2 UMTS Events
2.1 UMTS Scanner Events Detection and Information Attributes
2.1.1 Threshold Options and Preferences
Analyzer has thresholds and preference allowing engineers to define the levels of EcIo,
Timers, etc. necessary to peg events. The following thresholds and preferences are
available:

2.1.1.1 Scanner Threshold

• Uu_Scan_PilotPollutionThreshold (Used in Scanner Pilot Pollution – Section)


Recommended value is -15 dB and value should vary between -10 and -18 dB.

• Uu_Scan_TooManyServersThreshold (Used in Scanner Too Many Server event –


Section Recommended value is 5 dB and value should vary between 1 and 10 dB.

2.1.1.2 Scanner Preferences


The WCDMA options within the General Settings group in the Preferences dialog control the
simulated active set feature. See section 2.1.3.1.

2.1.2 Coverage-related Events

2.1.2.1 Pilot Pollution (Attribute Uu_Scan_PilotPollution)


Analyzer has event detection that allows engineers to visualize pilot pollution on a map
with drive-test scanner data. The Pilot Pollution event occurs when 4 or more pilots with
Ec/Io greater than Uu_PilotPollutionThreshold are can be seen.

2.1.2.2 Too many Servers (Attribute Uu_Scan_TooManyServer)


Because UMTS uses relative levels to evaluate additions/removals to the active set,
Analyzer has a different event that allows engineers to visualize pilot pollution relative to
the best server. The Too Many Servers event acts like the Pilot Pollution event except with
relative levels. The event occurs when 4 or more pilots with Ec/No within
“Uu_Scan_TooManyServersThreshold” dB of the best server
(CPICH_Scan_EcIo_SortedBy_EcIo[0]).

2.1.3 Other Information Attributes

2.1.3.1 Emulated Active Set Module (Attributes EventCellAddition,


EventCellRemoval, EcIo_in_ActiveSet, EcIo_in_MonitoredSet)
CPICH Pollution Analysis and Handoff Analysis are both based on a calculated Active Set,
which is determined by the Emulated Active Set module. The Emulated Active Set module
implements the 3GPP handoff algorithm and uses scanner Ec/Io measurements in
conjunction with user-specific 3GPP handoff thresholds to emulate the Active Set at each
point along a drive test. Shown below is a sample set of scanner data for three individual
SCs with color and vertical lines indicating transitions of pilots into and out of the Active
Set.

Actix Analyzer UMTS Events Technical Reference July 2008 UMTS Events 6

Using Scanner Ec/Io measurements to implement 3GPP handoff algorithms for the Active Set

Shown below is the list of attributes available for modification by the user, as indicated in
the 3GPP specifications:

Setting 3GPP handoff algorithm attributes including Reporting Range: Hysteresis Event and Time to
Trigger Event

The parameters depicted in the picture are based on the WCDMA events defined in the
3GPP TR 25.922 V4.1.0 (2001-09) Radio Resource Management Strategies specification.
Max. Active Set Size (up to 8). Specify the maximum size of the Active Set (1-8).
Disable active set simulation. Select this check box to turn off the active set simulation
feature. This will usually give faster file loading times, and will mean that the lines to cells
feature in the map will be based on the measured SC (if it's available) rather than the
simulated active set. This option is off (deselected) by default.

2.2 UMTS UE Events Detection and Information Attributes


Analyzer has embedded intelligence that helps the engineer to detect problems in the
UMTS network. The event detection capabilities of Analyzer allow engineers to quickly
visualize a series of problems.

2.2.1 Threshold Options and Preferences


Analyzer has thresholds allowing engineers to define the levels of RSCP, Ec/No, Time
Delay, etc. necessary to peg events. The following thresholds are available:

2.2.2 Coverage Related Events

2.2.2.1 System Interference (Attribute Uu_SystemInterference)


The System Interference event occurs when the CPICH_EcNo_in_ActiveSet is less than
Uu_EcNoInterferenceThreshold (in dB) and the CPICH_RSCP_in_ActiveSet is greater than
Uu_RSCP_InterferenceThreshold (in dBm).

Example of system interference before a dropped call

2.2.2.2 Poor Uplink Coverage (Attribute Uu_PoorUL_Coverage)


The Poor Uplink Coverage event occurs when the CPICH_EcNo_in_ActiveSet is greater than
Uu_Poor_EcNoThreshold and the CPICH_RSCP_in_ActiveSet is greater than
Uu_Poor_RSCP_Threshold and UeTransmittedPower is greater than Uu_HighUE_TxPower
threshold.

Example of poor uplink coverage before a dropped call

2.2.2.3 Poor Downlink Coverage (Attribute Uu_PoorDL_Coverage)


The Poor Downlink Coverage event occurs when the CPICH_EcNo_in_ActiveSet is less than
Uu_Poor_EcNoThreshold and the CPICH_RSCP_in_ActiveSet is less than

www.actix.com
Actix Analyzer UMTS Events Technical Reference July 2008 UMTS Events 9

Uu_Poor_RSCP_Threshold and the UeTransmittedPower is less than Uu_LowUE_TxPower


threshold.

Example of poor downlink coverage before a dropped call

2.2.2.4 Coverage Limited (Attribute Uu_CoverageLimited)


The Coverage Limited event occurs when the CPICH_EcNo_in_ActiveSet is less than
Uu_Poor_EcNoThreshold and the CPICH_RSCP_in_ActiveSet is less than
Uu_Poor_RSCP_Threshold and the UeTransmittedPower is greater than
Uu_CoverageLimitedUE_TxPowerThreshold.

Example of coverage limited problem before a dropped call

2.2.2.5 Pilot Pollution (Attribute Uu_PilotPollution)


Analyzer’s event detection allows engineers to visualize pilot pollution on a map with drive
test data. The pilot pollution event occurs when 4 or more pilots with Ec/No greater than
Uu_PilotPollutionThreshold are in the active or monitored set.

www.actix.com
Actix Analyzer UMTS Events Technical Reference July 2008 UMTS Events 10

The engineer needs to look at each SC and try to find out what is the best way to optimize
the area. See the training document for a full detailed description on optimization
techniques.

Example of pilot pollution before a dropped call

2.2.2.6 Too Many Servers (Attribute Uu_TooManyServer)


Because UMTS uses relative levels to evaluate additions/removals to the active set,
Analyzer has a different event that allows the engineer to visualize pilot pollution relative
to the best server. The “Too Many Servers” event acts like the pilot pollution event except
with relative levels. The event occurs when 4 or more pilots with Ec/No within
“Uu_TooManyServersThreshold” dB of the best server (Uu_ActiveSet_EcNo_0) are in the
active or monitored set.
The engineer needs to look at each SC and try to find out what is the best way to optimize
the area. See the training document for a full detailed description on optimization
techniques.

Actix Analyzer UMTS Events Technical Reference July 2008 UMTS Events 11

Example of too many servers around a dropped call

2.2.3 System related Events

2.2.3.1 Handover Problems (Attribute Uu_HandoverProblem)


Analyzer’s event detection allows engineers to visualize handover problems on a map with
drive test data. The handover problem event works as follows:

• Event detection looks for a dropped call or call setup failure

• It counts the number of times when the first best SC in the Monitored set is
stronger than the first best SC in the Active set, within an 8-second window
leading up to the drop.

• If that number is greater than the number of times the Active set is stronger than
the Monitored set, it sets a Handover problem (assuming we have no Active set
update messages)

Example of handover problems before a dropped call

Actix Analyzer UMTS Events Technical Reference July 2008 UMTS Events 12

2.2.3.2 Missing Neighbours (Attribute Uu_MissingNeighbour)


Analyzer’s event detection allows engineers to visualize missing neighbour on a map with
drive test data. The missing neighbour event occurs when a particular SC is not in the
neighbour list and forces the call to drop. The following procedure is followed to trigger the
event.
When the drop call occurs, a specific function looks for the next origination and gets the
value of the new SC in the active set. If the new SC is different from the SCs in the active
set before the call dropped, the function looks for the last neighbour list before the call
dropped. If that same neighbour list does not contain the new SC, it is a possible missing
neighbour.
So, in other words:
If (SC in active set after drop call) <> (SCs in active set before drop call and Neighbour list
before drop call) then missing neighbour
Of course, in this case, the engineer needs to understand the coverage issues. If the new
SC is not meant to cover the specific area, optimization is probably the best solution and
the engineer should not add the specific neighbour.

Example of a missing neighbour before a dropped call

2.2.4 CS domain-related events

2.2.4.1 CS Call Setup (Attribute Uu_CallSetupStatusOrigination,


Uu_CallSetupStatusTermination)
Following 3GPP specifications (TS 25.331), during the RRC Connection phase, if expiry of
timer T300 (see threshold Uu_CallSetupFailure_TimeDelay) before RRC Connection Setup
and V300 (Number of RRC Connection Requests) is greater than N300
(Uu_RRC_CallSetupFailure_Num_RRCConnReq), refer to point 1 and 2. (Also see Appendix
section 3.1)
If V300 is less than or equal to N300, then reset timer T300 and V300 = V300 + 1.

Note: These thresholds are only used as a initial setting,


and are updated from the system information.

www.actix.com
Actix Analyzer UMTS Events Technical Reference July 2008 UMTS Events 13

If RRC Connection Setup or Setup Complete was received and the call fails to proceed after
that point, it would be considered as a call setup failure during the RRC Connection Setup.

Note: RRC Connection Setup & RRC Connection Reject


message must have the same UE Identity as the RRC
Connection Request.

If the call fails between the CM Service Request (or GPRS MM Service Request for PS Calls)
and the CC Setup (or the end of the Security Mode Command Complete for PS calls), it
would be considered as a call setup failure during security procedures.

www.actix.com
Actix Analyzer UMTS Events Technical Reference July 2008 UMTS Events 14

If the call fails between the CC Call Proceeding and the Radio Access Bearer Setup
Complete, it would be considered as a call setup failure during the RAB Setup procedure.

2.2.5 PS domain-related events


Unlike in the CS domain, the definition of Call in the PS domain is subject to different
interpretations.
This paper explains the criteria used by Actix for the classification of a PS Call and the
definition of the related events.
It should be noted that besides PS Call related events and statistics Actix provides analysis
of other NAS specific procedures that are sometimes linked to the PS Call concept, like PDP
Context Activation/Deactivation.
The main criterion adopted by Actix for the definition of PS Call is:

There needs to be actual transfer of PS data

In fact in UMTS it is possible to establish a PDP Context without actually transfer any data
(this is typical of “Always-on” network). So the main trigger for the detection of PS Call is
the attempt to setup a PS Radio Bearer with rate greater than 0 kbps (some networks
allow to establish a dummy bearer of 0 kbps…).
However, because many operators tend to identify a PS Call with the setup of a PDP
context, whenever it is applicable. Session Management messages are used as trigger for
setting attributes like Successful/Failed PS Call Setup.
An Originating PS Call attempt is detected by one of the following triggers:

• RRC: RRC Connection Request with Establishment Cause equal to any of the
following:
▫ RRC_OriginatingStreamingCall
▫ RRC_OriginatingInteractiveCall
▫ RRC_OriginatingBackgroundCall

www.actix.com
Actix Analyzer UMTS Events Technical Reference July 2008 UMTS Events 19

▫ RRC_OriginatingSubscribedTrafficCall

• RRC: Radio Bearer Setup message with assignment of physical resources to that
PS Radio Bearer (PS Rate in DCH > 0 kbps) if PS call attempt not already detected*

• RRC: Radio Bearer Reconfiguration, with assignment of physical resources to that


PS Radio Bearer (PS Rate in DCH > 0 kbps) if PS call attempt not already detected*

• RRC: Transport Channel Reconfiguration, with assignment of physical resources to


the related PS Radio Bearer (PS Rate in DCH > 0 kbps) if PS call attempt not
already detected*
A Terminating PS Call attempt is detected with one of the following triggers:

• RRC: RRC Connection Request with Establishment Cause equal to any of the
following:
▫ RRC TerminatingStreamingCall
▫ RRC TerminatingInteractiveCall
▫ RRC TerminatingBackgroundCall

• GMM: Service Request with Service Type equal to “Paging Response”


It should be noted that in the likely case that more than one of the above events occur
during the setup sequence only the first event (in time) is valid for the detection of the PS
Call attempt. In other words, if a PS Call attempt has been already detected, subsequent
triggers do not detect the PS call again.

2.2.5.1 Outgoing Call OK PS (Attribute Uu_OutgoingCallOk_PS)


During the Originating PS Call Setup phase (i.e. an Originating PS Call Attempt has been
detected) each of the following events denotes a successful PS call setup:

• RRC: Radio Bearer Setup Complete if PS Rate in DCH > 0 kbps and a PDP Context
is already active for that Radio Bearer

• SM: Activation PDP Context Accept and the PS rate assigned during the RB Setup
procedure is greater than zero (NOTE: during the PDP Context activation a PS
Radio Bearer Setup procedure always occurs)

• RRC: Radio Bearer Reconfiguration Complete, with assignment of physical


resources to that PS Radio Bearer (PS Rate in DCH > 0 kbps) if not already in call

• RRC: Transport Channel Reconfiguration Complete, with assignment of physical


resources to the related PS Radio Bearer (PS Rate in DCH > 0 kbps) if not already
in call

2.2.5.2 Incoming Call OK PS (Attribute Uu_IncomingCallOk_PS)


During the Terminating PS Call Setup phase (i.e. a Terminating PS Call Attempt has been
detected) each of the following events denotes a successful PS call setup:

• RRC: Radio Bearer Setup Complete if PS Rate in DCH > 0 kbps and a PDP Context
is already active for that Radio Bearer

*
A typical case is where a RB is setup either in DCH without configuring physical resources
(Ch.Code) or in FACH

www.actix.com
Actix Analyzer UMTS Events Technical Reference July 2008 UMTS Events 20

• SM: Activation PDP Context Accept and the PS rate assigned during the RB Setup
procedure is greater than zero (NOTE: during the PDP Context activation a PS
Radio Bearer Setup procedure always occurs)

• RRC: Radio Bearer Reconfiguration Complete, with assignment of physical


resources to that PS Radio Bearer (PS Rate in DCH > 0 kbps) if not already in call

• RRC: Transport Channel Reconfiguration Complete, with assignment of physical


resources to the related PS Radio Bearer (PS Rate in DCH > 0 kbps) if not already
in call

2.2.5.3 Outgoing Call Setup Fail PS (Attribute Uu_OutgoingCallSetupFail_PS)


During the Originating PS Call Setup phase (i.e. an Originating PS Call Attempt has been
detected) and before reaching a PS Call successful Setup, each of the following events
denotes a PS call setup failure:

• RRC: RRC Connection Reject (e.g. Congestion)

• RRC Connection Setup fails due to timer expiry (T300 x N300)

• RRC: RRC Connection Release with cause other than “Normal Release”

• UE drops to idle*

• RRC: Radio Bearer Setup Failure

• SM: PDP Context Activation Reject (without RB Setup Failure)

• RRC: Radio Bearer Reconfiguration Failure

• RRC: Transport channel Reconfiguration Failure

2.2.5.4 Incoming Call Setup Fail PS (Attribute Uu_IncomingCallSetupFail_PS)


During the Terminating PS Call Setup phase (i.e. a Terminating PS Call Attempt has been
detected), and before reaching a PS Call successful Setup, each of the following events
denotes a PS call setup failure:

• RRC: RRC Connection Reject (e.g. Congestion)

• RRC Connection Setup fails due to timer expiry (T300 x N300)

• RRC: RRC Connection Release with cause other than “Normal Release”

• UE drops to idle*

• RRC: Radio Bearer Setup Failure

• SM: PDP Context Activation Reject (without RB Setup Failure)

• RRC: Radio Bearer Reconfiguration Failure

*
The algorithm use to detect a UE dropping to idle is based on one of the following events:
- SystemInfo messages from UE in Cell_DCH. The event is actually detected after an internal
configurable timer expires, in order to handle RRC re-establishment procedures
- RRC Connection Request from UE in Cell_FACH/Cell_PCH

www.actix.com
Actix Analyzer UMTS Events Technical Reference July 2008 UMTS Events 21

• RRC: Transport channel Reconfiguration Failure

2.2.5.5 Call complete PS (Attribute Uu_CallCompleted_PS)

• When in Call (Outgoing Call Ok PS or Incoming Call Ok PS), each of the following
events denotes a successfully completed PS call:
▫ Uu_RRC_MsgType == RRCConnectionRelease with cause “Normal Release”
or “User inactivity”
▫ Deactivation PDP Context Request with cause “Regular deactivation”

2.2.5.6 Dropped call PS (Attribute Uu_CallDropped_PS)

• When in Call (Outgoing Call Ok PS or Incoming Call Ok PS), each of the following
events denotes a PS Call drop:
▫ Uu_RRC_MsgType == RRCConnectionRelease with cause other than
“Normal Release” and “User inactivity”
▫ UE drops to idle and does not re-establish via RRC Connection re-
establishment procedure.
▫ Deactivation PDP Context Request with cause other than “Regular
deactivation”

2.2.5.7 Call setup time PS (Attribute Uu_TimeBetweenRRC_REQandCallStart)


The PS call setup time measures the time taken to setup the RRC Connection and the PS
radio bearer.
The starting point for the timer is the following event:

2.2.5.8 PS Call known issues in the current release


This is a list of PS Calls known issues that will be fixed in the next release.

• As described in the PS Call Attempt definition, the RB Setup message detects an


Originating Call if physical resources are allocated for that PS Radio Bearer.
However in the case of Service Type “Data” a Call Id is always assigned even when
there are not physical resources assigned (i.e. PS Rate = 0 kbps); this results in
identifying possible PS Call Setup failures even when PS Rate = 0kbps.

• If during PDP Context Activation the logging tool skip the RB Setup message, the
message sequence stalls and restarts only when UE returns to idle, unless the
network sends a PDP context Reject.

Uu_RRC_ID is a unique number asserted to a RRC connection. The Uu_RRC_ID is given a
number on the first RRC Connection Request this number is then maintained for the
duration of the connection.
Once the RRC is released or dropped the Uu_RRC_ID is set to zero on the next message.

Note: On the First RRC Request there are attributes


Uu_First_RRC_Request_N300,
Uu_First_RRC_Request_T300, Uu_RRC_Start_Time are set.
These give the N300 & T300 used for the RRC procedure

Actix Analyzer UMTS Events Technical Reference July 2008 UMTS Events 34

Example of the UE_SCs_in_ActiveSetAtASU

Attribute UE_HeldActiveSetSize_BtwASUs is the ActiveSet Size between the ActiveSet


updates, and UE_ActiveSetSizeAtASU is the ActiveSet Size at ActiveSet Update command.

2.2.10.8 PS Allocated Rate (Attributes Uu_PS_AllocatedRate, Uu_PS_RateDuration,


Uu_PSRate_DCH)
Attribute Uu_PS_AllocatedRate indicates the bit rate assigned by the network to a PS Radio
Bearer. The new value is set at the completion of the RRC procedure by which the network
assigns a new rate to the PS Radio Bearer. Supported values are

no phys.ch.
512 kbps
384 kbps
128 kbps
64 kbps
8 kbps (SF 64)
8 kbps (SF 128)
Attribute Uu_PS_RateDuration indicates the duration (in msec.) of the previous PS
Allocated rate. Like Uu_PS_AllocatedRate, it is set at the completion of the RRC procedure
by which the network assigns a new rate to the PS Radio Bearer.

www.actix.com
Actix Analyzer UMTS Events Technical Reference July 2008 UMTS Events 35

Attribute Uu_PSRate_DCH indicates the bit rate assigned by the network to a PS Radio
Bearer. Supported values are as above
It changes every time the network assigns a new rate to the user via RRC signaling (e.g.
Radio Bearer Setup). The new value is set at the start of the RRC procedure by which the
network assigns a new rate to the PS Radio Bearer.

2.2.10.9 UMTS Neighbour List (Attributes Uu_UE_NbrList, Uu_UE_NbrListCount)


These attributes are generated from Measurement Control signalling within file.
The Measurement Control messages are sent from the network to the UE during a RRC
connection. They can contain the list of the available neighbors (scrambling codes) that a
UE should consider in its measurement procedures. The first of these Measurement Control
messages is usually the setup Mode. The Concessive MC messages modify mode (i.e. they
change the list).
After the RRC connection procedure the algorithm, considers the first Measurement Control
message to be the Setup and builds up an internal array of Scrambling Code with their
corresponding index numbers (from attributes Uu_RRC_NewIntraFreqCell_intraFreqCellID
and Uu_RRC_PrimaryCPICH_Info_primaryScramblingCode). This information is then used
to populate attributes Uu_UE_NbrList and Uu_UE_NbrListCount (i.e. the number of SCs in
the array).
Concessive Measurement Control messages then modify this list, this continues until a new
RRC Setup procedure is detached at which point the array is reset.

Note: If there are any missing Measurement Control


messages, this NBR list will become out of sync with the
true NBR list being measured by the UE.
