SO_RAI_NO_DATA still does not cause RRC release

Issue is related to  RE: NRF_SO_RAI_NO_DATA does not cause RRC release in SLM/nrf9160 without send 

Just after AT#XSOCKETOPT=1,50 modem should negotiate RRC Release, but it is not the case.

NCS v2.3 nrf9160_1.3.4

Serial LTE Modem, prj.conf changes:
CONFIG_SLM_START_SLEEP=y

CONFIG_SLM_INDICATE_PIN=2

  • SO_RAI_LAST and an own "empty message" works as workaround.
    But SO_RAI_NO_DATA should still be fixed.

    As you can see from AT dialogue, UDP socket is "connected" (without any IP traffic).
    As you can see from modem trace, stack is not sending any empty message after SO_RAI_NO_DATA.

    HPPLMN search does not apply because Vodafone CZ uses 90128 for home NB IoT (all Vodafone CZ NB IoT SIMs are 90128 - i.e. "roaming"), so it is the highest priority PLMN already.

    Since SO_RAI_NO_DATA  and SO_RAI_ONE_RESP work reliably like a charm, I see no reason why SO_RAI_LAST should struggle with  HPPLMN search  or another corner strange causes. You can see from LTE RRC/NAS signaling (Modem Trace) that it is not the case also.

  • Sorry, my writing was misleading. 

    The topic SO_RAI_NO_DATA or SO_RAI_LAST is separated from the HPPLMN search.

    Last year I also wasn't able to get SO_RAI_NO_DATA working. I read "somewhere", that the implementation of SO_RAI_NO_DATA will use "SO_RAI_LAST with an injected/additional empty message", but that may be wrong. We will see, if it works once upon a day.

    > HPPLMN search does not apply because Vodafone CZ uses 90128 for home NB IoT (all Vodafone CZ NB IoT SIMs are 90128 - i.e. "roaming"), so it is the highest priority PLMN already.

    "COPS?" reports in your log PLMN 23003, and not 90123. I understand of course your writing and your interpretation, I share that. But, if you read carefully the link to the other discussion I provided, you will see, Nordic has a different interpretation! Since mfw 1.3.2 Nordic DOES a HPPLMN search for the "90123", because "23003" is not the same. It depends now mainly on your search interval, how often that happen. And you select the bands, so the search may be faster. But again, Nordic decided with mfw 1.3.2 to search for the "90123", if "23003" is reported as PLMN.

    My IMSI starts with 90140 and my reported PLMN was 26201. With a search interval of 2h, I can see such a HPPLMN search every 2h. Unfortunately, you don't get events for that, you only see the larger power consumption and the "sleep event" is delayed (in my case about 60s).

     

  • Hi,

    I have made an internal inquiry related to SO_RAI_NO_DATA to our developers. I will get back to you when I get more information.

    Best regards,
    Dejan

  • Hi,

    Unless Release-14 RAI is supported by the network and enabled by the device the "immediate release" does not take place. In your case, the network did not activate AS-RAI. In addition, eNB did not request form UE to provide its capabilities. Therefore, UE did not get an opportunity to notify eNB about its support for R14 AS-RAI.

    Best regards,
    Dejan

  • So, if AS-RAI is not supported by the network operator, SO_RAI_LAST is working, but SO_RAI_NO_DATA not?
