Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 1-1 1
Overview With the initial target of downlink peak data rate reaching above 100 Mbit/s,
the next-generation Long Term Evolution (LTE) system is developed to meet the
increasing demands on higher data rate due to fast expansion of multimedia applications.
For a new wireless system like the LTE, a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are
defined for the evaluation of system performance, in particular the performance of the
evolved Radio Access Network (eRAN). The comparison between the LTE and the
legacy systems such as UMTS or CDMA2000 system is also specified in this document.
This document specifies a set of eRAN KPIs to evaluate the performance of the LTE
system. Some counters necessary for the KPI calculation are also described in details.
Given that the LTE is a new system, the KPIs in this document are drafted ones and
subject to change. KPIs should be updated according to the experiences of commercial
network management and radio network optimization. The KPIs in this document are
classified into categories based on the measurement targets: accessibility, retainability,
mobility, service integrity, utilization, availability, and traffic KPIs. This document is
organized as follows: firstly we briefly describe the KPI specification template. Then
detailed specifications of each KPI are described in terms of the aforementioned seven
categories. Finally we provide definitions of relevant counters in Chapter 11 Counter
List.

(2012-03-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies
Co., Ltd. 2-1 2 Template for KPI Definition According to the template, the KPI is defined
in terms of the following items. Each KPI has several sub-clauses.  KPI name (clause
header) It is a descriptive name of the KPI.  Descriptions It provides a brief overview of
the KPI.  Measurement scope It specifies the KPI monitoring scope. In general, the
measurement is made in terms of cells. The KPI value reflects the performance in a cell
or a cluster. The associated counters can be obtained from cell statistics. In this
document, cluster indicates a group of cells selected by user.  Formula It is used to
calculate the KPI. Generally the formula consists of several counters that are specified in
other sub-clauses.  Associated counters It contains counters used in the formula. Chapter
11 Counter List provides the counter descriptions.

Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 3-1 3
Accessibility KPIs Accessibility KPIs are used to measure the probability whether
services requested by a user can be accessed within specified tolerances in the given
operating conditions. The service provided by the E-UTRAN is defined as EPS/ERABs.
Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection and System Architecture Evolution (ERAB)
 setup are the main procedures for accessibility KPIs. The accessibility KPIs can be
calculated per cell or cluster. The KPIs at the cluster level are calculated by aggregating
all cell counters of the same cluster. 3.1 RRC Setup Success Rate (Service) 3.1.1
Description According to Reference[1] , the RRC connection setup procedure is triggered
by various different causes as identified by the “establishmentCause” field in
RRCConnectionRequest message: emergency, highPriorityAccess, mt (Mobile
terminating)-Access, mo (Mobile Originating)-Signaling, and mo-Data. The UE sets the
establishmentCause in accordance with the information received from upper layers.
Causes except mo-signaling are categorized as service-related ones. The mo-signaling
cause is a signaling-related cause. This KPI evaluates the RRC setup success rate with
service-related causes in a cell or cluster Involved. The KPI is calculated based on the
counters measured at eNodeB when the eNodeB receives an RRC Connection Request
from the UE, as shown in Figure 3-1. To illustrate the KPI calculation procedures, we
briefly discuss how the related counters (number of RRC Connection setup attempts
(service) and number of successful RRC setup (service)) are collected. The number of
RRC Connection attempts is collected by the eNodeB at measurement point A and the
number of successful RRC connection is counted at measurement point C. The related
counters are discussed in Chapter 11 Counter List.

evaluates the RRC setup success rate of the signaling-related cause (mo-signaling) in a
cell or a cluster. Like the RRC Setup Success Rate (service), this KPI is used to calculate
the RRC setup success rate only when the “establishmentCause” field is set to mo-
signaling in a cell or a cluster.

3.3.1 Description This KPI is used to evaluate the ERAB setup success rate of the VoIP
service in a cell or a cluster. The counters related to this KPI are measured when the
eNodeB receives an ERAB Setup Request message or an Initial Context Setup Request
message from the MME, as shown in Figure 3-2 according to Reference [2] and
Reference [3] . The ERAB is part of the Evolved Packet Service (EPS) bearer. According
 to Reference [4] , an ERAB is one or more Service Data Flows between UE and EPC.
The ERAB identity remains unique for the UE even if the UE-associated logical S1-
connection (S1 bearer) is released during periods of user inactivity. The ERAB consists
of both ERAB radio bearer (between eNodeB and UE, same as the radio bear defined in
the EPS bearer) and corresponding S1 bearer (between eNodeB and MME). Figure 3-2
and Figure 3-3 show two scenarios: MME-initiated ERAB setup (Scenario A) and UE-
triggered ERAB setup (Scenario B). Scenario B is triggered by the radio bearer setup.
Initial Context Setup Request messages are exchanged between eNodeB and MME. If the
ERAB Setup Request message or Initial Context Setup Request message requires
multiple ERAB setups at the same time, specific counters are incremented for each
ERAB .

Number of ERAB Connection setup attempts is collected by the eNodeB at measurement
point A and the number of successful ERAB connections is counted at measurement
point B, as shown in Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3. Note that the eNodeB needs to specify
the Quality of Service (QoS) Class Identifier (QCI) for VoIP in the ERAB setup message.
The voice service can be identified by the QoS information, in particular the QCI in the
ERAB Setup Request message. In general, QCI 1 is assigned to the voice service. 3.3.2
Definition The ERAB setup success rate (VoIP) KPI is defined in Table 3-3. Note that
the ERAB setup attempts (VoIP) and the successful ERAB setup counters (VoIP) are
collected based on the descriptions in Section 3.3.1 . Table 3-3 ERAB setup success rate

Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 4-1 4
Retainability KPIs Retainability KPIs are used to evaluate the network capability to retain
services requested by a user for a desired duration once the user is connected to the
services. These counters can be calculated per cell or per cluster. The KPIs at the cluster
level can be calculated by aggregating all the cell counters. Retainability KPIs are
important in evaluating whether the system can maintain the service quality at certain
level. 4.1 Call Drop Rate (VoIP) 4.1.1 Description This KPI can be used to evaluate the
call drop rate of the VoIP service in a cell or a cluster. The call drop rate is calculated by
monitoring the VoIP ERAB abnormal release rate. Each ERAB is associated with the
QoS information. The voice service can be distinguished by the specific QCI = 1. ERAB
includes both the ERAB radio bearer and corresponding S1 bearer. Any abnormal release
on either bearer causes call drop and therefore is counted into the call drop rate. The
abnormal release is identified by the CauseIE defined in Reference[3] . The Call Drop
Rate (CDR) is defined as Abnormal ERAB release / All released ERAB. Note that there
are two different procedures indicating the ERAB release: they are indicated through E-
RAB Release Indication and UE Context Release Command as shown in Figure 4-1.

Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 4-2
Figure 4-1 Abnormal ERAB release As shown in Figure 4-1, the abnormal ERAB release
counter is incremented when the eNodeB sends an E-RAB Release Indication to the
MME or receives an UE Context Release Command message from the MME and the
release causes are not Normal Release, User Inactivity, Partial Handover, or Handover
triggered. If the message contains several ERAB ID IEs (in the ERAB to Be Release List
IE), the counter will be incremented for each individual ERAB. For the eNodeB-initiated
abnormal ERAB release, the eNodeB knows whether it is a normal or abnormal ERAB
release. 4.1.2 Definition The call drop rate (VoIP) is defined in Table 4-1. Table 4-1 Call

Mobility KPIs Mobility KPIs are used to evaluate the performance of E-UTRAN
mobility, which is critical to the customer experience. Several categories of mobility
KPIs are defined based on the following handover types: intra-frequency, inter-
frequency, and inter-Radio Access Technology (RAT). 5.1 Intra-frequency Handover Out
Success Rate 5.1.1 Description This KPI can be used to evaluate the intra-frequency
Handover out success rate in a cell or a cluster. The intra-frequency handover (HO)
includes both inter-eNodeB and intra-eNodeB scenarios. To illustrate the KPI calculation,
we briefly discuss how the related counters (number of intra-frequency HO attempts and
number of successful intra-frequency HO attempts) are collected. Intra-eNodeB HO
scenario is shown in Figure 5-1. The HO attempt counter is collected at point B. When
the eNodeB sends an RRCConnectionReconfiguration message to the UE, it decides to
perform a handover. The eNodeB counts the number of attempts to perform intra-
eNodeB intra-frequency HO in the source cell. The success HO counters are collected at
point C. The eNodeB counts the number of successful intra-eNodeB intra-frequency HOs
in the source cell when the eNodeB receives the
RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete message from the UE.

Figure 5-1 Scenario for Intra-frequency Intra-eNB HO Two scenarios are available for
the inter-eNodeB HO, as shown Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3. The HO attempts are
collected at point B. When the Source-eNodeB (S-eNodeB) sends an
RRCConnectionReconfiguration message to the UE, it decides to perform an inter-
eNodeB HO. In this KPI, the source and target cells of the handover are at the same
frequency. The number of inter-eNodeB intra-frequency HO attempts is measured at the
source cell. The number of inter-eNodeB intra frequency success HOs is collected at
point C as shown in Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3. During a handover with the source and
target cells at the same frequency, the number of successful inter-eNodeB intra-frequency
HOs is measured in the source cell when the S-eNodeB receives a UE Context Release
message from the Target-eNodeB (T-eNodeB) or a UE Context Release Command
message from the MME, indicating that the UE access to the T-eNodeB is successful.

 5.2.1 Description This KPI can be used to evaluate the inter-frequency handover out
success rate in a cell or a cluster. Note that the measurement points for the associated
counters are the same as those for the intra-frequency HO scenario described in 5.1.1 .
The target LTE cell operates at the frequency different from that of the source LTE cell,
which is the only difference. As shown in Figure 5-1, if the source and target cells at
different frequencies are controlled by the same eNodeB, the eNodeB counts the number
of intra-eNodeB inter-frequency HO attempts at point B and the successful intra-eNodeB
inter-frequency HOs at point C in the source cell. As shown in Figure 5-2, if the handover
source and target cells are at different frequencies, the eNodeB counts the number of
inter-eNodeB inter-frequency HO attempts at point B and the successful intra-eNodeB
inter-frequency HOs at point C in the source cell. 5.2.2 Definition The inter-frequency
handover out success rate is defined in Table 5-2. Note that the HO attempts and the
successful HO counters are collected based on the descriptions in Section 5.2.1 . Table 5-

attempts and number of successful HOs) are collected. Intra-eNodeB HO scenario is
shown in Figure 5-4. The HO attempt counters are collected at point B. When the
eNodeB sends an RRCConnectionReconfiguration message to the UE, it decides to
perform a HO. The eNodeB counts the number of intra-eNodeB handover attempts in the
target cell. The success HO counter is collected at point C. The eNodeB counts the
number of successful intra-eNodeB HOs in the target cell when the eNodeB receives an
RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete message from the UE.

11 Counter List Table 11-1 provides a counter list including all counters relevant to the
KPI calculation. In each KPI specification, one or several parameters are used to
calculate the KPI as shown in the KPI formula. Each parameter is mapped to a counter.
For details on each counter, see the Reference [6] . Note that only QCI 1 is for VoIP
service (conversational voice). According to Table6.1.7 in Reference [5] , QCI 7 can also
be assigned to non-conversational voice. In this document, QCI 7 is not considered as the
VoIP service in the KPI calculation. Table 11-1 KPI-related counter list KPI Parameter in
