KPI Structure
Accessibility
Ability of user to obtain the requested service from the system. RRC ( Radio Resource Control) RAB ( Radio Access Bearer)- defines type of service Main KPIs CSV Access Failure Rate, CSD Access Failure Rate, PS Access Failure Rate, HSDPA Access Failure Rate, HSUPA Access Failure Rate, CS RAB set up success ratio, PS RAB set up success ratio, RRC Congestion Ratio
RRC or RAB?
RRC Access Failures are mostly due to radio reasons. RAB Access Failures are due to both radio and core network reasons.
Sample formula
RAB failures.
Admission control: Main causes : power, codes, Channel elements. Example of Mumbai circle with wrong test license loaded on 2 cells. CE capacity increased from 30 to 192.
Example # 1 ( Accessibility)
Remedial action
Congestion- EDT/MDT, CPICH ( only when absolutely necessary) for power, addition of HW for codes, checking SW licenses for Channel elements.
Retainability
Ability of a user to retain its requested service for the desired duration once connected. Key issues are missing neighbors, low quality, Hw issues and alarms, Transport issues. Main KPIs: CSV Drop Rate, CSD Drop Rate, HSDPA Call drop ratio, HSUPA call drop ratio, PS R99 call drop ratio.
Voice Drop
Drop Cause
Missing Neigh
Check neighbor cell availability Analyze existing neighbors with 3G-3G cell relation report Analyze cell coverage by RF Planning tool or Drivetest Down tilts or other physical optimizatio n
RL Add Failure
UL Sych
IRAT Drop
Iur Drop
Other Drop
Investigatin g the UE TxPwr by using Drivetest Analyze cell coverage by RF Planning tool or Drivetest determine the number of Event 6a or number of Event 2d
Neighbor List cleaning/ deletion GSM coverage area verification for IRAT Reneighbors prioritizatio n the neighbor list based on usage
Transport Issue
UE issues
Sample formula:
CS service drop ratio= Number of CS RAB abnormal releases/Total no. of CS RAB releases * 100%. VP Call drop ratio= Number of VP RAB abnormal releases/Total no. of VP RAB releases * 100%.
Example # 2 ( Retainability) Cell W_DL_Delhi_240_10@1 with CSV failure rate of 19% and voice traffic of 0.53 E Drill down:
Mobility
Monitor different kinds of handovers. Soft handover- defining the right neighbors. Missing neighbors, New site turn ups IRAT ( 3G/2G) HO issues. Check 3G/2G neighbor relations- external cell definition BCCH/BSIC to match with internal cell values. Look for issues in the target 2G cell. Main KPIs: CSV IRAT failure rate, Soft handover success ratio, AMR soft handover success ratio, PS soft handover success ratio.
Sample formula
Iu release from core. Preparation failure. Need to check for resource issues.

Coverage
Used for monitoring cell interference status and soft handover gain in a RNC or cluster. Main KPIs: SHO overhead, UL Interference Cell Ratio SHO overhead -Used to evaluate the consumption of resources due to soft handover. Trade off between resource consumption and soft handover benefits. UL Interference cell ratio= (No. of cells with mean RTWP >-98 dbm/ Total No. of Cells). RTWP high/ low? Significance??
Sample formula
Service Integrity
Indicates the service capabilities for PS/HSDPA throughput on busy hour in each cell and for evaluating the UL BLER values for each cell.
Main KPIs: Average UL Throughput for R99 services. Average DL Throughput for R99 services. HSDPA throughput. HSUPA throughput.
PS Counter example
CQI
Channel Quality Index (CQI) is a measure of the quality of DL radio interface measured at the handset ( between 0 and 30) The Node B uses this information in the evaluation and assignment of the downlink air interface throughput for the handset every 2ms, the higher the reported CQI, the higher the achievable throughput. CQI is not the only factor in the evaluation, however it is the only factor that can be readily improved through optimization. CQI is a function of Ec/No.
Availability
Measures the availability of resources. Main KPIs: Radio Network Unavailability Ratio, Worst Cell Ratio
Formula:
Traffic
Used to evaluate the circulated traffic such as CS Erlangs, PS Traffic, Mean UE number for various kind of services. Key KPIs: No. of CS users, No. of PS R99 users, No. of HSDPA users, No. of HSUPA users, HSDPA traffic volume, HSUPA traffic volume.
This KPI provides the equivalent Erlang values of all the services in the CS domain in the RNC
Sample formula
No. of CS users= (VS.RB.AMR.DL.12.2+VS.RB.AMR.DL.10.2+VS.RB.AMR.DL.7.95+VS.RB.AMR.DL.7.4+VS.RB.AM R.DL.6.7+VS.RB.AMR.DL.5.9+VS.RB.AMR.DL.5.15+VS.RB.AMR.DL.4.75) No. of HSDPA users= VS.HSDPA.UE.Mean.Cell,VS.HSDPA.UE.Max.Cell. HSDPA Traffic volume= VS.HSDPA.MeanChThroughput.TotalBytes
