Overview
With the expansion of the GSM network, the focus of routine maintenance is changing. It becomes increasingly difficult to identify problems through drive tests (DTs), call quality tests (CQTs), and user complaints. How to monitor the running of a network, evaluate the quality of the network, and handle the problems on the network? This guide describes the objectives of key performance indicators (KPIs), the method for determining whether the quality of a network should be improved according to the KPIs, and the method for locating a fault when a KPI is abnormal. This document also guides the readers to determine the basic conditions and choose the required KPI Optimization Manual according to the actual problems. To ensure that the monitoring can be implemented properly, this document focuses on the analysis of the monitoring and optimization of the exported KPIs. The KPIs in the DT and CQT are not included. Chapter 1 describes the purpose and content of the document. Chapter 2 describes the KPIs for monitoring the network performance and the definitions. Chapter 3 describes the strategy for monitoring and optimizing KPIs. Chapter 4 describes the KPI monitoring and optimization flow. Chapter 5 describes the classification of KPIs for optimization and the relevant guides. Chapter 6 describes the implementation of the KPI monitoring strategy through the NASTAR. Chapter 7 provides the summary.

Success Rate of Call Setup (Immediate Assignment) = (Call Setup Indications (CS Service) 100%)/Immediate Assignment Requests
Call Drop Rate on SDCCH = (Call Drops on SDCCH 100%)/Successful SDCCH Seizures
TCH Call Drop Rate(including Handovers) = (Traffic Channel per BSC 100%)/(Successful TCH Seizures (Signaling Channel) + Successful TCH Seizures (Traffic Channel) + Successful TCH Seizures in TCH handovers (Traffic Channel)) Handover Success Ratio per BSC = (Successful Incoming Internal Inter-Cell Handovers + Successful Outgoing External Inter-Cell Handovers)/(Incoming Internal Inter-Cell Handover Requests + Outgoing External Inter-Cell Handover Requests)
None Paging Success Rate = ((Number of Responses Upon First Paging + Number of Responses Upon Second Paging) 100%)/Number of First Pagings. The statistics of this measurement are collected on the MSC.
TCH Call Drop Rate (including Handovers) helps analyze the NEs of each level (BSC and cell). Hence, it is recommended in this guide. If the standard is different from the field standard, the field KPI definition needs to be observed. The paging success rate is a concerned item. Monitor this item if it can be retrieved.

The monitoring of the GPRS\EGPRS services is subject to the actual condition, that is, whether certain services are activated.
The required KPIs must be monitored regardless of whether they are mentioned in the preceding table or not. If a KPI is defined in the field, use the field KPI formula. If no KPI is defined or put forward for evaluation in the field, use the default definition of Huawei equipment. If no default definition is available, see the suggested formula. If the KPIs listed in the contract contain the suggested KPIs, or the performance indexes are the same, use the KPIs listed in the contract.
The sub-performance is used to assist analysis after you find abnormal KPIs. It does not serve as the standard for evaluation or monitoring.
Call Drops on Radio Interface in Stable State (Traffic Channel) Call Drops on Radio Interface in Handover State (Traffic Channel) Call Drops due to No MRs from MS for a Long Time (Traffic Channel) Call Drops due to Abis Terrestrial Link Failure (Traffic Channel) Call Drops due to Equipment Failure (Traffic Channel) Call Drops due to Forced Handover (Traffic Channel) Call Drops Due to Loopback Start Failure Call Drops Due to Handover Failure During the Loopback Call Drops Due to Failures to Return to Normal Call from Loopback
The common call drops are classified into call drops on the radio interface in stable state and call drops on the radio interface in handover state. During analysis, more detailed call drop types are available, for example, error indication of call drops on the radio interface in stable state, connection failure, and release indication. During analysis of a specific problem, determine the call drop classification first, and then query the optimization guide to quickly locate the problem. Learning the general reasons of call drops before analyzing the TCH drop rate helps quickly locate a problem.

Yellow line: Close to the evaluation standard, but it is not sure whether the performance will be degraded to the pre-warning value. When the KPI is degraded to the yellow line, the monitor engineer starts to shorten the monitoring period of the KPI. At the same time, the engineer reports the performance pre-warning to the RNP team. Check the performances that affect the KPI. If the degradation is caused by a cause or certain cells, handle the cells or the cause. If the value is close to the red line, handle the problem in advance. Otherwise, keep the pre-warning according to the network conditions. When the cell KPI is degraded to the yellow line, put the cell into the options of TopN cells. For details, see section 4.4 "Selection of TopN Bad Cells". If the value is close to the red line, or the number of yellow-line cells is small, refer to the method for handling the red line. If the cell is a VIP cell or is in the TopN cells of the KPI, you should also handle the cell as a red-line cell, that is, to optimize the performance in time. If a KPI is better than the yellow-line value in the entire network, you need to handle only the TopN cells in red line.

The retransmission rate of GPRS/EDGE data block is heavily affected by the radio environment and the transmission quality, the KPI for retransmission rate is fluctuating and the evaluation requirement varies. The monitoring engineer should adjust the standard of the red line according to the radio environment of the country. If the radio environment and the transmission environment are good, refer to the ordinary network standard of China: The retransmission rate of GPRS/EDGE RLC uplink data block < 5% and the retransmission rate of RLC GPRS/EDGE downlink data block < 8%.

To ensure the accuracy of KPI, 24-hour statistics are recommended in all cases. Comparison of the seven records of the statistical data of seven days improves the accuracy of the KPI analysis. When you export the performance data by using the M2000, you can choose to export the records with the granularity of an hour (24 hours of seven days) by cells. You can calculate the performance of the entire network or any period (greater than an hour) by using the EXCEL.

problem cannot be processed because resources are limited), start the network-level KPI optimization. If the KPI is worse than the yellow line, you should determine whether the KPI is close to or decreasing to the red line, whether the problem is caused by a type of problem or caused by problems of certain NEs. If the KPI is tending to the red line or it may be degraded, refer to the method of processing the KPI worse than the baseline value. If a certain problem affects the entire network, optimize KPIs that cause the problem. If certain NEs are affected, analyze the distribution of the NEs, optimize the cluster-level KPIs or the TopN cells. If a special problem is detected, monitor only this KPI.

ranking behind 20% of the weight items or ranking behind 50, if no resources are available, do not process these cells. In the process of cell analysis, if the number of yellow-line cells is less than 10, put them into the TopN cells. The processing method is as follows: For example, when you select the TopN bad cells based on the TCH drop rate, determine whether the bad cells should be processed with priority according to the ratio of call drops to call drops on the entire network. If the rank by the call drop rate is in TopN, but the number of call drops is one, do not process the cell.

According to the principle of from the entire cell and major KPIs to the secondary KPIs, when you perform the entire analysis of the KPIs, the analysis order of the CS domain based on the impact of different KPI is as follows: availability, congestion rate (utilization), call drop rate (retainability), handover success rate (mobility), and accessibility. As an independent item, the paging success rate should be monitored independently or should not be monitored. The analysis order of the PS domain is as follows: access performance, TBF drop rate, retransmission rate of TBF. For each analysis, the order is monitoring KPI first and the related KPI second. Finally, correlate the analysis with the optimization operation guide.

Process the problems in time in the equipment maintenance side. The KPI monitoring analysis is meaningless and can be stopped. Check the software problems in the equipment side, and then retrieve the data to analyze the KPI monitoring. Process the problems in time. Analyze only the irrelevant NE KPIs. After determining that no import problems are encountered in the equipment side, analyze the KPI monitoring and skip the faulty period. Determine the network problem from the equipment side.

the SDCCH congestion rate does not reach the standard in the entire network, and the measurement will not be degraded to the yellow line. When the SDCCH congestion rate is lower than the yellow line, determine whether the problem is common or the problem is caused by certain cells. When the problem is common, it is caused by the traffic burst. In certain cases, the problem is caused by the network-wide interference, the fault beyond the BSC, or the software bug. If the problem is caused by network-wide interference or fault beyond the BSC, many severe problems may occur in the entire network. The symptoms are indicated before the periodical KPI monitoring analysis (such as complaints and critical alarms). To determine whether the traffic burst exists, you should generate the trend chart of the traffic volume. Use the trend chart of 24 hours of 7 days and every hour of each day to find the period of traffic burst. Then determine the cause of the traffic burst. For the congestion caused by traffic burst, you can enable the "SDCCH dynamic allocation" and "Immediate allocate to the TCH" functions in the BSS side. If the problem persists, the carrier should balance the traffic burst. If the traffic burst cannot be removed, allocate the service traffic to a long period. For example, to transmit all greeting short messages in a certain region (such as a city) in five minutes, you can increase the transmission time to one hour or longer. For the requirements of group-sending short messages in a province, the SMS side cannot deliver the messages consecutively by the flag bit of the area code. For the domestic numbers, sort them by the last 4 digits or 3 digits. Extend the service of each region (LAC) to the entire period instead of a shorter period. If the problem is caused by certain cells, make a comparison according to the cell-level KPI bottom line to choose the TopN cells with high SDCCH congestion rate. In the case of the number of the TopN cells, see section 4.4 "Selection of TopN Bad Cells." First, check whether the cells with high SDCCH congestion rate are caused by the load. If the congestion is in a short period, enable the SDCCH dynamic allocation function. If the congestion due to load occurs in many periods in a day, increase the SDCCHs. Enabling the immediate assignment TCH function can release the SDCCH congestion to some extent. But the enabling of the function may cause the waste of channels, and the evaluation KPIs defined by carriers may be affected. This function is not recommended unless required. After you obtain the causes of the high SDCCH congestion rate, process the problem by referring to the GSM BSS Network KPI (SDCCH Congestion Rate) Optimization Manual. If the SDCCH congestion rate of the entire network reaches the standard, you can process only the cells worse than the red line in the TopN cells.

The TCH congestion rate can be classified into cell congestion rate, but considering the implementation period of the capacity expansion, when the TCH congestion rate of the entire network reaches the yellow line, you can suggest the network capacity expansion in the stage of overall analysis. If the entire network cannot be expanded because the frequency resources are limited, put forward the scheme of dual-band network and concentric cells.
If the TCH congestion rate of the entire network reaches the yellow line, except the load, the problem is caused by the external interference of the entire network, bugs or faults of the NEs beyond BSC. When the special cases occur, many obvious symptoms may occur in the entire network. In this case, refer to the GSM Interference Analysis Guide (http://support.huawei.com/Knowledge Center/Radio/Radio Performance and Network Planning and Optimization). The GBSS engineers can also process the fault through the workflow for major faults.

outgoing handover, if the handover problem is on the BSC edge, the dual-band handover can be located in the corresponding area). At the same time, you can choose the TopN cells according to the KPIs (such as the handover success rate), and then determine the direction to analyze the problem according to the single handover type of the cell. If the problem of handover success rate is common, first analyze the impact of the single handover type of the entire network. For example, the inter-BSC outgoing handover difference causes that the network-wide KPI is lower than the bottom line, and the handover success rate of the dual-band network is bad. If the problem is not of a certain type of handover, you should consider whether the planning of the adjacent area is reasonable and whether the setting of the handover timer is reasonable. For the analysis on the handover success rate of a single cell and how to process the problem, refer to the GSM BSS Network KPI (Handover Success Rate) Optimization Manual.

Summary
Thanks go to colleagues of each department for their support in the development of GSM KPI Monitoring and Optimization Guide. It is the first KPI monitoring guide of the radio product. The document intends to focus on the practical operation, but the theory still weights a lot owing to limited foundation. Especially for the output of the monitoring report, the report specification is not available because the plan is not implemented. The monitoring method is not implemented onsite for long term. Hence, no complete KPI analysis case is provided in this document. After the guide is put into practice in the field, we plan to choose the KPI monitoring and optimization cases based on M2000 and NASTAR (new version of 2009). Each case should be chosen from the monitored KPI. The case describes the making of monitoring standard, the detection of KPI problems, and the processing method. The segments of the monitoring report about the KPI monitoring problems are added, which guides readers to master the method of monitoring KPIs and processing the problems. As a result, comprehensive monitoring and optimization report can be generated timely. The improvement of the guide relies on the practice onsite. If you have any suggestions or operation cases, please send your feedback to us. Your experience is of great importance and is helpful for other users.
