1 Changes in the RAN KPI Reference
This chapter describes the changes made in the RAN KPI Reference.
2 Accessibility
Accessibility is the ability of a user to obtain the requested service from the system. RRC connection and RAB setup are the main procedures of accessibility.
3 Availability
Availability KPIs mainly indicate the utilization for several kinds of network resources such as Radio, bandwidth or CPU Load.
4 Coverage
Coverage KPIs are used for monitoring cell Interference status and Soft Handover Gain in an RNC or a cluster.
5 Mobility
Mobility KPIs are used to monitor the successful ratio for several kinds of handover features or service mode changing in difference scenarios.
6 Retainability
Retainability is defined as the ability of a user to retain its requested service for the required duration once connected. The RNC level KPIs can be calculated by aggregating all the cell counters and Iur counters.
7 Service Integrity
Service Integrity KPIs mainly indicate the service capabilities for PS/HSPA throughput during busy hours in each cell and the service UL Average BLER for evaluating the UL BLER value of services in each cell.
8 Traffic
Traffic-related KPIs are used to check the circulated traffic such as CS Equivalent Erlang, PS Traffic, and Mean UE number for various kinds of services in an RNC or a Cluster.

Compared with Issue RAN15.0 01 (2013-05-04), this issue incorporates the following changes:
Content Description
6.10 PS Call Drop Ratio (PCH) Modified the formula by adding counters
VS.DCCC.Succ.F2U and VS.DCCC.Succ.D2U to the denominator. The modified formula is more accurate according to the KPI description.
6.11 PS Call Drop Ratio (PCH & Combined Service)
Modified the formula by adding counters

Unit/Range %
Note RNC-level KPIs are obtained by accumulating values of cell-level counters. If inter-RAT DRD is enabled during RAB setup, an AMR RAB setup is measured as an AMR RAB setup failure regardless of whether the DRD succeeds. As a result, the value of this KPI is smaller than actual value. Therefore, it is recommended that you add VS.IRATHO.SuccOutCS.DR to the numerator of the formula for calculating this KPI if inter-RAT DRD is enabled during RAB setup.

3.20 R99 Code Utilization
Table 3-20 R99 Code UtilizationName R99 Code Utilization
Formula
Description The occupied codes are the codes occupied by R99 user. The code number is normalized to SF = 256, that is, converted to the code number when SF = 256. The counters given below provide the number of single-RAB and Multi-RAB UEs that occupy the DL R99 codes with Spreading Factor (SF) of
4/8/16/32/64/128/256. Associated Counters R99 Code Utilization = [(VS.SingleRAB.SF4+VS.MultRAB.SF4) x 64+ (VS.SingleRAB.SF8+VS.MultRAB.SF8) x 32+ (VS.SingleRAB.SF16+VS.MultRAB.SF16) x 16+ (VS.SingleRAB.SF32+VS.MultRAB.SF32) x 8+ (VS.SingleRAB.SF64+VS.MultRAB.SF64) x 4+ (VS.SingleRAB.SF128+VS.MultRAB.SF128) x 2 + (VS.SingleRAB.SF256+VS.MultRAB.SF256)]/256 x 100% Object CELL Unit/Range %
Note The occupied codes are normalized to SF = 256.
Total Code utilization for a cell can be calculated approximately by using the following formula:
VS.RAB.SFOccupy /256
The value would be greater than the real usage as the code for HSDPA was reserved initially.
