Counters

To measure the performance of the Data Acceleration algorithm, new counters on RLC
SDU level are introduced before and after the decompression. The new counters are
intended to measure the traffic volume as well as the throughput.

Eight PM counters are introduced to provide observability of the throughput improvement

that is obtained with the Data Acceleration feature.

Table 2 lists the counters introduced by the Data Acceleration feature.

Description
The sum of all sample values recorded during a ROP for
uplink user RLC throughput measurements (RLC traffic
volume / sampling time) for the PS Interactive RAB mapped
on an RB containing E-DCH/HS-DSCH. This is incremented
in the best cell in the Active Set and stepped for all EUL
users with data Acceleration activated. The user RLC
throughput includes user data counted on RLC SDU level
before uplink data decompression is performed, that is,
retransmissions, padding bits, data PDU headers, and RLC
control PDUs are excluded..
The number of samples recorded within the ROP for
pmSumEulRlcUserPktThpDacc.
The sum of all sample values recorded during a ROP for
uplink user RLC throughput for PS Interactive RAB mapped
on an RB containing DCH in uplink (RLC traffic volume /
sampling time). This is incremented in the best cell in the
Active Set and stepped for all R99 DCH users with Data
Acceleration activated. The user RLC throughput includes
user data counted on RLC SDU level before uplink data
decompression is performed, that is, retransmissions,
padding bits, data PDU headers, and RLC control PDUs are
excluded.
