1 Introduction
The purpose of Counter analysis is to satisfy the needs of the project in terms of accessibility, Retainability and Integrity agreed requirements so as to ensure a good quality of service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE).
2 Performance Management Areas
This section describes the counter flowcharts grouped according to the following performance management areas:
Accessibility
The ability to successfully establish a radio connection for a requested Quality of Service (QoS). Flowcharts for Accessibility include the setup of a Packet-Switched (PS) and Circuit-Switched (CS) Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection, the establishment of a Radio Access Bearer (RAB) for each of the different service types, and paging of the User Equipment (UE), initiated from the Core Network (CN).
Retainability
The ability to maintain an established radio connection until terminated normally by the user. Flowcharts for Retainability include signaling connection handling, which covers release of the RRC and RAB connections due to both normal and abnormal causes; admission control as requested from the radio link reconfiguration, radio link setup, radio link delete, radio link addition and compressed mode usage traffic scenarios; and flowcharts for the loss of a radio connection due to a variety of reasons.
Quality
The quality of a requested service as perceived by an end-user. Flowcharts for Quality include channel switches for various reasons from common to dedicated channel, from dedicated to common channel, from dedicated to dedicated channel, and to idle mode.

System Utilization
Covers system usage and availability, channel and code usage, and congestion situations. Flowcharts for System Utilization include detection of congestion situations, resolution of congestion situations, code allocation and usage, compressed mode usage, cell availability, and cell update.
Mobility
Covers all handover types. Flowcharts for Mobility include Inter-frequency Handover, Radio link Setup/Addition/Deletion/Reconfiguration, Soft Handover Addition/Deletion/Replacement, and Performance Statistics - Flowcharts for Counters Incoming/Outcoming Inter-radio Access Technology

Approved Checked Date Rev Reference

The pmLevel<serviceType>RabEstablish counters are mapped to the related pmSum<serviceType>RabEstablish and pmSamples<serviceType>RabEstabl ish counters. The following is an example using the service type CS12 (that is, speech):
pmSumCs12RabEstablish: Sum of all sample values recorded for number of active speech 12.2–Kbit RABs
pmSamplesCs12RabEstablish: This counter is increased at every occasion when the corresponding sum counter is stepped. It is based on an internal level counter, pmLevelCs12RabEstablish, which is maintained by the RNC.
Values are read periodically, every 5 seconds, from the level counter. Each read results in the pmSamples counter being increased by one, and the actual value read from the level counter being added to the pmSum counter. The level counter maintains a snapshot of the number of single CS12 RABs active at any given instant in time. The counter can be decreased or increased. The level counter is updated by various RNC traffic functions.
The pmLevelUesWithXXRlsYYRlInActSet counters are mapped to the related pmSumUesWith<x>Rls<y>RlInActSet and pmSamplesUesWith<x>Rls<y>RlIn ActSet counters. The following is an example using the number of UEs with one radio link set and two radio links in the Active Set.
pmSumUesWith1Rls2RlInActSet: Sum of all sample values recorded for number of UEs with one radio link set and two radio links in the Active Set.
pmSumUesWith1Rls2RlInActSet: This counter is increased at every occasion when the corresponding sum counter is stepped. It is based on an internal level counter, pmLevelUesWith1Rls2RlInActSet, which is maintained by the RNC. Values are read periodically, every minute, from the level counter. Each read results in the pmSamples counter being increased by one, and the actual value read from the level counter being added to the pmSum counter. The level counter maintains a snapshot of the number of UEs with one radio link set and two radio links in the Active Set at any given instant in time. The counter can be decreased or increased. The level counter is updated by various RNC traffic functions.
