established calls that are terminated
abnormally

Call Success Rate

that are successfully established and
terminated normally (i.e. Not dropped)

HOSR

attempts resulting in a successfully
completed handover, including intercell, Intra BSS and Inter BSS
handovers

Handover Success

Handover Failure Rate

HFR

The proportion of handover attempts

that result in handover failure with
dropped calls (i.e. excluding handover
attempts that fail and recover to the
source cell)

The proportion of the successfully

established calls terminated
abnormally

Tch RF loss

The proportion of TCH assignment

attempts that fail after TCH allocation
but before completion of the call setup
procedure
The total number of successful calls on
TCH. Does not include incoming
handovers

Tch Assignment Failure

Rate

Total Calls

Tch Congestion

TCH Cong

The proportion of attempts to allocate a

TCH that are blocked due to lack of
TCH resources.

SDCCH congestion

SD Cong

The proportion of attempts to allocate a

SDCCH that are blocked due to lack of
TCH resources.

Mean Time Between

Drops

Ericsson Formulae description

Sd Success rate * Tch access success rate (Not exactly like

the Motorola or nokia formula). Sd success rade DOES take
into account sd usage for LU, imsi detach, SMS etc. The
formula does take into account tch congestion

CMSESTAB = signalling link established between the ms and

msc, sccp connection confirmed message received. CCALLS
= attempt to establish sdcch (regardless of the fact that
attempt is successful or unsuccessful)

Ratio of total tch drops (handover failure drop and call drops)
to total tch successfully seized (either due to call or handover)
TFNDROP = dropped tch connections, call drops or handover
failures TFSMEST = successful establishment on tch, either
due to call or successful handover. On a network basis
TFCASSAL (total calls) will replace TFSMESTB

HOVERSUC = successfully completed handovers (intra cell,

intra bss and inter bss)
HOVERCNT =
total number of handover attempts (inter cell, intra bss and
inter bss)

the ratio of dropped connections on handovers to total

handover attempts. HDROP = total ho attempts - successfully
completed handovers - handover failures which are recovered
on old channels. HOVERCNT = total handover attempts

total failures on MOC and MTC only = total drops (handover +

calls) - Handover failure dropped TFCASSAL = total calls,
pegged at assignment complete message

TASSATT = assignment command sent to ms TFCASSALL

= Assignment complete message received

total calls (assignment complete message)

TFCONGSAS = blocked tch assignment due to congestion

TFCALLS = Total tch assignment attempts

CCONGS = blocked sd assignments due to congestion

CCALLS = total sd allocation attempts

commulative counter, total number of available traffic

channels, scanned after every tenth second. (idle and busy)
