 Table 5-6 Major Sampling Points in the Initial E-RAB Connection

Establishment Procedure
Sampling
Description
Point
The eNodeB receives the Initial Context Setup Request message from
1
the MME.
The eNodeB sends the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to
2
the UE.
The eNodeB receives the RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete
3
message from the UE.
The eNodeB sends the Initial Context Setup Response message to the
4
MME.
The timer is timing out when the eNodeB waits for the RRC Connection
5
Reconfiguration Complete message from the UE.
The eNodeB sends the Initial Context Setup Failure message to the
6
MME because of a security failure or other UE interaction failure.
The eNodeB sends the Initial Context Setup Failure message to the
7
MME because it cannot find the ID of the context.

 The initial E-RAB connection establishment procedure is started when the

eNodeB receives the Initial Context Setup Request message from the UE, and
terminated when the eNodeB receives the Initial Context Setup Response
message from the MME.

 By counting the number of successfully and unsuccessfully received E-RABs in

the Initial Context Setup Request and Initial Context Setup Response
messages, the Initial E-RAB Connection Establishment Success Rate
indicator can be calculated as follows:

 Initial E-RAB Connection Establishment Success Rate = Initial E-RAB

Connection Establishment Successes/Initial E-RAB Connection Establishment
Attempts

 Initial E-RAB connection establishment failures are primarily caused by the

following factors:

 ENB Admission Failure

 Uu Interface Failure

 Security Failure

 Parameter Error

 Other Reason

 Table 5-7 summarizes the initial E-RAB connection establishment failure

counters.
