Purpose

Due to the rapid expansion o


multimedia applications, the
downlink peak data rate now
exceeds 100 Mbit/s. The
Long Term Evolution (LTE)
standard was developed to
meet this
increasing demand. A set of
KPIs have been defined to
evaluate this new system's
performance, especially that
of the evolved Radio Access
Network (eRAN).

2 Accessibility KPIs

Accessibili

ty KPIs

Accessibility KPIs are used


to measure the probability
that a user accesses the
network and
requests services in the
given operating conditions.
The service provided by the
E-UTRAN is
defined as EPS/E-RABs.
(EPS is short for evolved
packet system, and E-RAB
is short for
E-UTRAN radio access
bearer). Radio Resource
Control (RRC) connections
and System
Architecture Evolution
(SAE) setups are the main
procedures whose
performance is measured
by accessibility KPIs.

2.1 RRC
Setup
Success Rate
(Service)
2.1.1
Description

According to 3GPP TS 36.331,


the RRC connection setup
procedure is triggered by
different
causes, which are identified in
the "establishmentCause" field
in an RRC Connection Request
message as emergency,
highPriorityAccess, mt-Access,
mo-Signaling, mo-Data, or
delayTolerantAccess-v1020. The
UE sets the establishmentCause
in accordance with the
information it receives from
upper layers. The mo-signaling
cause is a signaling-related
cause.
All other causes are servicerelated causes. The accessibility
KPI evaluates the RRC setup
success rate using servicerelated causes in a cell or radio
network.
The RRC Setup Success Rate
(Service) KPI is calculated
based on the counters measured
at
the eNodeB when the eNodeB
receives an RRC Connection
Request message from the UE,
as
shown in Figure 2-1. The
number of RRC connection
attempts is collected by the
eNodeB at
measurement point A, and the
number of successful RRC
connections is counted at
measurement point C. The
related counters are discussed in
chapter 9 "Counter List."

2.2.1 Description
The RRC Setup Success Rate
(Signaling) KPI indicates the
RRC setup success rate of the
signaling-related cause (mosignaling) in a cell or radio
network.
Like the RRC Setup Success
Rate (service), the RRC Setup
Success Rate (Signaling) KPI is
used to calculate the RRC setup
success rate only when the
"establishmentCause" field is set
to mo-signaling in a cell or radio
network.

2.3 S1SIG
Connection
Setup
Success Rate
2.3.1
Description

The S1SIG Connection


Setup Success Rate KPI
indicates the success rate o
signaling
connection setups over the
S1 interface. This KPI
includes counters such as
the number of
setup attempts of S1
signaling connections
related to UEs and the
number of successful setup

of S1 signaling connections
related to UEs.

The number of setup times


of S1 signaling connections

related to UEs is incremented by


1
each time when the eNodeB
sends an INITIAL UE
MESSAGE to the MME or
receives the
first message from the MME.
INITIAL UE MESSAGE is the
first S1 message that the
eNodeB sends to the MME. It
contains the NAS configuration
information related to UEs,
based on which the MME sets
up S1 signaling connections for
UEs. The first S1 message sent
by the MME may be INITIAL
CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST,
DOWNLINK NAS
TRANSPORT, or UE
CONTEXT RELEASE
COMMAND. Receiving any of
these messages
indicates that the S1 signaling
connection is set up
successfully.
As shown at point A in Figure 22, the L.S1Sig.ConnEst.Att
counter is incremented by 1
when the eNodeB sends an
INITIAL UE MESSAGE to the
MME.
As shown at point B in Figure 22, the L.S1Sig.ConnEst.Succ
counter is incremented by 1
when the eNodeB receives the
first S1 message sent from an
MME after sending an INITIAL
UE MESSAGE to the MME.

2 Accessibility KPIs

According to 3GPP TS
36.300 and 3GPP TS
36.413, the counters related
to this KPI are
measured when the eNodeB
receives an E-RAB Setup
Request message or an
Initial Context
Setup Request message
from the mobility
management entity (MME)
as shown in Figure 2-2
and Figure 2-3. The E-RAB
is part of the Evolved
Packet Service (EPS)
bearer. According to
3GPP TS 23.401, an ERAB is one or more
Service Data Flows
between UE and an EPC.
The
E-RAB identity remains
unique for the UE even if
the UE-associated logical
S1-connection
(S1 bearer) is released
during periods of user
inactivity. The E-RAB
consists of both the
E-RAB radio bearer
(between the eNodeB and
the UE, which is the same
as the radio bearer
defined in the EPS bearer)
and the corresponding S1
bearer (between the
eNodeB and the
MME).

Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3


show two scenarios: MME
initiated E-RAB setup
(Scenario A) and
UE-triggered E-RAB setup
(Scenario B). Scenario B is
triggered by the radio
bearer setup.
Initial Context Setup
Request messages are
exchanged between the
eNodeB and the MME. If
the E-RAB Setup Request
message or Initial Context
Setup Request message
requires
multiple E-RAB setups at
the same time, specific
counters are incremented
for each E-RAB.

Figure 2-3 Measurement


points for UE-triggered ERAB setup

The eNodeB collects the


number of E-RAB
connection setup attempts
at measurement point
A, and the number of
successful E-RAB
connections is counted at
measurement point B, as
shown in Figure 2-2 and
Figure 2-3. Note that the
eNodeB needs to specify
the Quality of
Service (QoS) Class
Identifier (QCI) for VoIP in
the E-RAB setup message.

The voice service can be


identified by the QoS
information, particularly
the QCI in the
E-RAB Setup Request
message. In general, QCI 1
is assigned to the voice
service.

2.4.2 Definition

The E-RAB Setup Success


Rate (VoIP) KPI is defined
in Table 2-4. Note that the
number of

E-RAB connection setup


attempts (VoIP) and the number
of successful E-RAB setup
connections (VoIP) are collected
based on the descriptions in
section 2.4.1 "Description."

Retainabilit

y KPIs

Retainability KPIs indicate


the network's capability to
retain services requested by
a user for a
desired duration once the
user is connected to the
services. Retainability KPI
are important in
evaluating whether the
system can maintain a
certain level of service
quality.

3.1 Call Drop


Rate (VoIP)
3.1.1
Description

The Call Drop Rate (VoIP)


KPI indicates the call drop
rate of the VoIP services in
a cell or
radio network. A VoIP call
drop occurs when the VoIP
E-RAB is abnormally
released. Each
E-RAB is associated with
QoS information. Usually,
the QCI of VoIP services is

1.
An E-RAB consists of a radio
bearer and a corresponding S1
bearer. Any abnormal release of
either bearer causes a call drop.
A release is defined as abnormal
by its release cause
according to 3GPP TS 36.413.
Two procedures can be
performed to release E-RABs:
E-RAB Release Indication and
UE
Context Release Request, as
shown in Figure 3-1.

When the eNodeB sends an


E-RAB Release Indication
message to the MME or a
UE Context
Release Request message t
the MME as shown in
Figure 3-1, the abnormal E

counter is incremented if
the bearer to be released
carries data and the release
cause is not
"Normal Release",
"Detach", "User Inactivity"
"CS Fallback triggered",
"UE Not Available

Mobility

KPIs

Mobility KPIs are used


to evaluate E-UTRAN
mobility performance,
which is critical to
customer experience.
Three categories of
mobility KPIs are
defined based on the
following
handover types: intrafrequency, interfrequency, and interRadio Access
Technology (RAT).

4.1 IntraFrequency
Handover
Out
Success
Rate
4.1.1
Description

The Intra-Frequency
Handover Out Success
Rate KPI indicates the

intra-frequency handover
success rate from the local cell
or radio network to the intrafrequency neighboring cell or
radio network. An intrafrequency handover (HO)
includes both inter-eNodeB and
intra-eNodeB scenarios.
The intra-eNodeB HO scenario
is shown in Figure 4-1. The
attempted HO counters are
collected at point B. When the
eNodeB sends an RRC
Connection Reconfiguration
message
to the UE, it performs a
handover. The eNodeB counts
the number of times an intraeNodeB
intra-frequency HO is attempted
in the source cell. The successful
HO counters are collected
at point C. The eNodeB counts
the number of successful intraeNodeB intra-frequency HOs
in the source cell when the
eNodeB receives the RRC
Connection Reconfiguration
Complete
message from the UE.

Figure 4-1 Scenario


for intra-frequency
intra-eNodeB handove

Two scenarios are


available for the intereNodeB HO, as shown
in Figure 4-2 and
Figure 4-3.
The HO attempts are
collected at point B.
When the sourceeNodeB (S-eNodeB)
sends an
RRC Connection
Reconfiguration
message to the UE, it
decides to perform an
inter-eNodeB
HO. In this KPI, the
source and target cells
of the handover operate
at the same frequency.
The number of intereNodeB intrafrequency HO attempts
is measured at the
source cell.

The number of
successful intereNodeB intrafrequency HOs is
collected at point C, as
shown
in Figure 4-2 and
Figure 4-3. During a
handover with the
source and target cells
at the same
frequency, the number
of successful intereNodeB intrafrequency HOs is
measured in the

source cell. This measurement


occurs when the S-eNodeB
receives a UE Context Release
message from the target-eNodeB
(T-eNodeB) or a UE Context
Release Command message
from the MME, indicating that
the UE T-eNodeB is successfully
attached to the T-eNodeB.

Description

The Inter-Frequency
Handover Out Success
Rate KPI indicates the
inter-frequency
handover
success rate from the
local cell or radio
network to the interfrequency neighboring
cell or
radio network. Note
that the measurement

points for the associated


counters are the same as
those for the intra-frequency HO
scenario described in section
4.1.1 "Description." The target
LTE cell operates at a frequency
different from that of the source
LTE cell, which is the only
difference between this KPI and
the Intra-Frequency Handover
Out Success Rate KPI.
As shown in Figure 4-1, if the
source and target cells operating
at different frequencies are
controlled by the same eNodeB,
the eNodeB counts the number
of intra-eNodeB
inter-frequency HO attempts at
point B and the number of
successful intra-eNodeB
inter-frequency HOs at point C
in the source cell. As shown in
Figure 4-2, if the handover
source and target cells are
operating at different
frequencies, the eNodeB counts
the number
of inter-eNodeB inter-frequency
HO attempts at point B and the
number of successful
intra-eNodeB inter-frequency
HOs at point C in the source
cell.

4.2.2 Definition

Description
The Uplink Preschedule
Resource Block
Occupied Rate KPI
indicates the percentage
of
uplink RBs allocated to
UEs for pre-scheduling.
The Uplink Preschedule
Resource Block
Occupied Rate KPI can
be used to evaluate the
impact on uplink RB
usage caused by
pre-scheduling.

If pre-scheduling is
enabled, when there are
remaining uplink RBs in
a cell, the eNodeB
allocates uplink RBs to
UEs that have not sent a
bandwidth request to
reduce the uplink
service delay of these
UEs.

Traffic

KPIs

Traffic KPIs are used


to measure the traffic
volume on the LTE
Radio Access
Network (RAN).
Based on traffic
types, the traffic KPI
are classified into the
following categories:
radio
bearers, downlink
traffic volume, and
uplink traffic volume

8.1 Radio
Bearers

8.1.1
Description

The Radio Bearers


KPI consists of ten
sub-KPIs. One KPI
corresponds to the
total of radio
bearers and the other
nine correspond to
nine QCIs. This set o
sub-KPIs indicates
the average

number of radio bearers in a cell


or radio network. The radio
bearer for each QCI is based on
the number of active RRC
connections for each QCI,
according to the QCI defined in
the QoS
information.

8.1.2 Definition
The Radio Bearers KPIs are
defined in Table 8-1 and include
ten different sub-KPIs. The
