Counter Triggering Point Description

Ave_busy_tch When a TCH seized or released. Average number of the busy TCHs. The average value is calculated
Sampled every 20 seconds. by dividing the value of this counter by the value of the next counter.
Res_av_denom14 Along with above counter Denominator of the average number of busy TCHs (always>0)

Tch_radio_fail Timer 3107 expires while Number of TCH transactions ended due to a radio failure (Radio Link
waiting for assignment Timeout). This is effected by low coverage, poor quality, high
complete interference over Air interface
Tch_rf_old_ho Unsuccessful handover, timer Number of TCH transactions ended due to a radio failure on the
3107 expires source channel during a handover attempt.
Tch_abis_fail_call Unsuccessful TCH activation, Number of TCH transactions ended due to a failure in the Abis
timer expires while waiting for interface during a call in progress. When a TCH transaction ends due
Channel Activation Ack to signalling problems in the Abis interface. The signalling problems
message. TCH assignment may include missing acknowledgement of channel activation, missing
failure. TRX or TSL blocked due indication of call establishment, receipt of an error indication,
to different causes (not real corrupted messages, missing measurement results from the BTS,
blocking) excessive timing advance or some internal reasons. These failures
can also contains situations when the timer T3109 expires in a BSC in
call release phase while waiting for the Release Indication. The MS
subscriber does not see these failures caused by the T3109 expiry as
real drop calls. Blocking caused due to Hardware failure, Site blocked
by user, LAPD failure. Counters LAPD_failure, BTS_failure, User_act
or Netw_act are updated as well when blocking cause occurs.

Counter Triggering Point Description
Tch_abis_fail_old Same as above Number of TCH transactions ended due to a failure in the Abis interface on the source
channel during a TCH HO.
Tch_a_if_fail_call TCH assignment failure, MSC sends Number of TCH transactions ended due to a failure in the A interface during a call in
CLEAR_COMMAND message progress. The signalling problems may include CLEAR_COMMAND message from the
MSC during the call setup phase before the MSC receives an indication of the
completion of the assignment from the MS and the ABNORMAL_CLEAR_
RECEIVED_DUE_TO_A_ INTERFACE message (reset circuit, SCCP cleared by RLSD).

Tch_a_if_fail_old Same as above

Tch_bcsu_reset TRX or TSL blocked due to different

Tch_netw_act TRX or TSL blocked due to different

Tch_act_fail_call Unsuccessful TCH activation
Number of TCH transactions ended due to a failure in the A interface on the source
channel during a handover attempt. It is this counter in the source cell that is updated. If
the target cell lies within the same BSC, also counter 001015 in the target cell is updated
along with this counter.
When a TCH transaction ends due to a transcoder failure during a call attempt and the
RRM releases the TCH. These failures can also contains situations when the timer
T3109 expires in a BSC in call release phase while waiting for the Release Indication.
The MS subscriber does not see these failures caused by the T3109 expiry as real drop
calls.
When a TCH transaction ends due to a transcoder failure on the source channel during a
handover attempt and the RRM releases the TCH. This happens before the RRM
receives a message from the MS stating that the HO or assignment is completed.
Number of TCH transactions that are ended due to an LAPD failure. (The TRX blocked is
in one of these sub-states: signalling link fault or PCM fault.). This also cause Handover
failure.
Number of TCH transactions that are ended due to a BTS failure. (The TRX blocked is in
one of these sub-states: FU fault, CU fault, BTS reset, BCF reset, both CU and FU fault,
BCF fault.)
Number of TCH transactions that are ended due to user actions. (The TRX/TSL is in
sub-state blocked by the user.)
Number of TCH transactions that are ended due to a BCSU restart.
Number of TCH transactions ended due to a reconfiguration of the radio network. (The
TRX blocked is in sub-state blocked by the system.)
Number of TCH transactions that are ended due to a failure to activate a channel during
a call attempt.
