Tracing inter-RAT events
View Patent ↗It is provided an apparatus, comprising selecting means adapted to select one set of parameters/values out of a first set of parameters/values and a second set of parameters/values received in an activation message related to a trace session of a subscriber or a terminal, wherein the selected set of parameters/values corresponds to the trace session in a first domain of the apparatus and the other set of parameters/values corresponds to the trace session in a second domain different from the first domain; providing means adapted to provide the selected set of parameters/values and an identifier to a tracing device for performing the trace session in the first domain, wherein the identifier is received in the activation message and related to the trace session.
1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code,
wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
receive an activating message, wherein the activating message comprises an identifier of a trace session, a first set of parameters related to the trace session in a first domain, and a second set of parameters related to the trace session in a second domain that is different from the first domain;
provide a forward relocation request, wherein the forward relocation request comprises the identifier of the trace session, the first set of parameters, the second set of parameters, and a trace recording session reference; and
initiate a trace session in the apparatus, wherein the trace session uses the identifier of the trace session.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first domain is a universal mobile telecommunication service and the second domain is a long term evolution network.
3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second sets of parameters comprises at least one of a list of NE types, a list of triggering events, a list of interfaces, and a trace depth, wherein each of the comprised lists comprises one or more entries.
4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second sets of parameters comprises at least one of a list of measurements, a list of trigger, a list of event thresholds, and a list of measurement periods, wherein each of the comprised lists comprises one or more entries.
5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , adapted to receive the identifier, the first set of parameters, and the second set of parameters in a prior activation message received before providing the first activation message.
6. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a processor, an activating message, wherein the activating message comprises an identifier of a trace session, a first set of parameters related to the trace session in a first domain, and a second set of parameters related to the trace session in a second domain different from the first domain;
providing a forward relocation request, wherein the forward relocation request comprises the identifier of the trace session, the first set of parameters, the second set of parameters, and a trace recording session reference; and
initiating a trace session in the apparatus, wherein the trace session uses the identifier of the trace session.
7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first domain is a universal mobile telecommunication service and the second domain is a long term evolution network.
8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein each of the first and second sets of parameters comprises at least one of a list of NE types, a list of triggering events, a list of interfaces, and a trace depth, wherein each of the comprised lists comprises one or more entries.
9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein each of the first and second sets of parameters comprises at least one of a list of measurements, a list of trigger, a list of event thresholds, and a list of measurement periods, wherein each of the comprised lists comprises one or more entries.
10. The method according to claim 6 , adapted to receive the identifier, the first set of parameters, and the second set of parameters in a prior activation message received before providing the first activation message.
11. A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, said product comprising a set of instructions which, when executed on an apparatus, is configured to cause the apparatus to carry out the method according to claim 6 .
