A.2 Call Attribute / LSR Field: Descriptions and Units


The following Call Attributes and LSR Fields are available in Common UMTS:

Note: All fields present in the Call Table are also present in the Fragment table.

Refer to TrueCall LSR Data Types for descriptions of each available data type.

Refer to Common UMTS Enumerated Values to see the enumerated values when LSR Unit is shown as "enum."

Datatype Units
Vendor All string enum N/A Vendor associated with the stream used to populate the call record.
End Latitude All double degrees 90.000000..-90.000000 End latitude of call determined by Geolocation Engine
[degrees]
End Longitude All double degrees 180.000000..-180.000000 End longitude of call determined by Geolocation Engine
[degrees]
Confidence All string enum N/A TrueCall provides three 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. 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.
Environment All string enum N/A Indicates the indoor/outdoor and mobile/stationary categorization of the
call by TrueCall.

End Longitude End longitude of call determined by Geolocation Engine
[degrees]
Confidence TrueCall provides three 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. 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.
Environment Indicates the indoor/outdoor and mobile/stationary categorization of the call by TrueCall.

Attribute Description
Fragment Fragment Trigger specifies the trigger event that closed the fragment. 'Terminal Fragment' indicates the last fragment of the call.
Trigger 'Enter cell-DCH' indicates a fragment closed when the UE transitions to RRC state cell-DCH. 'Tracking Cell Change' indicates a
fragment closed when a new cell-DCH tracking cell is selected because the prior tracking cell has been removed from the active
set. The tracking cell is preferentially selected in the following order from among active set cells: the last HS-DSCH serving cell, the
lastE-DCH serving cell, the cell in the active set with the best RSCP measurement in the last RSCP measurement report, or selected
from the remaining members of the active set. 'PSC Reconfiguration' indicates a fragment closed when a UE in cell-DCH state is
reconfigured to a cell not previously in the active set. 'PSC Reconfiguration' can be considered a proxy for a hard handover event.
'Carrier Frequency Change' indicates a change is the carrier frequency of the best serving cell of the connection. 'Serving Cell
Change' indicates a change in the serving cell when the call is in RRC state cell-FACH, cell-PCH or URA-PCH. Fragment Trigger is set
to fragments but not to the call table.
Trigger Count The Trigger Count indicates the number of trigger events received during the fragment that were not acted upon because the
minimum fragment duration threshold was not met. The Trigger Count is only relevant to the Fragment Viewer, and will be 'N/A'
when no event triggers were suppressed during the fragment.
Start Type Indicates one of Connection Request, Cell Update, URA Update, IRAT Handover, Relocation or Unknown as the call start type.
Final Final Disposition of session as determined from the state machine.
Disposition
Service Type Service Type displays the traffic type as determined from RANAP RAB establishment attempts in CS and PS domains, or if no RABs
are established, then SMS will be displayed if SMS traffic is carried over the connection, and if neither PS nor CS RAB establishment
is attempted, and no SMS traffic is carried over the connection, then the Service Type is displayed as 'Others.'
Data Use Data use is calculated by tracking the time over which at least one PS RAB is in the Assigned state during the fragment or call.
Voice Use Voice use is calculated by tracking the time over which at least one CS RAB is in the Assigned state during the fragment or call.
Start RNC ID RNC ID of the Start Cell, either the initial cell after an incoming relocation or the cell at which RRC Connection Establishment occurs.

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.”
