[RF] SDCCH Assignment Success Rate

May 19, 2011 by TheBeeliever Leave a comment

Definition : When from the MS SDCCH Request is sent to Base Station and if MS
successfully gets the SDCCH in response SDCCH Assignment has done successfully.

Analysis :

1.Identify the Bad performing Cells for SDCCH Assignment Success Rate
2.Take the detailed report showing (Ex. Total SDCCH Assignment Request, Total SDCCH
Assignment Successful)
3.Follow the below mentioned Process after Analyzing detailed report.
4.From Report Check whether you have Idle SDCCH available in cell or not for SDCCH
Assignment, because the Main factor for lowering SDCCH Assignment success rate is
SDCCH congestion.
6.Check Hardware/Transmission alarms; Resolve if find any.
Audit for any parameters related discrepancies and define as per standard
parameters set.
7.RF and Environmental Factors:
a. Low Coverage Areas (Try to reduce low coverage patches with physical
optimization; New sites)
b. Interference/ Bad quality/ UL-DL Imbalance;
c. Check the states for TRx on which SDCCH is configured can be issue of TRx also;
Change TRx if you found random behavior of TRx.
9. After all rectification observe the subsequent days report if you still find the
problem repeat the same process with due care to Pin Point the actual cause.
SDCCH Congestion:

Check The SDCCH Requests (Immediate Assignment Measurement Per Cell Report form
M2000)
Ex. Call purpose, SMS, Location Update
If you find High SDCCH Request and low TCH utilization, Check �SDCCH Dynamic
Allocation Allow� feature is enabled or not? if not enable this feature.
If you have very High SDCCH Request for Location Updating; optimize the LAC
boundary.
Only For some exceptional cases you can increase the Static SDCCH Time Slots.
Parameter :

SDCCH Dynamic Allocation Allowed

Description

This parameter indicates whether the SDCCH dynamic allocation is allowed, and
whether the dynamic adjustment between TCHs and SDCCHs is allowed.
Then the number of GSM subscribers in a cell increases rapidly, many subscribers
may fail to access the network due to insufficient SDCCH resources. In this case,
the TCHs (including TCH and dynamic PDCH that acts as TCH) must be converted into
SDCCHs to ensure the access of most subscribers.
The SDCCH dynamic adjustment increases system capacity and reduces the dependence
on the calculation accuracy of signaling channel requirement.
Remarks

SDCCH dynamic allocation enables TCHs to be converted into SDCCH.

This reduces the number of available TCHs and thus reduces the capability of the
TCHs to carry traffic.
Algorithm :

Check RF Coverage
Check Immediate assignment on TCH
High SMS volume
High Location area Update volume
Check SDCCH dimensioning
Adaptive configuration of Logical Channel

I am not Huawei expert But the formula is not correct What you call IMSS ASS is
actually SDCCH establish success rate and location update part shouldn't be
included As Location update is not part of Call setup procedure
The CSSR should be like this
CSSR =(SDCCH setup success rate for CS call only) (1-SDCCH drop) (TCH Assignment
Success Rate)

If there is no proper counter you will not have any choice and the formula would be
like this:
CSSR=(SDCCH Success rate for any reason) (1-SDCCH drop) * (TCH assignment success
rate)
So you need to check available counters in Huawei system
