(TCH seizure failures for call [2126] - TCH seizure failures for call (no radio resource [2120] +SDCCH call drop [2070])/ Successful immediate assignments [2186] TCH seizure failures for call [2126]: Description: BSS might fail to implement the assignment procedure due to some reason after receiving ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message from MSC. Measurement point: if BSS fails to respond to ASSIGNMENT COMPLETE message to MSC due to some reason after receiving ASSIGNMENT REQUEST message, this item is measured and BSS responds ASSIGNMENT FAILURE message to MSC simultaneously. Figure 15 (in Part A) Assignment implementation process indicates the measurement point. Successful immediate assignments [2186]: Description: In the immediate assignment procedure, after successfully seizing a channel (SDCCH or TCH) allocated by BSC for transferring signaling, MS reports a SABM frame on this channel to BTS, indicating the establishment of a radio link layer connection in the multi-frame mode. BTS returns a UA frame to MS, and sends an ESTABLISH INDICATION message to BSC, notifying it to establish a normal Um interface connection. Measurement point: This item is measured when BSC receives an ESTABLISH INDICATION message from BTS in the immediate assignment procedure.

Full Rate Traffic

Huawei Traffic Statis. Item : TCHF traffic volume (excluding very early assignment) [23302] Description: This item provides the traffic volume on Full rate TCHs (excluding those seized in very early assignment procedure), i.e. the ratio of the duration of MS seizing Full rate TCH to measurement period. The duration of MS seizing Full rate TCH is obtained by multiplying the number of MRs reported by MS on Full rate TCH with 0.48 seconds (period for reporting MRs).
