The interface processing subsystem of the BSC provides the Pb or Gb interface, depending on the types of PCU.
l
When the built-in PCU is used, the interface processing subsystem provides the Gb interface to enable the communication between the BSC and the SGSN. When the external PCU is used, the interface processing subsystem provides the Pb interface to enable the communication between the BSC and the PCU.
The interface processing subsystem of the BSC cannot provide the Gb interface and Pb interface simultaneously. The interface processing subsystem supports different transmission modes over the A interface:
l
When the IP transmission is used, the A interface enables the communication between the BSC and the MGW. When the TDM transmission is used, the A interface enables the communication between the BSC and the MSC/MGW.
The interface processing subsystem of the BSC cannot support the two transmission modes simultaneously.
2.3 BSC Software Structure

The software of the BSC has a distributed architecture. It is classified into the host software, OMU software, and LMT software.

About This Chapter
BSC Hardware Configuration
The GBAM and GOMU are the operation and maintenance entities of the BSC. There are two types of BSC hardware configuration: configuration type A and configuration type B. In configuration type A, the BSC is configured with the GBAM. In configuration type B, the BSC is configured with the GOMU. One BSC can use only one configuration type. 3.1 BSC Hardware Configuration This describes three types of BSC subracks, two installation modes of the GTCS, three combination modes of BSC subracks, two types of PCU, and two types of hardware configuration. 3.2 BSC Hardware Configuration Type A The BSC hardware configuration type A refers to the BSC configured with the GBAM, which enables the communication between the BSC and the LMT. The number of BSC cabinets and BSC subracks varies with the capacity requirements for the BSC. 3.3 BSC Hardware Configuration Type B In BSC hardware configuration type B, the BSC is configured with the GOMU, which enables the communication between the BSC and the LMT. The number of BSC cabinets and BSC subracks varies with the capacity requirements for the BSC.

3.1 BSC Hardware Configuration

This describes three types of BSC subracks, two installation modes of the GTCS, three combination modes of BSC subracks, two types of PCU, and two types of hardware configuration.
BSC Subracks
The BSC subracks can be classified into the following types:
l l l
GMPS GEPS GTCS
Generally, both the GMPS and GEPS are referred to as the BM subrack, and the GTCS is referred to as the TC subrack. Both the BM subracks and the TC subracks have two interconnection modes.
l
Inter-Subrack TDM Interconnections The inter-subrack TDM interconnections between one BM subrack and another BM subrack and between one TC subrack and another TC subrack are established through the inter-GTNU cables. For details, refer to 4.1 Physical Structure of the BSC TDM Switching Subsystem.
Inter-Subrack GE Interconnections The GSCUs in the BM subracks or in the TC subracks are connected in star topology. The subrack located in the center of the star topology is referred to as the main subrack, and the subracks connected to the main subrack are referred to as extension subracks. For the intersubrack GE interconnection of BM subracks, the GMPS must be the main subrack, and the GEPS must be the extension subrack. For the inter-subrack GE interconnection of TC subracks, any TC subrack can be the main subrack, and the other TC subracks must be extension subracks. For details, refer to 5.1 Physical Structure of the BSC GE Switching Subsystem.
Installation Modes of the GTCS

The GTCS can be configured on the BSC side and on the MSC side. If the GTCS is installed on the BSC side, the installation mode is referred to as local GTCS. If the GTCS is installed on the MSC side, the installation mode is referred to as remote GTCS.
l
In local GTCS mode, the GSCU in the main GTCS is connected to the GSCU in the GMPS through the crossover cable. Figure 3-1 shows the OM path between the GMPS and the main GTCS in this case. In remote GTCS mode, the GTCS is installed in an independent GBSR and does not share a cabinet with the GMPS/GEPS. In addition, the GSCU in the main GTCS is not connected to the GSCU in the GMPS. Figure 3-2 shows the OM path between the GMPS and the main GTCS in this case.

As shown in Figure 3-1, when OM is performed on the local GTCS, the OM information is carried by the GE link between the GSCU in the GMPS and the GSCU in the main GTCS. The transmission rate is fast. As shown in Figure 3-2, when OM is performed on the remote GTCS, the OM information is carried by the E1/T1 link between the GEIUT/GOIUT in the GMPS and the GEIUT/GOIUT in the main GTCS. The transmission rate is slow. The application scenarios of the local GTCS and remote GTCS are as follows: If the distance between the GSCU in the GMPS and the GSCU in the main GTCS exceeds the maximum length of a crossover cable, the remote GTCS should be configured. Otherwise, the local GTCS should be configured. For example, the crossover cable can be made on site and its maximum length is 100 m. If the distance between the GMPS and the main GTCS exceeds 100 m, the remote GTCS should be configured. Otherwise, the local GTCS should be configured.
Configuration Modes of BSC Subracks

The BSC subracks support the following configuration modes:
Issue 02 (2008-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd 3-3

l
BM/TC separated In BM/TC separated configuration mode, the BSC consists of the GMPS/GEPS and GTCS. The GTCS can be configured on the BSC side or on the MSC side. Characteristics: In this configuration mode, the GTCS can be configured flexibly. The GTCS can be configured in an independent GBSR on the MSC side, thus saving the transmission resources between the BSC and the MSC. The GTCS can be configured on the BSC side and share a cabinet with other subracks.
BM/TC combined In BM/TC combined configuration mode, the TC function is performed by the GMPS or GEPS. When the TC is configured in the GMPS, the subrack is still referred to as the GMPS. When the TC is configured in the GEPS, the subrack is still referred to as the GEPS. In BM/TC combined configuration mode, the TC function is performed by the GDPUX. Characteristics: Compared with the BM/TC separated configuration mode, the BSC in BM/ TC combined configuration mode has a high density of integration. In addition, when the capacity is the same, the BSC in BM/TC combined configuration mode has fewer cabinets and subracks.
A over IP In A over IP configuration mode, the BSC consists of the GMPS/GEPS and is not configured with the GTCS. In this case, layer 3 of the A interface protocol stack uses IP, and the TC function is performed by the MGW. Thus, the GTCS is not required. Characteristics: In A over IP configuration mode, the BSC has few cabinets and subracks. In this case, the BSC must be connected to the Huawei MGW.
Types of PCU
The BSC supports two types of PCU: built-in PCU and external PCU.
l
The external PCU is an independent network element that provides PS service processing functions. It communicates with the BSC over the Pb interface, and communicates with the SGSN over the Gb interface. Characteristics: The external PCU requires a large floor area and is difficult for installation and maintenance.
The built-in PCU is the GDPUP, which provides PS service processing functions. The GDPUP is configured in the GMPS/GEPS. Application scenario: Compared with the external PCU, the built-in PCU is a board that can be installed in a BSC subrack. The built-in PCU features small footprint, easy cabling, and convenient installation and maintenance.
The requirements for the configuration of the PCU vary with the transmission modes over the Abis interface.
l
When the IP protocol is used on layer 3 or HDLC protocol is used on layer 2 of the protocol stack on the Abis interface, the BSC must use the built-in PCU. When TDM transmission is used over the Abis interface, the BSC can use either the builtin PCU or the external PCU.
BSC Hardware Configuration Types

The BSC supports two types of server: GBAM and GOMU. The GBAM/GOMU enables the communication between the Local Maintenance Terminal and the BSC.
3-4 Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd Issue 02 (2008-06-30)

l
The GBAM is independent from the BSC components. It is connected to the GSCU in the GMPS through the FE/GE port. If the GBAM is used, it is configured in subrack 0 of the GBCR. Characteristics: If the GBAM is used, the KVM must be configured to serve as the operating platform for the GBAM. The GBAM occupies a subrack in the GBCR and the cable connection of the GBAM is complex.
The GOMU is a type of board in the BSC. One GOMU occupies two slots. The GOMU should be installed in slots 00 to 03 or slots 20 to 23 in the GMPS. Characteristics: Compared with the GBAM, the GOMU requires a small installation space. In addition, the GOMU features simple cable connection and easy installation and maintenance.
The BSC hardware configuration is classified into configuration type A and configuration type B based on the server used.
l l
In configuration type A, the BSC is configured with the GBAM. In configuration type B, the BSC is configured with the GOMU. Compared with configuration type A, the BSC in configuration type B can save a subrack. In addition, the cable connection is simple and the installation and maintenance is easy.
3.2 BSC Hardware Configuration Type A

The BSC hardware configuration type A refers to the BSC configured with the GBAM, which enables the communication between the BSC and the LMT. The number of BSC cabinets and BSC subracks varies with the capacity requirements for the BSC. 3.2.1 BM/TC Separated (Configuration Type A) In the BM/TC separated (configuration type A), the BSC is configured with the GBAM, and the BM and TC are configured in different subracks. The following describes the maximum, minimum, and recommended configurations. 3.2.2 BM/TC Combined (Configuration Type A) In the BM/TC combined (configuration type A), the BSC is configured with the GBAM, and the BM and TC are configured in the same subrack. The following describes the maximum, minimum, and recommended configurations. 3.2.3 A over IP (Configuration Type A) In the A over IP (configuration type A), the BSC is configured with the GBAM, and IP transmission is used on the A interface. The following describes the maximum, minimum, and recommended configurations.
3.2.1 BM/TC Separated (Configuration Type A)

6.1 Physical Structure of the BSC Service Processing Subsystem

Physically, the BSC service processing subsystem consists of the GDPUP and GDPUX. The number of configured GDPUPs and the number of configured GDPUXs depend on the traffic volume of CS services and PS services.
l
The GDPUP processes PS services. It can be configured in slots 0811 in the GMPS and in slots 0813 in the GEPS.
NOTE
When the HDLC transmission or IP transmission is used on the Abis interface, the external PCU cannot be used. In other words, the BSC must be configured with the GDPUP to process PS services.
l
The GDPUX processes CS services. It can be configured in slots 0811 in the GMPS, in slots 0003, 0813, and 1427 in the GEPS, and in slots 0003 and 0813 in the GTCS. In different configuration modes of the BSC subracks, the GDPUX performs different functions:
In BM/TC separated configuration mode, the GDPUX configured in the GMPS/GEPS performs IP packet-TRAU conversion and forwarding; the GDPUX configured in the GTCS performs voice coding/decoding and rate matching. In BM/TC combined configuration mode, the GDPUX performs IP packet-TRAU conversion, voice coding/decoding, and rate matching. In A over IP configuration mode, the GDPUX performs IP packet-TRAU conversion and forwarding.
Based on the configuration modes of the BSC subracks and different types of PCU, the BSC service processing subsystem comprises different components:

9 BSC Clock Subsystem

About This Chapter
NOTE
BSC Clock Subsystem
The BSC clock subsystem consists of the GGCU and the clock processing unit in each subrack. The clock subsystem provides the reference clock for the BSC and BTS.
If the built-in PCU is used and the Gb interface board is the GEPUG, the GEPUG extracts the line clock signals from the Gb interface. Then, the GEPUG uses the extracted signals to implement synchronization with the SGSN. If the GEIUB/GOIUB/GEHUB is used on the Abis interface, it extracts clock signals from its backplane and provides the clock signals for the BTS. If the GFGUB/GOGUB is used on the Abis interface, it cannot provide clock signals for the BTS.
9.1 BSC Clock Sources The BSC can use two clock sources: BITS clock and line clock. Each clock source either has one backup source or does not have any backup. 9.2 BSC Clock Synchronization This describes the clock synchronization of the BSC subracks.
Issue 02 (2008-06-30)

9.1 BSC Clock Sources

The BSC can use two clock sources: BITS clock and line clock. Each clock source either has one backup source or does not have any backup.
BITS Clock
The BSC extracts the BITS clock signals from a BITS device. There are two types of BITS clock signals: 2 MHz and 2 Mbit/s clock signals. BITS clock signals have two inputs: BITS0 and BITS1. The BSC extracts the BITS clock signals from the clock input ports on the GGCU panel. The clock signals serve as reference clocks for the GMPS/GEPS.
NOTE
l l l
BITS0 and BITS1 correspond to the CLKIN0 and CLKIN1 ports on the GGCU panel respectively. The 2 Mbit/s clock source has a higher anti-interference capability than the 2 MHz clock source. When IP transmission is used over the A interface, the BSC can use only the BITS clock.
Line Clock
Line clock is the 8 kHz clock extracted over the A interface by the GTCS. The line clock has two inputs: LINE0 and LINE1. Based on the configuration modes of the BSC subracks, the BSC uses different methods to obtain the line clock, which are described as follows:
l
In BM/TC separated configuration mode, the GTCS extracts the line clock signals from the A interface. The GGCU extracts the line clock signals from the Ater interface, and then distributes clock signals to the GMPS/GEPS. In BM/TC combined configuration mode, the GMPS extracts the line clock signals from the A interface. Then, the clock signals are transmitted to the GGCU through the backplane. In A over IP configuration mode, the BSC cannot use the line clock.
9.2 BSC Clock Synchronization

This describes the clock synchronization of the BSC subracks.
9-2
Issue 02 (2008-06-30)

NOTE
If the built-in PCU is used and the Gb interface board is GEPUG, the GEPUG traces the clock signal in the SGSN. Then, the corresponding clock serves as the reference clock for the GEPUG. Thus, the GEPUG achieves synchronization with the SGSN. When configuring the SGSN clock for the GEPUG, you should adhere to the following principles:
l l l
Each GEPUG must be configured with the SGSN clock. Each GEPUG should extract the clock signal from the SGSN that is connected to the GEPUG. The clock signal of one GEPUG is independent from that of another GEPUG. If one GEPUG is connected to multiple SGSNs, it traces the clock signal from only one of them. In addition, these SGSNs must use the same clock source.
If the IP transmission is used on the Abis interface, the BSC cannot provide reference clock for the BTS. In this case, the BTS obtains the reference clock through one of the following ways:
l l
The BTS traces the clock of the transport network through an E1/T1 cable. The BTS traces the clock of the IP clock server through an Ethernet cable.
9.2.1 BSC Clock Synchronization (BM/TC Separated) This describes the clock synchronization in the GMPS/GEPS and GTCS. 9.2.2 BSC Clock Synchronization (BM/TC Combined) This describes the clock synchronization in the GMPS/GEPS. 9.2.3 BSC Clock Synchronization (A over IP) This describes the clock synchronization in the GMPS/GEPS.

This describes the clock synchronization in the GMPS/GEPS and GTCS.
Clock Synchronization in the GMPS/GEPS

The clock signals in the GMPS/GEPS are provided by the GGCU. The GGCU either extracts BITS clock signals from the BITS clock equipment or extracts line clock signals from the Ater interface.
l
Figure 9-1 shows the clock synchronization in the GMPS/GEPS when the GGCU extracts BITS clock signals from the BITS clock equipment. Figure 9-2 shows the clock synchronization in the GMPS/GEPS when the GGCU extracts line clock signals from the Ater interface.

As shown in Figure 9-1 and Figure 9-2, the procedure for processing clock signals in the GMPS/ GEPS is as follows: 1. If the clock source is the BITS clock, the BITS clock signals are transmitted to the GGCU through the GGCU panel. If the clock source is the line clock signals, the line clock signals are transmitted to the GEIUT/GOIUT in the GMPS over the Ater interface, and then transmitted to the GGCU through the backplane. The clock signals are phased-locked in the GGCU. Then, the 8 kHz clock signals are generated.
l
2.
In the GMPS, the 8 kHz clock signals are transmitted from the GGCU to the GSCU through the backplane. The 8 kHz clock signals are transmitted from the GGCU panel in the GMPS to the GSCU in the GEPS through a Y-shaped clock cable.
3.
The GSCU in the GMPS/GEPS transmits the 8 kHz clock signals to the other boards in the GMPS/GEPS through the backplane.
Clock Synchronization in the GTCS

The GTCS extracts line clock signals from the A interface. Figure 9-3 shows the clock synchronization in the GTCS. Figure 9-3 Clock synchronization in the GTCS
A Service board G S C U GTCS BSC6000 E1/T1 cable Clock signal G E I U A M S C
The clock signals in the GTCS are processed in the following manner:
1. 2. 3.
The GTCS extracts line clock signals through the A interface. The line clock signals are processed by the GEIUA/GOIUA, and then the 8 kHz clock signals are generated. The backplane in the GTCS transmits the 8 kHz clock signals to the GSCU in the GTCS. Then, the GSCU transmits the 8 kHz clock signals to the other boards in the GTCS. The GEIUT/GOIUT in the main GTCS extracts the 8 kHz clock signals from the backplane, and then transmits the clock signals to the GMPS.

BSC Power Subsystem
The BSC power subsystem adopts dual-circuit redundancy and point-by-point monitoring solution, which is highly reliable. The BSC power subsystem comprises the power lead-in part and the power distribution part.
The power lead-in part leads the power from the DC power distribution cabinet to the power distribution boxes of the BSC cabinet. The power lead-in part consists of the DC power distribution cabinet, power distribution box, and cables between them. At present, the BSC supports two types of power distribution box: common power distribution box and high-power distribution box. Figure 10-1 and Figure 10-2 show the power lead-in parts of the two types of power distribution box. Figure 10-1 Power lead-in part (common power distribution box)

10 BSC Power Subsystem
Figure 10-2 Power lead-in part (high-power distribution box)
The working principle of the power lead-in part is as follows:

l
The DC power distribution cabinet provides each BSC cabinet with two separate 48 V inputs, one route for RTN connection, and one route for PGND connection. Typically, the two routes of power inputs work concurrently. If one route fails, the other route supplies power alone to ensure the stable running of the system. You can repair one faulty route of the two routes when the power is normally supplied, keeping the reliability and availability of the power subsystem at an optimum level.
Power Distribution Part

The power distribution part distributes power from the power distribution box to various parts in the cabinet. It comprises the power distribution box, power distribution switches, and various parts in the cabinet. The working principle of the power distribution part is as follows:
l
The power distribution box provides lightning protection and overcurrent protection for the two 48 V inputs. It then supplies two groups of power to the parts in the BSC. The cabinet operates in the power range 40 V to 57 V. The power distribution box monitors each route of power in real time. Upon detection of abnormal power supply, the power distribution box reports relevant alarms to the LMT. The power distribution differs within different types of cabinet.
For details on the power distribution in the GBCR, refer to Connections of Power Cables and PGND Cables in the GBCR (Configuration Type A) and Connections of Power Cables and PGND Cables in the GBCR (Configuration Type B).

12.2.1 BSC Security Management

The BSC security management involves authority management, log management, and inventory management.
Authority Management
The BSC authority management regulates the operation authority of the users (LMT users or iManager M2000 users) that log in to the BSC. When users log in to the BSC, they actually log in to the GBAM/GOMU of the BSC. The BSC users are classified into the following types:
l
Domain users: These user accounts are created, changed, authenticated, and authorized on the M2000. Domain users can manage the BSC after logging in to the BSC on the LMT (BSC Local Maintenance Terminal or MML client) or after logging in to the M2000 server through the M2000 client. Internal user: There is a default account admin, which has the rights to perform all the operations. You cannot delete this account. External users: The external users are classified into five levels. The users of different levels form different functional groups. The users can perform only the operations defined in their functional groups. The GBAM/GOMU verifies and controls the operation authority of the external users. Table 12-1 defines the authority of the external users that belong to different functional groups.
Table 12-1 Definitions of the BSC user authorities Level Guest User Operator Administrator Custom Authority Browse data In addition to the authority granted to the User, User can perform OM of the equipment, alarm management, and performance management. In addition to the authorities granted to the User, Operator can perform data configuration for the equipment. Administrator has the highest operation authority. It can manage other users. The authority of this user is defined by the Administrator.
Security management also includes NE operation time management. It limits the operation time of users by date, week, and time segment. Users can carry out operations only in the predefined time limit.

Log Management
Log management records and saves the operations performed by an operator and the running information of the BSC. It also helps in analyzing and locating faults. Table 12-2 lists the logs that are recorded when the BSC is running.

12.2.2 BSC Configuration Management

The BSC configuration management involves managing the data configurations of the BSC and of the related BTSs on the LMT. The LMT consists of the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal and the MML client. 12.2.2.1 BSC Data Configuration Modes The BSC data configuration is performed on the LMT (BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal or MML client). Two data configuration modes can be used: offline data configuration and online data configuration. 12.2.2.2 BSC Configuration Data Types Based on the system requirements and the location for saving the data, the BSC configuration data is classified into different types. 12.2.2.3 BSC Data Check The BSC data check consists of the data validity check and data consistency check. 12.2.2.4 BSC Data Synchronization If a data consistency check finds that the data is inconsistent, the BSC data synchronization is enabled to synchronize the data on each board with the data stored in the GBAM/GOMU database.
BSC Data Configuration Modes

The BSC data configuration is performed on the LMT (BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal or MML client). Two data configuration modes can be used: offline data configuration and online data configuration.
12 OM of the BSC
Offline Data Configuration

Offline data configuration is performed when the communication between the LMT and the GBAM/GOMU is not established. Figure 12-3 shows the principle of the offline data configuration on the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal. Figure 12-3 Principle of the offline data configuration

The procedure for the offline data configuration on the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal is as follows: 1. 2. 3. Perform data configuration on the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal, and check that the data is integral and accurate by using the auto check function of the LMT. Save the configuration data on the hard disk with a *.dat file. Send the *.dat file to the GBAM/GOMU database by performing the Load and Restore operation on the LMT. Then, activate the configuration data of each service board.
NOTE
At present, the MML client does not support offline data configuration.
Offline data configuration does not occupy the network bandwidth and it is easy and fast to operate; thus, it applies to initial network operation and network upgrade.
Online Data Configuration

Online data configuration is performed when the communications between the GBAM/GOMU and the relevant BSC boards are established. On the LMT, you can modify the data configuration of the BSC and the related BTSs. In online data configuration, the configured data takes effect immediately. Figure 12-4 shows the principle of the online data configuration.

GBAM/GOMU
The procedure of the online data configuration in the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal is as follows: 1. 2. You can issue configuration commands to the configuration module of the GBAM/GOMU through the LMT. On receiving the configuration commands, the configuration module sends the configuration data to the database of a specified service board and writes the configuration data in the database of the GBAM/GOMU.
After you log in to the BSC through the BSC6000 Local Maintenance Terminal and perform data configurations, other users are forbidden to perform data configurations simultaneously. In case that multiple LMTs have accessed the GBAM/GOMU and one LMT has performed data configuration, the rest LMTs will detect the data changed in the GBAM and prompt you to update the local data to keep the consistency of the data between the LMTs and the GBAM/GOMU. After you log in to the BSC through the MML client and run configuration commands in succession, other users are allowed to perform data configurations simultaneously. After you log in to the BSC through the MML client and run configuration commands in batch, other users are forbidden to perform data configurations simultaneously.
BSC Configuration Data Types

Based on the system requirements and the location for saving the data, the BSC configuration data is classified into different types. The BSC configuration data is classified into LMT configuration data, GBAM configuration data, and GOMU configuration data in terms of the data location.
l
LMT configuration data In offline configuration mode, you can configure the BSC data by using the data configuration wizards, and then save the configuration data in the LMT memory. You can save the configuration data by backing up the local data.
Based on the hardware configuration types, the BSC configuration data is classified into the GBAM configuration data and GOMU configuration data.
GBAM configuration data: The data, saved in the GBAM memory database and on the GBAM hard disk, provides the basis for the operation of the GBAM. After dynamic configuration, the GBAM updates the data in the memory database and the data files on the hard disk.
12-8
12 OM of the BSC
GOMU configuration data: The data, saved in the database of the GOMU memory, provides the basis for the operation of the GOMU. After dynamic configuration, the GOMU updates the data in the GOMU memory database.
Based on system requirements, the BSC configuration data is classified into the minimum configuration data and the dynamic configuration data.
l
Minimum configuration data The minimum configuration data is provided by the system automatically and is saved in the directory HW LMT\software version\Cfg\SysData. The configured data is the minimum configuration data for the normal operation of the LMT in offline mode. The minimum configuration data of the GBAM and GOMU is mini_Cfg_lmt12.DAT and mini_Cfg_lmt0.DAT respectively.
Dynamic configuration data The dynamic configuration data is generated on the GBAM/GOMU when you perform configurations on the LMT in online mode.
NOTE
The files in the directory \HW LMT\software version\Cfg\SysData are mandatory for the normal operation of the LMT. The files cannot be modified or deleted.
BSC Data Check

The BSC data check consists of the data validity check and data consistency check.
BSC Data Validity Check

The BSC data validity check function is used to check whether configuration commands comply with the configuration rules and the related syntactic rules. The BSC data validity check is performed on the basis of the following aspects: whether a configuration complies with the configuration rules and whether an MML script file complies with the syntactic rules. When a configuration is performed or an MML command is run, the BSC performs data validity check. If the check result shows that the configuration is incorrect or the MML command does not run properly, the BSC terminates the configuration or the running of the command. At the same time, a warning message is displayed.
BSC Data Consistency Check

The BSC data consistency check consists of the following aspects:
l
Check of the data consistency between the active and standby GOMUs If the BSC is configured with the active and standby GOMUs, the data on the active GOMU must be the same as that on the standby GOMU, thus ensuring the reliability of the BSC. If the active GOMU is faulty, the standby GOMU takes over the work of the active GOMU after an active/standby switchover.
Check of the data consistency between the GBAM/GOMU and the other boards If the data on a service board is inconsistent with that on the GBAM/GOMU, the system cannot run stably. In addition, some data configured on the LMT cannot take effect on the host. Figure 12-5 shows the procedure of the BSC data consistency check.

Result file of data consistency check
The procedure of the BSC data consistency check is as follows: 1. 2. 3. You can issue a data consistency check command to the GBAM/GOMU on the LMT. The GBAM/GOMU analyzes the parameters of the command and checks whether the data in the board database is consistent with that in the GBAM/GOMU database. When the comparison is complete, the GBAM/GOMU generates a result file and sends it to the LMT.
BSC Data Synchronization

If a data consistency check finds that the data is inconsistent, the BSC data synchronization is enabled to synchronize the data on each board with the data stored in the GBAM/GOMU database. If a data consistency check finds that the data is inconsistent, you can perform synchronization operations on the LMT to ensure the data consistency. The data on each board should be consistent with the data in the GBAM/GOMU database; the data on the standby GOMU should be consistent with the data on the active GOMU. Figure 12-6 shows the BSC data synchronization procedure. Figure 12-6 BSC data synchronization procedure
Synchronization command LMT GBAM/GOMU Database Data files Board Database
The BSC data synchronization procedure is as follows:

12 OM of the BSC
1. 2. 3.
You can issue a synchronization command to the GBAM/GOMU on the LMT. The GBAM/GOMU analyzes the parameters of the command and synchronizes the data on each board with the data in the GBAM/GOMU database. Once the update is complete, the GBAM/GOMU sends the synchronization result to the LMT.
12.2.3 BSC Performance Management

The BSC performance management involves collecting, analyzing, and querying performance data. The performance measurement results generated within the latest 15 days will be stored by the BSC and those beyond the latest 15 days will be deleted. Figure 12-7 illustrates the BSC performance management process. Figure 12-7 BSC performance management process
GBAM/GOMU M2000 server Performance measurement module Collected data

Service board
By default, the BSC performance management process is as follows: 1. 2. You can register a measurement task and specify the object, time, and item attributes of the task on the iManager M2000 client. Based on the measurement task, the iManager M2000 server modifies the measurement task file, sends it to the GBAM/GOMU, and issues a command to activate the modified measurement task file. Based on the modified measurement task file, the GBAM/GOMU notifies service boards to collect data based on the new requirements. The GBAM/GOMU receives the measurement results from the service boards and saves them as files. The GBAM/GOMU notifies the iManager M2000 server of the measurement results and uploads the files to the iManager M2000 server. The iManager M2000 server processes the files and saves them to the database. Based on the measurement task registered by the M2000 client, the iManager M2000 server extracts the relevant results from the database, calculates them, and sends them to the M2000 client.

12.2.4 BSC Alarm Management

The BSC alarm management involves monitoring the operating status of the BSC and reporting alarm information in real time. Therefore, you can take appropriate measures in time.
12 OM of the BSC
BSC Alarm Management

The BSC alarm management has the following functions:
l
Alarm filtering The BSC can filter the repetitive fault alarms, recovery alarms, and event alarms. Alarm shielding Operators can shield an alarm by alarm ID. Alternatively, they can shield a specific alarm or all alarms of a cell, BTS, or board by setting alarm shielding conditions, thus reducing the number of reported derivative alarms.
Alarm alert When a fault alarm occurs, the BSC can notify the operators by Email, icon flash, phone, short message, terminal sound, audible and visual indication of alarm box.
Alarm information processing You can browse alarm information in real time, query history alarm information, and handle alarms based on the handling suggestions available from the online help of the BSC. The BSC can store 100, 000 pieces of history alarm information generated in the latest 90 days.
BSC Alarm Management Mechanism

The alarm management process consists of alarm generation, alarm reporting, and alarm handling. Figure 12-8 shows the alarm management process of the BSC. Figure 12-8 Alarm management process of the BSC

Each board detects and reports alarms to the GBAM/GOMU automatically. The GBAM/GOMU classifies these alarms into different levels and sends them to the LMT or to the M2000 server. You can manage the alarms using the LMT or the M2000 client. The alarm management module of the GBAM/GOMU performs the following functions:
l
Alarm storage The alarm management module of the GBAM/GOMU stores the alarms reported by each board in the GBAM/GOMU alarm database.
Alarm processing
12-12
12 OM of the BSC
The alarm management module of the GBAM processes the operation commands from the LMT or M2000 client. There commands include querying active alarms, querying alarm logs, and modifying alarm configuration items.
Driving of the Alarm Box

The alarm box generates audible and visual alarms. The red, orange, yellow, and green alarm indicators on the alarm box corresponds to the critical, major, minor, and warning alarms. Different alarm severity levels have different alarm sounds. Figure 12-9 shows the working principle of the alarm box that is connected to the LMT. Figure 12-9 Working principle of the alarm box
GBAM/GOMU Alarm management module Alarm box LMT
Convert
The alarm box is connected to the LMT or GBAM/GOMU/M2000 through the serial port. When an alarm is reported, the alarm forward management module in the LMT instructs the alarm box to generate an audible and visual alarm. You can stop alarm sounds, disable alarm indicators, and reset the alarm box through the LMT.
NOTE
One LMT can be connected to only one alarm box.
12.2.5 BSC Loading Management

The BSC loading management involves managing the process of loading programs or data files to boards after the BSC subracks are started or restarted.
BSC Loading System

The GBAM/GOMU, the GSCU in the GMPS, and the GSCU in the main GTCS play important roles during the BSC loading process.
l
The GBAM/GOMU serves as the center of the entire BSC loading management process. The loading and power-on of the GBAM/GOMU are independent of other boards. The GBAM/GOMU processes the loading control requests of the GSCU in the GMPS. The GSCU in the GMPS serves as the subcenter of the BSC loading management process. It processes the loading control requests of the service boards in the GMPS and GEPS. If the OM link between the GMPS and the main GTCS is normal, the GSCU in the GMPS processes all the loading control requests from the service boards in all the GTCSs. The GSCU in the main GTCS serves as the subcenter of the GTCS loading management process. If the OM link between the GMPS and the main GTCS is disconnected, the GSCU in the main GTCS processes all the loading control requests from the service boards in all the GTCSs.

In BM/TC separated configuration mode, the GTCS is configured on the BSC side. For the BSC loading process in this case, see Figure 12-10. In BM/TC separated configuration mode, the GTCS is configured on the MSC side, and the OM link on the Ater interface serves as the loading path. For the BSC loading process in this case, see Figure 12-11. Figure 12-12 shows the BSC loading process in BM/TC combined or A over IP configuration mode.

Assume that in BM/TC separated configuration mode, the GTCS is configured on the BSC side, as shown in Figure 12-10. In this case, the BSC loading process is described as follows: 1. After the GSCU in the GMPS is started, it broadcasts the BOOTP request to the GBAM/ GOMU.
Issue 02 (2008-06-30)
12 OM of the BSC
l l
If the GBAM/GOMU is communicating with the LMT, it processes the request. If the GBAM/GOMU is not started or does not communicate with the LMT, the GSCU in the GMPS loads program files from the Flash.
2.
After receiving the BOOTP request, the GBAM/GOMU writes the Load Key, IP address, and version information into the BOOTP acknowledge message, which is then transmitted to the GSCU. On receiving the BOOTP acknowledgement message, the GSCU in the GMPS loads the program files and data files according to the Load Key. The GSCU in the GMPS forwards the BOOTP requests from other boards in the GEPS or GTCS to the GBAM/GOMU. After receiving the BOOTP requests, the GBAM/GOMU sends acknowledgment messages to the other boards. On receiving the acknowledgement messages, the other boards load the program files and data files according to the Load Keys. The BSC loading process is complete.

12.2.6 BSC Upgrade Management

The BSC can be upgraded to a later version. The BSC upgrade management involves the management of the procedures for upgrading the OMU software, LMT software, and patch software. The BSC supports two upgrade modes: remote upgrade and local upgrade. The BSC upgrade process is as follows: 1. 2. 3. Backing up the data configuration file Back up the data configuration file on the LMT before upgrade. Upgrading the LMT software of the BSC Install the latest LMT software. Upgrading the OMU software on the GBAM/GOMU Uninstall the running OMU software, install the latest OMU software, and then start the OMU software. 4. 5. Restoring data On the LMT, load the data configuration file that is backed up before upgrade. Upgrading the board software Load software to the boards in the GMPS, GEPS, and GTCS. The operation order is as follows: GMPS, GTCS that matches the GMPS, GEPS, and GTCS that matches the GEPS. 6. 7. 8. Upgrading the level-2 BIOS of the board On the LMT, load the latest BIOS files from the GBAM/GOMU to the boards. Upgrading patch software On the LMT, load, activate, and run patch software. Upgrading software license On the LMT, upgrade and activate the software license.
NOTE
If no patch software needs to be upgraded, you can skip this step during the BSC upgrade.

12.2.7 BTS Loading Management

The BTS loading management involves managing the process of loading software to the boards in the BTS. The process of the BTS loading management is as follows: 1. 2. After being started, the BTS broadcasts the BOOTP request over the OML. The BOOTP request message contains the BTS type, software type, and the software version in the flash. On receiving the BOOTP request, the GSCU in the subrack where the Abis interface board connected to the BTS is installed, transparently transmits this request to the GSCU in the GMPS if the subrack is not the GMPS. The GSCU in the GMPS returns a BOOTP response to the BTS, instructing the BTS board to obtain and load the program file from the flash. After the program file is run, the board sends a LOAD request to the GSCU in the GMPS. The LOAD request is used to query the file list of the board (excluding the program file). The GSCU in the GMPS responds with a file list, upon which the BTS board returns the version information of the files concerning the board to the GSCU in the GMPS. The GSCU in the GMPS compares the version information and then returns the file information to be updated and the IP address of the GBAM/GOMU, to the board. The BTS board loads the program file from the version area in the GBAM/GOMU.
3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
12.2.8 BTS Upgrade Management

The BTS can be upgraded a later version. You can locally or remotely upgrade multiple BTSs on the LMT/M2000 through the BSS OM network. The BSC upgrade process is as follows: 1. Downloading BTS software (1) The LMT/M2000 issues a download request command to the GBAM/GOMU. The download request contains the parameters such as software name and FTP address. (2) Upon reception of the response from the GBAM/GOMU, the LMT/M2000 downloads the BTS software to a specified directory in the GBAM/GOMU through the FTP. 2. Configuring BTS software (1) The LMT/M2000 issues a configuration command to the GBAM/GOMU. The configuration command contains a BTS software list, which contains the parameters such as BTS type, file type, and version number. (2) The GBAM/GOMU saves the BTS software list in the memory database. 3. Loading BTS software (1) The LMT/M2000 issues loading commands to the GBAM/GOMU. The loading commands contain the parameters such as BTS type, file type, and version number. (2) The GBAM/GOMU compares the parameters in the loading command with those in the BTS software list in the database of its memory.
l
If the parameters are consistent, the GBAM/GOMU responds to the loading request. If the parameters are inconsistent, the GBAM/GOMU rejects the loading request. The loading of BTS software terminates.
Issue 02 (2008-06-30)
12 OM of the BSC
(3) The LMT/M2000 sends data frames to the BTS. The data frames are saved in the flash of the BTS boards. Upon reception of each 20 frames, the BTS returns the GBAM/ GOMU with a response until the loading is completed. 4. Activating BTS software (1) The LMT/M2000 issues an activating command to the GBAM/GOMU. The activating command contains the parameters such as BTS type, file type, and version number. (2) The GBAM/GOMU analyzes the parameters in the activating command and issues the activating command to the relevant BTS boards. (3) The BTS boards obtain data and software information from the flash. 5. Verifying upgrade result You should verify the services to ensure that the BTS is successfully upgraded.

About This Chapter
BSC Signal Flow
The BSC signal flow consists of the CS service signal flow, PS service signal flow, signaling flow, and OM signal flow. 13.1 BSC CS Signal Flow After a CS call is established, the MS and the network communicate with each other. In this case, the signal flow is referred to as the CS signal flow. The method of processing the BSC CS signal flow varies with the transmission modes adopted on the Abis interface and the A interface, and also varies with the combination modes of BSC subracks. 13.2 BSC PS Signal Flow After a PS communication is established, the MS and the network communicate with each other. In this case, the signal flow is referred to as the PS signal flow. The method of processing the BSC PS signal flow varies with the types of PCU and with the transmission modes on the Abis interface. 13.3 BSC Signaling Flow The BSC signaling flow consists of the signaling flow on the Abis interface, A interface, Pb interface, and Gb interface. 13.4 BSC OM Signal Flow The BSC OM signal flow is initiated when you operate and maintain the BSC. The BSC OM signal flow varies with the combination modes of the BSC subracks.

Abis over TDM + A over TDM

In BM/TC separated configuration mode, the TDM transmission is used on both the Abis interface and the A interface. For the BSC CS signal flow in this case, see Figure 13-1. Figure 13-1 CS signal flow (1)

As shown in Figure 13-1, the CS signal flow in the uplink is as follows: 1. 2. 3. The uplink CS signals are sent from the BTS to the GEIUB/GOIUB in the GMPS/GEPS. The CS signals are demultiplexed in the GEIUB/GOIUB. One CS signal uses a 64 kbit/s timeslot and is transmitted to the GEIUT/GOIUT through the GTNU. The CS signals are multiplexed in the GEIUT/GOIUT. One full-rate CS signal uses a 16 kbit/s sub-timeslot, and one half-rate CS signal uses an 8 kbit/s sub-timeslot. The CS signals are then transmitted to the GEIUT/GOIUT in the GTCS over the Ater interface. The CS signals are de-multiplexed in the GEIUT/GOIUT of the GTCS. One CS signal uses a 64 kbit/s timeslot and is transmitted to the GDPUX through the GTNU. The GDPUX performs voice coding/decoding and rate matching on the CS signals, which are converted into 64 kbit/s PCM signals. The 64 kbit/s PCM signals are transmitted to the GEIUA/GOIUA through the GTNU, and then are transmitted to the MSC over the A interface.

13 BSC Signal Flow
As shown in Figure 13-5, the CS signal flow in the uplink is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. The uplink CS signals are sent from the BTS to the GEIUB/GOIUB in the GMPS/GEPS. The CS signals are de-multiplexed in the GEIUB/GOIUB. One CS signal uses a 64 kbit/s timeslot and is transmitted to the GDPUX through the GTNU. The GDPUX converts the CS signals into RTP frames, compresses the redundant information, eliminates jitter, and handles delay. The GSCU transmits the CS signals to the GFGUA/GOGUA, which are then transmitted to the MGW over the A interface.
Abis over HDLC/IP + A over IP

The HDLC/IP transmission and IP transmission are used on the Abis interface and A interface respectively. For the BSC CS signal flow in this case, see Figure 13-6. Figure 13-6 CS signal flow (6)

GMPS/GEPS BSC6000
As shown in Figure 13-6, the CS signal flow in the uplink is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. The uplink CS signals are sent from the BTS to the GFGUB/GOGUB in the GMPS/GEPS. The GFGUB/GOGUB encapsulates the CS signals in GTRAU frames, which are then transmitted to the GDPUX through the GSCU. The GDPUX converts the GTRAU frames into RTP frames, eliminates jitter, and performs delay processing. The GSCU transmits the CS signals to the GFGUA/GOGUA, which are then transmitted to the MGW over the A interface.
13.2 BSC PS Signal Flow

After a PS communication is established, the MS and the network communicate with each other. In this case, the signal flow is referred to as the PS signal flow. The method of processing the BSC PS signal flow varies with the types of PCU and with the transmission modes on the Abis interface.

The BSC PS signal flow varies with the transmission modes on the Abis interface. The built-in PCU is used and the TDM transmission is used on the Abis interface.

GMPS/GEPS BSC6000
When the built-in PCU is used, the PS signal flow on the uplink is as follows: 1. The packet data is sent from the BTS to the GEIUB in the GMPS/GEPS. The packet data uses one to four 16 kbit/s sub-timeslots on the Abis interface, depending on the modulation and coding scheme, such as CS1-CS9 or MCS1MCS9. The GEIUB transmits the packet data to the GTNU. After receiving the data, the GTNU transmits the signals to the GDPUP. The GDPUP performs format conversion, and then transmits the data to the GEPUG/ GFGUG through the GSCU. The GEPUG/GFGUG processes the packet data at layer 1 and at a part of the NS layer on the Gb interface. Then, the packet data is transmitted to the SGSN over the Gb interface.

14.1 Transmission and Networking on the Abis Interface

This describes the networking between the BSC and the BTS. Three transmission modes can be used over the Abis interface: Abis over TDM, Abis over HDLC, and Abis over IP.
Transmission Modes on the Abis Interface

The following transmission modes can be used on the Abis interface:
l
Abis over TDM Abis over TDM indicates that the TDM transmission is used on the Abis interface. In this case, the Abis interface board is the GEIUB/GOIUB, and the transmission network between the BSC and the BTS is the SDH/PDH network.
Abis over HDLC Abis over HDLC indicates that layer 2 of the Abis interface protocol stack uses the HDLC protocol. In this case, the Abis interface board is the GEHUB, and the transmission network between the BSC and the BTS is the SDH/PDH network.
Abis over IP Abis over IP indicates that layer 3 of the Abis interface protocol stack uses the IP protocol. In this case, the Abis interface board is the GFGUB/GOGUB, and the transmission network between the BSC and the BTS is the IP network.
NOTE
Except that the Abis interface boards are different, the BSC PS signal flow in Abis over HDLC mode is the same as that in Abis over IP mode.
Abis over TDM

In Abis over TDM networking mode, the Abis interface board in the BSC is the GEIUB/GOIUB, which provides E1/T1 ports and STM-1 ports.

NOTE
If the BTSs connected to the BSC are distributed on different PDH/SDH rings, additional ADM/DXC devices should be used.
Advantages: The networking mode features maturity, flexible QoS, and security. Telecom operators can make full use of the SDH/PDH transmission network resources. Disadvantages: Compared with the IP transmission networking mode, the cost of this networking mode is high.
Abis over HDLC

The Abis over TDM and Abis over HDLC networking modes can be used on the Abis interface simultaneously. In Abis over HDLC networking mode, the Abis interface board in the BSC is the GEHUB, which provides E1/T1 ports. In the E1/T1-based HDLC networking on the Abis interface, the BSC can be connected to the Hub BTS or to the BTS that supports the HDLC transmission, as shown in Figure 14-3.

Advantages: If the Abis over HDLC networking mode is used, the utilization of the transmission resources over the Abis interface is improved without reconstruction of the existing SDH/PDH networks. Disadvantages: The Abis over HDLC networking mode, however, does not support the ring topology of the BTS.
Abis over IP
In the Abis over IP networking mode, the Abis interface board in the BSC is the GFGUB/ GOGUB. Based on the transmission networks, the Abis over IP networking modes can be classified into the following types:
