TEMS VISUALIZATION TIMESLOT MONITOR VIEW FAQS

1. The Timeslot Monitor view shows fewer TRUs than the actual configuration. Why?

2. Why is the Freq/MAIO missing from some timeslot records?

3. I selected a row on the grid, but its corresponding timeslot is not highlighted on the monitor. Why?

4. The Timeslot Monitor view does not show the BCCH, Dedicated PDCH, or the SDCCH. Why?

ANSWERS 

1. The Timeslot Monitor view shows fewer TRUs than the actual configuration. Why?
R-PMO logfiles only record the channel allocation and release messages. If no channel in a specific TRU changes state during the recording period, there is no message to identify the channel and TRU.

2. Why is the Freq/MAIO missing from some timeslot records?
To identify the Freq/MAIO value, TEMS Visualization uses both the Channel busy message and the Handover/Assignment Command message.

When a call is a handover into the recording set (from outside the set), the Handover Command message is not recorded. As a result, the corresponding Channel Busy message does not have a Freq/MAIO or Hopping value.

3. I selected a row on the grid, but its corresponding timeslot is not highlighted on the monitor. Why?
The Frequency/MAIO is not available in the data, so the TRU will not be updated with the timeslot information. As a result, nothing is highlighted on the monitor.

4. The Timeslot Monitor view does not show the BCCH, Dedicated PDCH, or the SDCCH. Why?
R-PMO logfiles record only the channel allocation and release messages. If a channel, such as BCCH or Dedicated PDCH, stays in the same state during the recording period, there is no message to identify the channel.
