Network Quality Management
Background

Good KPI but bad user experience
Many new sites / new NE implementation with
improper parameter
Many in-consistent parameter on existing sites/NE
Many adjustment on parameter that can improve
KPI but effecting worse user experience


4
Network Quality Management
Objective

To Have standard parameter that could impact user
experience for all existing & new sites / NE
To Decrease Gap between KPI achievement and user
experience


5
Network Quality Management
General Concept

3 Categorize of parameter :
1. Optimization parameter
2. Non-Optimization parameter
3. Non-Optimization parameter (as design)
Non-Optimization parameter will be categorized into service
impact & non service impact
Non-Optimization parameter that service impact is parameter
that if modified will improve KPI but effecting user experience
worse
So these parameter must follow Tsel NPT value

Sampling: 2G RLT Setting
Radio Link Time Out BalNus vs CJ
RLT setting in Balnus is too short if
compare to setting in CJ that mostly RLT
in maximum setting.
Inline with the setting, drop call in
BalNus is worst than CJ.

Network Quality Management
Sampling: 3G RLT Setting (T313&T314)
T314 setting in Balnus is around 4 to 5 seconds while setting in CJ in maximum setting (20
second) and only one RNC is 12 second.
Inline with the setting, CCSR CS in BalNus is worst than CJ.

CCR Trend & Improvement
We need to standardize all service impact parameter setting in order to
Have standard parameter that could impact user experience for all existing & new sites / NE
Decrease Gap between KPI achievement and user experience

Key Programs:
Standardized TIAS/TIAR Value for all network element in
Telkomsel Network and meet the 3gpp parameter tuning
Documentation where TIAR 2 x TIAS + Margin Time

Key Indicator:
Maintain and improve SCR CCR
Uniform and Standardized Value for all Node

Descriptions:
TIAS/TIAR are Sending and Receiving inactive SCCP connection status timer supervision that
lead the SCCP to control whole connection processes. In 3gpp standard TIAS is a Periodic
"Inactive Test", the message are sent to the remote SCCP when no after message have
been sent on the connection for the timer duration. In other hand the connection is
terminated by TIAR time if no message are received from remote SCCP node for the
duration of the time.

Benefit :
Improve Network Performance & Network Productivity

Key Indicator:
Maintain and improve SCR CCR
Maintain and improve Paging Success Rate

Descriptions:
Paging Timer is the core supervision time when network trying to reach subscriber status in
radio network whenever call set up phase establishment. Lower Paging time response mean
faster call set up time. Paging time in core network should consider all the set up time taking
place in radio part. Standard time paging timer formula :

MSC TIME > BSC TIME + Guard Time (for IDR)
