nrf9160 : NB-IoT not able to connect

[Aswin P V]

Hi,

We are trying to connect to NB-IoT network but seems nrf9160 not able to connect. We are trying with an NB-IoT SIM in Malaysia. Below is the log captured using LTE Link Monitor.

In the log , we are seeing "+CGEV: ME DETACH" which means Mobile equipment detach. 

Can you please help us in understanding what is wrong ?

Our sim vendor said APN name is "yesiot" , we tried setting that also. But still not able to connect to network.

Also attaching the modem trace collected using "NRF Trace Collector" and enodeb trace collected by our network team.

Please see the attachments.

Thanks in advance,

Hello Aswin,

From the log you have posted, is line number 7 from the bottom the only place where you added the APN? If so, you are missing a quotation mark:

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP",yesiot"

 It should be AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","yesiot"

Kind regards,
Øyvind

[Aswin P V]

oh yes ... but i also tried with setting it properly. But I am getting the same results.

Any other issue in the log? Also can you advice how to troubleshoot this issue 

We would like to know when "+CGEV: ME DETACH" happens and possible reasons

Thanks!

[Øyvind]

I have not been able to forward your modem trace yet. Just to clarify some details first.

Can you please try to issue the command:
+CGDCONT: 0,"IP","yesiot","",0,0

In your previous attempts, you are using CID 1, but CID 0 is returning empty:

2020-10-13T10:21:46.588Z DEBUG modem << +CGDCONT: 0,"IP","","",0,0
2020-10-13T10:21:46.600Z DEBUG modem << +CGDCONT: 1,"IP","yesiot","",0,0
2020-10-13T10:21:46.605Z DEBUG modem << OK

[Aswin P V]

Thanks for the reply. We checked with CID as 0. But still issue is there. 

Please see the attached logs and traces.

We also tried with the latest modem FW version 1.2.1 ( Earlier was checking with 1.2.0), but still issue is there.

Also attaching the pcap log file captured by n/w team and their observations.

It seems you don't get good signal, you can try to run the AT commands manually. After putting the nRF to full function (i.e. after sending this command AT+CFUN=1 )  send this command -> AT+CESQ  if you get the below response, that shows there is no signal  

+CESQ: 99,99,255,255,255,255

wait for sometime and send the same command until you see response something like below:

+CESQ: 99,99,255,255,31,60  (last two numbers show signal strengths rsrq and rsrp - mapped to numbers from dB

if you still don't get after repeated tries, then you should relocate to different spot and try

Hello,

The network is not working according to specifications as it sends information element (APN aggregate maximum bit rate IE) that contains reserved values. With the fix coming later, the whole IE will be ignored as specified by 3GPP. In other words, currently there should be no UEs behaving according to the values given by network, because the IE should be ignored. The operator should be interested in hearing this.

A fix will be released, however, no timeline is given.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

[Aswin P V]

Thanks a lot for the explanation! We will let the operator know about this. 

Just to get a more clarity on this , the issue is in network operator or nordic or both ? 

[Øyvind]

You're welcome! As far as I understand, this is a little of both, as there will be a fix from our side as well. 

-Øyvind

[Aswin P V]

Thank you!

Is it possible to have some fix/workaround from carrier/network alone? If so what?

[Øyvind]

Is the issue fixed on your side?

[Aswin P V]

Yes! The carrier changed the parameter to the default as per spec and now able to connect to the NB-IoT network. Attaching the final log and trace for reference.

Thanks a lot for the support
