Feature Description

When an IoT UE is attached, they send a message, as needed, and go into Power Saving Mode (PSM) until the time they have to transmit the next message. The IoT UE does not detach (that is, session termination) after every message. By assessing the number of such messages through CDRs generated for the IoT UE session, the Operator can implement billing for IoT devices by including the packet counts in offline billing records.


Important
This feature is applicable to custom24 GTPP dictionary.

How It Works

As part of this feature, two new attributes are introduced for the packet count: datapacketsFBCDownlink and datapacketsFBCUplink. These two attributes are CLI-controlled and visible only when the CLI is enabled. The existing attributes are not modified or removed.

Configuring Packet Count in G-CDR

This section provides information about the CLI commands available in support of the feature.

Enabling Packet Count in G-CDR

Use the following commands to enable or disable sending of packet counts in G-CDR under the GTPP Server Group Configuration mode. 

configure 
   context context_name 
      gtpp group group_name 
         [ no ] gtpp attribute packet-count 
         end

NOTES:

  • no : Disables sending of uplink and downlink packet count in G-CDR.

  • packet-count : Specifying this option includes the optional field of "datapacketFBCUplink" and "datapacketFBCDownlink" in the CDR.

  • By default, the gtpp attribute packet-count CLI command is disabled.
