GSM - TCH Availablility

TCH Availability is the ratio available TCH (Full Rate, Half Rate, dynamic radio channels) to the total available and unavailable TCH (Full Rate, Half Rate, dynamic radio channels). Generally, TCHA follows the pattern of available TCH/F and dynamic radio channel.

TCHA is one of the first KPI that should be checked in environments where power outages are common. It degrades blocking, DCR, HOSR and other KPIs to a large extent. More often than not, low TCHA of neighboring cell causing severe KPI degradation in a particular cell. It is always safe to revive TCHA of the network before implementation of parametric or design changes for KPI improvement.

Major alarms causing low TCHA are STP link association broken (transmission), and GENSET on (power outage).
