3G KPIs Principle: S.M.A.R.T

Specific
the KPI has clear and complete definition and formula, include check point and procedure.
Measurable
KPIs are measurable by given condition, measurement equipment and procedure.
Attainable Relevant Time-bound
all the KPIs should be reachable, it is refer to the commercial network. the KPI can show the subscriber experience the KPI target should be on the base of time-bound
Page 3
3G KPIs : Specific
Complete KPI definition include the formula combine with the check point or procedure. The example: RRC Connection Successful Rate n formula
RRCS_SRService = RRCConnectionSuccessservice 100% RRCConnectionAttempt service
n Check point The number of RRC Connection Attempt is A1 or A2? A2 represent the effective number of RRC Connection Attempt.

3G KPIs : Measurable Drive Test

n Field Test -> Drive Test
Evaluate the overall network performance, usually on the network pre-launch phase and initial stage of commercial launch.
Test platform Multiple test model UEs can perform different tests.
Driver test route is based on cluster, it is involved about 20 sites in one cluster usually.
Data analysis Probe & Assistant is used for analyzing test data
Page 5
3G KPIs : Measurable Stationary test

n Field Test ->stationary Test
Evaluate the system / equipment performance.
System KPI is suggested to be test by stationary: n Throughput KPI n Delay KPI n Quality KPI
Core Network NodeB
Stationary test condition is fixed, and usually used in indoor test scenario. Radio Network KPI test is suggested to be test by drive test n Call drop rate n Handover successful rate

A comparative analysis shows that, if excluding the problematic sites, the KPI would improve substantially, say, AMR RAB assignment success rate from 97.79% to 98.09%:
KPIs (including IUB Congestion sites)
RRC Connection Setup Success Rate (CS)(>98%) AMR RAB Assignment Success Rate(>98%) Video Call RAB Assignment Success Rate(>98%) PS64 RAB Assignment Success Rate(>97%) PS128 RAB Assignment Success Rate(>97%) PS384 RAB Assignment Success Rate(>97%) 99.17%(313992/316615)

The impact of missing neighbours

DL R99 throughput has been impacted by the interference generated by missing neighbors, mostly concerning the new sites that had been recently put on air Areas with low throughput corresponds to bad Ec/Io figures and HHO to 2G
Low throughput
UE handover to GSM
Page 37
Other causes
In addition to coverage and missing neighbour causes, the HSDPA minimum throughput problem is due to:
DT route crosses the IUR area where HSDPA calls are reconfigured to DCH (H2D) UE moves from a non-hotspot to a hotspot site in HSDPA connected mode
