a. Call setup success rate
b. Drop call rate (DCR)
c. Speech Quality using MOS (mean opinion score)
d. Downlink & Uplink packet (voice) drop rate
e. Call Silence Rate
f. Coverage (%)- Signal strength
II. Data Service:
a. Data Throughput (Downlink and uplink both)
b. Packet drop rate (Downlink & Uplink)
c. Video streaming delay
d. Latency
e. Jitter
