GSM Base Station Subsystem (BSS) KPI analysis

GSM BSS KPI analysis


KPI means for key performance indicator, which is measure from all the related aspect of
network such as call setup success rate (CSSR), Handover success rate (HOSR), Paging,
network access, congestion etc. From KPI report Radio Network Optimizer's took decision
or provide prescription for the network. For KPI analysis usually data is collected from drive
test of Radio Access Network (RAN), error log of network equipment and Base Station
Controller (BSC) data. After combining data we can draw symmetric graph using GSM KPI
tools.
Short lists of GSM KPI tools:
Mapinfo.

TEMS Investigatation.

TEMS Route Analyzer.

Genex Probe.

Genex Assistant.

Google Earth

Google Map

NEMO.

ACTRIX Analyzer.

Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access


There are numerous KPI and optimization tools for GSM network, but above tools are widely
used. From BSC we collect traffic data and system performance data, this data represent
salient status of the network, resource utilization, Hardware load etc. After analyzing this data
we can make decision on network planning, network monitoring and network performance.
BSS KPI Issue:
Paging success rate

Standalone dedicated control Channel (SDCCH) availability rate.

Standalone dedicated control Channel (SDCCH) congestion rate.

Immediate assignment success rate.

Standalone dedicated control Channel (SDCCH) call drop rate.

Traffic channel (TCH) availability.

Traffic channel (TCH) call drop rate.

Traffic channel (TCH) congestion rate.

Traffic channel (TCH) assignment success rate.

Handover Success rate (HOSR)

Call setup success rate (CSSR)

Call complete success rate (CCSR)

Call setup delay (Ideal value of call setup time is bellow 3.5 seconds).
Above thirteen issues are important for network performance and this issues are directly
impacts on the user experience about the network. On the other hand every single issue is
depending on the multiple variables and as well as each other. Like low success rate of
Handover (HOSR) decreases Call complete success rate (CCSR) and increases dropped call
rate (CDR). Lower value of KPI depends on flowing:
Geo and Meta data issues.

Network Planning and implementation error (Such as cell mismatch, mismatch on RF


parameter and antenna orientation, High VSWR and DTF etc ).
Hardware failure (BTS/RBS down time or off air time) or Hardware Capacity issues
(limited capacity of hardware responsible for network congestion, it's also decreases
network access rate).
Resource constraint (Frequency Band and Absolute radio frequency channel number ARFCN, low height for serving antenna, low transmission capacity).
A GSM KPIs widely depends on the network parameter; such as azimuth, mechanical tilting,
electrical tilting, feeder length, feeder type and antenna height etc. Mismatch on network
parameter decreases the KPI value. KPI is also depends on the core and transmission network
parameter.
Note: GSM network may classified into three parts, these are
Radio access network (RAN)

Core network (CN) and

Transmission network (TN).


Ideal value of KPI is 100, expressed in percentage. In practical its not possible to achieve
100. But you should try to increase KPI values as much as possible. A good example of high
KPI is Airtel network in Bangladesh. Its about 94% in R2 region; R2 region is eastern belt of
country, from Sylhet to Coxs Bazaar including Comilla and Chittagong.
