Thresholds
Thresholds :
When Delayed DL TBF release is not activated and CS2 is not

used at the beginning of TBF :
UL/DL TBF normal release rate is seen as good above 98 %
When Delayed DL TBF release is activated or CS2 is used at
beginning of TBF (without optimisation of the coding scheme
adaptation) :
Threshold of DL TBF normal release rate should be lower.

Different data applications are multiplexed over the GPRS

radio layers : FTP, WEB/HTTP, WAP, MMS,
>
Data applications have very different traffic characteristics

(amount of data, duration between LLC PDU) leading to
different ways of triggering of the radio layers algorithms
>
This has a direct impact on the follow-up of some OMC-R QoS

indicators :
number of DL/UL TBF establishment requests

DL/UL TBF duration
coding scheme distribution

Several upper layers parameters and algorithms have a great

impact on the end user QoS :
MTU size at sender side

TCP window size at receiver side
TCP slow start algorithm at sender side
TCP algorithms to handle congestion situations
MND/MRA/PCS, 63
End user QoS

>
Example coming from the labs :
FTP download of a 1 MB file considering different MTU and TCP

window size values
MS used : Sagem OT190 (3+1)
Max. throughput obtained for a TCP
window size ~ 8*1460 bytes
MND/MRA/PCS, 64
End user QoS

>
Contrary to the CS service, the follow-up of radio layers QoS

indicators (from drive tests or OMC-R) is not sufficient to have
a complete status of the end user QoS
>
Good QoS at radio layers level does not necessarily mean

good end user QoS.
>
Inversely, trying to improve QoS at end user side can have

side effect on QoS at radio layers.
Starting TBF in CS2 allows better throughput during FTP transfer

but QoS at radio layers shows that it can degrade the DL TBF
establishment success rate.
Enabling delayed downlink TBF release allows better response
time from mobiles but it leads to more risks to drop DL TBF.

Despite the OMC-R QoS follow-up is not sufficient to have a

complete status of the end user QoS, following domains must
be followed :
radio resources availability and sharing
DL/UL TBF establishment success rate

DL/UL TBF normal and acceptable release rate
DL/UL RLC re-transmission rate
CS2/(CS1 +CS2) ratio
MND/MRA/PCS, 71
To ensure that
enough PDCH
are available for
GPRS and that
there is no impact
on the GSM
To ensure that
GPRS radio
layers
are working
properly

>
Radio resources availability and sharing :
TCH blocking rate

CCCH load, CCCH load due to GPRS
TBF establishment failures due to radio congestion
TBF establishment : TS distribution
% of time DL/UL TBF are granted the max nb of PDCH they
support and the corresponding MS are engaged in DL/UL biased
transfers
PDCH usage
Smooth PDCH adaptation to cell load variation :
MAX_PDCH_DYN variable
MPDCH usage if Master channel activated
MND/MRA/PCS, 72

>
Other OMC-R QoS indicators are interesting to follow the

efficiency of some features :
Delayed DL TBF release

TBF resources re-allocation
