What Is Immediate Assignment Success Rate

The immediate assignment success rate (IASR) indicates the success rate of a mobile station accessing the signaling channel. It is calculated as the number of successful immediate assignments divided by the total immediate assignment requests. A lower IASR can cause issues like decreased call setup success, signaling channel congestion, and reduced traffic volume. The IASR is affected by factors like interface problems, signaling channel congestion, equipment faults, and mobile station issues during the different phases of the signaling procedure from random access request to link establishment. Analyzing these factors can help identify the root causes of low IASR such as unsuccessful assignments due to no available signaling or access channels or phantom access attempts.

What is Immediate Assignment Success Rate (IASR)?

Overview of the Immediate Assignment Success Rate :


Immediate assignment success rate indicates the success rate of the MS accessing the
signaling channel. It concerns the procedure from the MS sending a channel required
message to the BTS to the MS sending an establish indication message to the network.

Immediate assignment success rate is a key access counter. It directly reflects the success
rate of the MS accessing the signaling channel and affects the user experience.

The immediate assignment success rate is calculated from traffic statistics. The
recommended formula is as follows:
Immediate Assignment Success Rate = (Successful Immediate Assignments/Immediate
Assignment Requests) x 100%

Signaling Procedure and Measurement Points

Symptom Description :
If the immediate assignment success rate decreases, the following symptoms may occur:

1. Call setup success rate decreases.


2. Congestion occurs frequently on the SDCCH
3. Traffic volume on the TCH decreases
4. Short messages cannot be successfully sent

Factors Concerning Immediate Assignment Success Rate:


1. Signaling Factors:
According to the signaling flow, the factors concerning the immediate assignment success
rate during each phase are as follows:
(1) Random access request phase: whether the small interference signal on the Um
interface is regarded as the random access request by the BSC. Affecting factor: Um
interface problems;
(2) SDCCH assignment phase: whether the SDCCH is available after the random access
request is accepted. Affecting factor: SDCCH congestion;
(3) Channel activation phase: whether the channel activation is successful after the
channel assignment succeeds. Affecting factor: CHAN ACTIV NACK message is received
because of equipment faults during SDCCH activation;
(4) Immediate assignment command phase: whether the timer for the
acknowledgment of the immediate assignment expires. Affecting factor: Um interface
problems;
(5) Link establishment phase: whether the link can be established on the SDCCH after
the immediate assignment command is sent. Affecting factor: MS features.
The following analysis is based on these factors.
2 Factor Analyzing According to the Definition of the KPI :
As shown in the previous section, the following four factors are related to immediate
assignment success rate: Um interface problems, SDCCH congestion, reception of CHAN
ACTIV NACK because of equipment faults during SDCCH activation, MS problems.
These factors are related to the definition of the KPI. There are three formula that can
define the immediate assignment success rate, the mapping between formula and factors
are as follows:

Reasons for Immediate Assignment Failures :

Answer to paging
Emergency call
Call reestablishment
Other services (Orig. call, SMS, SS)
Mobile Originating call
Location update
Other procedures (IMSI detach, SMS, SS, etc.)

There are three main reasons for immediate assignment failures

1. Unsuccessful Immediate Assignment Procedure, No SDCCH Available SD


Blocking
2. Unsuccessful Immediate Assignment Procedure, No AGCH Available (AGCH Overload)
Check for configuration being used in cell. Is it combined BCCH or non-combined BCCH.
3. Unsuccessful Immediate Assignment Procedure, assigned SDCCH is not seized by the MS
(Phantom RACH Scenario)
Check if cell is serving a very large area then we might need to increase RxLevAccessMin as
the cell is taking traffic from a large distance.

There are two cases when phantom RACHs are rejected

a. Call attempted from a high TA i.e. TA > 63


b. MS received level at the BTS in UL is less than a minimum threshold
