Overview
Access is associated with the call setup success
rate of the network. This KPI can be optimized by
means of “Call setup test” and the consequent
trouble-shooting based on access failure analysis.

Definition of access failure
Call setup succeeds when the call setup phase is
completed (when CC Connect is received). If the
call fails to reach the CC Connect stage, it should be
pegged as an access failure .

Access problem analysis methods
Traffic statistics data and custom complaint collection reveal problems exactly, further trouble-shooting can be carried out by call setup test. While for a pre-commercial or trial network, call setup test is the effective way.

Access failure due to terminating UE
The reason is: we use two mobile to test video phone, for the originating call mobile camped in 3G network, but the terminating call mobile camped in 2G network that moment, so video call setup failed, the missing signaling of terminating UE can also explain it:

Summary
Access process is complicated since different devices are
involved and scenario varies. Careful study from signal
distribution to signaling procedure makes things easy.
Examples above are derived from tests carried out before,
which give general idea of trouble shooting, advanced
researches will be supplemented. .
