Dropped message
A
dropped message occurs when the PP loses the connection with the RFP. The PP is no
longer able to receive messages from the RFP.
Handover
Handover is the process of switching a call in progress from one physical channel to another
physical channel.
There are two types of handover:
• Inter-cell: A call in progress switches from one RFP to another RFP. This type of handover
generally occurs because the user is roaming.
• Intra-cell: A handover that is completely internal to one RFP. This type of handover is
generally caused by interference on the carrier frequency to which the call is locked.
RFP-channel occupation
The RFP-channel occupation report indicates how many RFPs are installed and can be helpful
when determining if enough RFPs are installed.
The RFP-channel occupation report contains tables that show the number of seconds that RFP
channels are free.
Figure 212: RFP channel occupation report - 6-channel RFP on page 304
shows an example of an RFP-channel occupation report from a 6-channel RFP
. The
performance retrieval period is 15 minutes (900 seconds).
