INITIAL LTE KPI TROUBLESHOOTING METRICS - NOKIA
ACCESSIBILITY
RETAINABILITY
MOBILITY
Measure of the ability of a user
to obtain an E-RAB from the
system.
The Initial E-RAB
Establishment process can be
divided into the following
phases:
Measure of the ability of a user
to retain the E-RAB once
connected, for the desired
duration.Call drops are also
referred as Radio Link
Failures (RLF).
UE moves from one eNB to
target eNB while keeping its
connected state. LTE Services
will be uninterrupted.
Preparation – The Source
eNodeB sends a request to the
Target eNodeB, which
performs admission control
Execution – After successful
preparation, the Source
eNodeB sends a handover
command to the UE
The mechanisms dealing with
RLF are implemented at both
UE and eNB side.
1.If UE detects radio link
problems it tries to recover
from RLF during specified
interval of time by RRC
