Introduction •

The various measurement were used to identify the capacity issues and their negative impact on accessibility (CSSR) of the various RABs:

1. CS speech (AMR) 2. PS data (R99) 3. HSPA data

Capacity Areas in UTRAN • Essential to monitor the available resources in UTRAN – Capacity from initial dimensioning phase may no be sufficient in some cases – Marketing campaigns lead to higher resource utilization

• Capacity bottlenecks impact the call setup success rates (CSSR) – Mobile user perceives poor setup success rates directly

• With these measurements, network capacity can be monitored in a proactive mode – Capacity upgrades can be triggered taking into account existing lead times HW units, internal procedures like planning or implementation

Call Setup Success Rate - CSSR CSSR for a specific service is calculated the following way: CSSR any service = RRC connection setup & access X RAB setup & access any service

For RAB setup & access phase we can distinguish various failure causes: SETUP PHASE:

ACCESS PHASE:

• due to AC

• due to UE

• due to BTS

• due to RNC

• due to Transport • due to RNC

Failures due to UE

• due to Frozen BTS

• are not related to capacity issues in the network

• due to AAL2 iuB, License, AAL2 IuCS, anchoring, UE For internal use capabilities, not supp. params 7

RAB setup failures 1a. HSDPA accessibility • Indicates problems for access of HS-DSCH (HSDPA access failure rate): 1. Due to UL DCH • Problems of return UL return channel • Related to R99 radio resources 2. Due to TOO MANY HSDPA USERS • Licence limit – 48 users  HSDPA license upgrade to 64 users • R99 is selected, which can cause capacity problem in use of radio resources  Check radio resources for R99 • If licence upgrade is not sufficient, the Dedicated HSDPA scheduler is an option 3. Due to BTS (channel elements) 4. Due to Iub (transmission) 5. Due to RNC

Additional tasks • Even if all the capacity issues would be resolved, the 100% accessibility can not be expected • RF optimization (e.g. overshooting cells) – Propagation delay measurements – CQI measurements – RSCP, Ec/Io measurements

• Mobility optimization – Soft handover – Inter-system handover

• Failures due to UEs can not be avoid

ATM Interface Measurement • ATM interface utilization and traffic per service category CBR, UBR and UBR+

• The ATM interface level measurement is relevant if you have unshaped VPCs with UBR+ VCCs inside and the sum of VCC PCRs exceeds the interface capacity – Otherwise the ATM CAC and/or VCC/VPC configuration will prevent overload possibility

• Potentially useful for Iu if IuPS and IuCS are on their own NIS cards.

RNC AAL2 Connection Admission Control • Bandwidth requirement is affected by – ALC parameters, ALC set (for DCCH), Activity factors – Delay requirement, loss tolerance

ATM VCC PCR

New connection up to this capacity would fit in AAL2 reservation for existing connections

New connection requiring this much capacity would be blocked

– Done for common channels, SRB, RT DCH, NRT DCH, Streaming HSDPA and SharedHSDPAAllocation – VCC bundle is a special case For internal use 24 © Nokia Siemens Networks
