RRC SETUP fails if some of the needed resources (RNC, BTS, AIR, Transport) are not available. When an RRC setup failure occurs the RNC sends an RRC: RRC CONNECTION REJECT message to UE RRC ACCESS fails if the UE does not reply to RRC: RRC CONNECTION SETUP message with the RRC: RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE message in given time, if the BTS reports a radio link synchronisation failure or in an RNC internal failure occurs
RRC ACTIVE fails when an interface related (Iu, Iur , Iub, or Radio) or RNC internal failure occurs, and the failure causes the release of the RRC Connection. When an RRC active failure occurs, the RRC send a RANAP: IU RELEASE REQUEST to all involved CNs and waits for RANAP: IU RELEASE COMMAND message (s)
RRC ACTIVE release cause can be either ISHO, IFHO, SRSN relocation or pre-emption

RRC Connection Active Phase, UE-CN Signalling RANAP: RAB Assignment Request
RAB SETUP fails if some of the needed resources (RNC, BTS, AIR, Transport) are not available. When an RAB setup failure occurs the RNC sends a RANAP: RAB ASSINGMENT RESPONSE message to the CN with an appropriate failure cause RAB ACCESS fails if the UE replies with an RRC: RADIO BEARER SETUP FAILURE message or the connection cannot be established in a give time. When a RAB access failure occurs, the RNC sends a RANAP: RAB ASSINGMENT RESPONSE message to the CN with an appropriate failure cause. Immediately after this, the RNC sends also a RANAP: IU RELEASE REQUEST to the CN and waits for RANAP: IU RELEASE COMMAND message
RAB ACTIVE fails when an interface related (Iu, Iur, Iub, or Radio) or RNC internal failure occurs, and the failure causes the release of the RAB connection. If the UE has more than one RAB connection and the failure is not so critical that it would lease to an RRC Connection drop, only the failed RAB connection is released. The RNC sends a RANAP: RAB RELEASE REQUEST message to the CN and waits for a RANAP: RAB RELEASE COMMAND or RANAP: IU RELASE COMMAND from CN Otherwise, both the RRC connection and RAB connection (s) are released. The RNC send a RANAP: IU RELASE REQUEST message to the CN and waits for a RANAP: IU RELEASE COMMAND MESSAGE from the CN

If RNC receives RRC: Measurement Report indicating event 4a when UE has been allocated DCH0/0 or in cell_PCH state RNC receives Cell Update indicating need for dedicated channel (i.e. cause UPLINK DATA TRANSMISSION), following counter is incremented: M1022C0 PS_SESSION_REQ_UL If the network wants to initiate any downlink activity and the UE is in Cell_PCH state, it needs to make a paging request.

ISHO analysis
1. 2.
Analysis should be performed for each service (i.e. AMR, PS etc.) Breakdown ISHO analysis into three phases: Compressed mode performance Inter-system measurement success Inter-system handover success If high ISHO compressed mode start not possible Check busy hour data of PrxTotal , PtxTotal and M1000C22 AVE_PTXTOT_CLASS_4 and M1000C20 AVE_PTXTOT_CLASS_3 for AC rejection

ISHO Analysis
4. If Low ISHO Measurement Success Rate Check ADJG neighbour list for missing neighbours Check parameter discrepancy (BSIC) or BSIC collision due to too tight reuse Check Compressed mode parameter set Check ISHO triggering Threshold too slow triggering Check EcNo Distribution (M1007C38-M1007C47) to indicate low coverage / interference problem If Low ISHO Success Rate (RT <95% & NRT < 80%) Check missing or wrong 2G parameter in MSC/SGSN (LAC, CellId, BCCH) Check discrepancy of Cell information in RNC Check 2G cell GPRS/EGPRS data congestion May require further troubleshooting with ICSU logging to determine root cause of failure

Looking at some logs the failure is due to difficult BSIC verification during ISHO procedure and since the failure happens after the Handover from UTRAN commands all relative ISHO counters are incremented In the same area there are some Handover from UTRAN failure messages sent back from the UE with the cause physical channel failure this means that UE had some problems to establish connection with the GSM cell (aggressive GSM frequency reuse) Optimisation of ADJG in the area and if possible 2G frequency plan
