General Handover
Measurement
General handover measurement aims to measure the process of
MS handover, to find out successes, failures and causes of
failures, to find out the traffic sharing, and to improve the
wireless configuration of the cell.
This chapter describes the definition, usage and measurement
point of various counters.

Overview
General handover counter is used to find out MS handover
successes, failures, and frequency of abnormal events during
handover. After configured with inter-system handover or
concentric circle, general handover counter is also used to find
out inter-cell traffic sharing to improve the wireless planning.
The measurement takes cell as the statistics unit.

Number of intra-cell invalid handovers

Description

This counter counts the number of intra-cell invalid handovers.

Invalid handover refers to that: handovers continue to happen in
a cell where there is UL/DL interference; if the number of the
handovers exceeds the pre-set threshold, intra-cell handover
punishment will be triggered to stop the continuous handovers;
if there is no new interference handover during sending the
measurement report of pre-set number, then the next handover
will be considered valid.

Usage

This counter is used to find out the frequency of intra-cell invalid

handover attempts. It is one of the parameters to measure the
wireless environment.

Measurement
Point

When BSC receives the channel application request, if the

application cause is intra-cell interference handover, and such
interference handover has already occurred in the pre-defined
scope of time, the counter increments. The measurement point
is A, as shown in Figure 23.

Adjacent Cell Handover

Measurement
This chapter contains detailed information about counters
related to adjacent cell handover measurement. It records the
number of attempts, failure, and success of MS handover from
one cell to another and the number of handover so as to find out
the handover situation of the cell and its adjacent cell for radio
configuration optimization.

Overview
Adjacent cell handover counter is used to record the number of
outgoing handover or incoming handover so as to find out the
handover between the cell and its adjacent cell which lays a
basis for configuration of adjacent cell and improves service
quality of the cell through handover.
The measurement takes cell as the statistics unit.

Radio Access
Measurement
Radio access measurement describes MS radio random access
process, including number of access attempt due to various
reasons, number of processing and number of success. This
chapter contains definitions, usages and measurement points of
counters in radio access measurement.

Overview
Radio access counter is mainly used to observe MS radio random
access process as the reference of radio access parameter
adjustment, signaling channel allocation strategy, etc. Several
possible causes of radio access are listed here. Access statistics
related to GPRS is not listed here but in the category of other
access request temporarily.
The number of access request is that of receiving Channel
Required message; the number of successful access process is
that of sending Immediate Assignment message.
The slot-aloha protocol used in radio access allows many access
requests in one access. We can use the percentage of the
number of successful access process to the number of access
request to describe access success rate. This value represents
signaling channel congestion extent. The percentage of the
number of successful access to the number of access request
represents the collision status in radio access request. If this
value is low, we shall consider factors such as the interval
between access requests, and check whether it is reasonable.
The measurement takes cell as the statistics unit.
Radio access flow and related counters locations are shown in
Figure 35.

Radio Measurement
Cell radio measurement describes the status of interference and
service quality of occupied and idle cell channels. This chapter
contains definitions, usages and measurement points of counters
in cell radio measurement.

Overview
Cell radio measurement items mainly include UL/DL quality,
signal strength, TA, interference band and RQ value of radio
channels. The UL/DL quality, signal strength, TA and RQ value
are counted after measurement report or pre-processing
measurement report sent by BTS is received; BSC updates
interference band status in database after receiving
measurement report or pre-processing measurement report. The
value of interference band can be inquired in database when
periodical measurement is reported.
The measurement takes cell as the statistics unit.

Sub Cell Statistics

Task of sub cell statistics is to measure channel and handover
status among sub cells, with focus on traffic sharing condition at
the second sub cell.
This chapter introduces the meaning, usage, and measurement
point of sub cell statistics counter.

Overview
Sub cell statistics counter is used to find out operation status of
the sub cell in radio environment. It focuses on inter-sub-cell
handover and relevant counting at the second sub cell so as to
check traffic absorption condition by the second sub cell.
The measurement takes sub cell as the statistics unit.

Number of TCH/F call drops in the second sub cell

Description

This counter counts the number of call drops in TCH/F channel in

the second sub cell.

Usage

This counter is used to find out the frequency of call drops in

TCH/F channel in the second sub cell, as one of the references
for radio environment in the second sub cell.

Measurement
Point

During call drops, if current channel is TCH/F, this counter

increments. Call drops include following cases:

After handover and deliver assignment command in cell, call

drops occur due to 3107 timer timeout;

MS TA Measurement
This chapter contains detailed information about counters
related to MS TA measurement.

Overview
MS TA counters are used to check the value of TA in MS
measurement reports. TA can reflect the relative location of MS
in the cell. If most of the TAs are in very high level, network
planning should be remade, such as, increasing the site density.
The measurement takes cell as the statistics unit.

SAPI3 Measurement
This chapter contains detailed information about counters
related to SAPI3 measurement.

Overview
MO-SM is short message of mobile originating call; MT-SM is
short messages of mobile terminating call. In conversation
status, the MS can receive point-to-point message so the mobile
caller maybe the other side of receiving short message at one
time. On the wireless side, short message could be transmitted
by the following five channels: SACCH/F, SACCH/H, SDCCH,
FACCHF and FACCHH. So far the statistics counting has been
realized by the channel of SACCH/F, SACCH/H and SDCCH.
The measurement takes cell as the statistics unit.

TRX Measurement
TRX measurement task mainly considers TRX as its object to
count its resource distribution, seizure, assignment, traffic, and
interference, as an evidence of carrier, channel configuration,
and relevant parameter adjustment.
This chapter introduces the meaning and measurement point to
measure different performance counters by TRX.

Overview
TRX measurement is to measure the success or failure condition
of channel activation, assignment, and handover in the unit of
carrier. It also can measure carrier interference band, maximum
and minimum UL & DL level condition, to learn the status of
different carriers, providing evidence for adjustment and
maintenance.

Timeslot Measurement
This chapter contains detailed information about counters
related to TS measurement.

Overview
Timeslot counters are used to view the radio transceiver
environment of a MS in a particular timeslot, including the link
quality and strength in the timeslot. These data is sent to
Network side through measurement report. If signal strength in
some timeslots is weak, then it can be improved by changing
send and receive power.
The measurement takes cell as statistics unit.

Number of SDCCH seizure success for Handover

Description

SDCCH allocation attempt is triggered by the channel request

message RADIO_APPLY from other channel instances. BSC
attempts to allocate SDCCH after receiving the message. If
SDCCH allocation and seizure succeed, the counter increments.
If application response shows no SDCCH available but queuing
or forced release is possible, enter the state of waiting for
resource. If SDCCH is available after waiting, then the counter
increments. If application response shows transceiver is faulty,
the three counters do not change.

Usage

This counter records the number of SDCCH seizure success for

handover.

TCH/F Measurement
Task of TCH/F measurement is to mainly measure TCH/F related
resource allocation, seizure, assignment, and usage. This
chapter introduces the meaning, usage and measurement point
to measure different performance counters by TCH/F.

Overview
In GSM BSC signaling system, allocation and usage of TCH/F
channel mainly exist in assignment and handover flow, where
assignment flow includes immediate assignment and common
assignment; handover flow includes internal and external
handover.
For the measurement positions of TCH/F counter in immediate
assignment flow, see Figure 190.

Resource request to iTC failure (Speech version 1)

Description

This counter counts the number of data TCH/F allocation failure

for handover due to resource request to iTC failure (speech
version 1) during handover of voice channel.
After BSC responds channel request message allocation and
successfully seizes TCH/F channel, BSC requests TC resource
after determining channel types are changed. If application of
iTC resource fails due to receive the messages of unavailable iTC
resource, incorrect response, or timer timeout, this leads to
TCH/F assignment failure, and this counter accumulates.

Measurement
Point

BSC uses TCH/F due to handover; this counter accumulates

when it receives the messages of unavailable iTC, incorrect
response, or timer timeout during iTC resource application. The
measurement points are C1 and D1, as shown in Figure 205 and
Figure 206.

TCH/H Measurement
This chapter contains detailed information about counters
related to TCH/H measurement.

Overview
During GSM BSC signaling system, the allocation uses of TCH/H
channel mainly exist in assignment and handover processes. The
assignment processes include immediate assignment, general
assignment; handover processes include inner handover and
outer handover.
The measurement point of TCH/H counters in immediate
assignment process is shown in Figure 190.
When TC is internal and external, the measurement point of
TCH/H counter in general assignment processes is shown in
Figure 191 and Figure 192.
When TC is internal and external, the measurement point of
TCH/H counter in inner handover process is shown in Figure 193
and Figure 194.
When TC is internal and external, the measurement point of
TCH/H counter in outer handover process is shown in Figure 195
and Figure 196.
