Abis Bypass Feature Parameter Description
2 Overview
Overview
2.1 Introduction
In the chain topology, if a BTS on the network is powered off or a transmission link is faulty,
services on all the BTSs following the faulty BTS or following the faulty transmission link are
interrupted. The GTMU stops working if the BTS is powered off. For example, in a chain
topology without the Abis Bypass as shown in Figure 2-1, if BTS 2 is powered off and its GTMU
stops working, the services on both BTS 2 and BTS 3 are interrupted.
Figure 2-1 Influence of BTS power failure without Abis Bypass
Abis Bypass is introduced in the network with the chain topology to avoid the problem of service
interruption on other BTSs upon the power failure of one BTS. With the Abis Bypass feature,
a bypass transmission link is formed within the BTS that is powered off to transfer data to other
BTSs following the faulty BTS on the chain. Therefore, the power failure of a BTS will not
affect the normal services on the subsequent BTSs on the chain. For example, in a chain topology
with Abis Bypass as shown in Figure 2-2, the bypass board within BTS 2 provides a bypass
transmission link if the GTMU stops working upon power failure of BTS 2. In this case, only
the services on BTS 2 are interrupted without affecting the services on BTS 3.

2 Overview
The BSS uses bypass loopback upon power failure to identify whether a failure is due to a faulty
transmission link or the BTS power failure.

3 Technical Description
Technical Description
For BTS3900 series, the Abis bypass function is implemented by setting DIP switches S4 and
S5 on the GTMU.
l
When the Abis interface uses TDM transmission, DIP switches S4 and S5 must support
this function.
When the Abis interface uses IP over E1 transmission, DIP switch S4 must support this
function.
Table 3-1 and Table 3-2 describe the bits of DIP switches S4 and S5, respectively.

Abis Bypass Feature Parameter Description
3 Technical Description
If Abis Bypass is activated and the Abis interface uses IP over E1 transmission:
1.
When an upper-level BTS experiences a power failure, call drop or mute voice problems
will be present on lower-level BTSs for about 5s. As shown in Figure 3-2, when BTS 1 is
powered off, the PPP or MLPPP link between BTS 1 and BTS 2 is interrupted. BTS 2 then
renegotiates with the BSC to reestablish a PPP or MLPPP link. After the renegotiation is
complete and an OML is reestablished, the services on the lower-level BTSs are restored.
2.
When the upper-level BTS is powered on again, the services on lower-level BTSs are
interrupted. As shown in Figure 3-2, when BTS 1 is powered on again, the PPP or MLPPP
link between BTS 2 and the BSC is interrupted. BTS 2 then renegotiates with BTS 1 to
reestablish a PPP or MLPPP link. After the renegotiation is complete and an OML is
reestablished, the services on the lower-level BTSs are restored. According to laboratory
test results, the services on the adjacent lower-level BTS (BTS 2 in this example) are
interrupted for 4 to 15 minutes and the service interruption duration increases by 1 to 2
minutes for the BTS of a lower level (BTS 3 in this example).
To enable the Abis bypass function for cascaded BTSs, you need to set ABISBYPASSMODE
(BSC6900,BSC6910) to TRUE(Support) for each cascaded BTS.
If the transmission link between BTS 1 and BTS 2 is faulty, BTS 2 and all the following
BTSs cannot be observed on the BSC.
The loopback function upon power failure helps to identify the BTS power failure from the
transmission link fault. The function, however, is not applicable to the last BTS on the chain.
For the last BTS on the chain, set the DIP switches on its bypass board so that the transmission
link through the last BTS is short-circuited when the BTS is powered off. Therefore, the loopback
test can be performed on the BSC side to locate the fault.

5.1.2 Activation
Using MML Commands
On the BSC LMT, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Run the ADD BTS command to add an upper-level BTS. In this step, set Abis ByPass Mode
to TRUE(Support).
Step 2 Run the ADD BTS command to add a lower-level BTS. In this step, set Abis ByPass Mode to
TRUE(Support).
Step 3 Run the ADD BTSCONNECT command to connect the lower-level BTS to the upper-level
BTS. Repeat this step for each cascaded BTS and set the following parameters:
l Set Dest Node Type to BTS.
l Set Dest Father BTS Port No. to the number of the port that connects the lower-level BTS
to the upper-level BTS.
NOTE
A BTS connects its upper-level BTS or the BSC through port 0 and connects its lower-level BTS through
port 2.
Step 4 (Optional) If the Abis interface uses IP over E1 transmission and the type of links carried on the
E1/T1 link is PPP, add PPP links by performing the following steps:
NOTE
Local IP address and Peer IP address must be set to 0.0.0.0 for PPP links over the port that connects the
BTS to the BSC or upper-level BTS.
