1 Changes in BSS KPI Reference This describes the changes of BSS KPI Reference. 2 Introduction to KPI This describes the KPI, which is used to monitor the network performance and detect network problems. 3 CS Accessibility KPIs This describes the CS accessibility KPIs that mainly indicate the call success rate when a MS accesses the network. Low accessibility KPIs directly lead to low user satisfaction. 4 CS Retainability KPIs This describes the CS Retainability KPIs that indicate the ratio of moving MSs to all MSs, the moving frequency. In addition, these KPIs indicate the capability of providing continuous services.A low success rate leads to low user satisfaction. 5 CS Mobility KPIs This describes the CS Retainability KPIs that indicate the success rate of handovers on the move. In addition, these KPIs indicate the capability of providing continuous services. A low handover success rate may lead to a high call drop rate. 6 CS Resource Utilization KPIs This describes the CS Resource Utilization KPIs that are used to monitor the load of hot cells and the network. These KPIs can serve as references for capacity expansion. The traffic volume KPIs help to obtain the ratio of busy-hour traffic to idle-hour traffic, to evaluate the utilization of system resources, and to adjust charges. The equipment availability KPIs help to know the running status of equipment, such as the running status of channels. If these KPIs are low, equipment and transmission may be faulty. 7 CS CPU Usage KPI This describes the CS CPU Usage KPI that indicates the mean ratio of the busy time of the CPU in a Granularity Period. 8 CS Receive Quality KPIs This describes the CS Receive Quality KPIs that indicate the mean receive quality rank on the TCH. 9 PS Accessibility KPIs

This describes the PS Accessibility KPIs that indicate whether MSs can easily access cells. Poor PS Accessibility KPIs directly affect user satisfaction. 10 PS Retainability KPIs This describes the PS Retainability KPIs that mainly involve the uplink and downlink TBF call drop rates. These KPIs indicate the capability of providing continuous services by the network and are directly related to user satisfaction. Thus, an increase in call drop rate directly leads to a decrease in user satisfaction. 11 PS Transmission Performance KPIs This describes thePS Transmission Performance KPIs that indicate the quality of radio transmission links in a cell. If the RLC data block retransmission rate in a cell is high, the quality of the radio transmission links in the cell is poor. Therefore, take corresponding measures, such as RF optimization. 12 PS Resource Utilization Rate KPIs This describes the PS Resource Utilization Rate KPIs that indicate the utilization of the network resource and the busy states of services. Thus, these KPIs can be used to guide network expansion. 13 PS Throughput KPIs This describes the PS Throughput KPIs that are used to monitor the load of hot cells and the network and to obtain service models. These KPIs can serve as references for capacity expansion. The PS Throughput KPIs help to obtain the busy-hour PS traffic and the idle-hour PS traffic, to evaluate the utilization of system resources, and to facilitate service assessment of carriers. 14 PS Delay KPIs This describes the PS Delay KPIs that indicate the service response speed of the network. Long delay affects user satisfaction. 15 PS Data Throughput Rate KPIs This describes the PS Data Throughput Rate KPIs. They involve the performance factors associated with the terminals, the radio access network, and the core network. Now, the main performance problem is concerned with the radio access network. Therefore, these KPIs indicate the end-to-end service data link bearing capability of the GPRS network, which are directly related to user satisfaction.

KPI Attributes
Each KPI has the following attributes:
l l
Introduction to KPI
This describes the KPI, which is used to monitor the network performance and detect network problems.
Measurement object: indicates the measurement scope of a KPI, such as BSC level, PCU level, or cell level. Measurement set: describes the signaling or algorithm of collecting a KPI, such as call access and TBF establishment. Measurement service: indicates the service type of a KPI, such as CS service or PS service.
Measurement Set
Figure 2-1 shows the measurement set of the CS domain performance counters. Call measurement and channel measurement are very important. Most of performance counters are distributed in the two measurement sets.
l l
Call measurement: refers to the measurement of call services in a BSC. Channel measurement: refers to the measurement of various counters related to channels.

Classification of KPIs
KPIs that are commonly used in routine monitoring can be classified according to the indicated performance. The CS KPIs can be categorized into the following:

Accessibility KPIs Retainability KPIs Mobility KPIs Resource Utilization KPIs CPU Usage KPIs Receive Quality KPIs
Accessibility KPIs Retainability KPIs Transmission Performance KPIs Resource utilization Rate KPIs Throughput KPIs Delay KPIs Data Throughput Rate KPIs

2 Introduction to KPI
Collection of KPIs
CS KPIs per cell and KPIs per BSC can be viewed and analyzed on the M2000. KPIs can be exported from the M2000 as .csv, .xls, .html, or .txt files. In addition, CS KPIs per BSC can be viewed and analyzed through the BSC6000 intelligent report system. KPIs can be exported from the BSC6000 intelligent report system as .csv, .xls, .html, or .txt files. PS KPIs, such as Throughput KPIs, Transmission KPIs, Accessibility KPIs, Resource utilization KPIs, and Retainability KPIs can be viewed and analyzed on the M2000. KPIs can be exported from the M2000 as .csv, .xls, .html, or .txt files. In addition, PS KPIs can be set and queried through the OMC traffic console. End-to-end performance KPIs can be queried through Drive Test and Call Quality Test.
NOTE
The measurement object has time spans, and KPIs are collected on schedule; therefore, KPI collection may span different periods. If the KPIs reflect the actual status of the measurement object at a moment, the KPI collection inevitably spans different periods.

About This Chapter
This describes the CS Resource Utilization KPIs that are used to monitor the load of hot cells and the network. These KPIs can serve as references for capacity expansion. The traffic volume KPIs help to obtain the ratio of busy-hour traffic to idle-hour traffic, to evaluate the utilization of system resources, and to adjust charges. The equipment availability KPIs help to know the running status of equipment, such as the running status of channels. If these KPIs are low, equipment and transmission may be faulty. 6.1 TCH Traffic Volume 6.2 SDCCH Traffic Volume 6.3 TCHH Traffic Volume 6.4 TCH Availablity 6.5 TRX Availability 6.6 SDCCH Availability

PS Retainability KPIs
This describes the PS Retainability KPIs that mainly involve the uplink and downlink TBF call drop rates. These KPIs indicate the capability of providing continuous services by the network and are directly related to user satisfaction. Thus, an increase in call drop rate directly leads to a decrease in user satisfaction.

PS Throughput KPIs
This describes the PS Throughput KPIs that are used to monitor the load of hot cells and the network and to obtain service models. These KPIs can serve as references for capacity expansion. The PS Throughput KPIs help to obtain the busy-hour PS traffic and the idle-hour PS traffic, to evaluate the utilization of system resources, and to facilitate service assessment of carriers.

14 PS Delay KPIs
Initial PING delay If the interval between two consecutive PING operations is longer than 9000 ms, the MS enters the Packet Idle Mode. If the PING operation is re-initiated, the TBF established on the CCCH is used. Therefore, the initial PING delay is longer. Consecutive PING delay If the interval between two consecutive PING operations is shorter than 500 ms, the PCU uses the uplink delay release or downlink delay release policy. This avoids the TBF establishment for the following PING operations or the TBF re-establishment on the PACCH. This PING delay is relatively shorter.

About This Chapter
This describes the PS Data Throughput Rate KPIs. They involve the performance factors associated with the terminals, the radio access network, and the core network. Now, the main performance problem is concerned with the radio access network. Therefore, these KPIs indicate the end-to-end service data link bearing capability of the GPRS network, which are directly related to user satisfaction. 15.1 GRPS Data Transmission Rate 15.2 EDGE Data Transmission Rate
