Accessibility (1) RRC Setup Success Rate


RRC Setup Success Rate (service) The RRC setup procedure is trigged by different reasons as identified by the establishmentCause field in the RRCConnctionRequest message: emergency, highPriorityAccess, mt-Access, mo-Signalling, mo-Data, delayTolerantAccess-v1020. The UE sets the establishmentCause and received by eNodeB. Causes except mo-Signalling are categorized as service related ones, and the cause of mo-Signalling is categorized as signal related ones. This KPI evaluates the RRC setup success rate with service related causes in a cell or cluster.

RRC Setup Success Rate (Signal) This KPI evaluates the RRC setup success rate with signal related causes (mo-Signalling) in a cell or cluster.

Retainability (1) Call Drop Rate


VoIP Call Drop Rate
This KPI can be used to evaluate the call drop rate of VoIP service (QCI 1 service) in a cell or cluster, the call drops happen when eNode initiate active ERAB (with data in buffer) release process by E-RAB Release Indication or UE Context Release Request message with Cause field with abnormal reasons (the cause other than : Normal Release, Detach,User Inactivity, cs fallback triggered, UE Not Available For PS Service,or Inter-RAT redirection), and all of the other E-RAB releases are consider as normal E-RAB release.

Retainability (3) - Call Setup Complete Rate


VoIP Call Setup Complete Rate (VoIP CSTR)
This KPI evaluates the call Setup Complete Rate for VoIP service (QCI 1 service) in a cell or cluster, which means the rate of the VoIP service can be normally terminated once user do the attempt to setup the service. And it can include 4 phases: RRC setup phase, S1 Signaling connection establishment phase, VoIP E-RAB setup phase and VoIP service E-RAB release phase;
