Performance Counter Reference for Base Station Controller

1. Application Description

1) Service Description

A performance counter defines the measurement items of a measurement object and can be used for network performance assessment, network optimization, and fault detection. 

The following concepts help you better understand a performance counter:

• Object type: (also called measurement object) a physical entity or logical entity, such as radio cell, RNC, and Iu interface.
• Function set: a set of multiple function subsets with the same attributes, for example, the function set HHO-related measurement items consists of two function subsets: hard handover measurement <RNC> and hard handover measurement <cell>.
• Function subset: (also called measurement unit), a set of measurement counters with the same attribute, for example: the function subset of Ethernet port measurement refers to statistics of different types of traffic over an Ethernet port.
• Counter: (also counter timer), data that must be collected for a measurement, such as number of requests and service traffic.
• The following figure shows the relationship between the object type, function set, function subset, and counter.

2) Documentation Description

• If you deploy a GSM network, see BSC6900 GSM Performance Counter Reference and BSC6910 GSM Performance Counter Reference. 

• If you deploy a UMTS network, see BSC6900 UMTS Performance Counter Reference and BSC6910 UMTS Performance Counter Reference.

• If you deploy a GSM+UMTS (GU) network, see BSC6900 GU Performance Counter Reference and BSC6910 GU Performance Counter Reference.
