 Mediation Integrated Customization Environment
(MICE)

 Flow customization
 Support drop-drag customization
 What you see, what you get

 Rule customization
 Define rule for CDR combination, duplicate CDR elimination, CDR verification,
CDR distribution, CDR format conversion…
 Syntax like C language, support, if, while, function, global variable, CDR, map,
array, in, =, - >= …

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 12

 MICE
 Decoding customization
 Decode the CDRs in various formats, such as ASN.1 CDR, fixed-length text
CDR, binary CDR, variable-length text CDR, AMA, keyword
 Import the ASN.1 CDR files to generate the decoding tree
 Support the graphic customization interface to facilitate to set the decoding
rules of the CDR files and map the parsed fields of the CDRs to the middle
format CDRs
 Encoding customization
