4.1.2 Connection Success Ratio

This describes the performance measurement item Connection Success Ratio.
Formula
Connection Success Ratio = ([Successful Connection Times[Times]]/[Connection Requests
[Times]]) x 100%
Meaning
This item reflects the proportion of the A9-Update A8 Ack messages that the AN receives from
the PCF after the AN receives the ConnectionRequest messages from the AT during the
establishment of EV-DO connections.
Explanation
The major factors that cause EV-DO connection failures are as follows:
l
Allocation of call resources fails.
Reverse TCH search fails.
The TrafficChannelComplete message is not received.
The analysis method is similar to that of the 1X call setup success rate.
Solution
If such problems occur, adjust the switch configuration and improve the condition of the air
interface (for example, by clearing interference) to improve the connection success rate.
For details, see 6.1.2 Connection Performance Stat.
4.1.3 Intra-BS Soft HO Success Ratio

This describes the performance measurement item Intra-BS Soft HO Success Ratio.
Formula

Explanation
The factors that cause EV-DO soft handoff failures are as follows:
l

The analysis method is similar to that of the 1X call soft handoff success rate.
Solution
See 3.1.5 Soft HO Success Ratio
4.1.4 Connection Drop Ratio

This describes the performance measurement item Connection Drop Ratio.
Formula
Connection Drop Ratio[%] = (Connection release(RF lost)[Times] + Connection release(Other
causes)[Times])/Successful Connection Times[Times] x 100%
Meaning
Connection drop ratio after the connection is established
Explanation
This specification reflects the wireless environment and system quality of the CDMA. A certain
ratio of call drop is normal in the wireless network. Some cells which have high call drop ratio,
however, need to be optimized. Call drops are mainly caused by the loss of the air interface and
other exceptions.
Solution
When the connection drop ratio is high, check the radio environment and network coverage.
4.1.5 Link Data Retransmission Rate

This describes the performance measurement items of Link Data Retransmission Rate.
Formula
l
Forward Link Data Retransmission Rate[%] = Octets Resent on request of AT[Byte]/(1024

x Total RLP Octets Sent on Forward Channels[KB]) x 100%
Reverse Link Data Retransmission Rate[%] = Octets Resent on request of AN[Byte]/(1024

x RLP Octets Received on Reverse Channels[KB]) x 100%
Forward Link Data Retransmission Rate: ratio of the amount of forward data re-sent on the
RLP layer to the total amount of forward data
Reverse Link Data Retransmission Rate: ratio of the amount of reverse data re-sent on the

too high, query the Ec/Io and reverse FER to check the radio environment.
4.1.6 Hard HO Success Ratio

This describes the performance measurement items of Hard HO Success Ratio.
Formula
l
Intra-AN Hard HO Success Ratio = ([Successful Intra-AN Hard HO]/[Intra-AN Hard HO

Requests]) x 100%
Inter-AN Hard HO Success Ratio [%] = (Successful Inter-AN Hard HOs[Times] +

Successful Inter-AN Incoming Hard HOs[Times])/(Inter-AN Hard HO Requests[Times] +
Inter-AN Incoming Hard HO Requests[Times])
Meaning
The performance measurement item Intra-AN Hard HO Success Ratio [%] reflects the situation
of inter-frequency hard handoffs within the same AN, whereas the performance measurement
item Inter-AN Hard HO Success Ratio [%] reflects the situation of intra-frequency handoffs and
abnormal handoffs between ANs.
Explanation
The system supports multiple hard handoff algorithms, for example, abnormal search hard
handoffs and RTD hard handoffs.
Solution
Choose an appropriate hard handoff algorithm, optimize hard handoff parameters, reasonably
plan the hard handoff areas, and optimize the neighboring cell configuration. If hard handoff
failures occur because of insufficiency of resources, expand the relevant resources.

Monitoring
cBSS
Formula
l
Density of Traffic Carried on TCH = (DO 0 Traffic Channel Connection Total time(DO 0)
[Second] + DO A Traffic Channel Connection Total time(DO A) [Second])/Measurement
period
Soft HO Ratio [%] = (DO 0 Traffic Channel CE Total time(DO 0) [Second] + DO A Traffic
Channel CE Total time(DO A) [Second] - DO 0 Traffic Channel Connection Total time
(DO 0) [Second] - DO A Traffic Channel Connection Total time(DO A) [Second])/(DO 0
Traffic Channel Connection Total time(DO 0) [Second] + DO A Traffic Channel
Connection Total time(DO A) [Second]) x 100%
Density of Traffic Carried on TCH: used to assess the usage of all the TCHs of the BSC or
carrier
Soft handoff proportion: used to access the proportion of resources occupied by soft
handoffs
Meaning
Explanation
Traffic
According to the traffic, we know the behavior of subscribers so that it is easy to figure out
network optimization goals and strategies.
When analyzing the measurement items, only the measurement data under heavy traffic has
statistical sense. This is especially true of overall performance measurement items. Pay attention
to sectors that bear heavy traffic. Attach priority to the solution of problems of sectors that bear
heavy traffic.
Soft HO
Soft handoffs use multiple sectors to support main and diversity gains for calls. In this way, the
link quality in the border areas of cells is improved. The power control function of the soft
handoff reduces the interference caused by an MS to other MSs.
Proper soft handoffs improve call quality, enlarge the coverage, and expand the system capacity.
If, however, the proportion of soft handoffs is too high, call drops are more likely to occur, the
signaling load on the system increases, CE resources of the system are occupied, and the forward
capacity is affected.
Solution
Traffic
l
When the traffic is so heavy that the system the system cannot bear, expand the system
capacity.
When the traffic is light, check whether the network qualityrelated measurement items
deteriorate. If they do, optimize them.
Soft HO
4-6
Soft handoff areas see the belt areas that are close to the border of neighboring cells and
have overlapping coverage from the neighboring cells. If there are so many soft handoff
areas that soft handoffs are triggered too frequently, check the areas at the borders of
neighboring cells.
Check whether the soft handoff parameters are properly configured.

4.2.2 Data Flow

This describes the performance measurement items related to the forward data flow sent by the
RLP.
Formula
RLP Octets Sent on Forward Channels (Including those resent) [KB/S] = RLP Octets Sent on
Forward Channels (Including those resent)[KB/S] + RLP Octets Resent on Forward Channels
[Byte]/1024
Meaning
Total amount of data that the RLP sends on the forward channel to the AT (including re-sent
data)
Explanation
This item reflects the actual throughput of the RLP. According to the throughput analysis, figure
out network optimization goals and strategies.
Solution
Expand the capacity if the data flow is constantly low.

Issue 2.0 (2008-03-14)

4-7

Monitoring
cBSS
Explanation
This item helps monitor the system load. Generally, the normal value of this item is below 70%.
The value of this item may be excessively in the following situations:
l
The traffic fluctuate sharply. (For example, on festivals or at ceremonies.)
Exceptions in the signaling board software
The SPUO encounters a bottleneck.
If exceptions occur during the operation of the singling board, check the related signaling
board.
If it is a bottleneck problem, expand the capacity.
Solution
4.3.2 DO CCH Synchronization Control Channel Usage

This describes the performance measurement item DO CCH Synchronization Control Channel
Usage.
Formula
DO CCH Sync Msg Using Ratio [%] = Total bits on the synchronous CCH of a carrier/(Packets
on the synchronous CCH of a carrier x Bits per packet) x 100%
Meaning
l
Total bits on the synchronous CCH of a carrier see bits of packets at the MAC layer
(excluding CC channel headers, padding, and reserved bits).
Packets on the synchronous CCH of a carrier see packets at the MAC layer.
Explanation
This item reflects the percentage of the useful bits in the timeslots actually used by the
synchronization control channel. This item helps us know the load on the CCH.
Solution
When the DO CCH Synchronization Control Channel Usage is low, expand the capacity or check
whether the network qualityrelated measurement items deteriorate. If they do, optimize them.
