Downlink Data TBF

Measurement

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.
DL Data TBF Measurement Counter

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
with different coding schemes received and sent by BSC as well
as coding scheme adjustment times during transmission process.
Figure 52 shows the measurement point of DL pending RLC
block.

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

Definition Number of intra-cell invalid handovers
Description This counter counts the number of intra-cell invalid handovers.
Invalid handover refers to that: handovers continue to happen in
a cell where there is UL/DL interference; if the number of the
handovers exceeds the pre-set threshold, intra-cell handover
punishment will be triggered to stop the continuous handovers;
if there is no new interference handover during sending the
measurement report of pre-set number, then the next handover
will be considered valid.

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 150.

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.

Chapter 1
Sub Cell Statistics
Task of sub cell statistics is to measure channel and handover

status among sub cells, with focus on traffic sharing condition at
the second sub cell.
This chapter introduces the meaning, usage, and measurement
point of sub cell statistics counter.
Overview
Sub cell statistics counter is used to find out operation status of
the sub cell in radio environment. It focuses on inter-sub-cell
handover and relevant counting at the second sub cell so as to
check traffic absorption condition by the second sub cell.
The measurement takes sub cell as the statistics unit.
Sub Cell Statistics Counter Index

Overview
MO-SM is short message of mobile originating call; MT-SM is
short messages of mobile terminating call. In conversation
status, the MS can receive point-to-point message so the mobile
caller maybe the other side of receiving short message at one
time. On the wireless side, short message could be transmitted
by the following five channels: SACCH/F, SACCH/H, SDCCH,
FACCHF and FACCHH. So far the statistics counting has been
realized by the channel of SACCH/F, SACCH/H and SDCCH.

TRX Measurement
TRX measurement task mainly considers TRX as its object to

count its resource distribution, seizure, assignment, traffic, and
interference, as an evidence of carrier, channel configuration,
and relevant parameter adjustment.
This chapter introduces the meaning and measurement point to
measure different performance counters by TRX.
Overview
TRX measurement is to measure the success or failure condition
of channel activation, assignment, and handover in the unit of
carrier. It also can measure carrier interference band, maximum
and minimum UL & DL level condition, to learn the status of
different carriers, providing evidence for adjustment and
maintenance.

Definition SDCCH busy time
Description Time used by SDCCH channel on carrier, including assignment
and handover. This can reflect traffic of carrier SDCCH channel.
Measurement formula is: (current time – last measured time) *
the number of MS seizing channel.
Reported measurement value shall be gotten by accumulation of
each measurement value. After each accumulation, previous
measured time will be changed to current time; when SDCCH
channel is seized, the number of MS seizing channel will be
incremented after accumulation; when SDCCH channel is
released, the number of MS seizing channel will be decremented
after accumulation.
Measurement There are 3 measurement points as follows.

Timeslot Measurement

related to TS measurement.
Overview
Timeslot counters are used to view the radio transceiver
environment of a MS in a particular timeslot, including the link
quality and strength in the timeslot. These data is sent to
Network side through measurement report. If signal strength in
some timeslots is weak, then it can be improved by changing
send and receive power.
The measurement takes cell as statistics unit.
Timeslot measurement counter

Overview
During GSM BSC signaling system, the allocation uses of TCH/H
channel mainly exist in assignment and handover processes. The
assignment processes include immediate assignment, general
assignment; handover processes include inner handover and
outer handover.
The measurement point of TCH/H counters in immediate
assignment process is shown in Figure 13.
When TC is internal and external, the measurement point of
TCH/H counter in general assignment processes is shown in
TCH/H counter in inner handover process is shown in Figure 16
and Figure 17.
TCH/H counter in outer handover process is shown in Figure 18

Abis interface message measurement is mainly for all kinds of
messages of Abis interface to count. It is convenient to find out
the frequency of all kinds of messages transmitting on Abis
interface. When BSC receives the messages sent by BTS, the
counter begin to count. The measurement point is A, as shown
in Figure 34.

BTS TRX Measurement
The BTS TRX measurement performs statistics for transceiving

power, power change, and signal quality for each TRX. This
chapter introduces the meaning and measurement point of BTS
TRX measurement counters.
Overview
According to the receiving level and receiving quality in MS
measurement report and the receiving level and receiving
quality in BTS measurement, BTS decides whether to perform
power control for MS or BTS. BTS also performs statistics
according to different reasons for power control.
There are two ways for power control: common control and
rapid control. The power control amplitude in rapid control is
larger than that in common control. Besides, BTS periodically
samples the power of MS and BTS to get the average power.
After the power control measurement task is customized, BTS
periodically reports the power control statistic result to BSC
through the PC TEST RPT message. The power control
measurement result can be used to analyze coverage quality
and power control effect and frequency.
The power control measurement mechanism is shown in Figure
35. The measurement point for MS power control is A1, which is
after BTS sending the power control message to MS. The
measurement point for BTS power control is A2, which is after
BTS sending the power control message to itself. The
measurement point for periodical power sampling is A3. BSC
collects the power control measurement counter information
after it receives the PC TEST RPT message, which is at B1 as
shown in Figure 35.

BSSMAP Message
Measurement
The BSSMAP message measurement performs statistics for the

number of BSSMAP messages that BSC generates, forwards, or
receives. This chapter introduces the meaning, usage, and
measurement point of BSSMAP message measurement counters.
Overview
The BSSMAP message measurement performs statistics for
various BSSMAP messages at A-interface. It is used to find out
the frequency of various BSSMAP messages transmitted at A-
interface. When BSC receives the correct BSSMAP message from
MSC, the counter counts. The measurement point is A, as shown
in Figure 49.

MTP2 Signal Link

Measurement
MTP2 signal link measurement collects statistics on events such

as code error, frame loss, fault, and congestions on lay 2. The
purpose is to reflect the working status of lay 2 links. This
chapter introduces the meaning, usage, and measurement point
of MTP2 statistic counters.
Overview
Platform signaling defines a MTP2 performance statistic structure:
T_PM_SIG_MTP2_Link and defines a structure array according to
the maximum number of links, ie, 128. In this way, error codes,
frame loss, faults, and congestion can be counted according to
link number.

IP Port Performance
Statistics

point of IP port performance statistic counters.
Overview
IP port performance statistics performs measurement for the
number of messages received, transmitted, and discarded at the
external physical port of IP interface board.
IP port performance statistics involves debugging performance
data and performance data that are useful for module debugging
and commissioning. Periodical statistics of IP port performance
data can reflect the characteristic of the port's history flow, such
as the average number of messages transmitted/received per
second at the port, flow burst, and bidirectional flow symmetry,
etc. At present, physical boards it supports include BIPI and GIPI.
Statistic unit in this measurement is times that the message is
counted. The measurement obtains the average number of
received/transmitted messages per second (PPS) at the port by
controlling the period of sampling IP port performance data.
