Clear Requests Sent on the A interface (TCH) (Traffic Channel)

Measurement Counter

CM339:CELL_A_CLR_REQ_TCH_TRAF

Description

After the MS seizes a traffic channel, in case of any call release is caused, the BSC sends a CLR REQ message to the MSC, regardless of whether the call is in the stable or handover state.

This measurement provides number of clear requests sent on the TCHFs or TCHHs used to carry traffic over the A interface.

Unit

Integer number or integer.

Measurement Point

When the a TCH is seized to carry signaling during a call, this counter is incremented by one when the BSC sends a CLR REQ message to the MSC.

This counter is calculated at A5, as shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4.
