Drop Call Breakdown Observation
Drop Call Breakdown observation collects statistics on the dropped calls. After ASSIGNMENT_COMPLETE until channel will be released
The focus of the observation can be either the breakdown of counter DROP AFTER TCHASSIGN or the breakdown of counter CLEAR REQUEST SENT BY BSC ON TCH.

Drop Call Breakdown Observation - Example
Phase out:
BSC internal phase value of the call release (the phase of the call where the drop occurred). SeeCallRelated DX Causes in BSC.
Phase out
15 = Conversation,
2 = MM signaling
Cause out
BSC internal cause value of the call release (the drop cause). See Call Related DX Causes in BSC.
Cause out 317 = conn_fail_rad_link_fail_c
The Abis interface receives a CONNECTION FAILURE message and its cause is radio linkfailure.

How to activate tables?These can be activated at BSC level or can be activated at NetAct level.If they are part of optional feature, the feature needs to be present on the PRFILE ofeach BSC. The parameter related to the feature needs to be activated.
Start date and End date needs to be defined.
Start time and End time of each day of the week needs to be defined
Period needs to be defined
Set parameter in PR_FILE (WOC):
ZWOC:10,65,FF;

Measurement reporting interval to each measurement can be
unique. 15min, 30min, 1hour etc
During optimization these different measurement reportingintervals should be verified to support need of optimizationactivities.
Note!Any changes to measurement interval should beagreed with OSS administrator to avoid any overload situationin OSS.

How to check that all data is available in OSS
Can be checked running Reporting Suite reports Some KPIs are using several tables, so if all data is not available,
results might be strange.
If you want to check all data, all tables should be run (troublesome)
Can be checked with SQL (Optional) Can be seen, that there are some data
Difficult to see if hourly data in some counter is missing

Benchmarking KPIsDifferent KPIs
Which KPIs to use for optimizing?
Benchmarking KPIs recommended for reporting Standard list of KPI that in the world wide experience of all projects
CDR, HO, Quality etc
Optimization KPIs can be used for deeper performanceanalysis / monitoring Almost all KPIs can be used for optimization (SW release specific)
KPIs used depends on the use case (for example drops)
Drops after TCH seized (dcr_3j) Drops after TCH assigned(dcr_8h) Drops after TCH conversation started(dcr_5a)
KPIs used depends on the available tool

Benchmarking KPIs, CSTCH Call Blocking,blck_8i
This formula counts the impact of lacking TCH resources on
call setup after the SDCCH phase.
Soft blocking increases the value. TCH_REQUESTS_CALL_ATTEMPT updating corrected in unsuccessful FACCH
call setup due to lack of resources. Counter will be updated both in successful andunsuccessful FACCH call setup.
Parts which are not visible to end user are excluded Directed retry (DR)

Benchmarking KPIs, PSAverage effective ACK GPRS DL throughput per used TSL ,trf_235b
Indicates the impact of radio link quality on net data rate per
used timeslot considering retransmissions and coding schemeselection
The lower the value the poorer the radio link quality causingretransmissions and use of lower coding schemes.
