INTRODUCTION
Traffic Measurement Recordings Modules are available on most major vendors OSS system. This means that
each vendor will have their own recording function that might vary from one vendor to another. This extremely
powerful data source consists of detailed event and measurement data of a significant portion of your users live
traffic. By running selected optimization tasks in Xeus Pro 5, optimization engineers can drill down quickly to
optimize known areas with quality issues, and analyze the recording results to pin-point parts of the network
these issues are coming from.
Xeus Pro has extensive analytics and diagnostics capabilities which allow optimization professionals to leverage
on this rich customer experience data to troubleshoot and optimize the network better especially in areas
where quality issues are hard to replicate via traditional drive-test methods. TMR Modules in Xeus Pro currently
collectively consist of the Ericsson GPEH & LTE Call Trace, Huawei PCHR & LTE Call Trace, Nokia Megamon, and
ZTE WCDMA & WCDMA LTE (CTS).
Ericsson General Performance Event Handling (GPEH)

Ericsson General Performance Event Handling (GPEH) is the traffic measurement recording found on Ericsson
WCDMA networks. This performance recording function consists of two types of recording, User Equipment
Traffic Recording (UETR) and Cell Traffic Recording (CTR).
Ericsson Long Term Evolution (LTE) Call Trace

Ericsson Long Term Evolution (LTE) Call Trace is a Performance Recording function that supports Ericsson LTE
files. Xeus Pro 5 helps users to analyze calls, events, and cells using LTE data. It currently supports recordings
from Ericsson LTE networks only.
Xeus Pro 5 is now able to provide IMSI information to the called logged in the LTE Call Trace by parsing it
together with MME EBM Trace where both file sets need to have matching time frame.
Huawei Call History Recording (CHR)

Call History Recording (CHR) is the traffic measurement recording found on Huawei networks. This trace logging
feature is available in both Huawei RNC and NodeB networks. Xeus Pro 5 utilizes the Performance Call History
Recording (PCHR) data from the call history recording to help users to perform further analysis.
Huawei LTE Call Trace

Huawei LTE Call Trace is another new module recently introduced in Xeus Pro 5. Huawei LTE Call Trace is live
traffic recording data's which contains vital information such as call messages, collected from the eNodeB Call
Trace in its LTE network. It contains external protocol messages; e.g. LTE RRC, S1 or NASEPS and comprehensive
details of the internal messages. Xeus Pro 5 helps users analyze calls, events, cells or phone models for using
these data for LTE networks. Xeus Pro 5 supports SIGLOG file format known as .sig or .dat or .zip.
Nokia Siemens Network (MEGAMON)

Megamon is the traffic measurement recording from Nokia. Xeus Pro 5 helps users utilize the collected
Megamon data such as cell information, radio measurements and call messages to perform further analysis on
calls, events, cells, phone models & user IMSI.
ZTE Call Trace System (CTS)

ZTE Call Trace System (CTS) is a Performance Recording function that support CTS files. It is an IMSI trace similar
to Ericssons UETR. It contains external protocol e.g. RRC, NBAP, or RANAP and internal message with details.
Xeus Pro 5 helps users to analyze calls, events, cells or phone models using ZTE CTS data. It currently supports
recordings from ZTE WCDMA and WCDMA LTE networks only.

Appendix 2: PRE-REQUISITE FOR CHR ANALYSIS

1. Site Data
There is no site information in Huawei WCDMA printout. Therefore, user has to import the XIF/TEMS
Cel-file/ MCOM file first before you can import the Huawei WCDMA CFGMML print out.
Table 1 below shows some of the mandatory fields required when creating a XIF format site data. Please
refer to the Xeus Pro 5 help file found after downloading Xeus Pro 5 into your pc for the full list of XIF
format description.
XIF Parameter

2. RNC Network Dump

Use EXP CFGMML command to export the MML scripts of the configuration data into the BAM folder
3. CHR Log
3.1 CHRs File Path
The CHRs are generated automatically and stored under the BAM in the following path:
-
RNC R10 /bam/versiona/loaddata/famlogfmt for R10
RAN R11 /bam/common/fam/famlogfmt
RAN R12 & R13 /bam/common/fam/famlogfmt/pchr
The PCHR log will have either UCHR or PCHR word in the filenames e.g.
-
RNC R10 RNC0101_02Log20110404000002_20110404010109.log.zip
RAN R11 BSC0121_[UCHR]02Log20111010231746(DST)_20111010232743(DST).log.zip
