3.1 BSC measurement function
3.1.1 General
The statistic items in BSC Measurement Function are used to measure the traffic
statistic of all cells in the BSC. These items are listed in Tale 1.1
The statistic items in BSC Measurement Function can e di!ided into follo"in#
classifications:
Statistics of times that MSC re$ects MS%s ser!ice re&uest' includin# the
statistics accordin# to different re$ection causes.
The status of circuit ser!ice and (ac)et ser!ice (a#in# ein# transmitted and
im(lemented' includin# the measurement at * +,- interface and *is
interface.
Measurement of circuit ser!ice and (ac)et ser!ice CCC. o!erload.
The status of circuit ser!ice and (ac)et ser!ice immediate assi#nment re&uest
and the im(lementation.

For the traffic status of the s(ecified cell' 1ou can re#ister the related items in Cell

Measurement Function.
3t is recommended that all statistic items in BSC Measurement Function should e
re#istered throu#h 6 tas)s after the BSC )ic)off ecause these items are im(ortant
items for measurin# net"or) (erformance. 3t is recommended that the tem(lates

Note:
10 ! statistic task can contains at most ( items@ 'herefore4 3 tasks are needed to register all items of

The statistic o$ect of BSC Measurement Function is the "hole BSC. So there is no

3.1?.1 General
=(lin) fre&uenc1 scan function is a .ua"ei4featured function. 3t can scan the u(lin)
RH le!el of all the fre&uencies in ?SM900/1800 fre&uenc1 and' i.e. it can scan the
stren#th of interference si#nals in the fre&uenc1 ands of W8@9J880M .0Y'
W880J890M .0Y' C890J918M .0C and C1808J1880M .0C. The u(lin) fre&uenc1 scan
function is to test interference. Because the u(lin) fre&uenc1 scan is a test of u(lin)
RH le!el' the measurement result reflects the stren#th of the si#nals of the
measurement fre&uenc1 that can e recei!ed in the cell' and can ser!e as the
reference for en#ineers to select a((ro(riate "or)in# fre&uencies.
3.1?.2 )rinciple

scan function utili0es an idle frame on a TC. of the measurement cell to conduct a
c1clic test +Dhen BSC allocates this channel' the TC. on the TRE "hich BCC.
elon#s to is (referred-' and scans the u(lin) RH le!el of the desi#nated fre&uenc1.
TC. is of 594multiframe structure' and there is one idle frame in each multiframe.

The measurement shall e sto((ed "hen the traffic statistic tas) is deleted or

The measurement result out(ut in Traffic Statistic S1stem is the a!era#e !alue of
the u(lin) RH le!el scanned from the start time of a fre&uenc1 scan tas) till the
measurement result is out(ut' ut cli((in# to measurement result is (erformed
technicall1. Because an idle frame is ado(ted for u(lin) fre&uenc1 scan' in actual
a((lication' the u(lin) RH le!el of s1nchronous cells +includin# the fre&uencies of
the other TREs of this cell- cannot e scanned.
The u(lin) fre&uenc1 scan function is used to measure the interference le!el that
affects ?SM900/1800 u(lin) RH &ualit1 in the radio en!ironment. 3t can measure
the u(lin) interference of all ?SM900/1800 fre&uenc1 ands. To (erform more
accurate measurement for the interference and of idle TC.' (lease refer to the
880
items in CCell Measurement FunctionC and CChannel *llocation Measurement
FunctionC. Measurement of this interference and onl1 aims at desi#nated
fre&uencies.
Because the main set and su set le!els are re(orted and (rocessed se(aratel1'
there are t"o statistic !alues for the u(lin) fre&uenc1 scan result of a fre&uenc1.
