Successful Connections

Measurement Counter

CM338:CELL_CONN

Description

This measurement provides the number of successful connections in the CS service. In the immediate assignment procedure, after establishing the MM connection, the calling MS sends a SETUP message to the BTS to request a call setup if a CC connection is required. Then the MSC returns a CALL PROCESSING message and pages the called MS. After establishing the MM connection with the called MS, the MSC sends a SETUP message to the called MS to establish the CC connection. If the called MS permits the call setup, the called MS responds with a CALL CONFIRMED message. After seizing a TCH, the called MS sends an ALERTING message to the MSC. Then, the MSC sends the ALERTING message to the calling MS. After the called MS answers, it sends a CONNECT message to the calling MS. The calling MS responds with a CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE message. Then the call is successfully established and enters the conversation state.

This counter provides the number of CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE messages received.

Unit

Integer number or integer.

Measurement Point

This counter is measured when the BSC detects a CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE message.

This counter is calculated at A9, as shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4.
