3.1 Measurement family
The measurement names defined in the present document are all beginning with a prefix containing the measurement family name (e.g. RAB.AttEstabCS.Conv). This family name identifies all measurements which relate to a given functionality and it may be used for measurement administration (see TS 32.401 [1]).
The list of families currently used in the present document is as follows:
– ATML (measurements related to ATM Layer).
– CARR (measurements related to UTRAN cell Radio Frequency carrier).
– CR (measurements related to Code Resources).
– DCA (measurements related to Dynamic Channel Allocation).
– EQPT (measurements related to Equipment).
– FP (measurements related to Frame Protocol).
– HHO (measurements related to Hard Handover).
– HSDPA (measurements related to High Speed Downlink Packet Access).
– HSUPA (measurements related to High Speed Uplink Packet Access).
– HSPAE (measurements related to High Speed Packet Access Evolution).
– IRATHO (measurements related to inter-Radio Access Technology Handover).
– IU (measurements related to Iu connection).
– MBMS (measurements related to Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service).
– MR (measurements related to Measurement Report).
– PEE (measurements related to Power, Energy and Environmental parameters).
– RAB (measurements related to Radio Access Bearer management).
– RELOC (measurements related to SRNS Relocation).
– RLC (measurements related to Radio Link Control).
– RLM (measurements related to Radio Link Management).
– RRC (measurements related to Radio Resource Control).
– RRU (measurements related to Radio Resource Usage).
– SHO (measurements related to Soft Handover).
– SIG (measurements related to Signalling).
– TCR (measurements related to TDD Code Resources).
