Target issues for optimizations are e.g.To achieve coverage and capacity RAN improvements by tuning ofinterference situations within the network

Therefore check RRM to ensure that the RAN offers planned coverage foreach targeted service

Evaluate high capacity i.e. low blocking for new calls and handovers

Observe network performance by overall counters (NetAct, RNC counters)

Define quality indicators and compare KPIs by triggering points

Check overall Quality of Service at RAN, transmission and core

Optimize the use of available capacity by priorities

Continuously monitoring/adjusting how the available resources are used inaccordance with user requests !

Operator can define several KPIs:

Blocking rate (e.g. for RRC 0.5%, RT RAB 1%, NRT RAB 0.1%, PS session 5%)

Call drop rate (e.g. for RT RAB 0.5%, NRT RAB 2%)

Handover success rate (e.g. for SHO 95%, for ISHO 80%)

Report statistics generated by vendor MML commands (WBTS, RNC)

Evaluated for accessibility, retainability, usage, mobility and integrity (BLER)

Factors affecting KPIs

Many factors and network elements can affect network performance, e.g.

Quality of network equipment, both hardware and software (BTS, RNC, PS and CS

core, transmission equipment)

Performance of UE and field measurement tools (inter-operability, sensitivity ofmeasurement parameters, level of accuracy)

Quality of network planning and optimization (coverage, interference, parametertuning, capacity dimensioning, site acquisition)

Quality of network implementation (site and network equipment installation,

integration and commissioning)

Quality of network operation and maintenance

Multi-vendor environment (application servers, IP backbone, core versus RAN)

Measurement method (test setup, service dependency, cluster or system level,clutter type)

HSDPA retainability (traffic measurements M1002)

HSDPA retainability deals with transition from HS-DSCH to DCH or FACH,not with release of HS RAB

Causes for normal transitions areInactivity

Preemption

Mobility to non HS cell

If a failure occurs, the RNC tries to shift the user to Cell_FACH, i.e. to

keep the RRC and RAB connection runningHSDPA drop thus is soft drop

ISHO success rate

ISHO divided into two phases

Inter-system measurements

Inter-system handover execution

Attempt and success counted in all source cells

RT and NRT ISHO differ in nature

Counter and KPI are implemented separately for RT and NRT

In case of multi-RAB with at least one RT RAB counted as RT ISHO

ISHO may fail due to e.g.

Missing target cellTarget cell has not enough coverage

Target cell strongly interfered

Transmission rate = (100 * 1 + 16 * 2 + 3 * 3 + 1 * 4) / (100 + 16 + 3 + 1)
