Both SDCCH and TCH are counted together. The T3107 timer is also used as the guard timer of the channel change procedure during an intra cell handover. The default value for T3107 is 14 seconds. The BSC will send BSC Shared DTM INFO Indication to inform the MFS the successful end of the procedure if the conditions below are fulfilled:

MC561: In MX BSC, this counter is incremented whenever an intra-cell TCH handover cannot be performed due to the TCH processing capacity of CCP reaches the limit defined by the MAX_TCH_PER_CCP parameter. In this case, MC926 is also incremented by one.

In IP mode, this counter is increased by 1 if: - the cell mapped on a BTS is in IP congestion status; - or the TCH processing capacity of AbisBTSGroup reaches the limit defined by the NB_MAX_ACTIVE_TCH_TS parameter

In this example, the Downlink path on the new channel is faulty (interference, path unbalance ). It is also possible the MS immediately sends an Assign Failure (without even attempting to connect to the new channel). N200_TTF = 34 T200_TF = 200ms 200 * 35 = 7seconds MC667 = C107 (sdcch intracell ho fail roc) + C67 (tch intracell ho fail roc)

Another counter is linked to various causes of drops during HO preparation and execution phases:

if DTM is enabled in the old cell, it sends a BSCGP BSC shared DTM info indication (CS_Flag = 0) to the MFS. if DTM is enabled in the new cell, it send a BSCGP BSC shared DTM info indication (CS_flag = 1) to the MFS.
The MFS in the old cell deletes the MS context and creates an MS context according to the information received in the BSCGP BSC shared DTM info indication. In case of Sync HO, the HO COMMAND contains a valid timing advance value, so that the MS will use this timing advance in the target cell. If the HO is not sync, then the HO COMMAND indicates that the HO is async, and the MS will send the HO ACCESS with TA=0. The target BTS will need to compute the TA.

Both SDCCH and TCH are counted together. From B7, MC645A replaces MC645 of B6. MC645a is only counting HANDOVER REQUIRED messages that are linked to a handover trial and not those that are linked to the update of the candidate cell list for handover / directed retry. This is leading to a more accurate computation of the External outgoing HO success rate. Only Outgoing inter PLMN HO is allowed. 6 counters provide information for "Inter-PLMN HO" (Incoming and Outgoing) (From B8) z MC462a (equivalent of MC645A for intra PLMN external HO) Number of inter-PLMN TCH outgoing handovers or directed retry requests: HANDOVER REQUIRED sent to the MSC for an external TCH HO or an external DR triggered towards a cell belonging to a PLMN different from the PLMN of the serving cell. z MC462b (equivalent of MC650 for intra PLMN external HO) Number of inter-PLMN TCH outgoing handovers or directed retry attempts: HANDOVER COMMAND sent to the MS on Abis for an external TCH HO or an external DR triggered towards a cell belonging to a PLMN different from the PLMN of the serving cell. z MC462c (equivalent of MC646 for intra PLMN external HO) Number of inter-PLMN TCH outgoing handovers or directed retry successes: CLEAR COMMAND with Cause "Handover successful" received from the MSC for an external TCH HO or an external DR triggered towards a cell belonging to a PLMN different from the PLMN of the serving cell. z MC463a (equivalent of MC820 for intra PLMN external HO) Number of inter-PLMN TCH incoming handovers or directed retry requests: HANDOVER REQUEST received from the MSC for an external TCH HO or an external DR triggered towards the target cell from a serving cell belonging to a PLMN different from the PLMN of the target cell. z MC463b (equivalent of MC821 for intra PLMN external HO) Number of inter-PLMN TCH incoming handovers or directed retry attempts: HANDOVER REQUEST ACK sent by the target BSC containing the HANDOVER COMMAND for an external TCH HO or an external DR triggered towards the target cell from a serving cell belonging to a PLMN different from the PLMN of the target cell. z MC463c (equivalent of MC642 for intra PLMN external HO) Number of inter-PLMN TCH incoming handovers or directed retry successes: HANDOVER COMPLETE received from the MS on Abis for an external TCH HO or an external DR triggered towards the target cell from a serving cell belonging to a PLMN different from the PLMN of the target cell.

Coverage
z
Coverage hole
Coverage hole may exist when coverage areas of two BTSs do not overlap or there are some big obstacles in the coverage area, this lead to no signal or very poor signal level.
z
Over shooting
In the actual network, the high BTS antenna can propagate far away along a road and serve in area which its not suppose to serve in; which result in the "isolate Island" problem. Interference Interference usually occurs when more than one idle channel appear in the highest interference band. If the interference is internal, it will usually increase with the growth of traffic. If the interference is external, it is usually not related to traffic, but it may increase with the traffic growth if the interference is from the close analog network. There is also the possibility to work with the RMS (per TRX). If there are high Rx_lev but bad quality, it indicates that co-channel and/or adjacent-channel interference exist. Congestion: see previous case study Timer mismatching: check with the NSS team whether BSS-NSS parameters are well set.
