Comparison of TOP KPIs and

measurement differencies
MSC - MSS

Nokia Siemens Networks

The evaluation is mainly based on document:

-MSS System KPI Guideline V1.1
and
- MSC: Description of Key Performance Indicators (KPI)
for Circuit Switched Domain (CS5.0) V8
- Traffic and Performance Data Counter Description CS5.0

The KPIs were first group into:

KPI Area

Measurements /used for

Traffic Measurements
(refer to /
3GPP32401/)^
-> LOAD

Measure load on network interfaces

(Signaling and user traffic)
Measure usage of resources within
network nodes (e.g. load)
Measure user activation and service
usage rates

Grade of Service
Measurements
(refer to /ITU-E493/)
-> GOS

Measure failure rates for basic

Signaling procedures
Measure failure rate and malfunctions
on data traffic

Only those KPIs belonging to the GOS group are relevant for a
performance evaluation during migration.

The MSS System KPI Guideline contains currently single 30 KPIs.

From those 15 KPIs were identified as LOAD KPIs and therefore considered
as not relevant.
From the remaining 15 2 KPIs are directly related to specific system hardware
and 5 are related to Rel4/Mediagateway architecture.
The following 8 KPIs are considered as migration relevant:

1.

ATTEMPT counter SUCCESS and/or FAILURE counter

How is the differentiation in counters done between 2G and 3G traffic

MSS: on MSS side SUCCESS

and FAILURE
counter no ATTEMPT counter
