3. Information Elements in Data

Collection

The tables below list all information elements that can be presented by TEMS

Investigation Data Collection. For ease of reference, each category on the

Info Element tab is still covered in one single, alphabetically ordered list.

(Certain deviations from strict alphabetical order occur in the application inorder to achieve more logical orderings and groupings.) However, since the

number and diversity of the information elements are great, a special column

with codes is used in some tables to distinguish important subgroups among

the elements.

3.1. GSM Information Elements

Properties of Information Elements: The Asterisk Column

In the column marked *, a set of codes is used to state conditions under

which an information element is

• valid: a non-trivial condition must be fulfilled for the element to be valid

• not valid: the element is normally valid, but in certain circumstances it is

not (code ends in “–”)

• extended compared to the simplest GSM case: the element sometimes

carries more information, for example when frequency hopping is used

(code ends in “+”)

If nothing is written in the asterisk column, the element is always valid

(provided it is supported by the device).

Code Meaning

c Valid if a cell file is loaded.

g Valid when running GPRS. Not valid for voice.

g+ The element is richer for (E)GPRS, in one of the following ways:

• more values, i.e. more arguments – e.g. C/I Best

• values have a more complex meaning – e.g. C/I Hopping

List (average over timeslots)

• larger range of possible values – e.g. Channel Type.

g– Not valid when running (E)GPRS.

ga Valid in GAN mode or for GAN-capable phones.

h Valid if frequency hopping is used.


14/393


6

h+ The element is richer if frequency hopping is used.

If frequency hopping is used, the element covers all channels in

the hopping list.

• No GPRS connection: One value for each channel

(arguments 0 through 63)

• GPRS: One value for each timeslot used on each channel

(arguments 0 through 64 · 8 – 1 = 511). Exception: C/I

Hopping List has only one value for each channel

(arguments 0 through 63).

If frequency hopping is not used, the element contains valuesfor the single channel employed.

• No GPRS connection: One single value (argument 0).

• GPRS: One value for each timeslot used on the channel

(arguments 0 through 7).

Example: C/I Best.

hc+ If frequency hopping is used, the element covers all channels in

the hopping list. One value for each channel (arguments 0

through 63).

No separate values for each timeslot for a GPRS connection.

Example: C/I Hopping List.

h– Not valid if frequency hopping is used.

hs Valid when running HSCSD. Not valid for voice.

hs+ The element is richer for HSCSD, in one of the following ways:

• more values, i.e. more arguments – e.g. C/I Best

• values have a more complex meaning – e.g. C/I Hopping

List (average over timeslots)

• larger range of possible values – e.g. Channel Type.

hs– Not valid when running HSCSD.

p Reported by positioning equipment.

s Reported from GSM RSSI scanning.

Code Meaning


15/393


LZT 108 9987 R2A 7

“Full” and “Sub” Values

Information elements with “Full” in their names are calculated on all blocks.

Information elements with “Sub” in their names are calculated only on the

blocks known to be sent also when downlink DTX is active (in each 104-

multiframe, one TCH block with SID information and one SACCH block).

GSM RxLev Units

GSM RxLev units are defined in 3GPP 45.008, section 8.1.4.

Information Element Table

si (Reported from interference scanning with a Sony Ericsson

GSM phone.) This function is no longer supported in anyconnectable phone, but the information elements are retained in

this description since old logfiles with interference scan data can

still be replayed in the application.

On BCCHCarrier

–120 ... –10

dBm

– Signal strength on the current

BCCH. Especially useful forobtaining a correct measure of

the cell size when frequency

hopping is used and power

control is applied to the TCHs.

The following steps are used to

find a value for the element:

1. Neighbor list. If the BCCH

frequency is in the neighbor

list, report its signal strength.

2. Hopping list. If the BCCH is

used as hopping frequency

(in dedicated mode), report

its signal strength.

3. Idle mode. If the phone is in

idle mode, report RxLev

(dBm).

If frequency hopping is not

used, step 2 becomes “If BCCH

= TCH ...”.Invalid if no value is found in

any of the above steps.
