List of Traffic Data Volumes

Traffic Data Volume | Category | Description
--- | --- | ---

It includes the number of octets received in the uplink direction during the timeframe specified by the container. For each new container, the counter is reset and does not accumulate. The data counted already includes the IP PDP bearer protocols i.e. IP or PPP.
Data volume GPRS Downlink | M | The Data Volume GPRS Downlink field is a part of the ChangeOfCharCondition element in the List of Traffic Volumes. It includes the number of octets transmitted in the downlink direction during the timeframe specified by the container. For each new container, the counter is reset and does not accumulate. The data counted already includes the IP PDP bearer protocols i.e. IP or PPP.
Change Condition | M | The Change Condition field is part of the ChangeOfCharCondition element in the List of Traffic Volumes. It defines the reason for closing the container.
Change time | M | The Change Time field is part of the ChangeOfCharCondition element in the List of Traffic Volumes. It provides the local time when a change condition (e.g. record closure) occurred and the container was closed.
User Location Information | OC | This field contains the User Location Information as described in TS 29.274 for eGTP case (e.g. CGI, SAI, RAI TAI and ECGI). The field is provided by the SGSN/MME and transferred to the S-GW/P-GW during the IP-CAN bearer activation/modification. User Location Information contains the location (e.g. CGI/SAI, ECGI/TAI or RAI) where the UE is located and used during the transfer of the data volume captured by the container (applicable only to the SGW-CDR). This is included in the Traffic data container only if previous container's change condition is “user location change”. Note the user location information in SGW-CDR main level contains the location where the UE was when CDR was opened.
EPC Qos Requested | OC | In case of IP-CAN bearer specific container this contains authorized QoS for the IP-CAN bearer. First container for each QCI/ARP pair includes this field. In following containers this field is present if previous change condition is “QoS change”. This field is applicable only in SGW-CDR.
