Optimization strategy
Target issues for optimizations are e.g.
To achieve coverage and capacity RAN improvements by tuning of
interference situations within the network
Therefore check RRM to ensure that the RAN offers planned coverage for
each targeted service
Evaluate high capacity i.e. low blocking for new calls and handovers
Observe network performance by overall counters (NetAct, RNC counters)
Define quality indicators and compare KPIs by triggering points
Check overall Quality of Service at RAN, transmission and core
Optimize the use of available capacity by priorities
Continuously monitoring/adjusting how the available resources are used in
accordance with user requests !

KPI

Quality benchmark
Operator can define several KPIs:
Blocking rate (e.g. for RRC 0.5%, RT RAB 1%, NRT RAB 0.1%, PS session 5%)
Call drop rate (e.g. for RT RAB 0.5%, NRT RAB 2%)
Handover success rate (e.g. for SHO 95%, for ISHO 80%)
Report statistics generated by vendor MML commands (WBTS, RNC)
Evaluated for accessibility, retainability, usage, mobility and integrity (BLER)
Graphical representation of statistics (e.g. NetAct Report Suite)
In addition reporting and monitoring by probes

Factors affecting KPIs
Many factors and network elements can affect network performance, e.g.
Quality of network equipment, both hardware and software (BTS, RNC, PS and CS
core, transmission equipment)
Performance of UE and field measurement tools (inter-operability, sensitivity of
measurement parameters, level of accuracy)
Quality of network planning and optimization (coverage, interference, parameter
tuning, capacity dimensioning, site acquisition)
Quality of network implementation (site and network equipment installation,
integration and commissioning)
Quality of network operation and maintenance
Multi-vendor environment (application servers, IP backbone, core versus RAN)
Measurement method (test setup, service dependency, cluster or system level,

clutter type)

Drops

Call drop rate for NRT (example)
Typical target for NRT call drop rate 2%

52
PS call drop rate usually higher than CS one due to higher RSCP
requirements
and lower SHO overhead

normal_HSDPA_releases
HSDPA_session_SR normal_HSDPA_release
s HSDPA_releases_due_to_failures
HSDPA_drop_rate 1 HSDPA_session_SR
HSDPA retainability deals with transition from HS-DSCH to DCH or FACH,
not with release of HS RAB
Causes for normal transitions are
Inactivity
Preemption
Mobility to non HS cell
If a failure occurs, the RNC tries to shift the user to Cell_FACH, i.e. to
keep the RRC and RAB connection running
HSDPA drop thus is soft drop

HSDPA retainability
Typical target for HSDPA drop rate 1%

55
HSDPA usually more robust than R99 as more power available for
the radio link

Inter-system measurements

Attempt and success counted in all source cells
RT and NRT ISHO differ in nature
Counter and KPI are implemented separately for RT and NRT
In case of multi-RAB with at least one RT RAB counted as RT ISHO
ISHO may fail due to e.g.
Missing target cell
Target cell has not enough coverage
Target cell strongly interfered

Example
100 PDUs with no re-transmission
16 PDUs with 1 re-transmission
3 PDUs with 2 re-transmissions
1 PDU with 3 re-transmissions
Transmission rate = (100 * 1 + 16 * 2 + 3 * 3 + 1 * 4) / (100 + 16 + 3 + 1)
Transmission rate = 145 / 120 = 1.21
