What is Traffic Measurement Recording?

RRC

NBAP RANAP
Internal
UE
Traffic
Measurement
Recording NAS

Built-in Protocol Analyzer in BSC, RNC, NodeB or LTE eNodeB

Able to trace every call (messages are summary of each call)

Introduction to Huawei PCHR

CHR (Call Trace History) is a Traffic Measurement

Recording feature in Huaweis RNC & NodeB
CHR captures Call Summary but not every messages
The RNC CHR captures following logs:

PCHR Log Collection
PCHR logging can be enabled using SET UCHRCTRL
Allow filtering by Domain, Call Request Type or call flow
type
Output log is saved in RNC BAM
/bam/versiona/loaddata/famlogfmt for R10
/bam/common/fam/famlogfmt for R11 and R12
/bam/common/fam/famlogfmt/pchr for R13 and R14
