P-CDR Field Reference Tables

P-CDR Field Reference Tables
 
This chapter provides reference tables for the CDR fields reported as part of P-GW CDRs (P-CDRs) generated by the system.
A complete list of supported CDR fields is provided in the P-CDR Field Descriptions chapter of this reference guide.
The specific CDRs reported in P-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 P-CDRs for the GTPP dictionaries.
note_smallImportant: For more information on custom dictionaries, contact your local service representative.
The category column in all tables use keys described in the following table.

Notes:
•
For custom40 dictionary, the following specifications are recommended:
•
Diagnostics field is mandated to be present in the final P-CDRs.
•
managementIntervention is not set as the cause for record closing (CauseForRecordClosing).
•
Duration of P-CDRs will be calculated first and then round-off mechanism will be applied.
•
“Service Identifier” sub-field will not be included in List of Service Data Volume (LOSDV) containers.
•
In the case of custom40 GTPP dictionary, the following two values are also supported for the P-CDR field “Charging Characteristics Selection Mode” in addition to the standard values as in the custom24 GTPP dictionary.
•
AAASupplied (6)
•
GWOverride (7)
•
custom42: This customer-specific file format contains P-CDRs that are encoded in ASCII format.
•
For custom42 dictionary, Record Sequence Number is 12 byte ASCII value and last 2 bytes will always be zero.
•
In the case of custom42 dictionary, P-CDR is closed as the final record of a subscriber session for the following events:
•
Detach Request received from UE
•
Delete bearer context request received from SGW.
•
Manual subscriber clearing
•
Abnormal Releases such as path failures
