2 Introduction
2.1 KPI Aggregation
2.1.1 Aggregation of Metrics
Application of a metric to clusters of cells and multiple RAN reporting periods requires the
summation of each individual counter in the equation over all cells and RAN reporting
periods to be included. The aforementioned aggregation methodology will be the basis of
all KPI calculations in this document. In cases where the KPI calculation is being applied to
a single call for a single RAN reporting interval the summation of each individual counter is
not required.
Exceptions to this aggregation rule if they exist will be outlined within the specific KPI
sections.
2.1.2 Aggregation Reporting Levels

In addition to the 15 minutes RAN reporting periods the following aggregated metric levels
will be required for reporting:
 Hourly
 Daily
 Weekly
 Monthly
2.2 Network Vision OEM Performance Metrics
The Network Vision program requirements for market acceptance consist of network
performance metric achievements. These market acceptance network performance
metrics may have a different nomenclature in FLUX than referenced by the Network Vision
documentation. A table listing the Network Vision metric nomenclature to the FLUX metric
nomenclature is included below for reference. Please note that load balancing is not a
supported feature by the OEM and its associated metrics will be determined at a later date
when the feature becomes available.

2.3 OEM Counter Collection Requirements
The Network Vision program counter collection requirements are to collect all available
OM counters. Due to the deployment of a new network technology the ability to use any of
the reported counters in the future needs to available.
2.4 OEM Data Retention Requirements
The Network Vision program data retention requirements have been mutually agreed upon
between the Flux architecture team and the National 4G RF Performance Team and are as
follows for reference:
Data Retention Targets

Raw 15 minute RAN data – 10 days
Hourly aggregated data – 90 days
Daily aggregated data – 3 years
2.5 Reveal Data
The Network Vision program requires aggregated data from the Reveal platform to be
transferred and loaded into Flux for KPI Performance Monitoring. Aggregated ENIQ Event
data should be in the same manner as RAN OM data such that quarter hour data in local
eNB time is reported and designated of the time at the start of the quarter hour.
Aggregated data should be indexed by the following fields; DATE, HOUR, QHOUR, MARKET,
ENODEB, CELL, MME GROUP ID, MME CODE, SGW, PGW, UE OEM, UE MODEL, UE MODEL
SW VERSION. All ENIQ Event data from the Reveal platform referenced in KPI calculations
shall be preceded by [Reveal.] for clarification purposes.

2.6 UL/DL Configuration Throughput Aspects
The Network Vision program’s throughput KPIs may need to account for the TDD
deployment UL/DL Configuration setting which defines within a radio frame the amount
and sequence of UL and DL sub-frames. Throughput calculations with time components
larger than a frame (10ms) will not be impacted by the UL/DL Configuration due to the
inherent time averaging of the UL sub-frames. Throughput calculations with time
components less than a frame (10ms) will be impacted by the UL/DL Configuration and the
formula will have to account for time averaging of the UL sub-frames. UL/DL Configuration
1 and Special Sub-Frame Structure of 4 with the UpPTS used as additional Guard Period
will be deployed in the Sprint TDD network. Based on this deployment 6 of the 10 sub-
frames would be used for DL and 4 of the 10 frames would be used for UL. Throughput
calculations based on time components of sub-frames (TTIs) will be normalized to account
for time averaging of the DL or UL sub-frames. DL Throughputs will be factored by 0.6 ( 6
out of 10 sub-frames) and UL Throughputs will be factored by 0.4 ( 4 out of 10 sub-frames).
Throughput calculations that are scaled by utilization will be factored by 0.9762 to account
for the median error associated with Special Sub-Frame potential capacity.
3 KPI Definitions
3.1 Network Configuration

3.1.1 Carrier Count
This metric will measure the amount of carriers on the network
3.1.2 Sector Count
This metric will measure the amount of sectors on the network
3.1.3 Site Count

This metric will measure the amount of sites on the network
3.2 Network Accessibility
3.2.1 Connection Failure Rate
The Connection Failure Rate is defined as a metric that shows the probability for an end-user to
not be provided with initial E-UTRAN Radio Access Bearers. Unsuccessful attempts are
compared with total attempts for all parts of the E-UTRAN Radio Access Bearer establishment
including RRC Connection, UE Context, and Initial E-UTRAN Radio Access Bearer. All
connection requests are included in this metric including initial attaches and service requests.
UE re-tries, defined as subsequent RRC Connection Requests when the eNodeB is already aware
of the UE from an initial request, are excluded from this metric. The UE Context component
relates only to logical S1 connections. It should be noted that failures (RF and NAS Reject) after
UE Context Setup Successes and before the Initial ERAB Setup Request are unaccounted for in
this metric.

Appendix (informational)
A. SDC on LTE
Sprint Direct Connect (SDC) on LTE feature utilizes two Qos bearers. Initial feature deployment
will use QCI 1 for media and QCI 5 for signaling with a migration of QCI 1 to QCI 131 before
the VoLTE feature is deployed. The standard RF Performance metrics listed below are
applicable to SDC on LTE performance management.
