KPI Attained Approach
In general, there are two approaches to define/attain KPIs:
By statistics /Counter:
Most of KPIs are attained by this approach, such as RRC Success Rate, HHO Success Rate
By drive test / Stationary test:
Some KPIs should be attained by drive test, such as Attach Latency, Handover latency

Collection methods (TS 32.403)
CC (Cumulative Counter), for example, Attempted RRC connection establishments;
GAUGE (dynamic variable), used when data being measured can vary up or down
during the period of measurement, for example, Maximum E-RAB Setup time;
DER (Discrete Event Registration), when data related to a particular event are captured
every nth event is registered, where n can be 1 or larger, for example, Cell Unavailable
Time, Mean E-RAB Setup time;
SI (Status Inspection), for example, Average Number of simultaneous E-RABs;
Reporting period
The measurement results are collected in a pre-defined reporting period, and this
reporting period, in general, is configurable at EMS, for example, 15mins, 60mins

Accessibility (1) RRC Setup Success Rate
RRC Setup Success Rate (service)
The RRC setup procedure is trigged by different reasons as identified by the establishmentCause
field in the RRCConnctionRequest message: emergency, highPriorityAccess, mt-Access, mo-
Signalling, mo-Data, delayTolerantAccess-v1020.
The UE sets the establishmentCause and received by eNodeB. Causes except mo-Signalling
are categorized as service related ones, and the cause of mo-Signalling is categorized as signal
related ones.
This KPI evaluates the RRC setup success rate with service related causes in a cell or cluster.
