„ Outer Interrupt Num

f The number of outer interrupt in common originating calls will be
reported when the AN receives the ReleaseRequest message from
the AT or the PDSN in common originating calls.

„ Block Failure Num

f The number of failed common originating calls due to a block will be
reported when the connection setup fails because of lack of
resources (including CE, MacIndex, Power) in common originating
calls.
 Call Index (6)

„ RF Access Failure Num

f The number of RF access failure will be reported when AN fails to
capture AT or does not receive TrafficChannelComplete after
timeout

„ Other Failure Num

f The number of failed common originating calls due to other
reasons will be reported when the common originating calls
fail, not owing to the reasons above.

 Virtual Handoff Index (1)

„ Virtual Handoff Index Statistics

f SFT_HoSNum: Virtual soft handoff success number

f SFT_HoFNum: Virtual soft handoff failure number

„ Statistics Method
f SFT_HoSNum: AN captures that the DRC channel of the
AT is directed from a source sector to a target sector that
can perform soft handoff with the source sector, and can
successfully transfers the forward signals to the new target
sector.
f SFT_HoFNum: When AN detects that the DRC channel of
AT moves away from the current sector due to multi-casting
timeout, it fails to transfer the forward sending to another
new destination sector which has soft relationship with the
current sector. The number of soft handoff failure will be
reported.

 Release Index (3)

„ Success Release Num

f Because AN receives ConnectitonClose message from AT
or Dormancy timer expires, or negotiation is successful but
access authentication is not valid, it will start release
process, after releasing the resources, one time of normal
release will be reported.
f during A16 hard handoff, after traffic channel re-
assignment, the source AN will start the source side
release, one time of normal release will be reported.
 Release Index (4)

„ System call failure number

f because of over loading or other process problem, AN will
start release process. After releasing the resources, one
time of normal release will be reported.

„ Radio Drop Num

f the release procedure will be initiated by the reason of radio
link lost.
