Overview
A-Interface paging measurement is used to measure the number of paging requests from the core
network.
The BSC may receive CS paging requests or PS paging requests from the core network. The
standard interfaces between the BSC and the network side include the A interface and the Gb
interface. CS paging requests from the MSC are sent to the BSC over the A interface, while PS
paging requests from the SGSN are first sent to the PCU over the Gb interface and then to the
BSC (or directly to the BSC when the PCU is built in the BSC). When the Gs interface between
the MSC and the SGSN is enabled, CS paging requests can be sent through the SGSN and the
PCU to the BSC. Figure 1 shows the networking diagram for the BSC, MSC, and SGSN.

BSC
Measurement Counters
ID Counter Description
Description
This counter provides the number of unsuccessful internal inter-cell handovers due to timer
expiry in all the cells controlled by a BSC. The types of channel include SDCCH, TCHF, and
TCHH.
The BSC sends an HO CMD message to the MS and starts a timer to wait for an HO CMP
message. The measurement is triggered when the timer expires. The measurement is based on
the channel type.
The intra-cell handover is of the following types: intra-cell handover in normal conditions, intra-
cell handover caused by dynamic channel conversion, intra-cell handover in concentric cells,
and AMR handover.
The concentric cell handover is of the following types: Underlaid subcell to overlaid subcell
(Underlay to Overlay) and Overlaid subcell to underlaid subcell (Overlay to Underlay).
Along with the counters Internal Intra-Cell Handover Requests per BSC (SDCCH) and Internal
Intra-Cell Handover Commands per BSC (SDCCH), the performances of internal inter-cell

This measurement provides the number of failed incoming external inter-cell handovers due to
invalid messages in all the cells controlled by a BSC. In the incoming external inter-cell handover
procedure, the target BSC receives an HO REQ message from the MSC and decodes the HO
REQ message. If finding that the message is invalid during message decoding, the BSC collects
the number of failed incoming external inter-cell handovers according to the channel type, cross-
band handover type, and failure cause value.
The channel involved in the measurement can be SDCCH or TCH. The TCH can be a traffic
channel or a signaling channel.
Along with the counters Incoming External Inter-Cell Handover Requests per BSC and Incoming
External Inter-Cell Handover Commands per BSC, the incoming external inter-cell handover
per BSC can be well understood. Along with the counters related to outgoing external inter-cell
handover, the outgoing external inter-cell handover per BSC can be well understood.

The target BSC receives an HO REQ message from the MSC and decodes the HO REQ message.
The target BSC then applies for a channel from the target cell. After the channel is successfully
applied, the BSC sends a CHAN ACTIV message to the target cell to activate the channel
successfully applied. After receiving a CHAN ACTIV ACK message from the target cell, the
BSC continues to apply for the terrestrial resource and the terrestrial link resource related to
voice services.
The CIC resource of A interface is one of important factors that affect the application of the
terrestrial resource. The CIC of A interface is sent to the target BSC by the MSC through an HO

The BSC uses the handover algorithm to decide whether a handover is required based on the
measurement reports submitted by the MS. If a handover is required, and if the source cell
(current cell) and the target cell are two different cells controlled by one BSC, the BSC initiates
an internal inter-cell handover. If the handover cause value is uplink quality, the BSC measures
the number of outgoing internal inter-cell handover requests due to uplink signal quality in the

This measurement provides the number of outgoing inter-cell handover requests of all the cells

know how often handovers from underlaid subcell to overlaid subcell are initiated. If the number
of internal intra-call handover commands per BSC and the number of successful internal intra-

The BSC selects preferentially the idle neighbor cells as the object cells. For a neighbor cell that
is in different a GSM Main Processing Subrack (GMPS) from but the same BSC with the source
cell, if its channel status is unknown, this neighbor cell is considered as idle. If all the neighbor
cells of the serving cell are congested, a default neighbor cell (the first cell in the candidate cell

ID Counter Description
Description
This measurement provides the number of outgoing inter-cell handover requests of all the cells
controlled by a BSC from overlaid subcell to underlaid subcell.This measurement helps you
know how often handovers from overlaid subcell to underlaid subcell are initiated. If the number
of internal intra-call handover commands per BSC and the number of successful internal intra-
call handovers per BSC are also provided, you can get to know the handover performance. The
BSC selects preferentially the idle neighbor cells as the object cells. For a neighbor cell that is
in different a GSM Main Processing Subrack (GMPS) from but the same BSC with the source
cell, if its channel status is unknown, this neighbor cell is considered as idle. If all the neighbor
cells of the serving cell are congested, a default neighbor cell (the first cell in the candidate cell
list) is selected even if it is congested. This counter is measured when the selected neighbor cell
is the source cell. It is not measured when the object overlaid or underlaid subcell is congested.

Overview
When an MS requires network services for reasons such as MOC, MTC, emergency call, call
re-establishment, location updating, packet call, and LMU+Reserved, the MS sends the BTS a
CHAN REQ message on the RACH. After receiving this message, the BTS reports a CHAN
RQD message to the BSC to request a signaling channel.
After receiving the CHAN RQD message, the BSC assigns and activates a signaling channel to
the MS. If the BSC receives a CHAN ACTIV ACK message from the BTS, the signaling channel
is ready for assignment. The BSC sends an IMM ASS CMD message, requesting the MS to
access the specified signaling channel. This signaling channel is an SDCCH or a TCH.
After receiving an SABM frame from the MS, the BTS sends an EST IND message to the BSC.
After receiving the EST IND message that carries an MM message (CM SERV REQ, LOC UPD
REQ, IMSI DTCH, PAG RSP, CM RE-EST REQ, SS ACTIVATION, and LCS), the BSC
requests the MSC to establish a connection on the A interface and transparently transmits the
MM message to the MSC.

Description
This counter provides the number of incoming external inter-cell handover requests of all cells
controlled by a BSC. The channel involved in the measurement can be the SDCCH, TCH.
The BSC where the source cell is located uses the handover algorithm to determine whether a
handover from the source cell to the target cell is required. If the source cell and target cell are
different cells controlled by different BSCs, an external inter-cell handover is initiated. The
measurement is based on the channel type, frequency bands of the cells involved in the handover.

In the immediate assignment procedure, the BSS assigns a signaling channel to an MS. After
the MS sets up an RR connection with the BSS, the MS sets up an MM connection and a CC
connection to the MSC on this signaling channel. The MSC assigns an A interface circuit to the
MS in the ASS REQ message based on the CC connection request from the MS and specifies
the service type of this call and the type of the channel that can be assigned to the call. Upon
receipt of the ASS REQ message from the MSC, the BSC assigns a proper channel for the access
of the MS based on the service type and the channel type specified in the ASS REQ message.
The service type can be one of the following three:
l Signaling service
l Speech service
l Data service
When the channel assigned by the MSC is used for speech services, the assigned channel is of
the following types:
l Full rate TCH channel
l Half rate TCH channel
l Full or Half rate TCH channel, full rate preferred, changes between full rate and half rate
allowed
l Full or half rate TCH channel, half rate preferred, changes between full rate and half rate
allowed
l Full or half rate TCH channel, full rate preferred, changes between full rate and half rate
not allowed
l Full or half rate TCH channel, half rate preferred, changes between full rate and half rate
not allowed
l Full or half rate TCH channel, changes between full and half rate allowed
l Full or half rate TCH channel, changes between full and half rate not allowed
Huawei BSC supports all of the eight channel types.
When the channel assigned by the MSC is used for data services, the assigned channel is one of
the following types:
l Full rate TCH channel
l Half rate TCH channel
l Full or Half rate TCH channel, Full rate preferred, changes between full rate and half rate
allowed
l Full or half rate TCH channel, half rate preferred, changes between full rate and half rate

l Full or half rate TCH channel, half rate preferred, changes between full rate and half rate
not allowed
l Full rate TCH channels in a multislot configuration, changes of the radio interface rate per
channel allowed
l Full rate TCH channels in a multislot configuration, changes of the radio interface rate per
channel not allowed
Huawei BSC supports the first six channel types.
These counters provide the number of times that the BSC receives the ASS REQ message based
on the service type and channel type specified in the ASS REQ message.
l The counters "A3100A: CELL.ASS.REQ.SIG.TCH" and "A3100K:
CELL.ASS.REQ.TIMES.SIG.CHAN.SDCCH" provide the number of times that the BSC

Upon receipt of an ASS REQ message, the BSC assigns a channel based on the channel type
specified in the ASS REQ message and then sends a CHAN ACT message to the BTS. If the
BSC receives a CHAN ACT ACK message from the BTS, the BSC considers that the channel
is successfully activated. At the same time, the BSC connects the internal circuit based on the
A interface CIC specified in the ASS REQ message. Then the BSC sends an ASS CMD message
to the MS and waits for the MS to access the specified channel. The ASS CMD message carries
the information on the ready channel, such as channel type, channel number, and frequency
hopping information. The MS attempts to access the specified channel based on the channel
number specified in the ASS CMD message. After successfully accessing the channel, the MS
reports an ASS CMP message. Upon receipt of the ASS CMP message, the BSC sends an ASS
CMP message to the MSC.
If the current cell does not have available channels and its directed retry switch is on, the BSC
selects a proper adjacent cell based on the measurement report from the MS to trigger an outgoing
internal inter-cell handover with the destination channel type being the traffic channel. If the
handover is successful, the BSC sends an ASS CMP message to the MSC.
Suppose the MS already seizes a TCH for the signaling service in the immediate assignment
procedure. When receiving an ASS REQ message, the BSC determines whether the channel
mode specified in the ASS REQ message can be obtained from the channel that the MS currently
seizes. If the channel mode specified in the ASS REQ message can be obtained from the channel
that the MS currently seizes, the BSC enters the Mode Modify procedure and sends a MODE
MODIFY message to the BTS to instruct the BTS to change the channel mode. If the BSC
receives a MODE MODIFY ACK message indicating that the BTS channel mode is successfully
changed, the BSC sends a CHAN MODE MODIFY message to the MS. After successfully
changing the channel mode, the MS reports a CHAN MODE MODIFY ACK message to the
BSC. Upon receipt of the CHAN MODE MODIFY ACK message, the BSC sends an ASS CMP
message to the MSC.
When receiving the ASS CMD or HO CMD message, the MS attempts to access a new channel.
If the MS fails to access the new channel, the MS attempts to reconnect to the old channel. If
the BSC receives the ASS FAIL or RR STATUS message from the MS, the BSC considers that
the MS has successfully reconnected to the old channel and then decides whether to retry the
Um interface assignment procedure based on the data configuration. The maximum retry times
are decided by the data configuration. The procedure that takes place at each retry is the same
as the procedure described above. When the maximum retry times are reached, the MS
reconnects to the old channel and the BSC sends an ASS FAIL message to the MSC.

assignments due to unavailable speech version after the BSC sends a CHAN MODE MODIFY
message to the MS. It provides the number of ASS FAIL messages sent by the BSC to the MSC
when the Mode Modify fails because the intersection between the speech version set carried in
the ASS REQ message from the MSC and the speech version set supported by the current cell
of the MS does not have available speech versions when the BSC uses the Mode Modify
procedure to complete the assignment procedure.
Measurement point
As shown in Figure 1, each time the BSC sends an ASS FAIL message to the MSC because of
unavailable speech version after receiving an ASS REQ message from the MSC and entering
the Mode Modify procedure (see measurement point F), this counter is incremented by one.

Description
This counter provides the number of failed assignments concerning the Um interface.
l In normal assignment procedure, after sending the ASS CMD message to the MS, the BSC
starts the assignment success timer.This measurement involves the assignment failures
received during the time for assignment success response and the failures concerning the
reception of the RR STATUS message without further reassignment.
l In normal assignment procedure, the failures are those received before the expiry of the
timer for assignment success response.
l In direct retry procedure, after sending the HO CMD message to the MS, the BSC starts
the handover success timer. This measurement involves the handover failures received
during the time for handover success response and the failures concerning the reception of
the RR STATUS message without further reassignment.
l In direct retry procedure, the failures are those received before the expiry of the timer for
handover success response.
Measurement point
After sending an assignment request message to the BSC, the MSC waits for the MS to send an
ASS CMP message to the BSC. This counter is measured in the following situations:
l The MS sends to the BSC a DATA INDICATION message, which contains the Um
assignment failure cause. If the BSC does not perform reassignment after receiving the
message, the counter is incremented by one. See measurement point A in Figure 1.
l The MS sends an RR STATUS message to the BSC. If the cause value carried in the
message is not Semantically incorrect message, Invalid mandatory information, Message
type non-existent or not implemented, or Conditional IE error, and reassignment is not
performed, this counter is incremented by one. See measurement point B in Figure 1.
l After sending an assignment command message to the MS, the BSC starts T3107, which
is specified for assignment complete response. If the timer expires, the counter is
incremented by one. See measurement point C in Figure 1.
l After receiving the assignment request message from the MSC, the BSC does not initiate
direct retry because no channel is available for use. The MS is handed over to a new cell,
in which the MS sends to the BSC a DATA INDICATION message containing the
assignment failure cause over the Um interface. If the BSC does not perform reassignment
after receiving the message, the counter is incremented by one. See measurement point A
in Figure 2.
l After receiving the assignment request message from the MSC, the BSC does not initiate
direct retry because no channel is available for use. The MS is handed over to a new cell,
in which the MS sends to the BSC an RR STATUS message. If the cause value carried in
the message is not Semantically incorrect message, Invalid mandatory information,

is not performed, the counter is incremented by one. See measurement point B in Figure 2.
l After receiving the assignment request message from the MSC, the BSC does not initiate
direct retry because no channel is available for use. Instead, the BSC sends a HANDOVER

Description
After receiving a Local Channel Request message from the BTS, the BSC assigns a TCH and
sends a CHAN ACTIV message to the BTS. Meanwhile, the BSC takes statistics of the counters
related to the number of channel activations. If the BTS responds with a CHAN ACTIV NACK
message, the BSC takes statistics of the counters related to the number of channel activation
negative acknowledgements. After sending a CHANNEL ACTIVATION message, the BSC
starts a timer to wait for a response from the BTS. If the BSC does not receive any response after
the timer expires, the BSC takes statistics of the counters related to the number of channel
activation timeouts.
Along with Number of Local Channel Activations and Number of Local Channel Activations
Nack, this counter is used to locate the cause for low call setup success rate.
Measurement point
After receiving a Local Channel Request message from the BTS, the BSC assigns a TCH and
sends a CHAN ACTIV message to the BTS. Meanwhile, the BSC takes statistics of the following
counters in the cell where the TCH is assigned:
l R3301A:CELL.LUM.CH.ACT.TCHF
l R3301B:CELL.LUM.CH.ACT.TCHH
If the BTS responds with a CHAN ACTIV NACK message, it indicates that the channel
activation fails. In this case, the BSC takes statistics of the following counters in the cell where
the TCH is assigned:
l R3301C:CELL.LUM.CH.ACT.NACK.TCHF
l R3301D:CELL.LUM.CH.ACT.NACK.TCHH
After assigning a TCH and sending a CHAN ACTIV message to the BTS, the BSC immediately
starts a timer with the default timer value of five seconds to wait for a CHAN ACTIV ACK
message. If the BSC does not receive a CHAN ACTIV message from the BTS before the timer
expires, the BSC takes statistics of the following counters in the cell where the TCH is assigned:
l R3301E:CELL.LUM.CH.ACT.EXP.TCHF
l R3301F:CELL.LUM.CH.ACT.EXP.TCHH

The measurement of this type of counters provides the number of call drops after the call is set
up successfully. In the assignment procedure, a call is set up when the BSC receives the
CONNECT and the CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE messages from the CC layer. In the
incoming-BSC handover procedure, a call is set up when the target cell sends a HANDOVER
COMPLETE message to the MSC. In the internal BSC handover procedure, a call is set up when
a HANDOVER PERFORMED message is sent to the MSC after the MS is handed over to the
target cell. The BSC measures this counter when call drop occur after the assignment procedure
or the handover procedure.

l The BSC does not receive any measurement report within a certain period (by default, five
minutes) and sends a CLEAR REQUEST message to the MSC to release the call.
l The BSC detects a broken RSL and releases all the calls on the RSL.
l 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.
l 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.
l A call drop occurs due to call assignment failure during the handover.
l 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.
l A call drop occurs due to software error.
l 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.
l 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.

Description
After the MS seizes the traffic channel, the BSC sends the HO CMD to the MS. During the
handover process, this measurement provides the number of times that the timer for the target
cell waiting for the handover completion expires if the MS fails to access the new channel at the
radio interface, or the number of times when the timer for the originating cell waiting for the
handover completion expires if the MS fails to return to the original channel.
Measurement point
When a TCH is seized to carry traffic during a call, this counter is measured in the following
situations:
l The timer set to wait for an HO CMP message expires during internal intra-cell handover.
l The timer set to wait for an HO CMP message expires during outgoing internal inter-cell
handover.
l The timer set to wait for an HO CMP message expires during outgoing external inter-cell
handover.
This counter is calculated at A6, as shown in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3.

1.5.9.22 Call Drops Due to No MR from MS for a Long Time (Signaling Channe)
Measurement Counters
ID Counter Description
Description
After seizing the SDCCH, the MS reports a measurement report to the BSC every 470 ms. After
seizing the TCH, the MS reports a measurement report to the BSC every 480 ms. If the BSC
does not receive a measurement report within a certain period (five minutes by default), the BSC
determines that a call drop occurs on the Um interface.
This measurement provides the number of call releases by the BSC because the BSC does not
receive any measurement report on the signaling channel within a certain period.
Measurement point
When an SDCCH or a TCH is seized to carry signaling during a call, if the BSC does not receive
a measurement report within a certain period (by default, five minutes), then the BSC sends a
CLEAR REQUEST message to the MSC to release the call. This counter is measured when the
BSC sends a CLEAR REQUEST message to the MSC. This counter is calculated at A4, as shown
in Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5.

ID Counter Description
Description
After the MS seizes a channel, if the status of the BSC internal resources is abnormal, the BSC
releases the call that seizes the abnormal resources.
This measurement provides the number of call releases by the BSC on the traffic channel due
to an abnormal internal resource status.
Measurement point
When a TCH is seized to carry traffic during a call, this counter is measured in the following
situations:
l A call drop occurs because of any of the following: 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.
l 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, and the handover cause is other
causes than OM intervention, MSC triggering, or preemption.
l A call drop occurs because of call assignment failure during the handover.
l The MSC cannot send a short message because of the restriction on sending downlink short
messages in data configuration or because of flow control, and then the call is released.
l A call drop occurs because of software error.
This counter is calculated at A4, as shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4.

Description
After the MS seizes a traffic channel, the BSC initiates forced handover in the case of channel
preemption, channel failure, or channel blocking. If the handover of the MS fails, the BSC
releases the call.
This measurement provides the number of call releases by the BSC on the traffic channel due
to forced handover failure.
Measurement point
When a TCH is seized to carry traffic during a call, this counter is measured in the following
situations:
l The timer expires before the outgoing BSC handover command is received, or the CLEAR
REQUEST message is received from the MSC before the timer expires, and the handover
cause is OM intervention, MSC triggering, or preemption.
l A call drop occurs during the emergency handover because of PDCH assignment, or during
the handover caused by TRX mutual aid, preemption, or blocking of cells, TRXs, and
channels.

Description
In the immediate assignment procedure and the handover procedure, after the MS accesses the
SDCCH assigned by the BSC, the procedure fails to be performed due to various reasons. This
measurement provides the number of call drops on the SDCCH. Alternatively, when the MS
normally seizes the SDCCH, this measurement provides the number of call drops due to various
reasons. Then the BSC sends the CLEAR REQUEST message to the MSC.
This measurement provides the number of call releases by the BSC on the SDCCH due to various
reasons.
Measurement point
When an SDCCH is seized during a call, this counter is measured in the following situations:
l The BSC receives an ERROR INDICATION message from the BTS because of the
abnormal connection on the radio link layer. For details, refer to GSM Rec. 08.58.
l The BSC receives a CONNECTION FAILURE INDICATION message from the BTS
because of link fault or hardware fault on the radio link layer. For details, refer to GSM
Rec. 08.58.
l 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.

handover.
l The timer set to wait for an HO CMP message expires during outgoing external inter-cell
handover.
l The timer set to wait for an HO CMP message expires during incoming external inter-cell
handover.
l The BSC does not receive any measurement report within a certain period (by default, five
minutes) and sends a CLEAR REQUEST message to the MSC to release the call.
l The BSC detects a broken RSL and releases all the calls on the RSL.
l A call drop occurs in 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.
l 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.

ID Counter Description
Description
In the assignment procedure, a call is set up when the BSC receives the CONNECT and the
CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE messages from the CC layer. In the incoming-BSC handover
procedure, a call is set up when the target cell sends a Handover Complete message to the MSC.
In the internal BSC handover process, a call is set up when a HANDOVER PERFORMED
message is sent to the MSC after the MS is handed over to the target cell. The BSC measures
this counter when call drop after the assignment procedure or the handover procedure.
Measurement point
l When the MS is in normal conversation on the radio channel, the BSC detects a CONNECT
or CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE message. If an abnormal case for a radio link layer
connection occurs, the BTS sends an ERROR INDICATION message to the BSC. This
counter is measured when the BSC receives the ERROR INDICATION message. For
details, refer to GSM Rec. 08.58.
l When the MS is in normal conversation on the radio channel, the BSC detects a CONNECT
or CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE message. If a broken radio link connection or hardware
fault occurs, the BTS sends a CONNECTION FAILURE INDICATION message to the
BSC. This counter is measured when the BSC receives the CONNECTION FAILURE
INDICATION message. For details, refer to GSM Rec. 08.58.
l This counter is measured if the timer expires before the BSC receives the CLEAR
HANDOVER message from the MSC during the outgoing BSC handover procedure.
l In the intra-BSC handover procedure, if the timer expires before the target cell receives the
HANDOVER COMPLETE message, the target cell sends an Inter Clear message to the
originating cell to inform it of the handover failure. This counter is measured in the
originating cell when the Inter Clear message is received.
l In the intra-BSC handover procedure, if the timer expires before the target cell receives the
HANDOVER COMPLETE message, the target cell sends an Inter Clear message to the
originating cell to inform it of the handover failure. This counter is measured in the
originating cell when the Inter Clear message is received.
l During the intra-BSC handover procedure, if the MS returns the original channel because
of a handover failure, the originating cell releases the terrestrial connection and restores
the network. This counter is measured if a call drop occurs due to a timeout or failure occurs
in the network restoration.
l If the BSC and the MSC supports preemption, the radio resource used by an MS with lower
priority may be preempted by an MS with higher priority, leading to the call drop of the
MS with lower priority.
l This counter is measured when a broken RSL is detected on the traffic channel on the TRX
used.
This counter is calculated at A1, A2, A3, and A4, as shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, and
Figure 4.

Description
This measurement provides the number of successful connections in the CS service. In the
immediate assignment procedure, after establishing the MM connection, the calling MS sends
a SETUP message to the BTS to request a call setup if a CC connection is required. Then the
MSC returns a CALL PROCESSING message and pages the called MS. After establishing the
MM connection with the called MS, the MSC sends a SETUP message to the called MS to
establish the CC connection. If the called MS permits the call setup, the called MS responds
with a CALL CONFIRMED message. After seizing a TCH, the called MS sends an ALERTING
message to the MSC. Then, the MSC sends the ALERTING message to the calling MS. After
the called MS answers, it sends a CONNECT message to the calling MS. The calling MS
responds with a CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE message. Then the call is successfully
established and enters the conversation state.
Measurement point
This counter is measured when the BSC detects a CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE message.

ID Counter Description
Description
This measurement provides the number of abnormal call releases due to various reasons after
the MS seizes a signaling channel on the TRX in the overlaid subcell.
Measurement point
When a signaling channel carried on the TRX in the overlaid subcell is seized during a call, this
counter is measured in the following situations:
l The BSC receives an ERROR INDICATION message from the BTS because of the
abnormal connection on the radio link layer. For details, refer to GSM Rec. 08.58.
l The BSC receives a CONNECTION FAILURE INDICATION message from the BTS
because of link fault or hardware fault on the radio link layer. For details, refer to GSM
Rec. 08.58.
l The BSC receives an REL IND message from the BTS. Previously, the BTS has received
a DISC frame from the MS in the multi-frame link set-up state. For details, refer to GSM
Rec. 08.58.
l The BSC does not receive any measurement report within a certain period (by default, five
minutes) and sends a CLEAR REQUEST message to the MSC to release the call.
l The BSC detects a broken RSL and releases all the calls on the RSL.
l 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.
l 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.
l A call drop occurs due to call assignment failure during the handover.
l 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.
l A call drop occurs due to software error.
l The call is released due to the inconsistency in the check for the internal resources of the
BSC.
This counter is calculated at A1, A2, A3, and A4, as shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure
4, and Figure 5.

ID Counter Description
Description
This measurement provides the rate of TCH call drops (including handover) to successful TCH
seizures (including handover).
Note:
The TCH call drop rate (including handover) focuses on the channel, whereas the TCH call drop
rate (excluding handover) focuses on the end-user perception.
The TCH call drop rate (including handover) is the call drop probability measured based on the
channel resource occupancy. During a call, the number of channel occupancies is equal to the
number of handovers happened. If call drop occurs after only one handover, then the channel
occupancy of other handovers during the call is regarded as successful.
The TCH call drop rate (excluding handover) is the call drop probability measured for one call.
The TCH occupancy of a call is regarded as unsuccessful as long as call drop occurs, without
considering how many handovers happen during the call.
Measurement point
See measurement points of the counters in the formula.
Formula
Call Drop Rate on TCH per cell(including Handover) = [Call Drops on Traffic Channel] *
{100}/([Successful TCH Seizures (Signaling Channel)] + [Successful TCH Seizures
(Traffic Channel)] + [Successful TCH Seizures in TCH handovers (Traffic Channel)])
The preceding formula does not take the impact of inter-RAT handover on call drops into
account. When inter-RAT handovers occur, you are advised to use the following customized
formula:
Where,
Therefore, it is recommended that the following formula be used when inter-RAT handovers
are detected:
Call drop rate on TCH per cell (Including Handover) = (X + Number of times the outgoing inter-
RAT inter-cell handover timer expires) * {100}/(Y + Number of successful incoming inter-RAT
inter-cell handovers))

When the number of successful outgoing inter-RAT handovers reaches the upper limit, the value
of this counter may be negative or even greater than 100% if the following formula is used:
Call drop rate on TCH per cell (excluding handover) = X * 100/Y
Where,
X = [Call Drops on Traffic Channel];
Y = {([Successful TCH Seizures (Traffic Channel)]+[Number of Incoming Internal Inter-

Therefore, it is recommended that the following formula be used when inter-RAT handovers
are detected:
Call drop rate on TCH per cell (excluding handover) = (X + Number of times the outgoing inter-
RAT inter-cell handover timer expires) * {100}/(Y + Number of successful incoming inter-RAT

indicates common MSs released due to resource preemption by high-priority MSs when
resources are insufficient.
The GSM system provides enhanced Multi-Level Precedence and Pre-emption service (eMLPP),
a supplementary service. When resources are insufficient, the use of eMLPP ensures the priority
of high-priority MSs, but in certain scenarios (for example: emergency call preemption) the call
drop rate of common calls increases.

ID Counter Description
Description
This counter provides the average uplink receive level during the initiation of an intra-BSC intra-
cell handover, an intra-BSC inter-cell handover, or an outgoing external inter-cell handover after
the BSC receiving a valid MR from the MS or a pre-processed MR from the BTS.
This counter indicates the conditions in the serving cell when a handover occurs.
Measurement point
After receiving a valid MR from the MS or a pre-processed MR from the BTS, the BSC makes
a handover decision. If a handover is required, the serving cell initiates a handover, which can
be an internal intra-cell handover, an internal inter-cell handover, or an external BSC handover.
The uplink receiving level in the last MR that triggers each handover is accumulated. The value
of this counter is obtained by dividing the accumulated uplink receiving levels by the times of
attempting to initiate the preceding three types of handovers in the serving cell.

In the immediate assignment procedure, an MS reports a FIRST SABM frame to the BTS on
the seized signaling channel (SDCCH, TCHF, or TCHH). Through this frame, the MS notifies
the BTS that the radio link layer has entered the multiframe link setup state. The BTS returns a
UA frame to the MS and sends the BSC an EST IND message to notify the BSC that the link is
established on the Um interface.

Description
In the immediate assignment procedure, the BSC attempts to assign a channel after receiving a
CHAN RQD message from the BTS. After successfully assigning a channel, the BSC sends a
channel activation message to the BTS. If the BSC receives a CHAN ACTIV ACK message
indicating that the channel is ready from the BTS, the BSC sends an IMM ASS CMD message
to the MS to instruct the MS to access the specified channel. After the MS successfully occupies
the channel (the channel type may be SDCCH, TCHF, or TCHH), it sends the BTS an SABM
frame over this channel, notifying the BTS that the radio link layer enters the multi-frame link
setup state. The BTS responds with a UA frame. Meanwhile, the BTS checks whether the MS
is a local user and whether the call is initiated between local users. If the call is made between
local users, the BTS sends the BSC a Local Channel Request message, requesting the BSC to
assign a TCH. Subsequently, the signaling of the call does not pass the BSC.
When the local user management function is enabled, you need to sum up Number of Local Call
Indications (Signaling Channel) and Number of Local SMSs (Signaling Channel) of all cells in
the BSC to obtain the number of call setup indications of the BSC and then calculate Success
Rate of Call Setup (Immediate Assignment) per BSC. Otherwise, the calculated success rate is
low. The two counters, however, are not involved to calculate the success rate when the local
user management function is disabled.
This counter provides the number of calls initiated by a local user. Along with Number of Local
SMSs (Signaling Channel), this counter reflects the service distribution of the local user.
Measurement point
The measurement is triggered when the BSC receives a Local Channel Request message from
the BTS.

BSC determines whether to initiate the handover from the originating cell to the target cell
through the handover algorithm. If the originating cell and the target cell are controlled by
different BSCs, the external inter-cell handover is initiated. The specific counter provides the
number of incoming external inter-cell handover requests based on the target cell under control
of the target BSC. Together with the Incoming External Inter-Cell Handover Responses and the
Failed Incoming External Inter-Cell Handovers, this counter determines the incoming external
inter-cell handover performance.
The following counters provide the numbers of incoming external inter-cell handover requests
initiated by other BSCs based on the handover algorithm. The MS may seize a channel (SDCCH/
TCH) before the handover. They are measured when the BSC receives an HO REQ message
from the MSC.

because the CIC on the A interface specified in the HO REQ message is unavailable, after the
BSC receives the HO REQ from the MSC.
l H342E:CELL.INTERBSC.INCELL.HO.FAIL.NO.CIC
The following counter provides the number of failed incoming external inter-cell handovers
because the CIC on the A interface specified in the HO REQ message has already been allocated
to another MS, after the BSC receives the HO REQ from the MSC.
l H342F:CELL.INTERBSC.INCELL.HO.FAIL.CIC.AVAIL
3) The following counters provide the numbers of failed incoming external inter-cell handovers
because the MS fails to access the new channel on the Um interface.
During incoming external inter-cell handover procedure, after successfully allocating and
activating the channel in the target cell, the BSC sends an HO REQ ACK message to the MSC
and starts the timer to wait for the HO CMP message. If no HO COMP message is received
before the timer expires, the BSC releases the call. The specific counter provides the number of
failed incoming external inter-cell handovers, based on the channel type and service type of the
target channel (SDCCH, TCH as signaling channel, or TCH as traffic channel) in this scenario.

l H342HG:CELL.INTERBSC.INCELL.HO.FAIL.MSC.CLR.CMD.PROTOCOL.ERR
l H342HH:CELL.INTERBSC.INCELL.HO.FAIL.MSC.CLR.CMD.OTHER.FAIL
The main causes for a failed incoming external inter-cell handover include:
1. Causes related to message decoding
l The BSC fails to decode the HO REQ message
2. Causes related to resource allocation
l No traffic channel is available
l No Abis resource is available
l No speech version is available
l The BSC fails to obtain the terrestrial resources

Description
During the incoming external inter-cell handover procedure, a timer starts after the BSC sends
the HO CMD to the MS. This counter provides the number of failed incoming external inter-
cell handovers due to the expiration of the timer. The handovers involve the SDCCH, TCH
signaling channel, or TCH traffic channel.
Measurement point
As shown in Figure 1, the counter is measured at point C when the incoming external inter-cell
handover fails because the timer for the BSC waiting for handover completion expires.

Description
According to the MR sent from the MS, the BSC determines whether a handover is required
based on the handover algorithm. If the handover (internal inter-cell handover or external inter-
cell handover) is caused by TA (During conversation, a handover is triggered in the target cell
because the signal strength and quality in the serving cell decreases when the MS leaves or
accesses the serving cell.) This counter indicates the frequency of the handover caused by the
TA in the target cell.
Measurement point
1. In the internal inter-cell handover procedure, the direct retry procedure, or the internal inter-
cell handover (BSC loop) procedure, the originating cell sends an Intercell Handover Request
message to the target cell after handover algorithm decision at C1, as shown in the following
figure. This counter is incremented by one if the target cell (serving cell) detects that the handover
cause is TA.
Figure 1-286
2. In the external inter-BSC handover procedure, after the target BSC receives a HO REQ
message from the MSC, the BSC checks whether the incoming handover meets the conditions.
If the handover is required, the BSC requests a channel, generates a HO CMD message and saves
it in the buffer. Then, the BSC sends a CHAN ACTIV message to the BTS. After receiving a
CHAN ACTIV ACK message from the BTS, the BSC sends a HO REQ ACKE message
encapsulated with the HO CMD message to the MSC and checks the handover cause. If the
handover cause is TA, this counter is incremented by one.

Overview
Outgoing External Inter-Cell Handover Measurement per Cell can be classified into Outgoing
External Inter-Cell Handover (Excluding Directed Retry) and Outgoing External Inter-Cell
Handover (Directed Retry).
The following is the block diagram that shows the measurement points of the counters related
to outgoing external inter-cell handover.
Figure 1-289 Block diagram of outgoing external inter-cell handover measurement procedure
Figure 1-290 Measurement of the counters related to outgoing external inter-cell handover
(excluding directed retry)
The procedure of the outgoing external inter-cell handover (excluding directed retry) is as
follows: BSC1 initiates an external inter-cell handover based on the handover algorithm.
BSC1 sends an HO RQD message to the MSC.Based on the HO RQD message and the relation
between the cell and the BSC, the MSC finds BSC2 and sends an HO REQ message to BSC2.
BSC2 requests for a traffic channel from the target cell. After the request succeeds, BSC2 sends
a CHAN ACTIV message to the target cell. After receiving a CHAN ACTIV ACK message
from the target cell, BSC2 requests for speech service resources. After the request succeeds,
BSC2 sends the MSC an HO REQ ACK message to notify the MSC that the target cell is ready
for the MS access.
The MSC sends an HO CMD message to BSC1 and BSC1 forwards this message to the MS.
This message is used to request the MS to access the target cell.
The MS sends the target cell an HO ACC message to attempt to access the target cell. BTS2
sends an HO DETECT message to BSC2 and a PHY INFO message to the MS.
The MS sends a FIRST SABM frame to BTS2. After receiving this frame, BTS2 sends an EST
IND message to BSC2 and returns a UA frame to the MS.
After the MS accesses the target cell, it sends an HO CMP message to BSC2 and BSC2 forwards
this message to the MSC.
The MSC sends a CLR CMD message to BSC1 and the BSC1 releases the terrestrial resources
in the source cell.BSC1 sends a CLR CMP message to the MSC.
Figure 1-291 Measurement of the counters related to outgoing external inter-cell handover
(directed retry)
As shown in Figure 3, the MS sends a CHAN RQD message to BTS1 and BTS1 forwards it to
BSC1.
BSC1 requests for a signaling channel from the source cell. If the request succeeds, BSC1 sends
a CHAN ACTIV message to the source cell. After receiving a CHAN ACTIV ACK message
from the source cell, BSC1 sends an IMM ASS CMD to the MS through the source cell.
The MS sends a FIRST SABM frame to BTS1 and BTS1 returns a UA frame. After receiving
the FIRST SABM frame, BTS1 sends an EST IND message to BSC1.
BSC1 extracts the CM SERV REQ message carried in the EST IND message, encapsulates it
into a connection request (CR) message, and sends the CR message to the MSC.
The MSC returns a Connection Confirm (CC) message. The MM connection between the MS
and the MSC is established.
After the transmission of the CM SERV ACCEPT, SETUP, and CALL PROCEEDING
messages, the MSC sends an ASSIGN REQ message to BSC1.
BSC1 selects a kind of assignment procedure (normal assignment procedure, mode modify
procedure, directed retry procedure) based on the load of the source cell.
If the subsequent services are unavailable or the subsequent services affect the existing services
because the cell load is too high, BSC1 selects the directed retry procedure. If the source cell
and the target cell are controlled by two BSCs, the directed retry is performed through an external
inter-cell handover procedure. If the measurement is performed in the source cell, the outgoing
external inter-cell handover procedure is initiated.
BSC1 sends an HO RQD message to the MSC to initiate an external inter-cell handover.
Based on the HO RQD message and the relation between the cell and the BSC, the MSC finds
BSC2 and sends an HO REQ message to BSC2.
BSC2 requests for a channel from the target cell. After the request succeeds, BSC2 sends a
CHAN ACTIV message to the target cell. After receiving a CHAN ACTIV ACK message from
the target cell, BSC2 requests for speech service resources. After the request succeeds, BSC2
sends the MSC an HO REQ ACK message to notify the MSC that the target cell is ready for the
MS access.
The MSC sends an HO CMD message to BSC1 and BSC1 forwards this message to the MS.
This message is used to request the MS to access the target cell.
The MS sends the target cell an HO ACC message to attempt to access the target cell. BTS2
sends an HO DETECT message to BSC2 and a PHY INFO message to the MS.
BSC2 sends an HO DETECT message to the MSC. The MS sends a FIRST SABM frame to
BTS2. After receiving this frame, BTS2 returns a UA frame to the MS and sends an EST IND
message to BSC2.
The MS sends an HO CMP message to BSC2 and BSC2 forwards this message to the MSC.
The MSC sends a CLR CMD message to BSC1 and the BSC1 releases the terrestrial resources
in the source cell.

The BSC decides whether to initiate a handover based on the MR and the handover algorithm.
If the originating cell and the target cell are controlled by the different BSC, an internal inter-
cell handover is initiated. The specific counter provides the number of outgoing external inter-
cell handover requests in the originating cell initiated by the BSC based on the handover
algorithm. Together with the Outgoing External Inter-Cell Handover Commands and the Failed
Outgoing External Inter-Cell Handovers, this counter determines the outgoing external inter-
cell handover performance.
The following counters provide the numbers of outgoing external inter-cell handover requests
initiated by the BSC based on the handover algorithm (excluding direct retry) when the handover
occurs. The target channel for handover can be SDCCH, TCHF, or TCHH. They are measured
when the outgoing external inter-cell handover is initiated.

The following counters provide the numbers of outgoing external inter-cell handover requests
initiated by the BSC using BQ handover algorithm based on the UL or DL receive quality in the
MR. They are measured when the outgoing external inter-cell handover is initiated.
l H330A:CELL.INTERBSC.OUTCELL.HO.REQ.UL.QLTY
l H330B:CELL.INTERBSC.OUTCELL.HO.REQ.DL.QLTY
The receive quality is evaluated with bit error rate (BER), and the radio link quality is evaluated
with the quality level in the MR. A high BER may be attributed to an excessively low signal
level or channel interference.
BQ handover algorithm is for emergency handover based on the uplink or downlink receive
quality over the Um interface. If uplink quality rank is greater than or equal to the UL Qual.
Threshold, the BQ handover is initiated because of bad uplink quality. If downlink quality rank
is greater than or equal to the DL Qual. Threshold, the BQ handover is initiated because of bad
downlink quality.
The following counters provide the numbers of outgoing external inter-cell handover requests
initiated by the BSC using BQ handover algorithm based on the UL or DL receive level in the

l H330C:CELL.INTERBSC.OUTCELL.HO.REQ.UL.RXL
l H330D:CELL.INTERBSC.OUTCELL.HO.REQ.DL.RXL
Edge handover algorithm is used to determine whether to initiate a handover based on the uplink
or downlink receive level over the Um interface. If the uplink receive level is smaller than the
Edge HO UL RX_LEV Threshold, the edge handover is initiated because of the low uplink level.
If the downlink receive level is smaller than the Edge HO DL RX_LEV Threshold, the edge
handover is initiated because of the low downlink level.
The following counter provides the number of outgoing external inter-cell handover requests
initiated by the BSC using TA handover algorithm based on the TA value in the MR. It is
measured when the outgoing external inter-cell handover is initiated.
l H330E:CELL.INTERBSC.OUTCELL.HO.REQ.TA
TA for a common cell: 0-63; TA for an underlaid subcell in a dual-timeslot extended cell: 0-219.
If there are 63 bits and each bit step is 553.5 m, the distance is 35 km.
TA handover algorithm is for emergency handover based on the TA value reported by the BTS.
If the TA value is greater than the TA Threshold, a TA handover is initiated.
The following counter provides the number of outgoing external inter-cell handover requests
initiated by the BSC based on the MRs using algorithms such as power budget handover (PBGT),
inter-layer handover (better cell), and better 3G cell handover. It is measured when the outgoing
external inter-cell handover is initiated.
l H330F:CELL.INTERBSC.OUTCELL.HO.REQ.BETTER.CELL
PBGT handover algorithm is used to decide whether to initiate a handover to a valid cell with a
lower path loss.
Inter-layer (better cell) handover algorithm is used to decide whether to initiate a handover to a
cell which is on a lower layer than the serving cell and whose downlink level is greater than the
Inter-layer HO Threshold.
Better 3G cell handover algorithm is used to determine whether to initiate a handover based on
the measurement object. If the measurement object is RSCP and the measured result is greater
than the RSCP Threshold for Better 3G Cell HO, or if the measurement object is Ec/No and the
measured result is greater than the Ec/NO Threshold for Better 3G Cell HO, then a handover to
a 3G better cell is initiated.
The following counter provides the number of outgoing external inter-cell handover requests
initiated by the BSC using load handover algorithm based on the load condition on the serving
cell. It is measured when the outgoing external inter-cell handover is initiated.
l H330G:CELL.INTERBSC.OUTCELL.HO.REQ.LOAD
Load handover algorithm is used to decide whether to initiate a handover based on the load
conditions on the serving cell and the neighboring cell. If the system signaling flow is smaller
than the System Flux Threshold for Load HO, the load on the serving cell is greater than the
Load HO Threshold and the load on the target cell is smaller than the Load Req.on Candidate
Cell, a load handover is initiated.
The following counter provides the number of outgoing external inter-cell handover requests
initiated by the BSC using the rapid lever drop algorithm based on the MRs. It is measured when
the outgoing external inter-cell handover is initiated.
l H330H:CELL.INTERBSC.OUTCELL.HO.REQ.RAPID.LEV.DROP
Rapid lever drop algorithm is used to decide whether to initiate a handover based on the downlink
receive level in the measurement report. When the drop slope of the downlink receive level
meets the specified threshold, a rapid lever drop handover is initiated.
The following counter provides the numbers of outgoing external inter-cell handover requests
initiated by the BSC based on the HANDOVER CANDIDATE ENQUIRE message received
from the MSC. It is measured when the outgoing external inter-cell handover is initiated.
l H330I:CELL.INTERBSC.OUTCELL.HO.REQ.MSC.INTERVENTION
After receiving the HANDOVER CANDIDATE ENQUIRE message from the MSC, the BSC
instructs proper MSs in the source cell to perform forced handover, based on the originating cell
ID and the number of MSs to perform handovers contained in that message. The MSs that are
forced to perform handover are as many as the specified number of MSs contained in the
message.
The following counter provides the number of outgoing external inter-cell handover requests
initiated manually by the maintenance personnel from the maintenance terminal. It is measured
when the BSC initiates the outgoing external inter-cell handover based on the handover
algorithm after receiving the maintenance command requesting for outgoing external inter-cell
handover.
l H330J:CELL.INTERBSC.OUTCELL.HO.REQ.OM.INTERVENTION
If a BSC is configured with multiple signaling points, the procedure of handover between cells
at different signaling points is identical with that of the external inter-cell handover.
The following counter provides the number of Outgoing External Inter-Cell Handover Requests
(Different Signaling Points). It is measured when the outgoing external inter-cell handover is
initiated when the originating cell and target cell are at different signaling points of the same
BSC.

During the outgoing external inter-cell handover procedure, if the handover fails because of
various causes before the BSC receives the CLEAR CMD message with the cause of Ho Success
from the MSC, the specific counter is measured based on the source channel types, handover
failure causes, handover causes. Together with Outgoing External Inter-Cell Handover Requests

ID Counter Description
Description
Based on the MR sent by the MS, the BSC uses the handover algorithm to determine whether a
handover is required. If a handover is required, and if the originating cell (current cell) and the
target cell are managed by different BSCs, the BSC initiates an external inter-cell handover.
This counter provides the number of outgoing external inter-cell handover requests initiated by
the BSC. The measurement is performed based on the originating cell and involves handovers
on the SDCCH, TCHF and TCHH.
Measurement point
As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, the counter is measured at A when the BSC determines that
an outgoing external inter-cell handover is required based on the measurement report.

Overview
When the MSC in the GSM system (hereinafter referred to as MSC1) receives a handover request
message from the MSC in other radio communication system such as UMTS or TD-SCDMA
(hereinafter referred to as MSC2), MSC1 finds the BSC for the target cell (hereinafter referred
to as BSC1) based on both the target cell information in the message and the cell-BSC relation
specified in the data configuration. Then, MSC1 sends an HO REQ message to BSC1.
After successfully allocating the channel resources in the target cell, BSC1 sends a CHAN
ACTIV message to the target cell (hereinafter referred to as BTS1), and requests relevant
resources for circuit services after receiving the CHAN ACTIV ACK message from BTS1. When
the resources for circuit services are assigned successfully, BSC1 sends an HO REQ ACK
message to MSC1.
When the MS receives the HO CMD from MSC2, it attempts to access BTS1 by sending an HO
ACC message. Then BTS1 sends an HO DETECT message to MSC1, and a PHY INFO message
to the MS.
The MS sends a FIRST SABM frame to access the network. BTS1 sends a EST IND message
to BSC1 and a UA frame to the MS for acknowledgement.
After the MS accesses the network, it sends an HO CMP message to MSC1. The inter-RAT
incoming cell handover is complete.

inter-RAT inter-cell handover; Figure 2 is the block diagram that shows the measurement points

In the supplement handover, the resource reservation is performed between the RNC and the
BSC without the processing of the core network. To maintain the compatibility with the core
network, the original relocation procedure is still performed.
In the optimized handover, after the UE is handed over from the source RNC to the target BSC,
the data of the UE is still transmitted between the target BSC and the core network through the
source RNC. The procedure of the handover from the RNC to the BSC is transparent to the core
network. The uplink data that arrives at the target BSC is sent over the Iur-g interface to the
source RNC and then forwarded to the core network. The downlink data must arrive at the source
RNC and then be forwarded to the target BSC.

Overview
The Outgoing Inter-RAT Inter-Cell Handover Measurement per Cell can be classified into
Outgoing Inter-RAT Inter-Cell Handover Requests (Excluding Directed Retry) and Outgoing
Inter-RAT Inter-Cell Handover Requests (Directed Retry).
The following is the block diagram that shows the measurement points of the counters related
to outgoing Inter-RAT inter-cell handover.

retry)
the MS to access the target cell. When the MS accesses to the target cell successfully, MSC1
notifies MSC2 of the completion of incoming inter-RAT inter-cell handover. Then MSC2 sends
CLR CMD to BSC2. When the source cell resource has been released, BSC2 replies a CLR
CMP message to MSC2. Thus, the outgoing inter-RAT inter-cell handover is complete.
Figure 1-334 Outgoing inter-RAT inter-cell handover requests procedure (directed retry)
After that, BSC2 sends HQ RQD to MSC2, requesting MSC2 to notify the other system of
initiating the handover. Based on its data configuration, MSC2 finds out the corresponding of
the other system, that is, MSC1, and sends a handover request to MSC1. When the other system
is ready for the handover, it informs MSC2. Then MSC2 sends an HO CMD message to BSC2
to notify the MS of initiating the handover. BSC2 sends HO CMD to the MS in the source cell,
requesting the MS to access the target cell. When the MS gets normal access to the target cell,
MSC1 notifies MSC2 of the completion of incoming inter-RAT inter-cell handover. Then MSC2
sends CLR CMD to BSC2. When the source cell resource has been released, BSC2 replies a
CLR CMP message to MSC2. Thus, the outgoing inter-RAT inter-cell handover in the directed
retry procedure is complete.
