SubscriberDataLookupFromHLR is responsible for reading subscriber data from the HLR and writing it into Sentinel session state variable fields.

The data it reads from the HLR is accessed through the AnyTimeSubscriberInterrogation MAP operation. The Application Context used is anyTimeInfoHandlingContext_v3_ac

Configuration

The feature uses the HLRConfigProfileTable to access its configuration. For more information refer to HLR MAP Configuration.

Statistics

SubscriberDataLookupFromHLR statistics are tracked by the SubscriberDataLookupFromHLR feature and can be found under the following parameter set: SLEE-Usage → sentinel.volte.sip service ID → SubscriberDataLookupFromHLR.

Name Type Description
Started

Counter

Incremented each time the feature runs

FailedToStart

Counter

Incremented when Sentinel VoLTE encounters an error while attempting to start the feature

IssuedWarning

Counter

Incremented when a non-fatal problem is encountered and the feature issues a warning

FailedDuringExecution

Counter

Incremented when a fatal problem is encountered and the feature cannot execute correctly

TimedOut

Counter

Incremented when the feature takes too long to complete and Sentinel VoLTE aborts execution

RequestSent

Counter

Incremented when the feature receives subscriber data from the HLR

RequestSuccessful

Counter

Incremented after the feature successfully processes the data it received, and loads it into session state fields

RequestFailed

Counter

Incremented when absent configuration data prevents the feature from running

ResponseLatency

Sampled

Records elapsed time between sending the request to the HLR and getting a response (in milliseconds).

Behaviour

This feature uses the CGIN MAP RA to access the HLR.

Each time the feature is invoked, it checks the call type and determines the subscriber number that it should use to query the HLR.

The feature attempts to extract "phone number digits" from the Default Public ID, and if it cannot, from any other registered IMS Public User Identity. The first IMS Public User Identity that has "phone number digits" has its digits extracted to form the MSISDN for the AnytimeSubscriptionInterrogation query. If the feature cannot form an MSISDN it raises a Feature Error and finishes execution.

The feature requests the subscriber data by sending a AnyTimeSubscriptionInterrogation request for all Supplementary Services. If the triggering attempt is a terminating trigger, the feature sends two queries in order to gather the Call Forwarding information.

In order to form the ATSI request the feature:

  1. sets the GSM SCF address to the SentinelSCCPAddress configuration value

  2. sets the destination SCCP address to the HlrSCCPAddress configuration value

  3. sets the indicator fields to request CLIP, CLIR, CW, ODB and may request Forwarding information for unconditional forwarding

If the session is a terminating session, a second request is sent where Forwarding information is requested for conditional forwarding.

Once the query(s) are successful, it sets the session state fields for the supplementary services according the mapping below.

GSM ASN.1 Schema to Session-State Fields

The mapping below describes how the AnyTimeSubscriptionInterrogation result is mapped into the MMTel Subscriber Data Representation.

ss-Status ASN.1 field

The field ss-Status is used by almost all supplementary services and defines the service state. Each service defines a set of possible values based on ss-Status, so called State Vectors. A state vector is formed of 4 variables: Provisioning State, Registration State, Activation State and HLR Induction State. This feature only reads the Activation State, i.e. "A and Q" bits.
