Chapter: S-GW Event Reporting

S-GW Event Reporting

This chapter describes the record content and trigger mechanisms for S-GW event reporting. When enabled the S-GW writes a record of session events and sends the resulting event files to an external file server for processing. Each event is sent to the server within 60 seconds of its occurrence.

This chapter includes the following topics:

Event Record Triggers

When properly configured, the S-GW creates and sends a record in CSV format as the session events listed below occur.

  • ID 1: Session Creation
  • ID 2: Session Deletion
  • ID 3: Bearer Creation
  • ID 4: Bearer Deletion
  • ID 5: Bearer Modification
    • suppress intra-system handover
    • configurable enable active to idle transition event reporting
  • ID 6: Bearer Update

The following guidelines apply to the above session events:

  • A session refers to a PDN connection and the default bearer associated with it.
  • Bearer events refer to dedicated bearers that have been created/deleted/updated/modified.
  • Bearer modifications that are intra-S-GW and intra-MME are not be reported.
  • Bearers and sessions that fail to setup are reported once in a session/bearer creation record with the result code set to failure.

Event Record Elements

Each event record includes the information documented in the table below in comma separated value (CSV) ASCII format. The elements are listed in the order in which they will appear. All record elements are not available for all event triggers. If a record element cannot be populated due to incomplete information, the element is omitted and the comma separation maintained.

The following guidelines apply to record elements:

  • Byte/packet counters shall not be sent in session or bearer creation messages
  • Byte/packet counters include packets and bytes sent or received since the last record created for that session or bearer.
  • The S-GW will attempt to populate all record elements. Values that are unavailable will not be populated.

Active-to-Idle Transitions

This table below describes how active-to-idle transitions generate event records.

Table 2. Subscriber-initiated Attach (initial) Call Flow Description

Step

Description

1

UE becomes Active (via UE or NW initiated service request)

2

Session becomes idle.

3

S-GW acknowledges idle session.

4

Bearer modification event record is created, with the following fields:

  • Start Time: Use the start time of the idle-to-active transition

  • End Time: Use the timestamp of the idle time

  • Bytes up/Bytes down: Amount of data sent between transitions

  • Packets up/Packets down: Number of packets sent between transitions
