Accessibility (1) – RRC Setup
Success
RRC Rate
Setup Success Rate (service)
The RRC setup procedure is trigged by different reasons as identified by the establishmentCause field in the
RRCConnctionRequest message: emergency, highPriorityAccess, mt-Access, mo-Signalling, mo-Data, delayTolerantAccess-
v1020.
The UE sets the establishmentCause and received by eNodeB. Causes except mo-Signalling are categorized as service
related ones, and the cause of mo-Signalling is categorized as signal related ones. This KPI evaluates the RRC setup success
rate with service related causes in a cell or cluster.

There are 9 QCIs defined in 3GPP TS 23.203. Each of QCI has its QoS requirements, and each E-RAB will
has the attribute of QCI.

VoIP Call Setup Success Rate (VoIP CSSR)
This KPI evaluates the success rate of the whole setup procedure for VoIP service (QCI 1
service) in a cell or cluster, which mainly includes three phases : RRC setup phase, S1
Signaling connection establishment phase and VoIP E-RAB setup phase:

Retainability (1) – Call Drop Rate
VoIP Call Drop Rate
This KPI can be used to evaluate the call drop rate of VoIP service (QCI 1 service) in a cell or cluster, the call drops happen
when eNode initiate active ERAB (with data in buffer) release process by E-RAB Release Indication or UE Context Release
Request message with Cause field with abnormal reasons (the cause other than : Normal Release, Detach,User Inactivity, cs
fallback triggered, UE Not Available For PS Service,or Inter-RAT redirection), and all of the

This KPI can be used to evaluate the call drop rate of all the services, including the VoIP services, when the always
online state is active. In always online state, the E-RAB number of UE entering the un-synchronous state from
synchronous state will be considered for the KPI E Rcalculating.

Retainability (3) - Call Setup Complete
Rate
VoIP Call Setup Complete Rate (VoIP CSTR)
This KPI evaluates the call Setup Complete Rate for VoIP service (QCI 1 service) in a cell or cluster,
which means the rate of the VoIP service can be normally terminated once user do the attempt to
setup the service. And it can include 4 phases: RRC setup phase, S1 Signaling connection
establishment phase, VoIP E-RAB setup phase and VoIP service E-RAB release phase;
