AMR Voice Call
• Every call starts with RRC connection establishment
• UE indicates in Initial Direct Transfer service type
• Security functions triggered from CN follow

• CN sends RABAssignmentRequest to RNC to set-up resources

• RNC checks and allocates available resources

• In parallel there is ISDN signalling for call setup

Call Completion Success Rate - CCSR

CCSR for a specific service is calculated based on RAB Counters:

CCSR any service = RAB success rate any service

In Nokia RAN there are negative counters used to get success ratio:

account RRC Call Re-establishments as "failures“ from end user point of view
• it is taking into notice just calls which have successfully reestablished or have ended in this cell, but
might have been started in other cells

M1001/M1002: DCH related counters and KPIs, voice
call example
M1001C714 CS VOICE CALL DROP AFTER MISSING ADJ – introduced in RU30
Description: The number of CS Voice call RAB active failures after the UE has reported detected set
cell in 1A or 1C event, and handover could not be initiated because the reported cell is not included in
ADJS or ADJD list. Also one of RAB Active Failure counters is updated along with this counter.
Updated: When CS voice call RAB active failure happens within 10 seconds after receiving 1A/1C
event from the UE asking to add non-identified detected set cell to the active set. Here 10 seconds is
the time between the latest unidentified cell event, and the moment when all radio links are deleted.
Possible T314 expiry time is not anymore part of the time criteria.

• Same structure can be build from M1002 counters for any type of DCH service
(SRB, Video call, PS …) and Compressed Mode events
• Note that PS allocations are done via RB reconfiguration after
– allocation of DCH0/0
– reception of a capacity request

UL/DL DCH blocking RAB CS Voice KPIs

This set of KPI is useful to understand if blocking at RAB level for CS

Voice is due to UL AC or DL AC.

In case of cell availability problem, these counters are not incremented

at all because AC does not even receive the DCH request.

RAB Holding Time

For each traffic class there are counters for RAB Holding time.
They are incremented (denominator also):
▪ when the RAB is released
▪ in the cell that was the reference when the RAB is released
▪ and in the hour in which it was released

RAB duration for CS voice class (measuring the time from RAB Assignment
Response to RAB Assignment Response for release (or Iu Release
command)) is defined as:
AVG _ RAB _ HLD _ TM _ CS _ VOICE
/ 100( s)
DENOM _ RAB _ HLD _ TM _ CS _ VOICE M1001C199/M1001C200

Due to mobility these KPIs are only accurate on network level.

 RAB Setup Time KPI (average)

The result represents the average time to successfully establish a CS voice RAB. A successful RAB
is defined as one for which the RNC sends a positive RANAP: RAB ASSIGNMENT RESPONSE
message.
UE RNC CORE
RAB Assignment Request
AVE _ RAB _ SETUP _ TM _ CS _ VOICE
Radio Bearer Setup / 100( s)
DENOM _ RAB _ SETUP _ TM _ CS _ VOICE
Radio Bearer Setup Complete
RAB Assignment Response
Triggering Point X

The AVG_RAB_SETUP_TM_CS_VOICE counter records the time between the RNC receiving a
RANAP: RAB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST and sending a positive RANAP: RAB ASSIGNMENT
RESPONSE. The counter sums the times for all successful RAB assignments.
The DENOM_ RAB_SETUP_TM_CS_VOICE is incremented by 1 after every successful RAB
assignment.
The factor of 100 appearing within the KPI calculation is a result of NSN internal representation of the
counter value. NSN uses a 10 ms unit for the AVG_RAB_SETUP_TM counter.
Same counters and formula is possible for any RAB (CS_VOICE, CS_CONV, PS_INTER,
PS_BACKG)
The KPI is meaningful for cell level and on hour basis

RAB Setup Time KPI (maximum)
• maximum setup time for RAB can be measured
• it is absolute maximum setup time per measurement period:

M1001C604 RAB SETUP TIME MAX CS VOICE
M1001C605 RAB SETUP TIME MAX CD DATA
M1001C608 RAB SETUP TIME MAX PS INTERACTIVE

100  60  60

The KPI should be generated on a daily and cluster basis (due to the
triggering rules of the RAB holding time).
Same KPI for each CS traffic class:
• CS_CONV
• CS_STREA

The KPI represents the average time between abnormal RAB releases during CS

The KPI should be generated on a daily and cluster basis (due to the triggering
rules of the RAB holding time).

RAB drop now also includes failure due to transport:

 Traffic Mix KPIs
The KPI provides an indication of the percentage of CS voice, CD data, PS data RAB
establishment attempts relative to the total number of RAB establishment attempts.
The KPI is meaningful for cluster/cell level and on day/hour basis
These KPI are intended to provide a high level indication of the traffic profile loading the
network:
• CS_VOICE, CS_CONV, CS_STREA
• PS_STREA, PS_INTER, PS_BACKG, (PS_CONV)

 Packet Switched Radio Access Bearers

42 © Nokia Siemens Networks RANKPI /BAs / 05.05.2009

Packet Call
• Every call starts with RRC connection establishment
• UE indicates in Initial Direct Transfer service type
• Security functions triggered from CN follow

• CN sends RABAssignmentRequest to RNC to set-up resources

• RNC allocates DCH0/0 without resource checks and responds
with RABAssignmentResponse => easy to have high CSSR
• In parallel there is GPRS Mobility Management signalling for
packet call setup
• After receiving UL or DL CR, RNC checks and allocates available
resources

43 © Nokia Siemens Networks RANKPI /BAs / 05.05.2009

PS terminology
• A packet call is a data transfer session that uses DCH, HS-
DSCH, or E-DCH channels, starting from a successful capacity
allocation (AC, BTS, transmission, RNC-internal) and ending to a
dedicated resource release (for example, transfer to FACH/PCH,
DCH 0/0, RAB release, outgoing relocation, HHO, ISHO)
• Packet calls start from DCH0/0
• One RAB can contain multiple packet calls
• Packet call sessions are active data transfer periods
• Packet call session start from the respective Capacity Request,
i.e. establishment of RLC protocol entity

 RAB Bit rate Counters

50 © Nokia Siemens Networks RANKPI /BAs / 05.05.2009

RAB Bit rate Counters
New RAB Bit Rate distribution counters introduced for measuring the number of
NRT RAB setup requests received from the core network, classified by the uplink
and downlink maximum bit rate.

• RAN 1509
• ASW Controlled with RNC license

• RAB Bitrate Counters show the requested NRT Bit rates from Core Network
• The Request depends on user specific subscription
• Maximum Uplink Bitrate
• Maximum Downlink Bitrate
• Performance Experts can compare avg. Bit rate from CN and avg. allocated
Bearer Bitrate in a cell
• If there is mismatch, most probably capacity constraints
• Note: Counters show attempts for RAB Bit rate, not Radio Bearer Bit rate

Most KPIs from CS section can also be used for PS.

For PS NRT traffic classes (interactive and background) there are
also counters for DCH Holding time .
They are incremented:

▪ when the RAB is released

▪ only on the cell that was the reference when the RAB is released (i.e
the cell that provided FMCS parameters)
▪ and in the hour in which it was released

RAN2412: Inter Circle Roaming 1/6
For the situation that:
1. the operator has own 2G coverage in the area, but wants to direct its 3G subscriber to
another 3G operator to enable 3G services
2. operators agree on a certain type of resource split in the 3G network so that, for
example, the proportional network resources are consumed by the owning operator
(Provider) subscribers and the ICR operator (Seeker) subscribers

- ICR allows capacity sharing according to certain weights and enables ISHOs to home
2G networks
- allows the operator to offer 3G services in an area with no proprietary 3G spectrum.
- the feature allows the 3G operator to share network capacity with operators who do not
have 3G coverage in the area
- this feature is not the MORAN because only one operator has a spectrum in the area
- operator-specific quota split is a BTS-level parameter
- RNC enforces the quota split separately in each cell
- Utilization counters related to the capacity utilization for voice (in Erls) and data (Mbps)
are available per operator ID level (up to five operators)

voice calls are handed over to the downgraded to normally
correct operator's 2G network the lower bit rates

1. the operator who exceeds his quota the most is the target operator for the load decrease activities

2. the quota is checked against the DL spreading code usage: when the first operator’s spreading code usage had
been reduced to the agreed quota, then if the load is still over the threshold, the next operator exceeding his quota is
targeted

3. while the cell is in load state and a new incoming call faces congestion, the candidates for the release or
downgrade are selected based on the code use of each operator
