LTE Cell Trace and UE Trace Handling
Cell Trace
• The Cell trace feature collects events/traces for a group of cells. It collects all events related to the cell relations for that cell and for the entire RBS.
• The Cell trace is the most common form of general troubleshooting within the network. It is possible to analyze overall performance of the network seeing patterns and trends within a large group of cells/RBSs.
