1. What is KPI? Why we are concerned about KPI?
KPI is the abbreviation of Key Performance Indicator.
During the process of GSM network operation and
maintenance, OMCR statistics and various tests are
applied to evaluate and quantify network operation
quality. The evaluation results are the KPIs we talk about.
KPI is the abbreviation of Key Performance Indicator.

KPI is the abstract expression of network operation
quality.
Reasonable and complete KPIs can directly reflect
network operation quality, and they are the symbol of
network operation status.
By focusing on changes of KPIs, we can obtain the clear
trend of changes in network operation quality.

2. Classification of ordinary KPIs (2)
According to the observation range, KPIs can also be divided
into basic KPIs and integrated KPIs.
According to the observation range, KPIs can also be divided
into basic KPIs and integrated KPIs.
Integrated KPIs are the weighted superposition of several
indicators, which are obtained through consideration of
indicators at different stages of a process.

3. Relations between KPIs
There is mutual influence between different KPIs. Basic indicators
(of availability or resources ) often have great impact on other
types of indicators, and indicators of accessibility, reliability and
mobility are more related to subscribers’ satisfaction.

Since GSM is a large network system, power supply and
radio transmission is the most important auxiliary system in
it, which is also the basic support system of the whole
network. The status of power supply and radio transmission
directly will affect network operation quality.
In some overseas networks, power generator and micro wave
transmission system are the major components of power
supply and radio transmission. The maintenance ability and
effect of the two components are the key to network
operation quality.

3. Factors affecting KPIs? –Abnormal subscriber behavior
Normally subscribers’ calling behavior is stable, and network

which creates abnormal traffic models and lead to severe
fluctuations in KPIs.

factors)
To eliminate the influence of non-optimization-related factors on
KPIs, we need to coordinate resources of different aspects.

5. What system functions have impacts on KPIs?
KPIs may be impacted by some system functions. Pay
attention to the possible impacts before commissioning.

DTX / Power
control enabled
Internal interference
may be reduced
HR enabled
It can reduce
congestion and
improve connection
rate
AMR enabled
It can improve UL/DL
RQ, decrease call drop
rate.
DTX may bring in background noise in calls.
It may lead to decrease in MOS, SQI and call quality.
For MSs incapable to meet protocol stipulations, it may lead to assignment failure, call drops, or problem of being unable to originate a call.
