How to use GPRS KPIs ?
Some calculations derived from basic KPIs
What is available ?
U/L and D/L bandwidth (CS1 and CS2) available per cell
What is consumed ?
U/L and D/L Channel Loading Factor - Percentage of the available bandwidth in use
Air Interface Data blocks / Total Available air bandwidth
GPRS Channel Occupancy - Total data transmit time of GPRS channels of cell/
Total time a channel can be used
No. of PDP context activations / subs. - Calculated from GGSN statistics
GPRS Access per PCH - Paging Request messages sent on the PCH of a cell, calculated at OMCR
GPRS Access per RACH - Channel Request messages sent on the RACH of a cell, calculated at OMCR

How to use GPRS KPIs ?
Some calculations derived from basic KPIs
Coding Scheme Usage Ratio - Percentage of coding scheme usage per cell (RLC CS1 / RLC CS2)
Total no. of lost packets in the network - Calculated from statistics at SGSN and GGSN
Application Overhead Factor - IP Data size in Bytes / IP data actually sent in bytes

Summary
2. OSS devices for GSM and specially GPRS need to be more analytic
5. QoS is a big question mark for GPRS and therefore for 3G too
