Hi experts, can someone share with me how to

troubleshoot channel failure rate alarms on 2g Nsn??

Jason Webster
1. CHANNEL FAILURE RATE ABOVE DEFINED THRESHOLD
Meaning
The rate of calls terminating in failure on a channel is above the
threshold value set by the operator. The alarm is used to supervise
the functioning of traffic and signaling channels, and to detect
the possible faulty channels.
Supplementary information fields
1. indicates if the alarm is on the TCH or on the SDCCH channel
01: TCH
02: SDCCH
1. indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined
threshold in time slot 0
00: below threshold (no alarm)
01: above threshold (alarm)
1. indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined
threshold in time slot 1
00: below threshold (no alarm)
01: above threshold (alarm)
1. indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined
threshold in time slot 2
00: below threshold (no alarm)
01: above threshold (alarm)
1. indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined
threshold in time slot 3
00: below threshold (no alarm)
01: above threshold (alarm)
1. indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined
threshold in time slot 4
00: below threshold (no alarm)
01: above threshold (alarm)
1. indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined
threshold in time slot 5
00: below threshold (no alarm)
01: above threshold (alarm)
1. indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined

threshold in time slot 6

00: below threshold (no alarm)
01: above threshold (alarm)
1. indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined
threshold in time slot 7
00: below threshold (no alarm)
01: above threshold (alarm)
1. time slot with the highest failure rate
1. subchannel identification TCH:
00: TCH/H -subchannel 0
01: TCH/H -subchannel 1
02: TCH/F -subchannel
subchannel identification SDCCH:
00 - 07: SDCCH -subchannel 0 - 7
1. proportion of TCH or SDCCH subchannel releases due to failure
in all channel releases on a given channel during the measurement
period
Instructions
Find out the reason for the alarm on the basis of the release causes
in channel release messages. Restore the channel by first locking it
out of use and then unlocking it with the MML command ERS.
ZERS:<BTS>,<TRX>,<CH>:L; lock
ZERS:<BTS>,<TRX>,<CH>:U; unlock
Check that the parameters affecting the alarm are reasonable.
MML command EEO outputs the radio network supervision parameter values,
EEN command modifies the parameter values.
Parameters, with their default values, affecting the alarm:
ZEEN:TCHFR = TCH failure rate (20 )
SCHFR = SDCCH failure rate (80 )
PRDCFR = length of supervision period (60 min)
CS = channel seizure threshold value (10)
SMBNT = supervision start time (08-00)
EMBNT = supervision end time (18-00)
Cancelling
If the alarm requires no user actions, you can cancel it with the
MML command EOR.
The system cancels the alarm automatically in connection with the
user's locking and unlocking commands, or, if the situation is solved
without user actions, after the current measurement period.

All supplementary fields except CFR_OBJ field are set to zero

irrespective of the alarms cancelled manually or by the system.

Appreciate it Jason!!

May be some issue in TRX / traffic channel configuration mismatch between BSC & BTS /
transmission issue..

Thanks Nikhil, I will check that

Mr. Fuller,
There so many causes of that alarm, basically if you're using TDM transmission please
make sure that the Abis Allocation between BTS and BSC are matched. Otherwise it could
be a hardware issue, perform replacements on the TRXs, Baseband units (BB2x),
depends on what kind of BTS type you're using (Ultrasite, Flexi EDGE or FMR)

appreciate the feedback Okma, I will audit the BSC's... many thanks sir

Sector reset as first plan .
Check CNT cable ,
If it does not work ,please replace trx .
