 Classification of KPI Measurement
 The quality of network performance is mainly evaluated
by KPI (Key Performance Index)

Drive Test KPI/ Stationary Test: Some KPIs should be
attained by drive test, such as coverage KPI and latency
KPI, measurement results are coming from driver test tools

Performance Measurement KPI: Most of KPIs are
attained by this approach, such as RRC success Rate, HHO
success rate,eg, these KPIs are coming from eNodeB
performance statistic.

 Related Counter - DL Traffic
Volume
 Description:

The counters measure the total traffic volume of
transmitted PDCP SDUs for each service with a specific
QCI ranging from 1 to 9 in a cell.
 Measurement Point

The size of the payloads in the transmitted PDCP SDUs of
each service with a specific QCI is sampled in a cell. At the
end of a measurement period, the sum of these sampling
results is used as the value of the corresponding counter.

 Related Counter – DL Transmission
Time
 Description:

The counters measure the transmit duration of downlink PDCP
SDUs for services with a specific QCI ranging from 1 to 9 in a cell.
 Measurement Point

The transmit duration of downlink PDCP SDUs for each service
with a specific QCI ranging from 1 to 9 in a cell is sampled per
millisecond. If there is downlink data transmission within this
millisecond, the sampling result of the corresponding counter is
1. At the end of a measurement period, the sum of these
sampling results is used as the value of the corresponding
counter.
