Mobile Core Protocol Analyzer
SAFIRE Tracer Plug-In for GSM-MAP & GPRS Protocol Analysis.
Mobile Core Protocol Architecture
Overview
The Mobile Core Protocol Analyzer is a SAFIRE Tracer Plug-In for decoding Mobile Core signaling according to the protocol specifications provided by ITU-T, ETSI national and proprietary standards.
This module also includes Mobile Core specific event masks for filtering, triggering, counting and searching, both for online and offline processing of captured data.
Mobile Core Network Architecture
Key Features
- Mobile Core decode for ITU-T, ETSI national and proprietary standards
- Decode for GSM MAP (B, C, D, E, F, G, H) Phase 1, 2 & 3
- Decode for GPRS (Gb, Gc, Gf, Gi, Gn, Gp, Gr)
- Decode for UMTS Gn
- Decode for CAMEL Phase 1, 2, 3 & 4
- Decode for Iu (CS, PS Control Plane)
- Multiple user defined levels of decode detail
- Single line decode with key information for each Mobile Core message
- Color formatting of field names and values for readability
- Built-in Mobile Core specific event masks used for filters, triggers and counters
- Mobile Core call trace filter
Description
The Mobile Core Protocol Analyzer decodes the captured signaling layer-by-layer, with configurable detail levels (off, hex, min, med, max) for each layer. There are several predefined settings from single-line decode, displaying only the key information of the entire Mobile Core message, up to maximum mode, which presents every bit-field in a layer with value translation.
SAFIRE Tracer Sample
For more advanced capture and post-processing of messages there are filter, trigger, counter and search features, based on Mobile Core specific event masks with parameters such as IMSI, Called or Calling Party Number, allowing:
- trigger capturing the messages for a call by a specific subscriber.
The Mobile Core call trace feature automatically finds all the signaling events related to a specific MAP transaction.
