Alarm Definition as per NED
Company confidential For internal use only for internal use only 2 Nokia Siemens Networks
Meaning :
Mean holding time on a channel is below the operator-defined minimum during the measurement period. The alarm is used to supervise the functioning of traffic channels and to detect the possible faulty channels.
Parameters, with their default values, affecting the alarm: ZEEN:MINHTT = minimum mean holding time for a TCH (10 s) PRDMHT = length of TCH supervision measurement (120 min) CS = channel seizure threshold value

RF Issues:
BCCH Frequency used in MAL list Some segments in the network using same BCCH Frequency Value of TSC parameter is same as BCC value High Interference in the network. Large number of intracell handovers (AMR packing/unpacking, interference)
BSC/Network Issues:
LAPD message distribution problem due to unused (floating) TRX signaling links on the BCSU concerned Telecom links overloading the BCSU Repeated Transmission Failures

Troubleshooting
1. Check the BTS alarms for presence of degradation alarms TRX FAULTY, 7745 Channel Failure rate above threshold, TRX Operation degraded etc. 2.Check the hardware showing that alarm and trouble shoot for the alarm as per NED. 3.Recommissioned particular BTS with RFCAD. 4.Make sure all the TRX test are passed during the commissioning. 5.Check for any High VSWR or RF feeder swapping in the sector. Once the troubleshooting for the BTS HW part is done and verified and all issues were addressed. Please start for the verification on RF part. 1.Check for alarm 7744: HIGH TCH INTERFERENCE showing high interference in the cell. 2.Verify for any adjacent cells having same BCCH frequency using ZEAT command. 3. Use ND reports and KPI data to for high UL interference and radio drops. 4. KPI analysis of the affected cells for large number of intracell handovers causing shorter duration TCH seizures.

Troubleshooting
Incase of large handover attempts in the segment follow following guidelines 1. Check the handover parameters in the cells for intracell handover thresholds and margins. 2. Tune the TCH access parameters for 1800 band from 900 band i.e LAR, LER and NBL for segments. 3. Tune the FRL/FRU and LSEG parameters for TCH load distribution in both BTSs in Segment.
Note : Changes in the handover parameters should be done in consultation with local RF team as per their recommendations
