How to Check Active LTE Users QCI-Wise in Ericsson?

Dear Experts,

I would like to know how to properly check the number of active LTE users QCI-wise in Ericsson systems.

I am currently using the counter:

PmActiveUeDlSumQci.6

However, it is giving a very large value, which seems incorrect for representing the actual number of active users.

Could someone please guide me on:

  • The correct way to calculate active users per QCI?
  • The proper formula to use?
  • Whether any normalization or averaging is required?

Thank you.

You have to divide it to ROP and TTIs.

Sum/samples, look for the samples counter.

Divide it by pmActiveUeDrbSamp to obtain the average number of simultaneously.

PmActiveUeDlSumQci.X represents the number of active users per TTI for X QCI.

Let me check this today.
For now, I have divided it by GP × 1000.

GP refers to the granularity period. For example, if the data is hourly, the GP value is 60.

It’s mainly about the optics. What you’re getting now is calculated on a per-millisecond scale, which works well only if you can guarantee that users were scheduled in each of 60,000 intervals in an hour.

Using pmActiveUeDrbSamp instead provides an accurate average, because it removes the TTI intervals where no user was scheduled in an hour.

The difference will be more pronounced in daily stats and in hourly rural stats.

Okay, let me check this counter today @Usman bhai.
