3G KPIs Principle: S.M.A.R.T

Specific
the KPI has clear and complete definition and
formula, include check point and procedure. KPIs are

measurable by given condition, Measurable
measurement equipment and procedure. all the KPIs should
be reachable, it is refer to the Attainable
commercial network.
Relevant
the KPI can show the subscriber experience
Time-bound the KPI target should be on the base of time-bound

Page 3
3G KPIs : Specific
Complete KPI definition include the formula combine with the check
point or procedure.
The example: RRC Connection Successful Rate
formula
RRCS_SR Service
RRCConnect ionSuccess
= RRCConnect ionAttemptservice 100%
service
Check point
The number of RRC Connection Attempt is A1
or A2?
A2 represent the effective number of
RRC Connection Attempt.

3G KPIs : Measurable - Drive Test

Driver test route is based on
cluster, it is involved about 20
sites in one cluster usually.
Field Test -> Drive Test

Evaluate the overall network
performance, usually on the network
pre-launch phase and initial stage
of commercial launch.
Test platform
Multiple test model
UEs can perform
different tests.
Data analysis
Probe & Assistant is used
for analyzing test data

3G KPIs : Measurable - Stationary test

System KPI is suggested to be
test by stationary:
Field Test ->stationary Test

Evaluate the system / equipment performance.
Throughput KPI
Delay KPI
Quality KPI
Core Network
Stationary test condition is fixed,

and usually used in indoor test
scenario.

The impact of missing neighbours

DL R99 throughput has been impacted by the interference generated by missing
neighbors, mostly concerning the new sites that had been recently put on air
Areas with low throughput corresponds to bad Ec/Io figures and HHO to 2G
Low throughput
UE handover to GSM

Page 37
Other causes
In addition to coverage and missing neighbour causes, the HSDPA
minimum throughput problem is due to:
DT route crosses the IUR area where HSDPA calls are reconfigured to
DCH (H2D)
UE moves from a non-hotspot to a hotspot site in HSDPA connected mode
