A.60 Monitoring of the number of active UEs in NG-RAN

28.5523GPP5G performance measurementsManagement and orchestrationRelease 18TS

The number of the active UEs per direction in each cell is a valuable measurement for operators to know how many DRBs are running with buffered data per cell and QoS or S-NSSAI basis. For multi-operator RAN sharing scenario, PLMN basis is needed, too. This kind of information can help operators to tune the admission control parameters for the cell and to estimate load in neighbour cells, to ensure that the UEs admitted achieve the target QoS and that capacity is not over-estimated when distributing load between cells and gNBs.
