2. KEYWORDS CSSR, counters, Cell_PCH
3. SUMMARY In RU30 new counters are introduced to improve information about performance of CS Voice calls started at PCH state. These new counters can be used to calculate Voice Call Setup Success Ratio (CSSR) more accurate. In RU20 (IPA-RNC RN5.0 MP5) same implementation is done with spare counters. In RU40 same implementation is in use as in RU30. In Flexi Direct RNC counters M1006C253 and M1006C254 are supported first time in I-Ada5.0 release.
4. DETAILED DESCRIPTION Current Voice CSSR KPI are built based on RRC setup & access success ratio (for different causes e.g. Conv. Call for voice) * Voice RAB setup & access success ratio. With RRC procedure all calls started from Cell_Idle are included in CSSR calculation. But with increased number of smartphones and implementation of PCH in the networks more and more calls are not started from Cell_Idle, but from Cell_PCH state. As calls started from Cell_PCH are not using RRC procedure but Cell Update procedure they are not fully included in CSSR formula. This means that in case voice call is initiated from Cell_PCH state and there is some failure during the cell update procedure this is not reflected to current CSSR KPI (RNC_565). As the number of voice calls started from Cell_PCH state is rapidly increasing in the networks and no proper counters were existing new counters are implemented. These counters can be used to adapt Voice CSSR formula. TS-RNC-SW-166 Nokia Siemens Networks © CONFIDENTIAL APPROVED 5.0

5. SOLUTION / INSTRUCTIONS Since 3GPP REL5 the cell update message includes optional establishment cause field. This establishment cause includes the same causes as for RRC setup and is used to trigger new counters.
In RU30 and RU40 CELL_UPDATE_ATT_CS_CALL (M1006C253): Number of started Cell Update procedures with cause "Originating Conversational Call", "Terminating Conversational Call" or "Emergency Call". The counter is updated when the RNC receives Cell Update from the UE with mentioned causes. CELL_UPDATE_SUCC_CS_CALL (M1006C254): Number of successful Cell Update procedures with cause "Originating Conversational Call", "Terminating Conversational Call" or "Emergency Call". The counter is updated when the UE responds Radio Bearer Reconfiguration Complete after the RNC has sent Cell Update Confirm as a response to Cell Update with the mentioned causes.
In RU20 (IPA-RNC RN5.0 MP5) with same trigger conditions SPARE_1_RRC (M1006C78): Number of started Cell Update procedures with cause "Originating Conversational Call", "Terminating Conversational Call" or "Emergency Call". SPARE_2_RRC (M1006C79): Number of successful Cell Update procedures with cause "Originating Conversational Call", "Terminating Conversational Call" or "Emergency Call".
Attempt counter is not updated immediately when the cell update is received, but only after the result of the procedure is known. If the procedure was successful update both attempt and success counters, but if it fails update only attempt counter This excludes repeated Cell Updates, that are not impacting end user perception, from counting in following cases: - UE is sending a new CU to another cell after Cell reselection - UE is sending CU several times to the same cell before procedure is finished
With new counters Voice CSSR can be adapted. Formula (logical) RRC _ Successful _ Establishments + Successful _ CellUpdates VoiceRAB _ Successful _ Establishments RRC _ Setup _ Attempts + Started _ CellUpdates

Formula for RU20 (IPA-RNC RN5.0 MP5) can be adapted by replacing - M1006C254 CELL_UPDATE_SUCC_CS_CALL by M1006C79 SPARE_2_RRC - M1006C253 CELL_UPDATE_ATT_CS_CALL by M1006C78 SPARE_1_RRC
6. NOTE Establishment cause field in cell update message is optional. Currently it is not verified how many UEs are using it. Adapted Voice CSSR (RNC_5093b Voice Call Setup Success Ratio (RRC+CU)) is included in Reporting Suite for RU30 EP1.
