7.6 Configuring the Clocks

This section describes how to configure the BSC6900 clocks. You need to configure the clock source of the interface board, clock source of the system, and working mode of the system clock source.
Prerequisite
Context
You need to determine the clock source of the interface board, clock source of the system, and working mode of the system clock source through network planning. The line clock is the 8 kHz clock transmitted from the interface board to the GCUa board. Therefore, when the system uses the line clock, a clock source needs to be configured for the interface board. l In BM/TC combined configuration mode, the A interface board of the MPS needs to be configured with a clock source. In addition, the link number for the clock source needs to be specified, and the backplane 8 kbit/s clock output switch needs to be turned on. In BM/TC separated configuration mode, the interface boards in both the TCS and MPS need to be configured with clock sources. In the case of the TCS, the A interface board of the TCS needs to be configured with a clock source. In addition, the link number for the clock source needs to be specified, and the backplane 8 kbit/s clock output switch needs to be turned on. If multiple TCSs are configured, the A interface board of each TCS needs to be configured with the line clock.
In the case of the MPS, the Ater interface board of the MPS needs to be configured with a clock source. In addition, the link number for the clock source needs to be specified, and the backplane 8 kbit/s clock output switch needs to be turned on. l If the BSC6900 is configured with FR-based Gb interface boards and the SGSN and MSC use different clock sources, set Use SGSN clock source to Yes. Configure the clock source for the Gb interface boards. Set Port for LINE1 and Back-up port for LINE1 to the port number of the bearer channel (BC).
NOTE
In the case of IP transmission, you need not configure clocks for the BSC6900.
Procedure
Step 1 Run the SET CLK command to set the clock source of the interface board. Step 2 Run the ADD CLKSRC command to add the clock source of the system. l Clock source priority ranges from 1 to 4. The clock source of priority 0 is configured by default. Priority 0 is the lowest priority. The descending ranking of priorities is 1, 2, 3, and 4. l Clock source type should be set according to the mode of obtaining the clock signals. If the clock signals are extracted from the CN by the interface board (for example, OIUa/ EIUa/PEUa/FG2a/GOUa) in the EPS and then sent to the GCUa board through the line clock signal cable, Clock source type should be set to BITS1-2MHZ or BITS2-2MHZ. If the clock signals are extracted from the CN by the interface board in the MPS and then sent to the GCUa board through the backplane of the MPS, Clock source type should be set to LINE1_8KHZ or LINE2_8KHZ. If the clock signals are provided by the external BITS, Clock source type should be set to BITS1-2MBPS, BITS2-2MBPS, BITS1-T1BPS, or BITS2-T1BPS. If the clock signals are provided by the external 8 kHz clock, Clock source type should be set to 8KHZ. Step 3 Optional: Run the SET CLKMODE command to set the working mode of the system clock source.
NOTE
It is recommended that System clock working mode be set to AUTO(Auto Handover) so that the system can switch to the clock source of the highest priority when the current clock source is unavailable.

Step 3 Run the ADD BTSBRD command to add boards to the base station. l When Board Type is set to PTU(PTU), this parameter can only be used to add IP interface boards to the double-transceiver BTS. l When the APMU and DTCU boards are configured in a remote monitoring subrack, the relevant RRUs must be specified. You can do so by running the SET BTSAPMUBP command and the SET BTSDHEUBP command respectively. Step 4 Add TRX boards to the base station.
l 3X series and double-transceiver series base stations 1. Run the ADD BTSTRXBRD command to add TRX boards to a base station of the 3X series or double-transceiver series.
NOTE
l In the case of the BTS3012, BTS3012II, and BTS3012AE, the DTRU or QTRU board can be configured if Separate Mode is set to SUPPORT(Support). l The DTRU board enables two logical TRXs to be bound to one physical TRX board. The QTRU board enables six logical TRXs to be bound to one physical TRX board.
l 3900 series base stations 1. Run the ADD BTSRXUCHAIN command to add an RXU chain or ring.
NOTE
There is no need to add RXU boards or a RXU chain/ring for the 3900B.
2.
Run the ADD BTSRXUBRD command to add RXU boards.

NOTE
l For the SingleRAN base stations, Cabinet No., Subrack No., and Subrack No. must be configured. l For the 3900 series base stations, the DRRU/GRRU/MRRU/DRFU/GRFU/MRFU board can be configured. The DRRU/GRRU/MRRU board can be configured only for the DBS3900 GSM and DBS3036. The DRFU/GRFU/MRFU board can be configured only for the BTS3900 GSM/BTS3900A GSM and BTS3036/BTS3036A. l The DRRU/DRFU board enables two logical TRXs to be bound to one physical TRX board. The MRRU/GRFU/MRFU/GRRU board enables eight logical TRXs to be bound to one physical TRX board. l If Is Configure Check threshold is set to NO(NO), run the ADD BTSBRDCAP command to set the bandwidth manually. l For base stations to V1 specifications: Forward Bandwidth of the GRRU board cannot exceed 12.5 Mbit/s. Forward Bandwidth of the MRRU board in the 900/850/1900 MHz frequency band cannot exceed 12.5 Mbit/s. Forward Bandwidth of the MRRU board in the 1800 MHz frequency band cannot exceed 15 Mbit/s. l For base stations to V2 specifications, Forward Bandwidth of the GRRU/MRRU board cannot exceed 20 Mbit/s.
3.
Run the SET BTSRXUBP command to set the sending receiving mode and working mode of the RXU board.
NOTE
l If a site is configured with a TMA, you need to set the related TMA switch parameters. l The GRRU/GRFU board supports only the GSM(GSM) working mode. The MRRU/MRFU board supports the GSM(GSM), UMTS(UMTS), and GSM_AND_UMTS(GSM AND UMTS) working modes.
4.
If the working mode of the MRRU/MRFU is set to GSM_AND_UMTS(GSM AND UMTS), run the ADD BTSTOPCONFIG command to configure the TDM over Packet (TOP) switching relation of the MRRU/MRFU board. This facilitates common E1/T1 transmission between GSM and UMTS.
Step 5 Optional: If power sharing needs to be configured for the base station, run the SET GCELLCHMGAD command to set the advanced channel management parameters of the cell. In this step, set Multi-Density TRX Power Sharing to DYNAMIC(Dynamic power sharing). Step 6 Optional: Run the ADD BTSANTFEEDERBRD command to add antenna boards to the base station.

NOTE
The 3900 series base stations do not need to be configured with antenna boards.

You can configure the optional functions as required. 9.6.1 Configuring the Neighboring Cell Relations This section describes how to configure the neighboring cell relations between the cells in a BSC6900 or between the cells in different BSC6900s. To configure the neighboring cell relations, you need to configure the external 2G cell, external 3G cell, and neighboring cells for a cell to meet the handover requirement. 9.6.2 Configuring the BTS Timeslots In the network deployment or adjustment phase, you may need to configure the idle timeslots or monitoring timeslots of the BTS according to service requirements.
9.6.1 Configuring the Neighboring Cell Relations

This section describes how to configure the neighboring cell relations between the cells in a BSC6900 or between the cells in different BSC6900s. To configure the neighboring cell relations, you need to configure the external 2G cell, external 3G cell, and neighboring cells for a cell to meet the handover requirement.
Context
l l l The cell on which an MS camps before the handover is called the originating cell. The cell on which the MS will camp after the handover is called the target cell. The cells in the BSC6900 can be set to bidirectional neighboring cells or uni-directional neighboring cells. An external cell, that is, a cell in another BSC6900, can be configured only as a unidirectional neighboring cell.
Procedure

Step 3 Run the ADD G2GNCELL command to add a 2G neighboring cell for the specified originating cell. Step 4 Run the ADD G3GNCELL command to add a 3G neighboring cell for the specified originating cell. ----End
9.6.2 Configuring the BTS Timeslots

In the network deployment or adjustment phase, you may need to configure the idle timeslots or monitoring timeslots of the BTS according to service requirements.
Prerequisite
The data of the BTS is configured.
Context
l During network construction, the existing transmission links of the BTS can be used to obtain the required monitoring data. This meets the maintenance requirements of operators, monitors various data on the network, and reduces the transmission link costs. With regard to hardware deployment, a monitoring terminal needs to be installed on the BTS side, and a monitoring device needs to be installed on the BSC6900 side. In terms of software configuration, some of the BTS timeslots need to be used as monitoring timeslots to transmit monitoring data. The idle timeslots of the BTS are used to carry GPRS service data. If the idle timeslots of the BTS do not meet the bandwidth requirement of GPRS traffic, additional idle timeslots can be configured to increase the bandwidth available for GPRS traffic. Some of the allocated timeslots of a BTS can be disabled. This operation is applicable to scenarios where leased transmission links are used. For example, an operator leases only some timeslots on an E1 for traffic purposes.
Procedure
l Configuring the BTS monitoring timeslots 1. Run the ADD BTSMONITORTS command to add a monitoring timeslot at the BTS.
NOTE
l During timeslot assignment, the transparent transmission rules must be met, that is, the subtimeslots have fixed locations inside a 64 kbit/s timeslot. For example, if sub-timeslot 2 is assigned as the monitoring timeslot of the local BTS, the monitoring timeslot of the upper-level BTS must also be located in sub-timeslot 2. In addition, the board where the BTS is connected to the BSC can be configured only in the BM subrack, and this board must be a TDM interface board or an HDLC interface board. l If a 64 kbit/s monitoring timeslot is configured, the number of its sub-timeslots starts from 0. If a 32 kbit/s monitoring timeslot is configured, the number of its sub-timeslots starts from 0 or 4. If a 16 kbit/s monitoring timeslot is configured, the number of its sub-timeslots starts from 0, 2, 4, or 6. If an 8 kbit/s timeslot is configured, the number of its sub-timeslots can be that of any sub-timeslot in a 64 kbit/s timeslot. l If an OIU board of the BSC is to be monitored, the numbers of the incoming timeslots of the BSC start from 2. l Timeslot 1 of the E1/T1 on the Ater interface of the main TCS is reserved by the system. Therefore, do not configure any monitoring timeslot, semi-permanent link, or SS7 signaling link on this timeslot. l If the BTS uses the physical 16 kbit/s multiplexing mode, the bandwidth of the monitoring timeslot must be 16 kbit/s or 64 kbit/s. l If a BTS or its upper-level BTS uses the HDLC transmission mode, the monitoring timeslot of this BTS must be 64 kbit/s, and the outgoing BTS port of the monitoring timeslot must be an idle port or be the outgoing BTS port of another monitoring timeslot.
Configuring the BTS idle timeslots 1. Run the SET BTSIDLETS command to configure idle timeslots of the BTS.
NOTE
Idle timeslots are configured on the basis of BTS cabinet groups. With respect to each cabinet group, no more than 128 idle timeslots can be configured at a time. With respect to each BTS, a maximum of 512 idle timeslots can be configured.

10.1 Data Configuration Principles for Equipment

This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to the BSC6900 equipment. 10.1.1 Configuration Rules of the Cabinets This section describes the configuration rules of the BSC6900 cabinets. 10.1.2 Configuration Rules of the Subracks This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to the BSC6900 subracks. 10.1.3 Configuration Rules of the Boards This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to the BSC6900 boards. 10.1.4 Configuration Rules of the Clock This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to the BSC6900 clock. 10.1.5 Introduction to Time Synchronization The time synchronization function enables the time of the nodes of the GBSS system to be synchronized.
10.1.1 Configuration Rules of the Cabinets

This section describes the configuration rules of the BSC6900 cabinets. The configuration rules of the BSC6900 cabinets are as follows: l l l l The cabinets consist of the Main Processing Rack (MPR), Extended Processing Rack (EPR), and TransCoder Rack (TCR). The MPR is configured by default. You cannot add or remove this cabinet by running the MML command. If a TCS is configured in the local cabinet, the remote TCR cannot be configured. According to service requirements, one to three cabinets can be configured. The number of remote TCRs cannot exceed two.
10.1.2 Configuration Rules of the Subracks

This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to the BSC6900 subracks. The configuration rules of the BSC6900 subracks are as follows: l l l The Main Processing Subrack (MPS) is configured by default. You need not add this subrack by running the MML command. Before adding a subrack, ensure that the cabinet to which the subrack is added exists, and that the MPS works properly. Each subrack needs to be equipped with a fan box. The power distribution box can be configured as required. Generally, only one subrack in a cabinet can be connected to the monitoring board of the power distribution box.
10-2
l l l
The actual board type in a subrack must be consistent with the configured type. The subrack number of the EPS/TCS must be consistent with the setting of the DIP switch. After a subrack is added, run MML command to enable the corresponding port on the SCU board in the main subrack. The relation between Subrack No. and Cabinet No. is as follows: Cabinet No. equals the quotient of Subrack No. divided by three.
10.1.3 Configuration Rules of the Boards

10.1.4 Configuration Rules of the Clock

This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to the BSC6900 clock. The configuration rules of the board clock are as follows: l l The interface boards in the EPS cannot provide 8 kHz clock output through the backplane. Each channel of 8 kHz backplane clock has only one clock source. The clock output switch on multiple interface boards for the same channel of 8 kHz backplane clock cannot be turned on at the same time. If both data and voice services are carried by the board, the clock source for the two types of services must be the same in the core network. Otherwise, the data or voice service may fail. For the EIUa boards, the LINE1 clock is extracted from Port for LINE1, and the LINE2 clock is extracted from Port for LINE2. For other interface boards, both the LINE1 clock and LINE2 clock are extracted from Port for LINE. If Use SGSN clock source is set to YES, the POUc board can be used only as a Gb interface board rather than an Abis, Ater, Pb, or A interface board.
The configuration rules of the system clock are as follows: l Clock source priority ranges from 1 to 4. The clock source of priority 0 is configured by default. Priority 0 is the lowest priority. The descending ranking of priorities is 1, 2, 3, and 4. Clock source type needs to be set according to the mode of obtaining the clock signals. If the clock signals are extracted from the CN by the interface board (for example, OIUa/ EIUa/PEUa/FG2a/GOUa) in the EPS and then sent to the GCUa board through the line clock signal cable, Clock source type should be set to BITS1-2MHZ or BITS2-2MHZ. If the clock signals are extracted from the CN clock by the interface board in the MPS and then sent to the GCUa board through the backplane of the MPS, Clock source type should be set to LINE1_8KHZ or LINE2_8KHZ. If the clock signals are provided by the external BITS clock, Clock source type should be set to BITS1-2MBPS, BITS2-2MBPS, BITS1-T1BPS, or BITS2-T1BPS. If the clock signals are provided by the external 8 kHz clock, Clock source type should be set to 8KHZ.

10.1.5 Introduction to Time Synchronization

The time synchronization function enables the time of the nodes of the GBSS system to be synchronized. Synchronization is critical for identifying faults. For example, if an E1 link between the BSC6900 and the base station is broken, time synchronization between the BSC6900 and the base station ensures that the same fault is reported to the M2000 by the BSC6900 and by the base station is at the same time point. The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is used to synchronize the time of the nodes of the GBSS system. SNTP serves the time synchronization between a server and multiple clients. Therefore, an SNTP server must be configured in the GBSS system. The SNTP server broadcasts time synchronization information to the SNTP clients. Either the BSC6900 or the M2000 functions as an SNTP server. You can configure an SNTP server by taking the field condition into consideration. SNTP works on the basis of the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Therefore, when setting the time at different nodes, you need to set the time zone where the node is located and decide whether to set the Daylight Saving Time (DST). If the DST is set, you need to configure the start time and end time of the DST and the time offset.
10.2 Data Configuration Principles for Interfaces

This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to the BSC6900 interfaces. 10.2.1 Links on the A and Ater Interfaces This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to the A and Ater interface links. 10.2.2 Timeslot Assignment on the Ater Interface This section describes the timeslot assignment principles of the Ater OMLs and signaling links and the dynamic assignment principles of traffic timeslots. 10.2.3 Configuration Rules of the Gb Interface Links This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to the Gb interface links.
10.2.1 Links on the A and Ater Interfaces

This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to the A and Ater interface links. In BM/TC separated mode, the TCS can be configured locally or remotely. Accordingly, links need to be configured on the A and Ater interfaces. Table 10-3 lists the links that need to be configured on the A and Ater interfaces.

Figure 10-1 shows the links that need to be configured on the A and Ater interfaces when the TCS is configured locally. The MPS communicates with the main TCS through the SCU boards to transmit SS7 signaling, BSC6900 internal signaling, and OM information. The SS7 signaling is transparently transmitted to the XPU board in the MPS/EPS through the SCU board. Figure 10-1 Links on the A and Ater interfaces (TCS configured locally)
Figure 10-2 shows the links that need to be configured on the A and Ater interfaces when the TCS is configured remotely. The SS7 signaling is transparently transmitted to the EIUa or XPUa board in the MPS/EPS for processing through the Ater interface.

10.2.2 Timeslot Assignment on the Ater Interface

This section describes the timeslot assignment principles of the Ater OMLs and signaling links and the dynamic assignment principles of traffic timeslots.
OM Timeslots and Signaling Timeslots on the Ater Interface

In BM/TC separated mode, the data related to the Ater interface needs to be configured. When the TCS is configured locally, the SS7 signaling that is transparently transmitted over the Ater interface occupies the timeslots on the Ater interface. The occupied bandwidth is the same as that on the A interface. When the TCS is configured remotely, the Ater OMLs, Ater signaling links, and transparently transmitted SS7 signaling occupy the timeslots on the Ater interface. The bandwidth occupied by the SS7 signaling on the Ater interface is the same as that on the A interface. The timeslot bandwidth occupied by the Ater OMLs and Ater signaling links is subject to the BSC6900 configuration. Table 10-4 lists the bandwidth of OM timeslots and signaling timeslots on the Ater interface. Table 10-4 Bandwidth of OM timeslots and signaling timeslots on the Ater interface Typical Configuration MPS+TCS Bandwidth of Ater OMLs 16 timeslots of 64 kbit/s Bandwidth of Ater Signaling Links The MPS is configured with four timeslots of 64 kbit/s.

Traffic Timeslots on the Ater Interface

The traffic timeslots on the Ater interface are assigned dynamically. Except for the timeslots occupied by the OMLs and signaling links, all the other timeslots on the Ater interface are traffic timeslots, which form a resource pool. The unit of the resources in the resource pool is 16 kbit/s sub-timeslot. All the idle sub-timeslots form an FIFO queue. If required, the sub-timeslots will be taken out of the queue. For example, to establish a call, the EIUa board in the TCS selects a 16 kbit/s sub-timeslot (head element of the FIFO queue) that is not used for the longest time from the resource pool and uses it as the Ater path for the call. When the call is terminated, the sub-timeslot is released to the resource pool and is added to the tail of the FIFO queue.
10.2.3 Configuration Rules of the Gb Interface Links

This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to the Gb interface links. The Gb interface can use the FR protocol or the IP protocol. For different protocols, the configuration parameters and configuration rules of the Gb interface links are different. When the Gb interface uses the FR protocol, the configuration of Gb interface links involves the NSE, BC, NSVC, and PTPBVC. When the Gb interface uses the IP protocol, the configuration of Gb interface links involves the NSE, local NSVL, remote NSVL, and PTPBVC. Table 10-5 describes the configuration parameters.
Issue 07 (2010-09-15)
10-9
Table 10-5 Description of the configuration parameters Configuration Parameter BC (Bearer Channel) Description BC is the bearer channel for the frame relay. It is an E1/T1 timeslot group used to transfer data and signaling on the Gb interface. Bandwidth = Number of timeslots x 64 kbit/ s. One or several BCs can be configured on one E1. Each BC on an E1 is assigned a number to facilitate local management. This number is called BC ID. For an E1, the BC ID at the local end and the BC ID at the peer end can be different, but the timeslot distribution at both ends must be consistent. NSVC (Network Service Virtual Connection) NSVC is the end-to-end virtual connection between the BSC6900 and the SGSN. The NSVC on the BSC6900 side and the NSVC on the SGSN side have a one-to-one relation. Their NSVCIs are the same. The NS divides the NSVCs into different groups. Each group is identified by an NSEI. The NSVCs in the same group work in load sharing mode. If one NSVC fails, the NS switches the data on this NSVC to another NSVC for transmission. One NSVC group of the BSC6900 is connected to one SGSN. In an FR network, one NSVC corresponds to one PVC. In an IP network, one NSVC is identified by the combination of the local IP address, local port, peer IP address, and peer port. PVC (Permanent Virtual Connection) PVC is the permanent virtual connection for the frame relay. It is a logical transmission channel. Multiple PVCs can be established on one BC. The PVCs are identified by Data Link Connection Identifiers (DLCIs). The DLCI on the BSC6900 side and that on the SGSN side must be the same. The PVC is created together with the NSVC.
10-10
Issue 07 (2010-09-15)
Configuration Parameter NSE
Description The NSE is represented by a BVC set at the BSSGP layer and an NSVC set at the NS layer. The NSE is identified by the NSEI. The NSEI on the BSC6900 side and that on the SGSN side must be consistent. The NSE can be configured to use the FR protocol or IP protocol. In the case of Gb over FR, BC and NSVC need to be configured. In the case of Gb over IP, device IP address, port number, routing, and NSVL need to be configured.
Local NSVL and remote NSVL
A local NSVL is an IP end point at the local end. It is used to carry the services on a specific NSE. The configuration parameters related to a local NSE are IP address and UDP port number, which are configured on the FG2a/FG2c/GOUc board. A remote NSVL is an IP end point at the remote end. It is a connection parameter provided by the SGSN. The local and remote NSVLs specify a communication link. PTPBVC is the point-to-point virtual connection at the BSSGP layer.
PTPBVC (Point To Point BSSGP Virtual Connection)
Figure 10-3 shows the logical connections at the NS and BSSGP layers between the BSC6900 and the SGSN.
Issue 07 (2010-09-15)
10-11
Figure 10-3 Logical connections at the NS and BSSGP layers
As shown in Figure 10-3, the NSE is represented by a BVC set at the BSSGP layer and an NSVC set at the NS layer. The NS layer provides data transmission channels for the BSSGP layer. The data transmission channels for the cells under one NSE must be selected from the NSVC group under this NSE so that the traffic is evenly distributed among the NSVCs. In the case of Gb over FR, services are carried on the NSVC and BC. In the case of Gb over IP, services are carried on the links specified by the local and remote NSVLs.

The difference between different configuration modes mainly lies in the number of cells and TRXs at different BTSs. 10.3.9 Concepts of the BTS Multiplexing Mode This section describes BTS multiplexing, that is, the multiplexing of the LAPD signaling on the E1 timeslots of the Abis interface. The BSC6900 provides the 64 kbit/s statistical multiplexing mode and the physical 16 kbit/s multiplexing mode. 10.3.10 Instances of BTS Multiplexing Modes This section describes the E1 timeslot assignment in 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1 multiplexing modes. 10.3.11 Principles of DFCU/DFCB Configuration The filter combiner unit for DTRU BTS is located in the DAFU subrack of the BTS3012 or BTS3012AE or BTS3012 II. The filter combiner unit features a lower combination loss, and therefore, can meet the requirements of large coverage and save antennas when large-scale BTSs are used. 10.3.12 Configuration Rules of Upgrading Cabinets from Version 8.x to Version 9.0 This section describes the configuration rules of upgrading cabinets from an 8.x version to the 9.0 version.

10.3.5 BTS Network Topologies

The BSC6900 provides flexible BTS network topologies on the Abis interface. These topologies are star topology, chain topology, tree topology, and ring topology.
Star Topology
In a star topology, BTSs connect to a BSC6900 directly, and the BTSs do not have lower-level BTSs. Star topology is a commonly used network topology. It is applicable in common scenarios, especially in densely populated areas. Figure 10-4 shows the star topology. Figure 10-4 Star topology
10-28
Issue 07 (2010-09-15)
The advantages of the star topology are as follows: l l l l l Simple network structure Easy engineering implementation Convenient network maintenance Flexible capacity expansion High network reliability
Disadvantages: Compared with other topologies, the star topology requires a largest quantity of transmission cables. Especially for small-scaled BTSs, transmission resource utilization in the star topology is not high. A timeslot integration device can be used to solve this problem.
Chain Topology
In a chain topology, BTSs are cascaded. The BTSs on a cascading link can only process the timeslots of their own and transparently transmit the timeslots of the lower-level BTSs. The BTS chain topology is applicable to sparsely populated areas in the strip-like terrain, such as areas along highways and high-speed railways. If the star topology is used in this situation, the transmission resource is wasted. Therefore, the chain topology is recommended. Figure 10-5 shows the chain topology. Figure 10-5 Chain topology
Advantages: The chain topology can reduce the costs of transmission equipment and engineering construction and save the rent for the transmission links. Disadvantages: l l l The reliability of the transmission link is poor because the signal transmission passes through multiple nodes. A faulty BTS may affect the normal operation of its lower-level BTSs. The number of cascading levels must not exceed five.
To minimize the impact of the faulty upper-level BTS on lower-level BTSs, the Abis bypass function is provided. In bypass mode, a relay switch is installed on the BTS. When a BTS is running normally, the timeslots of the lower-level BTSs are switched over from the incoming E1 port to the outgoing E1 port through the switching board of the BTS. When the BTS fails to provide services due to power-off or other reasons, the relay switch works to ensure the direct connection between the incoming E1 port and the outgoing E1 port on the BTS. Therefore, the lower-level BTSs still retain the connection to the BSC6900. Figure 10-6 shows the bypass function of the BTS.
Issue 07 (2010-09-15)
10-29
Figure 10-6 Bypass function of the BTS
Tree Topology
In a tree topology, one site is connected with two or more subsites. The tree topology is the combination of the chain topology and the star topology. The tree topology is applicable to areas where network structures, BTS distribution, and subscriber distribution are complicated. Figure 10-7 shows the tree topology. Figure 10-7 Tree topology
Advantages: The number of transmission cables required in the tree topology is smaller than that in the star topology. Disadvantages:
10-30
Issue 07 (2010-09-15)
In a tree topology, the signal transmission passes through multiple nodes. Therefore, the transmission reliability is relatively low, the engineering construction is difficult, and the maintenance is inconvenient. A faulty BTS may affect the normal operation of its lower-level BTSs. It is inconvenient to expand the capacity of the network. The number of cascading levels must not exceed five.
l l l
Ring Topology
The ring topology is a special chain topology. Several BTSs form a chain, and the lowest-level BTS is connected to the BSC6900, thus forming a ring. If there is a breakpoint on the ring, the BTSs that precede the breakpoint remain unchanged in the network topology, whereas the BTSs that follow the breakpoint form a new chain connection in the reverse direction. The ring topology is applicable to common scenarios. Due to its strong self-healing capability, the ring topology is preferably applied so long as the transmission links meet the networking requirements. Figure 10-8 shows the ring topology. Figure 10-8 Ring topology
Advantages: The ring topology has a strong self-healing capability. If the E1 link at a point is broken, a new chain connection can be formed without affecting the ongoing services. Disadvantages: In a ring topology, there is always a segment of transmission link that does not transmit any data.
10.3.6 TDM-Based Networking on the Abis Interface

In TDM-based networking mode, the BSC6900 and the base station communicate with each other through the SDH/PDH network, and TDM transmission is applied to the Abis interface.
TDM-Based Networking
In this networking mode, the EIUa/OIUa/POUc board of the BSC6900 functions as the Abis interface board. The EIUa board provides E1/T1 ports, the OIUa board provides channelized STM-1 ports, and the POUc board provides channelized STM-1 ports and OC-3 ports. Figure 10-9 shows the TDM-based networking on the Abis interface.

Features of Networking Modes

Advantages: The networking is mature, QoS-assured, safe, and reliable. Telecom operators can make full use of the SDH/PDH transmission network resources. Disadvantages: The cost of the TDM networking mode is higher than that of the IP networking mode.
10.3.7 IP-Based Networking on the Abis Interface

In IP-based networking mode, the BSC6900 and the base station communicate with each other through the IP/SDH/PDH network, and layer 3 of the protocol stack for the Abis interface uses the IP protocol.
IP over E1 Networking
In this networking mode, the BSC6900 and the base station communicate with each other through the SDH/PDH network. The PEUa/POUc board functions as the Abis interface board. The PEUa board provides E1/T1 ports, and the POUc board provides STM-1 ports and OC-3 ports. See Figure 10-10. Figure 10-10 IP over E1 Networking
IP over Ethernet Networking (Layer 2)

In this networking mode, the BSC6900 and the base station communicate with each other through the IP network, and the data transmitted between them is processed by the switch according to the data link layer protocol. The FG2a/GOUa/FG2c/GOUc board of the BSC6900 functions as the Abis interface board and provides FE/GE ports. Figure 10-11 shows the IP over Ethernet networking (layer 2).

The FG2a/GOUa/FG2c/GOUc board of the BSC6900 functions as the Abis interface board and provides FE/GE ports. Figure 10-12 shows the IP over Ethernet networking (layer 3). Figure 10-12 IP over Ethernet networking (layer 3)
Features of Networking Modes

Advantages: l IP over E1 Networking Telecom operators can make full use of the SDH/PDH transmission network resources. The networking is mature, QoS-assured, safe, and reliable. l IP over Ethernet Networking The base station provides large-capacity bandwidth through FE/GE ports, thus facilitating the upgrade and capacity expansion. The transmission network supports the evolution from the GSM TDM network to the IP network. Disadvantages: l
Issue 07 (2010-09-15)
IP over E1 Networking
This networking mode does not meet the requirements of the evolution from the telecom network to the IP network. l IP over Ethernet Networking The QoS of the network cannot be guaranteed easily. Therefore, the end-to-end QoS mechanism must be adopted.

This section provides several typical configuration modes of the BTS radio layer in terms of cells and TRXs. The difference between different configuration modes mainly lies in the number of cells and TRXs at different BTSs.
Definition of Typical Configuration

Generally, BTSs have two configuration modes, that is, S x and S x/x/x. l l l "S" represents a BTS. The quantity of "x"s represents the number of cells. The value of "x" indicates the number of TRXs under each cell.
For example, S2 indicates that there is one cell under a BTS, and there are two TRXs under this cell. S2/2/2 indicates that there are three cells under a BTS, and two TRXs under each cell.
Typical Configuration Scenarios

The typical configuration scenarios of BTSs are as follows: l l l l l l S2 S2/2/2 S4/4/4 S6/6/6 S8/8/8 S12/12/12
The BTS configuration processes in all scenarios are the same. The configuration objects and quantity, however, are different from each other.
10.3.9 Concepts of the BTS Multiplexing Mode

This section describes BTS multiplexing, that is, the multiplexing of the LAPD signaling on the E1 timeslots of the Abis interface. The BSC6900 provides the 64 kbit/s statistical multiplexing mode and the physical 16 kbit/s multiplexing mode.
Timeslots and Sub-Timeslots

The bandwidth of each E1 link is 2.048 Mbit/s, which consists of 32 timeslots. The transmission rate on each timeslot is 64 kbit/s. Each timeslot is divided into four sub-timeslots, and the transmission rate on each sub-timeslot is 16 kbit/s.
Timeslot Types of the Abis Interface

The timeslots of the BTS Abis interface are classified into the following types:
Operation and maintenance link (OML) link for operation and maintenance of a BTS. Each BTS has only one OML, and the transmission rate on the OML is 64 kbit/s. An OML can be multiplexed with only the RSLs of the same BTS.
Radio signaling link (RSL) Signaling link of a TRX. Each TRX has one RSL at a rate of 64 kbit/s. RSLs can be multiplexed with only the OML or other RSLs of the same BTS.
Extended signaling link (ESL) Extended signaling link. When the timeslot assignment mode on the Abis interface of the BTS is set to FLEX_ABIS, each BTS requires one 64 kbit/s ESL for transmitting the signaling of dynamic Abis timeslot connection. ESL can be multiplexed with only the OML of the same BTS in a 64 kbit/s timeslot of the same E1 link.
Traffic channel (TCH) Traffic channel of a TRX. The full transmission rate is 16 kbit/s, and the half transmission rate is 8 kbit/s.
Idle Idle timeslot of a BTS, which has a rate of 16 kbit/s. Idle timeslots can be multiplexed with only the TCHs of the same cabinet group.
Semi Monitoring timeslot of a BTS, which has a rate of 8 kbit/s, 16 kbit/s, 32 kbit/s, or 64 kbit/ s and cannot be multiplexed with timeslots of other types.
64 kbit/s Statistical Multiplexing Mode

Statistical multiplexing is a technology where n channels share one 64 kbit/s timeslot, each in a different time slice, that is, Time Division Multiplexing (TDM). In statistical multiplexing mode, multiple channels are multiplexed onto one 64 kbit/s bandwidth. The 64 kbit/s statistical multiplexing mode consists of the following types: l l l l l l 1:1 2:1 3:1 4:1 5:1 6:1
That is, n:1 (n<=6), where n represents the number of signaling links and 1 represents one E1 timeslot (64 kbit/s) on the Abis interface. When the Abis interface uses a 64 kbit/s timeslot for signaling transmission, traffic channels cannot use the same timeslot. RSLs use 64 kbit/s timeslots through multiplexing. In all the n:1 multiplexing modes, the speech rate is 16 kbit/s or 8 kbit/s (half rate). Four fullrate traffic channels or eight half-rate traffic channels occupy one 64 kbit/s timeslot on the Abis interface. The rate of all the signaling links is 64 kbit/s. Based on the multiplexing mode (n:1), n signaling timeslots occupy one E1 timeslot (64 kbit/s) on the Abis interface. All the timeslots implement 64 kbit/s switching in the Abis interface board of the BSC6900.
Physical 16 kbit/s Multiplexing Mode

In physical 16 kbit/s multiplexing mode, a 16 kbit/s sub-timeslot is permanently assigned to a channel, that is, this channel exclusively uses this timeslot. When the Abis interface uses a 16 kbit/s rate for signaling transmission, timeslots of the E1 link, excluding timeslot 0 (synchronization timeslot), can be configured as traffic timeslots or signaling timeslots. Therefore, the multiplexing ratio is not involved.
10.3.10 Instances of BTS Multiplexing Modes

This section describes the E1 timeslot assignment in 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1 multiplexing modes.
NOTE
The timeslot assignment of each multiplexing mode is based on the following conditions: l The speech rate is 16 kbit/s permanently. Four channels of speech occupy one 64 kbit/s timeslot on the Abis interface. l For the first TRX, channel 0 (T00C0) is the BCCH and channel 1 (T00C1) is the SDCCH. l When the BTSs that support the Flex Abis function use the 5:1 or 6:1 multiplexing mode, each BTS needs to be configured with one ESL. l When the BTSs that support the Flex Abis function use the 5:1 and 6:1 multiplexing modes, the multiplexing ratios of OML, ESL, and RSL are 1:1:3 and 1:1:4 respectively. The differences between the multiplexing modes 5:1 and 4:1, and 6:1 and 4:1 lie in only their multiplexing of the RSLs. BCCHs and SDCCHs use RSLs, that is, the timeslots used by T00C0 and T00C1 are included in the timeslots used by the RSLs. Therefore, the 5:1 or 6:1 mode is not displayed in the tables.
Instances of the 1:1 Multiplexing Mode

Assume that BTS0 is configured with one cell and four TRXs, the channels in the cell use default settings, and the multiplexing mode is 1:1. Table 10-22 lists the timeslot assignment on the Abis interface. Table 10-22 Timeslot assignment in 1:1 multiplexing mode Timesl ot Numb er 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

10.3.11 Principles of DFCU/DFCB Configuration

The filter combiner unit for DTRU BTS is located in the DAFU subrack of the BTS3012 or BTS3012AE or BTS3012 II. The filter combiner unit features a lower combination loss, and therefore, can meet the requirements of large coverage and save antennas when large-scale BTSs are used. There are two types of filter combiner unit. One is DFCU with a built-in microband combiner, and the other is DFCB (B as the model) without a built-in microband combiner.
Configuration Rules of the Boards

l l The DFCU can be used independently to provide the four-in-one output. The DFCB is a dual two-in-one combiner that provides two outputs, namely, tributary A and tributary B corresponding to COM1 (output) and COM2 (output) of the DFCB. Each tributary can be used to combine the output of at most two TRXs. The DFCB cannot be used independently because it has no diversity receive channel. Therefore, it can be used only with the DFCU in cascading mode to support the S6 and S12 cell configurations. The DFCU/DFCB must be configured in an even slot, such as slot 0, 2, or 4, in the DAFU subrack, namely, the even slots of the original DDPU. The odd slot next to the DFCU/ DFCB slot cannot be configured with any board. In other words, a DFCU/DFCB occupies two slots.
Configuration Rules of Antenna Feeder Connections in the DFCU

l l l l l l The TRX to be tuned in the DFCU must be configured on downlink tributary A of the DFCU. Tributary B cannot be configured with TRXs. In the antenna feeder connections of one DFCU, a maximum of four TRXs can be configured. In the antenna feeder connections of the DFCU, none of the TRXs can be configured with RF FH. In the antenna feeder connections of the DFCU, the spacing between any two TRXs must be at least three frequencies. In the antenna feeder connections of the DFCU, the transmit mode of any TRX cannot be set to wideband combination. By default, the transmit mode is set to transmit independency. When the DFCU uses six-in-one output mode, it must work with the DFCB. You need to configure the extended connection relation for the DFCU to describe how the DFCB is cascaded to the DFCU. The DFCB provides dual two-in-one outputs.
Configuration Rules of Antenna Feeder Connections in the DFCB

l l l A TRX is connected to tributary A or B of the DFCB based on actual conditions. Both tributary A and tributary B of the DFCB can be configured with a maximum of two TRXs. The spacing between the two TRXs in both tributaries A and B must be at least three frequencies. The frequency spacing between tributary A and tributary B has no restriction because the two tributaries are independent of each other. In the antenna feeder connections of the DFCB, none of the TRXs can be configured with RF FH.

l l
In the antenna feeder connections of the DFCB, the transmit mode of any TRX cannot be set to wideband combination. The DFCB does not require extension connections. The extension connections are configured on the DFCU.
10.3.12 Configuration Rules of Upgrading Cabinets from Version 8.x to Version 9.0
This section describes the configuration rules of upgrading cabinets from an 8.x version to the 9.0 version. The components involved in the upgrade are the BBU subrack, RF subrack, and monitoring boards.
Configuration Rules of Upgrading the BBU Subrack

You need to determine the type of cabinet 0 according to the BTS type during the upgrade, because the BBU is always installed in cabinet 0.

Monitoring Board Local DPMU/APMU
Description l If only one DPMU/ APMU is used, the cabinet number, subrack number, and slot number of the DPMU/APMU are changed into 0, 7, and 0 respectively. l If two DPMUs/APMUs are used, the cabinet number, subrack number, and slot number of the odd-numbered DPMU/ APMU are changed into 0, 7, and 0 respectively. The other DPMU/APMU is upgraded as follows: If the BTS model is BTS3900 and the type of cabinet 1 is BTS3900, then the cabinet number, subrack number, and slot number of the other DPMU/APMU are changed into 1, 7, and 0 respectively. If the BTS model is BTS3900 and cabinet 1 does not exist, then add cabinet 5, and change the cabinet number, subrack number, and slot number of the other DPMU/APMU into 5, 7, and 0 respectively. Regarding the added number five cabinet, if the other DPMU/ APMU is DPMU, then the cabinet type is PS4890; if the other DPMU/APMU is APM30, then the cabinet type is APM30; if the other DPMU/APMU is APM4815, then the cabinet type is OMB.
Remarks l You can determine whether a DPMU/APMU is a local one according to its original cabinet number, subrack number, and slot number. If the original subrack number is 2, the DPMU/APMU is a local one. If the original subrack number is 5, the DPMU/APMU is a remote one. l If there is a DPMU/ APMU in cabinet 0, subrack 2, and slot 4 or in cabinet 0, subrack 2, and slot 5, you need to remove it first. l After the DPMU is renamed, you need to set APMUBRDTYPE to PS4890.

Monitoring Board
Description l The DPMU/APMU is renamed PMU. l You need to modify the parameters of the PMU and add the relation information of the management object.
Remarks
The following is an example: View the settings of the PMU and determine how many PSUs are configured. Assume that three PSUs are configured in PMU0 by running the following command: SET BTSAPMUBP: IDTYPE=BYID, BTSID=1000, CN=0, SRN=7, SN=0, CFGFLAG=YES, APMUBRDTYPE=APM30, PSU0=YES, PSU1=YES, PSU2=YES. After the PMU0 is added, three PSUs are added. In the 9.0 version, the PSU is treated as a board, and therefore you need to add a PSU in the same way as adding a board. The MML command for adding a PSU is as follows: ADD BTSBRD: IDTYPE=BYID, BTSID=1000, CN=0, SRN=7, SN=1, BT=PSU. In this command, the CN and SRN are the same as those of the PMU0, and the SN is numbered from 1 in ascending order.
10.3.13 Configuration Guidelines for Typical TRX Power

The typical TRX power specifications are only used as reference for onsite configurations. Specific data configurations should be adjusted according to onsite situations. This task takes the typical TRX power configurations of the RRU3908 and MRFU as examples.

10.5.1 BSC6900 Subrack Number

This section describes the principles of and suggestions for numbering BSC6900 subracks.
Principles
A cabinet of the BSC6900 has two types of subrack: MPS and EPS. If the BSC6900 is deployed in a GSM network, the TCS may exist. In this case, the MPS and EPS are collectively known as the Basic Module (BM) subrack, and the TCS is short for the TransCoder (TC) subrack.A BSC6900 supports a maximum of 8 subracks. Each subrack is uniquely but not necessarily consecutively numbered within a BSC6900. l l l The mandatory MPS is the switching subrack whose number is always set to 0. The EPS is the service processing subrack whose number ranges from 1 to 3. The number of required EPSs depends on the traffic requirement. The TCS is the speech service processing subrack whose number ranges from 4 to 7. The number of required TCSs depends on the traffic requirement.
Suggestions
It is recommended that subracks be numbered in ascending order in the directions from left to right and from bottom to top, seen from the front.
10.5.2 Transmission Resource Mapping Record Index

This section describes the principles of and suggestions for numbering transmission resource mapping records.
Principles
A BSC6900 supports a maximum of 150 transmission resource mapping records. The numbers of such records range from 14 to 163.
NOTE

10.5.3 Activity Factor Table Index

This section describes the principle of numbering activity factor tables.
Principles
A BSC6900 supports a maximum of 34 activity factor tables. The numbers of such tables range from 0 to 33.

NOTE
The activity factor table with index 0 is the default table in the BSC6900, and you cannot modify or remove it.
10.5.4 SCTP Link Number

This section describes the principles of and suggestions for numbering SCTP links.
Principles
The numbers of SCTP links range from 0 to 1199. SCTP links are uniquely numbered within an XPU board. The numbering for SCTP links of the same type may not be consecutive. For example, number an SCTP link on one A interface 10 and an SCTP link on another A interface 12.
10.5.5 Adjacent Node ID

This section describes the principles of and suggestions for numbering adjacent nodes.
Principles
The numbers of adjacent nodes range from 0 to 4599. Adjacent nodes are uniquely but not necessarily consecutively numbered within a BSC6900. For example, you can number one A adjacent node 10 and another A adjacent node 12.
Suggestions
For clear and easy identification, adhere to the following numbering principles: Number the A, Ater, and Abis adjacent nodes in ascending order starting from 0 or in descending order starting from 4599. For example, you can number the A adjacent nodes in ascending order starting from 0 and number the Ater and Abis adjacent nodes in descending order starting from 4599.
10.5.6 MTP3/M3UA DSP Index

This section describes the principles of and suggestions for numbering MTP3/M3UA Destination Signaling Points (DSPs).
Principles
A BSC6900 supports a maximum of 186 DSPs, including the DSPs that are either directly or indirectly connected to the Originating Signaling Points (OSPs). The number of the MTP3/ M3UA DSP ranges from 0 to 186. DSPs are uniquely but not necessarily consecutively numbered within a BSC6900 by using the DSP index. For example, you can set the number of an MSC signaling point to 10 and that of another MSC signaling point to 12.
10.5.7 Signaling Link Set Index

This section describes the principles of and suggestions for numbering signaling link sets. The signaling link set can be the MTP3 signaling link set or the M3UA signaling link set.
Principles of Numbering MTP3 Signaling Link Sets

In a BSC6900, the number of the MTP3 signaling link set ranges from 0 to 186. MTP3 signaling link sets are uniquely but not necessarily consecutively numbered within a BSC6900 by using the signaling link set index. For example, you can set the number of an MTP3 signaling link set towards a neighboring MGW to 10 and the number of an MTP3 signaling link set towards another neighboring MGW to 12.
Principles of Numbering M3UA Signaling Link Sets

In a BSC6900, the numbers of M3UA signaling link sets range from 0 to 186. M3UA signaling link sets are uniquely but not necessarily consecutively numbered within a BSC6900 by using the signaling link set index. For example, you can set the number of an M3UA signaling link set towards a neighboring MSC to 11 and the number of an M3UA signaling link set towards another neighboring MSC to 13.
10.5.8 MSC ID
This section describes the principles of and suggestions for numbering MSCs.
Principles
MSCs are uniquely but not necessarily consecutively numbered within a BSC6900. For example, set the number of an MSC to 0 and that of another MSC to 2.
NOTE
Although the number of an MSC ranges from 0 to 4095, a maximum of 64 MSCs can be configured.
Suggestions
For clear and easy identification, adhere to the following numbering principles: Specify different ranges for CN nodes in different domains. For example, specify the range of 0 to 15 for CN nodes in the CS domain and the range of 16 to 31 for CN nodes in the PS domain.
10.5.9 Logical Cell ID

This section describes the principles of and suggestions for numbering logical cells.
Principles
The logical cell ID uniquely identifies a cell in a radio network. The logical cell ID is configured at the BSC6900. The BSC6900 sends the cell ID to the base station during a cell setup procedure. The mapping between logical cell IDs and local cell IDs are configured at the BSC6900. The BSC6900 supports a maximum of 2048 logical cells. Logical cells are uniquely but not necessarily consecutively numbered within a BSC6900. For example, you can set the ID of a logical cell to 0 and that of another logical cell to 2.
Suggestions
For clear and easy identification, adhere to the following numbering principles:
Specify different number ranges for logical cells in different subracks. For example, you can specify the range of 0 to 899 for the logical cells in subrack 0 (MPS) and the range of 900 to 1799 for the logical cells in subrack 1 (EPS).
10.5.10 GSM Cell ID

This section describes the principles of numbering GSM cells. A GSM cell ID is used to identify the GSM cell. The BSC6900 supports a maximum of 2048 GSM cells. GSM cells are uniquely but not necessarily consecutively numbered within a BSC6900. For example, you can number a GSM cell 0 and number another GSM cell 3.
10.5.11 NRI
This section describes the principles of setting Network Resource Identifiers (NRIs). An NRI uniquely identifies a CN node that serves a pool area. The value range of NRI is variable. The value range depends on the scale of a CN domain and expansion requirements. The maximum number of NRIs is 1,024. For example, a CS domain has a maximum of 16 nodes. In this case, Length of CS NRI in bits is set to 4, which indicates that an NRI is represented by four binary digits. Therefore, the value range of NRI is 0 to 15.
10.5.12 PLMN ID
This section defines the PLMN and describes the components of the PLMN ID.
PLMN
Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs), which are established and operated by executive branches or recognized private operators, provide public land mobile radio telecommunication services. PLMN IDs identify mobile communication operators of different countries. PLMNs of different operators have different PLMN IDs.
PLMN ID
The PLMN ID is used to uniquely identify a PLMN worldwide. The PLMN ID consists of two parts: MCC and MNC. Figure 10-13 shows the components of the PLMN ID. Figure 10-13 Components of the PLMN ID

Mobile Country Code (MCC) is used to identify different countries or regions.

Mobile Network Code (MNC) is used to identify different network operators.
10.5.13 LA Identifiers
This section describes the principles of and suggestions for numbering Location Areas (LAs). The identifiers related to the LA are Location Area Code (LAC) and Location Area Identification (LAI).
LAC
The LAC is used to uniquely identify an LA within a PLMN. The LAC is a 2-byte hexadecimal code. It ranges from 0000 to FFFE. The codes 0000 and FFFE are reserved. The LAC is presented in the format of h'X1X2X3X4 or H'X1X2X3X4. h' and H' are the hexadecimal symbols.
LAI
The LAI is used to uniquely identify an LA worldwide. The LAI consists of three parts: MCC, MNC, and LAC. Figure 10-14 shows the components of the LAI. Figure 10-14 Components of the LAI
10.5.14 RA Identifiers
This section describes the principles of and suggestions for numbering Routing Areas (RAs). The identifiers related to the RA are Routing Area Code (RAC) and Routing Area Identification (RAI).
RAC
The RAC is a 1-byte hexadecimal code. It is used to uniquely identify an RA within an LA.
RAI
The RAI is used to uniquely identify an RA worldwide. The RAI consists of four parts: MCC, MNC, LAC, and RAC. It can also be presented by LAI + RAC. Figure 10-15 shows the components of the RAI. Figure 10-15 Components of the RAI

10.5.15 PLMN Value Tag

This section defines the PLMN value tag and describes the principles of numbering PLMN value tags. The PLMN value tag is contained in the Master Information Block (MIB) and System Information Block 1 (SIB1) as an information element. The PLMN value tag in the MIB changes after an SIB1 is updated. After the UE detects the change in the PLMN value tag, it automatically reads the new SIB1. When a UE moves between neighboring cells that belong to different LAs or RAs, the UE needs to read the SIB1 of the destination cell to initiate a location update procedure, which requires that the two cells have different PLMN value tags. Therefore, during network planning, different value ranges should be allocated to the PLMN value tags of any two geographically neighboring areas (including scenarios where one area is part of the other area). The two areas can be two LAs, two RAs, or one LA and one RA. During parameter configuration, the PLMN value tags of different value ranges should be assigned to any neighboring areas after negotiation. There is no intersection between the value ranges. The area can be an LA or RA. The PLMN value tags of LAs or RAs vary within the specified range. As a result, a UE can always read different PLMN value tags when moving across the areas and thus correctly reads the SIB1.
NOTE
In practice, if a cell supports PS services, the PLMN value tag of the cell varies within the specified value range of the RA to which the cell belongs. If a cell does not support PS services, the PLMN value tag of the cell varies within the specified value range of the LA to which the cell belongs.
Figure 10-16 shows an example of planning the value ranges of PLMN value tags. Figure 10-16 Example of planning the value ranges of PLMN value tags
