Architecture
2.1 Overview
Based on the all-IP platform, the GSM-R BSC6000 adopting the TDM/IP dual-plane
switching system meets the varying needs for network evolution. The BSC6900 GSM has a
modular design. The resource utilization and system reliability are enhanced by fully
interconnecting subracks and applying distributed resource pools to manage the service
processing units. The backplane is universal and every slot is common to different types of
boards so that different functions can be performed. In this way, the universality and evolution
of the hardware platform are improved.
The GSM-R BSC6000 is compatible with the hardware of the BSC6000 in the existing
network.
2.2 Hardware Architecture

design of the GSM-R BSC6000. The techniques of detecting and isolating the faults in the
boards and in the system are optimized and the software fault tolerance capability is improved
to enhance the system reliability.
Issue V1.2 (2011-10-10)

Page 13 of 29
2.4.1 System Reliability

The GSM-R BSC6000 system reliability is designed with the following features:
High reliable architecture design

The design of dual switching planes, with up to 480 Gbit/s GE star non-blocking
switching capability per subrack, solves the bottleneck and single point failure in the
deployment of the high-capacity GSM-R BSC6000.
Moreover, port trunking is adopted on the switching boards. The port trunking function
allows data backup in case of link failure, thus preventing inter-plane switchover and
cascading switchover and improving the reliability of intra-system communication.
Dual clock planes are used in clock transmission between the GCUa and the SCUb. Thus,
a single point of failure does not affect the functional operation of the system clock.
Resource pool design

In case of overload, the system achieves load sharing between the control plane and the
user plane by employing the resource pooling functionality. This effectively avoids
suspension because of overload, thus improving the resource utilization and system
reliability.
Redundancy mechanism
All the hardware in the GSM-R BSC6000 supports the redundancy mechanism. The
rapid switchover between active and standby parts improves the system reliability.
Moreover, with the quick fault detection and recovery feature, the impact of faults on the
service is minimized.
Flow control
The system performs flow control based on the CPU and memory usage. Thus, the
GSM-R BSC6000 can continue working by regulating the items pertaining to
performance monitoring, resource auditing, and resource scheduling in the case of CPU
overload and resource congestion. In this way, the system reliability is enhanced.
2.4.2 Hardware Reliability

The GSM-R BSC6000 hardware reliability is designed with the following features:
The system uses the multi-level cascaded and distributed cluster control mode. Several
CPUs form a cluster processing system. Each module has distinct functions. The
communication channels between modules are based on the backup design or
anti-suspension/breakdown design.
The system uses the redundancy design, as described in Table 2-7, to support hot swap of
boards and backup of boards and ports. Therefore, the system has a strong error tolerance
capability.

Board redundancy
When a pair of boards work in board redundancy mode, the two boards work in the active and standby
states respectively. The active board performs the related functions. The standby board backs up the data
on the active board in real time.
Isolation mechanism is used. When entity A fails to accomplish a task, entity B that has
the same functionalities as entity A takes over the task. Meanwhile, entity A is isolated
until it is restored.
When a board with a single functionality is faulty, the board can be restarted to rectify
the fault.
All boards support dual-BIOS. When one BIOS is faulty, the startup or operation of a
board is not affected.
The system uses the non-volatile memory to store important data.
With advanced integrated circuits, the system is characterized by high integration,

sophisticated technology, and high reliability.
All the parts of the system are of high quality and pass the aging test. The process of
hardware assembly is strictly controlled. These methods ensure the high stability and
reliability for long-term operation.
2.4.3 Software Reliability

The GSM-R BSC6000 software reliability is designed with the following features:
Scheduled check on crucial resources

The software check mechanism checks various software resources in the system. If
resources are out of service because of software faults, the check mechanism can release
the abnormal resources and generate related logs and alarms.
Task monitoring
When the software is running, internal software faults and some hardware faults can be
monitored through the monitoring process. The monitoring process monitors the task
running status and reports errors to the OM system.
Data check
The digital signature technique is adopted to prevent the software from being tampered
during transmission and storage.
The software performs regular or event-driven data consistency check, restores the data
selectively or preferably, and generates logs and alarms.
Issue V1.2 (2011-10-10)

Page 15 of 29
Data backup
Both the Back Administration Module and the host board support data backup to ensure
data reliability and consistency.
Operation logs
The system automatically records the history operations into logs. The operation logs
help in identifying and rectifying the faults caused by improper operations.

common data. In addition, it is correctly assembled and passes the strict test. You only need to
install the cabinet and cables on site. After the hardware installation is complete, you can load
software and data files to commission the software and hardware.
The GSM-R BSC6000 is compatible with the configuration of the BSC6000 in the existing
network. The BSC6000 can be upgraded to the GSM-R BSC6000 through hardware
adjustment and software upgrade, thus maximizing the resource utilization in the existing
network and reducing the cost of network rollout.
Steady Security Operation Mechanism, Preventing Improper Operations

The GSM-R BSC6000 provides man-machine interfaces and prompts users to repeatedly
confirm an important operation. This ensures that an operation is performed only when it is
required and prevents service disruptions caused by improper operations.
