Alarm 7745

CHANNEL FAILURE RATE ABOVE DEFINED THRESHOLD

SDCCH - TCH

For internal use

1 2009 Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / NPO Telkomsel / October 2009
Alarm 7745 Generated

This alarm is generated if the percentage of abnormally ended transactions on SDCCH or TCH channels
during a measurement period is greater than or equal to the alarm threshold defined by the operator
However, the alarm is not generated again for a channel with an already active alarm There are separate
alarm thresholds for the SDCCH and the TCH failure rates The release causes for transactions are listed in
Radio Network Supervisions in Functionality of Radio Network Supervision (see Page-5)
The filtering of the alarm generation is achieved with a threshold value defined by the operator for the
number of channel seizure requests The number of channel seizure requests during a measurement period
must be greater than or equal to the threshold value for the alarm to be generated To avoid constant
alarms, it is recommended that the chosen value be quite high
Although the Channel failure rate exceeded (SDCCH, TCH) supervision is channel-specific, only one alarm
per TRX and channel type is generated during one measurement period In the alarm printout, more
specified information is given of the channel with the greatest failure rate
The system cancels the alarm at the end of the first such measurement period during which conditions for
alarm generation are no longer met

Alarm 7745 Augmented

Channel failure rate exceeded (SDCCH, TCH)

When a SDCCH/TCH is released with the following error causes, the lost call counter is augmented
Both SDCCHs and TCHs, release because of:
a channel activation failure
user actions
a BTS failure
an LAPD failure
a BSC signaling unit (BCSU) reset
Abis problems
A interface problems
a radio failure
a radio failure on an old channel during handover
a radio failure on a new channel during handover

TCHs only, release because of:

a transcoder failure
a transcoder failure on an old channel during handover
a transcoder failure on a new channel during handover
The counter for lost calls during a measurement period is cleared at the end of each measurement
period

Alarm 7745 Description

Meaning
The rate of calls terminating in failure on a channel is above the threshold value set by the operator The alarm is used to supervise the functioning of
traffic and signaling channels, and to detect the possible faulty channels

Supplementary information fields:

1 indicates if the alarm is on the TCH or on the SDCCH channel
01: TCH 02: SDCCH
2 indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined threshold in time slot 0 : 00: below threshold (no alarm) 01: above threshold (alarm)
3 indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined threshold in time slot 1 : 00: below threshold (no alarm) 01: above threshold (alarm)
4 indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined threshold in time slot 2 : 00: below threshold (no alarm) 01: above threshold (alarm)
5 indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined threshold in time slot 3 : 00: below threshold (no alarm) 01: above threshold (alarm)
6 indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined threshold in time slot 4 : 00: below threshold (no alarm) 01: above threshold (alarm)
7 indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined threshold in time slot 5 : 00: below threshold (no alarm) 01: above threshold (alarm)
8 indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined threshold in time slot 6 : 00: below threshold (no alarm) 01: above threshold (alarm)
9 indicates if the channel failure rate is above the defined threshold in time slot 7 : 00: below threshold (no alarm) 01: above threshold (alarm)
10 time slot with the highest failure rate
11 subchannel identification :
subchannel identification TCH : 00: TCH/H -subchannel 0 01: TCH/H -subchannel 1 02: TCH/F -subchannel
subchannel identification SDCCH : 00 - 07: SDCCH -subchannel 0 - 7
12 proportion of TCH or SDCCH subchannel releases due to failure in all channel releases on a given channel during the measurement period.

Alarm 7745 Description

Instructions
Find out the reason for the alarm on the basis of the release causes in channel release messages Restore the channel by first locking it out of use and
then unlocking it with the MML command ERS
ZERS:<BTS>,<TRX>,<CH>:L; lock
ZERS:<BTS>,<TRX>,<CH>:U; unlock
Check that the parameters affecting the alarm are reasonable MML command EEO outputs the radio network supervision parameter values, EEN
command modifies the parameter values
Parameters, with their default values, affecting the alarm:
ZEEN:TCHFR; = TCH failure rate (20 %)
ZEEN:SCHFR = SDCCH failure rate (80 %)
ZEEN:PRDCFR = length of supervision period (60 min)
ZEEN:CS = channel seizure threshold value (10)
ZEEN:SMBNT = supervision start time (08-00)
ZEEN:EMBNT = supervision end time (18-00)
Cancelling
If the alarm requires no user actions, you can cancel it with the MML command EOR
The system cancels the alarm automatically in connection with the user's locking and unlocking commands, or, if the situation is solved without user
actions, after the current measurement period
