12. KPI DEFINITION AND GENERAL FORMULA

(a) CSSR (Call Setup Success Rate)
Definition: Rate of calls going until TCH successful assignment
Formula: CSSR = (1- SDC Congestion)*(1-SDCDrop)*(1- TCH Assignment Block)*(1-TCH Assignment
Failure)

(b) SCR
Definition: Rate of calls going until normal release that is not interrupted by SDCCH DROP, neither by
assignment failures, and neither by CALL DROP.
Formula : SCR = CSSR * (1 TCH_Drop_Rate)

(c) Call Drop Rate

Definition: Rate of all losses of TCH connections during a call in relation to the number of successful
Call Setups
Formula : Call_Drop_ Rate =

TCH_RFloss es + TCH_MiscDr op
TCH_Normal _Seizure + HO Inc - HO OutGoing

* 100%

(d) HOSR (Hand Over Success Rate)

Definition: Successful internal and external outgoing handovers of total number of internal and
external outgoing handover attempts
Formula : Hand_Over_ Success_Ra te =

HO_Outgoin g_Success_ BSC_or_MSC _Controlle d

HO_Attempt

* 100%

(e) SDCCH Block Rate

Definition: SDCCH congestion of total number of SDCCH seizure attempts
Formula : SDCCH_Block_Rate =

SDCCH_Blocked
SDCCH_Attempts

* 100%

(f) SDCCH Drop Rate

Definition: Dropped SDCCH connections of total number of SDCCH connections without TCH
congestion
Formula : SDCCH_Drop_Rate =

SDCCH_RF_Losses + SDCCH_Misc_Drop
SDCCH_Seizures

* 100%

(g) TCH Assignment Block Rate

Definition: Rate of TCH unsuccessful seizures during assignment procedure due to congestion
Formula : TCH_Assignment_Block_Rate =

TCH_Blocks
* 100%
TCH_Normal_Attempts

(h) TCH assignment Failure Rate (excluding blocking)

Definition: Rate of RTCH seizure failed (system + radio) during normal assignment procedure over
the total amount of RTCH request for normal assignment procedure
Formula : TCH_Assignment_Failure_Rate =

TCH_Fail_Radio + TCH_Fail_BSS
TCH_Normal_Attempts

* 100%

(i) EMD (Erlang Minute per Drop

Definition: Total of Erlang minutes (TCH occupation) in one period measurement per drop call
(after TCH
Assignment).

Formula : EMD =

Traffic(Er lang) * 60
TCH_RF_Los ses + TCH_Misc_D rop
