Description
Number of SDCCH seizure attempts for assignment

SDCCH channel allocation attempt is activated by the MS
channel request message CHL_REQ. After BSC receives this
message, it attempts to allocate channel for the request.
If allocation and occupation succeed, C900060003 and

C900060004 accumulate simultaneously.
If occupation fails and the failure is due to transceiver fault,
C900060003, C900060004, and C900060005 do not change.
For failures in other cases, C900060003 and C900060005
accumulate simultaneously.
Usage
This counter counts the number of SDCCH channel occupation

attempts during assignment, including the number of occupation
success (C900060004) and the number of occupation failure
(C900060005).
Measurement

Downlink Data TBF

Measurement
related to random access measurement.
Downlink (DL) data TBF measurement collects information of the
DL TBF establishment and release in a cell. It includes GPRS TBF
and EGPRS TBF. Some measurement is made for signaling TBF
and data TBF respectively. This chapter gives detailed
information about the DL TBF measurement.
Overview
DL TBF process comprises establishment, transmission and
release of the DL TBF.
The establishment includes the DL TBF establishment on CCCH,
PCCCH and PACCH.
The release includes normal release and abnormal release of the
DL TBF. Abnormal release is used to judge the running of PS
service so as to make adjustment.
DL transmission measurement mainly focuses on the connecting
time of the DL TBF and the number of co-existing DL TBFs.

Uplink/Downlink RLC
Statistic Measurement
related to Uplink (UL)/Downlink (DL) RLC statistics counters.
Overview
RLC blocks are classified into control block and data block based
on the content. Data block includes RLC block waiting to be
acknowledged (Pending block), retransmitted block (NACK
block), and first-transmitted block (new blocks excluding
retransmitted RLC block and pending RLC blocks).
RLC coding scheme includes CS1 ~ CS4 and MCS1 ~ MCS9.
Coding scheme is set at background and can be adjusted by BSC
according to the link quality.
UL/DL RLC statistics is used to find out the number of RLC blocks
with different coding schemes received and sent by BSC as well
as coding scheme adjustment times during transmission process.
Figure 197 shows the measurement point of DL pending RLC
block.

Time of DL PDCH congestion

This counter counts the time during which the service instance
fails to apply DL PDCHs (namely the total time of DL PDCH
congestion).
If DL PDCH application fails, BSC records the congestion label
and the time when congestion starts. If DL PDCH application
succeeds, BSC clears the congestion label. When applying for DL
PDCH, if the congestion label is set, the current time minus the
congestion time of the previous record leaves the new
congestion time.
Before DL PDCH is released, if the congestion label is set, such
calculation repeats. When getting the periodic measurement
value, if the congestion label is set, such calculation repeats. The
accumulation of these calculations makes the total time of DL
PDCH congestion.
Usage
Measurement
Point
This counter is used to find out the busyness of DL PDCH, which

may be used as a reference for whether more PDCHs should be
configured.
The measurement is taken at three time points listed below:
Before DL PDCH attempts to occupy, if the congestion label

is set, this counter calculates the congestion time and
accumulates them.
Before DL PDCH is released, if the congestion label is set,
this counter calculates the congestion time and accumulates
them.
When reporting the measurement data periodically, if the
congestion label is set, this counter calculates the congestion
time and accumulates them.

RMM Assignment
Measurement
RMM assignment measurement describes assignment status,
including assignment attempt, execution and queuing due to
various reasons. This chapter contains definitions, usages and
measurement points of counters in assignment measurement.
Overview
RMM assignment counter describers the assignment process. As
many attempts can be made if no channel is available in the first
assignment attempt, it is necessary to make a completed
description of the whole assignment process instead of the
assignment processes of TCH/F or TCH/H. These counters are
used to analyze influences of forced release, queuing and
directed retry, to assignment success rate from the viewpoint of
calling.

Handover cause measurement describes frequency of MS
handover due to various causes; it is used for checking cell radio
environment. This chapter contains definitions, usages and
measurement points of counters related to handover cause
measurement.
Overview
Handover cause counter is used for checking MS handover
causes. According to cell radio environment and BSC settings,
handover algorithm judgment module can carry out handover
due to several different handover causes, so as to realize
functions such as optimizing resource usage, improving call
quality and rescuing calls.

Number of handover attempts due to directed retry
Description
During the process of MS requests channel, if radio resource is

congested, then it will attempt to request an available channel
from adjacent cell for this call. This is called direct retry, which is
a kind of handover. This counter counts the number of handover
attempts due to direct retry.
Usage
This counter is used to find out MS access process and to check

cell channel utilizing status. If the statistic number counted by
the counter is relative high, then it means the cell does not have
337
enough radio resource and capacity expansion shall be taken

into account.
Measurement
Point
In assignment process, the counter increments if source

instance receives message that no available radio resource
replied by target instance, then it chooses cell list successfully
and try to attempt cells in the list. This counter is handover
cause counter and used for finding out cell channel congestion
status, so the counter only counts in the initial judgment. The

parameter, etc. This chapter introduces definitions, usages and
measurement points of counters in RMM call drop measurement.
Overview
Channels that take part in the measurement statistic include
SDCCH, TCH/F and TCH/H. Service types include signaling, voice
and data. Counted call drop causes include RMM losses contact
with SMM, BTS radio link failure, LAPD link failure, OMCR forced
release, forced release by other calls, handover failure, as well as
other failure.

Availability Measurement
Radio resource available measurement describes the utilizing
status of radio channel resource in each cell. This chapter
introduces definitions, usages and measurement points of
counters in radio resource available measurement.
Overview
Radio resource available measurement counters count the
number, mean number and the maximum busy number of
available SDCCH, TCH/H and TCH/F, as well as total busy and
congestion time of these channels in the cell.

Description
Peak processor load

This counter counts the maximum number of busy SDCCHs in
the cell within measurement period; its value represents SDDCH
instantaneous occupation status and the busiest extent.
System records SDCCH occupation number in cells. The
occupation number increments after SDCCH has been occupied
successfully; the occupation number decrements before SDCCH
has been released. The counter value updates as occupation
number if BSC judges that the counter value is smaller than the
occupation number after SDCCH has been occupied successfully
and before SDCCH has been released, as well as when
measurement data are reported periodically.
Update occupation number before SDCCH has been released is
because SDCCH status in the previous measurement period has
been taken into account.
Usage
Measurement
