Measurement Counter

M3020B : CELL_SD_CALL_DROPS_RCV_LEVEL

Description

This measurement provides the number of call drops on the SDCCH of a cell. The causes of the call release are air interface fault, no measurement report from the MS for a long time, Abis interface fault, equipment fault, and forced handover.

If the TA value is smaller than the maximum TA value of the current cell, and if the uplink receive level is smaller than the Uplink Received Level Threshold of SDCCH Call Drop Statistic or the downlink receive level is smaller than the Downlink Received Level Threshold of SDCCH Call Drop Statistic, then the counter, Call Drops on SDCCH (Receive Level), is incremented by one.
