    UMTS Signaling Trace and Analysis

    Uploaded by

    kara nacim
    The document discusses UMTS signaling trace and analysis. It describes how to perform standard traces, debug traces, cell traces, and traces on the M2000 platform. The basic concepts of network topology, interfaces, and protocols are explained. An example call procedure for circuit switched calls is provided. Finally, a case study shows how tracing was used to locate a network issue causing low inter-RAT handover success rates.

    1. Trace operation – Standard Trace

    Purpose: Analyze the call procedure failure cause by monitoring interworking of the signaling on each
    standard interface, interworking of the signaling on the user plane, and uplink and downlink data. In
    combination with a drive test, this task helps to locate problems or deal with complaints from VIP
    subscribers.

    1. Trace operation – Standard Trace
    UE can be traced by
    identify of IMSI,
    MSISDN, IMEI, TMSI or
    P-TMSI.

    Users can trace


    signaling messages of
    the UE on IUR, IUB, IU
    and UU interfaces or on
    a specified interface.

    1. Trace operation – Debug Trace
    Debug Mode: indicates a
    maintenance mode used for
    tracing communication
    messages between Units of the
    RNC.
    Tracing tasks configured on
    Other, Other1, and Bind tab
    pages take effect only when
    Debug Mode is selected.

    Enable statistics on packets received and sent at layer 2 to be reported to the LMT.

    Selecting it enables
    the RAN to send the
    UE packets.

    Purpose: This function helps users to determine whether data disconnection exists between a server and
    the RNC or a low rate on the server side causes the low UE rate.

    1. Trace operation – Cell Trace
    CELL Trace: This section describes how to trace cell
    messages. The UE statistics can be displayed in the
    tracing result if required. The tracing results of the cell
    messages provide reference for troubleshooting
    common channel faults when the access success rate
    is low or zero in the cell.

    1. Trace operation – Cell Trace
    IOS Trace: This section describes how to trace a
    number of calls that meet the sampling criteria within a
    specified range of cells. When creating the task, you
    can specify the number of calls to be traced and
    specify messages to be traced by selecting the event
    type.

    HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.


    1. Trace operation – Cell Trace

    Caution 1: The IOS tracing task involves a large amount of trace information, which affects the system
    operation. Therefore, the maximum number of simultaneously traced calls set in the Max calls
    simultaneously traced area in the IOS dialog box should not be too high. In addition, you are advised
    not to trace all events at a time. Furthermore, you should minimize the frequencies of performing this task
    and the number of tasks performed simultaneously.
    Caution 2: VIP IMSI: Run the “ADD UVIPIMSI” command to add the VIP IMSI.

    Caution 3: This parameter is valid only when the IMEI query function is enabled on the CN or RNC side.

    Interface protocol application part

    RNSAP (Radio Network Subsystem Application Part) is a 3GPP signaling


    protocol responsible for communications between RNCs. It is carried on the
    lur interface and provides functionality needed for soft handovers and SRNS
    relocation.

    NBAP (Node B Application Part) is the signaling protocol responsible for the control of the Node B by the
    RNC.

    UTRAN
    RAB ： The service that the access stratum provides to the non-access stratum for transfer
    of user data between User Equipment and CN 。
    RB ： The service provided by the layer2 for transfer of user data between User
    Equipment and Serving RNC
    RL ： A "radio link" is a logical association between single User Equipment and a single
    UTRAN access point. Its physical realization comprises one or more radio bearer
    transmissions

    3. Trace Analysis Case – Locate Network Issue
    From the counter, we got the main reason: VS.IRATHO.FailOutPS.UEGen. It means that RNC sends
    “Cell change order from UTRAN” to let the UE HO to GSM. If before RNC receive “IU release command”
    from CN, UE reselect to 3G and require a RRC connection. The counter will count.
