Units: % Note: In P5, load sharing counters have been introduced.
In P7.1, normal/system CS NAS signaling counters in order to monitor the drop rate during the NAS signaling sequence have been introduced.
KPI Description This KPI is the indication of the accessibility rate for the Speech service.
It can be seen as the product of CS RRC Success Rate, RAB Establishment Success Rate Speech and CS NAS Signaling Success Rate. Please refer to respective KPIs sections for an exhaustive description of the formula and counters involved.
This KPI can be computed on a per RNC basis as well as a per cell basis. When computing the RNC result, individual cell counters should be summed on a RNC basis before applying KPI calculation. This is in contrast to applying the KPI equation to each cell and then taking an average across the RNC. The latter can give poor performances. 1.1.1 RRC Setup Success Rate

KPI Recommended Formula
cConn dSharingRr - pmNoLoa ConnectReq pmTotNoRrc
Success ConnectReq pmTotNoRrc 100*
Units: % Note: Load Sharing has been included.
KPI Description This formula represents the percentage of successful RRC Connection Requests over the total number of RRC Connection Requests decreased by the number of diversions due to the Load Sharing feature during the establishments of RRC Connections, so that it is not counted as access failure on WCDMA RAN.
As soon as an RRC Connection Request message is received by RNC from UE for any Establishment Cause, pmTotNoRrcConnectReq counter is triggered and if UE has selected another cell (inter-frequency), due to Load Sharing mechanism, pmNoLoadSharingRrcConn counter is stepped when the RRC message RRC Connection Reject is sent to the UE. Then RNC asks permission both from RNC Main Processor (MP) load control and admission control functions. Having received permission to continue, allocates a DL channelization code and then starts to set up a connection towards the RBS. Also the UE is requested to setup an RRC connection with RRC Connection Setup message. Once NBAP Radio Link Restore Indication message and RRC Connection Setup Complete message have been received by RNC, then the RRC connection is considered to be successfully established. The counter pmTotNoRrcConnectReqSuccess is now increased.
Note that pmTotNoRrcConnectReq counter is always increased in the SRNC for the UE and it is increased once per connection, that is the subsequent retransmissions are not counted. This means that KPI is generating an indication of performance from the end user perspective. The end user is not aware of the UE re-transmitting the RRC Connection Request message. Thus from the end user perspective a single connection attempt can involve one or more RRC Connection Request messages. In conclusion this KPI is based upon the single end user attempt rather than one or more UE attempts.
This KPI can be computed on a per RNC basis as well as a per cell basis. When computing the RNC result, individual cell counters should be summed on a RNC basis before applying KPI calculation. This is in contrast to applying the KPI equation to each cell and then taking an average across the RNC. The latter can give poor performances.
The KPI may be used to identify cells which exhibit poor RRC connection performances as a result of insufficient resources (RNC runs MP load control and admission control) or hardware faults.
1.1.2 RRC Setup Success Rate CS
KPI Name: CS_RRCSUCCRATE WRAN Sw Release: P5 Importance: High
Scope: RNC Granularity: ROP 15 Time Resolution: 1 hour Counters MO Class: UtranCell Counters Type: PEG Target Value:
Units: % Note: In P5, load sharing contribution has been introduced.
KPI Description This formula highlights the success rate of RRC Connection Requests for CS calls. Note that the total number of RRC Connection Requests CS is decreased by the number of diversions due to the Load Sharing feature during the establishments of RRC Connections.
As soon as an RRC Connection Request message with Establishment Cause Originating Conversational Call or Terminating Conversational Call is received by RNC from UE, pmTotNoRrcConnectReqCs counter is triggered and if UE has selected another cell (inter-frequency), due to Load Sharing mechnaism, pmNoLoadSharingRrcConnCs counter is stepped when the RRC message RRC Connection Reject is sent to the UE. The pmTotNoRrcConnectReqCsSucc is increased when an RRC Connection Setup Complete message is received following an attempt to setup an originating or terminating conversational call.
Note that pmTotNoRrcConnectReqCs counter does not count repeated RRC connection requests. This means that KPI is generating an indication of performance from the end user perspective. The end user is not aware of the UE re-transmitting the RRC Connection Request message. Thus from the end user perspective a single connection attempt can involve one or more RRC Connection Request messages. In conclusion this KPI is based upon the single end user attempt rather than one or more UE attempts.
This KPI can be computed on a per RNC basis as well as a per cell basis. When computing the RNC result, individual cell counters should be summed on a RNC basis before applying KPI calculation. This is in contrast to applying the KPI equation to each cell and then taking an average across the RNC. The latter can give poor performances.
The KPI is useful to identify cells which exhibit poor CS RRC connection performances.
1.1.3 RRC Setup Success Rate PS
KPI Name: PS_RRCSUCCRATE WRAN Sw Release: P5 Importance: High
Scope: RNC Granularity: ROP 15 Time Resolution: 1 hour Counters MO Class: UtranCell Counters Type: PEG Target Value:
Units: % Note: In P5, load sharing contribution has been introduced.
KPI Description This formula highlights the success rate of RRC Connection Requests for PS calls. Note that the total number of RRC Connection Requests PS is decreased by the number of diversions due to the Load Sharing feature during the establishments of RRC Connections.
As soon as an RRC Connection Request message with Establishment Cause Originating Interactive Call, Terminating Interactive Call, Originating Background Call, Terminating Background Call or Originating Subscribed traffic call is received by RNC from UE, pmTotNoRrcConnectReqPs counter is triggered and if another cell (inter- frequency) was selected by Load Sharing mechanism, pmNoLoadSharingRrcConnPs counter is stepped when the RRC message RRC Connection Reject is sent to the UE. The pmTotNoRrcConnectReqPsSucc is increased when an RRC Connection Setup Complete message is received following an attempt to setup an originating or terminating background or interactive call.
Note that pmTotNoRrcConnectReqPs counter does not count repeated RRC connection requests. This means that KPI is generating an indication of performance from the end user perspective. The end user is not aware of the UE re-transmitting the RRC Connection Request message. Thus from the end user perspective a single connection attempt can involve one or more RRC Connection Request messages. In conclusion this KPI is based upon the single end user attempt rather than one or more UE attempts.
This KPI can be computed on a per RNC basis as well as a per cell basis. When computing the RNC result, individual cell counters should be summed on a RNC basis before applying KPI calculation. This is in contrast to applying the KPI equation to each cell and then taking an average across the RNC. The latter can give poor performances.
The KPI is useful to identify cells which exhibit poor PS RRC connection performances.
