GPRS traffic statistic provides powerful data support for GPRS system performance
understanding, GPRS system optimization, and fault location.
GPRS traffic statistic items can be divided into the following classes according to
their functions:
Troubleshooting class
Both GPRS system and BSS system use 3-level traffic statistic model.

All indexes must be selected for some measurement types and these
measurement types include:
BSC performance measurement, PDCH maximum/minimum performance measurement, CPU
performance measurement, and NS performance measurement
Limitation for the number of the subrecords of traffic statistic result enquiry
At most 5000 subrecords can be viewed a time when OMC is used for traffic statistic result
view. For M2000 result view, there is no limitation.

transmission congestion call drop rate
PCU product . link rate
At present, as cell handover is unavailable in GPRS network and cell reselection are
all performed by the MS automatically, call drops will be inevitable when cell
reselection happens during the transmission.
As TBF transmission needs short time (2 to 3 seconds on average), a higher call drop
rate (compared to GSM voice system) has small effect on services.
As with congestion rate, if the call drop rate is high, it is necessary to check the traffic
statistic data in cells during suspicious time segments. After finding the few cells where
the call drop rate is obviously abnormal, analyze the few cells and find the exact
reasons and then solve the problem. As to how to solve the problem, you can refer to
Check of cell retainability performance.
G-Abis interface is an interface between PCU and BTS and the traffic statistic
indexes related to G-Abis interface are cell-level traffic statistic indexes.
This interface is mainly used for analyzing the transmission quality on link layer.
The main traffic statistic indexes are as follows:
− Number of normal frames received
− Number of lost synchronization frames received
− Number of checking error frames received
− Number of effective frames sent
− Number of blank frames sent
Checking error frames are to calculate errors after the synchronization of channels
and it reflects the quality of links directly. The formula is as follows:
Number of checking error frames received
G-Abis error frame rate = <=0.05%
Number of normal frames received
→ To remove hardware failures, you can check Cells with low establishment success rate
whether there are PCM-related alarms in BTS,
link failure alarms and PDCH lost
synchronization alarms in PCU. If PDCHs are
Alarm: Hardware failures
out of synchronization, check PCU, BSC, and
whether the link between BTS and BSC is
abnormal.
→ High packet traffic volume in the cell causes No packet resource Low assignment success rate

→ Circuit switched service has high traffic volume

and it contends for dynamic channel resources
in the cell.

→ The number of the channels that a board can
support reaches the upper threshold of the Analysis of packet traffic volume
specification.
→ The channels in the cell are in abnormal state, Channels contention
thus causing the unavailability of channels.

− Um interface retransmission rate
− The two indexes [Abnormal uplink TBF releases caused by no channel resource] and
[Abnormal uplink TBF releases caused by no channel resource] during the same traffic
statistic period can reflect that TBF call drop is caused by the contention of packet service
resources by circuit services.
− The action of MS also causes TBF call drop. The two indexes [Abnormal uplink TBF
releases caused by SUSPEND] and [Abnormal downlink TBF releases caused by
SUSPEND] reflect the effect of the circuit services of MS on packet services.
