Accessibility (1) RRC Setup Success Rate
RRC Setup Success Rate (service)

The RRC setup procedure is trigged by different reasons as identified by the

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

Accessibility (3) QCI Definition
LTE-SAE QoS Class Identifier

There are 9 QCIs defined in 3GPP TS 23.203. Each of QCI has its QoS requirements,
and each E-RAB will has the attribute of QCI.

This KPI can be used to evaluate the ERAB

setup success rate of VoIP service (QCI 1
service) in a cell or cluster.

VoIP Call Setup Success Rate
(VoIP CSSR)
This KPI evaluates the success rate of the whole setup procedure for
VoIP service (QCI 1 service) in a cell or cluster, which mainly includes
three phases : RRC setup phase, S1 Signaling connection
establishment phase and VoIP E-RAB setup phase:

Retainability (1) Call Drop Rate
VoIP Call Drop Rate

This KPI can be used to evaluate the call drop rate of VoIP service (QCI 1 service) in a cell or
cluster, the call drops happen when eNode initiate active ERAB (with data in buffer) release
process by E-RAB Release Indication or UE Context Release Request message with Cause
field with abnormal reasons (the cause other than : Normal Release, Detach,User Inactivity,

VoIP Call Rate
Setup Complete Rate (VoIP CSTR)
This KPI evaluates the call Setup Complete Rate for VoIP service (QCI 1
service) in a cell or cluster, which means the rate of the VoIP service can be
normally terminated once user do the attempt to setup the service. And it can
include 4 phases: RRC setup phase, S1 Signaling connection establishment
phase, VoIP E-RAB setup phase and VoIP service E-RAB release phase;
