The document discusses 5G end to end Key Performance Indicators (KPI) as defined by ETSI. It provides definitions for various network performance metrics.

The document is about defining key performance indicators (KPIs) for measuring 5G network performance from an end-to-end perspective. It focuses on metrics like latency, throughput and capacity for both the radio access network and core network.

User Equipment (UE) throughput in the radio access network (RAN) is mentioned as an important performance parameter. End-to-end latency and throughput are also defined as important KPIs.

To achieve a Throughput measurement (below examples are given for DL) that is independent of file size and gives a

utilized. (Successful transmission, buffer empty in figure 1).

Annex A (informative):
Use cases for end to end KPIs
A.1 Use case for end-to-end latency measurements of
5G Network related KPI
The end-to-end latency is an important performance parameter for operating 5G network. In some scenarios (e.g.
uRLLC), if end-to-end latency is insufficient, the 5G network customer cannot obtain guaranteed network performance
provided by the network operator. So it is necessary to define end-to-end latency of network related measurement to
evaluate whether the end-to-end latency that network customer requested has been satisfied. A procedure is invoked by
network management system and is used:

- to update the CSMF/NSMF with the end-to-end latency parameter for monitoring;

- to inform the network customer/network operator the end-to-end latency;

- to make CSMF/NSMF aware if the end-to-end latency can meet network customer’s service requirement.

If high end-to-end latency are measured, it is also of benefit to pinpoint where in the chain from application to UE that
the latency occurs.

A.2 Use case for number of registered subscribers of


single network slice instance related KPI
Number of registered subscribers of single network slice instance can be used to describe the amount of subscribers that
are successfully registered, it can reflect the usage of network slice instance, It is useful to evaluate accessibility
performance provided by one single network slice instance which may trigger the lifecycle management of the network
slice, this kind of KPI is valuable especially when network functions (e.g. AMF) are shared between different network
slice instances. This KPI is focusing on both network and user view.

A.3 Use case for upstream/downstream throughput for


one single network slice instance related KPI
Measuring throughput is useful to evaluate system load of end to end network slice. If the throughput of the specific
network slice instance cannot meet the performance requirement, some actions need to be performed to the network
slice instance e.g. reconfiguration, capacity relocation. So it is necessary to define the IP throughput for one single
network slice instance. This KPI is focusing on network and user view.

A.4 Use case for mean PDU sessions number in Network


Slice instance
It is necessary to evaluate the mean PDU session number in the network slice instance to indicate system load level. For
example, if the mean value of the PDU sessions is high, maybe the system capacity should be increased. This KPI is
focusing on network view.

A.5 Use case for virtualised resource utilization of


Network Slice instance related KPI
It is necessary to evaluate the current utilization of virtualised resources (e.g. memory and storage utilization) that a
network slice instance is occupied. If the utilization is larger or smaller than the threshold, maybe some scale in/out
operations will be made by the management system. This KPI is focusing on network and user view.

ETSI
3GPP TS 28.554 version 15.0.1 Release 15 14 ETSI TS 128 554 V15.0.1 (2018-10)

A.6 Use case for 5GS registration success rate of one


single network slice instance related KPI
It is necessary to evaluate accessibility performance provided by 5GS. 5GS registration for a UE is important when they
have registered to the network slice instance. If users or subscribers cannot register to the network slice instance, they
cannot access any network services in the network slice instance. This KPI is focusing on network view.

A.7 Use case for RAN UE throughput related KPI


The UE perceived throughput in NG-RAN is an important performance parameter for operating 5G network. If the UE
throughput of the NR cell cannot meet the performance requirement, some actions need to be performed to the network,
e.g. reconfiguration or capacity increase. So it is necessary to define UE throughput KPI to evaluate whether the end-
users are satisfied. The KPI covers volume large enough to make the throughput measurement relevant, i.e. excluding
data volume of the last or only slot.

The UE throughput KPI covers also "NR option 3" scenarios. Then the gNB is "connected" towards the EPC, and not
towards 5GC.

It is proposed to allow the KPI separated based on mapped 5QI (or for QCI in case of NR option 3).

When network slicing is supported by the NG-RAN, multiple NSIs may be supported. The UL and DL UE throughput
for each NSI is then of importance to the operator to pinpoint a specific performance problem.
