Troubleshooting Guides

5G Initial Access Troubleshooting

Isolate failures in cell search, PBCH decode, SIB1 acquisition, suitability checks, camping, and pre-random-access gating.

TAI and Tracking Area Mismatch Troubleshooting

Troubleshoot TAC broadcast errors, tracking-area restrictions, roaming-area mismatch, and area-related registration reject causes.

AMF Selection and GUAMI Issues

Troubleshoot wrong AMF targeting, stale GUAMI or 5G-GUTI context, and broken AMF-selection hints across RRC and NGAP.

5G Registration Failure Troubleshooting

End-to-end guide for registration reject, incomplete registration, AMF selection issues, and first-access failures.

Initial Context Setup Failure Analysis

Diagnose failures during Initial Context Setup and isolate core, policy, or radio-side blockers.

PDU Session Establishment Failure

Diagnose failed session setup, 5GSM reject causes, policy gaps, and missing path creation.

Latest Updates

Message 5G NGAP - UE Context Release Request

UE Context Release Request is the NGAP message sent by the NG-RAN node to the AMF when the RAN side requests release of a UE-associated NGAP context.

Message 5G NGAP - PDU Session Resource Modify Request

PDU Session Resource Modify Request is the AMF-to-NG-RAN NGAP message used to request modification of one or more already established PDU session resources for a UE.

Message 5G NGAP - PDU Session Resource Modify Response

PDU Session Resource Modify Response is the NGAP message sent by the NG-RAN node to the AMF after processing PDU Session Resource Modify Request, reporting successful and failed per-session modification results.

Message 5G NGAP - PDU Session Resource Notify

PDU Session Resource Notify is the NGAP message sent by the NG-RAN node to the AMF when the RAN needs to report PDU session resource status changes, including notified resources, released resources, and session-level transfer information.

Message 5G NGAP - Downlink RAN Status Transfer

Downlink RAN Status Transfer is the AMF-to-target-NG-RAN message used during lossless handover to deliver the RAN status transfer information that was previously reported from the source side.

Message 5G NGAP - PDU Session Resource Modify Confirm

PDU Session Resource Modify Confirm is the NGAP message sent by the AMF to the NG-RAN node in response to PDU Session Resource Modify Indication, confirming successful and failed per-session modification outcomes.
