Important Notice on Product Safety


Elevated voltages are inevitably present at specific points in this electrical equipment. Some of the parts may also have elevated operating temperatures. Non-observance of these conditions and the safety instructions can result in personal injury or in property damage. Therefore, only trained and qualified personnel may install and maintain the system. The system complies with the standard EN 60950 / IEC 60950. All equipment connected has to comply with the applicable safety standards.

The same text in German: Wichtiger Hinweis zur Produktsicherheit In elektrischen Anlagen stehen zwangslufig bestimmte Teile der Gerte unter Spannung. Einige Teile knnen auch eine hohe Betriebstemperatur aufweisen. Eine Nichtbeachtung dieser Situation und der Warnungshinweise kann zu Krperverletzungen und Sachschden fhren. Deshalb wird vorausgesetzt, dass nur geschultes und qualifiziertes Personal die Anlagen installiert und wartet. Das System entspricht den Anforderungen der EN 60950 / IEC 60950. Angeschlossene Gerte mssen die zutreffenden Sicherheitsbestimmungen erfllen.

1 Performance Measurement Message Flows


1.1 Introduction
The following sections show the SBS specific message flows of call- and signallingtransactions on the interfaces Um, Abis and A.

Note: The message flows have to be considered as typical examples for the affected signaling transactions. Depending on specific settings in the involved network elements (MSC, BSC), flow traces taken from real live networks can deviate from the shown message flows (especially for the optional sub-procedures Authentication, Ciphering, Early Classmark Sending and TMSI Reallocation). The messages between the network elements (MS, BTS, BSC and MSC) are abbreviated in the same way as the most common protocol analyzers (e.g. K1103, K1205, MA10 etc.) do. For the mapping of the used abbreviations to the complete message names defined by GSM and the Siemens Abis specifications please refer to Chapter 2 Abbreviations. In addition to the messages, the implemented SBS performance measurement counters are embedded into the message flows in such a way that the association of the counters to their triggering events becomes clear. As a general rule, the appearance of a counter within a message flow means that its value is increased by 1. Deviations from this rule are explicitely mentioned in the message flows. To indicate also the subcounters of the specific measurements the following method is used: <measurement name>(<subcounter no.>.). Example: ATINHIRC (2.) means that the second subcounter of the measurement ATINHIRC (downlink quality) is increased by the marked event.

Note: If not otherwise defined the blue colour generally indicates the events on the handover target resources. In 1.2.10.2 the blue colour indicates the events related to the second (high priority) call. In 1.2.10.5 the blue colour indicates the events related to the high priority call In 1.2.10.7, 1.2.10.8 and 1.2.10.9 the blue colour indicates the events related to preemting call. In 1.2.5.6 the red colour indicates the BSC serving the first (really external) target cell in the target cell list of the HANDOVER REQUIRED message.

TTRAU is stopped when the BTS receives the (idle) TRAU frames from the TRAU. This happens when the BSC throughconnects the Asub-TCH to the Abis-TCH. In case of TCH Assignment this is done on transmission of the ASSIGNMENT COMMAND. In case of direct TCH assignment the timer T10 is not used. Two not-administrable system internal timers are used, one for the control of the MOMRQ procedure, one for the control of the CHMM procedure. In case of expiry of one of these timers, the BSC sends an ASS FAI with cause equipment failure to the MSC.

(*)

In case of MSC-controlled handover the MSC cyclically attempts the HANDOVER REQUEST procedure towards all target cells previously received in the HANDOVER REQUIRED message from the originating BSC. For the first cycle, the SIEMENS MSC generally sets the queuing allowed indicator to not allowed. If in this first cycle the request for radio resoucres fails for all target cells, the SIEMENS MSC repeats the cycle again, this time, however, with the queuing allowed indicator set to allowed. This is done to avoid an unnecessary delay in the handover execution and in order to use the queuing mechanism as the very last measure to rescue a call.
