Downlink Data TBF

Measurement
This chapter contains detailed information about counters

related to random access measurement.
Downlink (DL) data TBF measurement collects information of the
DL TBF establishment and release in a cell. It includes GPRS TBF
and EGPRS TBF. Some measurement is made for signaling TBF
and data TBF respectively. This chapter gives detailed
information about the DL TBF measurement.
Overview
DL TBF process comprises establishment, transmission and
release of the DL TBF.
The establishment includes the DL TBF establishment on CCCH,
PCCCH and PACCH.
The release includes normal release and abnormal release of the
DL TBF. Abnormal release is used to judge the running of PS
service so as to make adjustment.
DL transmission measurement mainly focuses on the connecting
time of the DL TBF and the number of co-existing DL TBFs.

Description This counter counts the number of retransmissions after the DL
GPRS TBF finishes LLC frame transmission and receives new LLC
frames.
Measurement When the DL GPRS TBF transmits all LLC frames and receives
Point new LLC frames before transmitting the DL RLC block (FBI=1),
this counter increments. The measurement point is A, as shown
in Figure 1.

Description In the UL transmission state, when SGSN DL LLC frame arrives,
the DL TBF transmission should be established. If there is no
reserved DL resource, the user plane will ask the control plane
to allocate resource. This counter counts the number of non-
responses from the control plane in this case.
Measurement When the BSC sends DL Assign Request, the timer waiting for
Point response is triggered. The counter increments if the timer
expires. The measurement point is A, as shown in Figure 2.

Description This counter counts the number of TBF establishment failures
caused by other reasons than non-responses from the control
plane when PACCH of GPRS TBF tries to establish DL TBF. The
other reasons here include failed transmission of assignment
messages and failed creation of DL RLC instances.
Measurement When PACCH fails to send the assignment messages or fails to

Definition Number of GPRS DL TBF establishment failure on CCCH/PCCCH
due to time out
Description When MS is in the idle state, after BSC receives DL LLC frames
from SGSN, BSC should originate DL TBF establishment assigned
on CCCH/PCCCH. The user plane asks the control plane for radio
resources. If the user plane fails to receive the resources within
the specified time or it receives the message of assignment
failure, it indicates that the DL TBF establishment fails.
Measurement During the DL GPRS TBF establishment on CCCH/PCCCH, if there
Point is no radio resource assigned by the control plane within the
specified time, this counter increments. The measurement point
is A, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4.

the control plane assigns the resource, sends the assignment
message on CCCH/PCCCH, and informs the user plane. The
initial timing advance is acquired then and the DL TBF
establishment starts.
In the DTM mode, if the control plane has transmitted LLC
frames through the dedicated channel or has transmitted the
DTM assignment, the user plane is informed too and it believes
the DL TBF establishment has started.
Measurement During the DL GRPS TBF establishment on CCCH/PCCCH, after

Description When MS is in the idle state, after BSC receives DL LLC
frames from SGSN, BSC should originate DL TBF
establishment assigned on CCCH/PCCCH. After receiving the
resource assigned by the control plane, the user plane sends
the packet polling request message through the assigned
channel. When the MS responds with the AB form of packet
control ack message, the MS initial timing advance is
acquired then. If the BSC receives the packet control ack
message and sends the message of timing advance setting,
it indicates that the operation is successful.
In the DTM mode, if the user plane receives the DTM
assignment message from the control plane, the operation is
considered to be successful.
Besides, in the DTM mode, if the user plane receives the DTM

Uplink/Downlink RLC
Statistic Measurement

related to Uplink (UL)/Downlink (DL) RLC statistics counters.
Overview
RLC blocks are classified into control block and data block based
on the content. Data block includes RLC block waiting to be
acknowledged (Pending block), retransmitted block (NACK
block), and first-transmitted block (new blocks excluding
retransmitted RLC block and pending RLC blocks).
RLC coding scheme includes CS1 ~ CS4 and MCS1 ~ MCS9.
Coding scheme is set at background and can be adjusted by BSC
according to the link quality.
UL/DL RLC statistics is used to find out the number of RLC blocks

RMM Assignment
Measurement
RMM assignment measurement describes assignment status,

including assignment attempt, execution and queuing due to
various reasons. This chapter contains definitions, usages and
measurement points of counters in assignment measurement.
Overview
RMM assignment counter describers the assignment process. As
many attempts can be made if no channel is available in the first
assignment attempt, it is necessary to make a completed
description of the whole assignment process instead of the
assignment processes of TCH/F or TCH/H. These counters are
used to analyze influences of forced release, queuing and
directed retry, to assignment success rate from the viewpoint of
calling.

Handover cause measurement describes frequency of MS
handover due to various causes; it is used for checking cell radio
environment. This chapter contains definitions, usages and
measurement points of counters related to handover cause
measurement.
Overview
Handover cause counter is used for checking MS handover
causes. According to cell radio environment and BSC settings,
handover algorithm judgment module can carry out handover
due to several different handover causes, so as to realize
functions such as optimizing resource usage, improving call
quality and rescuing calls.

Definition Number of handover attempts due to directed retry
Description During the process of MS requests channel, if radio resource is
congested, then it will attempt to request an available channel
from adjacent cell for this call. This is called direct retry, which is
a kind of handover. This counter counts the number of handover
attempts due to direct retry.
Usage This counter is used to find out MS access process and to check
cell channel utilizing status. If the statistic number counted by
the counter is relative high, then it means the cell does not have
enough radio resource and capacity expansion shall be taken
into account.
Measurement In assignment process, the counter increments if source
Point instance receives message that no available radio resource
replied by target instance, then it chooses cell list successfully
and try to attempt cells in the list. This counter is handover
cause counter and used for finding out cell channel congestion
status, so the counter only counts in the initial judgment. The

RMM Call Drop

Measurement

related to data flow measurement.
RMM call drop measurement measures the number of call drops
on various channels and services, as well as data related to call
drop cause in signaling flow; it is used to find out network
operation status, evaluate network performance, adjust network
parameter, etc. This chapter introduces definitions, usages and
measurement points of counters in RMM call drop measurement.
Overview
Channels that take part in the measurement statistic include
SDCCH, TCH/F and TCH/H. Service types include signaling, voice
and data. Counted call drop causes include RMM losses contact
with SMM, BTS radio link failure, LAPD link failure, OMCR forced
release, forced release by other calls, handover failure, as well as
other failure.

Definition Peak processor load
Description This counter counts the maximum number of busy SDCCHs in
the cell within measurement period; its value represents SDDCH
instantaneous occupation status and the busiest extent.
System records SDCCH occupation number in cells. The
occupation number increments after SDCCH has been occupied
successfully; the occupation number decrements before SDCCH
has been released. The counter value updates as occupation
number if BSC judges that the counter value is smaller than the
occupation number after SDCCH has been occupied successfully
and before SDCCH has been released, as well as when
measurement data are reported periodically.
Update occupation number before SDCCH has been released is
because SDCCH status in the previous measurement period has
been taken into account.
Usage This counter is used to find out the busy extent of SDCCH in
cells, its value can be used as the reference for whether to
increase SDCCH.
Measurement The counter counts in the following three cases:
Point
The counter updates if the maximum busy number exceeds
the recorded value after SDCCH has been occupied
successfully;
the recorded value before SDCCH has been released;
the recorded value when measurement data are reported
periodically. The measurement point is A, as shown in Figure

Chapter 12
Radio Access
Measurement
Radio access measurement describes MS radio random access

process, including number of access attempt due to various
reasons, number of processing and number of success. This
chapter contains definitions, usages and measurement points of
counters in radio access measurement.
Overview
Radio access counter is mainly used to observe MS radio random
access process as the reference of radio access parameter
adjustment, signaling channel allocation strategy, etc. Several
possible causes of radio access are listed here. Access statistics
related to GPRS is not listed here but in the category of other
access request temporarily.
The number of access request is that of receiving “Channel
Required” message; the number of successful access process is
that of sending “Immediate Assignment” message.
The slot-aloha protocol used in radio access allows many access
requests in one access. We can use the percentage of the
number of successful access process to the number of access
request to describe access success rate. This value represents
signaling channel congestion extent. The percentage of the
number of successful access to the number of access request
represents the collision status in radio access request. If this
value is low, we shall consider factors such as the interval
between access requests, and check whether it is reasonable.
Radio access flow and related counters’ locations are shown in
Figure 127.

Chapter 13
Radio Measurement
Cell radio measurement describes the status of interference and

service quality of occupied and idle cell channels. This chapter
contains definitions, usages and measurement points of counters
in cell radio measurement.
Overview
Cell radio measurement items mainly include UL/DL quality,
signal strength, TA, interference band and RQ value of radio
channels. The UL/DL quality, signal strength, TA and RQ value
are counted after measurement report or pre-processing
measurement report sent by BTS is received; BSC updates
interference band status in database after receiving
measurement report or pre-processing measurement report. The
value of interference band can be inquired in database when
periodical measurement is reported.
