    Core Timers T305 T308 Final

    The document discusses trial results from adjusting call drop timer values T305 and T308 in the Makkah pool. The default timer values were 30 seconds for both T305 and T308. Testing showed that reducing the values to 2 seconds for T305 and 1 second for T308 resulted in a 16.7% reduction in call drops. Other tested adjustments did not significantly improve call drops. The optimal timer values fulfill the relationship of T305 + 2*T308 being less than (N200+1)*T200 to reduce unnecessary drops triggered by T200 timer expiry.

    The document discusses call drop enhancement trials done by changing the timer values T305 and T308. Testing various timer values like 2, 3, 4, 8, and 16 seconds on the Makkah pool showed that changing the values to 2 and 1 seconds respectively resulted in around 16.7% improvement in call drops.

    The default timer values of T305 and T308 in the Makkah pool were 30 seconds each. Timer values of 2, 3, 4, 8 and 16 seconds for T305 and T308 were tested.

    Changing the timer values to 2 seconds for T305 and 1 second for T308 in the Makkah pool MSC resulted in around 16.7% improvement in call drops based on the trial conducted on 14th February.

    Timers description

    During a Mobile terminated call, if A party disconnects (hangs up after finishing


    conversation), MSC sends a DISCONNECT message to the B party and initiates a
    supervision timer T305 waiting for RELEASE message from the mobile.
    If not received, T305 expires.
    MSC then sends RELEASE to B party and initiates a timer T308 waiting for RELEASE
    COMPLETE message. If not received, T308 expires.
    This is repeated once again.
    If no response is received from the mobile yet, MSC initiates a CLEAR command, releasing
    the resources.
    As a default values of T305 and T308 are set to 30 seconds in the network.
    With the previous setting, BSC will send a CLEAR REQUEST to MSC within this time period,
    which will be a drop call, mostly due to T200 timer expiry.
    If this Timers are changed to values below T200+ this scenario will not be counted as
    Drop call

    It is to be emphasized that the above drop is not subscriber impacting since it is mainly
    occurring by very bad coverage areas(Garage,Elevators, etc.) in the B party side.

    Drops

    When the BTS transmits a DL layer-2 frame on the air the BTS starts the timer T200 and waits for
    the acknowledgement frame from the MS. If the acknowledgement from the MS is not received
    within time T200 the transmission of the layer 2 frame is repeated and T200 timer restarted.
    The total number of repetitions is restricted to N200, a fixed value specified by GSM which
    depends on the control channel types.

    If T200 expires after the last layer 2 frame repetition the BTS sends an ERROR INDICATION with
    causes "T200 expired N200+1 times (followed by a RELEASE INDICATION) message to the BSC,
    which releases the associated resources.

    When BSC receives Clear CMD message from MSC, BSC will start T3109, and after this time,

    Reference No. (9 pt Arial)


    Network will ignore the ERROR INDICATION message from BTS. So if the MSC can send CLEAR
    COMMAND before T200 expiry, by changing T305 and T308, then the drops which are not
    subscriber perceived but triggered due to T200 expiry will be ignored.
