3G KPIs Principle: S.M.A.R.T

Specific
the KPI has clear and complete definition and
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 Time-bound
the KPI can show the subscriber experience the KPI target should be on the base of time-bound
Page 3
3G KPIs : Specific
Complete KPI definition include the formula combine with the check point or procedure. The example: RRC Connection Successful Rate formula
RRCS_SRService RRCConnect ionSuccess service = RRCConnect 100% ionAttempt service
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

Field Test -> Drive Test
Evaluate the overall network performance, usually on the network pre-launch phase and initial stage of commercial launch. Driver test route is based on cluster, it is involved about 20 sites in one cluster usually.
Test platform Multiple test model UEs can perform different tests.
Data analysis Probe & Assistant is used for analyzing test data
Page 5
3G KPIs : Measurable - Stationary test

Field Test ->stationary Test
Evaluate the system / equipment performance.
System KPI is suggested to be test by stationary: Throughput KPI Delay KPI Quality KPI
Core Network NodeB
Stationary test condition is fixed, and usually used in indoor test scenario.
RNC NodeB
System performance Radio Network performance

Equipment ability Transmission Network construct . Radio network planning Special environment condition
Radio Network KPI test is suggested to be test by drive test Call drop rate Handover successful rate

Pilot Pollution Minimization

Pilot pollution definition:
SHO candidates (A) Active set size (B) If A>B, pilot pollution exists
-60 -65 -70 -75 -80 -85 -90 SC1 SC2 SC3 SC4 SC5 SC6 Not Pilot Pollution
Page 20
Pilot pollution will result in: (1) low signal quality (2) decreased system capacity (3) Call drops easier
Margin

-64

-68
-69 -81
Ways to optimize: (1) Antenna adjustment (e.g. azimuth or down tilt) (2) Pilot power optimization

RF-related Drop Calls

Problems
Poor coverage High interference Poor UL coverage Poor dominance Pilot pollution Missing neighbors
Appearance
Poor RSCP & Ec/Io Poor Ec/Io or RTWP UE max Tx power many SHO events many cells present
Fast change of RF conditions usually causes drop calls, e.g. turning a corner.
Page 22
Para. Optimization Target

To reduce access failures To reduce drop calls To enhance service quality
Para. optimization is an important step after RF optimization
Service quality and network resources utilization will be improved after para. optimization
Page 23
Parameters to be Optimized
CCCH power allocation para. RL maximum power para. Cell re-selection para. Intra-freq. handover para. Inter-RAT handover para. Power control para. Access power para. Other related para.
The influence caused by the cell parameters adjustment should be analyzed carefully.

Suggested solution
A comparative analysis shows that, if excluding the problematic sites, the KPI would improve substantially, say, AMR RAB assignment success rate from 97.79% to 98.09%:
KPIs (including IUB Congestion sites)
RRC Connection Setup Success Rate (CS)(>98%) AMR RAB Assignment Success Rate(>98%) Video Call RAB Assignment Success Rate(>98%) PS64 RAB Assignment Success Rate(>97%) PS128 RAB Assignment Success Rate(>97%) 97.53%(58114/59584) 97.81%(48854/49946) 99.17%(313992/316615)

97.79%(294499/301169)
98.09%(241127/245815)
Suggested action plan:

CE/IUB expansion Perform regular neighbour list check to further tune the performance
98.31%(3314/3371)

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
Page 37
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
