3G KPIs Principle: S.M.A.R.T
the KPI has clear and complete definition and
Specific
formula, include check point and procedure. KPIs are
measurable by given condition, Measurable
measurement equipment and procedure. all the KPIs should be
reachable, it is refer to the Attainable
commercial network.
Relevant the KPI can show the subscriber experience
Time-bound
the KPI target should be on the base of time-bound
3G KPIs : Specific
Complete KPI definition include the formula combine with the check point
or procedure.
The example: RRC Connection Successful Rate
n formula
RRCConnect
ionSuccess
service
RRCS_SR = 100%
Service RRCConnect
ionAttempt
service
n Check point
The number of RRC Connection Attempt is A1
or A2?
A2 represent the effective number of RRC
Connection Attempt.
3G KPIs : Measurable - Drive Test

for analyzing test data
3G KPIs : Measurable - Stationary test
System KPI is suggested to be

The impact of missing neighbours
DL R99 throughput has been impacted by the interference generated by missing
neighbors, mostly concerning the new sites that had been recently put on air
Areas with low throughput corresponds to bad Ec/Io figures and HHO to 2G
Low throughput
UE handover to GSM
Other causes
In addition to coverage and missing neighbour causes, the HSDPA
minimum throughput problem is due to:
DT route crosses the IUR area where HSDPA calls are reconfigured to DCH
(H2D)
UE moves from a non-hotspot to a hotspot site in HSDPA connected mode
