Finding Serving Cell in E/// BSC via User IMSI

[electron]

Hi guys,

Suppose we have a user IMSI and we want to see user is served by what cell in E/// BSC (Assume user is in dedicated mode). Would be appreciated if share the command sequences .


Cheers

How about using MTR (Mobile Traffic Recording) ? There you can see not only the serving cell information but also analyze active connection etc.

I have no access to MTR in project there is another command sequences in BSC to find the user. I am looking for that.

dear
if your MSC is E/// also, please run this command to know the cell:
mgssp:imsi=xxxxxxxxxxxx;

Hi,
Those are steps which I use to see serving cell on Ericcson MSCS

####HLR, find current MSISDN VLR
hgsdp:msisdn=xxxxxxxxxxxx,loc;

###MSCS
mgnmp:msc=all;
ctrai:msisdn=xxxxxxxxxxxx;
test system;
print var mtv xxxxx:h'147;
!MTV variable is ABCD H'dec cell code!
end test;

From previuos printout received Hexadecimal code of the serving cell.
Than convert hecadecimal code to the decimal and find it on the list of defined internal cells.
mgcep:cell=all;

reputation and thanks are welcome

Dears; can you please what are the xxxxx mentioned below and from where to be obtain.

print var mtv xxxxx:h'147;

Hope that is clear now.

Hi Consultant,
Would you say what H'147 is in the command?
Is it common for all operators or it depends on certain values?

[consultant]

Hi,

This is variable pointer which stores Cell ID.
When check Plex and ASA according core network release You will find relevant pointer.
