[RF] Call Drops on Traffic Channel Huawei

June 6, 2011 Description :

This measurement provides the number of call drops due to various reasons after the MS seizes a traffic channel. The MS seizures a TCH in any of the following conditions: The MS sends an ASS CMP message to the BSC; The MS seizes a TCH and sends an HO CMP message to the BSC.

Measurement Point : When a TCH is seized to carry traffic during a call, this counter is measured in the following situations: 1. The BSC receives an ERROR INDICATION message from the BTS because of the abnormal connection at the radio link layer. For details, refer to GSM Rec. 08.58. 2. The BSC receives a CONNECTION FAILURE INDICATION message from the BTS because of the radio link fault or hardware fault. For details, refer to GSM Rec. 08.58. 3. When receiving a DISC frame on a link layer connection in multi-frame mode, the BTS sends a REL IND message to the BSC. For details, refer to GSM Rec. 08.58. 4. The timer set to wait for an HO CMP message expires during internal intra-cell handover. 5. The timer set to wait for an HO CMP message expires during outgoing internal inter-cell handover. 6. The timer set to wait for an HO CMP message expires during outgoing external inter-cell handover. 7. The timer set to wait for an HO CMP message expires during incoming external inter-cell handover. 8. The BSC does not receive any measurement report within a certain period (by default, five minutes) and sends a CLEAR COMMAND message to the MSC to release the call. 9. The BSC detects a broken RSL and releases all the calls on the RSL. 10. A call drop occurs due to any of the following situations: TRX mutual aid; dynamic modification of cell attributes, TRX frequencies, or TRX FH data; dynamic deletion of cells or TRXs; blocking of cells, TRXs, or channels.

11. The timer set to wait for the outgoing BSC handover command expires, or the clear request message is received from the MSC before the timer expires. 12. A call drop occurs due to call assignment failure during the handover. 13. The MSC cannot send a short message because the data configuration prohibits the downlink short messages or because of flow control and the call is released. 14. A call drop occurs due to software error. 15. After seizing a channel, the MS fails to start a local switching due to terrestrial resource request failure, failures on the BTS side, or timer expiration. 16. During the handover of the call in the local switching state, the BSC releases the call after receiving a HANDOVER DETECT message from the BTS and then a HANDOVER FAILURE message from the MS. 17. After a call is in the BSC or BTS local switching state, if the local switching cannot be proceeded for handover or other reasons, the BSC restores the call to the common call state. If the restoration fails due to terrestrial resource request failure or other reasons, the BSC releases the call.
