Why does HL8548-G cut the TCP connection after GPS is used?

fyusuke · December 16, 2018, 2:31am

I couldn’t solve this problem. Please give me any advice.

I want to execute the following things
①Open a TCP connection
AT+KTCPCLOSE=1
AT+KTCPDEL=1
AT+CGATT=0
AT+KCNXCFG=1,“GPRS”,“xxx.com”,"xx@xxx.com",“xxx”
AT+CGDCONT=4,“IP”,“xxx.com”
AT+KCNXPROFILE=1
AT+KGNSSAD=1
AT+CGATT=1
AT+KTCPCFG=1,0,“some_url”,some_port
AT+KCNXUP=1
AT+KTCPCNX=1

②Turn on GPS function and receive NEMA data
AT+GPSNMEA=01,1
AT+GPSSTART=0
[NEMA data storing process]

③Turn off the GPS function
AT+GPSSTOP
AT+GPSNMEA=01,0

④Send NEMA data on TCP connection
AT+KTCPSND=1,[word count]
[Data sending process]

In this flow, TCP connection is cut on process④
Data can be sent if I do process④ after I redo process① right before process④
Why does this happen?
How can I use GPS function without cutting TCP connection?

Hi fyusuke,

I cannot see your issue my side (I test with v5.5.24.2).
Could you kindly to show me your full AT log with the following?

ATI3
AT+CGREG?
AT+CGDCONT=4,“IP”,“xxx”
AT+KCNXCFG=1,“GPRS”,“xxx”
AT+GPSSUPLCFG=0,“suplcn.sirf.com”,7276,1,0
AT+GPSSUPLCFG?

AT+KTCPCFG=1,0,“xx.xx.xx.xxx”,5045
AT+KCNXUP=1
AT+KTCPCNX=1
AT+GPSNMEA=01 //NMEA output on UART1
AT+GPSSTART=0
AT+CGDCONT?
AT+CGPADDR
AT+GPSSTOP
AT+KTCPSND=1,10

I replaced suplcn.sirf.com with suplcn.sirf。com because new user can post only two links. I can write “.com” only two times.

Sierra_klin1 · December 28, 2018, 6:21am

Hi fyusuke,

Please check result of AT+KIPOPT? and pay attention to the following settings:
AT+KIPOPT=3,<stop_on_error>,<stop_on_peer>
Suggest to set AT+KIPOPT=3,0,0.

<stop_on_error> PDP connection deactivation behavior when a session is closed due to any error
0 Do not request to stop the connection
1 Request to stop the connection

<stop_on_peer> PDP connection deactivation behavior when a session is closed by a peer/server
0 Do not request to stop the connection
1 Request to stop the connection

fyusuke · December 31, 2018, 4:46am

Thank you for your advice.
I checked it and result is following

+KIPOPT: 0,"TCPS",1,0,0

+KIPOPT: 0,"UDPC",2,1020,1020

OK

It seems to be OK.

fyusuke · December 31, 2018, 1:48pm

I checked if the server receives the data when I send data after GPS func is used, and it doesn’t. However, it does, when I skipped the GPS func at command. why…

Sierra_klin1 · January 2, 2019, 6:20am

Hi fyusuke,
I just noticed that with your SIM/Network, it seems the fixed and only ONE IP 100.90.200.180 is allocated for the PDP context #1 and #4. That’s why when the AGPS finished the connection(PDP#4), the TCP(PDP#1) is released as well.
AT+CGDCONT?
+CGDCONT: 1,“IP”,“xxxcom”,“100.90.200.180”,0,0
+CGDCONT: 4,“IP”,“xxxcom”,“0.0.0.0”,0,0
OK
+GPSEVSTART: 1
+GPSEVPOS: 0
AT+CGPADDR
+CGPADDR: 4,“100.90.200.180”
OK
The solution could be:
1） Disable the AGPS
AT+CGDCONT=4
AT+GPSSUPLCFG=0,“suplcn.sirf.com”,7276,0,0 // as 0(SUPL disable) for URC
2） Start the TCP after AGPS.

fyusuke · January 2, 2019, 1:05pm

Hi, Sierra_lin1

I see. What about the result with YOUR SIM. Is this problem caused by my SIM network, or the device itself?

HI, Sierra_klin1

I used cold start in GPS func, but still error happens. I used the following at commands.

I don’t want to use AGPS. Are the following command correct?

AT
AT&K3
ATE0
AT+KTCPCLOSE=1
AT+KTCPDEL=1
AT+GPSSTOP
ATI3
AT+CGREG?
AT+CGDCONT=4,“IP”,“xxxcom”

// AT+GPSSUPLCFG=0,“suplcn.sirf。com”,7276,1,0 SKIP THIS AT COMMAND
AT+GPSSUPLCFG?
AT+CGDCONT?
AT+KTCPCFG=1,0,“xxxxxxxxcom”,1883
AT+KCNXUP=1
AT+KTCPCNX=1 // around here, the server detects a new connection
AT+GPSNMEA=01
AT+GPSSTART=3 // CHANGE: 3 means cold start

Hi fyusuke,

To disable the AGPS, please send:
AT+CGDCONT=4 //Delete the APN to disable SUPL
AT+GPSSUPLCFG=0,“suplcn.sirf.com”,7276,0,0 //0: disable SUPL URC
