The purpose is to check the performance of Network.

We have categories of KPI and numbers of KPI of each category. In the Optimization process we have to
check the KPI value to monitor and optimize the radio network performance in order to provide better
subscriber quality or to achieve better use of installed network resources . Typically KPI can be categorized
into following subcategories:'

☰ ERAB setup success rate

ERAB setup success rate KPI shows the probability of success ERAB to access all services including VoIP in a cell or radio
network. KPI is calculated based counter ERAB connection setup attempt (point A) and successful ERAB setup (point B).
The explanation is as given in the following illustration:

☰ Call Setup Success Rate

Call Setup Success Rate KPI call setup indicates the probability of success for all service on the cell or radio network. KPI is
calculated by multiplying the RRC setup success rate KPI, S1 signaling connection success rate KPI, and ERAB success
rate KPI. The table below describes the definition Call Setup Success Rate:

RETAIN-ABILITY KPI:

☰ Call Drop
VoIP call drop arise when VoIP ERAB release is not normal. Each ERAB associated with QoS information. Here's an
illustration of two procedures being done to release ERAB namely: ERAB release indication and the UE context release
request:

MOBILITY KPI:

☰ Intra-Frequency Handover Out Success Rate

Intra-Frequency Handover Success Rate Our KPI shows intra-frequency handover success rate of locall cell or radio
network to the intra-frequency neighboring cell or radio network. Intra-frequency HO included in a single cell eNodeB or
different eNodeB.
Intra-frequency HO scenario shown in the figure below:

No attempt HO calculations at point B. When ENodeB sending RRC connection reconfiguration message to the EU, he will
do the handover. ENodeB will count the number of times the HO attempt at the source cell. HO calculation of success is at
point C. The HO ENodeB count the number of the source cell when ENodeB receive RRC connection reconfiguration
message complete of the EU.
Here's a scenario intra-frequency handovers inter ENodeB:

HOME 5G LTE TUTORIAL TELECOM CODES RF ENGG JOBS NETWORKING HUB

Handover attempt occurs at point B, when the source ENodeB (S-eNodeB) sends RRC connection reconfiguration
message to the UE. He decided to conduct inter ENodeB HO. in this KPI, the source and the target cell work on the same
frequency. The number of the attempt HO calculated at the source cell. The number of successful HO occurs at point C.
During HO, HO amount which success is measured in the cell souce. This measurement appears typing S-eNodeB
received a UE context release message from the target eNode B (T-eNodeB), or the UE context release command from the
MME, which shows that the UE-eNodeB T has successfully attach at the T-eNodeB.
The following scenarios illustrate intra frequency B HO - inter ENodeB:

Following the definition of Intra Frequency Out Handover Success Rate KPI:

☰ Inter-RAT Handover Out Success Rate (LTE to WCDMA)

Inter RAT Handover Out Success rate shows the success rate KPI HO from LTE cell or radio network to a WCDMA cell.
Here's a scenario out inter RAT handover success rate:

INTEGRITY KPI:

☰ E-UTRAN IP Throughput
A KPI that shows how E-UTRAN impacts the service quality provided to an end-user.
Payload data volume on IP level per elapsed time unit on the Uu interface. IP Throughput for a single QCI:

To achieve a throughput measurement that is independent of bursty traffic pattern, it is important to make sure that idle gaps
between incoming data is not included in the measurements. That shall be done as considering each burst of data as one

sample. ThpVolDl is the volume on IP level and the ThpTimeDl is the time elapsed on Uu for transmission of the volume
HOME 5G LTE TUTORIAL TELECOM CODES RF ENGG JOBS NETWORKING HUB
included in ThpVolDl.

☰ E-UTRAN IP Latency
A measurement that shows how E-UTRAN impacts on the delay experienced by an end-user.
Time from reception of IP packet to transmission of first packet over the Uu.
To achieve a delay measurement that is independent of IP data block size only the first packet sent to Uu is measured.
To find the delay for a certain packet size the IP Throughput measure can be used together with IP Latency (after the first
block on the Uu, the remaining time of the packet can be calculated with the IP Throughput measure).

T_Lat is defined as the time between receiption of IP packet and the time when the eNodeB transmits the first block to Uu.
Since services can be mapped towards different kind of E-RABs, the Latency measure shall be available per QoS group.

AVAILABILITY KPI:

☰ E-UTRAN Cell Availability

E-UTRAN Cell Availability.
A KPI that shows Availability of E-UTRAN Cell.
Percentage of time that the cell is considered available.

As for defining the cell as available, it shall be considered available when the eNodeB can provide E-RAB service in the cell.

UTILIZATION KPI:

☰ Mean Active Dedicated EPS Bearer Utilization
This KPI describes the ratio of the mean number of active dedicated EPS bearer to the maximum number of active
dedicated EPS bearers provided by EPC network, and it is used to evaluate utilization performance of EPC network.
This KPI is obtained by the mean number of dedicated EPS bearers in active mode divided by the system capacity.

The mean number of simultaneous online and answered sessions together with maximum number of sessions provided by
network can reflect system resource utilization. If the value of this KPI is very high, it indicates system capacity is not
enough, and needs to be increased. This KPI is focusing on network view.
