Executive summary
This document defines the Radio GSM, GPRS & EDGE key performance indicators of the Orange Group,
featuring KPIs for the different official FT Group suppliers: Alcatel, Nortel, Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and
Huawei.
This version of the document contains two updates that are related to “2G Call Setup Success Rate-
Speech” KPIs:-
2G Call Setup Success Rate-Speech (see Section 2.7)
The old 2G CSSR KPI did not accurately reflect user experience. This is mainly because SDCCH
establishment failures included those incurred during Location Update transactions. However, location
updates usually have a much higher failure rate and they do not accurately reflect the user experience for
speech calls. The most accurate 2G CSSR KPI (see below) would be one that removes Location Update
transactions when calculating the SDCCH establishment failure rate. Unfortunately, based on the
software releases currently deployed by the FT Group, it is not currently possible to do this with a
number of the BSS vendors. Until the remaining BSS vendors provide this capability it has been decided
to modify the 2G CSSR KPI so that all SDCCH access failures are removed – only SDCCH establishment
failures due to blocking are included. This provides an optimistic impression of the 2G CSSR, but it is
considered a more accurate reflection of user experience compared to the old 2G CSSR KPI.
2G Call Setup Success Rate-Speech, User Perception (see Section 2.8)
This is a new KPI that is considered to be the most accurate reflection of the 2G CSSR experienced by
the user. This is achieved by removing Location Update transactions when calculating the SDCCH
establishment failure rate. This is dependent on counter availability, and Ericsson have no plans to
provide this capability, whilst Alcatel and Nokia require newer software versions that are not yet
commonly deployed by the FT Group. Since this capability is not yet universally available MCOs are not
required to report this KPI when submitting the monthly report via Morpheus.
The modified CSSR KPI (Section 2.7) must be used in the FT Group level KPIs, provided to FT
Group monthly using the Morpheus online tool, starting on the reporting of the month of January
2010. During the month of December 2009, we ask you to test the modified CSSR KPIs.

A network status indicator is used in order to measure the Radio Access Network
characteristics. There is no associated target or objective. A performance indicator is used
to measure the performance of the Radio Access Network.
This document defines the Radio GSM indicators for the Orange affiliates. The indicators’
definitions in this document are mandatory for the Orange European controlled affiliates.
A network status indicator is used in order to measure the Radio Access Network
characteristics. There is no associated target or objective. A performance indicator is used
to measure the performance of the Radio Access Network.
N/A in this document stands for Not Applicable.
In case of difficulties when more than one vendor coexist, we suggest the calculation rule to
be based on a weighted average for the different vendors. For example we have 20% of
traffic of vendor A equipment and 80% on Vendor B equipment. The agregated KPI is
calculated as follows:
KPIAgregated = 20% KPIVendor A + 80% KPIVendor B

Capacity of individual cell: Equivalent Erlangs for Inventory Voice TCH count
Inventory Voice TCH count is: TS_voice = n*8TS – 1*BCCH – m*SDCCH –
q*PDCCH, where n is the number of TRX, m the number of SDCCH blocks & q
is the number of static PDCCH in a cell
Full rate & half rate traffic are included. Switchable GPRS TCH are taken into
