BSC Overall Performance Analysis


For BSC overall analysis, mostly focus on call drop rate. If cell reselection is performed during transmission, call drop will occurs. However, the TBF transmission time is short , the impact on services is relatively small. If the call drop rate is high, need to check the traffic of cells in the suspicious period of time and find the cells with extremely high call drop rate. For details, refer to the check of the retain ability KPIs of cells.

Copyright 2009 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page14

In the current GPRS network, mostly the MS reselects a cell totally by itself. If cell reselection is performed during transmission, call drop will occurs. However, the TBF transmission time is short (2 to 3 seconds), the impact on services is relatively small although the call drop rate in the GPRS system is higher than that in the CS system. If the call drop rate is high, need to check the traffi of cells in the suspicious period of time and find the cells with extremely high call drop rate. Locate the faults (the common case is faulty cell channel status and network optimization problems) and rectify them. For details, refer to the check of the retain ability KPIs of cells.

Retransmission and CS upgrade


For the GPRS network, if the retransmission rate is too high, the setting of the initial coding scheme may be inappropriate. The retransmission rate can be excessively high if a high rate is adopted for data transmission. Another possibility is that the setting of the coding rate adjustment threshold in the CSPARA parameter table is inappropriate, and thus the MS and the network cannot use the optimal coding scheme for transmission. For the EDGE network, check the setting of the initial coding scheme (the rate adjustment threshold for the EDGE network is fixed). If the data configuration is correct, you need to check whether there is interference on the Um interface.

Assignment Success Rate Analysis


Due to the speech service preferred and the data service features, the assignment success rate of the GPRS network is usually higher than that of the GSM network. If the assignment success rate is low, you need to check the traffic measurement data of cells in the suspicious period of time. Usually, you can find the cells with extremely high congestion rate. Locate the faults and rectify them. For details, refer to the check of the radio access KPIs of cells.

Access Performance no channel available


Check the counter Number of uplink/downlink TBF establishment failures due to no channel. If the congestion rate is high because of these two counters, the possible causes are as follows: The user manually blocks the channel or cell, leading to MS access difficulties. Check the Number of BSC-originated channel blocking, Number of BSC-originated cell blocking, and Number of Gb-originated cell blocking in the Resource Maintenance Capability Measurement to determine whether channels are blocked in the statistic period.

Access Performance no channel available


If no channels are blocked, the number of multiplexed packet channels and MSs may reach the maximum value, leading to MS access difficulties. Adjust MaxUlHighLd/MaxDlHighLd of the pdchpara table on the PCU maintenance terminal to allow the cell to carry more PS services. If you only adjust the maximum number of multiplexed MSs on the channel, the transmission rate of the MS is affected. If the cell does not have static PDCHs, configure a static PDCH. If the cell has static PDCHs, add more dynamic PDCHs.

Access Performance --no channel available


When wide coverage is available, one RPPU[Pb] of the PCU may be configured with more than 120 cells, When the PS services on the board is busy, if the cell is configured with only dynamic channels the cell may be congested because of insufficient channels. CCCH random access collision may affect the success rate of CCCH uplink assignment. Analyze the cause together with the Mean Interval of Packet Access Requests on CCCH (s). PDCH out-of-synchronization may also lead to insufficient PS resources and assignment failure. If the PDCH out-of-synchronization alarm is reported, check whether the links between the PCU and the BSC and between the BTS and the BSC are normal.

Access Performance MS no response


The counter Number of Uplink/Downlink TBF Establishment Failures due to MS No Response are the main cause of the low Assignment success rate. The quality of the transmission links of the cell is poor and the block BER is high.
You can adjust the GPRS network parameters, such as T3168, to improve the success rate of TBF access.

If the traffic volume of PS services is high, the queue is long and the assignment message delay is long, leading to TBF establishment failure.
If the traffic volume of PS services and the duration exceed the adjustment capability of optimization, capacity expansion is recommended.

Resource Utilization
The PDCH utilization can reflect the traffic volume of the cell to some extent. The relevant counters are Mean Number of Available PDCHs, Mean Number of Occupied PDCHs, and Mean occupied Duration of All Available PDCHs( s ). If the cell is configured with static channels, in normal conditions, the Mean Number of Available PDCHs should be equal to or greater than the number of static channels configured in the cell. Otherwise, the cell status is faulty in the statistic period.

Resource Utilization
If all the channels configured in the cell are dynamic channels, you can determine whether there is any request for the dynamic channel through the two counters: Mean Number of Available PDCHs and Mean Number of Occupied PDCHs. According to the Mean Number of Occupied PDCHs, you can determine whether the PS services in the cell are busy or idle. Then you can adjust the channel configuration according to the cell status. The idle cell shall be configured with more dynamic channels and the busy cell can be configured with more static channels.

Resource Utilization
The channel utilization rate considers the block utilization rate on the PDCH both when the PCU is busy and when it is idle. Thus if the channel utilization rate is low, the possible cause is that there is no PS service in the cell or the traffic volume of the PS services is small. The uplink/downlink PDTCH/PACCH channel utilization can to some extent reflect the traffic volume of the PS services in the current cell. The relevant counters are as follows: Cell Mean PDCH Bearer Rate (%) Uplink PDTCH/PACCH Utilization Rate (%) Downlink PDTCH/PACCH Utilization Rate (%)

Call Drop Analysis


Determine whether the high TBF call drop rate is common for the entire BSC or appears only in some sites or cells. If it appears only in some cells, check and troubleshoot the equipment based on the traffic measurement results. Check the equipment, including the BTS and PCU hardware. Then troubleshoot the transmission links, including the Um interface links, TRAU links, and Pb interface links. The equipment and transmission problems always cause alarms, which can be used for reference. The two counters Number of uplink/downlink TBF abnormal release due to no channel in the same statistic period can show that the TBF call drop is caused by the preemption of the PS resources by the CS services.

Call Drop Analysis


Number of uplink/downlink TBF abnormal release due to SUSPEND shows the impact of the CS services on the PS services, for example, a call or location updating is initiated when the PS services are performed. If cell reselection is initiated when the PS services are performed, the TBF is abnormally released. According to Number of uplink/downlink TBF abnormal release due to FLUSH, together with Number of Times a Cell Is Selected by MS, Number of Cell Reselections by MS at Short Interval, and Number of Cell Ping-Pong Reselections by MS, check whether the ping-pong reselections occur.

Call Drop Analysis


Pay attention to the following condition: the values of Number of uplink/downlink TBF abnormal release due to no channel are high, but the value of Number of Preempted PDCHs Carrying Packet Traffic is 0. This indicates that the abnormal release is not caused by CS preemption. Check whether there are channels or cells blocked in the statistic period. If no channels or cells are blocked, check whether the transmission resources of each interface incur faults or intermittent faults. If the transmission is normal, check the GPRS/EDGE TRXs. Locate the implicit faults of TRXs through replacement or other methods.

Optimization of Call Drop


In many networks, the GPRS/EDGE and the GSM share radio resources. If the number of N3101, N3103, and N3105 overflows on the Um interface is too high, some GSM counters can be used to troubleshoot the GPRS network. The Interference Band Measurement and the cell frequency scan of the GSM network can be used to locate the uplink interference. The TCHF/TCHH Receive Level Measurement of the GSM network is used to measure the MRs received in a statistic period with different receive levels and receive quality ranks. The measurement results indicate the distribution of uplink/downlink receive level and receive quality by ranks.

Cell reselection is of key importance to the GPRS network performance. There are relevant counters monitoring ping-pong reselection and network-controlled cell reselection (NC2) Number of Cell Reselections by MS at Short Interval: This counter is used to measure the total number of times that the duration between the MS switches into and out of the cell is less than the specified time (20 seconds by default). Number of Cell Ping-Pong Reselections by MS: This counter is used to measure the number of times that the MS switches from cell A to cell B and then switches back to cell A at the predefined interval (20 seconds by default).

Other Often-used Items


Number of Network Controlled Cell Reselection Attempts due to Downlink Quality: This counter is used to measure the number of cell reselections controlled by the network in a statistic period. These cell reselections are caused by the deteriorating quality of downlink transmission. Number of Network Controlled Cell Reselection Attempts due to Traffic Load: This counter is used to measure the number of cell reselections in a statistic period. The information about cell reselections is sent because the cell is overloaded. Number of Network Controlled Cell Reselection Attempts for Better Cell: This counter is used to measure the number of cell reselections in a statistic period. The information about cell reselections is sent because of higher signal level in neighbor cells.

Summary
During the early stage of GPRS traffic measurement, pay attention to the call drop rate and congestion rate. During the late stage of GPRS traffic measurement, pay attention to the resource utilization. The GPRS and GSM share radio resources. Sometimes the GSM traffic measurement can be used to locate the GPRS problems. For the GPRS network, analyze the PCU-level counters first, and then the cell-level counters.
