Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is the definitions of SBS Key Performance Indicators, which can be used in a uniform way. It is possible to compare Key Performance Indicators of different networks or to give statements about Quality, Performance, Capacity and more. This document will describe the most important Key Performance Indicators relevant for GSM Mobile Networks. All listed formulas are valid for one elementary object and for one elementary measurement period. Evaluation of multiple objects and for multiple measurement periods can be done as described in chapter 1.4.. This KPI document does not provide planning rules for network dimensioning. It only provides input data used for planning tools.

Elementary object This is the smallest measurement object, which can be used for a KPI (e.g. BSC, Cell, TRX). Unit
-
The unit is related to a key performance indicator e.g. seconds, percent or none. The unit kbit expresses 1000 bit. Same for kbit/s
Remark Here you will find additional important information for the key performance indicator. Aggregation The aggregation field will show you how to evaluate the KPI for multiple objects and for multiple elementary periods. There are: Daily aggregation: for every KPI we can calculate: - MAX/min value: the KPI value for the granularity period of one day is recorded. These values are processed to find the peak value, maximum (MAX) or the minimum value (min); - MAX/min Time provides the starting time of the granularity period of the peak value (MAX and min); - Mean/Sum daily value represents the mean/sum of the counter value, used in KPIs formula, collected for the granularity period; it is the aggregation standard1 . - SPBH (Sample at Peak Busy Hour2) is the value of the KPI at reference BH and is calculated only in the busy hour; SPBH Time provides the starting time of the hour of SPBH; Several days aggregation: MAX/MIN value: all the KPI values recorded for each granularity period for each day are processed to find the highest value (MAX) or the minimum value (min); MAX/MIN Time provides the starting time and date of the granularity period of the MAX/min value; TCMAX/TCMIN (Time Coherent MAX/min): for a number of days, counter values for each granularity period for each day are recorded. The values for the same granularity period for each day are averaged, determining the average day. The counter value in the granularity period in this average day give the highest value (TCMAX) or the lower value (TCmin) is taken; TCMAX/TCMIN Time provides the starting time related to TCMAX/TCmin value; Mean/Sum value: all the counter values, used in KPIs formula, recorded for granularity periods for each day are processed to find the mean/sum value, it is the aggregation standard (refer to note 1); ASPBH (Average Sample at Peak Busy Hour): each day the sample at peak busy hour is recorded and then these values are averaged;

-
SPBH is the value of the KPI at reference BH and is calculated only in the busy hour on the number of considered days; SPBH Time and Date provides the starting time of the hour and the date of SPBH; TCSPBH (Time Coherent Sample at Peak Busy Hour): on average day it can be defined the busy hour, and in this peak busy hour the sample is recorded; TCSPBH Time (Time Coherent Sample at Peak Busy Hour Time): provides the starting time of the hour of TCSPBH; Mean daily represents the average over a number of days of the mean daily value; MAX_SPBH: each day the sample at peak busy is recorded and then the max of these values is considered.
For example it can be required to calculate the Handover Success Rate with SPBH aggregation Function referring to BSC Processor Load measurement: KPI(Aggregation Function[Reference variable]) InterCellHOSuccRate(SPBH[BSCPRCLD[2]])
Standard means that the evaluation can be done by adding or averaging the counter values for single objects and single periods in the following way (standard aggregation):
Counter (n, m) =
Counter (i, t)
i,t
i t n m

elementary object elementary period object (sum of elementary objects) measurement period (sum of elementary periods)
The busy hour is the hour in which the reference variable assumes the highest value within one day for a measured object for any performance indicator. When the granularity period is smaller than 1 hour, this value is calculated with the sliding window algorithm. Not in any case it makes sense to evaluate the busy hour for each single performance indicator. It is also possible to make an assumption, that for Random traffic the busy hour for most different measurement objects will correlate. That means the busy hour is derived from a particular performance indicator and can be used for other performance indicators. E.g. the busy hour could be derived from the performance indicator BSC Processor load and could than be used for all other performance indicators.

The KPIs of this section are mainly used for deriving the Call Setup Success Rate (CSSR) and Call Setup Failure Rate (CSFR). The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are mostly related to the Mobile Station point of view, by meaning they will count the events related to Mobile Stations. The message flow of the Immediate Assignment Procedure is listed below. The numbers in brackets will indicate available SBS performance measurements.

This chapter contains the following Number related KPIs: Number of Immediate Assignment Attempts: [1] Number of Immediate Assignment Losses : [2]= [1] [3] Number of Immediate Assignments by BSC procedure : [3] = [1] [2]) Number of AGCH Losses: [4] = [9] * [3] Number of Immediate Assignment Commands sent to MS via AGCH: [5] = [3] [4] = (1- [9]) * [3] Number of Immediate Assignments without MS Seizure : [6] = [5] [7] = [3] [4] - [7] Number of successful Immediate Assignments: [7]
And the following Rate related KPIs: Immediate Assignment Loss Rate : [8] = [2] / [1]
AGCH Loss Rate: [9] = [4] / [3])
Immediate Assignment without MS Seizure Rate : [10] = [6] / [5] Immediate Assignment Success Rate : [11] = [7] / ([1] [6])
(Phantom RACHs are not counted, because they are not related to MS)
The Immediate Assignment Failure Rate can be calculated as follows: Immediate Assignment Failure Rate = 1 - Immediate Assignment Success Rate or Immediate Assignment Failure Rate = Immediate Assignment Loss Rate * AGCH Loss Rate * Immediate Assignment without MS Seizure Rate

The KPIs of this section are mainly used for the derivation of the Call Setup Success Rate (CSSR) and Call Setup Failure Rate (CSFR). The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are mostly related to the Mobile Station point of view, by meaning they will count the events related to Mobile Stations. There exists the following SSS Procedures which used during Call Setup related to the parameter setting in the MSC: Identity Check (IMEI), Authentication (IMSI), Ciphering, Call Control: Setup

Sub-counters are listed in Brackets The different number of failures and failure rates can be evaluated with Siemens MSC counter per MSC. All events are cell independent. Therefore it is sufficient to calculate them for the elementary object MSC. It is also very important to evaluate the number of SDCCH drops during call setup. SDCCH drops mainly occur in the time when SSS Procedures are running. Therefore they can be evaluated together with the SSS Procedure formulas. With SBS performance measurement counter it is possible to calculate the SSS Procedure Success and Failure Rate related to Call Setups.

Formula:
Used param.: NSUCCHPC[1..4, 8 ..12,17..20] Elem. Object: Cell Unit: Remarks: None Partly elimination of systematic error in formula by subtracting the SMS-MT related counter values NSUCCHPC[8] (SDCCH assigned for SMS-MT). The new SMS counters are triggered on arrival of Establish Confirm (SAPI 3) Remark (background information) The counters NSUCCHPC [16,24] must not be subtracted since they mainly are triggered where an SMS MT arrives when the MS has an ongoing TCH call. In that case no immediate TCH assignment in connection with the SMS MT takes place at all and thus an elimination of SMSes in formula 3.1 by subtracting "- NSUCCHPC [16,24]" is not necessary. Remaining systematic error: The formula has a small systematic error when "Direct TCH Assignment is enabled. For that scenario the counters NSUCCHPC [16,24] might also be triggered when an SMT MT arrives for an idle MS, which requests an immediate TCH assignment as paging response. The number of these concurrencies has in principle to be subtracted in formula 3.1. But NSUCCHPC [16,24] does no distinguish between arrival of SMS MT for an idle MS and for an MS with ongoing TCH call (the call processing trigger point used for NSUCCHPC [16,24] has no knowledge about the history of the existing TCH assignment).

Information System
The observed cell is the cell where the call establishment has been started (immediate assignment procedure). By aid of the feature Directed Retry a TCH may be assigned in a cell different from the observed cell. Also in that case the success is counted for the observed cell. The Assignment procedure is used to allocate a TCH. Because of new feature the Assignment Success Rate is not easy to evaluate. The Directed Retries have also to be considered. The concept how to evaluate Directed Retries for the Assignment Success Rate is comparable with the Handover Success Rate, where only outgoing Handover will be considered. Therefore all Directed Retries for an observed cell have to be counted, which where started in the observed cell and were successful in any target cell with neighbor cell measurements. Under this assumption the Assignment Success Rate can be evaluated as follows: Assignment Success Rate = (Assignment Complete [4] + Successful outgoing redirected Calls [3]) / Assignment Attempts [1]
This chapter contains the following Number related KPIs: Number of Assignment Attempts: [1], see chapter 0. Number of Assignment Failures: [5] ,see chapters 4.2(a), (b), (c) Number of successful Assignments = [3]+[4], see chapter 4.3 Number of Queuing Failures: [6], see chapter 4.2(d) This chapter contains the following Rate related KPIs: Assignment Failure Rate, see chapter 4.4 Assignment Success Rate, see chapter 4.5 "Assignment success rate when radio resources available, see chapter 4.6(a)

Phantom RACHs are channel required messages not foreseen for the observed cell. The Immediate Assignment procedure to allocate an SDCCH/TCH is then started, but will not be successful, because no MS will reply with a SABM message and therefore a BTS Timer will expire. Phantom RACHs are not considered as call setup attempts. Systematic error A mobile station may also not answer to an IMM ASS Command due to bad radio conditions. Such radio events will not be considered as call setup attempts Be aware of parameter settings for RACHBT and RXLEVAMI The Immediate Assignment failures are independent to the different call types (MOC, MTC, Locupd, SMS, ...).

This can only occur when T_MSRFPCI is not well adjusted (< T10). Remark: in case of expiry of T10 the BSC sends ASS FAIL to the MSC in that case NRCLRREQ is not triggered

Systematic failures in the formulas: Inter BSC handover with reversion to old cell: In that case the MSC receives HO_Failure from the old BSC and sends Clear Command (equipment failure) the target BSC which triggers NRCLRCMD[4] for the target cell -> this effect slightly improve the CallDropRate by pretending that more call have existed than in reality. Inter BSC directed retry with no successful TCH seizure: In that case the BSC send assignment Failure and triggers Tassfail[9,14]; this lead also to a Clear Command (Call Control) which triggers NRCLRCMD[2] -> this effect slightly improve the CallDropRate by pretending that more call have existed than in reality. Expiry of timer T_MSRFPCI during assignment: In that case NRCLRREQ is triggered. This can only occur when T_MSRFPCI is not well adjusted (< T10) -> this effect slightly deteriorates the call drop rate (numerator and denominator are increased) There can be systematic errors caused by timer settings (Ny1, T3105, TTrau, TSync, T_MSRFPCI, T8). If the feature SDCCH Handover is activated, then this will lead to a systematic error. -> this effect slightly deteriorates the call drop rate (numerator and denominator are increased) Recommendation: Drop per Erlang/hour is recommended to be used for quality assessment of radio network performance. Reason: the call drop rate is depending on the average call duration. The call drop rate is proportional to the call duration.

Description:
This indicator will give you the TCH seizure blocked rate by meaning the rate where new TCH Seizure Attempts could not be handled by the observed cell, because all traffic channels were occupied / blocked. TCH seizure attempts for HO and Directed Retry are included in the formulas. Therefore from the perspective of a mobile subscriber, the call setup might become successful by assigning a TCH in another cell through (e.g. by applying the feature Directed Retry) even when a TCH blocking is counted. I.e. the KPIs consider the TCH access on cell level but not on connection level. Performance Indicators for waiting systems are also provided and will consider only the TCH Seizure attempts discarded from the TCH queue.

Fig. 9 Overview Common Control Channels The SBS supports several channel combinations resulting in different capacities for the CCCHs. Although a certain channel combination can serve the expected RACH traffic load, another channel combination may be necessary. The RACH is only the uplink part of the CCCH. The downlink parts (AGCH, PCH) may need a higher capacity. Therefore, the configuration of CCCH is determined by the capacity needed for the downlink channels. The RACH configuration is not critical. The PCH and the AGCH share the same TDMA frame mapping (modulo 51) when combined onto a basic physical radio channel. PCH channels may be used as AGCH channels but not vice versa. However, to ensure a mobile a satisfactory access to the system, there is a control parameter (NBLKACGR) to define a fixed number of AGCH blocks in the 51 multiframe (a block consists of 4 consecutive TDMA frames). This number reduces the number of available paging blocks. In all cells where the advanced speech call item (ASCI) service is enabled, a notification channel (NCH) is defined. A parameter (NOCHBLKN) indicates the number of CCCH blocks to be used for the NCH channel. This logical channel is mapped onto contiguous blocks reserved for AGCHs, i.e. if this NCH is used, it takes capacity from the blocks reserved for AGCH channels.
For the number of available CCCH frames, the following is defined: If for example a radio timeslot is configured as MBCCHC (main BCCH combined), then the allocated channel combination looks like this: FCCH + SCH + BCCH + CCCH + 4 (SDCCH + SACCH) The timeslot will then run in the 51-Multiframe organization:

Fig. 10 Structure for an exemplary common control channel combination In the downlink direction, for this example, there are 12 frames available for CCCH, which can be used as PCH, NCH, AGCH frames. But with the parameter NBLKACGR (number of blocks reserved for AGCH) some blocks can be inhibited for paging. A CCCH block consists of 4 consecutive TDMA frames (see above figure). In the uplink direction, for this example, there are 27 frames available for CCCH, which can be used as RACH frames. Note: The NCH channel is not considered, since Notification messages are used only by a very limited number of customers. Additionally, the portion of NCH channels is fixed by configuration and does not depend on any traffic load situations. Therefore, for dimensioning of the required downlink capacity of CCCH channels, only the load of the AGCH and PCH is important. If NCH channels are configured but not used (accessed), this capacity is available for AGCH channels.

Object: Cell Unit: Remarks: None It has to be considered that the NINVRACH does not represent the total amount of all RACH signals that are discarded by the BTS! The Um layer 1 SW subsystem of the BTS continuously observes the signals received on the RACH slots. As even without any real MS RACH access there are always at least some noise signals on the RACH, the task of the BTS layer 1 SW subsystem is to evaluate the received signal with respect to specific criteria that classify a signal as 'noisy' or 'not noisy'. These checks are performed prior to the evaluation of the criteria 'excessive distance', 'signal level too weak' and 'CRC checksum error'. Signals classified as 'noisy' are immediately discarded and are not counted by NINVRACH (!). An increase of the NINVRACH counts and thus an increase of the Invalid RACH Rate as calculated by the above formula does not mean a worse performance of the BTS. Instead, variations of the NINVRACH counts and variations of the 'Invalid RACH Rate' between the different sites mainly depend on the radio environment conditions, i.e. increased values of NINVRACH and this KPI are no indication for a poor system performance. Moreover, both figures depend on characteristics of the used TRX HW (old HW usually shows lower counter values, although the performance of the newer HW is better!). For this reason the above formula cannot be regarded as a System Performance Indicator but rather provides, taking into account which TRX HW is used, a rough idea about the radio conditions that influence the RACH performance!

Fig. 11 Overview Packet Common Control Channels The SBS supports several channel combinations resulting in different utilization for the PCCCHs. The PRACH is the uplink part of the PCCCH. The downlink parts (PAGCH, PPCH) may need a different capacity. For packet oriented (PO) services the configuration of PCCCH is independent for uplink and downlink channels. The PRACH configuration is uncritical. The PPCH, PNCH and the PAGCH share the same TDMA frame mapping (modulo 52) when combined onto a basic physical radio channel. The message header distinguishes them. Blocks available for PPCHs may be used as PAGCHs, PNCHs but not vice versa. However, to ensure a mobile a satisfactory access to the system, there is a control parameter to define a fixed number of PAGCH blocks in the 52 multiframe. This number reduces the number of available paging blocks. A packet notification channel (PNCH), belonging to PCCCHs, is defined for notifying a group of MSs of an upcoming Point-to-Multipoint (PtM) transaction. This logical channel is mapped onto contiguous blocks, which can also be used for PPCHs. In contrast to the circuit switched (CS) services, for packet oriented (PO) services the free (not accessed) blocks of the PCCCHs can be used also as packet data traffic channels (PDTCHs). This is because PCCCH, PDTCH and PACCH can be operated in frame stealing mode on the same PDCH. For the number of defined PCCCH frames, the following is defined:

Fig. 12 Structure for an exemplary packet common control channel combination The number of all defined PCCCH channels is dependent on the channel configuration defined by the parameter GDCH (GPRSDedicatedChannel). It can have the values PCCCH and PBCCH. If PCCCH is selected, then 12 blocks are available for PCCCH (see above figure). A block consists of 4 consecutive TDMA frames. If PBCCH is selected, then additionally the parameter BSPBBLK (number of blocks allocated for PBCCH) is relevant, because it reduces the number of available PCCCH blocks by the number of blocks reserved for PBCCH (see above figure). In downlink direction all defined PCCCH blocks can be used as PAGCH, PPCH, PNCH, PDTCH, PACCH. But with the parameter BPAGCHR (number of blocks reserved for PAGCH, PDTCH, PACCH) some blocks can be inhibited for paging. In uplink direction all defined PCCCH blocks can be used as PRACH, PDTCH, PACCH. But with the parameter BPRACHR (number of blocks reserved for the PRACH channel) the number of blocks being used for PRACH can be restricted. Note: The following channels are not considered: PNCH, since the Packet Notification message is currently not supported by the call processing SW. PDTCH, PACCH, since these channels are mapped onto PCCCH channels (uplink/downlink) only, if there is spare capacity, i.e. in case of PCCCH channels being not fully loaded with common control channels. Therefore, for dimensioning of the required capacity of PCCCH channels, only the load of the PAGCH and PPCH (downlink) and PRACH (uplink) is important.

Occurrences per hour = (1 / hour) In case of low number of TBFs and short TBF duration (e.g. mainly GMM and SM) related data transfer on radio interface the formulas produce an inaccurate result under certain circumstances. Reasons: NACTTBF[2,4] is sampled on a second basis (GMM and SM related TBFs might be shorter) NACTTBF[2,4] is a real number with 2 digits after decimal point (x.yy). In case of low number (and short duration) of TBFs during a granularity period the result might be 0.01 or 0.00. Alternative formula (proposal):
TBFDrFrequUL = TBFDrAllCauseUL *
Advantage: Formula works also In case of low number of TBFs and short TBF duration Disadvantage: Formula might produce inaccurate result when considerable amount of TBFs are established (triggering of NACTTBF[1,3]) and released (triggering of MEANTBFL[1,2]) in different measurement intervals.

Description : This indicator provides the mean LLC throughput on the air interface per active user, i.e. per TBF. Retransmissions are excluded; therefore only the amount of data transmitted on behalf of the application layer (here LLC) is considered The indicator provides the mean throughput related to a single subscriber, i.e. it provides the throughput the subscriber (or the application in the subscribers mobile) will experience. The uplink\downlink directions are separated. Indicators are provided for the throughput depending on the used Coding Scheme and in addition for the throughput averaged over all Coding Schemes. The KPI for the throughput depending on the used Coding Scheme is based on the model that an observed TBF has used that Coding Scheme throughout its life time complete granularity period. This is the achieved throughput if a TBF were operated exclusively in that Coding Scheme during its life time Use case Network planning comparison of user throughput between cells comparison of user throughput between Coding Schemes monitoring of trends (a) UserDataThrTBFAvUL = (b) UserDataThrTBFAvDL =

Elem. Object: Cell Unit: Remark: kbit per second
Interpretation of KPI result: The observed throughput per user might be unexpectedly low due to the following phenomenon: The release of a DL TBF is normally delayed for 1,5 seconds (default value of configuration parameter TIMTBFREL). o During its lifetime a DL TBF may contain once or several times in the state delayed TBF release. o During that TBF state no LLC data are transmitted. The amount of short duration TBFs for GMM (GPRS Mobility management) and SM (Session management) might be high compared to TBF which serve for transmission of end-to-end user data o The duration of GMM and SM TBFs is typically 0.3 seconds. During that time typically only one ore two RLC/MACC blocks are transmitted (i.e. 20ms or 40ms of LLC PDU transmission time). o Background: At the begin an at the end of the TBF lifetime no LLC data are transmitted. During these periods only RLC/MAC signaling takes place: e.g. MS confirmation of TBF establishment, confirmation of last received RLC/MAC block. o This effect has more affect on the throughput of short-lived TBFs (GMM, SM) as on long-lived TBFs (end-to-end data transmission)

DL throughput: The retransmitted throughput in DL direction is included in the measurement MUTHRF (UL); therefore REMUTHRF (UL) has to be subtracted UL throughput: Retransmissions due to bad radio link quality are not included in measurement MUTHRF (UL). Systematic error in formula: The MS may also retransmit a previously transmitted RLC/MAC block when nothing else has to be transmitted in UL direction. In that case the BSC will receive certain RLC/MAC block more than once. The counter MUTHRF (UL ) registers each of these receipts. Therefore UserThrUmCellUL contains a systematic error. For short duration TBF (GMM/SM activities) the error is larger than for medium or long duration TBFs (e,g, TBF for WAP session or ftp).

MSC7 a PDCH can transport 50 RCL/MAC PDUs per second in each direction (UL and DL). I.e. one PDU represents a transmission time of 20ms. In other words: one PDU per second equals to 2% occupation time of a PDCH. For MSC7 .. MSC 9 an RLC/MAC PDU occupies only half a radio block. I.e. in that case one RLC/MAC PDU represents a transmission time of only 10ms. In other words: one PDU per second equals to 1% occupation time of a PDCH. For BR7 NTRAPDU does not include the RLC/MAC signaling. Therefore the number of signaling PDUs has to be added. That number will be calculated from the signaling throughput (MSTHRH) by assuming that each signaling PDU has exactly a length of 20bytes (maximum length of CS1 frame)

Used param.: NMSUTRAS[1,2], NMSUREC[1,2], Granularity in minutes Elem. Object: Cell Unit: Remarks: Erlang
MSU_Length : Average length of a MSU. This value cannot be measured with the existing scanners. An assumption has to be made with the help of traffic models. At the present message structure the MSU has an average length about 35byte. With introduction or extension of services (for example SMS) this value will increase in future.
