Symptoms

On Oracle Communications Network Charging and Control (NCC) 12.0.2.0.0 version,

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
----------------------------

The Short Message Service (SMS) integration over diameter is providing location information using the 3GPP parameter Originator-SCCP-Address Attribute-Value-Pair (AVP). The specification indicates the encoding is as follows:

The Address Type discriminator in RFC 3588 [401] is set to value 8, E.164, and the address information is UTF8 encoded.

So, for an address of "399999999" for example, the encoded value would be 00083339393939393939 in hex. However, NCC fails to decode this message, treat this as corrupt and throws the below Error:

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
--------------------------------

The PICS lists the AVP as "compliant by configuration" so it should be possible, it certainly works if the IPv4 address type discriminator is used.
