Call drop is an very important index for

evaluating network performance.

Call drop can be calculated based on different

cells and RNC for different services

Preface

Call Drop Rate Signaling Procedure

After RAB is setup successfully, Iu release command is sent by CN due to Iu release
request or RAB release request from RNC. And the corresponding reasons are not:
Successful Relocation
User Inactivity
Normal Release

Description
This KPI can be used to evaluate the call drop ratio of different services
in one RNC. The call drops will happen due to RNC abnormal release
trigged by RAB RELEASE REQUEST or IU RELEASE REQUEST
messages
