Tracking Cell Reselection Metrics in Drive Test and Other Tools: Are Parameters Available?

Hi Friends.

Are there any parameter for cell reselection like cell reselection attempt, reselection success, reselection failure, and reselection success rate in Drive Test tool or in any other tool?

We can calculate these things only from events.

Any process of calculating these?

  1. Cell Reselection Attempt
  2. Cell Reselection Success
  3. Cell Reselection Failure
  4. Cell Reselection Success Rate

These KPIs are imposible to get from performance stats.

Yes, but someone is fighting for it and saying we can see.

But I never see these KPI, only analyse events for it.

Without making any code changes and making some counter in L3, it is very difficult to calculate these values from KPI.

Generally get idea from drive test stats for such kpi’s.

From OSS, as of now, not seen.

I tried in TEMS and Nemo but not getting directly from these parameters name.

DT Tool getting Old cell ID, New Cell ID and Cell Reselection Time(ms).

You can check drive test export report, how many cells went to RRC connected mode from idle mode.

If there is no any RACH failures, then you might consider all are success.

If you want to check these, do drive in idle mode. Will have better idea.

Yes, direct not there.

Need to make script, like difference between sib1 reading of target cell and RRC connection release for reselection time.

This is also a good idea :+1:

There is no RRC release in Idle mode.

For Idle mode reselection, just check how many times serving PCI is change in idle mode.

That’s reselection attempt and success.

There is nothing like reselection failure.

It simply cannot be counted.

Because these are UE internal events, NW is never informed about it.

RRC connection release sent by network to UE, for idle mode reselection, how UE can do reselection without idle mode?

It’s there as trigger point.

Even UE will read do evaluation for high to low priority or low to high priority reselection.

He shared this photo but don’t know how he calculated?

Earlier there were information elements (IEs) in TD postprocessing tools.

Not sure whether they have added these events in the TD events or L3 events though.

I haven’t used the pp tool from long time.

If anyone is using the PP tool then it will be easy to explore.
