1. Introduction
Huawei BSS provides lots of counters, which are used to observe and improve the
running status of the equipment and the network.
The system of the traffic volume statistics of Huawei BSS may provide the task periods,
which include 15 minutes period, 30 minutes period, 1 hour period, 24 hours period.
OMC-R provides the functions of simple analysis and producing reports, and it also
provides the standard file form for the output results (such as txt file and so on), which
conveniences consecutive handling. The analysis tool of Huawei traffic volume not only
provides the indications of the quality of the network services, but also may analysis the
causes of the network failure and the equipment failures, and provides the output of the
self-defined reports.
2. Counters
The whole BSS has over 600 counters, which provide the design detail of every signaling
of the cell hand-over procedures, the call procedures and other procedures and the
statistics items of traffic volume, ratio of congestion, ratio of dropped calls, ratio of
successful hand-over, ratio of available channels, and which also include the statistics
items of the running status of equipment (such as MTP, SCCP, AIR, AIE, LAPD, SMS,
PU, and so on).

2.6 Up&Down link balance statistic
2.6.1 INTRODUCTION
The statistic of the Up&Down link balance registers information on the Up&Down link
balance in the network, i.e., the difference between up-link and down-link signal levels.
The information is collected for each cell.
The path balance difference between the up-link and the down-link path evaluation is
divided into 11 subclasses as follows: five subclasses for negative and positive
imbalance and one for balance. The class ranges will be closer to one another near the
balance value 0 and the size of the class will be 2 dB while at the edge of the path
balance range the size of the class will be 5 dB. The balance values <-20 dB will be
considered as -20 dB and the balance values >20 dB will be considered as 20 dB. If
either the mobile station or the BTS reports a RXLEV of 63 (-47 dBm) then the
measurement report containing this information should be discarded from usage within
this evaluation. The path balance is calculated as a difference between the signal levels.
Path balance = RxLevDL-RxLevUL-Correction
The correction is calculated as a difference between the sensitivity levels of the BS and
the MS.
Correction = ms_sensitivity - bs_sensitivity
The sensitivity of the MS:

GSM class sensitivity:104 dBm
DCS class sensitivity:100 dBm
The sensitivity of the BTS
GSM class sensitivity:is -110 dBm.
DCS class sensitivity:-108 dBm
In Up&Down path balance counter incrementation the missing radio down-link

measurement reports and the BTS measurement averaging parameter are taken into
account. If the down-link measurement is missing the path balance is not calculated. And
if power control is implementing, the compensation is required. The counters are
collected from the radio link measurement reports.
Path balance (difference between up-link and down-link signal levels) classes:
Class 1 = -20 dB to -15 dB
Class 6 = 0
Class 7 = 01 dB to 02 dB
2.6.2 COUNTERS

BS_LINK_BALANCE_1 Number of the path balance
measurements of class 1
2.7 RX Quality Statistics
2.7.1 INTRODUCTION
The RX quality statistics statistic both in up-link and down-link directions on the TRX.
In both up-link and down-link directions will be eight counters corresponding to the RX
quality bands. These counters are incremented every time when a call terminates or
when a handover is performed. In the statistical report the RX quality band frequencies
are displayed in the accuracy of one TRX, of one BTS or in the accuracy of one BSC.
The incrementation is made according to the number of each RX quality band received
by the BSC in the radio link measurement messages. The missing radio down-link
measurement reports and the BTS measurement averaging parameter are taken into
account in RX quality counter incrementation. And if power control is implementing, the
compensation is required. This way the counters will be updated every 480 ms. The RX
quality frequencies are collected only of the traffic channels (TCHs).
RX quality coding is GSM 05.08 (8.2).

0 = less than 0.2 % (BER)
1 = 0.2 % to 0.4 % (BER)
2 = 0.4 % to 0.8 % (BER)
3 = 0.8 % to 1.6 % (BER)
4 = 1.6 % to 3.2 % (BER)
5 = 3.2 % to 6.4 % (BER)

6 = 6.4 % to 12.8 % (BER)
7 = greater than 12.8 % (BER).
This statistic is for TRX
2.7.2 COUNTERS

BS_FREQ_RX_QUALITY_UL_0 Number of samples (measurements
report) whose up-link RX quality is 0.
BS_FREQ_RX_QUALITY_DL_0 Number of samples (measurements
report) whose down-link RX quality is 0.
2.8 BSC Counters: RX Level Statistics
2.8.2 INTRODUCTION
The Statistics of the RX level statistics registers information on the level and quality of RX
signal on both up-link and down-link direction.
This statistic the RX level in six classes per RX quality band in both up-link and down-link
directions. The statistic for the RX level statistics consists of 96 counters. There are 48
counters corresponding to the RX quality bands defined in both up-link and down-link
directions. The incrementation is made according to the number of each RX level class
received by the BSC in the radio link measurement report. RX level is divided into six
subclasses in both up-link and down-link measurements and the ranges of classes, 0-10,
11-15, 16-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-63. In the RX level counter incrementation the missing
radio down-link measurement reports and the BTS measurement averaging parameter
are taken into account. If the down-link measurement is missing, the latest down-link
measurement is used. This way the counters will be updated every 480 ms. This statistic
is for TRX.
2.8.3 COUNTERS

BS_RXL_UL_00 Number of the measurement reports of the up-link
radio link in which the up-link BER belongs to the
band 0 with RX level class 0

link radio link in which the down-link BER belongs to

2.9 Call drop statistic
2.9.1 INTRODUCTION
This measurement statistic measurement reports of the calls drop because radio connect
fail in both up-link and down-link directions. If the down-link measurement is missing, the
latest down-link measurement is used. This way the counters will be updated every 480
ms.
