The scenario for User inactivity: If a user with PS service has no data transmission after a certain timer expires (this timer is set by RNC), RNC can send signaling IU RELEASE REQUEST to CN to release the service. This is not considered as call drop. The scenario for UE generated signaling connection release Some type of UE can release signaling connection automatically be sending signaling SIGNALLING CONNECTION RELEASE INDICATION to RNC, then RNC will send signaling IU RELEASE REQUEST to CN to release the service. This is not considered as call drop neither.

If the call drop ratio is high, we need to find the reason. Some counters can indicate the reason of call drop.

Normally RF (radio frequency) problem is the main reason of call drop in real network such as bad coverage or handover failure.

VS.RAB.AbnormRel.CS.IuAAL2

Number of CS RABs Abnormally Released for Cell Due to Iu Interface AAL2 Link Failure

This counter is triggered when RNC finds the AAL2 path is abnormal. Maybe it is the problem of Iu-CS transmission.
Number of CS RABs Abnormally Released Due to RF for Cell Some RF problems will trigger this counter such as bad coverage, handover failure, interference and etc. Normally RF problem is the main reason of call drop in real network. Number of CS RAB Release Requests for Cell Due to O&M Intervention If RAB is release by O&M intervention (For example RAB is released by MML command), this counter will be triggered. Normally this is not the main reason of call drop in real network. Number of CS RAB Release Attempts for Cell Due to RAB Preemption During access control procedure if system resource is limited and preemption function is enabled, a user with higher priority can preempt a user with lower priority. Then this counter will be triggered. Number of CS RAB Abnormal Releases Triggered by RNC for Cell Due to UTRAN Cause If RAB is released because of UTRAN problem, this counter will be triggered. If this counter has high value, more detailed information need to be collected and analyzed. Number of CS Domain RABs Released Due to Congestion for Cell If the system load is very high and overNo load control function isPermission enabled, RNC can Confidential Information of Huawei. Spreading Without release some RAB to reduce the load. Then this counter will be triggered.

Normally RF problem is the main reason of call drop. More sub counters can be used to analyze the detailed RF reason of call drop. To find the exact reason maybe more detailed information such as drive test result and signaling trace result need to be collected. VS.RAB.AbnormRel.CS.RF.ULSync If NodeB loses the UL synchronization of the UE during service, the RAB will be released and this counter will be triggered. Bad coverage or missing neighboring cell configuration can triggered this counter. VS.RAB.AbnormRel.CS.RF.UuNoReply If UE can not respond to the signaling from RNC during service, the RAB will be release and this counter will be triggered. Bad coverage can trigger this counter. VS.RAB.AbnormRel.CS.RF.SRBReset If RNC sends signaling to UE repeat but UE can not send a ACK response, RNC will reset RLC layer. Then call drop will happen and this counter will be triggered. Bad coverage or interference can trigger this counter.
