In
Telecommunication
ERLANG
The amount of traffic is expressed in ERALNG, which is the magnitude of the telecom traffic.
INTERFERENCE
The dilemma of frequency planning is provide the needed capacity/coverage within a limited band. The frequency channels therefore need to be re used but it is wise not to increase the interference level. Interference is cause when two network cells use the same channel too close to each other.
Inference can be-
Internal interference: with same network
External Interference: with other network
Other interference: with other devices
RADIO ACCESS NETWORK QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND GUIDELINES
ACCESSIBILITY
Service accessibility is: The ability of a service to be obtained, requested by the user.
Listed below are the KPIs connected to accessibility.
PAGING SUCCESS RATE
The paging success rate measures the percentage of how many paging attempts that have been answered, either as a result of the first or the second repeated page.
Possible reasons for poor paging performance could be:
Paging congestion in MSC, BSC and MSC/MSS
Poor paging strategy
Poor parameter setting
Poor coverage or High interference
SDCCH ACCESS SUCCESS RATE
SDCCH Access success rate is a percentage of all SDCCH accesses received in the BSC.
Possible reasons for poor SDCCH access performance could be
Too high timing advance( MHT)
Access burst from another co-channel, co-BSIC Cell
Congestion
False accesses due to high noise floor
Unknown access cause code
SDCCH DROP RATE
The SDCCH drop rate statistic compares the total number of RF losses(While using an SDCCH), as a percentage of the total number of call attempts for SDCCH channels.
Possible reasons for SDCCH Drop rate could be
Low signal strength on downlink or uplink
Poor quality on downlink or uplink
Too high timing advance
Congestion on TCH
CALL SETUP SUCCESS RATE(CSSR)
The call setup success rate measures successful TCH assignments of total number of TCH assignment attempts.
* CR is congestion rate
*ASR is assignment success rate
Reason for low call setup success rate (CSSR)
TCH Congestion
Interference or poor coverage
CALL SETUP TCH CONGESTION RATE
The call setup TCH congestion rate statistic provides the percentage of attempts to allocate a TCH call setup that was blocked in a cell.
Possible reasons for call setup Block could be
Increasing Traffic demand
Bad dimensioning
High Antenna Position
High Mean Holding Time (MHT)
Low Handover Activity
Congestion in surrounding cell
RETAINABILITY
The service retains ability is “ The ability of a service, once obtained, to continue to be provided under given conditions for a requested durations.
Listed below are the KPIs connected to retain the ability.
CALL DROP RATE (CDR)
This KPI gives the rate of drop call. Percent of TCH dropped after TCH assignment complete.
DR is directed retry (paging from HLR to MS)
AS is assignment success
CDR
Possible reason for Call Drop Rate Low signal strength on uplink or downlink
Lack of best server
Congestion on neighboring cells
Battery flaws
Poor quality on downlink or uplink
Too high timing advance
Antenna problems
Low BTS output power
Missing neighboring cell definitions
Unsuccessful outgoing and/or incoming handover
HOSR (HANDOVER SUCCESS RATE)
The handover success rate shows the percentage of successful handover of all handover attempts. A handover attempts is when a handover command is sent to the mobile.
Possible reasons for the poor handover success rate could be-
Congestion
Link connection
Bad antenna installation
The MS measures signal strength of another co-or adjacent cell than presumed
Incorrect handover relations
HOSR
Incorrect locating parameter settings
Bad radio coverage
High interference, co-channel or adjacent
There are two type of HOSR Failure
1. Incoming Handover Failure- Incoming hand over failure observed. There is problem at main site.
2. Outgoing Handover Failure- Outgoing handover calls failure, means there are problem with the neighboring cells.
