G-CDR and Enhanced G-CDR Field Reference Tables

 

 

This chapter provides reference tables for the CDR fields reported as part of GGSN-CDRs (G-CDRs) and enhanced G-CDRs (eG-CDRs) generated by the system.

A complete list of supported CDR fields is provided in the G-CDR and Enhanced G-CDR Field Descriptions chapter of this reference guide.

The specific CDRs reported in G-CDRs/eG-CDRs and their encoding are user-selectable via GTPP dictionaries. The use of GTPP dictionaries is configurable using the gtpp dictionary command in the Context Configuration Mode of the system’s Command Line Interface (CLI).

This section provides information on the fields reported in G-CDRs/eG-CDRs for the GTPP dictionaries.

Important: For more information on custom dictionaries, contact your local service representative.

The category column in all tables use keys described in the following table.

custom 33 Dictionary

Enhanced G-CDR fields based on 3GPP TS 32.298 V6.5.0 (R6).

Field	Category	Description
Record Type	M	This field identifies the type of the record.
Network initiated PDP context	O	This field indicates that the PDP context was network initiated. The field is missing in case of mobile activated PDP context. Set to TRUE (0xFF) if PDP context was initiated from network side.
Served IMSI	M	This field contains IMSI of the served party (if Anonymous Access Indicator is FALSE or not supplied).
GGSN Address	M	This field provides the current serving GGSN IP address for the Control Plane. The standard 32.298 offers a choice for the encoding of the address to be either in binary or text format. The GGSN encodes the address in binary format. Indefinite length encoding is used for this field.
Charging ID	M	This field is a charging identifier, which can be used together with the GGSN address to identify all records produced in the GGSN involved in a single PDP context. The Charging ID is generated by the GGSN at PDP context activation and is transferred to the context requesting SGSN. At an inter-SGSN routing area update the charging ID is transferred to the new SGSN as part of each active PDP context.
List of SGSN Addresses	M	List of SGSN addresses used during this record. This field contains 1–5 SGSN IP addresses (max. 4 SGSN changes). A CDR is closed as a partial with Cause for Record Closing set to SGSN Change when the maximum number of changes has been recorded. Subsequent SGSN changes will be listed in the next partial. Indefinite length encoding is used for this field.
Access Point Name Network Identifier	M	This field contain the Network Identifier part of the Access Point Name (APN). It is provided by the SGSN in the Create PDP Context Request message. In case of a configured virtual APN, the virtual APN is included instead, unless this is overridden by the CLI command “gcdr apn-name-to-be-included {gn | virtual}”
PDP Type	M	This field identifies the PDP type, i.e. IP, PPP, or IHOSS:OSP
Served PDP Address	O	This field contains the PDP address of the served IMSI, for which the standard 3GPP TS 32.298 allows a choice of either IP address or ETSIAddress. Indefinite length encoding is used for this field.
Dynamic Address Flag	O	This field indicates that the PDP address has been dynamically allocated for that particular PDP context. This field is missing if address is static i.e. part of PDP context subscription.
Record Opening Time	M	This field contains the time stamp when PDP context is activated in GGSN or when a subsequent record is opened after a partial record.
Duration	M	This field contains the relevant duration in seconds for PDP contexts with range of 0...4294967295 (2^32-1). It is the duration from Record Opening Time to record closure. For partial records this is the duration of the individual partial record and not the cumulative duration.
Cause for Record Closing	M	This field contains a reason for the release of record from this GGSN.
Record Sequence Number	O	This field contains a running sequence number with range 1...4294967295 used to link partial records generated by the GGSN for a specific PDP context (characterized with the same Charging ID and GGSN address pair). This field is always present in this case.
Node ID	M	This field contains an identifier string for the node that had generated the CDR.
Local Record Sequence Number	M	For each Node ID, this number with range 1...4294967295 is allocated sequentially for each CDR. This along with a Node ID uniquely identifies a CDR.
APN Selection Mode	M	An index indicating how the APN was selected.
Served MSISDN	M	The field tracks the Mobile Station (MS) ISDN number (MSISDN) of the subscriber which is a part of Create PDP Context Request message.
Charging Characteristics	M	Lists the charging characteristics applied to the PDP context.The GGSN can accept charging characteristics from the SGSN or AAA or use its own configured value. GGSN configured charging characteristics are specified as part of the GGSN Service and are applied for G-CDRs to subscriber PDP contexts through APN templates.
Charging Characteristics Selection Mode	O	The charging characteristic type that the GGSN applied to the CDR.
SGSN PLMN Identifier	O	RAI (optionally supplied by SGSN in the GTP create PDP context request) is used as SGSN PLMN Identifier value. It is omitted if the SGSN does not supply the RAI and is not identified as a “home” SGSN. For home SGSNs without the RAI a locally configured PLMN-ID can be sent instead.
Served IMEISV	O	The International Mobile Equipment Identity and Software Version Number (IMEISV) of the MS, if available.
RAT Type	O	This field indicates the Radio Access Technology (RAT) type currently used by the Mobile Station as defined in TS 29.060. The field is present in the CDR if provided by SGSN.
MS Time Zone	O	The “Time Zone” IE that the SGSN may provide to the GGSN during the PDP context activation/modification procedure.
User Location Information	O	The User Location Information for the MS if provided by the SGSN to the GGSN during the PDP context activation/modification procedure. Transparently copied from the PDP context request
List of Service Data Volumes	O	A list of the changes that occurred in charging conditions for all service data flows for the PDP context. Indefinite length encoding is used for this field.

‌

Notes:

 

•	For custom33 dictionary, eG-CDR will always have LOSDV even if no data has been passed for the entire life time of the call.

 

List of Service Data Volumes

List of Service Data Volumes
Service Data Volume Block	O	A list of the changes that occurred in charging conditions for all service data flows for the PDP context. Indefinite length encoding is used for this field.
Rating group	M	This is the service flow identity and has to be used for differentiated evaluation of user’s traffic. Also known as content-id. Default: 403
Result Code	O	The result code AVP contains the result code after the interconnection with the Diameter server. The diameter server sends result-codes for each of the content-id for which quota is requested. The GGSN use this to populate the eG-CDR bucket. This is a mandatory AVP that comes in response for every quota request for a category. Default: 0
Local Sequence number	M	A per service data container sequence number. It starts from 1 for each service, increasing by 1 for each service date container generated for that service within the lifetime of this PDP session. Default: Same as "localRecordSequenceNumber" field of main CDR.
Time of first usage	M	The time stamp for the first IP packet to be transmitted for the service data flow referred to the current instance of Service Condition Change. Default: Same as "Record Opening Time" field of main CDR.
Time of last usage	M	The time stamp for the last IP packet to be transmitted for the service data flow referred to the current instance of Service Condition Change. Default: Same as "Record Opening Time" field of main CDR.
Usage time	M	The difference, in seconds with range 0...4294967295, between “time of first usage” and “time of last usage”. Default: 0
Service condition change	M	The reason for closing the service data container for triggers like SGSN change, QoS change, RAT change, time and volume triggers, etc. Default: Value 4 to be encoded as per 3GPP format. 4 denotes "PDPContextRelease" or normal termination.
QoS negotiated	O	The negotiated QoS applied for the service data flow. Default: Negotiated QoS for the PDP context.
sgsn-Address	M	The valid SGSN IP address during the service data recording interval. Default: Same as “sgsn-address” field of main CDR.
SGSN PLMN identifier	O	RAI (optionally supplied by SGSN in the GTP create PDP context request) is used as SGSN PLMN Identifier value. It is omitted if the SGSN does not supply the RAI and is not identified as a “home” SGSN. For home SGSNs without the RAI a locally configured PLMN-ID can be sent instead. Default: Same as “sgsnPLMNIdentifier” field of main CDR.
FBC Data volume uplink	M	The number of octets transmitted during the use of the packet data services in the uplink direction. Default: 0
FBC data volume downlink	M	The number of octets transmitted during the use of the packet data services in the downlink direction. Default: 0
Time of report	M	A time stamp defining the moment when the service data container is closed. Default: Same as "Record Opening Time" field of main CDR.
RAT Type	O	The valid RAT type during the service data recording interval. Default: Same as “RAT Type" field of main CDR.
Failurehandling Continue	O	A Boolean expression included if the failure handling condition has been executed. This can be either configured on the GGSN using the failure-handling CLI command in the credit-control mode or can be received from the server in the Credit-Control-Failure-Handling AVP. Whichever is received from the server will have higher precedence. There is no negotiation with the Diameter server in this regard and the GGSN will use whatever the server provides.
Service Identifier	O	The service identifier may designate an end user service, a part of an end user service or an arbitrarily formed group thereof. Content-id and service-id are used as unique key to identify FBC Bucket.
