Monitoring

2 Overview of A Interface Occupation Rate Monitoring

This feature monitors the real-time status and usage of the circuits on the A interface and TC resources
through performance measurement.
This feature is an important feature for ensuring the network quality. It provides the following benefits for
the operators:
z

Learn the usage of the circuit resources of the A interface in time, thus providing a basis for the system
capacity expansion.

Know about the distribution status of the circuit resources of the A interface in time. Coordinate the
configuration of transmission resources among networks. Add, reduce, and re-allocate the
transmission resources on the basis of the usage of resources, thus reducing the network operation
cost.

Find the defects of the network planning, thus improving the principles and methods of the existing
network planning.

3 Technical Description

3 Technical Description
This feature is implemented through performance measurement of the BSC.
This feature monitors the usage of the circuits on the A interface and TC resources in different states
through performance measurement of the BSC. The monitoring result helps the operator know better
about the usage of present resources.
The counters used in this feature are classified into following types:
z

Counters about the timeslot usage on the A interface

These counters provide the occupation times, occupation duration, and work status of each timeslot
(TS1 to TS31) in the trunk circuit over the A interface. These counters are helpful to A interface circuit
troubleshooting.

Counters about the circuit resources on the A interface

These counters provide the circuits in faulty, idle, uninstalled, maintenance, blocked, busy, and
peer-uninstalled state. If the A interface circuits are in various states, the respective number of circuits
in each state are measured and the results are provided in the sequence of local-uninstalled, busy,
maintenance (faulty and blocked), faulty, peer-uninstalled, blocked, and idle.

Counters about TC resources in the BM and TC subracks

These counters provide the number faulty, idle, busy, maintenance, and prohibited TC resources in the
BM and TC subracks. If the TC resources are in various states, the respective number of TC
resources in each state are measured and the results are provided in the sequence of busy,
maintenance(faulty and blocked), faulty, blocked and idle.

In TC pool mode, the TC resources can be differentiated by their BSC IDs

The main BSC calculates all TC resources in all TC subracks. TC resources that are in the maintenance(faulty and
blocked), faulty, blocked, and idle state in TC subracks belong to the main BSC; whereas the TC resources that are in the
busy state in TC subracks belong to their respective BSCs. The secondary BSCs calculate the TC resources in their
respective BM subracks.
