1 Introduction to CHR Standard Signalling Northbound Data Export

About This Chapter

With mobile operators embarking on building their own radio network optimization platform,

it is required that equipment manufacturers provide the call history record (CHR) data for

network analysis.

The Nastar provides the northbound CHR data (created during one call) of RAN13 and earlier

versions. As the northbound CHR data depends on NE logs, it has the following

shortcomings:

Multiple radio access bearers (RABs) are not supported. Multiple RABs is common for

the smart terminal.

The switch information is incomplete. Only two switches are recorded during one call.

The data timeliness is poor. Data is recorded and reported only after a call ends.

Data is not standard. The data is recorded in the NE proprietary log. The extracted

information element (IE) content and recording format vary according to the NE version.

Due to the preceding problems, the original northbound CHR data cannot meet the customer's

requirement for network analysis. Therefore, the CHR content and format are redesigned in

RAN14 or later.

For the Huawei RAN14, the Nastar takes the CHR open standard signaling as the northbound

data source and provides rich standard message types to meet the customization requirement

of operators. In addition, the Nastar will provide more standard, efficient, and dependable

interfaces with better compatibility.

Table 1-1 describes each functional unit in the networking architecture diagram.

Table 1-1 Description of each functional unit in the networking architecture diagram

Functional Unit Description

Nastar The Nastar system is used to locate and analyze the quality

problems of wireless networks. This system supports

multi-user operations and multiple performance analysis.

Therefore, the system serves as a fundamental support

platform for further analysis of wireless networks and problem

location.

eSAU Is a data summarization unit and a mandatory component of

the Nastar system. The unit is deployed on the OSS side as a

ATAE-based or HP PC server, summarizes the analysis data

preprocessed by the SAU, and exports the summarized CHR

data to the Nastar server.

During the northbound data export process, the eSAU

receives, summarizes the data, and then compresses and stores

the data.

M2000 Is a uniform management platform of Huawei mobile

networks. It manages the mobile NEs manufactured by

Huawei. The M2000 provides performance data and

configuration data for the Nastar system.

During the northbound data export process, the M2000

provides the relay function for commands and data.

SAU The service aware unit (SAU) is an optional component of the

Nastar system. The SAU is installed on the base station

controller (BSC) as the board, such as SAUc, and

preprocesses the raw data from NEs as required by the Nastar

system for analysis.

During the northbound data export process, the SAU

preprocesses the data collected from the RNC and upload the

data to the eSAU.

1.2 Working Principles of Data Export

This section describes the working principles for the Nastar system to export CHR Standard

Signalling Northbound Data in the direct and relay-based networking schemes.

The Nastar system provides two networking schemes to meet operators' different

requirements: direct networking and relay-based networking. Operators select the networking

scheme as required.

In the direct networking scheme, the eSAU directly obtains analysis data from NEs,

which reduces the impact on the performance of M2000 servers.

In the relay-based networking scheme, the eSAU must obtain analysis data from NEs

through the M2000. The M2000 functions as a relay server between the eSAU and NEs,

which enhances NEs' data security.

The Nastar exports CHR data by means of source code streams which carry information of the standard

signaling messages collected from NEs. This not only enriches the content exported but also improves

the timeliness of data transmission. In addition, for the same number of NEs originally managed by the

earlier version of Nastar, the Nastar raises higher requirements on bandwidth and storage overheads

because the content of code streams is much more than that of key IEs processed on the device side.

Therefore, customers are advised to obtain data by a smaller frequency and parse the data in real time in

order to reduce the pressure for the Nastar server to store data and the pressure for third-party tools to

analyze data.

By default, the space specification provided by the eSAU is 200 GB. Operators can

configure it as required.

When the data stored by the eSAU exceeds any specification (time or space), the system

deletes the data automatically.

Automatic Data Deletion Mechanism

The system checks the data once upon the system startup and every hour later.

The system checks whether the northbound data files expire by time and exceed the

specified size by space.

If the files expire or exceed the specified size, the system deletes them. The files are

deleted in the sequence of their generation time, and the earliest file is deleted first.

Procedure

Step 1 Choose Maintenance > Data Maintenance Management.

Step 2 Select the data node (for example, UMTS CHR Customized Northbound Data) of which

the time specification needs to be modified from the navigation tree in the left pane, and then

select Delete Data in the right pane.

Step 3 Enter the number of data storage days (a maximum of seven days) in Storage Period Setting

(Days) and click Storage Period Setting.

The system compares the files creation time, the number of data storage days, and the current

time to check whether the files expire.

Step 4 Click Immediately Maintain Data.

8.2 Contents of the CHR Standard Signalling Northbound Data File

This section describes the contents of the CHR Standard Signalling Northbound Data source

file. You can refer to this section when parsing the CHR Standard Signalling Northbound Data

file.

Currently the content that is collected from the RAN14 of NE and then transmitted over the

northbound interface includes only one type of events, standard signaling events (EventID=0).

The number of MIs exported for one event of this type is 9. When the file content is being

parsed, the message type of each event is identified based on MsgType (MIID=0x1004), and

the content of key IEs contained in the message is obtained based on MsgContent

(MIID=0x1006). The message content is source code streams encoded by using ASN1, and

includes all the MU and MI fields (which are derived from standard protocols) for the internal

CHRs collected from the RAN12 or RAN13 of NEs.

The following table lists all the MIs.

Table 8-2 MI field description

MI Name

MI ID Type Length Description

ConnSetu

pTime 0x0001 6 8

Time when the signaling connection is

set up.

SrncIdent

ity 0x0002 0 2

Temporary radio network identity of the

user equipment (UE) under its serving

radio network controller (SRNC).

Srnti 0x0003 0 4 Temporary serving radio network

identity of the UE.

MsgRecv

Time 0x1001 6 8

Time when the radio network controller

(RNC) receives the message and starts

decoding the message by using the

ASN1.

MsgItfTy

4-to NODEB, 5-from NODEB, 6-to UE,

7-from UE, 8-to SAS, and 9-from SAS.

MsgType 0x1004 0 2

Type of the message. The value of

MsgType is unique for one interface and

is consistent with the value that the

ASN1 defines for each standard

interface. For details about the mapping

between the Key value and message

type, see Table 8-4.

MsgLeng

th 0x1005 0 2

Length of the message before being

decoded by using the ASN1.

MsgCont

Remarks

1. Each event contains three MI fields, including ConnSetupTime, SrncIdentity, and Srnti,

and these fields are used for combining events during one call into an event.

2. The following table describes the MI data type.

Table 8-3 MI data type
