Objectives
GPRS traffic measurement indicates the basic performance of the GPRS. Each traffic measurement item indicates the features of the network. Traffic measurement helps to quickly handle the network problems. A complete performance measurement system is provided for the network performance analysis, network optimization, and fault location of the GPRS network.

If the traffic volume of PS services is high, the queue is long and the assignment message delay is long, leading to TBF establishment failure.
If the traffic volume of PS services and the duration exceed the adjustment capability of optimization, capacity expansion is recommended.

Resource Utilization
Through the measurement of PDCH seizure, you can obtain the information about the preemption of the PS resources by the CS services. The counters that reflect the preemption of the CS services to the PS services are Number of Dynamic PDCHs Reclaimed by BSC and Number of Successful Conversions from TCH to PDTCH.

Resource Utilization
The PDCH utilization can reflect the traffic volume of the cell to some extent. The relevant counters are Mean Number of Available PDCHs, Mean Number of Occupied PDCHs, and Mean occupied Duration of All Available PDCHs( s ). If the cell is configured with static channels, in normal conditions, the Mean Number of Available PDCHs should be equal to or greater than the number of static channels configured in the cell. Otherwise, the cell status is faulty in the statistic period.

Resource Utilization
If all the channels configured in the cell are dynamic channels, you can determine whether there is any request for the dynamic channel through the two counters: Mean Number of Available PDCHs and Mean Number of Occupied PDCHs. According to the Mean Number of Occupied PDCHs, you can determine whether the PS services in the cell are busy or idle. Then you can adjust the channel configuration according to the cell status. The idle cell shall be configured with more dynamic channels and the busy cell can be configured with more static channels.

Resource Utilization
The channel utilization rate considers the block utilization rate on the PDCH both when the PCU is busy and when it is idle. Thus if the channel utilization rate is low, the possible cause is that there is no PS service in the cell or the traffic volume of the PS services is small. The uplink/downlink PDTCH/PACCH channel utilization can to some extent reflect the traffic volume of the PS services in the current cell. The relevant counters are as follows: Cell Mean PDCH Bearer Rate (%) Uplink PDTCH/PACCH Utilization Rate (%) Downlink PDTCH/PACCH Utilization Rate (%)

Summary
During the early stage of GPRS traffic measurement, pay attention to the call drop rate and congestion rate. During the late stage of GPRS traffic measurement, pay attention to the resource utilization. The GPRS and GSM share radio resources. Sometimes the GSM traffic measurement can be used to locate the GPRS problems. For the GPRS network, analyze the PCU-level counters first, and then the cell-level counters.
