Thresholds :
When Delayed DL TBF release is not activated and CS2 is not used at the beginning of TBF : UL/DL TBF normal release rate is seen as good above 98 % When Delayed DL TBF release is activated or CS2 is used at beginning of TBF (without optimisation of the coding scheme adaptation) : Threshold of DL TBF normal release rate should be lower.

Different data applications are multiplexed over the GPRS radio layers : FTP, WEB/HTTP, WAP, MMS, Data applications have very different traffic characteristics (amount of data, duration between LLC PDU) leading to different ways of triggering of the radio layers algorithms This has a direct impact on the follow-up of some OMC-R QoS indicators :

Several upper layers parameters and algorithms have a great impact on the end user QoS :

Contrary to the CS service, the follow-up of radio layers QoS indicators (from drive tests or OMC-R) is not sufficient to have a complete status of the end user QoS Good QoS at radio layers level does not necessarily mean good end user QoS.
>
>
Inversely, trying to improve QoS at end user side can have side effect on QoS at radio layers.
Starting TBF in CS2 allows better throughput during FTP transfer but QoS at radio layers shows that it can degrade the DL TBF establishment success rate. Enabling delayed downlink TBF release allows better response time from mobiles but it leads to more risks to drop DL TBF.

Despite the OMC-R QoS follow-up is not sufficient to have a complete status of the end user QoS, following domains must be followed :
radio resources availability and sharing
To ensure that enough PDCH are available for GPRS and that there is no impact on the GSM To ensure that GPRS radio layers are working properly
DL/UL TBF establishment success rate DL/UL TBF normal and acceptable release rate DL/UL RLC re-transmission rate CS2/(CS1 +CS2) ratio
MND/MRA/PCS, 71

>
Radio resources availability and sharing :
TCH blocking rate CCCH load, CCCH load due to GPRS

TBF establishment failures due to radio congestion TBF establishment : TS distribution % of time DL/UL TBF are granted the max nb of PDCH they support and the corresponding MS are engaged in DL/UL biased transfers PDCH usage Smooth PDCH adaptation to cell load variation : MAX_PDCH_DYN variable MPDCH usage if Master channel activated
