NO KPI KPI - Explanation

1 SDCCH_Block_Rate
It reflects the SDCCH collisions due to
insufficient resources. The congestion ratio on
SDCCH to a certain extent, reflects the usage
of the SDCCH.
2 TCH_Blocking_Rate
Indicates the ratio of the number of failed
assignments or handovers due to no available
TCHs to the number of TCH seizure requests
3 Call Drop Ratio
Call Drop Ratio on TCH indicates the ratio of
the number of call drops to the number of
successful TCH seizures after the BSC
successfully assigns TCHs to MSs.
4
Hand
Over_Success_Rate
Success ratio of handover is the ratio of the
total number of successful handovers to the
total number of handover requests
5
CSSR_Call Setup
Success Rate
CSSR, which reflects the probability of
successful calls initiated by the MS.
the Abis interface and the A interface
Transmission
Unavoidable inter-network interference, interference from
repeaters, or high and unavoidable intra-network interference
caused by the aggressive frequency reuse
Interference
Blind coverage area, low c
Effect of KPI on our NetWork
If the congestion ratio on SDCCH is high, Subscriber
cannot access the signaling channel, and thus the call
atempt fails
If TCH Block rate is High the network quality is degraded and TCH
asignment, Hand Over failure etc can occur
Factors affecting Call Drop Rate:
1. Improper coverage 2. Interference 3. unstable transmission
links over Abis or A 4. Equipments 5.. Antenna System - High
VSWR in feeder 6. Improper or missing Neighbor defenitions etc
can cause call drop.
Handover is to ensure the call continuity, improve the speech
quality, and reduce the cross interference in the network, thus
providing better services for the subscribers.
If the value of this counter is low, the MS is not likely to
successfully initiate a call, thus severely affecting the user
experience.
Poor transmission quality and unstable transmission links over
the Abis interface and the A interface
Transmission
Unavoidable inter-network interference, interference from
repeaters, or high and unavoidable intra-network interference
caused by the aggressive frequency reuse
Interference
Blind coverage area, low c
How to Improve these KPI
Proper defenition of SDCCH at OMCR. Normally 2 TS are
defined as SDCCH for a sector with 2 TRX. It can be
increased if there is no TCH Blocking. If TCH Blocking is
there along with SDCCH Congestion TRX to be physically
added to that sector.
If TCH Block rate is high, the network quality is degraded
and capacity expansion is required ie TRX addition is
required.
Proper defenition of Parameters in OMCR, Neighbor
defenitions. Coverage and Call drop can be measired using
Drive Test. Proper orentation of antennas, Proper Nbr
defenitions, Avoid interference with propoer BCCH
planning etc can reduce call drops
Proper defenition of Parameters in OMCR, Neighbor
defenitions. HO can be checked using Drive Test. , Proper
Nbr defenitions - 2G to 2G and 2G to 3G,Proper BCCH/BSIC
planning , HO parameter optimization etc can reduce HO
Failure.

KPI - Explanation
Radio Resource Control (RRC) Set up succes Rate . Reason for
low RRC Setup Success Rate are poor coverage, Pilot pollution,
Congestion, Hardware problems , Core N/W problems etc
Based on Different services Different AMR Set up Success
rates are there.
1. AMR RAB setup Success Ratio - Voice Call
2. CS64 RAB Setup Success Ratio - Video Call
3. HSDPA RAB Setup Success Ratio - HSDPQ
4.HSUPA RAB Setup Success Ratio - HSUPA
1. Speech Call Drop rate
2. CS64 Video Call Drop rate
3. HSDPA Call Drop rate
Soft Hand Over Success rate
Inter RAT Hand Over success Rate - ie 3G to 2G and reverse.
Customers will not be able to initiate both voice and data calls
Peak DL channel element usage per sector
Peak UL channel element usage per sector
Effect of KPI on our NetWork
Capacity has to be increased by adding additional
sites where resources are less. Optimization of
parameters like neighbor , inproving coverage etc can
improve this KPI
Poor coverage, Missing Nbr, Pilot polution, Loss os
Synchronisation, Hardware issues etc are causes for
Call drops.
Poor coverage, Missing Nbr, Loss os Synchronisation,
Hardware issues etc are causes for Soft HO failure
Missing 2G relations, Non availability of 2G resources,
Loss of synchronisation, Delayed IRAT Trigger, 2G/3G
Neighbor parameter mismatch etc are reasons for
IRAT HO failure.

Explanation
TheReceived Signal Code Power(RSCP) is the collected RF energy after the correlation / descrambling
process, usually given in dBm. Only this code power is of interest for the receiver stages when judging on the
quality of the reception
This is the ratio of the received energy per chip (= code bit) and the interference level, usually given in dB. In case
no true interference is present, the interference level is equal to the noise level.
Soft handover is a category of handover procedures where the radio links are added and abandoned in such
manner that the UE always keeps at least one radio link to the UTRAN. In Soft Handover, the UE connection
consists of one , two or three radio links established with cells belonging to different RBSs.
Is a type of handover that involves one or more cells of the same Node-B
Active Set consists of group of cells that takes part in soft/softer handover & measure by UE. Typical size of
Active set is 3 or 4 & generally a standard practice in all WCDMA networks
When the number of strong cells exceeds the active set size, there is pilot pollution in the area. Typically the
active set size is 3, so if there are more than 3 strong cells then there is pilot pollution
