name: TCE
full_form: Trace Collection Entity
context: Entity (TCE), so we list various possibilities for TCE ownership and control in a RAN sharing environment. In all these possibilities we assume that the TCE under question is directly "reachable" from the eNB that retrieved the UE data. Multiple "relay" scenarios are possible, but these add complexity and may be interpreted in a way that the first TCE in a "relay" chain has the full control over data and any forwarding decision is outside of MDT scope (e.g. similar to a case where operator "sells" the collected data to a third party). Here we list various possibilities for TCE ownership and control. 2. TCE possibilities (assuming that these are all directly reachable from the eNB): 2.1 Both operators A and B have (and fully control) their own TCEs 2.2 Only operator A has his own TCE and fully controls it 2.3 Only operator B has his own TCE and fully controls it 2.4 Both operators A and B share the same TCE (share control and have access to all data) 2.5 Neither operator A nor B have
description: The Trace Collection Entity (TCE) is a network function responsible for collecting and managing trace data in the RAN sharing environment. It plays a crucial role in controlling and forwarding collected data, ensuring that it reaches its intended destination.
explanation: Based on the context from 3GPP TS 32.851, section 4.1.7.2.1, TCE is classified as a Network Function due to its involvement in collecting, managing, and controlling trace data within the network.
