BSS Counter Collection Mechanism


Cumulative
The counter is incremented at the occurrence of a specific event. Abis or A message, or internal event. At the end of a collection period, the result is the sum of the events.

Inspection
Every 20 or 10 seconds, a task quantifies an internal resource status (usually a table). At the end of a collection period, the result is the mean value.

Observation
Set of recorded information about a telecom procedure (handover, channel release, UL & DL measurements reporting).

Radio Measurement Statistics


Aggregation of all "Measurement Results" for a day and a TRX/Cell.

A standard PM type can be activated for the whole network. It means that the related counters are reported for all the Network Elements they are implemented on (TRX, CELL, N7 link, X25 link, LAPD link, Adjacency). A detailed PM type can be activated only on a sub-set of the network. It means that the related counters are reported only for a limited number of Network Elements: 40 cells per BSS for PM types 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 26, 29 15 cells per BSS for PM types 10, 12, 13, 14, 15 1 cell per BSS for PM types 11, 27 Counter numbering rules: Cyz: cumulative or inspection counters in PM types 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 18, 19, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 180 Ly.z: cumulative counters in PM type 7 (L stands for LAPD link) Xy.z: cumulative counters in PM type 8 (X stands for X25 link) Ny.z: cumulative counters in PM type 9 (N stands for N7 link) Syz: observation counters in PM type 10 (S stands for SDCCH) Ryz:: observation counters in PM type 11 (R stands for Radio measurements) HOyz: observation counters in PM type 12, 13, 14 (HO stands for HandOver) Tyz: observation counters in PM type 15 (T stands for TCH) RMSyz: cumulative counters in PM type 31 (RMS stands for Radio Measurement Statistics) MCyz or MNy.z: cumulative counters in PM type 110 (M stands for Major)
