5# Purpose an% Scope
Purpose:
This %ocument is an optimi.ation gui%eline "ith the purpose to instruct P'engineers "or!ing in 'A pro)ects to %eli$er performance troubleshooting#
This %ocument is meant for ITRA >S '?
Scope:
The scope of the %ocument is the follo"ing9
To sho" ho" to troubleshoot cells to impro$e certain 3PIs#
NoteAll the net"or!s are %ifferent an% thus is hea$ily recommen%e% to analy.enet"or! properly before optimi.ation# Also properly optimi.ation strategy shoul%be create%, "ill it be better to use special cell le$el optimi.e% parameter $aluesan% loose control of the net"or! or use some general (not cell le$el optimi.e%*$alues#

2# GPRS obility management
GPRS obility anagement (G* han%les the subscribers@ re;uests forattaching to or %etaching from the General Pac!et Ra%io Ser$ice (GPRS*
net"or!# G up%ates the location of the subscriber to the ome ocationRegister (R* an% to the isitor ocation Register (R* if the obile Station(S* is also attache% to the circuit&s"itche% (CS* ser$ices#
transfers the necessary information from another SGS/Pac!et Processing>nit (PAP>* "hen the subscriber mo$es from one routing area to another# also han%les the subscriber@s authentication functions#
It is important to monitor the performance of G in a GPRS net"or! as thefunctions of G proce%ures are to control the accessibility an% retainability#
GPRS attach success ratio is one of the most important G relate% 3PIs to bemonitore%#
2#5 GPRS Attach
The GPRS Attach is a process %uring "hich the mobile %e$ice informs thenet"or! about its presence in the net"or!# The %e$ice usually initiates the GPRSattach after po"er on# obile state is changing from i%le to rea%y, as can be seenfrom figure belo"# 4etach means that mobile state is changing bac! to i%le#
2#2 GPRS Attach 3PIs
A S shall perform a GPRS Attach to the SGS in or%er to obtain access to theGPRS ser$ices# If Gs interface a$ailable an% the net"or! operates in et"or!
'peration o%e I, the Combine% GPRS/ISI Attach proce%ure "ill be performe%,else, a normal GPRS Attach proce%ure shall be performe%#
