There are numerous KPI and optimization tools for GSM network, but above tools are widely
used. From BSC we collect traffic data and system performance data, this data represent
salient status of the network, resource utilization, Hardware load etc. After analyzing this data
we can make decision on network planning, network monitoring and network performance.
BSS KPI Issue:
Paging success rate
Call setup delay (Ideal value of call setup time is bellow 3.5 seconds).
Above thirteen issues are important for network performance and this issues are directly
impacts on the user experience about the network. On the other hand every single issue is
depending on the multiple variables and as well as each other. Like low success rate of
Handover (HOSR) decreases Call complete success rate (CCSR) and increases dropped call
rate (CDR). Lower value of KPI depends on flowing:
Hardware failure (BTS/RBS down time or off air time) or Hardware Capacity issues
(limited capacity of hardware responsible for network congestion, it's also decreases
network access rate).
Resource constraint (Frequency Band and Absolute radio frequency channel number -
ARFCN, low height for serving antenna, low transmission capacity).
A GSM KPI’s widely depends on the network parameter; such as azimuth, mechanical tilting,
electrical tilting, feeder length, feeder type and antenna height etc. Mismatch on network
parameter decreases the KPI value. KPI is also depends on the core and transmission network
parameter.
Note: GSM network may classified into three parts, these are
Radio access network (RAN)
Ideal value of KPI is 100, expressed in percentage. In practical it’s not possible to achieve
100. But you should try to increase KPI values as much as possible. A good example of high
KPI is Airtel network in Bangladesh. It’s about 94% in R2 region; R2 region is eastern belt of
country, from Sylhet to Cox’s Bazaar including Comilla and Chittagong.
