Collection Methods
The performance statistics function is to collect the values of counters on the measurement
objects within a period of time.
There are four collection methods available, listed as follows.
l Cumulative Counter (CC) Collection
A running counter is saved in the tested NE, and it is used to perform cumulative
counting on a kind of events. When each collection cycle starts, the counter will be
reset to a predefined value (generally 0). When the collection cycle ends, the value
of the counter is the valid collection result.
l GAUGE Collection
Measures the dynamic variables that change bidirectionally (increase or decrease),
and these variables should be integers or real numbers. The variable value read when
the collection cycle ends is the valid collection result.
l Discrete Event Registration (DER) Collection
6-1
DER collection is a measurement method for a group of events related with the
measured attribute. Here, the Nth times of occurrence of one or some specified
events in this group of events will be regarded as the trigger point to drive the
measurement process, and furthermore to form measurement values. The value of
N depends on the occurrence frequency of the specified event(s). The measurement
value of discrete event registration will be reset when each collection cycle starts.
When the collection cycle ends, a valid collection result is given according to the
corresponding measurement value.
l Status Inspection (SI) Collection
Some internal counters for resource management purpose are saved in the tested
NE, and they are constantly read at the preset sampling frequency. The measurement
value of status inspection will be reset when each collection cycle starts. When
the collection cycle ends, a valid collection result is calculated according to all the
sampling values in this cycle.
Context
Performance management collects the daily running performance indices of the ZXUN
xGW system by creating measurement tasks, and provides query and operation functions,
too.
l Query includes querying the counter information, querying dynamic measurement
objects, and querying the performance data sub-function; it provides users with
information of corresponding measurement types, counters, and measurement
objects, and provides a report about the running status of the whole network for
users.
l Operation includes two functions: synchronizing and exporting.
à Synchronizing means to execute the synchronization between the LMT and the
ZXUN PGWforeground, ensuring the data accuracy.
6-2

7.1 Description
Terminologies
l Trace Entity
A trace entity refers to the signaling trace objects, including various users, protocols,
services, and interfaces.
l Trace Task
A trace task means the signaling trace originated to the traced entities. The trace task
can be classified as the system task and the client task; the ZXUN PGW system uses
only the client task.
à System task: a task originated by the system itself.
à Client task: a task originated by the signaling trace client (such as the LMT), it
has the same lifetime with the client. When the client exits, the client task ends
and the trace result is reported to the client which originates this trace.
Basic Functions
Currently in the ZXUN PGW product, the LMT provides signaling trace to the data users.
The signaling trace tasks are created according to the International Mobile Subscriber
Identity (IMSI), Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN),
Network Access Identifier (NAI), and LNS IP/LAC IP/VRFID of the common users.
