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 2013, 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, NSN 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).
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 2013 utilizes the Performance Call History Recording (PCHR) data from the call history recording to help users to perform further analysis.
Nokia Siemens Network (MEGAMON)

Megamon is the traffic measurement recording found in Nokia Siemens Network (NSN) networks. Xeus Pro 2013 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.
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 2013 helps users to analyze calls, events, and cells using LTE data. It currently supports recordings from Ericsson LTE networks only.
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 2013 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.
Huawei LTE Call Trace (BETA)

Huawei LTE Call Trace is another new module recently introduced in Xeus Pro 2013. 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 2013 helps users analyze calls, events, cells or phone models for using these data for LTE networks. Xeus Pro 2013 supports SIGLOG file format known as .sig or .dat or .zip.

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 2013 help file found after downloading Xeus Pro 2013 into your pc for the full list of XIF format description. XIF Parameter CellId Description The unique Cell Identity/Name of the cell e.g. G1001A. Note: Xeus Pro does not accept two records with SAME Cell Id. Any duplicate cell Id will be renamed with additional suffix e.g. G1001A_1. Mandatory field SiteId The Site Id of the cell e.g. D1001. Note: Site Id will be displayed as label for cell in the map Longitude Longitude of the cell in Float format e.g. -121.23328. Mandatory field Latitude Latitude of the cell in Float format e.g. 30.12312. Mandatory field AntDir Direction of the cell in Degree unit Mandatory field RncId RNC Identity Note: RncId-Cid pair allows matching of WCDMA Cell network data to the site data in Xeus Pro database CId WCDMA Cell Identity Note: RncId-Cid pair allows matching of WCDMA Cell network data to the site data in Xeus Pro database
43
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
44
RAN R12 & R13 BSC0121_[PCHR]02Log20111010231746(DST)_20111010232743(DST).log.zip
Important: For R11 and above, please ensure that the file name ha UCHR or PCHR. File with CHR string alone does contain the performance call log and not supported in Xeus Pro.
3.2 Enable the CHRs Field
If one of the fields is not enabled in the CHRs, use the following command to enable it: 1. In the LMT tool, execute the command SET CHRRNCCTRL (R10) or SET UCHRCTRL (R11) in the Command Input field. 2. Click the SELECT ALL check box in the Type option drop down lists. 3. Run the command through a batch file only:
