1 Introduction Most of the Event Diagrams based on Iu Interface signalling have been redesigned.

The following analyses were modified:

- CS Call Handling

- PS Call Handling

CS/PS Mobility Management and Session Management events did not change.

The scope of this document is to describe only the changes in the Iu event detection. There is no description of the events that are handled in unchanged diagrams

1.1 Diagrams

Previously the event diagrams were arranged in the following way:

2 CS Events Events in the CS domain are referred to services like AMR Voice Call, UDI Video Call, SMS and Mobility Management procedures (IMSI Attach, Location Area Update, IMSI Detach).

Current Iu diagrams analyze these main procedures/services:

• MOC (Voice and video)

• MTC (Voice and video)

• Location Area Updates

• IMSI Attach/Detach

In addition, each SCCP Connection established over the Iu-CS interface is traced, together with the RANAP messages eventually exchanged over the SCCP connection.

2.1 Iu-CS Transport Event Diagram

The scope of the Iu-CS transport diagram is to trace the main SCCP/RANAP procedures of each Iu-CS Signalling Connection.

Some of the information set in this diagram is used in the upper layers diagrams that handle CS calls and Mobility management procedures across the Iu-CS interface. The most important of

Page 7: Iu Events definition in UMTS-Unify3G v1_0.pdf

Iu Event Definition in UMTS – Unify3G v1.0 November 2005

Actix Confidential and Proprietary Page 5

this information is the status of the Iu-connection itself (up, down, establishing, releasing, etc.). The upper layer diagrams in fact rely on the presence of the underlying Iu Connection.

2.2 Iu-CS Call Outgoing Diagram

The scope of the Iu-CS Call Outgoing diagram is to trace MO CS Calls, both AMR voice (12.2 kbps) and UDI Video (64 kbps). Originated SMSs are also tracked but no events are set apart from the CS Call Type, which assumes the “SMS” value.

Here below is shown the criteria used for the main Iu-CS Call KPIs:

- Call Setup Failure (Iu_OutgoingCallSetupFail)

o The SCCP Connection is refused by the MSC

o CM Service Abort

o Anytime before CC:Alerting, release at NAS level with any of the following CC Cause classes:

§ Resource Unavailable

§ Invalid Message

Page 8: Iu Events definition in UMTS-Unify3G v1_0.pdf

Iu Event Definition in UMTS – Unify3G v1.0 November 2005

Actix Confidential and Proprietary Page 6

§ Protocol Error

NOTE: in case of release at NAS level without CC cause being indicated (the information is optional) the call setup is considered failed

o Normal Release at NAS level due to previous RAB Setup Failure

o Release of the underlying transport layer (SCCP / Iu-CS Connection) at anytime between SCCP:Connection Confirm and CC:Alerting

- Early Terminated Call Setup (Iu_OutgoingEarlyTerminatedCall)

An Early Terminated Call is a call that does not reach the Successful Setup state but at the same time is not considered a Call Setup Failure, for example because the called party rejected the call. It is important to isolate these cases because they normally do not represent abnormal or failure scenarios in the network.

o Anytime between CC:Setup and CC:Alerting, release at NAS level with any of the following CC Cause classes:

§ Normal Event

§ Service Option not Available

§ Service Option not Implemented

Typical examples of release cause that falls in these criteria are:

- User busy

- Call rejected

- Unassigned number

Also a NAS release with cause “Normal Call Clearing” during a RAB Setup procedure is considered an Early Terminated Call Setup and not a Call setup Failure

- Call Setup Successful (Iu_OutgoingCallOK)

o CC:Alerting

o CC:Connect Ack in case CC:Alerting is not sent (eg. called UE is switched off and answering machine starts )

- Call Dropped (Iu_CallDropped)

A call drop event can be set only if the call reached the Successful Call setup state.

o If CC:Connect Ack message is not sent yet:

Release at NAS level with any of the following CC Cause classes:

§ Resource Unavailable

Page 9: Iu Events definition in UMTS-Unify3G v1_0.pdf

Iu Event Definition in UMTS – Unify3G v1.0 November 2005

Actix Confidential and Proprietary Page 7

§ Invalid Message

§ Protocol Error

o If CC:Connect Ack message was sent:

Release at NAS level with any cause other than “Normal Call clearing” and “Normal Unspecified”

NOTE: in case of release at NAS level without CC cause being indicated (the information is optional) the call is considered dropped

o Release of the underlying transport layer (SCCP / Iu -CS Connection) not being preceded by a release at NAS level. The only exception is when the Iu connection is released due to successful completion of an outgoing SRNS Relocation procedure (Iu Release with cause “”Successful Relocation”)

- Call Dropped beyond MSC (Iu_CallDroppedBeyondMSC)

This is a special case of call drop event that covers scenarios where the call is dropped due to problems on the other leg of the call.

The signaling for these calls does not show any failure, but only a call release initiated by the MSC at NAS level. The event therefore is useful to detect drop calls even in the case the signaling do not reveal any failure scenario in the monitored leg of the call. The reason for not including this scenario in the normal Call Dropped KPI is the event reflects only the user experience (the call drops for both users) but it does not represent an actual communication failure in the monitored leg of the call.

o After CC:Connect Ack message was sent:

Release at NAS level with cause “Normal Unspecified”

NOTE1: this event is peg only after reaching the Connect phase; if the MSC releases the call with cause “Normal Unspecified” between the Alerting and Connect phases the call is considered Completed, to cope with the case of T301 expiry. Next release will allow the user to specify the T301 value and event engine will be able to differentiate between a call dropped beyond MSC during Alerting and Connect phases and a call completion due to T301 expiry case.

NOTE2: as described in the previous KPI definitions, when MSC release the call with a “Normal Event” CC Cause Class before reaching the Alerting phase the event is stamped as Early Terminated Call Setup

- Call Completed (Iu_CallCompleted)

o If CC:Connect Ack message is not sent yet:

Release at NAS level with any of the following CC Cause classes:

§ Normal Event

§ Service option not Available

§ Service option not Implemented

o If CC:Connect Ack message was sent:

Release at NAS level with “Normal Call clearing”

o Release of the underlying transport layer (SCCP / Iu -CS Connection) due to successful completion of an outgoing SRNS Relocation procedure (Iu Release with cause “”Successful Relocation”)

2.3 Iu-CS Call Incoming Diagram

The scope of the Iu-CS Call Outgoing diagram is to trace MT CS Calls, both AMR voice (12.2 kbps) and UDI Video (64 kbps). Terminated SMSs are also tracked but no events are set apart from the CS Call Type, which assumes the “SMS” value.

The criteria used for MT CS calls KPIs is the same as the one for MO CS calls (see previous section).

These are the attributes associated the main KPIs:

Call Setup Failure à Iu_IncomingCallSetupFail

Early Terminated Call Setup à Iu_IncomingEarlyTerminatedCall

Call Setup Successful à Iu_IncomingCallOK

Call Dropped à Iu_CallDropped

Call Completed à Iu_CallCompleted

2.4 Iu Location Update Diagram

The scope of the Iu Location Update diagram is to trace Mobility Management activity of users in the Iu-CS domain (MM).

Here below is shown the criteria used for the main Iu-CS Mobility Management KPIs:

- Location Update Failure / IMSI Attach Failure

(Iu_LocationUpdateFail, Iu_IMSIAttachFail)

The following scenarios trigger a LU Failure or a IMSI Attach failure depending on the value of Location Update Type field (Normal LU / Peiodic LU / IMSI Attach) - precondition is the detection of a previous Location Update Request message:

o The SCCP Connection is refused by the MSC

o MM:Location Update Reject

o Release of the underlying transport layer (SCCP / Iu -CS Connection) at anytime between SCCP:Connection Confirm and:

§ MM:Location Update Accept if this message does not include new TMSI

§ MM:TMSI Reallocation Complete if Location Update Accept message included new TMSI

NOTE: the diagram does not check any of the LU related timers (T3210..T3213, T3240, T3241 and T3250, T3255). Only at the release of Iu connection in the two clauses above listed will trigger the Location Update Failure event.

- Successful Location Update / Successful IMSI attach

(Iu_LocationUpdateOK, Iu_IMSIAttachOK)

Page 12: Iu Events definition in UMTS-Unify3G v1_0.pdf

Iu Event Definition in UMTS – Unify3G v1.0 November 2005

Actix Confidential and Proprietary Page 10

The following scenarios trigger a successful LU or IMSI Attach depending on the value of Location Update Type field (Normal LU / Periodic LU / IMSI Attach) - precondition is the detection of a previous Location Update Request message:

o MM:Location Update Accept if this message does not include new TMSI

o MM:TMSI Reallocation Complete if Location Update Accept message included new TMSI

- Detach (Iu_CS_IMSIDetach)

o MM: Detach Indication

Used to extract the signaling of a call over Iu

Iu_Call_Id_Inc_UserPlane Long

Iu_Call_Id_Inc_UserPlane uniquely identifies an SCCP connection and the associated User plane connections over the Iu interface (CS or PS) within a logfile.

Used to extract the signaling and User Plane of a call over Iu.

NOTE: User Plane over Iu-CS interface is not tracked

Used to extract the signaling and User plane of a call over Iu and Iub

NOTE: User Plane over Iu-CS interface is not tracked

3 PS Events

Events in the PS domain are referred to services like Web Browsing, File download, Video Streaming, MMS, Session Management procedures (PDP Context Activation/Deactivation) and Mobility Management procedures (PS Attach, Routing Area Update, PS Detach).

It should be noted that the Iu-PS event diagrams do not handle events in the application layer (e.g. FTP, HTTP). From the radio technology point of view all these application services rely on underlying “Packet Calls”.

There could be more than one definition of Packet Call over the Iu interface. For example, a Packet Call can be considered equivalent to a PDP Session or to PS RAB Session; in the following sections the definition of packet calls over the Iu interface adopted by Actix is described.

Current Iu diagrams handle these main procedures/services:

• PS MOC (Packet Switch Mobile Originated Call)

• PS MTC (Packet Switch Mobile Terminated Call)

• PDP Context Activation/Deactivation

• Routing Area Updates

• PS Attach/Detach

Page 18: Iu Events definition in UMTS-Unify3G v1_0.pdf

Iu Event Definition in UMTS – Unify3G v1.0 November 2005

Actix Confidential and Proprietary Page 16

In addition, each SCCP Connection established over the Iu-PS interface is traced, together with the RANAP messages eventually exchanged over the SCCP connection.

Iu-PS User plane is also tracked whenever the signalling for setting up the PDP Context is part of the tracked SCCP/RANAP connection. In always-on networks where the user can maintain the same PDP context for different calls, the Iu-PS User Plane may not be tracked as there is no need to establish the PDP every time a call is originated.

Support Iu-PS User Plane in always-on scenario will be available in a future release.

3.1 Iu-PS Transport Event Diagram

The scope of the Iu-PS transport diagram is to trace the main SCCP/RANAP procedure of each Iu-PS Signalling Connection.

Some of the information set in this diagram is used in the upper layers diagrams that handle PS calls and Mobility management procedures across the Iu-PS interface. The most important of this information is the status of the Iu-connection itself (up, down, establishing, releasing, etc.). The upper layer diagrams in fact rely on the presence of the underlying Iu Connection.

Page 19: Iu Events definition in UMTS-Unify3G v1_0.pdf

Iu Event Definition in UMTS – Unify3G v1.0 November 2005

Actix Confidential and Proprietary Page 17

3.2 Iu-PS Call handling Diagram

Unlike CS call handling, only one diagram traces PS Calls.

Definition of PS call over the Iu-PS Interface:

A PS call is equivalent to a RAB instance.

However a PS call does not necessarily starts at the RAB Setup RANAP procedure. Whenever it is possible to derive from the signalling that an attempt to establish a PS call is ongoing, even before the RAB setup phase, an attempt of establishing a PS call is detected by the diagram. For example a Service Request message with service type “Data” implies that a RAB needs to be established to transfer data for the new service requested.

Details on the triggers for PS Calls related events are provided below in the KPIs description.

- Call Setup Failure (Iu_OutgoingCallSetupFail_PS, Iu_IncomingCallSetupFail_PS)

For PS connections initiated with a Service Request with Service Type different from “Signaling”:

o The SCCP Connection is refused by the MSC

o Service Reject

Page 20: Iu Events definition in UMTS-Unify3G v1_0.pdf

Iu Event Definition in UMTS – Unify3G v1.0 November 2005

Actix Confidential and Proprietary Page 18

o Release of the underlying transport layer (SCCP / Iu -PS Connection) at anytime between SCCP:Connection Confirm and RAB Assignment Request (Setup)

For any PS connection:

o RAB Assignment Response (Failure to Setup)

o Activation PDP Context Reject (if not due to RAB Setup failure – see above trigger)

o Release of the underlying transport layer (SCCP / Iu -PS Connection) at anytime between RAB Assignment Request (Setup) and successful completion of the Call Setup (RAB Assignment Response or Activation PDP Context Accept)

- Call Setup Successful (Iu_OutgoingCallOK_PS, Iu_IncomingCallOK_PS)

o Activation PDP Context Accept

o RAB Assignment Response (Setup) if the RAB Setup procedure is not part of a PDP Context Activation (i.e. the PDP Context is already established)

- Call Dropped (Iu_CallDropped_PS)

A call drop event can be set only if the call reached the Successful Call setup state.

o RAB Assignment Request (Release) with a release cause different from “Normal Release”

o RAB Assignment Request (Release) if the request was initiated by the RNC (via previous RAB Release Request)

o In case of PS RABs still set up, release of the underlying transport layer (SCCP / Iu-PS Connection) with cause different from:

§ Successful Relocation

§ User Inactivity

§ NAS Normal release

- Call Completed (Iu_CallCompleted_PS)

o RAB Assignment Response (Released) with a release cause “Normal Release”

o In case of PS RAB(s) still set up, release of the underlying transport layer (SCCP / Iu-PS Connection) with any of the following causes:

§ Successful Relocation

§ User Inactivity

§ NAS Normal release

3.3 Iu-PS Mobility Management Diagram

The scope of the Iu-PS Mobility Management Diagram is to trace Mobility Management activity of users in the Iu-PS domain (GMM).

Here below is shown the criteria used for the main Iu-PS Mobility Management KPIs:

- PS Attach Failure (Iu_PS_Attach_Fail)

The following scenarios trigger PS Attach failure (precondition is the detection of a previous Attach Request message):

o The SCCP Connection is refused by the MSC

o GMM:Attach Reject

o Release of the underlying transport layer (SCCP / Iu -PS Connection) at anytime between SCCP:Connection Confirm and:

§ GMM:Attach Accept if this message does not include new P-TMSI

§ GMM:TMSI Reallocation Complete if Attach Accept message included new P-TMSI

o T3350 expiry

- Successful PS Attach (Iu_PS_Attach_OK)

The following scenarios trigger a successful PS Attach - precondition is the detection of a previous Attach Request message:

o GMM:Attach Accept if this message does not include new P-TMSI

o GMM:p-TMSI Reallocation Complete if Attach Accept message included new P-TMSI

- Routing Area Update Failure (Iu_PS_RAU_Fail)

The following scenarios trigger RAU failure (precondition is the detection of a previous RAU Request message):

o The SCCP Connection is refused by the MSC

o GMM:Routing Area Update Reject

o Release of the underlying transport layer (SCCP / Iu -PS Connection) at anytime between SCCP:Connection Confirm (or 1st RAU Request attempt if SCCP connection is already established) and:

§ GMM:RAU Accept if this message does not include new P-TMSI

§ GMM:P-TMSI Reallocation Complete if RAU Accept message included new P-TMSI

o T3350 expiry

- Successful Routing Area Update (Iu_PS_RAU_OK)

The following scenarios trigger a successful Routing Area Update - precondition is the detection of a previous RAU Request message:

o GMM:Routing Area Update Accept if this message does not include new P-TMSI

o GMM:P-TMSI Reallocation Complete if RAU Accept message included new P-TMSI

- PS Detach Failure (Iu_PS_Detach_Fail)

The following scenarios trigger a PS Detach failure - precondition is the detection of a previous GMM: Detach Request message:

o T3321 expiry

o Release of the underlying transport layer (SCCP / Iu -PS Connection) at anytime between SCCP:Connection Confirm (or 1st Detach Request attempt if SCCP connection is already established) and Detach Accept when the Detach is UE initiated

- Successful PS Detach (Iu_PS_Detach_OK)
