Performance Monitoring
Carrier aggregation performance is reflected in existing Integrity KPIs:
Throughput
The downlink throughput is the speed at which packets can be transferred once
the first packet has been scheduled on the air interface.
Latency
The one-way latency in downlink is the time it takes to schedule the first packet on
the air interface, determined from the time it was received in RBS.
Packet loss
No impact expected.
Note: Depending on where data is measured it will show different aspects of
carrier aggregation. The following slides will explain this further
CA is performed at MAC layer
PDCP and RLC are not aware whether a certain packet will be transmitted in the
PCell or in the SCell(s)
All counters for RLC and above are registered on the users PCell.
Services are observed using RLC and above
All counters for MAC and below are registered on the cell where the data is
transmitted.
Cell efficiency is observed using MAC and below
