_PREEMPT_NO_Q_ALLOC_ALL.

TCH_USAGE

TCH_USAGE

Description
The TCH_USAGE statistic gives an indication of the total amount of traffic carried by the cell.
Active means connected (capable of transmitting circuit mode user data) and activated, for
example, used as a DCCH.
The TCH_USAGE statistic is used only for outer zone resources when TCH usage is being
measured for Concentric Cells.
The TCH_USAGE statistic measures only the usage of normal range channels in Extended
Range Cells.
Both TCH_USAGE and BUSY_TCH include the guard timer value. This is a counter value. The
sum equals the amount of time in milliseconds the TCH was busy, kept by internal timers.
Therefore, when the interval expires, TCH usage cannot be reported until the next interval.
Exercise caution if using this value over short interval periods. For example:

Interval 0 starts.

TCH 0 starts call - internal timer starts.

TCH 1 starts call - internal timer starts.

TCH 0 ends call - internal timer stops.

TCH_USAGE counter incremented by time.

Difference for TCH 0.

Interval 0 expires.

The value reported for the interval only includes the call for TCH0.

Interval 1 starts.

TCH 1 ends a call - internal timer stopped.

TCH_USAGE counter incremented by time.

Difference for TCH 1.

Pegging
This statistic is the sum of the time that each TCH was active with a call for all TCHs on the cell.
If a TCH is reconfigured as an SDCCH, only the SDCCH statistics are configured.

Neighbor statistics

When the BSS is configured to control inter-cell handovers and events occurring in the network
assist cell, there are statistics which may be used to track these events.
The inter-cell handover statistics provide the destination cell of an outgoing handover or the
origination cell of an incoming handover. The statistics also track handover information for a
pair of source and neighbor cells.
Neighbor statistics are described in Introduction to neighbor statistics on page 5-2.

Introduction to neighbor statistics

Chapter 5: Neighbor statistics

Introduction to neighbor statistics

The following terms are used in the description of neighbor cells:

Source cell - the cell in which a handover is initiated. Each source cell may have up to
32 target (neighbor) cells.

Target cell - the neighbor cell into which the MS may be handed over. There is no limit on
the number of source cells that may handover calls to a target cell.

The following limitations apply to neighbor statistics:

Each neighbor statistic can be enabled for a maximum of 16 cells in a BSS. The cells for
which each of the statistics are enabled do not have to be the same.
When the copy_cell command is used to copy a cell for which one or more of the neighbor
statistics is enabled, all the statistics for the cell created by the copy_cell command is
disabled. The individual statistics for the new cell are enabled individually including the
neighbor statistics.

IN_INTRA_BSS_NC_ATMPT and IN_INTRA_BSS_NC_SUC statistics are incremented in


the target cell and can only be pegged for up to 32 source cells.

OUT_HO_NC_CAUSE_ATMPT and OUT_HO_NC_SUC statistics are incremented in the


source cell and can only be pegged for up to 32 target cells.

If the BSS is configured to have the MSC control intra-BSS handovers, the incoming per
cell statistics are affected, and cannot be used to track handovers.

Outgoing neighbor cell statistics


Outgoing neighbor statistics track the number of attempted and successful handovers from a
source cell into a neighbor cell. The outgoing neighbor statistics are:

OUT_HO_NC_CAUSE_ATMPT on page 5-13.

OUT_HO_NC_SUC on page 5-15.

Example of tracked statistics


In this example, cell_0 has 32 neighbors (cell_1 through cell_32), and the
OUT_HO_NC_CAUSE_ATMPT statistic is enabled at cell_0.
The BSS tracks the intra-BSS handover attempts originating in cell_0 that hand into cell_1
through cell_32.

Example showing effects of the del_neighbor command


If the del_neighbor command is used to delete one of the neighbor cells of a source cell, only
the statistics for the remaining neighbor cells are pegged.

68P02901W56-T

Maintenance information: GSM Statistics Application

Incoming neighbor statistics

In this example, cell_0 has 32 neighbors (cell_1 through cell_32), and the
OUT_HO_NC_CAUSE_ATMPT statistic is enabled at cell_0. The del_neighbor command is
used to delete cell_32 as a neighbor cell of cell_0.
The BSS tracks intra-BSS handover attempts originating in cell_0 that hand into cell_1 through
cell_31.

Example showing effects of the add_neighbor command


If the del_neighbor command is used to delete one of the neighbor cells of a source cell, only
the statistics for the remaining neighbor cells are pegged.
In this example, cell_0 has 31 neighbors (cell_1 through cell_31), and the
OUT_HO_NC_CAUSE_ATMPT statistic is enabled at cell_0. The add_neighbor command is
used to add cell_32 as a neighbor cell of cell_0.
The BSS tracks intra-BSS handover attempts originating in cell_0 that hand into cell_1 through
cell_32.

Incoming neighbor statistics


Incoming neighbor statistics track the number of attempted and successful handovers into a
neighbor cell from a source cell. Handovers are tracked for only 32 cells for each neighbor cell,
even if a neighbor cell has more than 32 source cells. The incoming neighbor statistics are:

IN_INTRA_BSS_NC_ATMPT on page 5-8.

IN_INTRA_BSS_NC_SUC on page 5-9.

Choosing source cells


An algorithm chooses which source cells to track for the incoming neighbor statistics. The
source cells are chosen with the following priority:

Reciprocal neighbors are chosen. A reciprocal neighbor occurs when both the source cell
and the target cell have each other as a neighbor.

Each cell is sequentially checked, starting at 0 (local cell ID), until a source which has
not been selected is found.

Effect of the del_neighbor or add_neighbor commands


When neighbor cells are added or deleted from a cell in which the incoming neighbor statistics
are enabled, the following checks are performed:

If the cell is tracking 32 source cells, no changes are made.

If the cell is not tracking 32 source cells, a check is done to see if new ones can be tracked.

If new source cells can be added, reciprocal neighbors are added first, followed by
non-reciprocal neighbors, which are chosen by sequentially looking through the database.

Incoming neighbor statistics

Chapter 5: Neighbor statistics

Example of tracked statistics


In this example, the BSS has 90 cells (cell_0 through cell_89), cell_1 through cell_10 have cell_0
as a neighbor, and the IN_INTRA_BSS_NC_ATMPT statistic is enabled at cell_0.
The BSS tracks intra-BSS handover attempts that hand into cell_0 originating from cell_1
through cell_10.

Example of when there are more than 32 neighbor cells


In this example, the network has 50 cells. Cell_0 has cell_1 through cell_16 as neighbors. Cell_1
through cell_50 each have cell_0 as a neighbor. The incoming neighbor statistics are enabled at
cell_0. While cell_1 through cell_50 can hand into cell_0, the BSS can only track 32 of these cells.
The reciprocal neighbors (cell_1 through cell_16) are chosen for tracking first. Because another
16 cells may be tracked, cell_17 through cell_32 are chosen. Cell_33 through cell_50 are not
tracked because the 32 cell limit has been reached.

Example of when a reciprocal neighbor is added


In this example, the network has 50 cells. Cell_0 has cell_1 through cell_16 as neighbors. Cell_1
through cell_50 each have cell_0 as a neighbor. The incoming neighbor statistics are enabled at
cell_0. While cell_1 through cell_50 can hand into cell_0, the BSS can only track 32 of these cells.
The reciprocal neighbors (cell_1 through cell_16) are chosen for tracking first. Because another
16 cells may be tracked, cell_17 through cell_32 are chosen. Cell_33 through cell_50 are tracked
because the 32 cell limit has been reached.
A new neighbor (cell_45) is added to cell_0. Cell_0 and cell_45 now make a reciprocal neighbor
pair. The cells being tracked is not changed just because a new reciprocal neighbor pair has
been added because it is at the maximum number of cells it can track.

Example of when a neighbor cell is deleted


In this example, the network has 50 cells. Cell_0 has cell_1 through cell_16 as neighbors. Cell_1
through cell_50 each have cell_0 as a neighbor. The incoming neighbor statistics are enabled at
cell_0. While cell_1 through cell_50 can hand into cell_0, the BSS can only track 32 of these cells.
The reciprocal neighbors (cell_1 through cell_16) are chosen for tracking first. Because another
16 cells may be tracked, cell_17 through cell_32 are chosen. Cell_33 through cell_50 are tracked
because the 32 cell limit has been reached.
A new neighbor (cell_45) is added to cell_0. Cell_0 and cell_45 now make a reciprocal neighbor
pair. The cells being tracked is not changed just because a new reciprocal neighbor pair has
been added because it is at the maximum number of cells it can track.
Neighbor cell_0 is deleted from cell_18. When this cell is deleted, cell_0 only tracks 31 source
cells. Because 32 cells may be tracked, a search is done to see if there are any reciprocal
neighbors.
Since cell_45 was added creating a reciprocal pair, cell_45 would now be tracked. If a reciprocal
pair had not been available, cell_33 would have been chosen as the next non-reciprocal source
not tracked.

BUSY_TCH_CARR

Chapter 6: Carrier and timeslot statistics

BUSY_TCH_CARR

Description
The BUSY_TCH_CARR statistic tracks the number of full rate and half rate TCHs allocated
during an interval.
This is a gauge statistic and produces a mean value indicating the average number of TCHs in
use during the interval. It is an indication of the average capacity for additional traffic in the
cell. This statistic includes TCHs used as a Dedicated Control CHannel (DCCH) in immediate
assignment mode. The BUSY_TCH_CARR time includes the guard time (the time allowed
between ending a call and starting another). Since the channel is not available to be used again
until the guard timer expires, it is not considered to be free until then.

Pegging
This statistic pegs when a change in the number of full rate and half rate TCHs in use are
detected.

Analysis
This statistic can be used for trend analysis of the amount of RF signaling traffic in the cell
TCHs. An analysis of the allocation information can be used to determine the requirement for
additional resources before problems occur.

CHAN_REQ_MS_FAIL

CHAN_REQ_MS_FAIL

Description
The CHAN_REQ_MS_FAIL statistic tracks the number of times the BSS times out while waiting
for the MS to establish on the TCH/SDCCH, that was assigned to it during the immediate
assignment procedure.
An Immediate Assign message is sent to the MS on the Access Grant Channel (AGCH) and a
TCH/SDCCH is allocated. When the MS does not reply with a SABM on that TCH/SDCCH, the
allocated channel is relinquished, and the request forgotten.
This may be a normal occurrence on few occasions such as, when the MS is moving out of range,
the MS is failing, or the MS is switched off. However, frequent occurrences of this event within
a short period and/or geographically clustered may indicate a hardware failure.

NOTE
CHAN_REQ_MS_FAIL is the BSS MMI name of the statistic kept by the BSS on a
per-timeslot level. The OMC-R rolls the information up to the cell level and refers
to this information as CHAN_REQ_MS_FAIL_ROLL.

Pegging
This statistic pegs when the MS does not reply with Set Asynchronous Balanced Mode (SABM)
on the TCH/SDCCH. The bin pegged depends on the channel type that the MS failed on as
shown in Table 6-2.

FER_AMR_FR

FER_AMR_FR

Description
The uplink FER_AMR_FR Quality statistic is derived from a ratio of successfully decoded
good speech frames against unsuccessfully decoded bad frames for AMR full- rate calls. The
measurement period over which the calculation is made is a multiple of 480 ms.
During this FER measuring period, a multiple of 24 speech frames are decoded and the ratio is
calculated. The multiple is configured through the fer_meas_period parameter. The lookup
table is constructed based on the fer_meas_period parameter value. The ratio is converted to a
FER_AMR_FR Quality number between 0 and 9 using the lookup table.
For example:

If fer_meas_period = 1, two bad frames out of 24 result in a ratio of 0.083:1. From


Table 6-4, this relates to an FER_AMR_FR Quality number of 2.

If fer_meas_period= 2, then 2 bad frames out of 48 (24*2) result in a ratio of 0.0417:1.


From Table 6-4, this relates to an FER_AMR_FR Quality number of 2 (the ratio range is
from 0.0832/2 to 0.1240/2).

Pegging
This statistic pegs the uplink frame erasure rate for AMR full-rate calls for each carrier in a cell.

INTF_ON_IDLE

Chapter 6: Carrier and timeslot statistics

INTF_ON_IDLE

Description
The INTF_ON_IDLE statistic indicates the maximum, minimum, and mean interference levels
experienced on idle channels as determined by the BSS.
The bin ranges may be changed using the chg_stat_prop command. The default bin ranges for
the INTF_ON_IDLE statistic are shown in Table 6-11.

Table 6-12 provides an indication of the interference on a channel by recording the


measurements of the received signal strength taken when the channel is idle. This measurement
parallels the activity of the channel selection algorithm of the Cell Resource Manager which
uses the same data to rank idle channels, giving preference to the channels with a lower
interference level. The measured signal level is mapped to an RXLEV value between 0 and 63.
Each RXLEV value corresponds to a dBm value, as shown in Table 6-12.

PATH_BALANCE

Chapter 6: Carrier and timeslot statistics

PATH_BALANCE

Description
The PATH_BALANCE statistic tracks the maximum, minimum, and mean link balance on the air
interface between the uplink and downlink path loss.

NOTE
The actual value for path_balance depends on the type of RF combining used.

Pegging
This statistic is pegged by the value calculated by the following equation:
path_balance = path loss + 110
where:
path loss = uplink path loss - downlink path loss
where:
uplink path loss = actual MS txpower - RXLEV_ul
downlink path loss = actual BTS txpower - RXLEV_dl

NOTE
The RXLEV_ul and RXLEV_dl values reflect the latest reported value and are not
averaged values. PATH_BALANCE is not pegged when either RXLEV_ul or RXLEV_dl
is equal to 63 (-47 dBm).
The range of values for this statistic is 0 to 220 with a long-term average of 110 with normal
use. A deviation of 10 is acceptable, but this is to be understood as a practical guide and not
as product tolerance. If the deviation is greater than 10, the RF path should be checked.

NOTE
If a low noise amplifier (LNA) is fitted, a deviation of -20 is possible.

The critical-overload state of a BSP board occurs when BSP CPU utilization is above the
BSP critical-overload threshold.
The BSP overload protection mechanism attempts to move the BSP from critical-overload
state into safe-overload state by dropping non-imperative handover messages from the BTS
and rejecting assignment request from MSC.
The PROCESSOR_CRITICAL_OVERLOAD statistic provides a measurement of total time of a
processor working in critical-overload state.

Pegging
This statistic is started when the BSP CPU utilization is above the BSP critical-overload
threshold, and the statistic is stopped when BSP CPU utilization falls below the BSP
critical-overload threshold.

Analysis
This statistic provides a measurement of total time of a processor working in critical-overload
state.

LMTP_LOCAL_SL_CONGESTION

Chapter 9: LMTL statistics

LMTP_LOCAL_SL_CONGESTION

Description
The LMTP_LOCAL_SL_CONGESTION statistic tracks once for each onset of congestion across
the Lb-interface Signaling Link (SL).
There are two types of congestion that may occur across a Lb interface SL: local congestion (that
is, the MTP L2 of the BSS detects that the TX queue is full) and remote congestion (that is, the
BSS-based SMLC is congested). Both types of congestion may exist across a Lb-interface SL at
one time; however, regardless of congestion type, the statistic is pegged only upon the entrance
into the congested state of the Lb-interface SL. Thus, if the Lb-interface SL is locally congested
and remote congestion is detected, the statistic is not pegged. Likewise, if the Lb-interface SL is
remotely congested and local congestion is detected, the statistic is not pegged.

Pegging
The statistic pegs each time the Lb-interface SL goes into the congestion state at the local site.

Analysis
A threshold value should be assigned to this statistic which reflects the maximum number of
congestion onsets that are acceptable in normal system operations.
If the specified threshold is exceeded, the 12. LMTL:SL Congestion Indications - PM
alarm is generated.

LAP-D_CONGESTION

LAP-D_CONGESTION

Description
The LAP-D_CONGESTION statistic tracks the time that the LAP-D link is congested. This
indicates the time period in milliseconds when the sending speed of the BSC/BTS processes
is more than the link transmit capability and provides a way of monitoring when more links
need to be added.

NOTE

The exec-dlsp process has a bigger buffer to hold outgoing messages therefore
the messages are not dropped even during the congestion period.

The LAP-D_CONGESTION statistic is not applicable to OML link.

Pegging
This statistic pegs when the transmit buffer gets full and stops when the buffer is available again.

RSL_RX_OCTETS

RSL_RX_OCTETS

Description
The RSL_RX_OCTETS statistic collects the total length of octets transmitted over the RSL link
from BTS to BSC when the RSL link is in service within a predefined interval.

Pegging
The BSC collects the octets transmitted over an RSL uplink when an RSL link is in service. This
statistic provides a cumulative length of octets transmitted over an RSL link from BTS to BSC.

NOTE
The octets count for pre GPROC3-2 boards (not including retransmissions and
supervisory frames) is based on payload and LAP-D header information. This does not
apply to GPROC3-2 boards as the LAP-D protocol is provided by software.

GBL statistics
The GBL device refers to the configured number of time slots on an E1 link between the PCU
and the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN). This interface is referred to as the Gb interface.
The Gb interface allows many users to be multiplexed over a common physical resource. GPRS
signaling and user data are sent on the same physical resource; that is, no dedicated physical
resources are allocated for signaling purposes.

Description
The DL_BLER_CS1 statistic indicates the number of times, measured at statistical intervals,
the BLER of a particular carrier, when using coding scheme 1 to transmit in the downlink
direction, falls into the given range. Each bin represents a range of percentage BLER, with high

One unit represents 10 DL BLER calculations. For a given carrier using coding scheme 1
in downlink transfer, the calculation is done by using a weighted algorithm that applies on
Ack/Nack bitmaps obtained from currently and previously received PDAK by the PCU. 10X+Y
(1<=Y<=10) calculations is represented as X+1.
The range is 0 to 9,000. PDAKs can be received as frequently as once in every two blocks. So in a
one hour period, there is a maximum of 3,600,000 ms/(2x20 ms) = 90,000 PDAKs being received.
Thus there is at the most 90,000 calculations, and the maximum value is 9,000 for each bin.

DL_BLER_MCS1

Chapter 13: PCU statistics

DL_BLER_MCS1

Description
The DL_BLER_MCS2 statistic indicates the number of times, measured at statistical intervals,
the BLER of a particular carrier, when using EGPRS modulation coding scheme 1 to transmit in
the downlink direction, falls into the given range. Each bin represents a range of percentage
BLER, with high value of the range indicated in the bin name.
The statistic is not available if the EGPRS feature is disabled.

Pegging
Each bin represents the different range of BLER:

30%, < 40%

40%, 100%

One unit represents 10 DL BLER calculations. For a given carrier using EGPRS modulation
coding scheme 1 in downlink transfer, the calculation is done by using a weighted algorithm
that applies on Ack/Nack bitmaps obtained from currently and previously received PDAK by the
PCU. 10X+Y (1<=Y<=10) calculations is represented as X+1.
The range is 0 to 9,000. PDAKs can be received as frequently as once in every two blocks. So in a
one hour period, there is a maximum of 3,600,000ms/(2x20ms) = 90,000 PDAKs being received.
Thus there is at the most 90,000 calculations, and the maximum value is 9,000 for each bin.

DL_PDTCH_Q_LENGTH

DL_PDTCH_Q_LENGTH

Description
This statistic is obtained by sampling the Downlink Request Queue. A Downlink Request is
triggered on arrival of LLC-PDUs at the PCU.

Pegging
This statistic pegs every 20 ms. It is incremented when a request is added to the queue and is
decremented when a request is processed, that is, it leaves the queue.

NOTE
This statistic is pegged for both the GPRS and EGPRS events.

Analysis
This statistic can be used for the trend analysis of the average number of downlink messages
waiting for a PDTCH to become available.

DL_PDTCH_SEIZURE

Chapter 13: PCU statistics

DL_PDTCH_SEIZURE

Description
This statistic measures the successful Packet Data Traffic Channel (PDTCH) seizure on the
downlink. This statistic counts the number of TBF(s) on the downlink. The statistic is obtained by
measuring the receipt of the first RLC block (PDU) on the PDTCH from the network (downlink).
To see the relationship between the MS, BSS, and MSC for this statistic, refer to Throughput
statistics on page 19-87.

Pegging
This statistic is pegged each time a DL TBF is successfully established and the MS is listening
on the PDTCH. Specifically, it is pegged when the network receives the first DAK from the MS.

NOTE
This statistic is pegged for both the GPRS and EGPRS events.

Analysis
This statistic can be used for the trend analysis of the total number of TBFs on the downlink
for a CELL.

DL_RADIO_BLKS_1_TS

Description
The DL_RADIO_BLKS_1_TS statistic counts the total number of RLC radio blocks sent to the
MSs that support a maximum of 1 TS in the downlink direction.
One unit represents 100 RLC radio blocks. The maximum statistical interval is 60 minutes. The
translation of the actual radio blocks counted to units is performed at the end of the interval.
The RLC radio blocks are split into the four GPRS channel coding schemes and the nine EGPRS
coding schemes, as shown in Table 13-24.

DL_RLC_STALLED_BLKS

Description
The DL_RLC_STALLED_BLKS statistic measures the total number of RLC blocks retransmitted
due to an RLC window stall. That is, if the window is stalled, all DL radio blocks sent during
this period are pegged as stalled. Stalled blocks supersede other types of transmissions of
NEW, NACK, and RETX blocks. For example, a NACK data block sent during a stalled window
condition is treated as a stalled block and gets pegged as such.
One unit represents 100 RLC radio blocks. The maximum statistical interval is 60 minutes. The
translation of actual radio blocks counted to units is done at the end of the interval.
The RLC radio blocks are split into the four GPRS channel coding schemes and the nine EGPRS

EGPRS_AVAIL_PDTCH

EGPRS_AVAIL_PDTCH

Description
The EGPRS_AVAIL_PDTCH statistic measures the mean and MAX number of available EGPRS
Packet Data Traffic CHannels (PDTCH).

NOTE
The available PDTCH number may increase as the additional switchable PDTCH is
allocated for GPRS congested cell.
This statistic is obtained by maintaining the current and the total number of available EGPRS
PDTCHs and the amount of time each is available over the statistical period. The PDTCH is
available when its administrative state is unlocked or shutting down and the operational state is
enabled. It is unavailable when its administrative state changes to locked or the operational
state changes to disabled. The available EGPRS PDTCH counts both reserved PDTCHs and
switchable PDTCHs that are configured for use as an EGPRS PDTCHs.

Pegging
This statistic pegs whenever there is a change in the channel configuration for any channel in
the cell (if the number of EGPRS PDTCHs has not changed within the current pegging interval,
it is pegged with the same value as before).

NOTE
This statistic counts the number of time slots available for GPRS. It treats
PBCCH/PCCCH TS the same as regular PDTCH TS, which means that each TS is
counted as 1, even though 4 MS can share a regular TS, while a PBCCH/PCCCH
TS can only be shared by 2 MS.

GPRS_AVAIL_PDTCH

GPRS_AVAIL_PDTCH

NOTE
This statistic was previously named AVAILABLE_PDTCH.

Description
This statistic measures the mean and maximum number of available Packet Data Traffic
CHannels (PDTCH).

NOTE
The available PDTCH number may increase as the additional switchable PDTCH is
allocated for GPRS congested cell.
This statistic considers a PBCCH/PCCCH timeslot as a PDTCH. Therefore, these are recorded by
the statistic in its total number of available channels.
This statistic is obtained by maintaining the current and the total number of available PDTCH
and the amount of time each PDTCH is available over the statistical period. The corresponding
mean and maximum number of PDTCH are then computed. The PDTCH is available when its
administrative state is unlocked or shutting down and the operational state is enabled. It is
unavailable when its administrative state changes to locked or the operational state changes to
disabled. The available number of PDTCH is then incremented or decremented when there
is a change in PDTCH states as described above. The available PDTCH counts both reserved
PDTCHs and switchable PDTCHs that are configured as PDTCHs and not as TCHs.
The number of PDTCH = Number of switchable PDTCHs (configured as PDTCHs) + Number
of reserved PDTCHs

Pegging
The statistic pegs whenever there is a change in the channel configuration for any channel in
the cell (if the number of PDTCHs has not changed within the current pegging interval, it is
pegged with the same value as before).

NOTE
This statistic counts the number of timeslots available for GPRS. It treats
PBCCH/PCCCH TS the same as regular PDTCH TS, which means that each TS is
counted as 1, even though 4 MS can share a regular TS, while a PBCCH/PCCCH
TS can be shared only by 2 MS.

GPRS_CELL_CONGESTION

GPRS_CELL_CONGESTION

Description
The GPRS_CELL_CONGESTION statistic indicates the number of times, measured each 6
second interval, that the percentage of GPRS timeslot resources in use falls into the given
range. A high congestion rate indicates the low possibility for the system to establish new TBFs.
The distribution information of this statistic illustrates the average packet traffic situation, and
hence can be used to optimize the cell planning and resource allocation. Each bin represents a
percentage congestion range, with high value of the range indicated in the bin name.

NOTE
This statistic also includes information of the EGPRS system should the EGPRS
feature be enabled.

Usage

The statistic is used for monitoring areas where lots of calls originate: the
operator may wish to charge more for calls made in these high-traffic zones.
It is also used for monitoring the number of calls undergoing
re-establishment. High numbers of calls undergoing re-establishment
means the RF coverage in an area may have a hole.
Comparing the uplink against downlink GPRS usage tells the operator how
to set the Beta value for a cell (Interleaving TBFs feature). This allows
for better throughput based upon the MS subscriber preferences in any
particular area.

PRP_LOAD

Chapter 13: PCU statistics

PRP_LOAD

Description
This statistic measures the load of the Packet Resource Processor (PRP), PXP baseboard, or
PPROC for PRP processing. According to the capacity requirements, the BSS transfers data for
a certain number of timeslots out of all the timeslots in a PRP, PXP baseboard, or PPROC, as well
as process control messages for rest of timeslots in one 20 millisecond block period. The load of
the PRP, PXP baseboard, or PPROC for PRP processing is determined by measuring the number
of timeslots pending service for data transfers within a 20 millisecond block period.
The number of timeslots pending service increases by one whenever a timeslot is allocated to
the first UL or DL TBF and it decreases by one whenever all UL and DL TBFs on a timeslot are
released or re-allocated to other PRP boards. The statistic value also changes accordingly.
If the PRP load is 100% in prp_fanout_mode=1, it means that 30 timeslots are pending
service. Although the number of timeslots pending service can further increase, the total PRP
throughput does not increase. The maximum PRP load is 400%, which means that a total of
120 timeslots are pending service.
Table 13-55 shows the mapping between the number of timeslots pending service and the
PRP load.
The statistic is kept on a per DPROC basis. The mapping between the number of pending
timeslots service and the prp_load depending on the value of prp_fanout_mode and the
DPROC type are shown in Table 13-55 and Table 13-56.

This statistic is pegged for both GPRS and EGPRS events.

Analysis
This statistic measures the load of the PRP, PXP baseboard, or PPROC for PRP processing. The
load of the PRP, PXP baseboard, or PPROC for PRP processing is determined by measuring the
number of pending timeslots service for data transfers within a 20 millisecond block period.
This statistic can be used for trend analysis of the network load on a PRP board. Each bin can be
analyzed to determine the number of occurrences the PRP had a certain percentage of load on it.

One unit represents 10 UL BLER calculations. For a given carrier using coding scheme
1 in uplink transfer, the calculation is done by using the following equation whenever a
PUA/PTR/PUAK is sent by the PCU.

Uplink BLER =

data blocks not correctly received within a window


100
window size [in number of blocks]

The window is maintained by PCU as part of MS context. It is updated whenever a data block
is received or missed, and has a maximum size of 128. 10X+Y (1<=Y<=10) calculations is
represented as X+1.
The range is 0 to 18,000. The shortest period between two consecutive PUA/PTR/PUAK cannot
be accurately estimated. Two such messages may be scheduled by the system in a back to
back situation (for example, the next PUAK may be scheduled at the next block period of the
previous PUAK). So in a one hour period, there may be at most 3,600,000 ms or (1 x 20 ms)
= 180,000 PUA/PTR/PUAKs being sent. Thus there is at most 180,000 calculations, and the
maximum value is 18,000 for each bin.

UL_BLER_MCS1

UL_BLER_MCS1

Description
The UL_BLER_MCS1 statistic indicates the number of times, measured at statistical intervals,
the BLER of a particular carrier, when using EGPRS modulation coding scheme 1 to transmit
in the uplink direction, falls into the given range. Each bin represents a range of percentage
BLER, with high value of the range indicated in the bin name.
The statistic is not available if the EGPRS feature is disabled.

Pegging
Each bin represents the different range of BLER:

Table 13-61

15%, < 20%

20%, < 25%

25%, < 30%

30%, < 40%

40%, 100%

One unit represents 10 UL BLER calculations. For a given carrier using EGPRS modulation
coding scheme 1 in uplink transfer, the calculation is done by using the following equation
whenever a PUA/PTR/PUAK is sent by the PCU.

Uplink BLER =

data blocks not correctly received within a window


100
window size [in number of blocks]

The window is maintained by PCU as part of MS context. It is updated whenever a data block
is received or missed, and has a maximum size of 128. 10X+Y (1<=Y<=10) calculations is
represented as X+1.
The range is 0 to 18,000. The shortest period between two consecutive PUA/PTR/PUAK cannot
be accurately estimated. Two such messages may be scheduled by the system in a back to back
situation (for example, the next PUAK may be scheduled at the next block period of the previous
PUAK). So in a one hour period, there may be at most 3,600,000 ms or (1x20 ms) = 180,000
PUA/PTR/PUAKs being sent. Thus there is at most 180,000 calculations, and the maximum
value is 18,000 for each bin.

Description
This statistic measures the mean, maximum and minimum number of occupied Packet Data
CHannel (PDCH) carrying uplink packet traffic.

NOTE
The busy PDTCH number may increase as the additional switchable PDTCH is
allocated for GPRS congested cell.
This statistic is obtained by sampling the PDTCH, which are carrying packet traffic, at every
packet-scheduling period (20 millisecond).
Table 13-70 shows the ranges for each bin (measured in milliseconds).

The UL_CHANNEL_REQUESTS_SUCCESS_RATE key statistic monitors the success of uplink
channel requests. This is an important area as the MS needs to access the network before it
can exchange data. Low end-to-end throughput can be rooted in a low UL channel request
success rate.

NOTE
It is not possible to split this formula in a GPRS and an EGPRS part because
an EGPRS channel request might be served with GPRS resources, causing the

To see the relationship between the MS, BSS, and MSC for this statistic, refer to Throughput
statistics on page 19-87.

Pegging
This statistic pegs when the receipt of the first uplink RLC block (PDU) on the PDTCH from
the MS is obtained.
This statistic pegs when:

The first uplink data block is received during a two-phase uplink TBF establishment.

A first uplink data block containing a valid Temporary Logical Link Identity (TLLI) is
received during a one-phase uplink TBF establishment.

NOTE
This statistic is pegged for both GPRS and EGPRS events.

UL_RADIO_BLKS_8PSK_1_TS

Description
The UL_RADIO_BLKS_8PSK_1_TS statistic counts the total number of RLC radio blocks
received from EGPRS MSs capable of 8PSK on the uplink that support a maximum of 1 TS in the
uplink direction (MS multislot classes 1, 2, 4, and 8).
One unit represents 100 RLC radio blocks. The maximum recommended interval is 60 minutes.
The translation of actual radio blocks counted to units is performed at the end of the interval.
The RLC radio blocks are split into the four GPRS coding schemes (CS-1 through CS-4) and nine
EGPRS coding schemes (MCS-1 through MCS-9), as shown in Table 13-72.

UL_RLC_UNACK_NEW_BLKS

UL_RLC_UNACK_NEW_BLKS

Description
The UL_RLC_UNACK_NEW_BLKS statistic measures the total number of new RLC
unacknowledge mode blocks received by the PCU over the cell.
One unit represents 100 RLC radio blocks. The maximum statistical interval is 60 minutes. The
translation of actual radio blocks counted to units is performed at the end of the interval.
The RLC radio blocks are split into the four GPRS channel coding schemes and the nine EGPRS
coding schemes, as shown in Table 13-86.

UL_TBF_TIME_8PSK_1_TS

Chapter 13: PCU statistics

UL_TBF_TIME_8PSK_1_TS

Description
The UL_TBF_TIME_8PSK_1_TS statistic measures the duration in time (the cumulative length
in number of 20 ms radio block periods) of the uplink TBFs for EGPRS MSs that support a
maximum of 1 TS and capable of 8PSK in the uplink direction.
The UL_TBF_TIME_8PSK_1_TS statistic can be used in conjunction with
UL_RADIO_BLKS_8PSK_1_TS to calculate the effective uplink throughput per EGPRS terminal
type (MS multislot classes 1, 2, 4 and 8).

Pegging
This statistic pegs the time of all the TBFs in the uplink for MSs that support a maximum of
1 TS and capable of 8PSK in the uplink direction. At the end of the statistical interval this
statistic provides a cumulative value of all the UL TBF times for MSs supporting a maximum
of 1 TS. The TBF time starts with the set-up of the TBF and finishes when all the uplink RLC
radio blocks have been received without error.
This statistic also pegs for 8PSK MSs whose multislot class is not known before the end of the
UL TBF. The accuracy of this statistic may be reduced due to these unknown multi-slot cases.

BSS-based Serving Mobile Location Centre (SMLC) statistics are organized into two major
subgroups:

BSS C7 utilization on page 14-2.

SCCP performance and utilization on page 14-2.

BSS C7 utilization
BSS-based SMLC C7 utilization statistics track the number of messages received and
transmitted on the signaling links. This information indicates the activity level on the Signaling
Links (SLs). The following are BSS C7 utilization statistics:

L_SIF_SIO_RX_OPC on page 14-8.

L_SIF_SIO_TX_DPC on page 14-9.

L_SIF_SIO_TYPE on page 14-10.

SCCP performance and utilization


SCCP performance and utilization statistics track the performance of the Signaling Connection
Control Part (SCCP) protocol layer of the ITU-TSS C7.
The SCCP manages the establishment and release of call related connections. A connection is
established for each transaction. For example, location update and service request, both BSS,
and BSS-based SMLC maintain contexts related to the transaction; these contexts may be
identified using the SCCP reference number. This information indicates the performance level
and quality of the SCCP. The following are the SCCP performance and utilization statistics:

L_ROUTING_SYNTAX

L_ROUTING_SYNTAX

Description
This statistic tracks the number of SCCP messages with syntax errors.

Pegging
This statistic pegs when a syntax error is detected in an SCCP message on the Lb-interface.

Analysis
SCCP is an SS7 protocol used in transferring signaling messages between the BSC and
BSS-based SMLC. Excessive syntax errors can result in degraded SCCP performance.
A threshold value should be assigned to this statistic which reflects the maximum number of
SCCP messages with syntax errors that are acceptable in normal system operations.
If the specified threshold is exceeded, the 18. BSS: Routing failure - syntax error detected
(SMLC) - PM alarm is generated. Refer to the manual Maintenance Information: Alarm
Handling at the OMC-R (68P02901W26) for troubleshooting information.

Chapter 14: BSS-SMLC statistics

L_ROUTING_UNKNOWN

Description
This statistic tracks the number of invalid signaling point codes (SPCs) that a BSC has received
from the BSS-based SMLC.

Pegging
This statistic pegs whenever an invalid SPC is received from the BSS-based SMLC.

Analysis
An SPC is the destination address for a message routed by the networking functions of the MTP3
protocol. If the BSC receives an incorrect SPC, it cannot route the message correctly.
A threshold value should be assigned to this statistic which reflects the maximum number of
invalid SPCs that are acceptable in normal system operations.
If the specified threshold is exceeded, the 19. BSS: Routing failure - reason unknown
(SMLC) - PM alarm is generated. Refer to the manual Maintenance Information: Alarm

Call model statistics

Call model parameter values can be derived from the GSM network statistics collected at
the OMC-R.
All the statistics used for determining the call model parameters must be collected during busy
hours and averaged over a reasonable period (three months or more).
The call model parameters should be averaged over the entire network or at the BSC level
for equipment dimensioning purposes. This gives more scope of averaging out the load from
the network entities.
The following are call model statistics:

CALL_DURATION (T) on page 16-2.

CALL_SETUP_BLOCKING_RATE on page 16-3.

LOCATION_UPDATE_FACTOR (L)

LOCATION_UPDATE_FACTOR (L)

Description
This statistic is calculated using the ratio of location updates per call (l) and the ratio of IMSI
detaches per call (Id). For networks with IMSI detach disabled, the location update factor
equals the ratio of location updates per call (l).
IMSI detach types determine the way the MSC clears the connection with the BSS after
receiving the IMSI detach. When using IMSI detach type 1, the MSC clears the SCCP
connection, a clearing procedure that involves only one uplink (average size of 42 bytes) and
one downlink message (average size of 30 bytes). When using IMSI detach type 2, the MSC
sends the CLEAR COMMAND and the BSS sends CLEAR COMPLETE, and so on, which involves
three uplink (average size of 26 bytes) and three downlink messages (average size of 30 bytes).
A location update procedure itself takes five downlink messages (average size of 30 bytes) and
six uplink messages (average size of 26 bytes).
Hence, an IMSI detach (type1) takes a total of 2/11 (approximately 0.2) of the number of
messages as a location update and an IMSI detach (type 2) takes 6/11 (approximately 0.5) of
the messages of a location update.

Formula
If IMSI detach is enabled, then depending on whether short message sequence (type 1) or long
message sequence (type 2) is used, L is calculated as:

L = LOCATION_UPDATES_TO_CALLS (IMSI detach disabled that is Id=0)

L = LOCATION_UPDATES_TO_CALLS + 0.2* IMSI_DETACHES_TO_CALLS (type 1)

L = LOCATION_UPDATES_TO_CALLS + 0.5* IMSI_DETACHES_TO_CALLS (type 2)

Key statistics

Key statistics are a set of calculated values providing an operator with a summary of system
performance during a specific statistics collection interval. They are designed to give an overall
indication of the condition of the system and allow comparison of similar time periods to detect
performance changes and trends.
Key statistics are also provided to facilitate the monitoring of the most important network
parameters. Key statistics are calculated at the OMC-R using various BSS raw statistics.
Different statistics are combined at the OMC-R using a predefined formula to produce a new
statistic. For example, various handover failure statistics may be combined and averaged over
the total number of calls to produce a handover failure rate key statistic.
Key statistics may be displayed in the Performance Management window of the OMC-R.
They key statistics are categorized into subgroups, each of which are described in Key statistics
subgroups on page 17-2.

HANDOVER_FAILURE_RATE

HANDOVER_FAILURE_RATE

Description
The HANDOVER_FAILURE_RATE statistic tracks the percentage of handovers that are
attempted from the source cell (the cell for which the statistic is presented) that failed to
successfully reach the target cell and failed to successfully recover to the source cell, that is,
the handover failed and the call dropped. A handover attempt is counted when a handover
command is sent to the MS.
Congestion on the target cell does not result in the BSS sending a handover command to the MS
therefore this measurement is not impacted by target cell congestion.

(MTP LINK INS MTL LINK RATE)

NOTE
MTL_LINK_RATE is the bandwidth of MTL. It equals to MTL_Rate * 64. The MTL_Rate
indicates the number of DS0 channels equipped as MTL. For example, if MTL_Rate
is 1, it means one DS0 channel is equipped as MTL, the bandwidth of MTL is 1 * 64
kbps = 64 kbps. If MTL_Rate is 31, the whole span of E1 is equipped as MTL. This

(MTP LINK INS MTL LINK RATE)

NOTE
MTL_LINK_RATE is the bandwidth of MTL. It equals to MTL_Rate * 64. The MTL_Rate
indicates the number of DS0 channels equipped as MTL. For example, if MTL_Rate
is 1, it means one DS0 channel is equipped as MTL, the bandwidth of MTL is 1 * 64
kbps = 64 kbps. If MTL_Rate is 31, the whole span of E1 is equipped as MTL. This
formula is valid only when MTL_Rate is 31.

Chapter 17: Key statistics

UL_CHANNEL_REQUESTS_SUCCESS_RATE

Description
The UL_CHANNEL_REQUESTS_SUCCESS_RATE key statistic monitors the success of uplink
channel requests. This is an important area as the MS needs to access the network before it
can exchange data. Low end-to-end throughput can be rooted in a low UL channel request
success rate.

NOTE
It is not possible to split this formula in a GPRS and an EGPRS part because
an EGPRS channel request might be served with GPRS resources, causing the
CHANNEL_REQS_SUCCESS statistic to be pegged in a GPRS bin.

Network health reports

Network health statistics quantify BSS performance from a subscriber perspective. A


combination of raw and other network health statistics are used by the OMC-R to calculate
these statistics.
Network health statistics are available for display with the Cell device statistics in the OMC-R
Performance Management window.
They network health statistics are categorized into subgroups, each of which are described in

DROP_CALL_RATE

Chapter 18: Network health reports

DROP_CALL_RATE

Description
The DROP_CALL_RATE statistic tracks the percentage of MSs which have successfully
accessed a TCH, and experience an abnormal release caused by either radio or equipment
problems. This includes RF losses and losses during handovers.

NOTE
The frequency of dropped calls during inter BSS handovers are less compared to those
during intra BSS or intra cell handovers, or those unrelated to handovers. The impact
on the accuracy of statistics during inter BSS handovers is therefore relatively small.

RANKING_FORMULA

Chapter 18: Network health reports

RANKING_FORMULA

Description
The RANKING_FORMULA statistic provides a measure by which cells can be ranked by
performance. This permits cells requiring optimization to be identified. The value of this
statistic increases as cells have high calling volumes and low call success rates. High values for
this statistic indicate which cells which should be optimized first.
A combination of the CALL_SUCCESS_RATE and CALL_SETUP_SUCCESS_RATE network
health statistics is used to calculate this statistic. The raw statistics used to calculate these
health statistics are included in the raw statistics listing.

Ladder diagram constructs

Ladder diagram constructs

Ladder diagrams are used to:

Show the relationships between the MS, BSS, and MSC elements represented as vertical
lines.

Provide a visual aid in tracing the statistical processes involved when an event occurs.

The message flows between the network elements are presented as horizontal lines representing
a sequential flow of events. Arrows indicate the direction of the message flow. Message names
are placed above the directional line.
Intermediate network element functions are placed on the vertical lines as a sequential
reference. Parallel functions may also be included as separate vertical lines for additional
reference.
Statistics associated with individual messages are located immediately below the directional
line. All the statistics that may be generated as the result of the process flow is listed on the
diagram.
As an example, Figure 19-1 shows the relationships associated with an immediate assignment
failure.

GSM call model

Chapter 19: Ladder diagrams

GSM call model

The GSM call model comprises:

BSS functions

BSC functions

MSC functions

Handover procedure

BSS functions
The GSM BSS is a combination of digital and RF equipment, which provides the radio
Air interface linking subscribers into the network and providing them with service. The
BSS function communicates with the Mobile Switching Center (MSC), the Operations and
Maintenance Center - Radio (OMC-R), and the Mobile Subscribers (MSs).

BSC functions
The main functions of the BSC include managing the radio channels and transferring control
messages to and from the MS. Control channels and bearer channels are always under the
control of the BSC. However, many types of call handling messages do not directly affect the
BSC and for these the BSC serves simply as a relay point between the MSC and the MS.
The BSC also incorporates a digital switching matrix. No fixed correspondence exists between
the radio channels at the BSS and the terrestrial circuits, which connect the BSS to the MSC.
While the BSC selects the radio channel, the terrestrial circuit is selected by the MSC, and it
is the BSCs switching matrix that is used to connect the two together. The switching matrix
also allows the BSC to perform handovers between the BTSs under its control without involving
the MSC (intra-BSS and intra-cell).

MSC functions
The MSC handles the call set up procedures and controls the location registration and handover
procedures for all except intra-BSS and intra-cell handovers. MSC controlled intra-BSS
handovers can be set as an option at the switch. Location registration (and location update)
allows MSs to report changes in their locations enabling automatic completion of MS-terminated
calls.

19-4

68P02901W56-T
Jan 2010

Maintenance information: GSM Statistics Application

Handover procedure

Handover procedure
The handover procedure preserves call connections as MSs move from one radio coverage area
to another during an established call. Handovers within cells controlled by a single BSC are
handled by that BSC (intra-BSS and intra-cell). When handovers are between cells controlled by
different BSCs, the primary control is at the MSC (inter-BSS). Handovers can also be performed
between BSSs connected to two different MSCs (inter-MSC handover). In this case, GSM
specifications define standard procedures allowing the two MSCs to coordinate the handover.

Call procedure milestones

Chapter 19: Ladder diagrams

Call procedure milestones

A general description of the milestones in a call procedure is explained in the following


paragraphs.

Call procedure
Bids
The first call procedure milestone is a request for service or resource (channel assignment
request). The MS checks the possibility of calling, before attempting to make a call.

Bids - bids blocked


A bid is made for a resource (channel assignment request) but, if all channels are busy, due to
other subscribers making phone calls, the bid is blocked. Further bids are requested until a no
blocking situation exists.

Bids - attempts
A bid is made and accepted to use a resource (channel assignment request). Now an attempt is
made to assign the user to that resource, for example with a traffic channel assignment there
is an assignment request from the MSC, but at this time the assignment to the TCH is not
complete. Hence, the connection is not complete.

Bids - attempts - successes


An attempt has been made to assign a resource (channel assignment request) and the
assignment is successful, hence the connection is complete.

Bids - attempt - failures (dropped)


An attempt is made to assign a resource (channel assignment request) but the assignment fails.
It is not possible to recover the call and the call is lost.

Bids - attempt - fail - recovered


A resource is allocated to an MS which it found to be unusable. The call in progress was not lost
but was able to revert to its previous radio resource.

The following refer to the call setup and handover matrix:

19-8

OK_ACC_PROC_SUC_RACH may be, but is not necessarily equal to


ALLOC_SDCCH because they are pegged by different processes and
filtering takes place between the two pegs. ALLOC_SDCCH is pegged
at the target cell for SDCCH Handovers. If OK_ACC_PROC_SUC_RACH
is less than ALLOC_SDCCH, some of the ALLOC_SDCCH pegs are due
to SDCCH Handovers into the cell. And if ALLOC_SDCCH is less than
OK_ACC_PROC_SUC_RACH, some of the RACHs have been filtered between
the two pegs.

Statistics matrix

CHAN_REQ_MS_BLK may be, but is not necessarily equal to


ALLOC_SDCCH_FAIL. ALLOC_SDCCH_FAIL is pegged for Immediate
Assignment and also for SDCCH Handovers. CHAN_REQ_MS_BLK
is only pegged for Immediate Assignment. CHAN_REQ_MS_BLK and
ALLOC_SDCCH_FAIL only peg on SDCCH blocking.

The total failed dropped calls is given by:


(OUT_INTER_BSS_HO[OUT_INTER_BSS_HO_ATMPT]-)
(OUT_INTER_BSS_HO[OUT_INTER_BSS_HO_SUC]-) (OUT_INTER_BSS_HO[OUT_INTER_BSS_HO_LOST_MS])

68P02901W56-T

The statistic HO_REQ_MSC_FAIL covers all cases except for blocking (no
resources available).

A phantom RACH or badly formed (invalid) channel request was detected, so no


resource was allocated and the call set-up procedure ended.

Impacts on statistics

The collection, interpretation, and accuracy of GSM statistics may be affected by some factors,
for example, new software and hardware features. Although not all the factors are directly
related to statistics, they all have a definite impact on them. The factors described here are
listed below. Also provided is a list of frequently asked questions with answers.

Extended GSM (EGSM)

Chapter 20: Impacts on statistics

Extended GSM (EGSM)

Overview of EGSM
EGSM900 (Extended GSM) provides the BSS with a further range of frequencies for MS and
BSS transmit. EGSM MSs can use the extended frequency band as well as the primary band,
while non-EGSM MSs cannot use the extended frequency band. A GSM900 cell can contain both
GSM900 and EGSM900 carrier hardware.

Requirements
Although EGSM provides additional frequencies for use, several functions must remain in the
original GSM900 band. Functions that must be performed in the GSM900 band are:

BCCH carrier frequency.

SDCCH configuration.

TCH allocation for immediate assignment.

Channel allocation
Channel allocation for an EGSM MS proceeds in a way such that the search is between
extended then primary band frequencies, starting from best to worst interference bands until
a channel is found.

Forced handovers
To avoid blocking of non-EGSM MSs, an extended band MS using a primary resource can be
forced to handover to an idle extended band resource with an interference band residing above
or meeting a specified threshold.
The database parameter egsm_handover_threshold indicates the range of interference bands
allowed for handing over an extended MS using a primary resource that is required by a
non-EGSM MS. Allowed interference bands are those above or meeting a specified threshold,
which are considered quality resources. The operator also has the option to disallow forced
handovers by disabling the egsm_handover_threshold flag.

Factors impacting statistics


Factors that contribute to the impacting of statistic values are:

20-2

The relative number of primary and extended band resources at a cell compared to the
number of EGSM and non-EGSM capable MSs trying to access the cell.

The egsm_handover_threshold flag value.

Factors impacting statistics

The following examples illustrate the impact of the EGSM feature on statistics:

Example 1: MS access to a traffic channel


The following conditions must apply:

EGSM MSs have used up the primary resources in the cell.

Non-EGSM MSs are attempting to access the cell.

The egsm_handover_threshold flag either does not allow or limits handovers from
primary resources to extended resources.

It is more difficult for non-EGSM MSs to access a TCH since EGSM MSs are occupying the
primary resources.
The statistics impacted are shown in Table 20-1.

Example 2: Impact due to increased handovers


The following conditions must apply:

The egsm_handover_flag encourages the handovers of EGSM MSs.

Many EGSM MSs occupy primary resources.

Non-EGSM MSs attempt to access the cell.

More intra-cell handovers are attempted to move the EGSM MSs off primary resources to
open up primary resources for non-EGSM MSs.
The statistics impacted are shown in Table 20-2.

Example 3: Impact due to congestion


The following conditions must apply:

A network has mostly non-EGSM MSs accessing the system. Although extended resources
are available, they are used infrequently.

Primary resources are used up by non-EGSM MSs.

The cell experiences congestion when other non-EGSM MSs try to access the cell, despite the
fact that not all the resources have been allocated.
The statistics impacted are shown Table 20-3.

Approximate equality

Chapter 20: Impacts on statistics

Approximate equality

Description of Approximate equality


Statistics are kept by processes at the BTS and BSC. When comparing statistics, minor
discrepancies between different statistics may occur because when the statistic interval expires,
a procedure may be in progress and not all statistics related to that procedure have been
pegged. These statistics are pegged in the following interval upon completion of the procedure.

Example
Figure 20-1 is an example of approximate equality.

Figure 20-1

Approximate equality procedure

Although the procedure TCH assignment was successful, the statistics file for the 9:00 to
9:30 interval shows the statistic MA_REQ_FROM_MSC incremented with no corresponding
MA_CMD_TO_MS and TOTAL_CALLS values. Also, the 9:30 to 10:00 interval shows the
statistics MA_CMD_TO_MS, TOTAL_CALLS, and MA_COMPLETE_TO_MSC incremented
with no corresponding MA_REQ_FROM_MSC value.

Phantom RACHs

Phantom RACHs

Description of Phantom RACHs


Phantom RACHs occur primarily as the result of sporadic noise and interference. Channel
requests from distant MSs can be affected by such noise when MS power output is low. If an
MS output is high, any transmitted signals can cause interference to other co-channel and
adjacent channel cells. It is unlikely in a Motorola implementation that cells using similar
frequencies are finely synchronized. This could happen by chance as each BTS does not have
frame synchronization. It is possible though for partial synchronization to occur and contribute
to the phantom RACH problem.

Process of Phantom RACHs occurrences

Chapter 20: Impacts on statistics

Process of Phantom RACHs occurrences


The following process describes the chain of events that take place when a phantom RACH
occurs:

Procedure 20-1

Phantom RACHs occurrences

The channel coder decodes the message on the Random Access Channel
from the radio. If the channel coder cannot decode the message because a
field is unrecognizable, the channel coder pegs an internal counter for the
unrecognized message.
If the channel coder decodes the message, the channel coder forwards the
channel request to RSS Layer 1 and included in the message is the peg
count of unrecognized messages.

RSS layer 1 pegs the OK_ACC_PROC_SUC_RACH statistic once for the


channel request and pegs the ACCESS_PER_RACH statistic once for the
channel request plus the peg count sent by the Channel Coder. RSS layer 1
does no filtering of the RACH

RSS Abis receives the channel request and verifies the one-byte message
from the MS. It verifies that the three most significant bits represent a valid
establishment cause (see GSM4.08, 3.11.0, section 9.1.8 for the valid causes
for Phase 1). If the three bits are verified, the RSS Abis sends a channel
request to Call Processing.

NOTE
The other five bits of the eight-bit message are non formatted
five-bit field, which cannot be verified.
4

20-8

Call Processing does no filtering of the channel request, it attempts to


allocate an SDCCH and pegs the ALLOC_SDCCH statistic. If the MS does
not respond to the Immediate Assignment, that is, no MS ever existed for
the RACH or the MS is far away, or turned off, the CHAN_REQ_MS_FAIL
statistic is pegged.
There are three levels of filtering the RACH:

At the Channel Coder.

At RSS Abis.

After attempt to allocate resource (due to guard timers expiring).

Raw statistics affected

Raw statistics affected


The following statistics may be affected by phantom RACHs:

ACCESS_PER_RACH.

ACCESS_PER_AGCH.

ALLOC_SDCCH.

ALLOC_SDCCH_FAIL.

OK_ACC_PROC_SUC_RACH.

CHAN_REQ_MS_BLK.

CHAN_REQ_MS_FAIL.

SDCCH_CONGESTION.

BUSY_SDCCH.

BER (SDCCH affected but not TCH).

ACCESS_PER_RACH is pegged for each phantom RACH. The remainder of the above statistics
are affected depending on whether the apparent channel request from the MS is known to Call
Processing (Layer 3). RSS (Layer 2) filters out RACHs that are invalid. Specifically, Channel
Request messages received through the RACH that have invalid (reserved) values in the
establishment cause field (reference GSM 04.08) are filtered by the RSS. Therefore, a lot of
phantom RACHs never make it up to the Call Processing processes because of the gating
(filtering) function performed by the RSS.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Chapter 20: Impacts on statistics

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Assignment failure
Q: What happens after an ASSIGNMENT FAILURE from the MS?
A: If an Assignment Failure is received from the MS during call set-up, the Assignment Failure is
forwarded to the MSC and the MSC (at its discretion) clears the call. If the Assignment Failure
is received during a BSS-controlled intra-cell handover, the call reverts back to the old channel.
Q: After an ASSIGNMENT FAILURE from the MS is the call lost or does the system send another
ASSIGNMENT COMMAND?
A: As explained earlier, during call set up the MSC decides whether to clear the call. Whether
the Assignment Command is retried is up to the MSC. If the Assignment Failure is received
during intra-cell handover, the call reverts back to the old channel and could send another
Assignment Command to the MS if the BSS chooses to do another intra-cell handover.

Counters and SDCCH reconfiguration


Q: Whether the following counters work correctly after an SDCCH reconfiguration? That is
when a TCH is used as an SDCCH:

ALLOC_SDCCH.

ALLOC_SDCCH_FAIL.

BUSY_SDCCH.

BUSY_TCH.

RF_LOSSES_SD.

RF_LOSSES_TCH.

SDCCH_CONGESTION.

TCH_CONGESTION.

TCH_USAGE.

A: For example, SDCCH congestion timer gets started when there are no free SDCCHs available
at the cell. If a TCH gets reconfigured to eight SDCCHs, the congestion timer stops because the
cell is no longer congested as far as SDCCHs are concerned. The statistics reflect the current
status of the system. The reconfiguration issue should not affect the accuracy of the statistics.

Maintenance information: GSM Statistics Application

Dynamic SDCCH configuration

Dynamic SDCCH configuration


Q: If configuration of SDCCHs, for example, can occur manually or more importantly occur
dynamically during a busy period, would the previous peg information for that half hour period
be lost, and would this affect key statistic results?
A: No, CHAN_REQ_MS_FAIL (the statistic which is pegged per channel) is not deleted when
the channel is configured or reconfigured. The process pegging creates the statistic for all
possible SDs. This statistic is never deleted, so that the statistic for each half hour shows the
amount of pegs for the channel for the entire half hour.

Established call loss


Q: Is failed handover and RF_LOSSES_TCH the only possible reason for losing an established
call?
A: A call could also be lost because of other procedure failures, like ciphering and Mode Modify.

Location update reject


Q: Why is there no value for LOCATION UPDATE REJECT?
A: The BSS should not have to peg Location Update Rejects. Location Update Rejects is a DTAP
procedure and the MSC should track Location Update Rejects.

Phantom RACHs
Q: How can it be determined how many phantom RACHs have been assigned to an SDCCH?
A: CHAN_REQ_MS_FAIL pegs due to timeout, if the MS is out of range or switched off. After
the SDCCH is allocated, an attempt is made to communicate with the MS, and it does not
respond (because it never existed to begin with).
Q: Does updated BTS hardware affect Phantom RACHs?
A: ACCESS_PER_RACH counts reduce considerably between BTS5s and BTS4Ds (3000 > 300),
which have full diversity.
Q: What happens after an SDCCH has been seized by a phantom RACH? Whether
CLR_REQ_TO_MSC, CHAN_REQ_MS_FAIL and RF_LOSSES_SD be pegged?
A: Only CHAN_REQ_MS_FAIL is pegged. CLR_REQ_TO_MSC and RF_LOSSES_SD is not
pegged for phantom RACHs.
