Key Performance Indicators
This chapter covers the following topics;
Network Performance Measurement
Network Performance
Measurement
In GSM, performance of the network can be analyzed through KPIs. KPIs
are the specific counters, which represent statistics of overall performance
of the network. Network performance judgment such as about resource
status, service status or channel quality is possible through these statistics.
Statistics comes from the basic measurement of the Control System.
Degradation in the performance of the specific cells can be identified in
OMCR by analyzing the KPIs. In this way specific problem can be resolved
accordingly.
Table 4 lists the entire Key Performance Measurement Counters.

BTS Measurement
This chapter covers the following topics:
Power Control Measurement

TRX Service Measurement
Paging Messages Measurement
TRX Basic Measurement
TRX Power & Temperature Measurement
Power Control Measurement

Power Control enables the mobile station and/or the BTS to increase or
decrease the transmission power on a per-radio link basis.
Power Control is separately performed for the uplink and downlink. In both
cases the BSC is responsible for initiating Power Control; the mobile
station and the BTS adopt transmit power according to the BSC Power
Control commands.
Two modes of power control are:
Normal power control

Rapid power control
Amplitude of power adjustment in rapid control is greater than normal
power control.
BTS regularly samples the power of MS and BTS itself, to obtain average
power. BTS regularly reports the average power to BSC through PC TEST
RPT message, for power control. Measurement report helps in analyzing
the coverage quality as well as the effect and rate of power control.

Channels Measurement
Channel Measurement here means wireless channel measurement in a cell,
as mobile communication is always through wireless medium. It refers to
the measurement of channel properties, which directly affects the Quality
of Service (QoS) in wireless communication, in a particular cell. Channel
properties such as received level, received quality, Timing Advance (TA)
and interference of both uplink and downlink signals. These measurements
are for the channels in busy or idle modes.
BTS sends MS measurement report to BSC every 480ms. BSC measures

uplink and downlink signal, TA and RQ value in a channel. BSC updates
interference band in database when it receives measurement report from
BTS.

Random Access Measurement

Random access measurement provides statistics such as number of:
Random access attempts
Random access processes
Successful random accesses
For random access slot-aloha is used as an access protocol. Single access

may have multiple random access requests.

TCH/F Measurement Counters.
TCH/F Counters
TCH/F measurement counters provide statistics for the following channels:
TCH/F allocation requests

TCH/F allocations
TCH/F assignment requests
TCH/F assignments
TCH/F handover requests
TCH/F handovers
Two types of Assignment flow:
Immediate Assignment
Common Assignment
Immediate Assignment: MS originates the assignment request, which BSC
has to fulfill.
Common Assignment: MSC originates the assignment command for the

MS.
FIGURE 9 and FIGURE 10 illustrates the two types of assignment flows.

SAPI 3 Measurement
SAPI 3 Counters
SAPI 3 Introduction
The SAPI is a 6-bit field in LAPDm and defines the type of user to which a
message is addressed. Possible values of SAPI on Air-interface is SAPI=3
and SAPI=0. In this chapter SAPI 3 indicates SAPI=3.
This chapter only discusses the SAPI value equals to three (SAPI=3). SAPI
value equals to three (SAPI=3) is used for Supplementary Services (SS)
and Short Messages Services (SMS) on Air-interface.
If MS sends Short Message (SM), means MS originated SM (MO-SM).

Similarly if MS receives Short Message (SM), means MS terminated SM
(MT-SM). On the air interface SACCH/F, SACCH/H, SDCCH, FACCH/F and
FACCH/H transport short message. Present system implements counters
for SACH/F, SACH/H and SDDCH.

Handover Counters
General Handover measurement involves handover counters that provide
statistics for handover processes that arises from all types of handover
causes. These counters show handover success ratio, number of handover
attempts, execution, success and failure. This chapter analyzes handover
in aspect of the control entity and provides statistics for both the
executions and handover successes. These counters show statistics for
request, success and failure of intra-cell handover, intra-BSC inter-cell
handover and intra-MSC handover.

Timer initiates when SMM request RMM services. Call drops if RMM do
not respond within the specific time. Following cases may result in a
call drop.
SMM and RMM periodically shake hand with each other to refresh
the link. SMM sends status query to the RMM. SMM sets the timer
(T12) and waits for the RMM response. Timer (T12) expires if SMM
do not receive any response from RMM within the specific time,
hence call drops.
SMM send ‘Assignment Request’ message to RMM. SMM sets the
timer (T1) and waits for RMM response. Timer (T1) expires if SMM
do not receive any response from RMM, hence call drops.
SMM sends ‘Handover Request’ message to RMM, during the
handover-out process. SMM sets the timer (T8) and waits for RMM
response. Timer (T8) expires if SMM do not receive any response
from RMM, hence call drops.
SMM sends ‘Handover Request’ message to RMM, during the
handover-in process. SMM sets the timer (T4) and waits for RMM
response. Timer (T4) expires if SMM do not receive any response
from RMM, hence call drops.
Counter ‘C20503’ represents the number of call drops due to the
timeout.

Time)
Where;
Release Time: Time instance at which system releases the trunk circuit.
Previous Record Time: Time instance at which system applies for the
trunk circuit, but it unavailable due to congestion.
Another way to calculate the Total Congestion Time is to accumulate
the congestion period at discrete time instances, during the single

Adjacent Cell Handover

Measurement
This chapter introduces the measurement counters for handover between

the specified cells and their adjacent cells. These counters provide
statistics for both Intra-BSC handovers and MSC-controlled handovers.
Adjacent Cell Handover Counters

Handover Measurement Counters provides statistics only for the selected
cells. For measurement task, at the most 10 cells can be selected. Each
selected cell can have up to 32 adjacent cells. These counters provide
handover statistics between the selected cells and their adjacent cells.
Table 40 lists all the measurement counters.
Before explanation of the counters it is necessary to understand the Intra-

MSC handover and Intra-BSC handover.
Intra-MSC Handover
1. Serving BSC takes the Handover decision based on the
measurement reports from the MS.
2. Serving BSC sends ‘Handover Required’ message to MSC if
handover is decided.
3. MSC sends ‘Handover Request’ message to the target BSC.
4. Target BSC sends ‘Handover Acknowledge’ to the MSC.
5. MSC sends ‘Handover Command’ to MS through the serving BSC.
6. Handovers between MS and the target BSC.
7. MS sends ‘Handover Complete’ message to the new BSC.

8. MSC sends ‘Channel Release’ command to the old BSC.

9. Old BSC replies ‘Channel Release Acknowledge’ message to MSC.
Intra-BSC Handover
1. Serving BSC takes the Handover decision based on the
measurement reports from the MS.
2. Serving BSC sends ‘Channel Activation’ message to target BTS if
handover is decided.
3. Target BTS replies ‘Channel Activation Acknowledge’ to the serving
BSC.
4. BSC sends ‘Handover Command’ message to the MS through
serving BTS.
5. Handovers between MS and the target BTS.
6. MS sends ‘Handover Complete’ message to the serving BSC on the
new channel.
7. New BTS sends ‘Channel Release’ command to the old BTS.
8. Old BTS replies ‘Channel Release Acknowledge’ message to new
BTS.
