How To Calculate PDCP Layer Average Throughput in LTE

This document provides instructions for calculating average downlink and uplink throughput at the PDCP layer in LTE TDD networks using performance counters on Huawei equipment. It explains how to calculate the cell-level and user-level throughput for all QCIs as well as specifically for QCI9. The throughput is calculated by dividing the total traffic volume by the total transmission time for either the downlink or uplink directions.
