A Even though you have the whole knowiedge of this technology, itis impossible to implement a protocol stack or test cases which does not need any troubleshooting. In reality, most of the engineers has relatively good knolwedge on a specific area or specific layer Dut much less knowledge on other layers. However when a problem happens, we Usually have to analyze across multiple layers meaning that we need knowledge on several layers and detailed interrelations between those layers. In 2 word, there is no way to troubleshoot in @ single shot and no short cut for it. A third of them came from the knowledge anda third of them came from experience and the other third came from the combination of these two, In this section, I woulc try putting down some troubleshooting tips mostly based on my experience, Following is the list of tne tips and this ist would get longer as time goes on, ‘Tools for troubieshoot ‘The most important initial 5 steps UE does not even try to search any cell 'No Service” on Power On All the S1Bs are decoded but UE does not initiate RACH process. Not all SIBs are decoded Network detected but no further progress UE keep sending PRACH UE log says "It sent Msg3", but Network log says "It hasn’t received it” sent Message and Network sent Message, but UF does not send Mes Network(Network simulator) sent some data but HARQ ACK/NACK does not received EMM : Security Mode Reject with the cause of #23:UE security capabilites mismatch RC Connection Reconfiguration Complete doesn’t get received on network side EMM Detach Request right after EPS Bearer Setup or No Altach Accepl/No Activate Default EPS Bearer Accept CRC Error SR (Scheduling Request) Not Working MIMO Related Issue CSFB Related Issue © Measurement Contr © Some UE specific Issues Message Correlation Issues Measurement Report related Issue Tools for troubleshoot ‘The more tools you have, generally the easier to troubleshoot. I hope I can get at least the followings tools as ‘minimum (in many case even this minimum are not meet giving me mare headache though) 1) Logging tools on network emulator (It should have not only signaling log (L3 and above) but also all the lower layer log as well) |i) Logaing tools on UE (In this case as well we need not only signaling log but also al the lower layer log) Ii RF Vector Sepctrum Analyzer (This should have good quiaity of zero-span with triggering capabiity. It would help 2 lot at RACH process or handover process troubleshooting). ‘Among this tools, I want to put a special emphasis on logging tools. OF course the best Jogging too! would the one Which can show the process for all the layers. It should show nat only for scheduling information but also for the payload for eacn layer. Especially t's very Important to the logging tools that can show PDSCH anc PUSCH payload ‘and SFN:Subframe. But in reality many of the logging tools suppress POSCH/PUSCH cata since collecting al of these can be too much load for processor. However, PDSCH/PUSCH Is more important than any other layers mainly for the following reason, ) PUSCH/PDSCH payload can show the data and header for all ther layers ike MAC, RLC, POCP headers. 772013 11:02.
