 Classification of KPI Measurement
 The quality of network performance is mainly evaluated by KPI (Key
Performance Index)
 Performance Measurement KPI (discussed in this class ）
 Most of KPIs are attained by this approach, such as RRC success Rate, HO
success rate, e.g. these KPIs are from eNodeB performance statistic.
 Drive Test KPI (discussed in Tuning class ）
 Some KPIs should be attained by drive test, such as such as latency KPIs,
measurement results are from driver test tools such as Probes and Assistant.

 Collection Method and Reporting Period
 Collection methods (TS 32.403)
 CC (Cumulative Counter), for example, Attempted RRC connection establishments;
 Dynamic Counter, used when data being measured can vary up or down during the
period of measurement, for example, Maximum ERAB Setup time;
 DER (Discrete Event Registration), when data related to a particular event are
captured every nth event is registered, where n can be 1 or larger, for example, Cell
Unavailable Time, Mean E-RAB Setup time;
 SI (Status Inspection), for example, Average Number of simultaneous ERABs;
 Reporting period
 The measurement results are collected in a pre-defined reporting period, and this
reporting period, in general, is configurable at EMS, for example, 15mins, 60mins..

 User Average Throughput (New Introduced
inMeasurement

eRAN8.1) Principle for DL User Throughput
 The User Downlink Average Throughput KPI indicates the average downlink
UE throughput in a cell. According to 3GPP TS 32.450, the throughput
measurement needs to remove the data scheduled in the last TTI before the
downlink buffer is empty.

Refer to TS 32.450

Introduced in eRAN8.1)
 User Downlink Average Throughput
 This KPI evaluates the average downlink UE throughput in a cell.
 It’s calculated based on the total downlink traffic volume except for the data scheduled
in the last TTI before the downlink buffer is empty and the downlink data transmission
duration except for the last TTI before the downlink buffer is empty.

 Cell Maximum Throughput
 Cell Downlink Maximum Throughput
 This KPI evaluates the cell downlink maximum throughput when there are data
transferring at downlink. It reflects the cell capacity. It is calculated based on maximum
value of downlink traffic volume which are transferred at each second.

services

 Description
 The counters measure the maximum uplink/downlink traffic volume for received/transmitted
PDCP SDUs of each service with a different QCI ranging from 1 to 9 in a cell.
 Measurement Points
 The size of the payloads in the received/transmitted PDCP SDUs of each service with a different
QCI is sampled per second in a cell. The size is accumulated at each sampling point. At the end of
a measurement period, the maximum of these sampling results is used as the value of the
corresponding counter.

 Restrictions on Measurement Activations
 The period of measurement on northbound interface should be consist with
southbound interface. So far, Huawei support 15minutes and 60minutes periods
as default.
 There is no restrictions on the number of NE objects, measurement objects for
15minutes and 60minutes measurement periods. M2000 can provide all
measurement results of all managed NEs via northbound performance file
interface.
