Agenda
KPI STS in MGW STS in MSC

KPI
KPI Key Performance Indicator (KPI) a main measurement indicator, used to highlight the status of vital functionality Performance Indicator (PI) a supporting measurement indicator, used both to provide additional information about functionality covered by the KPIs as well as for providing information about additional functionality not directly covered by the KPIs

MSC Statistic
STS Object type Trunkroute, C7SL1, UPDLOCAT, NBRMSCLST, EOS, LOAS, HLRSTAT, LOSSROUTE Counters Every STS Object type contain Counters which is used for achieving the statistic.

Trunkroute
Counter NCALLSI NCALLSO NOVERFLOWI NOVERFLOWO NDEV Description Number of detected seizures (incoming route). The counter is stepped when an accepted seizure is received. Number of detected seizures (outgoing route) Number of calls with congestion (incoming route) Number of calls with congestion (outgoing route) Number of devices in the trunk route (devices in pre or post service state are excluded) Number of accumulations Accumulated traffic level (incoming route) Accumulated traffic level (outgoing route) Number B-answers in the incoming route Number B-answers in the outgoing route

Trunk Route Continue

Trunk utilization Call Attempt ASR Sample of the Formula

C7SL1
Counter NSIFTR NSIFSRE NMSUTR NMSURE Counter UNAVAILDUR ASLDUR Description Number of SIF and SIO octets transmitted Number of SIF and SIO octets received Number of MSUs transmitted Number of MSUs received Description Duration of SL unavailability (all reasons) in seconds Duration of link In-Service state in seconds

C7SL1Continue
Signalling link utilization C7 availability

Formula
PI Link-avail_ETSI = ASLDUR / (ASLDUR+UNAVAILDUR) * 100%

UPDLOCAT
Counter NLOCOLDTOT NLOCNRGTOT Description Total nr. of location updating attempts for already registered subscribers over A-interface and Iu-interface Total nr. of location updating attempts from nonregistered subscribers (IMSI attach, normal LU or periodic LU) over A-interface and Iu-interface

NLOCOLDSUCC
NLOCNRGSUCC NLOCNRG2TOT

Nr. of successful location updating for already registered subscribers over A-interface and Iu-interface
Nr. of successful location updating for non-registered subscribers over A-interface and Iu-interface Number of location updating attempts from nonregistered subscribers (IMSI attach, normal location updating, or periodic updating) over Gs-Interface Number of successful location updatings for nonregistered subscribers over Gs-Interface Number of location updating attempts for already registered subscribers over Gs-Interface Number of successful location updatings for already registered subscribers over Gs-Interface

NLOCNRG2SUCC NLOCOLD2TOT NLOCOLD2SUCC

UPDLOCATContinue
LOCATION UPDATE performance Formula

NBRMSCLST
Object type for Handover InterMSC performance
Counter NNBRHBANTOT NNBRHBANSUCC NNBRHSANTOT NNBRHSANSUCC NNBRHINATOT Description Number of basic handover attempts to a neighbouring MSC Number of successful basic handovers to a neighbouring MSC Number of subsequent handover attempts from the neighbouring MSC back to the anchor MSC/VLR Server Number of successful subsequent handovers from the neighbouring MSC back to the anchor MSC/VLR Server

Number of incoming handover attempts from neighbouring MSC (incoming handovers include basic handovers and subsequent handovers from neighboring MSC)

NNBRHINASUCC

Number of successful incoming handovers from neighbouring MSC(incoming handovers include basic handovers and subsequent handovers from neighboring MSC)

NNBRHSNATOT

Number of subsequent handover attempts to neighbouring MSC (back to anchor or to third MSC) Number of successful subsequent handovers to neighbouring MSC(back to anchor or to third MSC) Number of subsequent handover attempts from neighbouring MSC to third MSC. The target MSC is the measuring object.

NNBRHSNASUCC

NNBRHTHITOT

NNBRHTHISUCC

Number of successful subsequent handover attempts from neighbouring MSC to third MSC. The target MSC is the measuring object.

LOAS and HLRSTAT

LOAS is the general Object type that found in all AXE platform, it shown the processor Load HLRSTAT is the object type of MSC that will shown the subscriber attached and registered

LOSSROUTE
Last but not the least, LOSSROUTE will shown all the Route that used for IN, Interrogation, and Announcement

EOS
Is the Statistic for End Of Selection Related to the ISUP release Cause. Useful for troubleshooting in the operation

Statistic In MGW
In MGW the data collected called Performance Measurement data, PM It collected in the OSS for post processing, and the post processing tool that used is the Business object

PM Counter in MGW
MediaStream Channel utilization rate TDM termination Group Processor Load MTP2 Signalling Usage AAL2 Traffic per VC AAL2 Pipe utilization

Business Object

Media Stream
Erlang Load in the MGW
The current traffic load = MgwApplication.pmNrOfMediaStreamChannelsBusy /2.005

The Software Licensing, Media Stream Channel Utilization Rate measurement is used for calculating the utilization rate of licensed media stream channels, that is utilized licensed software capacity. The measurement is made for physical MMGw.
Media stream channel utilization rate (in %) = (MgwApplication.pmNrOfMediaStreamChannelsBusy / MgwApplication.maxNrOfLicMediaStreamChannels) * 100

TDM Termination Group

The TDM Termination Group Utilization Rate measurement is used for calculating the current utilization rate of a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) termination group and the amount of TDM traffic in the node.
TDM group utilization rate (as %)= (TdmTermGrp.pmNrOfTdmTermsBusy /MAX_NR_OF_TDM_TERMS) * 100

Processor Load
The Processor Load measurement is used for calculating the processor load of a board The measurement will provide the average processor load of a board for the last 5 minutes From processor load point of view, General Purpose Boards used for signalling are considered to be the most critical ones to monitor Formula
The average processor load of a board (in %) = PlugInUnit.pmProcessorLoad

GCP statistic
The GCP Link Uptime measurement shows the time in seconds the GCP link has been in operation.
GCP link uptime in seconds = Vmgw.pmGcpSystemUpTime

MTP2 Signalling Link usage

The MTP2 Signalling Link Usage measurements are used to show the number of received and sent Message Signal Units (MSUs) per second, as well as kbps, during the measurement period
Received kbps on an MTP2 link = ((Mtp2TerminationPoint.pmNoOfSIOSIFReceived * 8) + (Mtp2TerminationPoint.pmNoOfMSUReceived *MTP2_MSU_HDR)) / (1000 * MEAS_LENGTH)
Transmitted kbps on an MTP2 link = ((Mtp2TerminationPoint.pmNoOfSIOSIFTransmitted * 8) + (Mtp2TerminationPoint.pmNoOfMSUTransmitted *MTP2_MSU_HDR)) / (1000 * MEAS_LENGTH)

AAL2
The Usage Rate of Received and Transmitted ATM Cells on an ATM Port measurements are used for calculating the usage rate (as %) on an ATM port during the measurement period. The measurement is made for ATM port.
Usage rate of received cells = (1 ((AtmPort.pmReceivedAtmCells / MEAS_LENGTH) / 353,207) * 100)
