6.4.1.8.5 HSDPA Throughput

Table 1 Mean Throughput for One HSDPA User

Name Mean Throughput for One HSDPA User

Description This counter indicates the mean downlink throughput for ONE HSDPA UE in a cell.
When the data is transferred to an HSDPA serving cell, the RNC measures the data
transfer time of all the UEs and the total bytes sent in the cell. At the end of the
measurement period, the RNC divides the total bytes by the total data transfer time
to obtain the mean downlink throughput of MAC-d flow in the cell. The RLC header
and the retransmitted data are excluded.

Note For 3900 series NodeBs, it is recommended that you use the NodeB counters in the
following formula to calculate the single user throughput. These NodeB counters
measure the valid throughput when data exists in the user buffer every transmission
time interval (TTI). In this case, the value of this KPI is more accurate for UEs. The
throughput of a single user at the NodeB MAC-hs layer is calculated using the
following formula:
VS.HSDPA.DataOutput.Traffic/
(VS.HSDPA.DataTtiNum.User x 2)

NOTE:
VS.HSDPA.DataOutput.Traffic measures the total traffic volume of the MAC-
hs/MAC-ehs PDUs with ACKs from all users in a TTI within a measurement period.
(Unit : bit).
VS.HSDPA.DataTtiNum.User measures the total number of user-level TTIs (TTI =
2ms) within which there is data to transmit in HSDPA user queue buffers within a
measurement period. (VS.HSDPA.DataTtiNum.User x 2) and converts the number
of TTIs to the data transmission time.

Table 2 Mean Throughput for One HSDPA Cell

Name Mean Throughput for One HSDPA Cell
 Description This counter provides the MAC-hs throughput when at least one HSDPA user is
transferring data at the physical layer during the entire measurement period.

Associated Mean Throughput for One HSDPA Cell =

Unit/Range kbit/s

Note 1. We can apply the following formula to get the Mean HSDPA Cell
Throughput within RNC approximately:
HSDPA Cell Throughput (RNC Cell) =
VS.HSDPA.MeanChThroughput.TotalBytes x 8/ [{SP} x 60]/1000
Where:
• {SP} is the Statistic Period with the unit of Minute.
• The KPI may not be accurate under the following condition:
there is no HSDPA User transferring data for a while during
the total measurement period. Therefore, the KPI should be
evaluated during busy hour for accuracy.
2. For 3900 series NodeBs, the HSDPA throughput at the MAC-hs layer is
calculated using the following formula:
VS.HSDPA.DataOutput.Traffic/
[(VS.DataTtiRatio.Mean -
VS.HSDPA.InactiveDataTtiRatio.Mean) x {SP} x 60]
