callEventStartTimeStamp

Validations ASN.1 Parent Types

The timestamp gives the start of the call event.

The time is given in the local time of the Sender PMN (or Serving Network where this is not the Sender).  There must be a UTC Time Offset Code associated with the timestamp.

Note that local time is the local time at the location of the chargeable subscriber.  Where the location is not available, as in some call forwarding scenarios, this will be a notional ‘network local time’.

Note that this timestamp is, in most cases, the start of charging, e.g. the call answer time rather than the channel seizure time where the call is charged from answer time.

In the case of an intermediate or last partial record of the same GPRS Call (GPRS Context) the timestamp must be populated with the record start time and not the context start timestamp (see item PDP Context Start Timestamp for identification of GPRS context start time in each partial record).

Derivation: 

GSM item answerTime or seizureTime (3GPP TS 32.005).  This will normally be the equivalent of the start of charging or, where the call event is non chargeable, the equivalent point.

For WLAN network usage, translated into local time of the WLAN Hot Spot Location, item event-timestamp (RFC 2869).

Conditionality: 

Mandatory within groups

             MT Basic Call Information

Format:  CCYYMMDDHHMMSS

Example:
> PDP Context activated at 2350hrs
> Two partials raised on TAP (cut across 2400hrs)
First partial:
     Call Event Start Timestamp = PDP Context Start Timestamp = 235000
Second partial:
     Call Event Start Timestamp = 240000
     PDP Context Start Timestamp = 235000
