Vendors that are supported by the TrueCall Common LTE client are

l Ericsson
l Huawei OSSii NBI
l Nokia
l Alcatel-Lucent (Nokia PCMD)
l Samsung

Mean UL RX [Samsung] The KPI is the arithmetic Samsung √ √ √ √ √
Interference mean of the Last UL Rx Interference
Power Power of each sampled call.  For
Samsung, the last valid MAC_RX_

used to determine the last uplink
received interference power of a
call.  Received interference power is
defined in 3GPP TS 36.214 as the
uplink received interference power,
including thermal noise, within one
physical resource block's bandwidth
of the resource block size in the
frequency domain.

Confidence All string enum N/A TrueCall provides four different confidence levels of uncertainty. For
MLE and ARC, High confidence represents <200m, Medium confidence
represents 200m - 300m, and Low confidence represents >300m. For
RSM, High confidence represents <0.2 ISD, Medium confidence
represents 0.2-0.3 ISD, and Low confidence represents > 0.3 ISD. 'MDT
GPS' is the location from MDT report. It's only reported in LTE. The
Geolocation Confidence is an estimation coming inherently from a
probability algorithm, and gives a quantitative quality-measure of the
calculated geolocation. It is important to note that the confidence level
is not a direct accuracy measure, and low confidence does not
necessarily mean a poor accuracy. Geolocations with a Low confidence
level represents that the call provided few predictors, resulting in a
wider area of likely location. This effect is greater in environments
where there are large Inter-Site Distances. For these types of calls, the
uncertainty of the geolocation is higher, and is thus provided to the
user as being of a lower confidence level. NB-IoT calls are always set to
indicate unknown confidence.
Environment All string enum N/A Indicates whether the call was determined to be indoor, mobile or
outdoor stationary. Not set for NB-IoT calls.

Duration All duration no units 0..99999999:59 Duration of the RRC connection, calculated as the sum of the durations
of the fragments. For ALU LTE, call duration is the difference between
the first start time and last end time in all fragments. When used in a
fragment, the duration is calculated as the difference between the
timestamps of the first and last Cell Trace events received. For
Samsung LTE, the duration of a fragment or call is calculated based on
the later of the two timestamps, the timestamp of the last ASN.1 event
received or the timestamp of the Disconnection Information of the CSL
associated with the fragment or call.

UE Category All string enum N/A Downlink UE Category includes values for WB-E-UTRAN and NB-IoT.
When more than one UE Category is available, a prioritization rule is
defined which prioritizes the most recently defined UE Categories over
older UE Categories. When Downlink UE Category is not available for a
WB-E-UTRAN call, the pre-Release 12 UE Category is used to
determine the UE Category. For an NB-IoT call, the UE Category
indicates NB2 if indication of NB2 is received, or NB1 if NB1 is
indicated but NB2 is not, or is not set if neither indication is received. In
the case of Samsung only, when UE Category is not available from
standard 3GPP signaling, UE Category may be taken from the DL
Category of the CSL. In the case of Alcatel-Lucent PCMD, UE Category
is derived from the 'UE Category' (field number 223) of the PCMD
rather than from 3GPP signaling. In the case of Ericsson only, when UE
Category is not available from standard 3GPP signaling, UE Category
may be derived from EVENT_PARAM_UE_CATEGORY_FLEX of the

VoLTE RTP Gap Samsung bool boolean True, False [Samsung] A VoLTE no RTP gap indication is indicated if a received CSL
indicates that a PDCP or MAC uplink or downlink gap between RTP
packets has been detected over a QCI#1 radio bearer. No RTP gaps
are determined from the MAC_UP_NO_RTP, MAC_DL_NO_RTP, PDCP_
UL_NO_RTP and PDCP_DL_NO_RTP fields of the Call Debugging
Information of the CSLs associated with the call. A no RTP gap is
detected within the PDCP layer when uplink or downlink traffic for a
QCI#1 radio bearer is not detected for the period of the Samsung
noRtpTimer. A no RTP is detected within the MAC layer if scheduling is
not executed for a downlink or uplink section of a QCI#1 radio bearer
within expected time limit when RTP packets are waiting to be
transmitted.
VoLTE One Way Samsung bool boolean True, False [Samsung] A VoLTE one-way audio warning is indicated when either of
Audio Warning the RLC uplink or downlink no-packet delay exceeds the no-packet
delay threshold set by IRIS, or when either the RLC uplink or downlink
zero-BO count exceeds the zero-BO count threshold set by IRIS. The
RLC no-packet delay is taken from the RLC_UL_NO_PACKET_DELAY of
CSL Call Debugging Information for the uplink and from the RLC_DL_
NO_PACKET_DELAY of CSL Call Debugging Information for the
downlink. No-packet delay counts measure the number of TTIs from
setup of a QCI#1 bearer until the reception of the first packet. RLC
zero-BO counts are taken from the RLC_UL_ZERO_BO_CNT of CSL Call
Debugging Information for the uplink and from the RLC_DL_ZERO_BO_
CNT of CSL Call Debugging Information for the downlink. The zero-BO
count is the number of times that BO is zero for a QCI#1 radio bearer
in the indicated direction for a duration greater than that of the
noRtpTimer.

A.3 Common LTE Enumerated Values


The following enumerated values are available for Common LTE.

Attribute Enumerated Values


End Latitude Latitude of the UE end start location determined by TrueCall. Not set for NB-IoT calls.
[degrees]
End Longitude Longitude of the UE call end location determined by TrueCall. Not set for NB-IoT calls.
[degrees]
Confidence TrueCall provides four different confidence levels of uncertainty. For MLE and ARC, High confidence represents <200m, Medium confidence represents
200m - 300m, and Low confidence represents >300m. For RSM, High confidence represents <0.2 ISD, Medium confidence represents 0.2-0.3 ISD, and Low
confidence represents > 0.3 ISD. 'MDT GPS' is the location from MDT report. It's only reported in LTE. The Geolocation Confidence is an estimation coming
inherently from a probability algorithm, and gives a quantitative quality-measure of the calculated geolocation. It is important to note that the confidence
level is not a direct accuracy measure, and low confidence does not necessarily mean a poor accuracy. Geolocations with a Low confidence level represents
that the call provided few predictors, resulting in a wider area of likely location. This effect is greater in environments where there are large Inter-Site
Distances. For these types of calls, the uncertainty of the geolocation is higher, and is thus provided to the user as being of a lower confidence level. NB-IoT
calls are always set to indicate unknown confidence.
Environment Indicates whether the call was determined to be indoor, mobile or outdoor stationary. Not set for NB-IoT calls.
IMSI International Mobile Subscriber Identity of the UE
IMEI International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of the UE. Type Allocation Code (TAC)-Serial Number (SNR)-Check digit

Roaming Group Service Provider of the UE as determined from the IMSI
Model Model of the UE as determined from the TAC (Type Allocation Code) of the IMEI
Make Make of the UE as determined from the TAC (Type Allocation Code) of the IMEI
Service Type Service Type is set to 'Voice and Data' to indicate the presence of QCI 1 eRAB, otherwise to 'Data Only'.
Trace ID [Huawei, Samsung, ZTE, Ericsson, Nokia, Altiostar] Contains the Cell Trace Recording Reference of the Cell Trace instance upon which the call record is
based. In the case of Samsung, the Trace Recording Session Reference taken from CSL, VSE TA Value, VSE Periodic RF Information, VSE Throughput
Information, or RRC, S1AP or X2AP Trace Information is used as Call ID. In the case of Altiostar, the Trace Id is taken as the complete value of the TRACE_
REFERENCE_ID of the TRACE EVENT HEADER. The least significant two bytes of the TRACE_REFERENCE_ID is coded with the Trace Recording Session
Reference of the cell trace session.
Start m-TMSI MME Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (m-TMSI) from RRC Connection Request or S1 Initial UE Message. In the case of Samsung, when otherwise not
available from 3GPP message events, start m-TMSI may be taken from the CSL.
Start Time Start time for the Call, taken from the timestamp of the earliest Cell Trace event
Duration Duration of the RRC connection, calculated as the sum of the durations of the fragments. For ALU LTE, call duration is the difference between the first start
time and last end time in all fragments. When used in a fragment, the duration is calculated as the difference between the timestamps of the first and last
Cell Trace events received. For Samsung LTE, the duration of a fragment or call is calculated based on the later of the two timestamps, the timestamp of the
last ASN.1 event received or the timestamp of the Disconnection Information of the CSL associated with the fragment or call.
End Time End time for the Call, taken from the timestamp of the last Cell Trace event. In the case of Samsung, the end time of the call or fragment is taken as the later
of the two timestamps, the timestamp of the last ASN.1 event or the timestamp of the Disconnection Information of the CSL.
Start Type Provides information on how the RRC Connection started at the serving cell
End Type Provides information on how the RRC Connection ended at the serving cell

Start Timing For vendors other than Samsung or Altiostar, Start Timing Advance of each fragment is set to the earliest timing advance of the fragment. Start timing
Advance advance of the call is the start timing advance of the first fragment of the call with start timing advance. Not set for NB-IoT calls. [Samsung] For a fragment,
[Meters/Miles] if both periodic MAC and Type 1 timing advance are available, the earliest Type 1 timing advance is taken as start timing advance for the fragment if it is
earlier, or no later than the value of the Type 1 timer advance timer, than the earliest periodic MAC timing advance, or else earliest periodic MAC timing
advance is used as start timing advance; otherwise, if Type 1 timing advance is available, but periodic MAC timing advance is not, then the earliest Type 1
timing advance is taken as start timing advance; otherwise, if periodic MAC timing advance is available, but Type 1 timing advance is not, then the earliest
MAC timing advance is taken as start timing advance; otherwise, if connection timing advance is present in the CSL, then start timing advance is taken as
start timing advance. The start timing advance of the call is take as the start timing advance of the first constituent fragment of the call, and if start timing
advance is N.A. in the first fragment, it will also be N.A. in the call record. The value of the Type 1 timing advance timer is configurable with a default value of
6 seconds. Values of 0 for MAC timing advance or CSL timing advance are converted to 19 meters. [Altiostar] For a fragment, if both periodic MAC and Type
1 timing advance are available, the earliest Type 1 timing advance is taken as start timing advance for the fragment if it is earlier, or no later than the value
of the Type 1 timer advance timer, than the earliest periodic MAC timing advance, or else earliest periodic MAC timing advance is used as start timing
advance; otherwise, if Type 1 timing advance is available, but periodic MAC timing advance is not, then the earliest Type 1 timing advance is taken as start
timing advance; otherwise, if periodic MAC timing advance is available, but Type 1 timing advance is not, then the earliest MAC timing advance is taken as
start timing advance; The start timing advance of the call is take as the start timing advance of the first constituent fragment of the call, and if start timing
advance is N.A. in the first fragment, it will also be N.A. in the call record. The value of the Type 1 timing advance timer is configurable with a default value of
6 seconds. MAC TA of 0 is converted to 19 meters in the case of Altiostar. [Huawei] Start Timing Advance can be read from any of the following events: UE
periodic radio link MR, UE periodic radio link MR MDT, UE Period TA and UE Period TA MDT.

End Timing For vendors other than Samsung or Altiostar, End Timing Advance of a fragment is set to the last timing advance of the fragment. End timing advance of a
Advance call is set to the end timing advance of the last fragment with end timing advance. Not set for NB-IoT calls. [Samsung] In the case of a Samsung fragment, if
[Meters/Miles] Type 1 timing advance (Tadv) and Disconnect CSL timing advance are present in the fragment, end timing advance is set to the last Tadv if it is later than, or
no earlier than the value of the Type 1 timer advance timer from, the Disconnect CSL timing advance, or else end timing advance is taken from Disconnect
CSL timing advance; otherwise, if both Tadv and periodic MAC timing advance are present in the fragment, end timing advance is set to the last Tadv if it is
either later than, or no earlier than the value of the last Type 1 timer advance timer from, the last periodic MAC timing advance, or else is set to the last
periodic MAC timing advance; otherwise, if Disconnect CSL timing advance is present in the fragment, it is taken as end timing advance for the fragment;
otherwise, if Tadv timing advance is present in the fragment, the last Tadv timing advance received is taken as end timing advance; otherwise, if periodic
MAC timing advance is present in the fragment, it is taken as end timing advance for the fragment; otherwise, end timing advance is not set. Values of 0 for
MAC timing advance or CSL timing advance are converted to 19 meters. [Altiostar] If both Tadv and periodic MAC timing advance are present in the
fragment, end timing advance is set to the last Tadv if it is either later than, or no earlier than the value of the Type 1 timer advance timer from the last
periodic MAC timing advance, or else is set to the last periodic MAC timing advance; otherwise, if Tadv timing advance is present in the fragment, the last
Tadv timing advance received is taken as end timing advance; otherwise, if periodic MAC timing advance is present in the fragment, the last timing advance
received is taken as end timing advance for the fragment; otherwise, end timing advance is not set. End timing advance of a call is set to the end timing
advance of the last fragment. Note: Type 1 timing advance (Tadv), Samsung's and Altiostar's implementation of TADV described in TS 36.133, Section 10.3.1
Report mapping, provides 2Ts resolution for timing advance less than or equal to 4096Ts, and 8Ts resolution for timing advance greater than 4096Ts. MAC
timing advance, the timing advance utilized in MAC timing advance commands, is described in TS 36.213, section 4.2.3, and provides 16Ts granularity. The
value of the Type 1 timing advance timer is configurable with a default value of 6 seconds. MAC TA of 0 is converted to 19 meters in the case of Altiostar.
[Huawei] End Timing Advance can be read from any of the following events: UE periodic radio link MR, UE periodic radio link MR MDT, UE Period TA and UE
Period TA MDT.
Start Timing Cell Id or cell name of the first timing advance cell. This will generally be equal to the start cell, but when the earliest timing advance comes from a cell other
Advance Cell than the start cell, the start timing advance cell will differ. Not set for NB-IoT calls.
End Timing Cell Id or cell name of the last timing advance cell. This will generally be equal to the end cell, but when the last timing advance comes from a cell other than
Advance Cell the end cell, the end timing advance cell will differ. Not set for NB-IoT calls.
UE Category Downlink UE Category includes values for WB-E-UTRAN and NB-IoT. When more than one UE Category is available, a prioritization rule is defined which
prioritizes the most recently defined UE Categories over older UE Categories. When Downlink UE Category is not available for a WB-E-UTRAN call, the pre-
Release 12 UE Category is used to determine the UE Category. For an NB-IoT call, the UE Category indicates NB2 if indication of NB2 is received, or NB1 if
NB1 is indicated but NB2 is not, or is not set if neither indication is received. In the case of Samsung only, when UE Category is not available from standard
3GPP signaling, UE Category may be taken from the DL Category of the CSL. In the case of Alcatel-Lucent PCMD, UE Category is derived from the 'UE
Category' (field number 223) of the PCMD rather than from 3GPP signaling. In the case of Ericsson only, when UE Category is not available from standard
3GPP signaling, UE Category may be derived from EVENT_PARAM_UE_CATEGORY_FLEX of the INTERNAL_PROC_UE_CTXT_RELEASE event.

VoLTE RTP Gap [Samsung] A VoLTE no RTP gap indication is indicated if a received CSL indicates that a PDCP or MAC uplink or downlink gap between RTP packets has been
detected over a QCI#1 radio bearer. No RTP gaps are determined from the MAC_UP_NO_RTP, MAC_DL_NO_RTP, PDCP_UL_NO_RTP and PDCP_DL_NO_RTP
fields of the Call Debugging Information of the CSLs associated with the call. A no RTP gap is detected within the PDCP layer when uplink or downlink traffic
for a QCI#1 radio bearer is not detected for the period of the Samsung noRtpTimer. A no RTP is detected within the MAC layer if scheduling is not executed
for a downlink or uplink section of a QCI#1 radio bearer within expected time limit when RTP packets are waiting to be transmitted.
VoLTE One Way [Samsung] A VoLTE one-way audio warning is indicated when either of the RLC uplink or downlink no-packet delay exceeds the no-packet delay threshold set
Audio Warning by IRIS, or when either the RLC uplink or downlink zero-BO count exceeds the zero-BO count threshold set by IRIS. The RLC no-packet delay is taken from the
RLC_UL_NO_PACKET_DELAY of CSL Call Debugging Information for the uplink and from the RLC_DL_NO_PACKET_DELAY of CSL Call Debugging Information
for the downlink. No-packet delay counts measure the number of TTIs from setup of a QCI#1 bearer until the reception of the first packet. RLC zero-BO
counts are taken from the RLC_UL_ZERO_BO_CNT of CSL Call Debugging Information for the uplink and from the RLC_DL_ZERO_BO_CNT of CSL Call
Debugging Information for the downlink. The zero-BO count is the number of times that BO is zero for a QCI#1 radio bearer in the indicated direction for a
duration greater than that of the noRtpTimer.
VoLTE [Samsung] VoLTE scheduling error indicates that the RLC downlink no scheduling count for at least one CSL exceeds the threshold set by IRIS. The VoLTE
Scheduling Error downlink no scheduling count is read from the CSL RLC_DL_NO_SCHEDULING field of the CSL Call Debugging Information. The VoLTE downlink no scheduling
count indicates the number of times that downlink BO is present for a QCI#1 radio bearer for a duration longer than that allowed by the noRtpTimer.
VoLTE ROHC [Samsung] VoLTE ROHC error indicates that the VoLTE ROHC decompression error count exceeds the threshold set in IRIS in at least one CSL associated

B TrueCall LSR Data Types


The following provides a description of the data types listed in this document:

string
A string consists of a sequence of ASCII coded characters.

The strings for “Start GUMMEI” and “End GUMMEI” consist of 4 period-separated integers which
indicate, from left to right, the following: MCC, MNC, MME Group ID, and MME Code. In the
following example, the MCC is 405, the MNC is 874, the MME Group ID is 32771, and the MME Code
is 7 :

405.874.32771.007

The string for “Global ID” is formatted as a hexadecimal string. An example is shown below:

7aa5a16ef55bb27f7e643d24f22624f7a207d500

double
A double consists of an IEEE 754 double-precision binary floating-point format: binary64. It consists
of a sign (1 bit), an exponent (11 bits), and a fraction (52 bits). LSR displays a double of a sequence of
ASCII coded. It may be expressed as a sequence of digits, followed by an optional period, which, if
included, will be followed with an additional sequence of digits. This may be followed with an
exponent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating-point_format

int64
A sequence of digits which may be preceded with a negative sign.

UMTS P-TMSI and TMSI are expressed in hexadecimal as shown below:

dae80c05

time
A time is an ASCII string which represents the date, i.e., month (M), day (D), and year (Y) together with
a time, which consists of an hour (h) and minute (m). It is formatted as follows:

MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm

Examples are shown below for June 6, 2019 9 AM and December 12, 1999 at 11:50 PM:

6/6/2019 9:00

12/12/1999 23:59

duration
A duration is an ASCII string which represents a time interval, and comes in four formats:

1. second(s) with one millisecond precision and formatted as follows for durations of less than 1
minute: 00:ss.zzz
2. minutes and seconds with 1 second precision formatted as follows: mm:ss
3. hours, minutes, and seconds with 1 second precision formatted as follows: h:mm:ss
4. zero seconds is formatted as follows: 00:00

Examples are shown below for each case:

1. 10010 milliseconds: 00:10.010


2. 5 minutes, 10010 milliseconds: 05:10
3. 3 hours, 10 minutes, 2500 milliseconds: 3:10:03
4. Zero milliseconds 00:00

bool
A bool data type is displayed as ASCII code “TRUE” or “FALSE.”

float
The float data type is used in LTE in place of “double” when the Permission is set to “5G NSA.” It has
represents the same data type as “double.”
