TCH call Blocking , it present how many subscriber asks for TCH
channel and network reply with no available resource. So it present
how many subscriber request TCH channel to reject this request
TCH call drop
After subscriber get TCH and start converstion during it the call is
dropped for some reasons not related to the subscribers .
Example: SDCCH/8
During a 51er multiframe the SDCCH/8 occupies four consecutive
TDMA frames (four bursts are sent). Than the MS / BTS has to wait for
the next 51er multiframe (i.e. 235 ms) before the next Layer 2 frame
could be sent. 145 ms / 220 ms are shorter than the 51er multiframe
(235 ms) so in case of an missing acknowledgement this is always a
T200 expiry. The SDCCH drop will occur if T200 expired N200+1 times.
If the T200 is increased (for example to 500 ms) we have two 51er
multiframe to get the acknowledgement and the SDCCH drops are
reduced.
The Qos Stats show a clear & strong corelation between the KPI and
the parameter T200. That's amazing !
Regarding the Ack from the BTS, I'm not sure (and I'm tired to look in
the 3GPP specs :) ). Take the subchannel "0" from the SDCCH ts.
in DL : the BTS sends SDCCH/0 on burst 0, 1, 2, 3 and the SACCH/0 on
burst 32, 33, 34, 35
in UL : th MS sends SDCCH/0 on burst 15, 16, 17, 18
and the SACCH/0 on 47, 48, 49, 50
And I ***believe*** that the Lapdm acknowledgments can be sent on
either the SACCH or the SDCCH, since both of them are sent over the
same LapDm link. I'm not sure at all about this though, but it sounds
logical.
The value of the SDCCH Drop due to Radio failures (in ALU) is usually
around 1% in a fairly good network. The SDCCH Drop due to Radio
Failures is a counter that encompasses both the Radio Link Timeout
and the "T200*N200+1 times" failures.
I am not able to test your changes because I am not working on a live
network (i am a gsm trainer, living in a world of theory...)
T200 = 220ms for sDCCH SAPI0
= 450ms for SDCCH SAPI3
= 900ms for SACCH associated to SDCCH
Looking at those timers, I fear that the LapDm link for SDCCH is
different than the LapDm link for the SACCH of the SDCCH... I'll let you
look it up though :)
3. Release Indication
When the BTS received a layer 2 DISC frame from the mobile it replies
with a Layer 2 UA frame to the mobile station and a Release Indication
to the BSC. The system does only react on Release Indication if it is
received during a normal disconnection situation. If such a message is
received unexpectedly this will usually cause radio link time-out or
timer T200 expiration as the mobile station stops the transmitting of
measurement reports. It is also possible that the release will be normal
depending on when the Release Indication is received.
4. MSC Time-Out
Normal Release:
If the MSC never received a response on a message (e.g. Identity
Request) and there is no radio link time-out or layer 2 time-out, the
MSC will send a Clear Command to the BSC. The time-out is depending
on the message. When receiving Clear Command, the BSC will send a
Channel Release (cause: normal release) and then deactivates the
SACCH.
Reject (only SDCCH):
The drops counters due to Low Signal Strength will be pegged when
the Signal Strength during the last Measurement Report before the call
dropped is below the LOWSSDL and/or LOWSSUL Thresholds. LOWSSDL
and LOWSSUL are BSC Exchange Property parameters which is used
only for statistics purposes and does not affect the behavior of calls. If
both UL and DL Signal Strength are below the thresholds, only Drop
due to Low SS BL will pegged. Normally a call is dropped at the border
of large rural cell with insufficient coverage. Bad tunnel coverage
cause many dropped calls as well as so called coverage holes. Bad
indoor coverage will result in dropped calls. Building shadowing could
be another reason.
Action:
Check coverage plots.
Check output power.
Check power balance and link budget.
Check if Omni site.
Check antenna configuration & type.
Check antenna installation.
Perform drive tests & site survey.
Check TRX/TS with high CONERRCNT.
Solution:
Add a repeater to increase coverage in for example a tunnel.
Change to a better antenna (with higher gain) for the base station.
Add a new base station if there are large coverage holes.
Block/Deblock TRX
TCH Drop Reasons (3)
Poor Quality on Down or Uplink or Both Links
The drops counters due to Bad Quality will be pegged when the Signal
Strength during the last Measurement Report before the call dropped is
above the BADQDL and/or BADQUL Thresholds. BADQDL and BADQUL
(expressed in DTQU) are BSC Exchange Property parameters which is
used only for statistics purposes and does not affect the behavior of
calls. If both UL and DL Quality are above the thresholds, only Drop due
to BAD Quality BL will pegged.
Problem on Bad Quality is usually associated with Co-channel
Interference on BCCH or TCH. Faulty MAIO assignment can cause
frequency collisions on co-sited cells especially on 1x1 Reuse. External
interference is also one possible cause of problem on quality.
Action:
Check C/I and C/A plots.
Check Frequency Plan (Co-BCCH or Co-BSIC Problem).
Check MAIO, HOP, HSN parameters.
Check FHOP if correctly configured (BB or SY).
Check for External Interference.
Perform drive tests.
Solution:
Change BCCH frequency.
Change BSIC.
Change MAIO, HOP, HSN.
Change FHOP.
Record RIR or on-site Frequency Scanning to identify source of
interference.
Use available radio features.
TCH Drop Reasons (4)
Sudden Loss of Connection
Drops due to Sudden Loss are drops that have not been registered as
low signal strength, excessive timing advance, bad quality or hardware
(other) reasons, and the locating procedure indicates missing
measurement results from the MS.
There are some common scenarios that could lead to Sudden Loss of
connections such as very sudden and severe drops in signal strength,
such as when subscribers enter into buildings, elevators, parking
garages, etc., very sudden and severe occurrence of interference, MS
runs out of battery during conversation, Handover Lost, BTS HW faults,
Synchronization or A-bis link fault (transmission faults), and
MS Faults.
Action:
Check BTS Error Logs, Alarms and Fault Codes.
Check CONERRCNT per TRX and TS.
Check Transmission Link (A-bis).
Check for DIP Slips.
Check LAPD Congestion.
Correlate Handover Lost to Drops due to Sudden Loss
Solution:
Fix Hardware Faults and Alarms.
Reset TRX with high CONERRCNT.
Ensure that Synchronization and A-bis Link are stable.
Change RBLT with high DIP Slips.
Mobile Error
Some old mobiles may cause dropped calls if certain radio network
features are used. Another reason is that the MS is damaged and not
working properly.
Action: Check MS fleet.
Solution: Inform operator.
Subscriber Behavior
Poorly educated subscribers could use their handsets incorrectly by not
raising antennas, choosing illadvised locations to attempt calls, etc.
Action: Check customer complaints and their MS.
Battery Flaw
When a subscriber runs out of battery during a conversation, the call
will be registered as dropped call due to low signal strength or others.
Action: Check if MS power regulation is used. Check if DTX uplink is
used.
Congestion on TCH
The SDCCH is dropped when congestion on TCH.
Action: Check TCH congestion
Solution: Increase capacity on TCH or using features like Assignment
to another cell, Cell Load Sharing, HCS, Dynamic Half-Rate Allocation
and FR-HR Mode Adaptation etc.
T3103 and T3105 differences
Timer rr_t3103 (0-1000000, default 5000) digunakan untuk

Parameter link nirkabel Ultra (radio_link_timeout) akan mempengaruhi
ketika ukuran tingkat drop call dan pemanfaatan sumber daya jaringan
nirkabel. Parameter link nirkabel Ultra (radio_link_timeout) akan
mempengaruhi ketika ukuran tingkat drop call dan pemanfaatan

terputusnya sambungan yang disebabkan oleh kegagalan link nirkabel.
