Abstract

The main challenge of MNOs (Mobile Network Operators) is providing multimedia services with high performance. The 4G/LTE technology has been developed to meet user requirements and provide high network performance. In order to monitor and optimize the network performance, there is a need of using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The KPIs can control the quality of provided services and achieved resource utilization. These indicators are categorized into the following subcategories: accessibility, retainability, mobility, integrity and availability. The presented analysis is performed on real network implemented by Telecom of Kosovo (TK) that is the main mobile Operator in Kosovo. Measurements and analysis are focused on a 24-cell cluster of 4G/LTE TK.
