Key Performance Index

The Key Performance Index (KPI) tells the general condition of the network. All networks have many operational parameters but among them few are considered as key parameters and whose value states the health of the network. Minimum and Maximum level are determined by the communication service provider (CSP) as per the contract with their strategic partner. These KPIs parameters are in terms of accessibility and retain-ability for network or cell-wise and measured either during network busy hours (NBH) or bouncing busy hour (BBH).Network Busy Hour (NBH) is that particular hour in a day (24 Hours) during which total switch network has maximum ulitization or the switching network is busy. Commonly it is between 1900 Hrs to 2000 Hrs but may vary in week days and also circle wise. Bouncing Busy Hour (BBH) is that particular hour in a day during which the cell is having maximum utilization or the radio resource remains busy. This varies according to cell location, week days and does not have any fixed hour as it can be between 1000 Hrs to 1100 Hrs in cells located at commercial areas, 2000 to 2100 hrs in cells located in residential areas CSP often differentiates their network geographically into Top 10/Top 100/Showcase and Rest of Network/Non Showcase. The values for KPI parameters have different weight age based on the type of network. KPI Parameters are defined separately for Voice, Data, Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) & Intelligent Network (IN). Mentioned below are KPIs of a telecom network. Some critical KPI parameters are marked in red

The most important KPI for an FLM engineer is Radio Network Availability (RNA) and has to ensure maximum radio network uptime. Also he has to ensure that all installed hardwares are fault free, does not have any hardware related alarms, cables and connectors are tight as per desired level and VSWR, transmit power are within desired level. This will definitely have a bearing in reducing SD and TCH blocking. Let us understand the meaning of few critical KPIs, their desired values for a good network. Network Availability Switch (During 24 Hrs) It is measured as the ratio of total switch uptime to total time in minutes for every 24 hours. Typical Value: 100% Network Availability Radio (During 24 Hrs) It is measured as the ratio of total radio network uptime to total time in minutes for every 24 hours. Typical Value: 99.95% (For Top 10/Top 100/Showcase Networks) 99.90% (For Rest of Network/Non Showcase Networks) These values are after commercial exclusions. Successful Call Rate (24 Hrs) It is measured as the ratio of no of successful calls to total no. of calls attempted in a network. Typical Value: 95% SDCCH Blocking It is defined as the no of blocked standalone dedicated control channel or radio signaling channel in a network. It is measured as the ratio of total blocked SD channel to total available SD channel. Network wide SD blocking is normally analyzed in terms of radio network accessibility during network busy hour (NBH). Cell wise radio network accessibility due to SD blocking is also analyzed during bouncing busy hour (BBH) to ascertain that percentage of cells having SD blocking less than defined benchmark say 0.5%. Typical Value of SDCCH Blocking network wise (NBH): <0.5% Typical Value of SDCCH Blocking <=0.5 cell wise (BBH) : >90% TCH Blocking It is defined as the no of blocked radio traffic channel timeslot in a network. It is measured as the ratio of total blocked traffic channel timeslot to total available traffic channel timeslot. Network wide TCH blocking is normally analyzed in terms of radio network accessibility during network busy hour (NBH). Cell wise radio network accessibility due to TCH blocking is also analyzed during bouncing busy hour (BBH) to ascertain that percentage of cells having TCH blocking less than defined benchmark say 1%. Typical Value of TCH Blocking network wise (NBH): <1% Typical Value of TCH Blocking <= 1 cell wise (BBH) : >90% SDCCH Drop When a call is terminated during signaling at air interface due to any reason (ex, abis fluctuation, poor RF environment etc) not by the user (MS) it's called SD drop. It is measured as the ratio of total no. of SD Call dropped in a network to total number of SD call attempted. Network wide SD drop is normally analyzed in terms of network accessibility during network busy hour (NBH). Cell wise radio network accessibility due to SD drop is also analyzed during bouncing busy hour (BBH) to ascertain that percentage of cells having SD drop less than defined benchmark say 2.25%. Typical Value of SD Drop network wise (NBH): <1.3% Typical Value of SD Drop <= 2.25 cell wise (BBH) : >90% TCH Drop When a call was terminated by network after traffic channel assignment due to any reason not by the user (MS) it's called TCH drop. It is measured as the ratio of total no. of call dropped in a network to total number of successful call attempted. Network wide TCH drop is normally analyzed in terms of network retainability during network busy hour (NBH). Cell wise radio network retainability due to TCH

drop is also analyzed during bouncing busy hour (BBH) to ascertain that percentage of cells having TCH drop less than defined benchmark say 2.75%. Typical Value of TCH Drop network wise (NBH): <1.5% Typical Value of TCH Drop <= 2.25 cell wise (BBH) : >90% Hand Over Success Rate (HOSR) Based upon coverage & quality the MS decides to move to a better cell to maintain good voice quality. However, MS can change the cell during IDLE mode also. This phenomenon is called as handoff. The definition of neighbours should be done based upon coverage footprint. HOSR during NBH can be calculated as a ratio of total successful handoff to total handover attempts. Cell wise HOSR can be calculated with percentage of cells meeting benchmark say >91% during cell BBH. Typical Value of HOSR network wise (NBH): >95% Typical Value of HOSR > 91% cell wise (BBH) : >90% TCH Assignment Success Rate (TASR) It is a successful TCH seizure for call Set up. MS is moved from signalling ( SDCCH) to TCH after successful assignment. TASR during NBH can be calculated as a ratio of total successful assignment to total assignment request by MS. Cellwise TASR is calculated with percentage of cells meeting benchmark say >95% during cell BBH. Typical Value of TASR network wise (NBH): >97% Typical Value of TASR> 95% cell wise (BBH) : >90%

Site Acceptance Process

1.1 Sub Process 1 - Analyze Site List Offered for AT
In this Step, NI Team has to submit the Sites for AT to MS Team with all the details as per the Annexure I. This Annexure will be in line with the RF and MW GIS template of the Site Plus tool which will further enable the MS team to create a entry for the respective sites post Site AT in the Site Plus Tool. FLM Manager will accept the Site List for AT and share the same with NPO and his own Team. NPO Team has to check the KPI availability of 24 hrs, if available then proceed for RF AT else reject at that point itself and pass it on to NI team for rectification via FLM Manager. Site AT Engineer from FLM Team will check the internal alarms (if the Site AT Engineer is not available then GNSC FM Team support to be sought) , if not available then proceed for BSS, Txn & Infra AT else reject at that point itself and pass it on to NI team for rectification via FLM Manager. In case of Rejection at this level, NI Team has to reoffer for AT to MS Team.
1.2
Sub Process 2 - Perform AT

In this step, The Overall BSS, Txn, Infra & RF AT will be tracked. Itll comprise of the RF & BSS, Txn & Infra AT Execution, Sub processes and generate respective punch points if there.
1.3
Sub Process 3 RF AT
NPO Team will perform RF AT on sites with 24 hrs KPI availability. Theyll first perform the parameter level check to make sure that the integration of the site took place with Planned Parameters. The Details of the planned setup could be downloaded from the Planning database (TND/RND & Site Integration Package) from the Site Plus Tool. In case there is some deviation, then the NPO Team will raise a CR as per Change Management Process. If everything is as per Planning, theyll plan for physical AT and Drive test of that site. During the course of Physical Visit, NPO team will perform SCFT i.e. MOC, MTC, emergency calls, Incoming and Outgoing SMSs. If SCFT is Ok then proceed else prepare the punch point and pass it on to NI team for rectification via FLM Manager. After successful SCFT, NPO team will perform Physical RF Audit of the site i.e. Antenna Setup, height, orientation, beam width etc. If Physical RF Audit is Ok then proceed else prepare the punch point and pass it on to NI team for rectification via FLM Manager. After successful Physical RF Audit, NPO team will perform Drive Test and desired Optimization. During Optimization they may seek support of Performance Management Process. It may lead to multiple attempts and to obtain better output and more efficient delivery we may seek joint visit of TI Partner from NI Team. After Successful completion of RF AT, NPO Team will submit RF AT document Annexure II to FLM Manager, which will then be incorporated into Site folder for Customer submission.
1.4
Sub Process 4 BSS, Txn & Infra AT

Along With RF AT, FLM Team will carry Out BSS, Txn & Infra AT also. FLM Team will perform AT on sites where there is no internal Alarm. To get the details of Alarm they have to use the OSS Terminal at Circle Level or they can seek help of GNSC FM Team. FLM Team will Plan a Joint visit with NI Team for execution of BSS, Txn & Infra AT. FLM Team will check VSWR, External alarms & Txn Link Budget details (eg. Freq Spot, RSSI etc), for support they have to use the OSS Terminal at Circle Level or they can seek help of GNSC FM Team. If VSWR & External alarm Check is Ok then proceed else prepare the punch point and pass it on to NI team for rectification via FLM Manager. After successful VSWR & External alarm Check, FLM Team will team perform Physical Audit of TI Quality.
- 53 -

If TI quality check is Ok then proceed else prepare the punch point and pass it on to NI team for rectification via FLM Manager. Once TI Quality Check is Ok by FLM Team, Site AT status will be considered as Accepted (it has to be in line with the status of RF AT also). After Successful completion of BSS, Txn & Infra AT, FLM Team will submit BSS, Txn & Infra AT Checklist Annexure III to FLM Manager, which will then be incorporated into Site folder for Customer submission. 1.5
Sub Process 5 Clear Punch Point

FLM Manager will collate all the Punch Points generated during the Site AT and share it with NI Team for rectification. NI Team will revert back with resolution timelines to FLM Manager and the same is to be shared with NPO and his team by FLM Manager. In case of Long resolution timelines of non service affecting punch points which are from Customer Scope of delivery eg. Infra setup, exclusion needs to get signed off from Customer by NI Team to go ahead with AT. NI Team will revert back after clearing the punch points as per declared timelines. FLM Manager will then again share the same with NPO and his Team to perform Site AT.
1.6
Sub Process 6 Report and Close Site AT

After successful completion of Site AT (BSS, Txn, Infra & RF) NI team need to prepare the Site AT completion folder. NI Team has to prepare 2 copies of the Site Folder, which will comprise of all the Site details. NPO Team will submit the RF AT document post RF AT. NI Team has to get a signoff on Site Folder from FLM, NPO & Customer. Post Site AT ( in line with KPI Optimization) NPO Team has to generate a CRF for ZQ removal to GNSC via Change Management Process.

VSWR Measurement procedures

System Return Loss Measurement
Step 1. Make sure that the unit is turned on and in the Measure Match mode. Step 2. Set frequency, scale and unit . Step 3. Calibrate the Site Analyzer Step 4. Connect the Device Under Test to the Site Master. A trace will be displayed on the screen when the Site Master is in the sweep mode. Step 5. Move the marker to the peak value to measure the VSWR value Step 6. Press SAVE DISPLAY name the trace, and press ENTER.
Cable Loss Measurement To measure cable loss, make sure that the cable being tested is unterminated
(not connected to anything at the far end).
Step 1. Check the power of cable to be. Make sure that the cable does not have power greater than +22 dBm. Step 2. Make sure that you have the correct adaptors and connectors and a Bird Calibration Combination (cal
combo). Also make sure that you know the frequency band of the system Step 3. Turn on the Site Analyzer and enter the Measure Match mode Step 4. Set up the Site Analyzer to measure cable loss. Step 5. Select the Freq softkey and set the frequency start and stop to a range that is well beyond the normal range of the antenna Step 6. Connect a phase stable cable to the Site Analyzer antenna test port and connect a Cal Combo to the other end of the cable.

Step 7. Calibrate the Site Analyzer (After calibration, with the load still connected, the output must below -25 dB. If it is not, there is a problem) Step 8. Remove the Cal Combo unit from the cable. Do not disconnect the phase stable cable from the Site Analyzer. Step 9. Connect the phase stable cable to one end of the cable under test. Step 10.Connect the Short connection on the Cal Combo unit to the other end of the cable being tested. Step 11.Wait at least 10 seconds to allow the trace to update. Step 12. Hold the trace on the screen, Step 13. Place a triangle-style marker (mark 1) at the minimum loss point within the frequency band on the trace Step 14.Place a triangle-style marker (mark 2) at the maximum loss point within the frequency band on the trace. Take the average of M1 and M2. This is the average cable loss across the frequency band.
