1 Overview
Overview
This document specifies a set of eRAN KPIs used to evaluate the performance of the LTE
system and provides a detailed description of the counters necessary for calculating these
KPIs. Given that LTE is a new system, the KPIs in this document are drafts, and as such, are
subject to change. KPIs will be updated according to commercial network management and
radio network optimization needs.
The KPIs in this document are classified into the following seven categories:
Accessibility KPIs
Retainability KPIs
Mobility KPIs
Utilization KPIs
Availability KPIs
Traffic KPIs

its performance in a cell or radio network. You can view cell statistics to obtain
associated counters.
Formula:

3 Accessibility KPIs
Accessibility KPIs
Accessibility KPIs are used to measure the probability that a user accesses the network and
requests services in the given operating conditions. The service provided by the E-UTRAN is
defined as EPS/E-RABs. (EPS is short for evolved packet system, and E-RAB is short for
E-UTRAN radio access bearer). Radio Resource Control (RRC) connections and System
Architecture Evolution (SAE) setups are the main procedures whose performance is measured
by accessibility KPIs.

The eNodeB collects the number of E-RAB connection setup attempts at measurement point
A, and the number of successful E-RAB 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 E-RAB setup message.
The voice service can be identified by the QoS information, particularly the QCI in the
E-RAB Setup Request message. In general, QCI 1 is assigned to the voice service.

The E-RAB Setup Success Rate (VoIP) KPI is defined in Table 3-3. Note that the number of

4 Retainability KPIs
Retainability KPIs
Retainability KPIs indicate the network's capability to retain services requested by a user for a
desired duration once the user is connected to the services. Retainability KPIs are important in
evaluating whether the system can maintain a certain level of service quality.

4 Retainability KPIs
When the eNodeB sends an E-RAB Release Indication message to the MME or a UE Context
Release Request message to the MME as shown in Figure 4-1, the abnormal E-RAB release
counter is incremented if the bearer to be released carries data and the release cause is not
"Normal Release", "Detach", "User Inactivity", "CS Fallback triggered", "UE Not Available
for PS Service", or "Inter-RAT Redirection". If the message contains several E-RAB ID IEs
(in the E-RAB To Be Released List IE), the counter will be incremented for each individual
E-RAB.

5 Mobility KPIs
Mobility KPIs
Mobility KPIs are used to evaluate E-UTRAN mobility performance, which is critical to
customer experience. Three categories of mobility KPIs are defined based on the following
handover types: intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and inter-Radio Access Technology (RAT).
Draft A (2013-02-08)
13
5 Mobility KPIs
Two scenarios are available for the inter-eNodeB HO, as shown in Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3.
The HO attempts are collected at point B. When the source-eNodeB (S-eNodeB) sends an
RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to the UE, it decides to perform an inter-eNodeB
HO. In this KPI, the source and target cells of the handover operate at the same frequency.
The number of inter-eNodeB intra-frequency HO attempts is measured at the source cell.
The number of successful inter-eNodeB intra-frequency 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. This measurement occurs 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 T-eNodeB is successfully attached to the T-eNodeB.

5.2.1 Description
The Inter-Frequency Handover Out Success Rate KPI indicates the inter-frequency handover
success rate from the local cell or radio network to the inter-frequency neighboring cell or
radio network. Note that the measurement points for the associated counters are the same as
those for the intra-frequency HO scenario described in section 5.1.1 "Description." The target
LTE cell operates at a frequency different from that of the source LTE cell, which is the only
difference between this KPI and the Intra-Frequency Handover Out Success Rate KPI.
As shown in Figure 5-1, if the source and target cells operating 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 number of 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 operating at different frequencies, the eNodeB counts the number
of inter-eNodeB inter-frequency HO attempts at point B and the number of successful
intra-eNodeB inter-frequency HOs at point C in the source cell.
5.2.2 Definition
The Inter-Frequency Handover Out Success Rate KPI is defined in Table 5-2. Note that the

UE CONTEXT RELEASE message to the S-eNodeB or when the T-eNodeB sends a
HANDOVER NOTIFY message to MME.

Counter List
Table 11-1 provides a list of all the counters relevant to KPI calculation. In each KPI
specification, one or more 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 eNodeB
Performance Counter Reference.
Note that only QCI 1 is used for VoIP service (conversational voice). According to Table 6.1.7
in 3GPP TS 23.203, QCI 7 can also be assigned to non-conversational voice. In this document,
QCI 7 is not considered to be part of the VoIP service in KPI calculation.
The counters listed in the following table are described in eNodeB Performance Counter
