Accessibility (1) RRC Setup Success Rate
RRC Setup Success Rate (service)

The RRC setup procedure is trigged by different reasons as identified by the

establishmentCause field in the RRCConnctionRequest message: emergency,
highPriorityAccess, mt-Access, mo-Signalling, mo-Data, delayTolerantAccess-v1020.
The UE sets the establishmentCause and received by eNodeB. Causes except mo-
Signalling are categorized as service related ones, and the cause of mo-Signalling
is categorized as signal related ones.
This KPI evaluates the RRC setup success rate with service related causes in a cell
or cluster.

RRC Setup Success Rate (Signal)

This KPI evaluates the RRC setup success rate with signal
related causes (mo-Signalling) in a cell or cluster.

 (3) QCI Definition
Accessibility (2)Counter Mapping for RRC SSR
LTE-SAE QoS Class Identifier
There are 9 QCIs defined in 3GPP TS 23.203. Each of QCI has its QoS
requirements, and each E-RAB will has the attribute of QCI.

success rate of VoIP service (QCI 1 service) in a cell
or cluster.

 (6) Call Setup Success Rate
VoIP Call Setup Success Rate (VoIP CSSR)
This KPI evaluates the success rate of the whole setup procedure for
VoIP service (QCI 1 service) in a cell or cluster, which mainly includes
three phases : RRC setup phase, S1 Signaling connection establishment
phase and VoIP E-RAB setup phase:

Retainability (1) Call Drop Rate
VoIP Call Drop Rate
This KPI can be used to evaluate the call drop rate of VoIP service (QCI 1 service) in a
cell or cluster, the call drops happen when eNode initiate active ERAB (with data in
buffer) release process by E-RAB Release Indication or UE Context Release Request
message with Cause field with abnormal reasons (the cause other than : Normal
Release,
Detach,User Inactivity, cs fallback triggered, UE Not Available For PS Service,or Inter-
RAT redirection), and all of the
other E-RAB releases are consider as normal E-RAB release. VoIP_CDR VoIP

Call Drop Rate(Always Online)

This KPI can be used to evaluate the call drop rate of all the services, including the
VoIP services, when the always online state is active. In always online state, the E-
RAB number of UE entering the un-synchronous state from synchronous state will be
considered for the KPI calculating.

Retainability (3) - Call Setup Complete Rate
Retainability (2)Counter Mapping for Call Drop Rate
VoIP Call Setup Complete Rate (VoIP CSTR)
This KPI evaluates the call Setup Complete Rate for VoIP service (QCI 1
service) in a cell or cluster, which means the rate of the VoIP service can
be normally terminated once user do the attempt to setup the service.
And it can include 4 phases: RRC setup phase, S1 Signaling connection
establishment phase, VoIP E-RAB setup phase and VoIP service E-RAB
release phase;
