The GTPv2 tab is used to define the information in GPRS requests sent from the SGSN node to the GGSN SUT.
When a test case emulates a GGSN, the following parameters define the S11/S4/S5/S8 interface between the node and an SGSN SUT. In the Node test case, the parameters also define the Gn interface between the node and an SGSN SUT.
When you select the Inter-SGSN or Session Loading With Mobility test activity, a Handoff GTP tab is added to the test case. You can select a different GTP version for the handoff node, modify the RAI attributes, or configure a different QOS profile.
In PGW Nodal test case, the GTP tab is added to the (S5/S8 interface) test case when you select GTPv2 as the protocol.
The GTP tab is added to the S4 interface, when you select SGSN from the Serving Node dropdown list. In this case Direct Tunnel is mandatory and GTP version is restricted to v1.
The GTP tab is added to the S11 interface, when you select MME from the Serving Node dropdown list and GTP version is v2.
NOTE: The Target Bearer configuration parameters in SGW and PGW Nodal test cases are prefixed with Tgt. |
The GTPv2 tab is also added to the S2b interface when S5/S8 Protocol is GTPv2 or PMIPv6 when you select ePDG Node Emulation.
In SGW Node test case, the GTPv2 tab is added to the S11/S4/S5/S8 tab when S5/S8 Protocol is GTPv2 and S11/S4 tab when S5/S8 Protocol is PMIPv6.
In PGW Node test case the GTPv2 tab is added to the S5/S8 tab when Mobility is Inter-Technology, Network Interface is S5/S8, and Protocol is GTPv2 on the PGW Node Emulator Configuration tab.
In AMF Node and gNB CU SA Nodal test cases, the GTPv2 tab is added to the N26 when N26 Interface is enabled and S2a/S2b/S5/S8 tab when PGW-C Emulation is enabled.
In SMF Nodal test case, the GTPv2 tab is added to the (S5 interface) test case when (when Test Activity is “Inter Technology Mobility”), None (when Test Activity is “Sequencer” or “Command Mode”) and Handoff Protocol = LTE.

UE Time Zone UE Daylight Savings Time |
UE Time Zone: specifies the difference, in quarter-hour increments, between the local time and GMT. Bit 3 defines the algebraic sign of the difference (0 = positive, 1 = negative). The upper 4 bits and the lower 3 bits define the time difference, see example below. Example: The GUI accepts a range from 0 to 255, thus if you capture a value of 249 the binary values is 1111 1001. Since bit 3 (in bold) is 1, it is indicating a negative value. The upper 4 bits are 1111, which is 15 in decimal, the lower three bits are 001 which is 1 in decimal, thus the time difference value will be : 1*10 + 15 = 25 in quarter-hour increments, so the time difference is -6 hours and 15 minutes. The lower three bits must be multiplied by 10 to come up with the correct value. If you capture a value of 90 on the GUI, you will get the same time difference because 90 in binary is 0101 1010. The lower three bits is 010 which is 2 in decimal and the upper four bits are 0101 which is 5 in decimal. Thus, the time difference value is 2*10 + 5 = 25 in quarter-hour increments, so the time difference is -6 hours and 15 minutes. The lower three bits must be multiplied by 10 to come up with the correct value. Range: 0-255, Default 0 Tcl Parameter: Gtp2UeTimeZone Daylight Savings Time: Defines the adjustment for daylight savings time, if any, in the current time zone. Range: 0-3, Default 0

ARP Priority Level |
Use the ARP (Priority of Allocation and Retention) to determine the relative priority level during admission and congestion processes. The primary purpose of ARP is to decide whether a bearer establishment/modification request is accepted or needs to be rejected in case of resource limitations (typically available radio capacity in case of GBR bearers). In addition, the ARP is also used (e.g. by the eNodeB) to decide which bearer(s) to drop during exceptional resource limitations (e.g. at handover). Once successfully established, a bearer's ARP does not have any impact on the bearer level packet forwarding treatment (e.g. scheduling and rate control).

NOTE: The P-CSCF is the entry point to the IMS domain and serves as the outbound proxy server for the UE. The UE attaches to the P-CSCF prior to performing IMS registrations and initiating SIP sessions. The P-CSCF may be in the home domain of the IMS operator, or it may be in the visiting domain, where the UE is currently roaming. For attachment to a given P-CSCF, the UE performs the P-CSCF discovery procedures. Attachment to the P-CSCF is necessary for the UE for initiating IMS registrations and sessions. In these procedures, the UE first establishes the IP connectivity access network (IP-CAN) bearer. Then, the UE sends a query to the DHCP server for retrieving the IP addresses and FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of the P-CSCF. After the DHCP query, the UE performs a DNS query on the FQDN received from the DHCP server. In response to the DNS query, the IP address of the P-CSCF is returned (referred as the DHCP-DNS procedure for P-CSCF discovery). If the FQDN of the P-CSCF is pre-configured in the UE, the UE can directly query the DNS server and get the IP address of the P-CSCF. |

Parameter "Assign Ebi" was added to this TDF file. The values for Assign Ebi should be the value for the Default Bearer, starting with 5. If there are dedicated bearers, the Ebi for dedicated bearers will be sequential following the dedicated bearers, for example, if there are 4 default bearers and the 3rd had 3 dedicated and the 4th had 1 dedicated, the Ebi assignments should be as follows:
default ded1 ded2 ded3
1) 5
2) 6
3) 7 (8) (9) (10)
4) 11
Added TDF support on PGW NODE test case so that each UE can be assigned unique PCO address - See example file - pco.csv
Tcl Parameter: Gtp2CfgFileEn
Tcl Parameter: Gtp2CfgFile
See Test Data Files for further explanation and sample files. If a sample is not found for the specific TDF, you can obtain a sample file from your Technical Support representative. You may also use the following options to select an existing TDF or create/edit TDF-CSV files (TDF-CSV Editor).
For most TDF Parameters used for Applying Parameters, each row in the file is the overridden value for a different “Session”, aka a different UE. But some TDFs are done in other dimensions, like Bearers, eNodeBs, Subscribers (2 per UE sometimes) or even Hosts, etc. Tooltips on the TDF Parameter:
Note that the “ID” is a unique ID. Please Provide the ID when reporting issues with a TDF. For TDFs that do not apply / override Parameters, but instead are just their own configuration or data or media files you won’t see TDF ID row details.
TIP: When including large files, please be aware of memory limitations, since the TDF Editor shares memory with the Client. |
NOTE: The available TDF options vary. on the L3-7 | IPSec tab > IKE with RSA Settings you may only select the Certificate TDF from TAS (these are non-CSV TDFs). In addition, where applicable, any rules for defining TDFs are included in specific Test Cases. (For example, In MME Node test case, see MME Node - Provisioning TDF.) From the DMF Window, press Shift+Alt+A to display the Save DMF as Tcl window. Click the Save to File button to save as Tcl file. See additional details on Using the Tcl API.

Upload a New TDF to TAS |
Click to import a new TDF file from your local folder and select in the test Case (instead of having to go to TDF Admin).
|
||
View Edit Selected TDF in TDF-CSV Editor |
Available only when you have selected a TDF on TAS. Click to open the selected file in TDF-CSV Editor (in place, that is, within the Test Case). Edit the file and save. You may also click Save As to save the edited TDF-CSV to a different library and also rename the file, if required.
|
||
Open Selected TDF in Standalone TDF-CSV Editor |
Available only when you have selected a TDF on TAS. Select to retrieve the CSV file and open it in the stand alone TDF-CSV Editor. |
||
Generate Stub TDF-CSV |
Opens an example context specific test data parametersexample context specific test data parameters, which you may save as a .CSV file or open in the TDF-CSV Editor.
|
||
Launch Standalone TDF-CSV Editor |
Click to open a blank TDF-CSV Editor. The Launch Standalone TDF-CSV editor options handles very large TDFs that may use too much Client memory if opened within the Test Case/in the embedded editor. You may set the standalone TDF-CSV Editor memory high to edit large TDFs. |
