Classification of Call Drops Based on KPIs
 RNCs collect statistics by type based on different causes of call drops, which facilitates identification of dropped
call types and problem locating.

 The causes of call drops can be divided into radio frequency (RF) causes and non-RF causes. For the practice of
commercial networks, RF causes are the main causes of call drops and the key point of optimization. call drops
resulting from non-RF causes account for a small percentage (less than 5%).

 The following table lists related information about CS call drops.

Classification of Call Drops Based on KPIs
 The RNC performs statistics based on channels carrying PS services, which helps identify
call drop types and locate call drop causes.
 According to the channel types, there are two channels: DCH and CCH. For details, see
the following table.

DCH VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS - VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS.CCH- VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS.D2P

CCH VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS.CCH - VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS.PCH- VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS.F2P

 PS call drops on the DCH may be caused by incremental HSPA call drops. Related
counters are as follows: VS.HSDPA.RAB.AbnormRel and VS.HSUPA.RAB.AbnormRel

 Identifying Call Drop Causes Based on CHRs
 You can determine an increase in the call drop rate based on the percentages of various types of call drops,
and perform troubleshooting based on different causes of call drops. For details about the causes of call
drops, see Classification of Call Drop Causes Based on CHRs.
