PS Basic Measurement
(BSC)
PS basic measurement (BSC) aims to make a statistic of the

performance related with packet switching service on BSC level.
This chapter describes the definition, usage and measurement
point of various counters.
Overview
PS basic measurement (BSC) consists of statistic of the number
of bytes received from data link and bytes sent to data link.
The measurement takes BSC as the statistics unit.

PS Basic Measurement
(Cell)
PS basic measurement (Cell) collects formation of the PS service

(Cell) performance. This chapter gives detailed information
about the PS basic measurement (Cell).
Overview
PS basic measurement (Cell) involves the ordinary counters
used to measure the PS service performance and status, such as
the uplink (UL) /downlink (DL) TBF counter, the flow counter,
the UL/DL PACCH counter, the UL/DL RLC counter, the UL/DL
GPRS data counter, the UL/DL EGPRS data counter, and the PS
resource counter.
The measurement takes cell as the statistics unit.

CPU Load Measurement
CPU load measurement aims to make a statistic of the

performance related with circuit switching service on BSC level.
This chapter describes the definition, usage and measurement
point of various counters.
Overview
CPU load measurement consists of statistic of the average value
and peak value of CPU load.
The measurement takes BSC as the statistics unit.

Chapter 4
CS Basic Measurement
This chapter contains detailed information about counters

related to CS basic measurement.
Overview
CS basic measurement involves counters that are used to
evaluate the circuit switching service performance and status.
These counters are often used in measurement related to radio
access, SDCCH, TCH, SAPI3, call drop, handover, Abis interface
message statistics, and radio resource availability.
The measurement takes cell as the statistics unit.

through BTS to request for radio channel, if TA does not exceed
the cell range and the access reason is “MTC”, the counter
increments.
Usage This counter is used to find out the frequency of channel request
due to MTC.
Measurement The counter counts when MS requests for channel from BSC and

Description This counter counts the number of MS successfully accessing the
channel assigned in the immediate assignment message (the

access reason is due to MTC). The counter increments when the

following two conditions are satisfied:
MS receives the IMM_ASS message from BSC and
successfully accesses the channel.
BSC receives the EST_IND message from MS.

success due to MTC.
Measurement This counter counts when BSC receives the EST_IND message.

Definition Number of SDCCH seizure attempts for assignment
Description 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 This counter counts when BSC completes requesting for channel
Point (due to assignment) (C900060004 + C900060005). The
measurement point is A1, as shown in Figure 100.

successfully. If the problem is due to handover failure, this
counter increments.
Presently, reasons for handover failure include T3107 timeout,
T3103 timeout and external handover timer timeout under the

T3107 indicates the duration from sending the intra-cell
handover command ASSIGN_CMD to receiving the assignment
completion message ASSIGN_COM. T3103 indicates the duration
from sending the inter-cell handover command HOINTER_CMD

to receiving the assignment completion message HOINTER_COM.

The external handover timer indicates the duration from sending

Definition Number of SDCCH assignment attempts
Description After BSC responds to the channel request to allocate and
activate SDCCH channel successfully, BSC sends the IMM_ASS
message to notify MS to use this channel. After MS receives this
message, it sends SABM frame to BTS on SDCCH. BTS then
sends the EST_IND message to BSC after receiving SABM frame.
If BSC receives the correct EST_IND message within
specified time, it indicates that the SDCCH channel
assignment succeeds, C900060241 and C900060242
If BSC receives the incorrect EST_IND message or T3101 is
timeout, it indicates that the SDCCH channel assignment fails,
C900060241 and C900060243 accumulate simultaneously.
Usage This counter counts the number of SDCCH channel assignment
attempts when BSC sends the IMM_ASS message to notify MS to
use the allocated SDCCH channel. The counter’s value includes
the number of assignment success (C900060242) and the
number of assignment failure (C900060243).
Measurement This counter counts when BSC receives the EST_IND message or
Point the assignment completion message, or when T3101 is timeout
Unit Times
C900060242
Definition Number of SDCCH assignments success

If BSC receives the correct EST_IND message within specified
time, it indicates that the SDCCH channel assignment succeeds,
then this counter increments.
Usage This counter counts the number of MS successfully accessing
SDCCH channel when BSC sends the IMM_ASS message.

Measurement This counter counts when BSC receives the correct EST_IND
Point message or the assignment completion message. The
Unit Times
C900060243
Definition Number of SDCCH assignment failure
If BSC receives the incorrect EST_IND message or T3101 is
timeout, it indicates that the SDCCH channel assignment fails,
then this counter increments.
Usage This counter counts the number of MS failing to access SDCCH
channel when BSC sends the IMM_ASS message.
Measurement This counter counts when BSC receives the incorrect EST_IND
Point message or when T3101 is timeout. The measurement point is
Unit Times
C900060244
Definition Number of voice TCH/F drops due to radio link failure
Description This counter counts the number of voice TCH/F drops due to
radio link failure. After MS applies for TCH/F voice channel, call
drops. If this problem is caused by radio link failure, then this
counter increments.
Usage This counter is used to learn the call drop frequency caused by
raio link failure on TCH/F voice.
Measurement On TCH/F voice channel, when BSC receives Connection Failure
Point Indication message at Abis interface, this counter counts. The

C900060245
Definition Number of voice TCH/H drops due to radio link failure
Description This counter counts the number of voice TCH/H drops due to
radio link failure. After MS applies for TCH/H voice channel, call
drops. If this problem is caused by radio link failure, then this
counter increments.
Usage This counter is used to learn the call drop frequency caused by
raio link failure on TCH/H voice.
Measurement On TCH/H voice channel, when BSC receives Connection Failure
Point Indication message at Abis interface, this counter counts. The
