For a successful VoLTE call there is normally at Good Dedicated Bearer and a Good
Context.
The Bearer is SS=19 and is the length of the VoLTE call, which is 426.733 seconds in
the screen shot above.
The Good Context is from RRC Setup to Context Release and normally starts before
the Bearer and ends after the Bearer.
If the Good Context starts right before the VoLTE Bearer, you can use this to
guestimate if the VoLTE call was a Termination or Origination.
2) This is an example of a VoLTE LC for a short VoLTE Call with UL RF
Issues.
The VoLTE Bearer is still listed as a VGood Call, because the MME/SGW tears down
the call in a normal manner. It does not indicate to ECDS that the Bearer was torn
down due to an RF Failure.
That type of message is not provided and is why the Bearer is still listed as a VoLTE
Good.
The VLC occurs at roughly exactly the same time the VGood and the VLC is the RF
record from ECDS. Hovering over the Context Release reasons provide this detail
UE Release Cause = 11 = Radio Connection with UE Lost. Internal Cause = 14 =
RRC Reconfiguration Time out.
Both these simply indicate that the RF condition was bad. When I right-clicked and
did a Handoff Popup, there was no handoff for this call.
When you look at the next few Good Context records, they are all on 173.443.2 at
0.63/0.78 miles away.
If I look at the Right-Click UE Data Popup for some of the other Good Context after
the VLC, I can see Avg CQI = 4.7 and UL Power Restricted at 100%.
I also see that UL Nak% = 29.6% and UL BLER% = 31.0% and UL kbps = 27.
This indicates to me that the mobile Uplink was in a bad RF condition.
The last thing to note that tends to indicate this was a bad VoLTE call is that for the
VGood Dedicated Bearer records, the SGW Bytes Rxed in the UL is 0.
I have seen in the past on some one-way audio that I had, that the QCI=1 Bearer
record had either UL or DL SGW Bytes = 0. This is not a 100% indicator that a one
way audio occurred, but it is a good sanity check.
In the above screen shot, the VoLTE Call starts at 16:54:01.6 and ends at 17:03:04.5
as seen in row 145 VGood Bearer record.
We see one VLC at 16:59:36 (row 147) and another at 17:03:05.2 (row 141). The
VLC at 17:03:05.3 is Release UE Cause = 11 = Radio Connection with UE lost and
Internal Reason = 6 = RLC Failure on Signaling Bearer.
To me this indicates that the VoLTE Call ended with a drop, since the VLC is at the
same time of the Bearer End Time.
The VLC that occurs at 16:59:36 is in the middle of the VoLTE call. This indicates to
me that the RF Context was Released, but did not cause the VoLTE Bearer to be
released.
Since this VLC was in the middle of the VoLTE call, it likely caused some audio holes
while the Radio Context was released and re-established.
Note: The Subscriber Number is not populated in all the ECDS records. If you only
have the Subscriber, search that first and then re-query with the IMSI to make sure
you have all the records.
5) VoLTE Setup Fail (VSF) example.
RTT can only capture some of the VSF calls. In the case below, there is an ERAB
Setup Fail. If we scroll to the right to the ERAB Setup Details, we will see that the
setup failed due to Results = 2 = Failure in Radio Procedure.
This indicates the ESF occurred due to Radio issues. It also reports a Dedicated
Bearer Activation Failure (DBAF). I also see that a normal CD occurs shortly after
the ESF.
7) Creating a Distance Histogram for all the VLC and VSF and plotting
them on a map.
The Distance Histogram page can be used just to look at the VLC and VSF. This is
done by only checking VSF and VLC when running the query.
In the screen shot below, I queried the last 8 days of VLC and VSF and it only took
16 seconds to run for 7885 VLC and VSF that had Distance information. (VoLTE_Cat
field is indexed).
I then sorted by Total Count and found that 457.59.12 had the most VLC/VSF at 173.
I then right-clicked on that row of data and chose Show Call Locations on Map Popup.
The Distance Histogram for the VSF/VLC are then plotted on the Map Pop. You can
open multiple Map Popups at a time, but right-clicking on a new row of data.
8) Plotting where the VLC and VSF are occurring with Simple Query page.
Since we are still in early stages of VoLTE, in most markets you can query the last 8
days of all VLC and VSF in the Simple Query page.
Then you can right-click on the results table and choose Show Call Location on Map
Popup.
In LTE RTT, we only get the Distance measurement for one Mkt.eNB.Cell_ID and
display this as an arc on the map. The count of records at that distance is displayed
in text at the center azimuth of the sector.
In the screen shot below, I zoomed into an area of interest on the map and changed
the Arc Properties. I increased the Thickness to 50% and kept it as a Heat Map.
In contrast, I can turn off the Heat Map option and reduce the Thickness to 10%.
This makes each arc drawn at 100% transparency.
Update: The Session Status=22 were removed from the VLC formula
on 1/21/2015 to match the ELPT VLC formula.
Change
In the screen shot above, the SS=22 will occur at roughly the same end time as the
G DBearer, which is 17:27:21 in the screen shot above.
The SS=22 VLC indicates that the Dedicated Bearer release was triggered by the
MME and that there was still Data in the queue that was not sent.
The G Ctxt that occurs shortly after the VLC was the RF record for this VoLTE call.
Bottom Line: The official corporate formula indicates this is a VLC. However, many
of the markets have provided data to Service Performance Team that indicates
these may not be customer impacting drops.
