Introduction to NSN system
NSN 3G network is functionally divided into three elements.
-WCDMA Radio Access Network (RAN) is one of the main functional elements of the 3G network.
-The other elements in the 3G network are Core Network (CN) and operations support system.
WCDMA radio access network (RAN):

WCDMA RAN consists of one or more Radio Network Subsystems (RNS). RNS is a sub-network within RAN and it consists of one
radio network controller (RNC) and one or more base stations (BTS). RNC controls the radio network and BTS physically implements
the WCDMA radio path.
Core network (CN):

Core network has a circuit-switched domain (MSC, GMSC and VLR) and a packet-switched domain (SGSN and GGSN). CN also
consists of HLR, which handles data needed for subscriber profiles, security activities and establishing connections. Core network is
responsible for switching and routing calls and data connections to external networks. Core network also performs mobility
management together with WCDMA RAN.
Operations support system:

Operations support system is common for WCDMA, GSM and LTE. The same management system is used for managing both the
network and the services provided. In the Nokia Siemens Networks 3G solution, NetAct Framework is used for this task.

• It can have up to 1320 WBTS objects (for mcRNC)
• In the RNC object, the following interfaces are defined: Iu-PS, Iu-CS and
Iur
• The logical object are hierarchically related to each other, therefore it is
not possible to create any other object before RNC creation.
WBTS Object
• The logical object of the WCDMA Base Station (Node B). A WBTS can
have up to 24 WCDMA cells, one COCO and one IPNB object.
• If Iub transport QoS is used, WBTS connects to one TQM object
• Similar to UNODEBSetup

• The logical object of the WCDMA Cell is created to define the
configuration of the WCDMA Node B site. In one RNC database there
can be 2800 WCELs.
• Similar to UNODEBSetup

Radio Resource Management
Radio Resource Management (RRM) is responsible for optimal
utilization of the air interface resources
Target for RRM is to ensure the RAN offers:
• The planned coverage for each targeted service
• High capacity i.e. low blocking (new calls, handovers)
• The required Quality of Service (QoS)
• Optimize the use of available capacity (priorities)
By continuously monitoring/adjusting how the available resources are used in acco

rdance with user requests

RRM Functional Split
 RRM is made up of a number of closely interdependent functions (i.e. alg
orithms)
 These functions can be divided into;
 Cell Based LC

Load control States
• The load control function within RRM can be divided:
• Preventative load control (e.g. congestion)
• Overload control (e.g. dropping of calls in worst case)
• Preventative actions are performed before the cell is overloaded (threshol
d y)
• Overload actions are performed after cell is overloaded (threshold x)
• RNP parameters define the thresholds for the RRM functionalities
• The thresholds define a stable functionality within a cell and with surrou
nding cells

LC
• LC performs the function of load control in association with AC & PS
• Updates load status using measurements & estimations provided by AC and PS
• Continuously feeds cell load information to PS and AC;
• Interference levels
• BTS power levels
• Non-controllable load
Admission Control
 Responsible for maximising capacity (throughput) whilst providing the required quali
ty of service for RT traffic.
 Checks that admitting a new user will not sacrifice planned coverage or quality of e
xisting connections
 Determines whether RABs can be admitted to the RAN
• Handles RT RABs alone by estimating the increase in non-controllable load
• With PS decides whether to allocate resources to NRT RABs
• In the decision UL interference & DL power measurements by BTS are used
• The UL throughput is considered for AC
 Provides RLC parameters to PS for NRT users, for example
• Bearer class
• Transport Formats
 AC sets quality and power parameters for the radio link, for example
• UL/DL BLER, Eb/No targets, SIR target
• Initial DL transmission power

Power Control
• Since WCDMA system is interference limited it is beneficial to reduce tran
smission power as far as possible.
• Thus, the target of power control (PC) is to achieve the minimum signal-t
o-interference ratio (SIR) that is required to offer sufficient quality of
the connection.
• PC works on a per-connection basis.
Handover Control (HC)
• HC is responsible for
• Managing the mobility aspects of an RRC connection as UE move around network
• Maintaining high capacity by ensuring UE is always served by strongest cell

OMC Operation
Data Collecting Flow
The WBTS combines all the performance management
data into one single XML file at the end of each
measurement period and stores the files to its own file
server. The file generation is done at a fixed 60-minute
interval on full hours (1:00, 2:00, 3:00 etc.).
After creating the file, the WBTS sends a notification to the

RNC through the Iub O&M interface. OMS gets the file
notification via OMU. If at least one WBTS measurement is
active in OMS, it uploads the measurement file directly
from the WBTS using FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS. After a
successful upload, OMS sends an acknowledgement
message back to the WBTS through the Iub O&M
connection.
After a delay of few minutes, the data from several base

stations is combined by OMS and written to one
compressed XML file per measurement interval.
One file is created for each measurement type. The
combination of data is done to reduce the number of files
transferred between OMS and NetAct.

Factors Affecting Network Performance
 Many factors and network elements can affect the network performance. Here
are some of the main examples:
• Quality of network equipment, both hardware and software – BTS, RNC,
PS Core, CS Core and transmission equipment
• Performance of UE and field measurement tools – inter-operability, se
nsitivities of measurement parameters, level of accuracy
• Quality of network planning and optimization – coverage, interferenc
e, parameter tuning, capacity dimensioning
• Quality of network implementation - site and network equipment install
ation, integration and commissioning
• Quality of network operation and maintenance
• Multi-vendor environment – Application servers, IP Backbone
• Measurement method – test setup, service dependent, cluster or system
level, area type (dense urban, urban, suburban, rural).
UE Impact on Performance
 The functionality of different UEs are not similar, there are differences
in
• Power control (RACH process)
• SRNC relocation support
• Cell FACH/PCH performance
• Cell reselection/inter RAT cell reselection
• Throughput (during SHO)
• UE power consumption
• UE power spiking
• UE Measurement performance (cell_DCH, cell reselection, ISHO)
• UE Sensitivity
• Data card throughputs
 The malfunctioning of certain UEs will naturally cause drops in setup of a
ctive phase
KPI Definitions
 The KPIs to be monitored from the RAN could be:
• Cell availability
• Call Setup Success Rate (CSSR)
• Call Drop rate
• SHO/ISHO/HSPA SCC success rate
• Packet Session setup/success rate (NRT, HSDPA, HSUPA)
 In Libraries:
• RNC counter description
• NetAckt DB description for RNC measurements
• WCDMA RAN Key Performance Indicators
• Key Indicator Changes

Call Setup Success Rate (CSSR)
 Poor CSSR could be a result of
• Poor coverage or dominance or interference issues in Radio interface
• Capacity issues in Radio or Iub interface
• Configuration issues in WBTS (parameters or HW)
 CSSR is essentially RRC Setup Success * RAB Setup Success

(or successful PS session setups in case of PS call)
 CSSR covers all the steps from the initial RRC connection request from the UE to
the network, through the RRC setup phase and the RAB setup phase, and until user
data is starting to get transferred.
 The CSSR formulas are for different traffic classes like:

• CS voice calls (RNC 565 f)
• CS video calls (RNC 566e)
• PS RT Streaming Calls (RNC 575 d)
• PS NRT Calls (Interactive & Background) (RNC 576d)

RAB Success Ratio (Drop call rate)
 Call is dropped if one (or more) of the following RAB, RB or RL, drops.
 PS call drop is different than the other call type drops, RAB service can still exi
ts even if the RB and/or RL drops
 Poor RAB success ratio could be reason of coverage or interference issues, SHO prob
lems, missing neighbour, inter RNC problems, just to mention some
 Call Drop rate (CDR) is calculated based on RAB activation failures, it can be defi
ned separately for different services
 Normal RAB releases are taken into account
 Drops during the signalling are not included

Packet Call measurements (M1022) for Op
timization
 Separate Packet attempts in UL/DL to see the usage for data (R99 NRT, HSDPA,
HSUPA)
• HSPA increase more interference level of the network
 Initial Setup fail procedure

• AC failure : lack of DL power or high interference
• BTS failure: lack of HW capacity
• DMCU failure: lack of DSP resources in RNC
• TRANS failure: lack of Iub capacity (COCO parameters)
• UE failure: UE internal problem (not capability issue)
 Separate Packet SSSR for R99 NRT, HSDPA and HSUPA to see the main failure
type
 Requests vs. allocations

• It is possible to see whether HSPA was not allocated DL/UL, but DCH in
stead (capacity issue)
Cell Throughput Measurements
 Counters from Traffic measurement (M1002) give informat
ion about the allocated capacity for each RAB type. For
example:
• DUR_PS_INTERA_8_DL_IN_SRNC
 Counters from RCPM measurements (M1017) gives informati

on about transferred payload, but these measurements ge
nerate heavy load on the OSS, so not suitable for daily
monitoring:
• RLC_AM_SDU_UL_PS_VOL
• RLC_AM_SDU_DL_PS_VOL
 With Cell Throughput measurement (M1023) it is easier t

o monitor the payload of the different channel types

Cell Throughput Measurements for Optimi
zation
 Cell throughput measurements are more giving info about data volume th
an the performance
 Could be useful for cell efficiency calculations

• DL throughput vs. Average Cell Tx power
• UL throughput vs. Average Noise Rise
• Comparison to WBTS HW utilization and Iub
