LTE eRAN8.1 KPI Introduction



The traffic measurement data and drive test data are the objective basis of the network
optimization, while the human perception is the subjective basis. It is necessary to trace
and analyze signalling messages to locate problems before these problems are solved. It is
obvious that the traffic measurement data provide a very important method to analyze the
network performance. Especially when there is traffic in the network, the traffic
measurement data provide important references and guide for the network optimization.
The integrity and accuracy of the measurement items and the convenience of operations
will directly affect the efficiency of network optimization. Meanwhile, the quality of
measurement items is also a very important factor to measure the effect of network
optimization.
On the other hand, network operators set much store by the traffic measurement data.
The boss of network operators usually learns and judges the running status of networks
according to the visual data obtained from traffic measurement. These visual traffic
measurement data also provide an important basis for the future network capacity
expansion.

Each measurement result is related to a specific measurement object.

Counters are organized by Measurement Unit/Family.
Function set. A function set consists of several function subsets that are related to a
specific system function. Function sets are also referred to as measurement sets. If a
function set belongs to NEs of different types, this function set is referred to as a shared
function set.
Function subset. A function subset consists of several measurement counters that are
related to a certain system function. Function subsets are also referred to as measurement
units. If a function subset belongs to NEs of different types, this function subset is referred
to as a shared function subset.
Each function subset has a unique ID in the system. You can view the ID of a function
subset in the text box that is displayed when resting the pointer on the function subset
(button).
Measurement counter. If a measurement counter belongs to NEs of different types, this
measurement counter is referred to as a shared measurement counter.

The RRC connection setup procedure is triggered by various different causes as identified
by the establishmentCause field in RRCConnectionRequest message: emergency,
highPriorityAccess, mt (Mobile terminating)-Access, mo (Mobile Originating)-Signaling, and
mo-Data. The UE sets the establishmentCause in accordance with the information received
from upper layers. Causes except mo-signaling are categorized as service-related ones. The
mo-signaling cause is a signaling-related cause.
Establishment Cause
Emergency
TheEmergency cause value is used if the EPS Attach Type within the
Attach Request message is set to EPS Emergency Attach. The Emergency
cause value can also be used if the higher layers within the UE indicate the
requirement to establish emergency bearer services, even when the EPS
Attach Type is not set to EPS Emergency Attach.
High Priority Access
For these NAS procedures initiated by UEs of access class 12, 13 or 14 in
their home country, the RRC establishment cause will be set to "High
priority access AC 11 15". For this purpose the home country is defined
as the country of the MCC part of the IMSI, see 3GPP TS 22.011 [1A].
For these NAS procedures initiated by UE of access class 11 or 15 in their
HPLMN (if the EHPLMN list is not present or is empty) or EHPLMN (if the
EHPLMN list is present), the RRC establishment cause will be set to "High
priority access AC 11 15.
This KPI evaluates the RRC setup success rate in a cell or cluster involved.
According to Reference, the RRC connection setup procedure is triggered by various
different causes as identified by the establishmentCause field in RRCConnectionRequest
message: emergency, highPriorityAccess, mt-Access (Mobile terminating), mo-Signaling
(Mobile Originating), and mo-Data. The UE sets the establishmentCause in accordance
with the information received from upper layers. Causes except mo-signaling are
categorized as service-related ones. The mo-signaling cause is a signaling-related cause.
MO-signaling refers to RRC connection setup request result from Attach,Tracking Area
Update,Detach

The counters measure the number of RRC connection setup requests for different causes in
a cell. The RRC Connection Request message is the first RRC signaling message sent from
the UE to the eNodeB. The corresponding counter are incremented by 1 each time the
eNodeB receives an RRC Connection Request message from the UE. Note: The
L.RRC.ConnReq.Att counter is incremented by 1 when the eNodeB receives the message
for the first time. The counter will not be incremented repeatedly, if the eNodeB receives
the message for multiple times.

The characteristics describe the packet forwarding treatment that an SDF aggregate
receives edge-to-edge between the UE and the PCEF (see figure 6.1.7-1) in terms of the
following performance characteristics:
1 Resource Type (GBR or Non-GBR);
2 Priority;
3 Packet Delay Budget;
4 Packet Error Loss Rate.

An E-RAB is the access layer bearer for carrying service data of users. The E-RAB setup
success rate in a cell directly represents the capability of the cell to provide E-RAB
connection setups for users

The E-RAB is part of the Evolved Packet Service (EPS) bearer. According to 3GPP TS 23.401,
an E-RAB is one or more Service Data Flows between UE and an EPC.
The E-RAB identity remains unique for the UE even if the UE-associated logical S1-
connection (S1 bearer) is released during periods of user inactivity.
UE-triggered E-RAB setup is triggered by the radio bearer setup. Initial Context Setup
Request messages are exchanged between the eNodeB and the MME. If the E-RAB Setup
Request message or Initial Context Setup Request message requires multiple E-RAB setups
at the same time, specific counters are incremented for each E-RAB.

repeatedly.


The number of setup times of S1 signaling connections related to UEs is incremented by 1

each time when the eNodeB sends an INITIAL UE MESSAGE to the MME or receives the
first message from the MME. INITIAL UE MESSAGE is the first S1 message that the eNodeB
sends to the MME. It contains the NAS configuration information related to UEs, based on
which the MME sets up S1 signaling connections for UEs. The first S1 message sent by the
MME may be INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST, DOWNLINK NAS TRANSPORT, or UE
CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND. Receiving any of these messages indicates that the S1
signaling connection is set up successfully.
As shown at point A, the L.S1Sig.ConnEst.Att counter is incremented by 1 when the
eNodeB sends an INITIAL UE MESSAGE to the MME.
As shown at point B, the L.S1Sig.ConnEst.Succ counter is incremented by 1 when the
eNodeB receives the first S1 message sent from an MME after sending an INITIAL UE
MESSAGE to the MME.


This KPI can be used to evaluate the call setup success rate of all services including the
VoIP service in a cell or a cluster. This KPI is calculated based on the KPI of RRC Setup
Success Rate (Service) and the KPI of ERAB Setup Success Rate (All).

Number of UE-Specific Signaling Connection Setups over the S1 Interface

The counters measure the number of UE-specific signaling connection setups on
the S1 interface, that is, number of INITIAL UE MESSAGE messages sent from the
eNodeB to the MME and number of first S1 messages received from the MME. The
eNodeB transmits the UE-specific NAS layer data configuration to the MME
through the INITIAL UE MESSAGE. The MME sets up S1 signaling connections
based on NAS information in the message. The first S1 interface message received
from the MME may be the INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST, DOWNLINK NAS
TRANSPORT, or UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message. If the message is
received, an S1 signaling connection is set up successfully.


Call Drop Rate(VoIP)

This KPI can be used to evaluate the call drop rate of the VoIP service in a cell or a
cluster. The call drop rate is calculated by monitoring the VoIP ERAB abnormal
release rate. Each E-RAB is associated with the QoS information.
E-RAB includes both the E-RAB radio bearer and corresponding S1 bearer. Any
abnormal release on either bearer causes call drop and therefore is counted into
the call drop rate. The abnormal release is identified by the Cause IE (Information
Element) defined in Reference.
Call Drop Rate(All)
This KPI can be used to evaluate the call drop rate of all services in a cell or a
cluster, including VoIP service.

Abnormal E-RAB releases can be classified into the following two scenarios:
Scenario 1: When the eNodeB sends an E-RAB Release Indication message to the MME,
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".
Scenario 2: When the eNodeB sends a UE Context Release Request message to the MME,
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", "Inter-RAT redirection", "Time Critical
Handover", "Handover Cancelled".

the eNodeB receives an E-RAB RELEASE COMMAND message from the MME and the
Release Cause information element is Normal Release, Detach, User Inactivity, or cs fallback
triggered. If the E-RAB RELEASE COMMAND message requires multiple E-RAB releases at
the same time, the corresponding counter is incremented by 1 according to the QCI of
each service.
As shown in point A in Figure 2, the eNodeB releases all E-RABs of the UE after receiving a
UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message from the MME. If the Release Cause

transmitting or receiving data in a cell.
Measurement Points
The counters are measured based on the status of users within the
sampling period. The number of users in connected mode and with data in
the buffer in a cell is sampled per second. At the end of a measurement
period, the average and maximum of these sampling results is used as the
value of the corresponding counters.
Number of Activated UEs in the Downlink in a Cell
Description
The counters measure the number of UEs that have data in the downlink
buffer in a cell.
Measurement Points
The number of UEs that are in RRC_CONNECTED mode and have data in
the downlink buffer in a cell is sampled per millisecond. At the end of a
measurement period, the average and maximum of these sampling results
are used as the values of the corresponding counters.
Number of Activated UEs in the Uplink in a Cell
Description
The counters measure the number of UEs that have data in the uplink
buffer in a cell.
Measurement Points
the uplink buffer in a cell is sampled per millisecond. At the end of a
measurement period, the average and maximum of these sampling results
are used as the values of the corresponding counters.
Number of Activated UEs in a Cell
Description
The counters measure the number UEs that have data in the buffer in a cell.
Measurement Points
either the downlink or uplink buffer in a cell is sampled per millisecond. At
the end of a measurement period, the average and maximum of these
sampling results are used as the values of the corresponding counters.

Counters

1526728998 L.Thrp.Time.Cell.UL.Hi Total duration of downlink data transmission in a
ghPrecision cell (with the precision of 1 ms)
Description
The counters measure the total duration of downlink data transmission in a
cell with the precision of 1 millisecond.
Measurement Points
The duration of uplink data transmission in a cell is sampled per millisecond.
If there is uplink data transmission within a sampling period, the sampling
result is 1 ms. At the end of a measurement period, the sum of these
sampling results is used as the value of the
L.Thrp.Time.Cell.UL.HighPrecision counter.
The internal timer of the eNodeB has a deviation of one period, and
therefore the measurement result of the counter has a deviation.
