Definition : When from the MS SDCCH Request is sent to Base Station and if MS successfully gets the SDCCH in response

SDCCH Assignment has done successfully. Analysis : 1. Identify the Bad performing Cells for SDCCH Assignment Success Rate 2. Take the detailed report showing (Ex. Total SDCCH Assignment Request, Total SDCCH Assignment Successful) 3. Follow the below mentioned Process after Analyzing detailed report. 4. From Report Check whether you have Idle SDCCH available in cell or not for SDCCH Assignment, because the Main factor for lowering SDCCH Assignment success rate is SDCCH congestion. 5. Check Hardware/Transmission alarms; Resolve if find any. 6. Audit for any parameters related discrepancies and define as per standard parameters set. 7. RF and Environmental Factors: a. Low Coverage Areas (Try to reduce low coverage patches with physical optimization; New sites) b. Interference/ Bad quality/ UL-DL Imbalance; c. Check the states for TRx on which SDCCH is configured can be issue of TRx also; Change TRx if you found random behavior of TRx. 9. After all rectification observe the subsequent days report if you still find the problem repeat the same process with due care to Pin Point the actual cause. SDCCH Congestion: Check The SDCCH Requests (Immediate Assignment Measurement Per Cell Report form M2000) Ex. Call purpose, SMS, Location Update If you find High SDCCH Request and low TCH utilization, Check SDCCH Dynamic Allocation Allow feature is enabled or not? if not enable this feature. If you have very High SDCCH Request for Location Updating; optimize the LAC boundary. Only For some exceptional cases you can increase the Static SDCCH Time Slots. Parameter : SDCCH Dynamic Allocation Allowed Description This parameter indicates whether the SDCCH dynamic allocation is allowed, and whether the dynamic adjustment between TCHs and SDCCHs is allowed. Then the number of GSM subscribers in a cell increases rapidly, many subscribers may fail to access the network due to insufficient SDCCH resources. In this case, the TCHs (including TCH and dynamic PDCH that acts as TCH) must be converted into SDCCHs to ensure the access of most subscribers. The SDCCH dynamic adjustment increases system capacity and reduces the dependence on the calculation accuracy of signaling channel requirement. Remarks SDCCH dynamic allocation enables TCHs to be converted into SDCCH. This reduces the number of available TCHs and thus reduces the capability of the TCHs to carry traffic. Algorithm :
