2.1 Operations for TC Recording on the BSC6000
Configuration of TC Recording on the LMT
Function introduction: With this function, the TC can record the calls initiated by a
maximum of four specified MSs (two calling MSs and two called MSs, the four MSs
cannot be distributed on the same DSP) in real time and save the recorded data to the
specified place of the GBAM.
Operations
A. Configure the authorization code.
If the BSC version is BSC6000V900R008C12SP15 or a later version, the recording
configuration parameters can be displayed on the LMT only after you enter the
authorization code. If the BSC version is earlier than the BSC6000V900R008C12SP15,

perform step B.
The method for entering the authorization code is as follows:
1. Obtain the authorization code.
Field engineers are responsible for sending the configuration data of the BSC to be
recorded to the R&D personnel. The R&D personnel are responsible for providing the
authorization code to field engineers. The format of the authorization code is as follows:
gQAA8wAACv0JCAAA.
2. Enter the authorization code.
Write the authorization code on a piece of paper. Note that the authorization code is
case-sensitive.
On the local maintenance terminal (LMT), choose System > System Configuration.
A dialog box is then displayed, as shown in the following figure.
Press Ctrl+Shift+F12. In this case, no change occurs on the dialog box. Then, type the
authorization code as written on the paper and ensure that every letter is entered
correctly. Pay special attention to the differences between 0 and O and differences
between 1, i, and l. Then, click Yes in the displayed box (the box may not be displayed in
some scenarios). Then, the System Configuration dialog box disappears automatically.
If the dialog box still exists, it indicates that the entered authorization code is incorrect

D. Configure the phone numbers of the calling and called MSs used for the recording.
The phone numbers here refers to the MSISDNs of the calling and called MSs. Note that
the calling and called MSs to be tested should be recorded by the TC.
The following part introduces how to add the country code (CC) to the phone number.
Take the CC of China (86) as an example. Before the test, use the calling MS to make a
call to the called MS and then check whether "86 + phone number of the calling MS" is
displayed on the called MS. If displayed, enter 86 before the phone number of the MS on
the LMT. That is, enter 861398888007 during the configuration if the actual phone
number of the calling MS is 1398888007. If not displayed, enter the phone number of the
calling MS directly on the LMT. This requirement is not applicable to the called MS.
2015-1-27
Huawei Confidential
Page 8 of 34
Confidentiality
After the TC recording starts, check whether a .dat file named after the last four numbers
of the calling or called MS exists in the \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\BSC6000\data\mtndata\tcfile
directory. Take the 030813013-20090606171322-5320.data file as an example. 5320 is
the last four numbers of the calling or called MS.
If the preceding TC recording fails, modify the configurations during the TC recording by
using "phone number of the calling MS", "86 + phone number of the calling MS", "phone
number of the called MS", and "86 + phone number of the called MS".
In addition, to facilitate the comparison of Probe data and TC recording file, synchronize
the time on the GBAM of the BSC with the time on Probe.
2.2 Operations for TC Recording on the BSC6900

A. Run the following command to add the phone number of the MS to be recorded:
ADD CALLRESRECORD: RECINDEX=2, USERIDTYPE=BYMSISDN,
MSISDN="13908881006", RECORDTYPE=TC;
Wherein, RECINDEX indicates the index number of the MS to be recorded, and the value
2015-1-27
Huawei Confidential
Page 9 of 34
Confidentiality
ranges from 0 to 3.
MSISDN indicates the phone number of the MS to be recorded.
RECINDEX is the same as that of the BSC6000, ranging from 0 to 3. Note that only four
recording files are allowed for a BSC.
B. Enter LST CALLRESRECORD in the Command Input(F5) box to query the phone
number of the MS to be recorded, as shown in the following figure.
C. Enter RMV CALLRESRECORD in the Command Input(F5) box to remove the phone
number of the MS to be recorded, as shown in the following figure.
Enter the index number of the MS to remove the phone number of the MS. For example,
0 indicates that the phone number of the MS 0 is removed.
After the recording, remove the phone number of the recorded MS. Otherwise, the recording continues
and thus a great amount of data is generated.
2.3 Data Obtaining After the TC Recording

After the TC recording configuration is complete, a .dat file of the call is generated during
the test. The .dat file is saved in the 10.161.xx.xxx \bsc6000\ data\ mtndata\ tcFile
directory on the GBAM of the BSC. Wherein, 10.161.xx.xxx indicates the IP address of
the BSC. The generated .dat file is named after the last four numbers of the calling or
called MS.
Take the 20080914140338-011300016-6063.dat file as an example. 200809140338
2015-1-27

indicates the specific time when the recording is started. 011300016 indicates the slot
No. and channel No. of the DSP occupied by the call. 6063 indicates the last four number
of the tested MS. Note that the 20080914140338-011300016-6063.dat file records the
information of the MS that is being called or originates the call to the MS with the last four
numbers of 6063.

sent out without being processed. During the loopback, the interface board receives
signals transmitted on the timeslot.
If Loopback Mode is set to Local Loopback, the signals that should have been sent are
received. The interface board receives signals transmitted on the timeslot during the
loopback.
Method of querying the loopback status: Click Query to query the loopback status over
relevant ports.
During speech problem location, the timeslot loopback over the Abis interface is
commonly performed. The timeslot loopback over the A interface can be replaced by the
remote speech channel loopback.
The following table lists the test results of the interface board port timeslot loopback in normal

timeslot to be looped back needs to be set correctly. Assume the E1 timeslot is X, you can calculate X
by using the timeslot (Y) that is queried through the single user resource query function. The formula is
X = Y/8.
The timeslot loopback may lead to the loopback of other calls carried on the timeslot. Therefore, perform
the timeslot loopback when no other calls are initiated on the timeslot. On the LMT, choose BSC
Maintenance > Maintain User Resource > Query Abis Interface Timeslot State to query whether the
Abis interface is occupied. On the LMT, choose BSC Maintenance > Maintain User Resource >
Maintain Ater Resource to query whether the Ater interface is occupied.
3.1.2 TRX/BTS Speech Loop Test

A. BTS Speech Loop Test
The BTS Speech Loop Test tests the connection of the TRX speech channel between the
Um interface and the BTS DBUS. The TMU loops back the DBUS timeslot of the speech
channel to be tested. If the user who occupies a channel can hear his own voice, it
indicates that the channel is connected through; otherwise, the channel is not connected
through.
If speech problems such as noises occur, perform the BTS speech loop test to check
whether you can hear noises. If you can hear noises, it indicates that the speech
problems are caused by boards or NEs above the Abis interface.

B. TRX Speech Loop Test

The TRX Speech Loop Test tests connection of the TRX speech channel between the
Um interface and the DSP. If the user who occupies a channel can hear his/her own
voice, it indicates that the channel is connected through and the loopback is performed
properly.
If speech problems such as noises occur, perform the TRX speech loop test to check
whether you can hear noises. If you can hear noises, it indicates that the speech
problems occur on the direction from the TRX to the BTS. If you cannot hear noises, it
indicates that the speech problems occur on the direction from the TRX to the MSC.

IV. Operations for One-Way Audio Detection

In this function, the one-way audio detection of two classes is provided. In class-1
detection, the detection threshold is adjusted flexibly to find the one-way audio as many
as possible. In class-2 detection, the one-way audio problems found in class-1 are
checked to ensure the accuracy. In addition, the information about fault location is added
to facilitate troubleshooting.
This function can detect only the one-way audio caused by BSS faulty and occurred on
the TC between the BTS (TRX) and the BSC. In BM/TC separated mode, the detection
range of this function is as follows:
Currently, the Abis interface and the A interface support the class-2 one-way audio
detection only when these interfaces work in TDM mode. In addition, the function cannot
be implemented without the support of the BTS (the TRX should support the class-2 oneway audio detection). If the BTS fails to support this function, the one-way audio
detection and location cannot be performed.

Step 3: In the displayed Configure BSC Attributes dialog box, click the Inner Software
Parameters tab, and then set the following parameters: Speech Channel Alarm
Threshold, Speech Channel Resume Alarm Threshold, and TC Mute Detect Class 1
Detect Threshold(%), as shown in the following figure.
Speech Channel Alarm Threshold: This parameter specifies the threshold for reporting
the speech Channel alarm. If the number of one-way audio that occurs in an hour on the
BSC exceeds this threshold, the speech channel alarm is reported. The smaller the value
is, the easier the speech channel alarm is reported. This parameter is valid only when
Mute Detect Class 2 Switch in cell attributes is set to Yes.
Speech Channel Alarm Resume Threshold: This parameter specifies the threshold for
reporting the speech channel resume alarm. If the number of one-way audio that occurs
in an hour on the BSC is smaller than this threshold, the speech channel resume alarm is
reported. The greater the value is, the easier the speech channel resume alarm is
reported. This parameter is valid only when Mute Detect Class 2 Switch in cell
attributes is set to Yes.
2015-1-27
Huawei Confidential
Page 23 of 34
Confidentiality
TC Mute Detect Class1 Threshold(%): This parameter specifies the threshold for the
proportion of the number of bad frames to the total number of TRAU frames. If the
proportion of bad frames exceeds this threshold within the value of Mute Timer, one-way
audio may occur. You can determine whether to detect the class-2 one-way audio
according to the setting of Mute Detect Class2 Switch.
4.1.2 Configuring Cell Attributes

Step 1: On the Management Tree tab page, click BSC6000, and then press

Confidentiality
Mute Detect Flag, Mute Detect Class2 Switch, Period of Mute Detect Class1(s),
Exceptional Frame Threshold(%), Period of Detect Frames(s), and Mute Detect
Time(s), as shown in the following figure.
TC Mute Detect Flag: This parameter specifies whether the one-way audio detection is
allowed for the TC. If this parameter is set to No, the class-2 one-way audio detection is
not triggered.
2015-1-27
Huawei Confidential
Page 25 of 34
Confidentiality
Mute Detect Class 2 Switch: This parameter specifies whether to enable the class-2
one-way audio detection function.
Period of Mute Detect Class1(s): This parameter specifies the one-way audio detection
period. If the proportion of bad frames within the period specified by this parameter
exceeds the value of Exceptional Frame Threshold(%), you can infer that the one-way
audio occurs. Class-2 one-way audio detection is performed if Mute Detect Class 2
Switch is set to Yes.
Exceptional Frame Threshold(%): This parameter specifies the threshold for the
proportion of the number of bad frames to the total number of TRAU frames. If the
proportion of bad frames exceeds this threshold within the value of Period of Mute
Detect Class1(s), one-way audio may occur. You can determine whether to detect the
level-2 one-way audio according to the setting of Mute Detect Class2 Switch.
Period of Detect Frame(s): This parameter specifies the period for sending the TRAU
test frame after the class-2 one-way audio detection function is enabled. One TRAU test
frame is sent in each period until the response from the peer end is received or the timer
expires.
Mute Detect time(s): This parameter specifies the class-2 one-way audio detection
period. After the BTS or TC sends the class-2 one-way audio detection request, if no
response or TRAU test frame is received within the period specified by this parameter,
you can infer that the class-2 one-way audio detection fails; if the detection response is
received but no TRAU test frame is received within the period specified by this
parameter, you can infer that one-way audio occurs; if both the detection response and
the correct TRAU test frame are received within the period specified by this parameter,
the speech channel is inferred to be normal.
4.1.3 Configuring DPU Board Attributes

Confidentiality
Step 2: The Configure Board Attributes dialog box is displayed. Click Next. Set the
parameters Mute Detect and Mute Timer, as shown in the following figure.
Mute Detect: This parameter specifies whether to enable the one-way audio and no
audio detection function.
Mute Timer: This parameter specifies the duration of the one-way audio and no audio
that are detected by the BSC. If Mute Detect is set to On, the BSC instructs the
GDPUC/GDPUX to check whether one-way audio or no audio occurs after a call is set
up. Mute Timer indicates the duration of consecutive one-way audio after an alarm
related to the one-way audio is reported. These two attributes are available only for the
DPU software.

Mute Detect Class1 Switch: This parameter specifies whether to enable the class-1
one-way audio detection function.
Period of Mute Detect Class1: This parameter specifies the class-1 one-way audio
detection period. If the proportion of bad frames within the period specified by this
parameter exceeds the value of Exceptional Frame Threshold of Mute Detect Class1,
you can infer that one-way audio occurs. Class-2 one-way audio detection is performed if
Mute Detect Class2 Switch is set to ENABLE(ENABLE).
Exceptional Frame Threshold of Mute Detect Class1: This parameter specifies the
threshold for the proportion of the number of bad frames to the total number of TRAU
frames. If the proportion of bad frames exceeds this threshold within the value of Period
of Mute Detect Class1, one-way audio may occur. Class-2 one-way audio detection is
performed if Mute Detect Class2 Switch is set to ENABLE(ENABLE).
Mute Detect Class2 Switch: This parameter specifies whether to enable the class-2
one-way audio detection function. This function is used to check the one-way audio
problem detected by the class-1 one-way audio detection. In this way, the accuracy of
one-way audio detection is improved.
Period of Mute Detect Class2 TRAU Frame: This parameter specifies the period for
sending the TRAU test frames after the class-2 one-way audio detection function is

enabled. One TRAU test frame is sent in each period until the response from the peer
end is received or the timer expires.
Period of Mute Detect Class2: This parameter specifies the class-2 one-way audio
detection period. After the BTS or TC sends the class-2 one-way audio detection request,
if no detection response or correct TRAU test frame is received within the period
specified by this parameter, you can infer that the class-2 one-way audio detection fails; if
the detection response is received but no correct TRAU test frame is received within the
period specified by this parameter, you can infer that one-way audio occurs; if both the
detection response and the correct TRAU test frame are received within the period
specified by this parameter, the speech channel is inferred to be normal.
4.3 Application of Alarms and Logs

After a class-2 one-way audio is detected, you can set two alarm parameters to obtain
the alarm information. The two parameters are Speech Channel Alarm Threshold and
Speech Channel Resume Alarm Threshold. The alarm reporting period is one hour. If
the number of one-way audio that occurs in an hour exceeds the value of Speech
Channel Alarm Threshold, the one-way audio alarm is reported. If the number of oneway audio that occurs in an hour is smaller than the value of Speech Channel Resume
Alarm Threshold, the one-way audio alarm is cleared.
The BSC records a piece of one-way audio log each time a class-2 one-way audio is
detected.
The

IP\bsc6000\data\mtndata\log\txt\mclog directory with the file name extension of .mclog.

The format of the logs is as follows:

Dialing Test Procedure and Precautions for Subjective

Speech Problems
When processing the preceding speech problems, such as one-way audio, mute, and
noises, field engineers should perform two tests: one is the dialing test at the site and the
other is the loopback test in the equipment room.
1. Select a site.
Stay in the serving cell of the problem site during the test to reduce the handover
probability. In addition, disable the function of measurement report (MR) preprocessing if
it is enabled at the site.
2. Adjust the time on the laptop and provide the feedback on the time difference between

the laptop and the GBAM.

Synchronize the time on the laptop with that on the GBAM to one second.
3. Start the TC recording on the BSC to trace both the calling MS and the called MS.
4. Trace the RSL signaling in the cell and the single user signaling of both the calling
party and the called party.
The tracing signaling file of a single user is named after the phone number of the MS.
Click to modify the file name. Then, report the relations between the phone number
and the MS. For example, MS 1 used in the drive test uses the phone number of xxx, as
shown in the following figure.
5. Start the dialing test by initiating a call.

After the preceding preparations are complete, use TEMS or Probe to perform the dialing
test. Use an MS to call another MS (fixed-line phone is better).
When one-way audio, mute, or noises occur, the party should dial # twice on the TEMS

and cries, "One-way audio" ("Mute" or "Noises"), which facilitates the fast locating of the
problem point during data analysis. Then, record the time, information about the calling
party and the called party, and the duration of one-way audio, no audio, or noises to
facilitate the subsequent problem location.
6. The loop test procedure and precautions are as follows:
Remarks: Get the test record table ready before the test. For the record table template,
see III Operations for Speech Loopback Test. To ensure the accuracy of the loop test
result, it is recommended that each kind of loop test be performed for a minimum of four
times.
After speech problem occurs, filed engineers should perform the following tests in
sequence: remote speech channel loopback, timeslot loopback on the A interface board,
timeslot loopback on the Abis interface board, BTS speech loop test, and TRX speech
loop test.
If the speech problem still exists after each loop test is complete, the loop test result is
proved to be reliable. If the speech problem disappears after a loop test is complete, no
subsequent loop test is required.
The record table that is generated after the loop tests is as follows:
Loopback Mode (Calling Party)
Effect on the Calling Party
Effect on the Called Party
Remote speech channel loopback

(MSC)
Remote speech channel loopback
(BTS)
DSP channel loopback (A)
