What is IU Paging Success Ratio?

IU Paging Success Ratio defied for Huawei system.

This KPI can be used to evaluate the successful paging responses to the pagings from the Core Network (CN) in one RNC.

The Attempt Paging Procedure starts when the CN sends a PAGING message to the RNC, and finishes when the UE in idle mode receives the PAGING TYPE 1 message from the RNC.

The Successful Paging Procedure finishes when the RNC receives an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST from the UE in idle mode.

 

IU Paging Success Ratio =
(VS.RANAP.Paging.Succ.IdleUE/ VS.RANAP.Paging.Att.IdleUE)*100%

 

What are the possible causes for an Access Failure in UMTS?

• Missing Neighbors
• Poor Coverage
• Pilot Pollution / Spillover
• Poor Cell Reselection
• Core Network Issues
• Non – availability of resources. Admission Control denies
• Hardware Issues
• Improper RACH Parameters
• External Interference

What can we try to improve when access failure is high?

When access failure is high we can try the following to improve RACH performance:

• Increase maximum UE transmit power allowed: Max_allowed_UL_TX_Power.
• Increase power quickly: power_Offset_P0.
• Increase number of preambles sent in a given preamble cycle: preamble_Retrans_Max.
• Increase the number of preamble cycles: max_Preamble_Cycle.
• Increase number of RRC Connection Request retries: N300.

Know What are the Possible Reasons for Access Failure in UMTS?

What are the possible causes for a Drop Call on a UMTS network?

There are several reasons for RAB Drop in WCDMA network.

·         Poor Coverage (DL / UL)

·         Pilot Pollution / Pilot Spillover

·         Missing Neighbor

·         SC Collisions

·         Delayed Handovers

·         No resource availability (Congestion) for Hand in

·         Loss of Synchronization

·         Fast Fading

·         Delayed IRAT Triggers

·         Hardware Issues

·         External Interference

What are the possible causes for a lower PSR?

There are several different reason for low Paging Success Ratio

- Non-continuous RF Coverage – UE going in and out of coverage area frequently
- Very High ‘Periodic Location Update Timer’ – Keeping UEs in VLR long time after it moved out of coverage
- Lower Paging Channel Power
- Access Channel Parameter Issues
- Delayed Location Update when crossing the LA / CN Boundaries

What is Paging Success Ratio? What is the typical PSR that you have seen in a WCDMA UMTS network?

Paging Success Ratio:

Its Paging Responces to the Paging Attempts in WCDMA UMTS network.

Typical Value for Good WCDMA Cellular Network is greater than 90%. 

What are the typical KPIs you use to measure a network and what criteria?

• Access failure rate (≤ 2%).
• Call setup time (CS: over 95% of the time < 6-second for mobile-to
• PSTN, 9-second for mobile-mobile.  PS: over 95% of the time < 5 second).
• Dropped call rate (≤ 2%).
• BLER: over 95% of the blocks ≤ 2%.
• Average DL/UL throughput for PSD: 210kbps for loaded, 240kbps for unloaded.
