GPRS Traffic Statistics Introduction

GPRS performance measurement involves the CPU performance, Um
interface performance, Pb interface performance, and PCU overall
performance. The GPRS performance measurement provides data
support for the GPRS performance familiarity, GPRS optimization, and
fault location.
GPRS counters can be categorized into:
Service model establishment
Network performance optimization
Troubleshooting

Same as the BSS traffic measurement, the GPRS traffic measurement is also a layer-3
traffic measurement model: statistics functional type -> measurement type -> counter

Course Name P-5
There are 7 kinds of measure type :
BSC Overall Performance Measurement
BSSGP Performance Measurement
CPU Performance Measurement
G-Abis Interface Performance Measurement
NS Performance Measurement
Pb Interface Performance Measurement
Cell Performance Measurement

Course Name P-6
The BSC overall performance analysis include:

Traffic load model: Number of Uplink TBF Establishment Attempts and
Number of Downlink TBF Establishment Attempts;
GPRS output: Total Number of Uplink LLC_PDUs Sent, Total Bytes of
Uplink LLC_PDUs Sent, Total Number of Downlink LLC_PDUs
Received and Total Bytes of Downlink LLC_PDUs Received;
Paging load: Number of Circuit Paging Requests Sent and Number of
Packet Paging Requests Sent;
Packet channel resource: Mean Number of Available PDCHs and Mean
Number of Occupied PDCHs.

Page6
The results of the measurement are used to analyze the traffic load of GPRS
BSS. By observing a daily or weekly trend of the results, the information may be
used to determine the traffic load model for engineering design and network
planning.

Course Name P-7
The BSC overall performance analysis is to check the overall running

state of the BSS. The results of the measurement are used to Analyze
the QoS of GPRS BSS.
If the measurement result exceeds the reference range, the radio
environment, network parameter configuration, network resource
configuration and network equipment should be optimized, such as
Number of Successful Uplink TBF Establishment, Number of
Successful Downlink TBF Establishment, Number of Uplink TBF
Normal Release and Number of Downlink TBF Normal Release.

BSC Overall Performance Analysis

For BSC overall analysis, mostly focus on call drop rate.
If cell reselection is performed during transmission, call drop will

occurs. However, the TBF transmission time is short , the impact
on services is relatively small.
If the call drop rate is high, need to check the traffic of cells in the
suspicious period of time and find the cells with extremely high call
drop rate. For details, refer to the check of the retain ability KPIs of
cells.

Page14
In the current GPRS network, mostly the MS reselects a cell totally by itself. If cell reselection is
performed during transmission, call drop will occurs. However, the TBF transmission time is short
(2 to 3 seconds), the impact on services is relatively small although the call drop rate in the GPRS
system is higher than that in the CS system.
If the call drop rate is high, need to check the traffi of cells in the suspicious period of time and find
the cells with extremely high call drop rate. Locate the faults (the common case is faulty cell
channel status and network optimization problems) and rectify them. For details, refer to the
check of the retain ability KPIs of cells.

Course Name P-15
Cell-level Performance Analysis
In the cell-level performance analysis, the KPIs of the following four

aspects should be checked:
Transmission performance
Access performance
Resource utilization
Retain ability

Course Name P-16
Transmission Performance Analysis

The transmission path between the MS and the GPRS core
network is called the transmission link of the cell. It includes the
Um interface, G-Abis interface, Pb interface, and Gb interface.
Um interface analysis
Abnormality rate of N3101, N3103, and N3105 (talked together
with call drop later)
Retransmission rate of RLC uplink and downlink data block and
the number of CS upgrade and demolition
G-Abis interface analysis
The TRAU Link Measurement in the G-Abis Interface
Performance Measurement is a cell-level measurement unit
used for analysis of transmission quality on the link layer.

Page16

Course Name P-17
Retransmission and CS upgrade

For the GPRS network, if the retransmission rate is too high, the setting of
the initial coding scheme may be inappropriate. The retransmission rate
can be excessively high if a high rate is adopted for data transmission.
Another possibility is that the setting of the coding rate adjustment
threshold in the CSPARA parameter table is inappropriate, and thus the
MS and the network cannot use the optimal coding scheme for
transmission.
For the EDGE network, check the setting of the initial coding scheme (the
rate adjustment threshold for the EDGE network is fixed).
If the data configuration is correct, you need to check whether there is
interference on the Um interface.

Page17

Course Name P-18
G-Abis Interface Analysis

TRAU Link Measurement includes three important counters:
Number of Out-of-Synchronization Frames Received, Number of
Check Error Frames Received, and Number of Normal Burst frames
Received. The check error frames are the transmission link check
error after channel synchronization. They directly indicate the link
quality.

Pb Interface Link Analysis

The Pb interface is the signaling interface between the PCU and the BSC.
As a semi-dependent device, the PCU can connect multiple BSCs. The
communication between the PCU and the BSC is realized through
transmission devices or even long distance transmission devices.
The LAPD traffic measurement data indicates the transmission quality of
the Pb interface and the basic conditions of high-layer data.

Assignment Success Rate Analysis

Due to the speech service preferred and the data service features, the
assignment success rate of the GPRS network is usually higher than that
of the GSM network.
If the assignment success rate is low, you need to check the traffic
measurement data of cells in the suspicious period of time. Usually, you
can find the cells with extremely high congestion rate. Locate the faults
and rectify them. For details, refer to the check of the radio access KPIs
of cells.

Page29

Course Name P-30
Access Performance no channel available
Check the counter Number of uplink/downlink TBF establishment failures

due to no channel. If the congestion rate is high because of these two
counters, the possible causes are as follows:
The user manually blocks the channel or cell, leading to MS access

difficulties. Check the Number of BSC-originated channel blocking,
Number of BSC-originated cell blocking, and Number of Gb-originated
cell blocking in the Resource Maintenance Capability Measurement to
determine whether channels are blocked in the statistic period.

Page30

Course Name P-31
Access Performance no channel available

If no channels are blocked, the number of multiplexed packet channels
and MSs may reach the maximum value, leading to MS access
difficulties. Adjust MaxUlHighLd/MaxDlHighLd of the pdchpara table on
the PCU maintenance terminal to allow the cell to carry more PS
services.
If you only adjust the maximum number of multiplexed MSs on the

channel, the transmission rate of the MS is affected. If the cell does not
have static PDCHs, configure a static PDCH. If the cell has static
PDCHs, add more dynamic PDCHs.

Page31

Course Name P-32
Access Performance --no channel available

When wide coverage is available, one RPPU[Pb] of the PCU may be
configured with more than 120 cells, When the PS services on the board
is busy, if the cell is configured with only dynamic channels the cell may
be congested because of insufficient channels.
CCCH random access collision may affect the success rate of CCCH
uplink assignment. Analyze the cause together with the Mean Interval of
Packet Access Requests on CCCH (s).
PDCH out-of-synchronization may also lead to insufficient PS resources

and assignment failure. If the PDCH out-of-synchronization alarm is
reported, check whether the links between the PCU and the BSC and
between the BTS and the BSC are normal.

Page32
maximum number of activated PDCHs supported by one RPPU[Pb] is 120, and 100 for
EDGE.

Course Name P-33
Access Performance MS no response

The counter Number of Uplink/Downlink TBF Establishment Failures due
to MS No Response are the main cause of the low Assignment success
rate.
The quality of the transmission links of the cell is poor and the block
BER is high.
You can adjust the GPRS network parameters, such as T3168, to improve
the success rate of TBF access.
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.

Page33

Course Name P-34
Resource Utilization
Resource utilization KPIs are used to analyze the PDCH data to check
whether the system is overloaded.
The PDCH is of two types: dynamic PDCH and static PDCH. One RPPU
of the PCU supports a maximum of 120 available PDCHs (if upgraded to
EDGE, the maximum number of available PDCHs decreases).

Page34

Course Name P-35
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.
B
Pre - Empted DynamicPDCH CarryingPacket Traffic ReclaimedSuccess Rate = 100%
A
A Number of Dynamic PDCHs Reclaimed by BSC
B Number of Preempted PDCHs Carrying Packet Traffic

Page35

Course Name P-36
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.

Page36

Course Name P-37
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.

Page37

Course Name P-38
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 (%)

Course Name P-42
Abnormal Release Analysis

Poor transmission quality of the Um interface leads to the abnormal
release of the TBF and the increase of the TBF call drop rate.
The counter Number of Uplink TBF Abnormal Release due to N3101

Overflow (Ms No Response) and the counter Number of Uplink TBF
Abnormal Release due to N3103 Overflow (Ms No Response) of the
Uplink TBF Establishment/Release Measurement refer to the number
of abnormal releases due to the poor quality of the Um interface. If the
values of the two counters are high, you need to check the quality of
the links on the Um interface.

Page42

Course Name P-43
Abnormal Release Analysis

The counter Number of Downlink TBF Abnormal Release due to N3105
Overflow of Downlink TBF Establishment/Release Measurement refers
to the number of abnormal releases due to the poor quality of the links
on the Um interface. A high number of overflows indicates poor quality
of the downlink.
Similar to the counters related to the GPRS TBF, the counters related
to the EGPRS TBF are used to measure the abnormal TBF releases
due to N3101, N3103, and N3105 overflows.

Page43

Course Name P-44
Abnormal Release Due to N3101

This statistics item is used to measure the number of uplink TBF
abnormal releases due to overflow of the uplink monitoring counter
N3101.
Network schedule every uplink data block resource by allocating valid

USF for every MS which has accessed into the network, and attach the
USF information in every downlink block. N3101 will be increased by 1
every time no uplink data block is received on corresponding frame,
otherwise N3101 will be reset. The TBF will be released by network if
N3101 reaches the threshold.

Call Drop Analysis

Determine whether the high TBF call drop rate is common for the entire
BSC or appears only in some sites or cells. If it appears only in some
cells, check and troubleshoot the equipment based on the traffic
measurement results.
Check the equipment, including the BTS and PCU hardware. Then
troubleshoot the transmission links, including the Um interface links,
TRAU links, and Pb interface links. The equipment and transmission
problems always cause alarms, which can be used for reference.
The two counters Number of uplink/downlink TBF abnormal release
due to no channel in the same statistic period can show that the TBF
call drop is caused by the preemption of the PS resources by the CS
services.

Page50

Course Name P-51
Call Drop Analysis

Number of uplink/downlink TBF abnormal release due to SUSPEND
shows the impact of the CS services on the PS services, for example, a
call or location updating is initiated when the PS services are performed.
If cell reselection is initiated when the PS services are performed, the

TBF is abnormally released. According to Number of uplink/downlink
TBF abnormal release due to FLUSH, together with Number of Times a
Cell Is Selected by MS, Number of Cell Reselections by MS at Short
Interval, and Number of Cell Ping-Pong Reselections by MS, check
whether the ping-pong reselections occur.

Page51

Course Name P-52
Call Drop Analysis

Pay attention to the following condition: the values of Number of
uplink/downlink TBF abnormal release due to no channel are high, but the
value of Number of Preempted PDCHs Carrying Packet Traffic is 0. This
indicates that the abnormal release is not caused by CS preemption.
Check whether there are channels or cells blocked in the statistic period.
If no channels or cells are blocked, check whether the transmission

resources of each interface incur faults or intermittent faults.
If the transmission is normal, check the GPRS/EDGE TRXs. Locate the

implicit faults of TRXs through replacement or other methods.

Page52

Course Name P-53
Optimization of Call Drop

In many networks, the GPRS/EDGE and the GSM share radio resources.
If the number of N3101, N3103, and N3105 overflows on the Um interface
is too high, some GSM counters can be used to troubleshoot the GPRS
network.
The Interference Band Measurement and the cell frequency scan of the
GSM network can be used to locate the uplink interference.
The TCHF/TCHH Receive Level Measurement of the GSM network is

used to measure the MRs received in a statistic period with different
receive levels and receive quality ranks. The measurement results
indicate the distribution of uplink/downlink receive level and receive quality
by ranks.

used to measure the number of EGPRS PACKET DOWNLINK
ACK/NACK messages carrying EGPRS BEP Link Quality
Measurements with 8PSK_MEAN_BEP = 1 to 31 received by BSS.
The items can be used to reveal the traffic load of the cell and thus
help to create the traffic model.

Cell reselection is of key importance to the GPRS network performance.
There are relevant counters monitoring ping-pong reselection and
network-controlled cell reselection (NC2)
Number of Cell Reselections by MS at Short Interval: This counter is

used to measure the total number of times that the duration between
the MS switches into and out of the cell is less than the specified
time (20 seconds by default).
Number of Cell Ping-Pong Reselections by MS: This counter is used

to measure the number of times that the MS switches from cell A to
cell B and then switches back to cell A at the predefined interval (20
seconds by default).

Page56

Course Name P-57

Number of Network Controlled Cell Reselection Attempts due to Downlink
Quality: This counter is used to measure the number of cell reselections
controlled by the network in a statistic period. These cell reselections are
caused by the deteriorating quality of downlink transmission.
Number of Network Controlled Cell Reselection Attempts due to Traffic Load:

This counter is used to measure the number of cell reselections in a statistic
period. The information about cell reselections is sent because the cell is
overloaded.
Number of Network Controlled Cell Reselection Attempts for Better Cell: This
counter is used to measure the number of cell reselections in a statistic
period. The information about cell reselections is sent because of higher
signal level in neighbor cells.

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.
