Objective
The objective of this document is to provide a self-explanatory document which helps optimization engineers to have a clear understanding of KPIs, the related counters, subcounters along with the formula. Knowledge of these definitions will assist them not only to monitor the trend of network but also to dig into the cause-and-effect behavior of it and make optimizing decisions where necessary.
General guidelines
The KPIs are sequenced as it is in the pivot list of KPI tool. Each KPI is defined first and then followed by general formula, detailed formula & counter & sub-counter description. The sub-counters are sometimes all selected or sometimes individually selected in the following manner: COUNTERNAME_1_10= the sum of all sub-counters starting from 1 to 10 COUNTERNAME_1&10= the sum of sub-counters 1 & 10 only If any counter(having several sub-counters) is not suffixed by sub-counter, it means sum of all sub-counter values. For sub-counter description refer to the appendix at the end of this document terms:
FR= Full Rate HR= Half Rate Outer area (900 MHz service) = O as suffix Inner area (1800 MHz service) = I as suffix for concentric cells and two sub -counters summed
