Planning/Benchmark KPI set for S10.5 & S11
In order to standardize the use of GPRS/EDGE BSS counters in Nokia networks, two KPIsets have been defined by BSS PMWG:
• Planning KPI set
• Should be used by the network planning/performance department to optimize the BSS part ofthe network
• Currently contains 53 KPIs
• Network Doctor report 290 (ND for OSS4)
• Benchmark KPI set
• Should be used to compare networks
• Currently contains 18 KPIs (subset of planning KPI set)
• Published as part of system documentation
• Network Doctor report 802 (ND for OSS4)
• Updated KPI lists available via Jump:http://nea.ntc.nokia.com/dld.php/?BSS_Benchmark_KPIs_BSSPMWG.xls
http://nea.ntc.nokia.com/dld.php/?BSS_Planning_KPIs_for_PS_BSSPMWG.xls

How to measure throughput with Nokia BSS counters
• Throughput based on RLC block counters and TBF duration
• Throughput based on RLC block counters• Throughput based on MS flowrate
• Volume-weighted LLC throughput

Formulas based on RLC blocks and TBF durationE.g. trf_72b:
(RLC_data_blocks_UL_CS1*20 + RLC_data_blocks_UL_CS2*30)* 8/1000
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ave_dur_UL_TBF_sum/100
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
alloc_1_TSL_UL + 2*alloc_2_TSL_UL + 3*alloc_3_TSL_UL + 4*alloc_4_TSL_UL)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
alloc_1_TSL_UL + alloc_2_TSL_UL + alloc_3_TSL_UL + alloc_4_TSL_UL
• ave_dur_UL_TBF_sum does not include abnormally released TBFs=> Makes the formula show too high values (even 100s of kbps)
• ave_dur_UL_TBF_sum includes the TBF release delay where no data is transmitted
=> Makes the formula show too low values
• Original plans to modify ave_dur_xx_TBF counters in S11.5 have been discarded
• ave_dur_UL_TBF_sum contains both GPRS and EDGE TBFs
=> Formula just for GPRS-only networks• Denominator is updated at TBF establishments and reallocation. Duration is not taken into account

Throughput based on RLC blocks (I)
E.g. trf_72d (GPRS UL effective throughput pr timeslot):
(RLC_data_blocks_UL_CS1*20 + RLC_data_blocks_UL_CS2*30)*8 /1000
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(rlc_data_blocks_ul_cs1 + rlc_data_blocks_ul_cs2 + rlc_mac_cntrl_blocks_ul + BAD_FRAME_IND_UL_CS1 +BAD_FRAME_IND_UL_CS2
+ BAD_FRAME_IND_UL_UNACK + IGNOR_RLC_DATA_BL_UL_DUE_BSN) /50
• RLC/MAC control blocks from downloading applications produce low UL values• Ignored blocks happen at the end of a TBF. Not noticed by user, but pulls the
formula values down
• Since “Bad frames” counters are used, e.g. many cell reselections will make thisformula give low values
• Typical values in GPRS networks:
• UL: 2 - 4 kbps
• DL: 11 – 12 kbps

Throughput based on RLC blocks (I)
(UL: tr f_72d & DL: tr f_73d)
• The ratio between data blocks and control blocks important for the value of the
formulas• Short TBFs will have relatively more control blocks than long TBFs
• Upper-layer data transfer will typically generate long TBFs in one direction and
many RLC acknowledgements in the opposite direction
• E.g. for MMS:
10 MMS sent from cell A to cell B (in perfect radio conditions)
MO BTS MT BTS
UL CS2 12946 508
UL Ignored 727 1379
UL Ctrl 528 1231
DL CS2 332 10493
DL Ctrl 972 653
UL throughput (trf_72d) 10.8 2.0
DL throughput (trf_73d) 3.1 11.3

Throughput based on RLC blocks (II)
• Replace bad frames with retransmissions
• Remove effect from applications (remove ignored and control blocks)=> trf_233b
(rlc_data_blocks_ul_cs1 - rlc_data_blocks_ul_unack)*20 + rlc_data_blocks_ul_cs2*30)*8 /1000
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
rlc_data_blocks_ul_cs1 - r lc_data_blocks_ul_unack + rlc_data_blocks_ul_cs2 + retra_data_blocks_ul_cs1 + retra_data_blocks_ul_cs2) /50
• Cell reselection and congestion not included
• KPI useful for determining the quality of the link (radio + abis)

HTTP download with EDGE
• Large file (890 KB, multiple objects) simulates web browsing• Small file (1 KB, text only) simulates WAP browsing
• NTN, N6220, good UL quality
• End-user experience largely independent of link quality
• RLC throughput gives good view of link quality
• Small files (= short TBFs) doesn’t give much time for linkadaptation to adjust (MCA = 7)
• Remember that also EDAP & GPRS/EDGE multiplexing willdowngrade coding scheme

Conclusion on RLC throughput formulas
• Not end-user experience
• Application independent• GPRS formulas suitable for determining link quality (radio & abis)
• EDGE formulas suitable for determining link quality (radio & abis) if:
• MCA same value in whole network
• TBF length (ie application mix) similar for all cells
• No EDAP capacity problems (actually also valid for GPRS!)
• No multiplexing with GPRS handsets

BSSGP flow rate
MS specific flowrate (trf_125, ND report 270):
8/1000 * ave_ms_bssgp_flow_rate_sum
---------------------------------------------------
ave_ms_bssgp_flow_rate_den
• Is calculated for each QoS class (Best Effort, Silver, Gold)
• Only available for downlink
• Does not take timeslot allocation and technology (GPRS/EDGE) into account
• Counts only when there is a TBF => Does not take the effect of hard
blocking/preemption & cell reselections into account• Good correlation with application throughput, but
• Includes the idle periods during the transfer => e.g. WAP browsing produces smallvalues => Typical values from live networks are low (a few kbps) => Operator needsto use QoS classes to get useful values
• Currently a couple of issues with counters:
• UL QoS class not mapped correctly when using GPRS
• QoS class OK when MS used as modem, but not OK when application is on MS (fixedend-October?)

Volume Weighted LLC Throughput - Counter Principle• In S11, two new counters are incremented only for EDGE mobiles having 4 TSL
multislot capability in DL
• Also when MS gets less than 4 TSLs in DL, because of small GPRS territory or concurrentUL&DL allocation
• Specific requirements are needed for Bytes and Duration counters:
• Short TBFs not taken into account
• based on byte and duration threshold (>4 sec. OR >1560 bytes)
• Unit of duration of 10 ms
• Abnormally released TBFs are NOT considered -> Better Accuracy
• Throughput calculation principle
• VW LLC throughput = Sum of (Payloads per traffic burst * Throughput per traffic burst) /Payload
• Traffic burst (burst)= Continuous data transfer from data arrives to PCU buffer till PCUbuffer gets empty
• New counters
• spare72109 = Sum of (Payloads per burst * Throughput per burst) of EDGE 4 TSL MS (Units : 100B* B/10ms)
• spare72110 = Payload of EDGE 4 TSL MS (Unit: 100B)• spare counters are used to minimize impacts in BSC - NetAct interface

Volume weighting - example
Burst A: Payload = 100 Kbyte, duration = 8 seconds => throughput = 100 kbit/s
Burst B: Payload = 10 KByte, duration = 16 seconds => throughput = 5 kbit/s
Average throughput:
Payload / duration = (800 Kbit + 80 Kbit) / (8 seconds + 16 seconds) = 37 kbit/s
Volume Weighted throughput:
((800 Kbit * 100 kbit/s) + (80 Kbit * 5 kbit/s)) / (800 Kbit + 80 Kbit) = 91 kbit/s
Throughput for long TBFs are weighted more than for short TBFs

VW LLC Throughput TC1- FTP DL
Case 1 FTP Download (Good) Case 1 FTP Download (Bad)
• The graphs below show the VW DL LLC throughput for FTP DL performed with
different file sizes and under different radio conditions
• As file size decreases application throughput is reduced due to TCP slow start
effect.
• Volume Weighted LLC Throughput follows the application throughput, but the
impact of TCP slow start is practically eliminated by the VW LLC throughput
counters

Volume Weighted LLC throughput
• Counters can be used to show the potential throughput that a 4 timeslot EDGE
MS would get, if it is downloading big files
• Low KPI values can be caused by many things
• Bad radio link quality
• Not enough timeslot allocation
• Too much timeslot sharing
• Bad transmission link quality• Not enough EDAP capacity
• Etc.
• Note: Cell reselection & hard blocking do not have impact
=> Further analysis needed on bad performing areas

Impact of current counter implementation
• Modified formulas become very complicated – difficult to implement in tools and difficult to
explain to operators
• Even modified formulas only provide estimates
• Probably very drastic impact on KPI values
• Affected formulas in BM and planning KPI set have been modified (but many other
affected formulas not modified)
• Currently it is being discussed to change counter triggering in CD to S11.5

Multislot request/allocation counters
• Before S11, CD6.0 & S11.5, CD2.0, the counters were updated in this way:
• Example: Class 6 MS can be in either 3+1 or 2+2 configuration – but never 3+2
• DL is “preferred” direction - MS gets a 3+1 allocation
• Counters updated as follows:
• REQ_2_TSL_UL
• REQ_3_TSL_DL
• ALLOC_1_TSL_UL
• ALLOC_3_TSL_DL
• In this case, counters show false blocking

TBFs for signaling
• Especially in new networks, a potential large part of the traffic will consist of
signaling traffic (GMM & SM)
• To tune parameters like routing area borders and SGSN security procedures, it is
of interest to operators to know the amount of RLC payload caused by signaling
• With the new counters we can find how many TBFs are used by signaling

Uplink results with the same principle
•Measurement object is BTS + TRX + Coding Scheme
•RX level to RX level class conversion: adjustable RX level boundaries
•Measurement is based on RX level and quality measurements done by MS and BTS
•BEP to RX quality class conversion (fixed mapping) for EGPRS MSs
•NCCR feature must be active, DL RX level information received in Enhmeasurement reports (only) in NC2 mode
•This measurement generates lots of data!
