Indicator definitionTCH call drop rate (excl. HO)
TCH call drop rate (excl. HO) = total of TCH call drops/total of TCH occupancy times (excl. HO) ×100%
TCH call drop rate (incl. HO)TCH call drop rate (incl. HO)=total of TCH call
drops/total of TCH occupancy times (incl. HO)×100%
Traffic call drop rateIndicator definition: traffic volume/number of
TCH call drops*60

Call drop due to radio link failure Causes for call drop due to radio link failure & handling
procedures
Weak coverage, poor radio signal; Interference;Unreasonable settings of radio
parameter; Incomplete or wrong adjacent cell
data ;Unreasonable settings of handover
parameters;Congestion in adjacent cell;Equipment hardware fault;Antenna system fault;Subscriber’s fault.
Main causes
Check radio parameters. Adjust
unreasonable settings of radio
parameters;
Check indicators like BER and level of
idle interference band, reduce or
eliminate radio interference ;
Check if coverage problem exists
through DT;
Check and eliminate equipment fault ;
Check antenna system.

Call drop due to handover failure Main causes for call drop due to handover failure & handling procedures
Interference;
Hardware fault;
Unreasonable settings of radio
parameters ;
Inappropriate adjacent cell
relation or wrong adjacent cell
data;
Unreasonable settings of
handover parameters ,which
results in Ping-Pong handover.
Main causes
Check radio parameters, adjust the
unreasonable settings, and add
necessary neighbor relations;
Check indicators like BER and level
of idle interference band, reduce or
eliminate radio interference;
Check equipment hardware,
change panels with problems.

Call drop due to LAPD link failure
Call drop due to LAPD link failurePrinciple:
When LAPD link breaks, calls on carriers will be interrupted. BSC
counts after it receives message showing that LAPD link is
broken. Main causes for call drop due to LAPD link failure & handling
procedures
BTS hardware fault
BTS transmission
problem
BSC hardware fault
Main causes
Investigate & eliminate BTS hardware fault;
