Normalization CDR

General information
Before come into detailed description some clarification regarding CDR
(Call Details Record), CDR format etc needed.
Here in Aircel Limited Ericsson switch has been used and the CDR format
for Ericsson switch is ASN.1 Format.
ASN.1CDR format is normally supported by the TAG-LENGTH-VALUE
combination. The CDR is started with the conventional CDR starter A0 and
it is followed by the length of the CDR. After that the different CDR types
are identified by the CDR Tag (A0 for transit, A1 for originating etc). The
different fields appear in the order of Tag first then the length of the field and
that follows the field values.
The CDR Types, which are actually may generated here in Aircel Limited,
are:

a) 0xA0 : TRANSIT: NON MOBILE CALLS THRU MSC

b) 0xA1 : MS ORIGINATING
c) 0xA2 : ROAMING CALL FORWARDING
d) 0xA3 : ONLY CALL FORWARDING
e) 0xA4 : MS TERMINATING
f) 0xA5 : MS ORIGINATING SMS IN MSC
g) 0xA6 : MS ORIGINATING SMS IN SMS-IWMSC
h) 0xA7 : MS TERMINATING SMS IN MSC
i) 0xA8 : MS TERMINATING SMS IN SMS-GMSC
j) 0xA9 : SS SUBSCRIBER PROCEDURE

Length Calculation:
ASN.1 Format follows this logic for finding length of data.
If next byte of TAG is 0x80 or 0x81 then next one byte is for length,
If next byte of TAG is 0x82 then next two byte is for length,
If next byte is other than those value the that byte itself is for length.

Here is an example for reading HEX CDR:

CDR Tag :: A0
82 ==> Length of Data ==> 014C ==> 332

INSEDE THE PROGRAM

Inside the program, we calculate according to tag length value and

then converting the particular values to ASCII format with the c++
functions the we are sending it to different deliverable files.
