KPI Attained Approach


o

In general, there are two approaches to define/attain KPIs:

By statistics /Counter:
Most of KPIs are attained by this approach, such as RRC Success Rate, HHO
Success Rate

By drive test / Stationary test:


Some KPIs should be attained by drive test, such as Attach Latency, Handover

Collection Method and Reporting Period


o

Collection methods (TS 32.403)

CC (Cumulative Counter), for example, Attempted RRC connection establishments;

GAUGE (dynamic variable), used when data being measured can vary up or down

during the period of measurement, for example, Maximum E-RAB Setup time;

DER (Discrete Event Registration), when data related to a particular event are
captured every nth event is registered, where n can be 1 or larger, for example,
Cell Unavailable Time, Mean E-RAB Setup time;

SI (Status Inspection), for example, Average Number of simultaneous E-RABs;

Reporting period

The measurement results are collected in a pre-defined reporting period, and this
reporting period, in general, is configurable at EMS, for example, 15mins,
60mins

establishmentCause field in the RRCConnctionRequest message: emergency,
highPriorityAccess, mt-Access, mo-Signaling, mo-Data, delayTolerantAccess-v1020.
The UE sets the establishmentCause and received by eNodeB. Causes except moSignaling are categorized as service related ones, and the cause of mo-Signaling is
categorized as signal related ones.
