4.1 Overview of System Load Measurement

System Load Measurement refers to the measurement of the system load of the BSC. The system load refers to the CPU usage of the BSC boards and the GBAM. The CPU usage shows the load situation of the system, but a 100% CPU usage does not mean that the CPU has reached its limitation and cannot process extra services. The BSC has a certain buffer capability, which can save extra service requests. As long as there is still a buffer area in the host, the BSC continues to process new services. Therefore, high CPU usage does not necessarily mean that the BSC is faulty, even if the CPU usage reaches 80% occasionally. The buffer area of the BSC is limited. If the CPU usage is high for a long time, a transient exhaustion of the buffer area may occur because there are sharp bursts of service requests. The BSC will abandon new service requests. Table 11-1 lists the measurement unit of System Load Measurement. Table 4-1 Measurement unit of System Load Measurement Measurement Unit CPU Usage Measurement Section 4.2

Formula
Mean CPU Usage = [Accumulated CPU Usage] / [Number of CPU Usage Measurements]
After a board or the GBAM runs for 30 seconds, the BSC measures the CPU usage every second and obtains Accumulated CPU Usage in a GP. Number of CPU Usage Measurements refers to the number of times the BSC measure the CPU usage.
4.2.3 Maximum CPU Usage

Counter
R9703: Maximum CPU Usage
Meaning
This counter measures the maximum CPU usage in a GP.
Trigger Point
The BSC measures the CPU usage every second in a GP and compares it with the current value. The measurement is triggered when the BSC detects the maximum CPU usage in a GP.

10.2 A Interface Paging Measurement

10.2.1 Overview of A Interface Paging Measurement
Measurement of the Paging on the A Interface per BSC refers to the measurement of the number of paging messages from the core network. The paging messages from the core network have two types, the circuit service (CS) pagings, and the packet service (PS) pagings. The CS pagings are sent from the MSC to the BSC on the A interface, and the PS pagings are sent from the SGSN to the BSC through the SGSN on the Gb interface (The pagings can be sent directly to the BSC when the BSC has a built-in PCU). The CS pagings can be sent to the BSC through the SGSN and the PCU when the Gs interface (interface between the MSC and the SGSN) is available.

11.3.4 MSG CCCH LOAD IND (PCH) Messages Sent on Abis Interface
Counter
L3188C: MSG CCCH LOAD IND (PCH) Messages Sent on Abis Interface
Meaning
The BTS saves the downlink CCCH (PCH) messages received from the BSC and the PCU into different receive buffer queues. When the length of the queue exceeds the specified threshold, the downlink CCCH is overloaded. The BTS can report overload to the BSC and identify whether the overload is caused by excessive downlink packet services or by excessive downlink circuit services. If the overload is caused by excessive downlink circuit services, the BTS sends a CCCH LOAD IND message to the BSC and the BSC forwards it to the PCU.
Trigger Point
The measurement is triggered when the BSC receives from the BTS an MSG CCCH LOAD IND (PCH) message. The cause carried in this message is downlink CCCH (PCH) overload of circuit services.
Formula
None.

11.3.6 MSG ABIS OVERLOAD (CCCH OVERLOAD) Messages Sent on Abis Interface
Counter
L3188E: MSG ABIS OVERLOAD (CCCH OVERLOAD) Messages Sent on Abis Interface
Meaning
This counter measures the number of times the BSC receives an MSG ABIS OVERLOAD (CCCH OVERLOAD) message from a cell in a GP. When the BTS sends an MSG ABIS OVERLOAD (CCCH OVERLOAD) message to the BSC, it also sends the BSC a CCCH LOAD INDICATION message.
TRX overload reports (CCCH overload) = CCCH load reports (RACH overload) + CCCH load reports (PCH overload) (circuit service and packet service). In actual situations, this equation may not exist due to bit errors.
Trigger Point
The measurement is triggered when the BSC receives an MSG ABIS OVERLOAD (CCCH OVERLOAD) message from the BTS.
Formula

11.3.8 LOAD IND Messages Sent on the A-Interface

Counter
L3188G: LOAD IND Messages Sent on the A-Interface
Meaning
If a cell has no TCHs available but the cell has external neighbor cells, the BSC sends the MSC a LOAD IND message to avoid the handover of the call from the external neighbor cell to this cell. The MSC then forwards this message to the BSS where the external neighbor cell is located. Therefore, the BSS will not select congested cells as candidate cells for handovers. The BSC checks the number of idle TCHs every five seconds.
Trigger Point
The measurement is triggered when the BSC sends a LOAD IND message to the MSC.
Formula
None.
11.3.9 Increases of Flow Control Levels

Counter
L3188H: Increases of Flow Control Levels
Meaning
Cell flow control is performed through double timers. When a trigger event occurs, the event is ignored if T1 is running. If T1 is not running, the flow control level increases by one unless the flow control has already reached the highest level. T1 and T2 (T2 > T1) are triggered. If T2 expires, the flow control level decreases by one. If the flow control level is not zero after the decrease, T2 is triggered again. This counter measures the number of times the trigger event occurs when T1 stops and the flow control has not reached the highest level.
Issue 02 (2007-02-06)
11-9
11 Call Measurement
The description of the double timers is as follows: When the event that can trigger AGCH flow control occurs, the cell flow control timer is triggered if neither T1 nor T2 is running. The timer length is T1. The status of the timer is changed to T1 running.
If the flow control does not reach the highest level (level 5), the AGCH flow control level increases by one and the number of times the flow control level increases is measured. If the flow control level has reached the highest level, the Highest Level Delays counter is measured.
If the flow control timer is in T1 running status, the event is ignored and the times the trigger event is ignored is measured. If the flow control timer in T1 running status expires, the timer is triggered again and the timer length is T2-T1. The status of the flow control timer is changed to T1 stopped and T2 running status. In T1 stopped and T2 running status, if the event that can trigger AGCH flow control occurs, the cell flow control timer is triggered again. The timer length is T1. The status of the flow control timer is changed to T1 running. If the timer expires, the flow control level decreases by one and the number of times the flow control level decreases is measured.
If the flow control level is not zero after the decrease, the cell flow control timer is triggered again. The timer length is T2. The status of the flow control timer remains the same. If the flow control level becomes zero after the decrease, the status of the flow control timer is changed to T1 and T2 stopped.
Trigger Point
The BSC detects that all the SDCCHs are busy when sending an IMM ASS REJ message. The measurement is triggered if T1 stops and the flow control has not reached the highest level.
Formula
None.
11.3.10 Decreases of Flow Control Levels

Counter
L3188I: Decreases of Flow Control Levels
Meaning
Cell flow control is performed through double timers. When a trigger event occurs, the event is ignored if T1 is running. If T1 is not running, the flow control level increases by one unless the flow control has already reached the highest level. T1 and T2 (T2 > T1) are triggered. If T2 expires, the flow control level decreases by one. If the flow control level is not zero after the decrease, T2 is triggered again. The number of the times the flow control level decreases is the number of the times T2 expires. This counter measures the number of times the flow control level decreases.
Trigger Point
The measurement is triggered when T2 expires.
Formula
None.

Meaning
After an MS occupies a channel, the BTS sends an ERR IND message to the BSC because of radio link errors. Call drops occur on the Um interface. When receiving the ERR IND message with a cause value of timer T200 expired (N200+1) times (0x01), unsolicited DM response, multiple frame established state (0x05), or sequence error (0x07) in it, the BSC measures the call drop counters related to ERR IND. The measurement is based on the channel type (SDCCH, TCHF, or TCHH), service type (signaling or traffic), and cause value. After an MS occupies a channel, the BTS sends a CONN FAIL IND message to the BSC because of radio link errors or hardware failure. Call drops occur on the Um interface. When receiving the CONN FAIL IND message with a cause value of radio link failure (0x01), handover access failure (0x02), OM intervention (0x07), or radio resource not available (0x21) in it, the BSC measures the call drop counters related to CONN FAIL IND on the basis of the channel type (SDCCH, TCHF, or TCHH), service type (signaling or traffic), and cause value. In multiframe link setup status, the BTS sends a REL IND message to the BSC after receiving the DISC frame from an MS. Call drops occur on the Um interface. The BSC measures the call drop counters related to REL IND on the basis of the channel type (SDCCH, TCHF, or TCHH), service type (signaling or traffic), and cause value. After an MS occupies an SDCCH, it sends a measurement report to the network every 470 ms. After an MS occupies a TCH, it sends a measurement report to the network every 480 ms. If the BSC does not receive any measurement report within scheduled time (five minutes by default), call drops occur on the Um interface. The BSC measures the call drop counters related to no measurement reports based on the channel type (SDCCH, TCHF, or TCHH) and the service type (signaling or traffic). After an MS occupies a channel, the BTS sends a CONN FAIL IND message to the BSC because of radio link connection failure. Call drops occur on the Um interface. When receiving the CONN FAIL IND message with a cause equipment failure (0x20) or terrestrial channel failure (0x22), the BSC measures the call drop counters related to hardware failure on the basis of the channel type (SDCCH, TCHF, or TCHH), service type (signaling or traffic), and cause value. After an MS occupies a channel, the BSC measures the call drop counters related to equipment failure on the basis of the channel type (SDCCH, TCHF, or TCHH) and the service type (signaling or traffic) if a release procedure is initiated because of BSC internal errors. After an MS occupies a channel, a forced handover is initiated but failed. If the release procedure is required, the BSC measures the call drop counters related to the forced handover based on the channel type (SDCCH, TCHF, or TCHH) and the service type (signaling or traffic). After an MS occupies a channel, a release procedure is initiated if the resource check fails. The BSC measures the call drop counters related to the resource check based on the channel type (SDCCH, TCHF, or TCHH) and the service type (signaling or traffic). After a call is established, a conversation begins if the called party answers. If a call drop occurs for a certain reason, the BSC measures the related call drop counters after a conversation begins based on the channel type (TCHF or TCHH). After a call is established, the BSC receives the CONN message from the called MS and the CONN ACK message from the calling MS if the called party answers. The BSC measures the counters related to successful connections based on the channel type (TCHF or TCHH). After an MS occupies a channel, the BSC measures the counters related to clear requests sent on the A interface on the basis of the channel type (SDCCH, TCHF, or TCHH), service type

11.8 Immediate Assignment Measurement per Cell

11.8.1 Overview
When an MS requires network services for reasons such as Mobile Originated Call (MOC), Mobile Terminated Call (MTC), emergency call, call re-establishment, location updating, packet call, and Location Measurement Unit (LMU)+Reserved, it sends the BTS a CHAN REQ message on the RACH. After receiving this message, the BTS reports a CHAN RQD message to the BSC. After receiving the CHAN RQD message, the BSC assigns and activates a signaling channel to the MS. If the BSC receives a CHAN ACTIV ACK message from the BTS, the signaling channel is ready for the assignment. The BSC sends an IMM ASS CMD message, requesting the MS to access the specified signaling channel. This signaling channel can be an SDCCH or a TCH. After receiving a FIRST SABM frame from the MS, the BTS sends an EST IND message to the BSC. After receiving the EST IND message that carries an MM message (CM SERV REQ message, LOC UPD REQ message, IMSI DTCH message, PAG RSP message, CM RE-EST REQ message), the BSC requests the MSC to establish the A interface connection and transparently transmits the MM message to the MSC.

Meaning
In the immediate assignment procedure, an MS reports a FIRST SABM frame to the BTS on the seized signaling channel (SDCCH, TCHF, or TCHH). Through this frame, the MS notifies the BTS that the radio link layer has entered the multiframe link setup state. The BTS returns a UA frame to the MS and sends the BSC an EST IND message to notify the BSC that the link is established on the Um interface. In the immediate assignment procedure, the BSC sends an IMM ASS CMD message to an MS and triggers a timer. If no EST IND message is received within scheduled time (10 seconds by default), the BSC measures the counters related to the timeout of call setup indications.
Trigger Point
As shown in Figure 11-1 (C), the measurement related to call setup indications is triggered when the BSC receives an EST IND message from the BTS where the target cell is located. This measurement is based on the channel type and the value of the service request message. As shown in Figure 11-3 (A), the BSC sends an IMM ASS CMD message in the target cell. The measurement related to the timeout of call setup indications is triggered if no EST IND message is received within scheduled time. This measurement is based on the channel type.

Meaning
The counters measure the ASS REQ messages received by the BSC from the MSC in the assignment procedure. The message specifies the signaling type or service type. If the service type (speech or data) is different, the channel assigned by the MSC is also different.
When the channel assigned by the MSC is used for speech services, the assigned channel is of the following types:

Full rate TCH channel Bm Half rate TCH channel Lm Full or Half rate TCH channel, Full rate preferred, changes between full rate and half rate allowed also after first channel allocation as a result of the request Full or half rate TCH channel, half rate preferred, changes between full rate and half rate allowed also after first channel allocation as a result of the request Full or half rate TCH channel, full rate preferred, changes between full rate and half rate not allowed after first channel allocation as a result of the request Full or half rate TCH channel, half rate preferred, changes between full rate and half rate not allowed after first channel allocation as a result of the request Full or half rate TCH channel, changes between full and half rate allowed also after first channel allocation as a result of the request Full or half rate TCH channel, changes between full and half rate not allowed after first channel allocation as a result of the request
Huawei BSC supports all of the eight channel types. When the channel assigned by the MSC is used for data services, the assigned channel is of the following types:

Full rate TCH channel Bm Half rate TCH channel Lm Full or half rate TCH channel, full rate preferred, changes between full rate and half rate allowed also after first channel allocation as a result of the request Full or half rate TCH channel, half rate preferred, changes between full rate and half rate allowed also after first channel allocation as a result of the request Full or half rate TCH channel, full rate preferred, changes between full rate and half rate not allowed after first channel allocation as a result of the request Full or Half rate TCH channel. Half rate preferred, changes between full rate and half rate not allowed after first channel allocation as a result of the request Full rate TCH channels in a multislot configuration, changes by the BSS of the number of TCHs and if applicable the used radio interface rate per channel allowed after first channel allocation as a result of the request Full rate TCH channels in a multislot configuration, changes by the BSS of the number of TCHs or the used radio interface rate per channel not allowed after first channel allocation as a result of the request
Huawei BSC supports the first six channel types.
Trigger Point
In the immediate assignment procedure, the BSS assigns a signaling channel to an MS. After the RR connection between the MS and the BSS is established, the MS establishes the MM and the CC connections with the MSC through the signaling channel. Based on the CC connection request from the MS, the MSC assigns terrestrial resources to the MS and specifies available channel types in an ASS REQ message.

Meaning
The counters measure the number of failed assignments due to different causes. In the assignment procedure, the MSC sends an ASS REQ message to the BSS. The BSS selects a traffic channel or signaling channel. The assignment may fail due to various causes.
An assignment may fail due to any of the following causes:
The BSS detects that there are no traffic channels or signaling channels available and sends an ASS FAIL message to the MSC. The MS sends an ASS FAIL message to the BSS directly. No ASS CMP message is received within scheduled time after the BSS receives an ASS REQ message from the MSC. The BSS determines that the message is in invalid state. The BSS receives an invalid message. The request for terrestrial resources fails. The CIC is unavailable or is already allocated. A failure occurs on the A interface. The MSC sends a clear command.

Trigger Point
If the MSC receives no ASS CMP message after sending an ASS REQ message to the BSS, the measurement of Failed Assignments per Cell is triggered. The BSS sends an ASS FAIL message to the MSC. The measurement is based on the failure cause, procedure, and assigned channel type.
In the assignment procedure (including or excluding directed retry), the related measurement is triggered when the assignment procedure fails. The measurement is based on the access cause and the assigned channel type. In the assignment procedure, the measurement of Failed Assignments (Invalid State) is triggered when the BSC detects that the status of the received message does not match the current procedure. In the assignment procedure, the related measurement is triggered when the BSC detects that errors occur in the decoding of the received ASS REQ message. The errors may be of the channel type, CIC, and layer 3 header information.

After the BSC receives an ASS REQ message from the MSC, the measurement of Failed Assignments (First Assignment, Terrestrial Resource Request Failed) is triggered when the BSC fails to request the terrestrial resources specified in the message. In the assignment procedure, the related measurement is triggered when the BSC detects that the CIC carried in the received ASS REQ message is unavailable or is already allocated. In the assignment procedure after the A interface link is established, the MSC sends an ASS REQ message to the BSC. The measurement of Failed Assignments (A-Interface Failure) is triggered when the MSC sends a CLEAR CMD message or a DISCONNECT message to the BSC because errors occur on the A interface. In the assignment procedure, the MSC sends an ASS REQ message to the BSC. The measurement of Failed Assignments (Clear Commands Sent by MSC) is triggered when the MSC sends a CLEAR CMD message before the BSC responds to the ASS REQ message. In the first assignment, directed retry, re-assignment, or re-assignment directed retry procedure, the related measurement is triggered when the BSC detects that there are no available channel resources. In the first assignment or the directed retry procedure, the BSC sends an ASS CMD message, and then triggers an assignment timer. The related measurement is triggered when the timer expires. In the assignment procedure, the BSC receives an ASS REQ message from the MSC. If the first assignment fails, the MS reconnects to the old channel and sends an ASS FAIL message to the BSC. The BSC then initiates the two procedures described previously and the measurement is triggered when the assignment fails.

Meaning
In the immediate assignment procedure, if there are no idle SDCCHs but idle TCHs to be assigned and if the immediate assignment of TCHs is allowed, the assigned full rate or half rate TCH is used as a signaling channel. There is no need to assign a TCH during the assignment. The assigned full rate or half rate TCH is converted to a speech channel through a Mode Modify procedure. The counters measure the number of times the BSC sends a CHAN MODE MODIFY message to the MS after receiving the MODE MODIFY ACK message from the BTS. Together with Completed Mode Modify Procedures (TCH), the counters can be used to calculate the success rate of Mode Modify procedures.
Trigger Point
As shown in Figure 11-8 (E1), after receiving the ASS REQ message from the MSC, the BSC checks the CHANNEL TYPE carried in the message and initiates the Mode Modify procedure if the CHANNEL TYPE and the type of the channel assigned in the assignment procedure meet either of the following conditions:

Same type of channel rate, different speech data indications Same type of channel rate and speech data indication, different speech coding algorithms or data transparent transmission indications
If the Mode Modify procedure is performed in the assignment procedure, the BSC sends a MODE MODIFY message to the BTS. After receiving a MODE MODIFY ACK message from the BTS, the BSC sends a CHAN MODE MODIFY message to the MS. The measurement is triggered when the BSC sends a CHAN MODE MODIFY message to the MS.

11.10 Intra-Cell Handover Measurement per Cell

11.10.1 Overview
After seizing a dedicated channel, an MS sends the BSC measurement reports periodically. After receiving the measurement reports, the BSC uses the handover algorithm to decide whether a handover is required or not based on the measurement reports. If a handover is required and the source cell (current cell) is also the target cell, an intra-cell handover is initiated. The Intra-cell handover procedure is as follows: Step 1 The BSC sends a CHAN ACTIV message to the BTS where the target cell is located. This message is used to activate the specified channel in the target cell. Step 2 After receiving a CHAN ACTIV ACK message, the BSC requests for channel resources. If the request succeeds, the BSC sends the MS an HO CMD message, requesting the MS to initiate a handover from the source cell to the target cell. Step 3 The MS sends the target BTS a HO ACC message to attempt to access a new cell. Step 4 The target BTS forwards this message through an HO DETECT message to the BSC and sends a PHY INFO message to the MS.

Step 5 The MS sends a FIRST SABM frame to the target BTS and the target BTS sends an EST IND message to the BSC, indicating that the MS has successfully accessed the target cell. The MS also sends an HO CMP message to the BSC. Step 6 The BSC sends an HO PERFORMED message to the MSC. ----End Figure 11-10 Intra-cell handover procedure

Meaning
The counters measure the number of intra-cell handover requests based on handover types and channel types. The counters show the frequency of intra-cell handovers in the current cell. Along with IntraCell Handover Commands per Cell and Failed Intra-Cell Handovers per Cell, the counters show the performance of intra-cell handovers. The intra-cell handover is of the following types:

Intra-cell handover in normal conditions Intra-cell handover caused by dynamic channel conversion Intra-cell handover in concentric cells
The channel involved in the measurement is of the following types:

SDCCH TCH
The dynamic channel conversion is of the following types:

TCHF to TCHH (TCHF-TCHH) TCHH to TCHF (TCHH-TCHF) TCH to SDCCH (TCH-SDCCH)

SDCCH to TCH (SDCCH-TCH)
The concentric cell handover is of the following types:

Underlaid subcell to overlaid subcell (Underlay to Overlay) Overlaid subcell to underlaid subcell (Overlay to Underlay)
In the internal handover procedure, the BSC selects the idle neighbor cell (the neighbor cell in the same BSC but different BM is assumed to be idle) as the preferred target cell. If all the neighbor cells of the source cell are busy, the first cell on the list of candidate neighbor cells is selected. The handover is performed even if this cell is busy. If the selected neighbor cell is also the source cell, the related counter is measured. In the concentric cell handover (also a kind of intra-cell handover), no handover is performed if the target underlaid subcell or overlaid subcell is congested. No counters will be measured.
Trigger Point
As shown in Figure 11-10 (A), the measurement is triggered when the BSC decides that an intra-cell handover is required based on measurement reports. The measurement is based on the handover type and the channel type.
Formula
None.

The AMR is a kind of speech codec algorithm. It can improve the speech quality by adjusting the encoding rate based on the radio environment. To control the call performance in a flexible way and to maximize the network capacity, the BSC needs a handover algorithm as follows:
If an AMR call seizes a full rate channel and its RQI is always higher than the defined threshold of the handover from the TCHF to the TCHH in a period of time, the handover from the TCHF to the TCHH is triggered. If an AMR call seizes a half rate channel and its RQI is always lower than the defined threshold of the handover from the TCHH to the TCHF in a period of time, the handover from the TCHH to the TCHF is triggered. The algorithm is controlled by the switches of both the intra-cell handover permit and the intra-cell full ratehalf rate handover permit. Because the BTS reports the RQI for only AMR calls, the AMR handover is used for only AMR calls.

11.11 Incoming Internal Inter-Cell Handover Measurement per Cell

11.11.1 Overview
After an MS seizes a dedicated channel, it sends measurement reports to the BSC periodically. After receiving the measurement reports, the BSC uses the handover algorithm to decide whether a handover is required or not on the basis of the factors such as the cell load, concentric cell, signal interference, and measurement reports. If a handover is required and the source cell (current cell) and the target cell are two cells in a BSC, an internal inter-cell handover is initiated. The internal inter-cell handover procedure is as follows: Step 1 The BSC sends a CHAN ACTIV message to the BTS where the target cell is located. This message is used to activate the specified channel in the target cell. Step 2 After receiving a CHAN ACTIV ACK message, the BSC requests for channel resources. If the request succeeds, the BSC sends the MS an HO CMD message, requesting the MS through the source cell to initiate a handover from the source cell to the target cell. Step 3 The MS sends the target BTS a HO ACC message to attempt to access a new cell. Step 4 The target BTS forwards this message through an HO DETECT message to the BSC and sends a PHY INFO message to the MS. Step 5 The MS sends a FIRST SABM frame to the target BTS and the target BTS sends the BSC an EST IND message, indicating that the MS has successfully accessed the target cell. The MS also sends an HO CMP message to the BSC. Step 6 The BSC sends an HO PERFORMED message to the MSC. ----End

The incoming internal inter-cell handover is part of the internal inter-cell handover. It refers to the internal inter-cell handover procedure performed in the target cell (the cell where the MS is located after the handover). The source cell (the cell where the MS is located before the handover) and the target cell can be two cells in a BTS or two cells in two BTSs controlled by one BSC. Figure 11-12 shows the incoming internal inter-cell handover procedure. Figure 11-12 Incoming internal inter-cell handover

11.12 Outgoing Internal Inter-Cell Handover Measurement per Cell

11.12.1 Overview
Outgoing Internal Inter-Cell Handover Measurement per cell is used to measure the handover of the cells controlled by one BSC. The measurement is performed in the source cell. The outgoing internal inter-cell handover is initiated by measurement reports or by assignment requests sent from the MSC. The descriptions of these two types of handovers are as follows:

Issue 02 (2007-02-06)
11 Call Measurement
Outgoing internal inter-cell handover initiated by measurement reports (excluding directed retry) After an MS seizes a dedicated channel, it sends measurement reports to the BSC periodically. After receiving the measurement reports, the BSC uses the handover algorithm to decide whether a handover is required or not on the basis of the factors such as the cell load, concentric cell, signal interference, and measurement reports. If a handover is required and the source cell (current cell) and the target cell are two cells in a BSC, an internal inter-cell handover is initiated. The procedure is as follows: Step 1 The BSC sends a CHAN ACTIV message to the BTS where the target cell is located. This message is used to activate the specified channel in the target cell. Step 2 After receiving a CHAN ACTIV ACK message, the BSC requests for speech service resources. If the request succeeds, the BSC sends the MS an HO CMD message, requesting the MS to initiate a handover from the source cell to the target cell. Step 3 The MS sends the target BTS a HO ACC message to attempt to access a new cell. Step 4 The target BTS forwards this message through an HO DETECT message to the BSC and sends a PHY INFO message to the MS. Step 5 The MS sends a FIRST SABM frame to the target BTS and the target BTS sends an EST IND message to the BSC, indicating that the MS has successfully accessed the target cell. The MS also sends an HO CMP message to the BSC. Step 6 The BSC sends an HO PERFORMED message to the MSC. ----End The outgoing internal inter-cell handover is part of the internal inter-cell handover. It refers to the internal inter-cell handover procedure performed in the source cell (the cell where the MS is located before the handover). The source cell and the target cell (the cell where the MS is located after the handover) can be two cells in a BTS or two cells in two BTSs controlled by one BSC.

Outgoing internal inter-cell handover initiated by the assignment request sent from the MSC (directed retry) The procedure is as follows: Step 1 When an MS needs to initiate a call, it sends a CHAN RQD message to the BSC through the BTS. Step 2 The BSC requests for an SDCCH or TCH signaling channel, and sends a CHAN ACTIV message to the BTS. After receiving a CHAN ACTIV ACK message from the BTS, the BSC sends the MS an IMM ASS CMD message on the signaling channel, requesting the MS to access the network on this signaling channel. Step 3 After receiving an EST IND message from the MS, the BSC encapsulates the CM SERV REQ message carried in the EST IND message into the CR message and forwards it to the MSC. After the MSC returns a CC message, the communication between the MS and the MSC is established on the MM layer. Step 4 After the messages CM SERV ACCEPT, SETUP, and CALL PROCEEDING are sent, the MSC sends an ASS REQ message to the BSC and the BSC analyzes the information such as cell load to select an assignment mode (normal assignment, mode modification, directed retry). If current cell load is too high, the BSC decides to initiate a directed retry procedure. Step 5 The BSC sends a CHAN ACTIV message to the target cell. After receiving a CHAN ACTIV ACK message, the BSC requests for speech service resources.

Step 6 If the request succeeds, the BSC sends an HO CMD message to the MS, and the MS sends an HO ACC message to attempt to access a new cell. Step 7 The BTS sends an HO DETECT message to the BSC and sends a PHY INFO message to the MS. Step 8 The MS sends a FIRST SABM to access the network. The BTS sends an EST IND message to the BSC and a UA frame to the MS. The MS sends an HO CMP message to the BSC. Step 9 The BSC sends an ASS CMP message to the MSC and completes other signaling processing. ----End The outgoing internal inter-cell handover is part of the internal inter-cell handover procedure. It refers to the handover procedure performed in the source cell (the cell where the MS is located before the handover). The source cell and the target cell (the cell where the MS is located after the handover) can be two cells in a BTS or two cells in two BTSs controlled by one BSC.

11.13 Incoming External Inter-Cell Handover Measurement per Cell

11.13.1 Overview
After the BSC receives measurement reports from the MS, it uses the handover algorithm to decide whether a handover is required or not on the basis of the factors such as the cell load, signal quality, signal interference, and measurement reports. If a handover is required and the source cell (current cell) and the target cell are controlled by two BSCs, an external inter-cell handover is initiated. The incoming external inter-cell handover is part of the external inter-cell handover. It refers to the external inter-cell handover performed in the target cell.
In the following topics, the BSC where the source cell is located is called BSC1 and the BSC where the target cell is located is called BSC2. The BTS where the source cell is located is called BTS1 and the BTS where the target cell is located is called BTS2
The external inter-cell handover procedure is as follows: Step 1 The handover algorithm in BSC1 notifies BSC1 to initiate an external inter-cell handover based on the factors such as the measurement reports received from the MS, current cell load, and the cell load of the neighbor cell. Step 2 BSC1 sends the MSC an HO RQD message, requesting the MSC of the target cell. Step 3 Based on the target cell, the MSC finds BSC2 and sends an HO REQ message to BSC2. Step 4 BSC2 requests for a traffic channel from the target cell. After the request succeeds, BSC2 sends a CHAN ACTIV message to the target cell. After receiving a CHAN ACTIV ACK message from the target cell, BSC2 requests for speech service resources. Step 5 After the request succeeds, BSC2 sends the MSC an HO REQ ACK message to notify the MSC that the target cell is ready for the MS access. Step 6 The MSC sends an HO CMD message to BSC1 and BSC1 forwards this message to the MS. This message is used to request the MS to access the target cell. Step 7 The MS sends the target cell an HO ACC message to attempt to access the new cell. BTS2 sends an HO DETECT message to BSC2 and a PHY INFO message to the MS. Step 8 The MS sends a FIRST SABM frame to BTS2. After receiving this frame, BTS2 sends an EST IND message to BSC2 and returns a UA frame to the MS. Step 9 After the MS accesses the target cell, it sends an HO CMP message to BSC2 and BSC2 forwards this message to the MSC. Step 10 The MSC sends a CLR CMD message to BSC1 and the BSC1 releases the terrestrial resources in the source cell. Step 11 BSC1 sends a CLR CMP message to the MSC. ----End

11.14 Outgoing External Inter-Cell Handover Measurement per Cell

11.14.1 Overview
Outgoing External Inter-Cell Handover Measurement per Cell can be classified into Outgoing External Inter-Cell Handover (Excluding Directed Retry) and Outgoing External Inter-Cell Handover (Directed Retry). Outgoing external inter-cell handover (excluding directed retry) As shown in Figure 11-20, after the BSC receives measurement reports from the MS, it uses the handover algorithm to decide whether a handover is required or not. If a handover is required and the source cell (the current cell where the MS is located) and the target cell (the cell where the MS is located after the handover) are controlled by two BSCs, an external inter-cell handover is initiated. The measurement of outgoing external inter-cell handover (excluding directed retry) is performed in the source cell. The procedure of the outgoing external inter-cell handover (excluding directed retry) is as follows: Step 1 BSC1 initiates an external inter-cell handover based on the handover algorithm. Step 2 BSC1 sends an HO RQD message to the MSC. Step 3 Based on the HO RQD message and the relation between the cell and the BSC, the MSC finds BSC2 and sends an HO REQ message to BSC2. Step 4 BSC2 requests for a traffic channel from the target cell. After the request succeeds, BSC2 sends a CHAN ACTIV message to the target cell. After receiving a CHAN ACTIV ACK message from the target cell, BSC2 requests for speech service resources. After the request succeeds, BSC2 sends the MSC an HO REQ ACK message to notify the MSC that the target cell is ready for the MS access. Step 5 The MSC sends an HO CMD message to BSC1 and BSC1 forwards this message to the MS. This message is used to request the MS to access the target cell. Step 6 The MS sends the target cell an HO ACC message to attempt to access the target cell. BTS2 sends an HO DETECT message to BSC2 and a PHY INFO message to the MS. Step 7 The MS sends a FIRST SABM frame to BTS2. After receiving this frame, BTS2 sends an EST IND message to BSC2 and returns a UA frame to the MS. Step 8 After the MS accesses the target cell, it sends an HO CMP message to BSC2 and BSC2 forwards this message to the MSC. Step 9 The MSC sends a CLR CMD message to BSC1 and the BSC1 releases the terrestrial resources in the source cell.

A: Outgoing external inter-cell handover request (excluding directed retry) B: Outgoing external inter-cell handover response (excluding directed retry)
Outgoing external inter-cell handover (directed retry) The procedure is as follows: Step 1 As shown in Figure 11-21, the MS sends a CHAN RQD message to BTS1 and BTS1 forwards it to BSC1. Step 2 BSC1 requests for a signaling channel from the source cell. If the request succeeds, BSC1 sends a CHAN ACTIV message to the source cell. After receiving a CHAN ACTIV ACK message from the source cell, BSC1 sends an IMM ASS CMD to the MS through the source cell. Step 3 The MS sends a FIRST ASBM frame to BTS1 and BTS1 returns a UA frame. After receiving the FIRST ASBM frame, BTS1 sends an EST IND message to BSC1. Step 4 BSC1 extracts the CM SERV REQ message carried in the EST IND message, encapsulates it into a connection request (CR) message, and sends the CR message to the MSC. Step 5 The MSC returns a Connection Confirm (CC) message. The MM connection between the MS and the MSC is established.

Step 6 After the transmission of the CM SERV ACCEPT, SETUP, and CALL PROCEEDING messages, the MSC sends an ASSIGN REQ message to BSC1. Step 7 BSC1 selects a kind of assignment procedure (normal assignment procedure, mode modify procedure, directed retry procedure) based on the load of the source cell. Step 8 If the subsequent services are unavailable or the subsequent services affect the existing services because the cell load is too high, BSC1 selects the directed retry procedure. If the source cell and the target cell are controlled by two BSCs, the directed retry is performed through an external inter-cell handover procedure. If the measurement is performed in the source cell, the outgoing external inter-cell handover procedure is initiated. Step 9 BSC1 sends an HO RQD message to the MSC to initiate an external inter-cell handover. Step 10 Based on the HO RQD message and the relation between the cell and the BSC, the MSC finds BSC2 and sends an HO REQ message to BSC2. Step 11 BSC2 requests for a channel from the target cell. After the request succeeds, BSC2 sends a CHAN ACTIV message to the target cell. After receiving a CHAN ACTIV ACK message from the target cell, BSC2 requests for speech service resources. After the request succeeds, BSC2 sends the MSC an HO REQ ACK message to notify the MSC that the target cell is ready for the MS access. Step 12 The MSC sends an HO CMD message to BSC1 and BSC1 forwards this message to the MS. This message is used to request the MS to access the target cell. Step 13 The MS sends the target cell an HO ACC message to attempt to access the target cell. BTS2 sends an HO DETECT message to BSC2 and a PHY INFO message to the MS. Step 14 BSC2 sends an HO DETECT message to the MSC. The MS sends a FIRST SABM frame to BTS2. After receiving this frame, BTS2 returns a UA frame to the MS and sends an EST IND message to BSC2. Step 15 The MS sends an HO CMP message to BSC2 and BSC2 forwards this message to the MSC. Step 16 The MSC sends a CLR CMD message to BSC1 and the BSC1 releases the terrestrial resources in the source cell. Step 17 BSC1 sends a CLR CMP message to the MSC. ----End

The A interface failure occurs when the message such as MSC reset and SCCP links disruption is sent on the A interface. The timers involved in the measurement consist of T7 and T8. T7 is triggered to wait for an HO CMD message from the MSC after BSC1 sends an HO RQD message to the MSC. T8 is triggered to wait for a CLR CMD message from the MSC after BSC1 sends an HO CMD message to the MS through the source cell. The handover causes consist of the following:

Failed Outgoing External Inter-Cell Handovers (Directed Retry) In the outgoing external inter-cell handover (directed retry) procedure, the BSC measures the related counter when the handover fails. The measurement is based on the crossing of frequency bands, different signaling points, reject cause, clear command sent by MSC and A-interface failure, and timer expired. Along with Outgoing External Inter-Cell Handover Requests per Cell and Outgoing External Inter-Cell Handover Commands per Cell, the counters show the performance of outgoing external inter-cell handovers. Along with Incoming External Inter-Cell Handover Measurement per Cell, the counters show the performance of external intercell handovers. The crossing of frequency bands is of the following types:

11.15 Incoming Inter-RAT Inter-Cell Handover Measurement per Cell

11.15.1 Overview
The conventions used in this section are as follows:
The MSC of the local system is referred to as MSC 1, and that of another system is referred to as MSC 2. The BSC of the local system is referred to as BSC 1. The BTS of the local system is referred to as BTS 1.

The procedure for incoming inter-RAT inter-cell handover is as follows: MSC 2 sends a PERFORM HO message to MSC 1. Based on the information of the target cell in this message and the mapping between cells and BSCs in the MSC 1 data configuration, MSC 1 finds out the corresponding BSC, that is, BSC 1, and sends an HO ERQ message to BSC 1. Based on the information of the target cell, BSC 1 requests channel resources from the target cell. After the request succeeds, BSC 1 sends a CHAN ACTIV message to the target cell. BTS 1 sends a CHAN ACTIV ACK message from the target cell to BSC 1. BSC 1 requests the resources for voice service. After the request succeeds, BSC 1 sends an HO REQ ACK message to MSC 1. After receiving an HO CMD message from another system, the MS sends an HO ACC message to BTS 1, attempting to access the new system from the target cell. BTS 1 reports an HO DETECT message to MSC 1 through BSC 1. At the same time, BTS 1 sends a PHY INFO message to the MS. The MS sends a FIRST SABM message to access the network. BTS 1 sends an EST IND message to BSC 1. At the same time, BTS 1 responds the MS with a UA message. After accessing the network, the MS sends an HO CMP message to MSC 1 through the target cell. Here, the incoming inter-RAT inter-cell handover is complete.

11.16 Outgoing Inter-RAT Inter-Cell Handover Measurement per Cell

11.16.1 Overview
The conventions used in this section are as follows:

The BSC of the source cell is referred to as BSC 2. The BSC of the target cell is referred to as BSC 1. The BTS corresponds to BSC 2 is referred to as BTS 2. The MSC corresponds to BSC 2 is referred to as MSC 2.
Outgoing Inter-RAT Inter-Cell Handover Measurement per Cell has the following two types:
Outgoing Inter-RAT Inter-Cell Handover Measurement per Cell (Excluding Directed Retry) The MS sends a measurement report to BSC 2. Based on the current load and signal interference of the cell as well as the signal quality and RX/TX level in the measurement report, BSC 2 decides whether to perform a handover. If deciding to perform a handover, BSC 2 sends a handover triggering indication to the corresponding processing module. If the target cell is in another system, BSC 2 initiates an inter-RAT handover outgoing from the source cell. BSC 2 sends an HO RQD message to MSC 2, requesting MSC 2 to notify the other system. Based on its data configuration, MSC 2 finds out the corresponding MSC, that is, MSC 1, and a handover request to MSC 1. After preparing for the handover, the other system notifies MSC 2. MSC 2 sends an HO CMD message to BSC 2, requesting BSC 2 to notify the MS. BSC 2 sends an HO CMD message to the MS through the source cell, requesting the MS to access the network in the target cell. After the access succeeds, MSC 1 notifies MSC 2 that the incoming inter-RAT inter-cell handover is complete. MSC 2 sends a CLR CMD message to BSC 2. After instructing the source cell to release related resources, BSC 2 responds MSC 2 with a CLR CMP message. Here, the outgoing inter-RAT inter-cell handover is complete.

Outgoing Inter-RAT Inter-Cell Handover Measurement per Cell (Directed Retry) After receiving an ASSIGN REQ message from MSC 2, BSC 2 decides the assignment mode based on the load of the cell. There are three assignment procedures: normal assignment procedure, directed retry procedure, and assignment modification procedure. If the load of the cell is so high that the cell cannot admit a new service or that a new service will affect current services, BSC 2 decides to perform a directed retry. If the target cell selected during the directed retry belongs to another system, BSC 2 initiates an inter-RAT inter-cell handover procedure outgoing from the source cell. BSC 2 sends an HO RQD message to MSC 2, requesting MSC 2 to notify the other system. Based on its data configuration, MSC 2 finds out the corresponding MSC, that is, MSC 1, and a handover request to MSC 1. After preparing for the handover, the other system notifies MSC 2. MSC 2 sends an HO CMD message to BSC 2, requesting BSC 2 to notify the MS. BSC 2 sends an HO CMD message to the MS through the source cell, requesting the MS to access the network in the target cell. After the access succeeds, MSC 1 notifies MSC 2 that the incoming inter-RAT inter-cell handover is complete. MSC 2 sends a CLR CMD message to BSC 2. After instructing the source cell to release related resources, BSC 2 responds MSC 2 with a CLR CMP message. Here, the outgoing inter-RAT inter-cell handover during directed retry is complete.

11.17 GSM Cell to GSM Cell Incoming Handover Measurement

11.17.1 Overview
GSM Cell to GSM Cell Incoming Handover refers to a handover in which the MS is handed over to the target cell from the source cell. GSM Cell to GSM Cell Incoming Handover Measurement aims to measure the following two types of handover:
After receiving a measurement report from the MS, the BSC decides to perform a handover based on the interference of the current channel, the load of the cell, and the measurement report, which indicates the signal quality, strength, and TX/RX level. After receiving an ASSIGN REQ message from the MSC, the BSC decides the assignment mode based on the load of the cell. There are three assignment procedures: normal assignment procedure, directed retry procedure, and assignment modification procedure. If the load of the cell is so high that the cell cannot admit a new service or that a new service will affect current services, the BSC decides to perform a handover through directed retry.
The incoming handover procedure is as follows: Step 1 The main processing module of the BSC receives an intra-BSC handover triggering indication from the handover algorithm, an inter-BSC HO REQ message from the MSC, or a request for handover during directed retry. Step 2 The BSC sends an inter-BSC HO REQ message to the target cell through the MSC or directly requests channel resources from the target cell controlled by the same BSC for channel resources. Step 3 The BSC sends an HO CMD message to the MS through the source cell after the request succeeds. Step 4 The MS accesses the network through the target cell by receiving/sending messages such as HO ACC, PHY INFO, FIRST SABM, and UA. Step 5 The MS sends an HO CMP message to the BSC through the target cell and releases the resources of the source cell. ----End

11.18.1 Overview
GSM Cell to GSM Cell Outgoing Handover refers to a handover in which the MS is handed over from the source cell to the target cell. GSM Cell to GSM Cell Outgoing Handover Measurement aims to measure the following two types of handover:
After receiving a measurement report from the MS, the BSC decides to perform a handover based on the interference of the current channel, the load of the cell, and the measurement report, which indicates the signal quality, strength, and TX/RX level. After receiving an ASSIGN REQ message from the MSC, the BSC decides the assignment mode based on the load of the cell. There are three assignment procedures: normal assignment procedure, directed retry procedure, and assignment modification procedure. If the load of the cell is so high that the cell cannot admit a new service or that a new service will affect current services, the BSC decides to perform a handover through directed retry.
The outgoing handover procedure is as follows: Step 1 The main processing module of the BSC receives an intra-BSC handover triggering indication from the handover algorithm, an inter-BSC HO REQ message from the MSC, or a request for handover during directed retry. Step 2 The BSC sends an inter-BSC HO REQ message to the target cell through the MSC or directly requests channel resources from the target cell controlled by the same BSC for channel resources. Step 3 The target cell responds to the HO REQ message after the request and preparation succeed. Step 4 The BSC sends an HO CMD message to the MS through the source cell. Step 5 The MS accesses the network through the target cell by receiving/sending messages such as HO ACC, PHY INFO, FIRST SABM, and UA.

12.4 Power Control Messages per Cell

12.4.1 Overview of Power Control Messages per Cell
Power control refers to changing the transmission power of the MS or the BTS. The purpose of power control is to reduce the interference, raise the spectrum usage, and prolong the lifespan of the MS battery. The factors that influence power control are the receive level and quality of received signals in the MRs. If the quality of both the receive level and the received signals are good, you can reduce the interference by lowering the transmission power at the peer end. Power Control Messages per Cell refers to the measurement of the transmission power and the receive level between the BTS and the MS. Table 12-9 lists the counters of Power Control Messages per Cell.

12.9 Uplink-and-Downlink Balance Measurement per TRX

Counter
Proper power estimation during network planning is a prerequisite for normal operation of the system. The uplink and downlink signals in the coverage area must be balanced.

If the uplink coverage is larger than the downlink coverage, the signals at the edge of the cell are weak and easily "submerged" by the stronger signals from other cells. If the downlink coverage is larger than the uplink coverage, the MS is forced to station at the signals. The unlink signals are so weak that the voice quality is affected.
The balance is not absolute. You can judge whether the uplink and downlink signals are in balance or not according to the MRs on the Abis interface. The MR that the BSC receives contains the uplink receive level and the downlink receive level. The uplink and downlink balance level is determined by the following formula: Downlink receive level uplink receive level 6

For details, see Table 12-25. Table 12-25 Mapping between the uplink/downlink balance rank and the receive level Uplink-and-Downlink Balance Rank 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Downlink Receive Level Uplink Receive level 6 15 dB 14 dB, 13 dB, 12 dB, 11 dB, 10 dB 9 dB, 8 dB, 7 dB, 6 dB 5 dB, 4 dB, 3 dB 2 dB, 1dB, 0 dB 0 dB 1 dB, 2 dB 3 dB, 4 dB, 5 dB 6 dB, 7 dB, 8 dB, 9 dB 10 dB, 11 dB, 12 dB, 13 dB, 14 dB 15 dB, 16 dB, 17 dB, 18 dB, 19 dB, 20 dB
If the measurement result shows that the uplink/downlink is frequently in balance level 1, infer that the downlink loss is too large or the downlink transmit power is too weak. If the measurement result shows that the uplink/downlink is frequently in balance level 11, infer that the uplink loss is too large or the uplink transmit power is too weak. You can use the results to locate faults in transferring channels such as the TRX and the antenna system. Table 12-26 lists the counters of Uplink-and-Downlink Balance Measurement per TRX.

13.2 Channel Configuration Measurement per Cell

13.2.1 Overview
During operation, the BSC dynamically adjusts the resources such as TCHs, SDCCHs, and PDCHs for optimal use of channels. At the same time, the system periodically provides the statistics when the channel is busy, idle, or blocked. These data helps to obtain the information about the system operation and about the service distribution. Therefore, the BSC samples the information about the channel assignment every five seconds. The number of the configured channels and the number of available channels can be obtained during the trigger of a sampling.

13.3 Channel Conversion Measurement per Cell

13.3.1 Overview
For the optimum assignment of the TCHs and the SDCCHs, the system supports the conversion between full-rate TCHs (TCHFs) and half-rate TCHs (TCHHs) and the conversion between TCHs and SDCCHs in certain conditions. The Channel Conversion Measurement per Cell measurement unit is used to measure the number of the conversion requests and the number of the successful conversions among the previous channels. The counters in the measurement unit reflect the implementation status of the channel conversion procedure and the actual usage of the channel resources.

13.3.2 Channel Conversion Requests (TCHF-TCHH)

Counter
R3505A: Channel Conversion Requests (TCHF-TCHH)
Meaning
Because the number of the initially configured TCHFs and TCHHs cannot meet the actual traffic requirements, the BSC enables the TCHFs to be adjusted to TCHHs in certain conditions. The initially configured dynamic PDCHs are not involved in the adjustment of TCHHs. In certain conditions, the initially configured TCHFs can be adjusted to TCHHs and the corresponding TCHHs can be adjusted to TCHFs.
The trigger conditions of the adjustment from TCHFs to TCHHs during channel assignment are as follows:

The system allows the dynamic data adjustment. The requested type of channels is TCHH, but there is no qualified TCHH available. There is qualified idle TCHF.
The adjustment procedure is as follows: Select a TCHF available for adjustment. For concentric cells, select the idle channels on the TRXs in the underlaid subcell as adjustable channels. If there are no channels available for adjustment, the adjustment fails. Convert the channel type and update the channel resources. Then perform configurations on the channels under the BTS. When the conversion of the channel type is complete, the BTS sends a status change report to the BSC. If the channel is available, the idle TCHH converted by the BSC can be used for channel assignment. The channel adjustment is complete and a TCHF is adjusted to two TCHHs.

13.6 Channel State Measurement per Cell

13.6.1 Overview
The Channel State Measurement per Cell measurement unit is used to measure the following items in the cells on the 900/850 or 1800/1900 band:

Mean number of busy SDCCHs Mean number of busy TCHs Mean number of blocked SDCCHs Mean number of blocked TCHs Mean number of idle SDCCHs Mean number of idle TCHs
The number of channels includes the number of converted SDCCHs or TCHs. A channel has three states: busy, blocked, and idle. The busy state means that the channel is seized. The mean number of busy state reflects the random access frequency of an MS in the cell at a sampling point in the form of the number of the seized channels. The blocked state means that the channel is blocked because of operation and maintenance (O&M) or because of broken radio signaling links (RSLs). The mean number of blocked state reflects the blocking of channels in the cell at a sampling point because of O&M or because of the broken RSLs. The idle state means that the channel is not seized and is normal. The mean number of idle state reflects the idling of channels in the cell at a sampling point. Table 13-12 lists the classification of the counters in the Channel State Measurement per Cell measurement unit. Table 13-12 Classification of the counters in the Channel State Measurement per Cell measurement unit Counter Classification Mean Number of Busy Signaling Channels (SDCCH/TCHF/TCHH) Mean Number of Busy TCHs (TCHF/TCHH) Mean Number of Blocked Channels Mean Number of Idle Channels Mean Number of Busy TCHs (Overlaid Subcell) Mean Number of Busy TCHs (Underlaid Subcell) Mean Number of Busy Signaling Channels (SDCCH/TCHF/TCHH) Mean Number of Busy TCHs (TCHF/TCHH) Section 13.6.2 13.6.3 13.6.4 13.6.5 13.6.6 13.6.7 13.6.8 13.6.9

Meaning
The previous counters are used to measure the successful assignments of SDCCH, TCHF, or TCHH in the immediate assignment procedure. In the immediate assignment procedure, the BSC assigns channels after receiving the CHAN RQD message from the BTS. If the BSC successfully assigns the channel resources, the previous counters are measured based on different channel types before the BSC delivers the CHAN ACT message to the BTS. The previous counters are used to measure the times that the BSC radio resource management module successfully searches an idle SDCCH in the channel resource table after receiving the request for SDCCHs. The number of the times includes the number of successful preemptions of SDCCHs. Then the BSC sends the CHAN ACT message to the BTS to activate the SDCCH.

13.10 Channel Assignment Concentric Cell Measurement per Cell

13.10.1 Overview
When the concentric cell function is used, the TRXs of the overlaid subcell and underlaid subcell should be properly configured to achieve the following results:

In the wide coverage area, the underlaid subcell provides remote coverage and the overlaid subcell bears the traffic. In the dense multiplexing area, the underlaid subcell uses the less multiplexed TRX frequency (BCCH) and the overlaid subcell uses the dense multiplexed TRX frequency.
With scientific configuration of the parameters related to overlaid and underlaid power, the system interference can be lowered to the greatest extent. Channel Assignment Concentric Cell Measurement per Cell is used to measure the counters such as channel assignment requests and overflows. These counters help to analyze the configuration of channel resources and the settings of handover.

Meaning
In the assignment procedure or incoming-BSC handover procedure, if the MSC requests a TCH, but the BSC detects that there is no idle TCH during channel assignment, and the BSC supports queuing, then the calls shall be queued. However, the number of calls to be queued by the BSC is limited. If the queue is full and the queuing fails, the BSC measures counter R3134: Failed Queuing Attempts due to Queue Overflow. In the assignment procedure or incoming-BSC handover procedure, if the MSC requests a TCH, but the BSC detects that there is no idle TCH during channel assignment, and the BSC supports queuing, then the calls shall be queued. In this case, the BSC measures counter R3135: Queuing Requests. In the assignment procedure or incoming-BSC handover procedure, if the MSC requests a TCH, but the BSC detects that there is no idle TCH during channel assignment. If the calls support pre-emption and the BSC supports pre-emption, then the BSC shall pre-empt TCHs. If the pre-emption is successful and the BSC supports queuing, then the BSC initiates a queuing procedure and starts a timer to wait for an available TCH. If there is no idle TCH upon the timer expiry, the BSC measures counter R3136: Failed Queuings (Preemption). In the assignment procedure or incoming-BSC handover procedure, if the MSC requests a TCH, but the BSC detects that there is no idle TCH during channel assignment. If the BSC does not initiate a pre-emption procedure or dynamic channel conversion procedure but the BSC supports queuing, then the calls shall be queued for a TCH. At the same time, the BSC starts a timer to wait for an idle TCH. If there is no idle TCH upon the timer expiry, the BSC measures counter R3137: Failed Queuings (Queuing Timer Expired).
13-82
Issue 02 (2007-02-06)
In the assignment procedure or incoming-BSC handover procedure, the BSC initiates a dynamic channel conversion procedure if:

The MSC requests a TCHF or TCHF, but the BSC detects that there is no idle TCHF or TCHF during the channel assignment The BSC supports dynamic channel conversion and the conditions for dynamic channel conversion are met
If the BSC supports queuing, the BSC initiates a queuing procedure and starts a timer to wait for an idle TCHF or TCHH. If there is no idle TCHF or TCHH upon the timer expiry, the BSC measures counter R3138: Failed Queuings (Dynamic Adjustment Timed Out).
Trigger Point

13.12 Channel Assignment GPRS Measurement per Cell

13.12.1 Overview
The BSS supports two types of PDCHs: dynamic and static PDCHs. After the kickoff of a GPRS cell, the PCU obtains the right to assign static PDCHs.
13-84
Issue 02 (2007-02-06)
The BSC does not manage the assignment of the static PDCHs but performs basic maintenance of them. The BSC assigns the dynamic PDCHs for either circuit switched domain (CS) services or packet switched domain (PS) services. The BSC preferentially assigns PDCHs for CS services. If it detects that there is no idle TCH for CS services or predicts that the TCHs for CS services are insufficient, the BSC requests the PCU to forcibly release the already assigned dynamic PDCHs and uses them as TCHs. Channel Assignment GPRS Measurement per Cell is used to measure the number of requests from the BSC to the PCU for forcibly releasing TCHs and the number of successful requests. The two counters reflect the busy state of the CS services and the assignment of the channels assigned to CS services and PS services. Table 13-50 lists the counters of Channel Assignment GPRS Measurement per Cell. Table 13-50 Counters of Channel Assignment GPRS Measurement per Cell Number 1 2 Counter R3140: Requests for TCH from the PCU R3141: Successful Requests for TCH from the PCU
13.12.2 Requests for TCH from the PCU

Counter
R3140: Requests for TCH from the PCU
Meaning
This counter is used to measure the number of requests sent from the BSC to the PCU for releasing the dynamic PDCHs.
Trigger Point
This counter is measured when the BSC sends a request to the PCU for releasing the already assigned dynamic PDCHs in either of the following cases:

The BSC detects that there are no enough idle TCHs for the CS services. The BSC predicts that there are no enough idle TCHs for CS services.
Formula
None.
13.12.3 Successful TCH Requests from the PCU

Counter
R3141: Successful TCH Requests from the PCU
Issue 02 (2007-02-06)
13-85
Meaning
This counter is used to measure the successful responses from the PCU to the requests for dynamic PDCH.
Trigger Point
This counter is measured when the BSC receives a successful response to the TCH request from the PCU.
Formula
None.
