Selected UMTS KeyPerformance
Parameters
There are three major challenges in
performance measurement:1. Defining
performance measurements and
KPIs.2.Verifying measurement
results.3. Explaining measurement
results.This chapter deals with these
challenges and offers solutions based on
measurement scenariosand case studies.
It explains how data is captured, filtered
and computed, which statements canbe
derived from measurement analysis
and which limitations apply.
Furthermore, thenecessary protocol
knowledge to verify measurement
results is presented. Once again, thisis
neither a perfect nor a complete
overview, but a guided walkthrough. It is
not a ready-to-useimplementation guide,
but a path to individual measurement
definition and analysis.
2.1 BLOCK ERROR RATE (BLER)
MEASUREMENTS
Block error rate (BLER) is an analysis of
transmission errors on the radio
interface. Usingformal definitions
BLER is a KPI, because it is a
formula. It is based on analysis of
cyclicredundancy check (CRC) results
for radio link control (RLC) transport
blocks and computedby defining the
relation between the numbers of RLC
transport blocks with CRC error indi-
cation and the total number of
transmitted transport blocks as
expressed in Equation (2.1).Block Error

BLER is measured separately on the
uplink and downlink direction, which is
mandatory,because in UTRAN
frequency division duplex (FDD)
mode uplink and downlink data
istransmitted using different frequency
bands.There are several options for
BLER filtering and computing, which
will be explained inthe following two
sections.
