What is cell-specific, what is not


The Complexity of the performance data increase with the number of cells in the network, if it is not properly summarized Almost all data has to be analysed at WCELL or WBTS level for the worst cells -> Evaluation over time and Comparison between large areas (Cities, RNCs) is still required Cell Availability Monitor Cell/Neighbour cells - missing cell has impact Failures due to Radio, to BTS, to transport Availability to neighbouring cells performance also Handover Performance Traffic Cell Resources Iub Signalling Some data is better analysed at RNC level->Here only the time evolution and RNC comparison is useful Failures due the RNC, Iu, Iur Iur, Iu, Relocation Signalling

Prioritizing cell with the highest number of failures


Either total number of failures or failure rate (%) could be used

Coverage hole, missing neighbour or capacity problem


It may be required with some periodicity (e.g. one month) to reach a more uniform performance, in addition with the top number of failures

Larger time periods are preferable, together with a filter an minimum

Daily, Weekly or Busy Hour ?


Voice, R99NRT and HSDPA peak traffic can happen at different times Blocking is not necessarily happening during the BH NetAct Busy Hour definition is that the RT and NRT is summed every hour and the hour with maximum value is taken for BH
MAX (CS_VOICE_CALL_DL + CS_DATA_CALL_CONV_DL + CS_DATA_CALL_STREAM_DL + PS_DATA_CALL_CONV_DL + PS_DATA_STREAM_DL + PS_DATA_CALL_INTERA_DL + PS_DATA_CALL_BACKG_DL)

Where xxx_DL= SUMi ( Bit_Ratei * Allocation_Durationi)


In Loaded networks the Weekly Busy Hour CSSR is relevant The failures originate mostly from congestions (Iub, BTS HW (CEs), radio) The call blocking probability is designed for the BH In Unloaded networks the Weekly Busy Hour CSSR may not yield the hour with highest blocking as NRT traffic is taken in the account as well as RT traffic In cell level it is needed to compute BH statistic based on absolute time period (e.g. 16-18h every day) Daily data may not be accurate enough due to big variations of results (due to ongoing operatios, system failures, sleeping cells, alarms etc.)

Soc Classification level 23 Nokia Siemens Networks Presentation / Author / Date

RRC SETUP fails if some of the needed resources (RNC, BTS, AIR, Transport) are not available. When an RRC setup failure occurs the RNC sends an RRC: RRC CONNECTION REJECT message to UE RRC ACCESS fails if the UE does not reply to RRC: RRC CONNECTION SETUP message with the RRC: RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE message in given time, if the BTS reports a radio link synchronisation failure or in an RNC internal failure occurs

RRC ACTIVE fails when an interface related (Iu, Iur , Iub, or Radio) or RNC internal failure occurs, and the failure causes the release of the RRC Connection. When an RRC active failure occurs, the RRC send a RANAP: IU RELEASE REQUEST to all involved CNs and waits for RANAP: IU RELEASE COMMAND message (s)

RRC ACTIVE release cause can be either ISHO, IFHO, SRSN relocation or pre-emption

When an RAB setup failure occurs the RNC sends a RANAP: RAB ASSINGMENT RESPONSE message to the CN with an appropriate failure cause RAB ACCESS fails if the UE replies with an RRC: RADIO BEARER SETUP FAILURE message or the connection cannot be established in a give time. When a RAB access failure occurs, the RNC sends a RANAP: RAB ASSINGMENT RESPONSE message to the CN with an appropriate failure cause. Immediately after this, the RNC sends also a RANAP: IU RELEASE REQUEST to the CN and waits for RANAP: IU RELEASE COMMAND message

RAB ACTIVE fails when an interface related (Iu, Iur, Iub, or Radio) or RNC internal failure occurs, and the failure causes the release of the RAB connection. If the UE has more than one RAB connection and the failure is not so critical that it would lease to an RRC Connection drop, only the failed RAB connection is released. The RNC sends a RANAP: RAB RELEASE REQUEST message to the CN and waits for a RANAP: RAB RELEASE COMMAND or RANAP: IU RELASE COMMAND from CN Otherwise, both the RRC connection and RAB connection (s) are released. The RNC send a RANAP: IU RELASE REQUEST message to the CN and waits for a RANAP: IU RELEASE COMMAND MESSAGE from the CN

PM Data analysis process


1. Assess weekly average PLMN KPI performance to identify KPIs below targets

Start from bigger picture assessment (PLNM -> RNC -> Cluster -> WCEL ) Weekly average will smooth the performance and gives better accuracy of performance assessment as daily performance varies a lot especially in unloaded network

2. Assess network performance at RNC/Area level to check if bad performance happens across network or only particular RNC/Area Compare different RNC/Regions performance 3. Apply drill down approach to assess bad performing KPIs in WCEL level Identify the failure call phases Categorizing failure ratio or distribution of each counters (radio, AC, transmission, BTS,
4. Prioritize analysis Filter using high number of failures or high number failure ratio (weighting) Identify top 50 worst cells 5. Analyze failure distribution in the network topology (rural, RNC border, expressway) 6. Propose Solution for cells having network KPIs below KPI targets
RNC) Identify main cause of underperforming KPIs

6. REJ_HS_DSCH_RET and PS_REL_OTH_FAIL_HS_D In RAS06 UL AC could be based on both throughput and power based PS call algorithm depending on the parameter settings. PrxLoadMarginMaxDCH parameter defines interference margin for the maximum UL DCH load. Using default value of 2dB (37% load) can cause HSDPA UL return channel rejections due AC to increase. It is recommended to remove impact of this parameter by setting it to value 0 dB (throughput based AC algorithm not in use). This parameter is valid for all R99 PS bearers, not only for HSDPA UL return channel.

Maximum Measurement Interval


These parameters control the maximum compressed mode duration time for each GSM RSSI and BSIC decoding measurement process. The duration of this interval in seconds is given by:
(12 s) (20) (0.5 s)

max_meas_interval (s) = GsmMaxMeasPeriod x GsmMeasRepInterval + 4 x GsmMeasRepInterval In case of no suitable target cell found (for any reason), CM measurements - both RxLev and BSIC verification - are stopped by RNC if:
RNC does receive GsmMaxMeasPeriod ISHO Measurement Reports (meas id = 3) before the above max_meas_interval time window expires the above max_meas_interval time window expires before receiving GsmMaxMeasPeriod ISHO Measurement Reports (meas id = 3). The ISHO procedure is considered to be unsuccessful and a new one can be activated after GsmMinMeasInterval (2s) provided that meanwhile RNC has not receive a cancellation event. Note that in case the time window expires ISHO counters are not updated at all

Physical Channel Reconfiguration Fail


Physical Channel Reconfiguration fail vs. Establishment Cause Mapping to counter RRC/RAB_ACT_FAIL_UE

Looking at some logs the failure is due to difficult BSIC verification during ISHO procedure and since the failure happens after the Handover from UTRAN commands all relative ISHO counters are incremented In the same area there are some Handover from UTRAN failure messages sent back from the UE with the cause physical channel failure this means that UE had some problems to establish connection with the GSM cell (aggressive GSM frequency reuse) Optimisation of ADJG in the area and if possible 2G frequency plan
