1 Overview
Overview
With the initial target of downlink peak data rate reaching above 100 Mbit/s, the
next-generation Long Term Evolution (LTE) system is developed to meet the increasing
demands on higher data rate due to fast expansion of multimedia applications. For a new
wireless system like the LTE, a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are defined for the
evaluation of system performance, in particular the performance of the evolved Radio Access
Network (eRAN). The comparison between the LTE and the legacy systems such as UMTS or
CDMA2000 system is also specified in this document.
This document specifies a set of eRAN KPIs to evaluate the performance of the LTE system.
Some counters necessary for the KPI calculation are also described in details. Given that the
LTE is a new system, the KPIs in this document are drafted ones and subject to change. KPIs
should be updated according to the experiences of commercial network management and
radio network optimization.
The KPIs in this document are classified into categories based on the measurement targets:
accessibility, retainability, mobility, service integrity, utilization, availability, and traffic KPIs.
This document is organized as follows: firstly we briefly describe the KPI specification
template. Then detailed specifications of each KPI are described in terms of the
aforementioned seven categories. Finally we provide definitions of relevant counters in
Chapter 11 Counter List.

KPI Reference
According to the template, the KPI is defined in terms of the following items. Each KPI has
several sub-clauses.
Descriptions
It provides a brief overview of the KPI.
Measurement scope
It specifies the KPI monitoring scope. In general, the measurement is made in terms of
cells. The KPI value reflects the performance in a cell or a cluster. The associated
counters can be obtained from cell statistics. In this document, cluster indicates a group
of cells selected by user.
Formula
It is used to calculate the KPI. Generally the formula consists of several counters that are
specified in other sub-clauses.
Associated counters
It contains counters used in the formula. Chapter 11 Counter List provides the counter
descriptions.

3 Accessibility KPIs
Accessibility KPIs
Accessibility KPIs are used to measure the probability whether services requested by a user
can be accessed within specified tolerances in the given operating conditions. The service
provided by the E-UTRAN is defined as EPS/ERABs. Radio Resource Control (RRC)
connection and System Architecture Evolution (ERAB) setup are the main procedures for
accessibility KPIs. The accessibility KPIs can be calculated per cell or cluster. The KPIs at the
cluster level are calculated by aggregating all cell counters of the same cluster.

Retainability KPIs
Retainability KPIs are used to evaluate the network capability to retain services requested by
a user for a desired duration once the user is connected to the services. These counters can be
calculated per cell or per cluster. The KPIs at the cluster level can be calculated by
aggregating all the cell counters. Retainability KPIs are important in evaluating whether the
system can maintain the service quality at certain level.

As shown in Figure 4-1, the abnormal ERAB release counter is incremented when the
eNodeB sends an E-RAB Release Indication to the MME or receives an UE Context Release
Command message from the MME and the release causes are not Normal Release, User
Inactivity, Partial Handover, or Handover triggered. If the message contains several ERAB ID
IEs (in the ERAB to Be Release List IE), the counter will be incremented for each individual
ERAB.
For the eNodeB-initiated abnormal ERAB release, the eNodeB knows whether it is a normal
or abnormal ERAB release.

Mobility KPIs
Mobility KPIs are used to evaluate the performance of E-UTRAN mobility, which is critical
to the customer experience. Several categories of mobility KPIs are defined based on the
following handover types: intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and inter-Radio Access
Technology (RAT).

Two scenarios are available for the inter-eNodeB HO, as shown Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3.
The HO attempts are collected at point B. When the Source-eNodeB (S-eNodeB) sends an
RRCConnectionReconfiguration message to the UE, it decides to perform an inter-eNodeB
HO. In this KPI, the source and target cells of the handover are at the same frequency. The
number of inter-eNodeB intra-frequency HO attempts is measured at the source cell.
The number of inter-eNodeB intra frequency success HOs is collected at point C as shown in
Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3. During a handover with the source and target cells at the same
frequency, the number of successful inter-eNodeB intra-frequency HOs is measured in the
source cell when the S-eNodeB receives a UE Context Release message from the
Target-eNodeB (T-eNodeB) or a UE Context Release Command message from the MME,
indicating that the UE access to the T-eNodeB is successful.

5.2.1 Description
This KPI can be used to evaluate the inter-frequency handover out success rate in a cell or a
cluster. Note that the measurement points for the associated counters are the same as those for
the intra-frequency HO scenario described in 5.1.1 . The target LTE cell operates at the
frequency different from that of the source LTE cell, which is the only difference.
As shown in Figure 5-1, if the source and target cells at different frequencies are controlled by
the same eNodeB, the eNodeB counts the number of intra-eNodeB inter-frequency HO
attempts at point B and the successful intra-eNodeB inter-frequency HOs at point C in the
source cell. As shown in Figure 5-2, if the handover source and target cells are at different
frequencies, the eNodeB counts the number of inter-eNodeB inter-frequency HO attempts at
point B and the successful intra-eNodeB inter-frequency HOs at point C in the source cell.
5.2.2 Definition
The inter-frequency handover out success rate is defined in Table 5-2. Note that the HO

As shown in Figure 5-7, the measurement for inter-RAT HO from LTE to CDMA attempt is
collected at point B where the eNodeB sends a MobilityFromEUTRACommand message to
the UE and decides to perform a handover to the CDMA system. The measurement of

UE Context Release Command message to the eNodeB through the MME after accessing the
CDMA system.

Counter List
Table 11-1 provides a counter list including all counters relevant to the KPI calculation. In
each KPI specification, one or several parameters are used to calculate the KPI as shown in
the KPI formula. Each parameter is mapped to a counter. For details on each counter, see the
Reference [6].
Note that only QCI 1 is for VoIP service (conversational voice). According to Table6.1.7 in
Reference [5], QCI 7 can also be assigned to non-conversational voice. In this document, QCI
7 is not considered as the VoIP service in the KPI calculation.
