1.2 Explanations of KPIs
1.2.1 Explanations of iBSC External Interface Load Indicators
1.2.1.1 Abis Link Utility Rate (TDM E1 Abis)
Description: When TDM E1 Abis interface is adopted, this indicator is used to display the
occupation status of the transmission TS on the Abis interface.
Calculation formula: C901040002/No. of Abis TS configured.
C901040002 counts the average number of Abis TS used. The result of the formula
indicates the rate of TS occupied on Abis interface.
Note: The number of Abis TS configured should be obtained from the Abispool TS
configured for each site. C901040002 counts the average number of Abis TS used per
cells; the sum of Abis TS in all the cells may exceed the total No. of TS configured.
1.2.1.2 Abis Uplink/Downlink Utility Rate (IP Abis-FE)
Description: When IP Abis-FE is adopted, this indicator displays the occupation status of
bandwidth on the Abis interface.
Calculation formula:
Uplink bandwidth utility rate = C304090002/Bandwidth allocated by the bearer network

(kbps);
Downlink bandwidth utility rate = C304090003/Bandwidth allocated by the bearer

network (kbps).
C304090002 counts the average transmission rate (kbps) of SDR uplink; C304090003
counts the average transmission rate (kbps) of SDR downlink.
Note: When IP Abis-FE is adopted, the bearer network allocates bandwidth to the sites.

1.2.1.3 Abis Uplink/Downlink Bandwidth Utility Rate (IP Abis-IPOE)
Description: When IP Abis-IPOE is adopted, this indicator is used to display the

occupation status of bandwidth on the Abis interface.
Uplink bandwidth utility rate = (C901840001*8/1024/3600)/(No. of PPP TS*64kbps);
Downlink bandwidth utility rate = (C901840011*8/1024/3600)/(No. of PPP TS*64kbps).
C901840001 counts the Bytes transmitted by SDR on the uplink PPP channel;
C901840011 counts the Bytes received by SDR on the downlink PPP channel.
Note: The counters count the number of bytes transmitted/received per PPP links; the
No. of TS for each PPP link is obtained from the configuration data.
1.2.1.4 Gb Uplink/Downlink Utility Rate (E1)
Description: When Gb-FR is adopted, this indicator is used to display the occupation
status of links on the Gb interface.
Gb interface uplink utility rate = (C901460005*8/1024/3600)/(No. of BRCH link TS on Gb

interface*64);
Gb interface downlink utility rate = (C901460004*8/1024/3600)/(No. of BRCH link TS on

Gb interface*64).
C901460005 counts the Bytes transmitted on the uplink of FR link; C901460004 counts
the Bytes received on the downlink of FR link.
Note: The No. of BRCH link TS on the Gb interface is obtained from the configuration
data.
1.2.1.5 Gb Uplink/Downlink Bandwidth Utility Rate (IP)
Description: This indicator displays the occupation status of uplink/downlink bandwidth

on the IPGb interface.
IPGb uplink bandwidth utility rate = C901820008/Bandwidth allocated by the bearer

network (kbps);
IPGb downlink bandwidth utility rate = C901820006/Bandwidth allocated by the bearer

network (kbps).

C901820008 counts the average transmission rate on the IP interface; C901820006

counts the average receiving rate on the IP interface.
Note: when IPGb interface is adopted, the bandwidth on the interface is allocated by the
data bearer network, therefore it is obtained from the data bearer network. The IP
interface types (Gb, IPA, IPAbis) are not differentiated during the rate counting on the IP
interface, therefore we need to manually confirm each IP interface type.
1.2.1.6 A Interface Trunk Utility Rate (E1/STM-1)
Description: When TDM A is adopted, this indicator displays the occupation status of the
trunk circuit on the A interface.
Calculation formula: C901380019/C901380001.
C901380019 counts the average number of busy trunk circuits; C901380001 counts the
average number of available trunk circuits.
Note: None.
1.2.1.7 A Interface Downlink Bandwidth Utility Rate (IP)
Description: When IPA is adopted, this indicator displays the occupation status of the
transmission bandwidth on the A interface.
Uplink bandwidth utility rate on A interface = C901820008/Bandwidth allocated by the

bearer network (kbps);
Downlink bandwidth utility rate on A interface = C901820006/Bandwidth allocated by the

bearer network (kbps).
C901820008 counts the average transmission rate on the IP interface; C901820006

counts the average receiving rate on the IP interface.
Note: when IPA is adopted, the bandwidth on the interface is allocated by the data
bearer network, therefore it is obtained from the data bearer network. The IP interface
types (Gb, IPA, IPAbis) are not differentiated during the rate counting on the IP interface,
therefore we need to manually confirm each IP interface type.
1.2.1.8 Signaling No.7 Uplink/Downlink Utility Rate
Description: This indicator displays the load of Signaling No.7 link.

Signaling No.7 uplink utility rate = C901670046/10000;
Signaling No.7 downlink utility rate = C901670047/10000.
C901670046 represents the load per ten thousand of Signaling No.7 uplink;
C901670047 represents the load per ten thousand of Signaling No.7 downlink.
Note: None.
1.2.1.9 Ater Interface Trunk Utility Rate (E1)
Description: When the Ater interface is adopted (with TC built outside), this indicator
displays the occupation status of the trunk circuit on the Ater interface.
Calculation formula: (C901600005/2+C901600004)/C901600003.
C901600005 counts the maximum number of busy 8K trunk circuits on the Ater
interface; C901600004 counts the maximum number of busy 16K trunk circuits on the
Ater interface; C901600003 counts the average of available 16K trunk circuits on the
Ater interface.
Note: The 8K trunk circuits are used for HR service; the 16K trunk circuits are used for
FR service.
Two 8K trunk circuits can be multiplexed in one 16K sub-TS.
1.2.2 Explanations of iBSC Board Resource Utility Rate
1.2.2.1 CMP CPU Utility Rate
Description: This indicator displays the CPU load of the main processing unit of iBSC.
Calculation formula: C900050001; it counts the average load of CMP CPU.
Note: The CPU load statistics contain the CPU loads of all the boards. We need to filter
out the CPU load of CMP manually.
1.2.2.2 UPPB DSP Timeslot Utility Rate
Description: This indicator displays the TS resource occupation status of single DSP on
UPPB.
Calculation formula: (C901440003/C901440004)/C901440002.
C901440003 counts the total number of used DSP TSs; C901440004 counts the number
of samplings for counting DSP TS resource; C901440003/C901440004 represents the
average occupation times of DSP TS; C901440002 counts the available DSP TS.

Note: The DSP TS resource on UPPB is used to process PS service; each UPPB
(GUP2) has 15 DSPs, and each DSP processes 400 16K channels.
1.2.2.3 AIPB UDP Port Utility Rate (IPA)
Description: When IPA is adopted, this indicator displays the occupation status of the
UDP port on AIPB, the user plane processing board of the A interface.
Calculation formula: C901380020/C901380006.
C901380020 counts the average number of occupied UDP ports; C901380006 counts
the average number of available UDP ports.
Note: None.
2 iBSC Load Optimization & Capacity

When the load of iBSC exceeds a certain threshold, it is necessary to take effective load
optimization measures and capacity expansion measures to reduce the load, so as to
make the iBSC operate stably and improve customer perception.

method and capacity expansion method.

1.2 Explanations of KPIs

1.2.1 Explanations of iBSC External Interface Load Indicators

1.2.1.1 Abis Link Utility Rate (TDM E1 Abis)

Calculation formula: C901040002/No. of Abis TS configured.

1.2.1.2 Abis Uplink/Downlink Utility Rate (IP Abis-FE)

Uplink bandwidth utility rate = C304090002/Bandwidth allocated by the bearer network

Downlink bandwidth utility rate = C304090003/Bandwidth allocated by the bearer

1.2.1.3 Abis Uplink/Downlink Bandwidth Utility Rate (IP Abis-IPOE)

Description: When IP Abis-IPOE is adopted, this indicator is used to display the

Uplink bandwidth utility rate = (C901840001*8/1024/3600)/(No. of PPP TS*64kbps);

Downlink bandwidth utility rate = (C901840011*8/1024/3600)/(No. of PPP TS*64kbps).
