RLT - Radio Link Timeout

RLT - Radio Link Timeout
When SACCH is not decoded this counter is decreased by 1 when it is reaches to zero it result normal call drop. In this period if SACCH is decoded counter is increased by 2.

       This parameter indicate how much time call maintained when radio environments is bed.
       If RLT value is high then call is sustain longer time. it is affected to customer  customers perception.
       Highway and in building cells have higher value of RLT parameter and it is give better improvement of call drops.
       This parameter is define in AMRFR & AMRHR and  also Non AMRFR & Non AMRHR
       We can also check this on TEMS radio parameter window


one time slot lasts 0.577ms, Bursts period is 4.615ms
1 SACCH Period= 4.615X104 bursts    (4x26=104 bursts)  = 480ms
Now Radio Link Time Counter:-
 It is depend on SACCH blocks.
This parameter defines the maximum value of the radio link counter expressed in SACCH blocks. Range of 4 – 64 in step size of 4.
Value of RLT. Normally 16, 20, 24. 
If RLT value is 16 then call is sustain around- 7.6 Sec( 16 *480ms) when SACCH will not decoded
If RLT value is 20 then call is sustain around -9.6 Sec( 20*480ms)
If RLT value is 24 then call is sustain around -11.5 Sec( 24*480ms)

RLT Measure in TEMS Radio Parameters
RL Timeout Counter (Cur) : This parameter define the maximum value of the radio link counter expressed in SACCH blocks. Range of 4 – 64 in step size of 4. it shows current value of RLT. Decrease by 1 but increase by 2. When it reaches zero it results in normal DROP Call.
RL Timeout Counter (MAX) : This parameter define the maximum value of the radio link counter expressed in SACCH blocks. Range of 4 – 64 in step size of 4. it shows current value of RLT. Normally 16, 20, 24.
