Subsystem 0 of the main control SPU board is the Main Processing Unit (MPU) subsystem. It
manages the user-plane, control-plane, and transmission resources of the UMTS.
Other subsystems of the main control SPU board and all subsystems of non-main control SPU
boards are CPUS subsystems. They process control-plane services.
Different types of SPU boards have different number of subsystems. For example, each SPUa
board has four subsystems, and each SPUb board has eight subsystems. In addition, an SPUa
subsystem and an SPUb subsystem have different processing capabilities.
The CPUS measurement is performed only to assess the performance of a single CPUS
subsystem.
FunctionSubSets
FunctionSubSet FunctionSubSet Name
Overview
The CPUS subsystem measurement provides the performance of a single CPUS in terms of the
number of setup and release times of different services, and the number of times that each type
of messages are discarded due to flow control.
If the value of a flow control-related counter increases dramatically in a period, check whether
a signaling storm has occurred in the corresponding period.

Description
This measurement counter provides the equivalent Erlang of all CS-domain services of each
subsystem in the RNC.
Measurement point
The RNC takes samples on the equivalent Erlang of all CS-domain services of each subsystem
in the RNC every five seconds. At the end of the measurement period, the RNC divides the
accumulated value of all sampling data in the measurement period by the number of sampling
times to obtain the equivalent Erlang of all CS-domain services of each subsystem in the RNC,
include the equivalent Erlang of all radio links of Soft Handover.When a CS-domain service
accesses the RNC, the service rate is converted into equivalent Erlang, and then the CS-domain
equivalent Erlang of the corresponding subsystem in the current RNC is increased. When a CS-
domain service is released from the RNC, the service rate is converted into equivalent Erlang,
and then the Erlang of the corresponding subsystem in the current RNC is decreased.

Subsystem 0 of the main control SPU board is the Main Processing Unit (MPU) subsystem. It
manages the user-plane, control-plane, and transmission resources of the UMTS.
Other subsystems of the main control SPU board and all subsystems of non-main control SPU
boards are CPUS subsystems. They process control-plane services.
Different types of SPU boards have different number of subsystems. For example, each SPUa
board has four subsystems, and each SPUb board has eight subsystems. In addition, an SPUa
subsystem and an SPUb subsystem have different processing capabilities.
The MPU measurement is performed only to assess the performance of a single MPU subsystem.

This counter provides the total uplink PS throughput in the MPU subsystem, including
retransmitted data. This counter is measured at the Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, whereas
RLC headers are not measured. During soft handovers, the throughput is measured before the
RNC combines the traffic on each link.
Measurement point
The RNC takes samples on the uplink traffic of all PS services every five seconds in the specified
measurement period. At the end of the measurement period, the RNC divides the accumulated
uplink traffic by the sampling duration to obtain the uplink PS throughput of the MPU in the

Overview
The NodeB algorithm measurement involves the Iub congestion measurement, NodeB
unavailability measurement, dynamic spectrum sharing measurement, and uplink NodeB credit
resource consumption for UE admission.
Iub congestion measurement is aimed to check whether the configured Iub bandwidth can meet
the requirements of UEs under the NodeB. Based on this measurement result, operators can
perform fault location or determine whether capacity expansion is required. The RNC
periodically monitors the bandwidth usage of each Iub path under the NodeB. If the remaining
bandwidth is less than a congestion left bandwidth threshold, the RNC determines that
congestion occurs and sends a congestion indication message. After the RNC detects that the
remaining bandwidth is more than the congestion clear clearing threshold, it sends a congestion
elimination message.
NodeB unavailability measurement is aimed to detect the condition that a NodeB becomes
unavailable due to a fault or misoperation. This measurement can be used to analyze the impact
of the fault or misoperation on services.
Dynamic spectrum sharing enables the UMTS network to use some spectrums of the GSM
network when the GSM traffic is light. Dynamic spectrum sharing measurement is used to assess
the performance of this function.
These counters measure the NodeB credit usage when CE Overbooking is enabled to determine
whether to perform capacity expansion for CE resources and to locate the fault.

Overview
Hard handover is a handover procedure in which all the existing radio links connected to a UE
are released before a new one is set up. That is, communication on the old radio link is interrupted
and then that on the new radio link is established. Therefore, the performance of hard handover
is not as good as that of soft handover. In normal cases, hard handover is triggered by the
coverage, QoS, HCS, and LDR algorithm.
Hard handovers are mainly classified into the intra-frequency handover and inter-frequency
handover. Intra-frequency hard handover: In this mode, the cells that the UE camps on before
and after the handover use the same frequency. The intra-frequency hard handover can be
performed only when soft handover is not available. The intra-frequency hard handover is
performed through blind handover triggered by event 1D or 1F of intra-frequency measurement
events. Inter-frequency hard handover: In this mode, the cells that the UE camps on before and
after the handover use different frequencies. In addition, the inter-frequency hard handover
involves the inter-band hard handover. Inter-frequency hard handover can balance the loads and
achieve seamless connection between different TRXs. Generally, before an inter-frequency hard
handover, the UE requires compressed mode configurations to perform an inter-frequency
measurement according to its capability. The decision of inter-frequency hard handover is
mainly based on inter-frequency measurement reports.
When deciding to perform a hard handover, the RNC sends the PHYSICAL CHANNEL
RECONFIGURATION message, TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message,
RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION message, RADIO BEARER SETUP message, or
RADIO BEARER RELEASE message to the UE for response. If the RNC receives the
PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message, TRANSPORT
CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message, RADIO BEARER
RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message, RADIO BEARER SETUP COMPLETE
message, or RADIO BEARER RELEASE COMPLETE message from the UE in the target cell,
the hard handover succeeds. If the RNC receives the PHYSICAL CHANNEL
RECONFIGURATION FAILURE message, TRANSPORT CHANNEL
RECONFIGURATION FAILURE message, RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION
FAILURE message, RADIO BEARER SETUP FAILURE message, or RADIO BEARER

initiated by the RNC.
Measurement point
The measurement is triggered in point B as shown in the following figure, taking the PHYSICAL
CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message as an example. When initiating the intra-
frequency and inter-frequency hard handover, the RNC establishes RL and then sends the
RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST message to the NodeB. After the RNC receives the RADIO
LINK SETUP RESPONSE message indicating a successful RL establishment, the RNC sends
the PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to the UE. In this case, the RNC
measures the counter.

Overview
This function subset measures the CS inter-RAT handover between WCDMA and GSM at the
RNC level. The CS inter-RAT handover is classified into CS outgoing inter-RAT handover and
CS incoming inter-RAT handover.
The measurement of CS outgoing inter-RAT handover measures the handover from WCDMA
to GSM at the RNC level. CS outgoing inter-RAT handover can be divided into two phases: the
handover preparation phase and the handover execution phase. The handover preparation phase
starts from the time when the RNC makes the decision of CS outgoing inter-RAT handover and
sends a RELOCATION REQUIRED message to the CN, to the time when the RNC receives a
RELOCATION COMMAND message from the CN. If the handover preparation phase is
completed successfully, the outgoing inter-RAT handover execution phase is initiated when the
RNC sends a HANDOVER FROM UTRAN COMMAND message to the UE. The outgoing
inter-RAT handover execution phase lasts until the RNC receives an IU RELEASE COMMAND
message from the CN.
The measurement of CS incoming inter-RAT handover measures the handover from GSM to
WCDMA at the RNC level. CS incoming inter-RAT handover can be divided into two phases:
the handover preparation phase and the handover execution phase. The handover preparation
phase starts from the time when the RNC allocates resources for the UE after receiving a
RELOCATION REQUEST message, to the time when the RNC sends a RELOCATION
REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE message to the CN. After the handover preparation phase ends,
the handover execution phase starts. If the handover from GSM to WCDMA is completed
successfully, the UE sends a HANDOVER TO UTRAN COMPLETE message to the RNC.
Then the RNC sends a RELOCATION COMPLETE message to the CN, and the handover
execution phase is completed successfully.

Overview
The measurement of PS inter-RAT handover measures the inter-RAT handover between
WCDMA and GPRS from the perspective of the RNC. According to different initiators, PS
outgoing inter-RAT handover can be classified into two types:
PS inter-RAT handover initiated by the UE and PS inter-RAT handover initiated by the RNC.
After an UE sets up PS services in WCDMA, if the UE is in the state of CELL_FACH,
CELL_PCH, or URA_PCH, and the UE initiates a cell reselection from WCDMA to GPRS, the
handover is called PS inter-RAT handover initiated by the UE. If the UE is in the state of
CELL_DCH, and the RNC initiates CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN between
WCDMA and GPRS, the handover is called PS inter-RAT handover initiated by the RNC.

Overview
When the RNC receives a LOCATION REPORTING CONTROL message from the CN, it
utilizes different positioning methods to determine the position of a UE according to the
combinations of various factors.
After determining the appropriate positioning method, the RNC shall send positioning
measurement request to the NodeB or UE to obtain the measurement results used for the UE
position calculation. These positioning measurements include:
When the RNC receives a LOCATION RELATED DATA REQUEST message from the CN,
it determines the location-related assistance data according to the requested data type and sends
the data in the ASSISTANCE DATA DELIVERY message to the UE. If the data transmission
is successful, the RNC indicates the successful delivery to the CN in the LOCATION RELATED
DATA RESPONSE message. If the data delivery fails, the RNC indicates failure to the CN in
the LOCATION RELATED DATA FAILURE message.
Location-related assistance data is mainly used for a UE to determine its own position. The types
of assistance data presently supported by the RNC include:

Overview
To page an UE, the CN sends a PAGING message to the RNC. Then, the RNC sends a PAGING
TYPE 1 message or a PAGING TYPE 2 message to the UE according to the status of the UE.
If the paged UE is in idle mode, CELL_PCH state or URA_PCH state, the RNC shall send a
PAGING TYPE 1 message on the PCH to the cell in the paged area. If the UE is in CELL_PCH
state and EPCH is supported by the network and the UE, the RNC sends a PAGING TYPE 2
message to the cells in the paging area. If the UE is in CELL_FACH or CELL_DCH state, the
RNC shall send a PAGING TYPE 2 message to the UE on the DCCH.
In addition, the UTRAN can send a PAGING TYPE 1 message to an UE in idle mode,
CELL_PCH state or URA_PCH state for system information update. Also, the UTRAN can
send a PAGING TYPE 1 message to an UE in CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state for UE state
transition to support data transmission.
If the paged UE is in idle mode, it will send a RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message to the
RNC after receiving a PAGING TYPE 1 message. If the UE is in CELL_PCH or URA_PCH
state, it will send a CELL UPDATE message with the cell update cause of "paging response" to

This measurement item takes statistics of the ratio of the packet header size after all downlink
PS packets undergo Robust Header Compression (ROHC) to the header size before the ROHC
during a measurement period in the RNC. This measurement item is valid when the ROHC
algorithm is configured.
Measurement point
When a PDCP entity receives a downlink packet, it judges whether the packet is configured with
ROHC. If the packet is not configured with ROHC, the PDCP entity does not report this
measurement item. If the packet is configured with ROHC, the PDCP entity goes through the
sub-headers of the packet to obtain the chain size before adding the size to the item DL Packet
Header Size before Compression. After the compression, the PDCP entity then adds the new
sub-header chain size to the item DL Packet Header Size after Compression.
At the end of the measurement period, the PDCP entity reports the two item values to the
performance function subset and resets the two items. Then the performance function subset
calculates the compression ratio of the downlink packet headers under ROHC based on the
reported values of DL Packet Header Size before Compression and DL Packet Header Size after
Compression.

decompressed by Robust Header Compression (ROHC) to the total number of UL packets
undergoing ROHC decompression during a measurement period in the RNC. This measurement
item is valid when the ROHC algorithm is configured.
Measurement point
When a PDCP entity receives an uplink packet, it judges whether the packet is configured with
ROHC. If the packet is configured with ROHC, the value of the item Number of Uplink Packets
to Be Decompressed increases by 1. Then, if the decompression fails, the value of the item
Number of UL Packets Failing to Be Decompressed increases by 1. At the end of the
measurement period, the PDCP entity reports the two item values to the performance function
subset and resets the two items. Then, the performance function subset calculates the ratio of
Number of Uplink Packets Failing to Be Decompressed to Number of UL Packets to Be
Decompressed.

Overview
The CN in CS domain initiates the radio access bearer setup procedure by sending a RAB
ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message to the RNC.
After receiving the RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message, the RNC selects an appropriate
cell, allocates resources, and performs admission control based on the information in the message
(such as service type, QoS, and priority), the traffic load of the system, and the networking
strategy (such as DRD). The requirements of high-priority users are met preferentially(That is,
when the resources are insufficient and the UEs with low-priority cannot set up the RAB, the
RNC sends to the CN a RAB ASSGNMENT RESPONSE message if the queuing algorithm is
enabled, indicating that the RAB is in the queue to wait for resources).If the admission of the
RAB succeeds, the RNC starts the Iu transport connection setup procedure, the Iub radio bearer
setup procedure, and the Uu radio bearer setup procedure. At last, the RNC sends to the CN a
RAB ASSNMENT RESPONSE, indicating whether the RAB setup is successful.

Overview
If the parameters, such as QoS, of a PS service are changed after the RAB is set up, the CN sends
to the RNC a RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message.
If the RNC determines that the RAB modification is needed (a RAB exists before the RAB
ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message is received) after receiving the message, it sends to the UE
a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION message. If the RAB modification succeeds, the
UE sends to the RNC a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message. The

Overview
The RAB release can be classified into the following types:
1) The RAB release initiated by the RNC. When the RNC detects that the UE has no data to
transmit for a long period or the RNC is faulty (for example, the SRB resets or the AAL2 link
on the Iu interface is faulty), the RNC sends to the CN a RAB RELEASE REQUEST message
to release the RAB or an IU RELEASE REQUEST message to release the Iu connection. If the
cause value is "User Inactivity", "Normal Release", "Successful Relocation", "Network
Optimization", the RAB release is considered as normal release; otherwise, the RAB release is
considered as abnormal release. For details, see the middle of the figure.
2) The RAB release initiated by the CN. The RNC initiates the RAB release by sending the RAB
ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message and initiates the Iu connection release by sending the IU
RELEASE COMMAND message. All the RAB releases initiated by the CN are considered as
normal releases. For details, see the left part of the figure.
3) The RAB release initiated by the UE. The UE initiates the RAB release by sending the
SIGNALING CONNECTION RELEASE INDICATION message. According to the domain
information in the message, the RNC sends an IU RELEASE REQUEST message to the CN
node (SGSN or MSC) to release the Iu connection. After the Iu connection is released, the RNC
initiates the RRC release if no Iu connection exists in another domain. All the RAB releases
initiated by the UE are considered as normal releases. For details, see the right part of the figure.
Note: If the Iu interface is reset, released services will be regarded as being normally released.

The CS domain has four types of services, namely, conversational service, streaming service,
interactive service, and background service. At present, it only supports the first two services.
The PS domain carried on the DCH also has the same four types of services, among which the
conversational service supports eight variable rates, the streaming service supports eight variable
rates, the interactive service supports eight variable rates, and the background service supports
eight variable-rates.
UTRAN can provide different rates according to the resource status and requirement type. If the
RRC state of service switches from CELL_DCH to other states, the measurement item decreases
by one. If the RRC state of service switches from other states to CELL_DCH, the measurement
item increases by one. If the RRC state of service switches from CELL_DCH to CELL_DCH
and the bandwidth is adjusted, the old measurement item decreases by one and the new one
increases by one.

Overview
TRNC relocation involves two stages: TRNC relocation preparation and TRNC relocation
execution.
If the preparation procedure indicates that the relocation is a "UE not Involved" relocation, the
TRNC receives a RELOCATION COMMIT from the SRNC after successful relocation
preparation. If the preparation procedure indicates that the relocation is a "UE Involved"
relocation, the TRNC receives the reconfiguration response from the UE after successful
relocation preparation.
The reconfiguration procedure involves the following messages: RADIO BEARER SETUP

SRNC relocation execution is a procedure in which the SRNC sends a RELOCATION COMMIT
message to the TRNC or initiates a reconfiguration procedure to the UE after successful
preparation. If the preparation procedure indicates that the relocation is a "UE not Involved"
relocation, the SRNC sends a RELOCATION COMMIT message to the TRNC after successful
preparation. If the preparation procedure indicates that the relocation is a "UE Involved"
relocation, the SRNC initiates a reconfiguration procedure to the UE after successful preparation.
The reconfiguration procedure involves the following messages: RADIO BEARER SETUP
message, RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION message, RADIO BEARER RELEASE
message, TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, and PHYSICAL
CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message. If the SRNC receives a RADIO BEARER
SETUP FAILURE message, RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION FAILURE message,
RADIO BEARER RELEASE FAILURE message, TRANSPORT CHANNEL
RECONFIGURATION FAILURE message, or PHYSICAL CHANNEL
RECONFIGURATION FAILURE message, the reconfiguration fails.
During the relocation execution, if the SRNC receives an IU RELEASE COMMAND message
with the cause value of "Successful Relocation", "Normal Release", or "Network Optimization",
the relocation execution succeeds.

Overview
When an UE needs to access the network, setting up the RRC connection is the first step. From
the cell where the UE is located, the UE sends a RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message to
request network access.
After receiving the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message, the RNC initiates the admission
procedure and allocates relevant resources to the UE. Following successful allocation of
resources, the RNC sends a RRC CONNECTION SETUP message to the UE and waits for a
RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE message, a response message from the UE. When
the RNC receives a RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE message, the procedure for RRC
connection setup is finished. For more details, see 3GPP TS 25.331.
The number of RRC connection setup attempts and rejects does not include service-based
redirections, inter-RAT and inter-frequency distance-based redirections, and macro & micro
joint inter-frequency redirections.
During the resource admission and radio link setup process, if DRD is configured when resource
admission and radio link setup fail and the configured DRD succeeds, the measurement is
triggered in the target cell for the UE. If the configured DRD fails, the measurement is triggered
in the source cell for the UE.
Note that the measurement is not triggered for RRC CONNECTION REQUEST messages
retransmitted by the UE.

Overview
Soft handover is the procedure during which a radio link is added to or deleted from the active
set. When an UE moves or the radio link quality fluctuates, the RNC adds a radio link to the
active set if the RNC detects that the cell of the radio link is of good signal quality. If the quality
of a radio link in a cell in the active set becomes lower than the predefined threshold, the RNC
deletes this radio link from the active set.
A soft handover is considered as a softer handover if the two radio links of the UE connection
are established with cells belonging to the same NodeB. The RNC determines whether to perform
soft handover based on the intra-frequency measurement of the UE. When the RNC receives a
measurement report (MR) from the UE and determines that a soft handover is required, it sends
an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message to the UE, and starts a timer to wait for the response from
the UE. If the RNC receives an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message from the UE
before the timer expires, the soft handover is considered successful. If the RNC receives an
ACTIVE SET UPDATE FAILURE message from the UE or does not receive any message from
the UE before the timer expires, the soft handover is considered as a failure.

Change
Counters
Counter ID Counter Name Counter Description
Description
These counters provide the number of Qoffset updates by the PUC (Potential User Control)
algorithm when the load of the current cell becomes light, normal, or heavy. Qoffset, the
selection/reselection parameter in system information block (SIB) 11, defines the selection/
reselection offset between two cells. The network can instruct a UE to camp on either of the two
cells based on the value for Qoffset. For details about this parameter, see 3GPP TS 25.304. PUC
algorithm: When the load of the serving cell is light, the RNC sets the Qoffset between the
serving cell and the neighboring cells to a larger value by updating system information.
Therefore, the UE in idle mode is not apt to reselect another heavily-loaded cell. When the load
of the serving cell is heavy, the RNC sets the Qoffset between the serving cell and the neighboring
cells to a smaller value by updating system information. Therefore, the UE in idle mode is apt
to reselect another lightly-loaded cell, which reduces the potential load of the current cell.
Measurement point
The measurement is triggered at point A shown in the following figure. The RNC measures the
related counter when updating Qoffset in SIB 11 according to the change in the cell load level
in the common measurement report.

Description
These counters provide the number of Sintersearch updates by the PUC (Potential User Control)
algorithm when the load of the current cell becomes light, normal, or heavy. Sintersearch, the
selection/reselection parameter in system information block (SIB) 3, defines the quality
requirement of starting a measurement for inter-frequency cell reselection. If the UE finds that
the quality of the serving cell is worse than the value for Sintersearch, it starts the inter-frequency
measurement so that UE can reselect to another cell. PUC algorithm: When the load of the
serving cell is light, the RNC can set a smaller value for Sintersearch by updating system
information. Therefore, the UE in idle mode is not apt to start cell reselection. When the load of
the serving cell is heavy, the RNC can set a larger value for Sintersearch by updating system
information. Therefore, the UE in idle mode is apt to start cell reselection, which reduces the
potential load of the current cell.

These counters provide uplink or downlink credit usage on the RNC side in a cell. Note: Credit
resources on the RNC side are equivalent to CE resources on the NodeB side. The uplink credit
number is twice the number of uplink CEs, and the downlink credit number is equal to the number
of downlink CEs. The CE-related counters measured at the RNC have different values from
these measured at the NodeB. CE-related counters measured at the RNC are mainly used to
estimate the access capability and are measured based on the number of CEs consumed in the
access strategy. CE-related counters measured at the NodeB are mainly used to calculate the
CEs that are actually used. In addition, the sampling period of the CE-related counters measured
at the RNC is 5s, which is different from that of the CE-related counters measured at the NodeB

CE function is enabled.

Description
These counters provide the duration of maximum or minimum value of P-CPICH power due to
the downlink load-based dynamic adjustment of P-CPICH algorithm in a cell. Note: 1. The
downlink load-based dynamic adjustment of P-CPICH algorithm refers to the TCP-based intra-
frequency load balancing algorithm or load-based dynamic adjustment of P-CPICH algorithm.
2. The preceding two algorithms mutually exclude each other. When the two algorithms are
enabled at the same time, the load-based dynamic adjustment of P-CPICH algorithm takes
precedence. 3. If the two algorithms are disabled in the measurement period, the value of this
counter is zero.
Measurement point
When the downlink cell power load in a cell is heavy according to the load level specified by
the dynamic adjustment of P-CPICH algorithm, the RNC needs to reduce the power of P-CPICH.
However, if the power of P-CPICH reaches the minimum value, the P-CPICH power cannot be
reduced. The controlling RNC (CRNC) measures the accumulated duration of the maximum
value of P-CPICH power for a cell in the measurement period. When the downlink cell power
load in a cell is light according to the load level specified by the dynamic adjustment of P-CPICH
algorithm, the RNC needs to increase the power of P-CPICH. However, if the power of P-CPICH
reaches the maximum value, P-CPICH power cannot be increased. The CRNC measures the
accumulated duration of the minimum value of P-CPICH power for a cell in the measurement

Measurement point
The measurement is triggered at point A as shown in the following figure. The RNC sends
TRANSPORT FORMAT COMBINATION CONTROL messages to UEs to request an increase
or decrease in the UL rate of narrowband or wideband AMR services. If the RNC does not
receive TRANSPORT FORMAT COMBINATION CONTROL FAILURE messages from
UEs, the UL rate of AMR services successfully increases or decreases. In this case, the RNC
measures the counters in the best cell where the UE camps on.

These counters provide the congestion durations of the CCCH, DCCH, and DTCH carried on
the FACH, respectively. A CCCH, DCCH, and DTCH carried on the FACH are considered as
congested when the messages saved in the buffer of these channels cannot be sent out within
the specified time period. The congestion on the CCCH, DCCH, and DTCH is cleared when the
messages saved in the buffer of these channels can be sent out.
Measurement point
The measurement is triggered as long as one CCCH/DCCH/DTCH is congested when the cell
is configured with multiple FACHs and each FACH carries a CCCH/DCCH/DTCH.The counter
is not measured only when all the CCCHs/DCCHs/DTCHs in the cell are not congested.

This counter provides the average number of UEs using the algorithm OLPC Enhancement
Based on SIRerror Distribution in a cell that is their best cell.
Measurement point
The RNC takes samples of UEs using the algorithm OLPC Enhancement Based on SIRerror
Distribution in a cell that is their best cell. The samples are taken every five seconds. At the end
of a measurement period, the RNC accumulates the values obtained at each sampling point and
divides the accumulated value by the number of samples for the average value. A UE is
considered to be using this algorithm if the DEDICATED MEASUREMENT INITIATION
procedure related to this algorithm is successfully started in all cells in the active set for the UE.

Description
These counters provide the average and maximum uplink credit usage of the local cell group

different values from these measured at the NodeB. CE-related counters measured at the RNC
are mainly used to estimate the access capability and are measured based on the number of CEs
consumed in the access strategy. CE-related counters measured at the NodeB are mainly used
to calculate the CEs that are actually used. In addition, the sampling period of the CE-related
counters measured at the RNC is 5s, which is different from that of the CE-related counters
measured at the NodeB (2 ms). Therefore, the counter values are not comparable, extremely
when the NodeB dynamic CE function is enabled.
Measurement point
The system samples the uplink credit usage of the logical cell group (LCG) every 5s. At the end
of the measurement period, the maximum uplink credit usage of the LCG for the cell is obtained.
The average uplink credit usage of the LCG for the cell equals to accumulated value of the credit
usage at the sampling points divided by the number of sampling times.Counters related to CE
resource measurement by the RNC are different from those related to CE resource measurement
by the NodeB in that:? The counters related to CE resource measurement by the RNC estimate
the access capabilities based on the CE resources consumed by the admission policy, while the
counters related to CE resource measurement by the NodeB estimate the actual CE usage and
indicate the CE resources available for connected UEs. When the dynamic CE function is enabled
on the NodeB, the values of the counters related to CE resource measurement by the RNC are
quite different from the counters related to CE resource measurement by the NodeB.The RNC

Counter ID Counter Name Counter Description
Description
These counters provide the number of uplink block error rate (BLER) samplings for services on
the RACH or DCH in the best cell. The measured services include the adaptive multirate (AMR)
service, CS 64 kbit/s conversational service, PS conversational service, PS streaming service,
and PS BE service. The VS.ULBler.AMR.Sample counter applies only to the narrowband AMR
service. Counters VS.ULBler.AMR.Sample, VS.ULBler.CS64.Sample,
VS.ULBler.PS.Conv.Sample, and VS.ULBler.PS.Str.Sample measure the number of uplink
BLER samplings on the DCH.
Measurement point
The measurement is triggered in the best cell when the number of uplink TBs carrying services
on the RACH or DCH reaches the defined sampling window (500 TBs). The measured services
include the AMR service, CS 64 kbit/s conversational service, PS conversational service, PS
streaming service, and PS BE service.

Description
These counters provide the percentage of duration when the broadband or narrowband adaptive
multirate (AMR) voice quality is assessed as EXCELLENT, GOOD, ACCEPT, BAD, or POOR
to the total call duration. The mapping between the AMR voice quality level and the voice quality
indicator (VQI) are as follows:
Measurement point
In a measurement period, the duration when the AMR voice quality is assessed as EXCELLENT,
GOOD, ACCEPT, BAD, or POOR is sampled every 2.4s. At the end of the measurement period,

The measurement items provide the number of successful cell updates for different causes in a
cell. When the SRB reestablishment algorithm is enabled, the VS.SuccCellUpdt.ErrSRB counter
is measured at a point shown in the following figures. When the algorithm is disabled, the counter
is measured after the RNC receives a cell update message and performs the RRC connection
release procedure.
Measurement point
There are two types of cell update procedures: cell update requiring UE response and cell update
requiring no UE response.
In a cell update requiring no UE response, the RNC determines that the cell update is successful
after sending the CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message. In this procedure, the measurement is
triggered after the RNC sends a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message to the UE based on the
cause value, as shown by point B in the following figure. The corresponding counter is measured
in the cell that is selected by the UE for cell update.
In a cell update requiring UE response, the RNC determines that the cell update is successful
upon receiving the response message from the UE after sending a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM
message to the UE. In this procedure, the measurement is triggered after the RNC receives a
response message (such as the PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE
message) from the UE based on the cause value, as shown by point C in the following figure.
The corresponding counter is measured in the cell that is selected by the UE for cell update.
The UE may respond with one of the following messages after receiving a CELL UPDATE
CONFIRM message:
After the RNC receives a cell update message, if the RNC directly performs the RRC connection
release procedure rather than performs a cell update, the counter is measured at point B, as shown
in the following figure. For example, for cell updates due to SRB RLC unrecoverable errors,
when the SRB reestablishment algorithm is disabled, the counter is measured after the RNC
performs the RRC connection release procedure.

Description
These counters measure the number of cell update failures due to no response from UEs in the
CELL_FACH state (with the cause value of RLC unrecoverable error) in a cell.
Measurement point
The measurement is triggered at point A in the Figure. After receiving a CELL UPDATE
message carrying a cause value of "RLC unrecoverable error" from the UE in the RRC state of
CELL_FACH, the RNC sends a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message to the UE and starts a
timer to wait for a response message from the UE (in the figure, the PHYSICAL CHANNEL
RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message is simply an example). If the RNC does not
receive any response message from the UE before the timer expires, these counters are increased
by one in the cell where the UE sends the CELL UPDATE message according to the value carried
in the IE "AM_RLC error indication(RB2, RB3 or RB4)" and IE "AM_RLC error indication

Overview
UEs in the E-PCH state are those in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state and use the HS-DSCH
for downlink transmission.
The EPCH feature is introduced in 3GPP R7. It allows the PCCH to be mapped to the HS-DSCH
for UEs in the CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state and therefore enables transmission on the HS-
DSCH. It also allows the DCCH/DTCH to be mapped to the HS-DSCH for UEs in the
CELL_PCH state and therefore enables data transmission on the HS-DSCH. In this way,
downlink peak rate is increased and delay in signaling interaction is reduced.

Measurement point
As shown in the figure, when the RNC receives an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message
at point A, the time is recorded as T1. When the RNC receives an RRC CONNECTION SETUP
COMPLETE message at point C, the time is recorded as T2. The RNC uses delta T = T2-T1 as
the RRC connection setup duration on the ERACH if the RRC connection is set up on the
ERACH. The RNC takes a sample from durations taken by an RRC connection setup on the
ERACH every 5s. At the end of the measurement period, the RNC obtains the value of

Measurement point
The measurement is triggered at point C as shown in the following figure, taking the PHYSICAL
CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message as an example. The RNC performs intra-
frequency or inter-frequency hard handover if the criteria of the decision to perform hard
handover are fulfilled, and then sends the PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION
message to the UE. When the RNC receives the PHYSICAL CHANNEL
RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message from the UE, the hard handover succeeds. If the

These counters provide the number of successful outgoing inter-frequency hard handovers for
CS services or PS services in the best cell before the handover due to different causes.
Measurement point
Take the PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message as an example, the
measurement can be triggered at point B as shown in the figure. After determining inter-
frequency hard handovers, the RNC sends the PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION
message to the UE. When receiving from the UE a PHYSICAL CHANNEL
RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message, the RNC measures the counter measured in the
best cell that the UE camps on before the inter-frequency hard handover based on the handover
cause and the service type. Note: 1. If an inter-frequency hard handover is triggered due to high
BLER and the transmit power of the UE is also limited, the counter measuring the number of
successful inter-frequency hard handovers based on UL BLER and the counter measuring the
number of successful inter-frequency hard handovers based on transmit power are measured. 2.
Inter-frequency hard handovers include those that are involved in the LDR or CLB triggered by
the high power or large number of equivalent UEs. However, the RNC regards such handovers
as being triggered by high power.

Overview
High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is a DL high speed data solution of WCDMA.
The HSDPA system has the following features: Adopting 2 ms short frame, Adopting link
adaptive technologies such as HARQ and AMC on physical layer, Introducing high-order
modulation to increase spectrum utilization, Scheduling between UEs by code division and time
division. The above technologies can implement the following: Increasing DL peak data rate
and shortening service delay, Increasing DL throughput of such services as receiving Email and
browsing on WEB and Increasing DL capacity by effectively using DL code resource and power
resource. The function subset HSDPA Measurement(Cell) is used to measure the related HSDPA
service on the basis of Cell. This function subset contains counters related to the number of
successful or RRC connection setups, normal or abnormal RRC connection release, handovers,
and state transitions for HSDPA users of different capability levels, service delay, and
throughput.

Measurement point
When data is sent in an HSDPA serving cell, the RNC measures the total data transmission time
of the MAC-d flows in the serving cell and the total bytes sent in the HSDPA serving cell. When
data of BE services for golden/silver/copper subscribers or data of PS conversational services
carried on the HS-DSCH is sent in the serving cell, the RNC measures the total data transmission
time of MAC-d flows for these services and the total bits sent in the HSDPA serving cell. At the
end of the measurement period, the RNC divides the total data transmission time by the total
number of bits to obtain the mean downlink throughput of MAC-d flows at the RLC layer in the
cell. The total bits do not include the RLC header and the retransmitted data in the unit of bit.
The total number of bits is calculated by converting the total number of bytes. The total data
transmission time is measured in the unit of ms.

Measurement point
The measurement is triggered at point A as shown in the following figure. According to the
intelligent user recognition algorithm, after the RNC receives a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI)
measurement report from the NodeB, the RNC selects a proper target cell and then initiates an
inter-frequency handover. Before the handover, the RNC takes statistics of the number of times
that the RNC attempts to switch HSDPA users in connected mode out of the serving cell through
the DRD procedure. The RNC takes statistics of the number of times that the RNC attempts to
switch HSDPA users in connected mode into the target cell through the DRD procedure.

Counters
Counter ID Counter Name Counter Description
The following intermediate counters are used for calculating preceding counters based on
specific formulas.
Description
This counter provides the mean downlink throughput on HSDPA Single MAC-d flow in a cell.
It excludes the data sent by low-traffic users.For DC-HSDPA users, this counter is measured
only in the primary cell based on the total throughput on the primary and secondary carriers.
Measurement point
The amount of data that is sent in downlink on HSDPA MAC-d flow at the RLC layer (excluding
the retransmitted RLC data and RLC headers) is measured every second in the serving cell.
The amount of data that is measured in one second is considered as valid only when the amount
of data received on the Iu interface within that second is greater than or equal to 80 KB and the
amount of data in the RLC buffer within that second is greater than or equal to 80 KB.
At the end of the measurement period, the mean throughput on HSDPA MAC-d flow is
calculated by dividing the total amount of data that is considered as valid by the total period of
valid time. Note that the total amount of data excludes the data sent by low-traffic users.

1.12.12.28 Number of Normal RAB Releases of HSDPA UEs for Cell (All Scenarios)
Counters
Counter ID Counter Name Counter Description
Description
These counters provide the number of normal RAB releases in a cell where HSDPA is applied.
For multi-carrier HSDPA UEs, these counters are measured only in the primary carrier cell.
Note: The normal RAB releases on HSDPA channels include the RAB releases over the Iu
interface and the switchover of the RAB from a technique to another one.
The following uses DC-HSDPA as an example to describe a normal RAB release.
(1)The DC-HSDPA RAB has been released over the Iu interface.
(2)The RAB successfully falls back from DC-HSDPA to SC-HSDPA or R99 through a channel
switchover procedure. In R99, the UE can be in the CELL_DCH, CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH,
or URA_PCH state.
(3)The RAB successfully falls back from DC-HSDPA to SC-HSDPA or to R99 in CELL_DCH
state through an inter-cell hard handover procedure.
Note: Unless otherwise specified, SRB over HSDPA users are in the CELL_DCH state, and
their SRBs are carried on the HSDPA channel.
Measurement point
As shown by point A in figure 1 (HSDPA UEs enter the idle state), after receiving an IU
RELEASE COMMAND message from the CN, the RNC releases the corresponding RAB and
then sends an IU RELEASE COMPLETE message to the CN. This counter is increased by one
in the serving cell where the UE camps when either of the following condition is met: The cause
value in the IU RELEASE COMMAND message is "User Inactivity", "Normal Release",
"Successful Relocation", or "Network Optimization." Alternatively, the RNC has initiated a
release request with the cause value "User Inactivity", "Network Optimization", or "UE
Generated Signalling Connection Release" before receiving the IU RELEASE COMMAND
message.
As shown by point B in figure 2 (HSDPA UEs enter the idle state), after receiving an RAB
ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message with an RAB release request from the CN, the RNC
releases the corresponding RAB and then sends an RAB ASSIGNMENT RESPONSE message
to the CN. This counter is increased by one in the serving cell where the UE camps when either
of the following condition is met: The cause value in the RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST
message is "User Inactivity", "Normal Release", "Successful Relocation", or "Network
Optimization." Alternatively, the RNC has initiated a release request with the cause value "User
Inactivity", "Network Optimization", or "UE Generated Signalling Connection Release" before
receiving the RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message.
As shown by point B in figure 3 (all types of hard handovers for HSDPA UEs), the RNC receives
a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message from a UE. If the UE is
performing a hard handover on the RAB from a HSDPA channel to channels of other types, this
counter is increased by one in the serving cell of the UE. As shown by point B in figure 3 (all
types of channel switchovers for HSDPA UEs), the RNC receives a RADIO BEARER
RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message from a UE. If the UE is performing a switchover
on the RAB from a HSDPA channel to channels of other types, this counter is increased by one
in the serving cell of the UE.
As shown by point B in figure 4 (all types of hard handovers for HSDPA UEs), the RNC receives
a RADIO BEARER SETUP COMPLETE message from a UE. If the UE is performing a
switchover of SRB from a HSDPA channel to channels of other types, this counter is increased

Measurement point
The measurement can be triggered at point A as shown in the figure. The NodeB informs the
RNC of its retransmission state through the E-DCH UL DATA FRAME. After receiving the
frame, the RNC L2 checks whether the retransmission state changes. If yes, the RNC L2 sends
the inner message CMACD_EDCH_PDU_RETRANS_TAR_NUM_MODIFY to the RNC L3.
The RNC L3 then measures the corresponding counter based on the TTI of the user.

1.12.13.63 Number of Normal RAB Releases of HSUPA UEs for Cell (All Scenarios)
Counters
Counter ID Counter Name Counter Description
Description
These counters provide the number of normal RAB releases in a serving cell when HSUPA is
applied. For DC-HSUPA users, this counter is measured only in the cell with the primary carrier.
Note: The normal RAB releases on HSUPA channels include the RAB releases over the Iu
interface and the switchover of the RAB from a technique to another one. The following uses
DC-HSUPA as an example to describe a normal RAB release. (1) The DC-HSUPA RAB has
been released over the Iu interface. (2) The RAB successfully falls back from DC-HSUPA to
SC-HSUPA or R99 through a channel switchover procedure. In R99, the UE can be in the
CELL_DCH, CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, or URA_PCH state. (3) The RAB successfully falls
back from DC-HSUPA to SC-HSUPA or to R99 in CELL_DCH state through an inter-cell hard
handover procedure. The two cells can operate in either the same or different frequencies.
Measurement point
As shown by point A in figure 1 (HSUPA UEs enter the idle state), after receiving an IU
RELEASE COMMAND message from the CN, the RNC releases the corresponding RAB and
then sends an IU RELEASE COMPLETE message to the CN. This counter is increased by one
in the serving cell where the UE camps when either of the following condition is met: The cause
value in the IU RELEASE COMMAND message is "User Inactivity", "Normal Release",
"Successful Relocation", or "Network Optimization." Alternatively, the RNC has initiated a
release request with the cause value "User Inactivity", "Network Optimization", or "UE
Generated Signalling Connection Release" before receiving the IU RELEASE COMMAND
message.
As shown by point B in figure 2 (HSUPA UEs enter the idle state), after receiving an RAB
ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message with an RAB release request from the CN, the RNC
releases the corresponding RAB and then sends an RAB ASSIGNMENT RESPONSE message
to the CN. This counter is increased by one in the serving cell where the UE camps when either
of the following condition is met: The cause value in the RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST
message is "User Inactivity", "Normal Release", "Successful Relocation", or "Network
Optimization." Alternatively, the RNC has initiated a release request with the cause value "User
Inactivity", "Network Optimization", or "UE Generated Signalling Connection Release" before
receiving the RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message.
As shown by point B in figure 3 (all types of hard handovers for HSUPA UEs), the RNC receives
a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message from a UE. If the UE is
performing a hard handover on the RAB from HSUPA channel to channels of other types, this
counter is increased by one in the serving cell of the UE. As shown by point B in figure 3 (all
types of channel switchovers for HSUPA UEs), the RNC receives a RADIO BEARER
RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message from a UE. If the UE is performing a switchover

Overview
Inter-RAT handover is classified into CS inter-RAT handover and PS inter-RAT handover. PS
inter-RAT handover is further classified into normal PS inter-RAT handover and enhanced PS
inter-RAT handover, where the procedure of the enhanced PS inter-RAT handover is the same
as that of the CS inter-RAT handover. For the detailed inter-RAT handover procedure, see the
function subset IRATHO.Cs.RNC or IRATHO.PS.RNC. The counters related to the number of
failed handovers during different phases of outgoing handovers and incoming handovers are
measured based on different handover causes.
The causes for outgoing inter-RAT handover can be load, RF (coverage, QoS, or HCS), inter-
RAT DRD, or service type. The cause inter-RAT DRD only exists in the inter-RAT CS handover.
The following figure shows the measurement points in the inter-RAT CS handover measuremnt.

This counter is measured according to the target cell ID in the RELOCATION REQUEST
message. L2U refers to handovers from the LTE network to the UMTS network. With the
SRVCC with PS Handover feature, the VoIP and PS services in an LTE network are handed
over to the CS and PS domains of the UMTS network, respectively. As a result, speech continuity
is ensured during the handover. On the RNC side, this process is an incoming inter-RAT CS+PS

Overview
This function subset mainly measures the number of paging losses due to congestion and the
number of paging times in a cell.
If the paged UE is in idle mode, the CELL_PCH state, or URA_PCH state, the RNC sends a
PAGING TYPE 1 message on the Paging Control Channel (PCCH) to the cells in the paging
area. If the UE is in the CELL_PCH state and both the network and the UE support EPCH, the
RNC sends a PAGING TYPE 2 message to the cells in the paging area.

Overview
This function subset includes the counters for push to talk (PTT) service establishment, complete
calls, handover, and traffic. The PTT service uses half-duplex mode to provide private calls
(point-to-point) and group calls (point-to-multipoint). A PTT connection is set up instantly
without ringing after a subscriber simply presses a key.

Description
These counters provide the maximum, average, and minimum durations when services are
established in the best cell based on the CN domain and service type. The durations cover the
time starting from the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message to the first RAB
ASSIGNMENT RESPONSE message.These counters are not measured when a second or more
RAB are established. For DC-HSUPA users, the corresponding counter is measured only in the
primary cell. The counters VS.AMR.Estab.MeanTime, VS.AMR.Estab.MaxTime and
VS.AMR.Estab.MinTime are measured for narrowband and wideband AMR services.
Measurement point
The measurement is triggered at point A in the Figure. When the RNC receives a RRC
CONNECTION REQUEST message, the RNC records the time T1. When the RNC receives a
RADIO BEARER SETUP COMPLETE message from the UE and sends a RAB ASSIGNMENT
RESPONSE message to the CN, the RNC records the time T2 at point B. Suppose deltaT=T2-
T1. Then, deltaT is the delay of this service establishment. The best cell where the UE is located
measures the items according to the CN domains and service types.These counters are not
measured when a second or more RAB are established.

Overview
The CN in CS domain initiates the radio access bearer setup procedure by sending a RAB
ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message to the RNC.
After receiving the RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message, the RNC selects an appropriate
cell, allocates resources, and performs admission control based on the information in the message
(such as service type, QoS, and priority), the traffic load of the system, and the networking
strategy (such as DRD). The requirements of high-priority users are met preferentially(That is,
when the resources are insufficient and the UEs with low-priority cannot set up the RAB, the
RNC sends to the CN a RAB ASSGNMENT RESPONSE message if the queuing algorithm is
enabled, indicating that the RAB is in the queue to wait for resources).If the admission of the
RAB succeeds, the RNC starts the Iu transport connection setup procedure, the Iub radio bearer
setup procedure, and the Uu radio bearer setup procedure. At last, the RNC sends to the CN a
RAB ASSNMENT RESPONSE, indicating whether the RAB setup is successful.
If DRD is enabled during the RAB setup, the RAB setup measurement is performed on the cell
of RAB setup success.Otherwise,if DRD is enabled after the RAB setup, the RAB setup
measurement is performed on the target cell of DRD first attempt.

Overview
The CN in CS domain initiates the radio access bearer setup procedure by sending a RAB
ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message to the RNC.
After receiving the RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message, the RNC selects an appropriate
cell, allocates resources, and performs admission control based on the information in the message
(such as service type, QoS, and priority), the traffic load of the system, and the networking
strategy (such as DRD). The requirements of high-priority users are met preferentially(That is,
when the resources are insufficient and the UEs with low-priority cannot set up the RAB, the
RNC sends to the CN a RAB ASSGNMENT RESPONSE message if the queuing algorithm is
enabled, indicating that the RAB is in the queue to wait for resources).If the admission of the
RAB succeeds, the RNC starts the Iu transport connection setup procedure, the Iub radio bearer
setup procedure, and the Uu radio bearer setup procedure. At last, the RNC sends to the CN a
RAB ASSNMENT RESPONSE, indicating whether the RAB setup is successful.
If DRD is enabled during the RAB setup, the RAB setup measurement is performed on the cell
of RAB setup success.Otherwise,if DRD is enabled after the RAB setup, the RAB setup
measurement is performed on the target cell of DRD first attempt.

These counters provide the number of failed CS RAB establishments due to congestion in the
best cell according to the congestion cause. If congestion occurs both in the uplink and downlink,
the counter is measured only in the downlink. For example, when CS RABs fail to be set up due
to congestion in both the uplink and downlink power resources, the RNC measures only the
VS.RAB.FailEstabCS.DLPower.Cong counter. For example, if CS RABs fail to be set up due
to congestion in Iub uplink and downlink bandwidth (admission bandwidth), the RNC measures
only the VS.RAB.FailEstabCS.DLIUBBand.Cong counter.
Measurement point
The measurement is triggered at point B as shown in the figure. After receiving from the CN an
RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message that contains the RAB to be set up, the RNC applies
for corresponding radio resources. If the application fails, the RAB setup fails and the RNC
sends the CN a RAB ASSIGNMENT RESPONSE message indicating that the operation fails
and the failure cause is any of the following: "Requested Maximum Bit Rate not
Available","Requested Maximum Bit Rate for DL not Available","Requested Maximum Bit

Overview
If the parameters, such as QoS, of a PS service are changed after the RAB is set up, the CN sends
to the RNC a RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message. After receiving this message, the RNC
initiates the RAB modification procedure. If the RAB modification succeeds, the RNC sends to
the CN a RAB ASSIGNMENT RESPONSE message indicating that the RAB modification
succeeds. If the RAB modification fails, the RNC sends to the CN a RAB ASSIGNMENT
RESPONSE message indicating that the RAB modification fails.

Description
The measurement items provide the mean number and the maximum number of occupied codes
in a cell. The occupied codes are the codes occupied by the common channel, R99 user, and HS-
DSCH. The code number is normalized to SF = 256, that is, converted to the code number when
SF = 256. The way of the normalization to SF = 256 is to multiply the number when SF = k by
256/k.When the NodeB dynamic code switch is turned on, the RNC cannot count the extra SF
codes beyond the range of reserved codes that are used by the NodeB. Otherwise, the preceding
counters are not reported as expected.
Measurement point
The RNC takes a sample from the number of occupied codes in a cell every five seconds and
normalize the number to SF = 256. Then calculate the sum of the normalized numbers. At the
end of the measurement period, the RNC divides the accumulated number by the number of
samples to obtain the mean number of occupied codes in the cell within the measurement period.
The maximum number of occupied codes that is reported to the RNC is defined as the maximum
number of occupied codes in the cell within the measurement period..

Counters
Counter ID Counter Name Counter Description
The following intermediate counters are used for calculating preceding counters based on
specific formulas.
Description
This counter provides the mean throughput of a single HSPA MAC-d flow in the case of Multi-
RAB services in the HSPA cell. For DC-HSPA users, this counter is measured only in the primary
cell based on the total throughput on the primary and secondary carriers.
Measurement point
When users initiate Multi-RAB services in an HSPA cell and there is data transmission in the
HSPA cell, the total period of time used for transmitting data and the total number of bits
transmitted in the HSPA cell are calculated. At the end of the measurement period, the mean
throughput of a single MAC-d flow at the RLC layer in a cell is calculated by dividing the total
number of bits by the total period of time. Note that the total number of measured bits excludes
RLC headers and retransmitted data.

Description
The measurement items provide the number of released PS BE RABs beared on HSPA triggered
by the RNC in the best cell due to CELL congestion or preemption.For DC-HSUPA or DC-
HSDPA users, this counter is measured only in the cell with the primary carrier.
Measurement point
The measurement is triggered at point A as shown in the figure, when the RNC sends a RAB
RELEASE REQUEST message to the CN due to CELL congestion after the RABs have been
set up. In this case, the RNC measures the items in the best cell that the UE camps on.

Overview
This function subset measures the number of released CS RABs. If a CS RAB is not needed or
an abnormal release occurs after a successful RAB setup, the CN sends a RAB ASSIGNMENT
REQUEST message to the RNC, instructing the RNC to release the RAB. After receiving this
message, the RNC releases the corresponding RAB and then sends a RADIO BEARER
RELEASE message to the UE. If the RB release succeeds, the UE sends a RADIO BEARER
RELEASE COMPLETE message to the RNC. The RNC sends a RAB ASSIGNMENT
RESPONSE message to the CN regardless of whether it receives a RADIO BEARER RELEASE
COMPLETE message from the UE.
