1.1 Position of BSC in the System

The ZXC10 BSCB of ZTE complies with the 3GPP2 series of standard protocols. It is a
new-generation product designed based on the All-IP platform and provides the functions
of the base station controller (BSC) and packet control function (PCF) subsystem in the
CDMA2000 radio access network (RAN). It is an important component in the CDMA2000
1X/1xEV-DO system.
The ZXC10 BSCB can support both CDMA2000 1X and 1xEV-DO Rev.A based on a same
platform. It supports hybrid insertion of the 1X and 1xEV-DO Rev.A boards. The system
is backward compatible with the IS-95 and can be smoothly upgraded to the CDMA2000
1xEV-DO Rev.B.
The ZXC10 BSCB supports the functions of the legacy mobile station domain (LMSD)
phase in the CDMA2000 All-IP network. In addition, it supports the IOS5.0 standard,
separation of signaling and bearer, and the A1p/A2p interface. It can use the IP transport
technology to access the CDMA2000 core network that implements LMSD.
Note:
Both the BSC and BSCB described in the manual refer to the ZXC10 BSCB.

ZXC10 BSCB Technical Manual
Figure 1-1 Network Structure
The overall network structure for the LMSD phase of the All-IP network consists of the
radio access network and core network that are independent from each other.
l Radio access network
The radio access network is located between the mobile station and the core network.
It processes wireless signals, terminates wireless protocols, and implements
connection between the mobile station and the core network. The radio access
network consists of two parts: BSC/PCF (usually called BSC) and BTS.
In the CDMA2000 radio access network, the BSC functions as the control unit of
the BSS. It mainly implements call processing, service selection, resource allocation,
network supervision, and BTS access.
l Core network
The core network implements the functions, such as mobility management, network
authentication, and public network interface. The core network mainly involves the
circuit switching (CS) domain and the packet switching (PS) domain. The CS core
network consists of the NEs, such as MSCe, MGW, MRFP, SGW, SCPe, and HLRe.
The PS core network consists of the NEs, such as PDSN and AAA.
The CS core network supports two transport technologies (IP and TDM) to implement
access of the BTS system. The CS core network can interact with the TIA/EIA/IS-41
network, GSM MAP network, and fixed PSTN network.
1.1.2 CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A

Figure 1-2 shows the reference model of the CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A radio access
network.
1-2

Chapter 1 System Overview
Figure 1-2 Network Structure
The CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A system consists of access terminals, the radio access
network, and the core network.
l Access terminal
An access terminal is a device that provides data connections for users. It can be
connected to a computer device, such as PC, or act as an independent data device,
such as mobile phone.
l Radio access network
The radio access network provides wireless bearer between the core network and
access terminals. It is responsible for establishing, maintaining, and releasing
wireless channels, and implements wireless resource management and mobility
management. The radio access network mainly consists of the functional entities,
including the access network, packet control function (PCF, and access network
authentication/authorization/accounting (AN-AAA).
The access network consists of the BSC and BTSs. It is a network device that
provides data connections between the packet switched network and access
terminals. It implements data receive and transmit of BTSs, call control, and mobility
management.
1-3

The PCF works together with the access network to control wireless channels related
to packet data services. For actual implementation of the BSCB, the PCF and BSC are
deployed together and the PCF communicates with the PDSN through the A10/A11
interface.
AN-AAA refers to the logical entity for the access network to implement access
authentication and user authorization. It exchanges the parameters and results of
access authentication with the access network through the A12 interface.
l Core network
The core network consists of the packet core network and switching core network.
The packet core network mainly consists of the functional entities, including PDSN
and AAA, while the switching core network mainly consists of the MSCe.
1.2 BSC System Hardware Structure

Figure 1-3 shows the appearance of the BSC cabinet.
1-4

Figure 1-3 Appearance of a Single BSC Cabinet
1. Power distribution subrack 3. Service subrack 5. GCM subrack

2. Service subrack 4. Service subrack 6. Fan subrack
The BSC cabinet comprises the power distribution subrack, fan subrack, service subracks,
and GCM subrack.
The service subrack integrates various functional boards into an independent unit to
implement various services. With different functional boards, the service subrack can be
classified into the level 1 switching subrack, control subrack, and resource subrack.
1-5

Level 1 Switching Subrack (BPSN)

The level 1 switching subrack is also called BPSN subrack because it uses the BPSN
backplane. As the core switching system of the BSC, the BPSN subrack provides essential
channels for functional entities inside and outside the system for data transmission. The
level 1 switching subrack exchanges media stream data including voice and data services,
and provides various levels of QoS for different users based on Service Level Agreement
(SLA). The level 1 switching subrack is unnecessary for a small-capacity office.
Control Subrack (BCTC)

The control subrack is also called BCTC subrack because it uses the BCTC subrack.
As the control center of the BSC, it manages and controls the whole system, including
exchange of control flow data such as signaling and protocol control messages, and
generation of clock signals. The control subrack is unnecessary for a small-capacity office
because the control functions are integrated in the resource subrack.
Resource Subrack (BUSN)

The resource subrack is also called BUSN or BGSN subrack because it uses the BUSN
or BGSN backplane. The resource subrack provides external interfaces of the BSC and
processes various modes of access and lower-layer protocols.
GCM Subrack
The BSC that is configured with the GCM must be configured with a GCM subrack. As
an important part of the BSC, the GCM subrack receives and distributes GPS system
signals. To meet the market demand, the GCM subrack also receives GLONASS signals
and supports the Plough satellite navigation and positioning system, which is the Chinese
regional satellite navigation system.
If a BSC is configured with the ICM board, the GCM subrack is unnecessary.
Power Distribution Subrack

As an absolutely necessary part, the power distribution subrack implements lightning
protection, power filter distribution, and power and environment monitoring.
Fan Subrack
The BSC cabinet admits three fan subracks and one top-mounted fan. The fan subrack
monitors the running status of fan modules and implements automatic fan speed
adjustment to form a close channel with air led-in from the bottom and led-out from the
top.

It provides the function of mobility management, including registration (special
authentication process involved), shared secret data (SSD) update, terminal
authentication, parameter update, status query, and message waiting indication.
l Authentication and encryption
à It supports 1X system control, and SSD update and special authentication of the
service channel.
1-7

à It supports IS-856 authentication of the 1xEV-DO system and authentication on

the access network.
à It supports encryption for voice, data, and signaling services.
l Terrestrial circuit management
à It supports allocating and releasing terrestrial circuits.
à It supports blocking and unblocking terrestrial circuits.
à It supports resetting terrestrial circuits and the global system.
l Power control
CDMA2000 1X power control
The power control of the CDMA2000 1X system is to control the actual transmit power
of mobile phones or BTSs in terms of radio propagation. This helps to reduce the
transmit power of mobile phones or BTSs to a great extent, and thus reduce the
power consumption of the mobile phones or BTSs and interference of the entire CDMA
network.
Power control is classified into forward power control and reverse power control, which
are implemented independently. Reverse power control is to control the transmit
power of mobile phones while forward power control is to control the transmit power
of BTSs. In the CDMA cellular mobile system, the available power control modes are
as follows:
à Reverse open-loop power control
à Reverse closed-loop power control
à Reverse outer-loop power control
à Forward closed-loop power control
1xEV-DO power control
In the 1xEV-DO system, the forward power is constant and therefore forward power
control is not required. The 1xEV-DO power control mainly refers to the reverse power
control, including open-loop power estimation and closed-loop power correction.
Reverse power control is used to control the output power of access terminals and
thus ensure the quality of reverse links. Meanwhile, reverse power control helps to
minimize the interference generated and maximize system capacity. To acquire the
maximum system capacity, the average signal to noise ratio (SNR) of reverse links for
each user must support the acceptable performance with minimum overhead.
The 1xEV-DO reverse power control consists of the following three parts:
à Open-loop power control: The access terminal judges reverse link conditions
according to the receive power of forward pilot channels and adjusts the initial
transmit power accordingly to compensate path loss.
à Closed-loop power control: The access network reports the information of power
control through the forward reverse power control (RPC) channels according
1-8

to demodulation performance of reverse data. After that, the access terminal

adjusts the reverse pilot transmit power according to the information.
à Outer power control: The BSC adjusts the comparison threshold in inner-loop
power control according to the frame quality of reverse links. The access network
judges whether data frames are good through CRC check.
l Handoff control
CDMA2000 1X handoff control
à Softer handoff and soft handoff: The BSC supports softer handoff and soft handoff
of up to six parties.
à Frequency-change semi-soft handoff with different carrier borders: It includes
three modes, that is, handover, hand-down, and frequency-change semi-soft
handoff with MS assisted. For IS95A terminals, it supports the frequency-change
handoff algorithm with BTS assisted. For terminals of IS95B and later versions,
it supports the handoff algorithm with candidate pilot search assisted.
à Soft handoff between BSCs: It includes the FCH soft handoff between
interconnected BSCs and SCH soft handoff between interconnected BSCs.
à Hard handoff between BSCs
à Inner-BSC access handoff
à Inter-BSC access handoff
à Handoff between the 1X network and the 1xEV-DO network
1xEV-DO handoff control
à Idle handoff: It supports idle handoff of access terminals across cells, BTSs,
BSCs/PCFs, and PDSNs.
à Soft handoff add/Softer handoff add
à Soft handoff/Softer handoff drop
à Forward virtual handoff
à A13 handoff (idle handoff) between access terminals
à Cross-subnet handoff in the access network
à Idle handoff between the 1X network and the 1xEV-DO network
à Activated data service handoff between the 1X network and the 1xEV-DO network
à Hard handoff (based on A16 interface) between access networks
à Soft handoff (based on A17/A18/A19 interface) between access networks
l Operation and maintenance management
It implements O&M management for BSCs and BTSs, including version download,
data configuration and synchronization, alarm, and diagnosis test.
l Voice encoding
1-9

It supports QCELP 8K, QCELP 13K, 8K EVRC, and 4GV-NB voice coding.
l TrFO/RTO
TrFO/RTO is one of the functions implemented in the LMSD phase of the CDMA2000
All-IP network.
TrFO is short for Transcoder Free Operation. It indicates that two mobile stations
have the same network capability in encoding/decoding MS-MS calls. TrFO transmits
compressed voice data without any encoder/decoder through bearer channels of the
packet network between traditional mobile phones. The transcoder is deployed on
the network side and is associated with the MGW. In this way, the TrFO improves
bandwidth utilization and reduces loop delay. In addition, the TrFO improves voice
quality.
RTO is short for remote transcoder operation. It indicates the network capability in
matching incompatible encoding/decoding between two points. RTO attempts to use
a single transcoder to match incompatible encoding/decoding to establish bearer
channels. Ideal compressed voice data is transmitted between two points. In the
case of no single transcoder available, two Tandem transcoders are required to find
a matching transcoder between two points. RTO is a special case of TrFO.
l Voice service
It supports voice originating and receiving of the mobile station, and release of the
mobile station, MSC, and BSC.
l 1X packet data service
For the air interface, the forward direction uses the RC4 to provide up to 307.2kbit/s
transmit rate and the reverse direction uses the RC3 to provide up to 153.6kbit/s
transmit rate.
l 1xEV-DO data service
The 1xEV-DO Release 0 system provides up to 2.4Mbit/s transmit rate in forward
direction and up to 153.6kbit/s transmit rate in reverse direction. The 1xEV-DO Rev.A
system provides up to 3.1Mbit/s transmit rate in forward direction and up to 1.8Mbit/s
transmit rate in reverse direction. In the case of three carriers bound, the 1xEV-DO
Rev.B system provides up to 14.7Mbit/s transmit rate in forward direction and up to
5.4Mbit/s transmit rate in reverse direction (with 6850 chip).
l Supplementary service
à It supports call waiting, three-way calling, call forwarding, and call transferring.
à It generates dual-tone multi-frequency tones. When receiving DTMF signaling
from a mobile station, the BSC generates a DTMF tone. The BSC supports Single
Tone DTMF and Burst DTMF.
l Short message
à The mobile station receives or sends short messages through control channels.
à The mobile station receives or sends short messages through service channels.
1-10

l Circuit data service
à It provides the circuit data service with up to 14.4kbit/s transmit rate defined in
the IS-707 standard.
à It supports accessing a bypass modem directly to the IP network.
à It supports E-mail receive and transmit, WWW service, FTP service, and
terminal-based bank charging services, such as ATM and POS (sales terminal).
à It supports PC-based fax.

à It supports dial-up network access.
à It supports access to the VPN.
l Concurrent service
The concurrent service supports the co-existence of voice and data services, that is,
data can be transmitted while a call is being made. The concurrent service requires
mobile phones supporting the CDMA2000 1X Release A protocol.
l Broadcast-multicast service
The broadcast-multicast service (BCMCS) is an application developed based on the

1xEV-DO system. It provides users with broadcast/multicast services. The service is
provided to improve the data efficiency per carrier fan of operators. For example, to
provide the 400kbit/s BCMCS service, if 30 users in each carrier fan use the BCMCS
service, the equivalent forward traffic can reach to 12 Mbit/s.
l Call test
à The mobile station initiates markov, including 8K full rate, 8K variable rate, 13K
full rate, and 13K variable rate.
à The EMS initiates markov, including 8K full rate, 8K variable rate, 13K full rate,
and 13K variable rate. The MSC is not required.
à The mobile station initiates a TDSO call.
à The EMS initiates a TDSO call.
l V5 interface
It implements direct interconnection between the BSC and PSTN. In addition, it

supports the V5 interface and roaming of V5 users between BSCs.
l 4GV-NB function (EVRC_B transcoder)
Compared with other transcoders, the EVRC-B has the following advantages:
à It provides operators with flexible selection: voice quality first or network capacity
first.
à It combines QLIC (elimination of almost linear interference, involving interference

of pilot and service channels) and EVRC-B, which increases the total network
capacity by 40%.
1-11

Generally, compared with other encoders, the EVRC-B greatly improves the network
capacity of voice data and reduces user cost.
l Dedicated network
The army network requires special encryption for voice data and implements calls
made between users of different confidential levels. In addition, the army network
requires the functions of plain-text scheduling and encrypted-text scheduling.
l PTT service
It supports the PTT service based on the global open trunking architecture (GOTA)
technology. The service involves location management, group call, private call,
floor management, group management, supplementary service, and dispatcher
management.
l Wireless public telephone
à It supports the wireless public telephone based on inverted polar accounting.
à It supports the wireless public telephone based on pulse accounting.
l VoIP (with QoS)
VoIP is the voice service born on the IP network. It is relatively sensitive to delay.
The ZTE 1xEV-DO Rev.A system provides the QoS function. It provides application
with different priority services, which helps to efficiently improve the performance of
the applications that are sensitive to delay and thus ensures the experience of VoIP
users to a certain extent.
Meanwhile, the ZTE EV-DO Rev.A system implements the enhanced multi-stream
packet application (EMPA), processing of non HDLC-like packets, and AN-Based
ROHC compression defined in C.S0063-A and A.S0008-B of the 3GPP2. This
efficiently improves utilization of wireless bandwidth.
l VT (with QoS)
VT refers to the video telephone service based on the EV-DO RevA packet switching,
that is, mobile communication with real-time duplex audio and video. The protocol
stack of VT service involves two planes.
à Control plane: It uses SIP/UDP/IP as the signaling protocol for call control.
à Media plane: It uses RTP/UDP/IP as the transport protocol for voice data and
video data.
1.5 BSC System Features

l All-IP network solution
à The ZTE BSC system is developed based on All-IP architectures. It possesses
a long lifecycle and meets development requirements of future network and
services.
à All outward interfaces on the BSC system directly support All-IP networking.
1-12

à Due to using IP switching inside the BSC system, the BSC system directly
supports All-IP network transmission which is acknowledged as the most
effective transmission in the communication field.
à The BSC system is designed with QoS based on IP.

2.1 Principles of the BSC System

The BSC is a wireless access product of high starting point and is based on the All-IP
technology. It has two levels of switching in terms of structure.
l Level-1 switching: For IP services, it can be Ethernet switching, switching through the
CrossBar+ network processor, or direct switching through a network processor.
l Level-2 switching: For IP services, it can be Ethernet switching.
The BSC can access and process various service streams, including:
l Circuit service streams

l IP service streams
l ATM service streams
l HIRS service streams
Various types of services can map each other.
l Circuit service is mapped as IP service through encoding and IP service is mapped

as circuit service through decoding.
l HIRS service is mapped as IP service through frames and IP service is mapped as
HIRS service through frames.
l ATM service is mapped as IP service through cells and IP service is mapped as ATM
service through cells.
l ATM service is indirectly mapped as circuit service through IP and circuit service is
indirectly mapped as ATM service through IP.
l HIRS service is indirectly mapped as circuit service through IP and circuit service is
indirectly mapped as HIRS service through IP.
2-1

l HIRS service is indirectly mapped as ATM service through IP and ATM service is
indirectly mapped as HIRS service through IP.
The BSC is the control part of the BTS subsystem. It provides the Abis interface for
communication with the transceiver of the BTS, A/Ap interface for communication with the
mobile switch, and A interface for communication with the PDSN. In addition, it implements
control, management, and maintenance on the mounted one or more BTSs, and provides
service channels and signaling interfaces for communication with the MSC, MSCe, or
MGW.
The BSC equipment uses the standard 19" rack. Each rack can be equipped with four 8U
standard subracks. If the GPS subrack is required, only three standard 8U subracks can
be equipped. The BSC general subrack complies with the standard CompactPCI design
and has the space for 8U subracks. In addition, all the boards are inserted from the front
or back of the BSC.
The BSC consists of the level switching subsystem (BPSN, resource subsystem
(BUSN/BGSN), control subsystem (BCTC), and power allocation subsystem.
2.2 Level-1 Switching Subsystem (BPSN)

The level-1 switching subsystem (BPSN) is the core packet switching node of the BSC. It
consists of the PSN4V/PSN2, GLIQV/GLI2/GLI4, UIMC/UIMC2, and BPSN backplane.
2.2.1 Function
As the core switching system of the BSC, the level-1 switching subsystem provides
inner-system and inter-system functional entities with necessary data transmission
channels. It implements interaction with various data, including timing service, signaling
service, voice service, and data service. In addition, it provides the quality of service
(QoS) according to service requirements or different users.
The offices of relatively small capacity need not be configured with level-1 switching
subracks.

3.1 Overview
The basic task of the Operation & Maintenance Module (OMM) is to provide a means of
maintenance and ensure that the CDMA BSS system works in proper, efficient, reliable,
economic, and secure manner.
With the support of the database system, the OMM can implement centralized operation
and maintenance management for the CDMA BSSB system, including management for
the BSCB and BTSB. In addition, the OMM supports local operation and maintenance on
the BTSB.
Figure 3-1 shows the system structure of the OMM.
Figure 3-1 System Structure of OMM
3-1

From the figure shown in Figure 3-1, you can see that the OMM system involves the server,
client, and local maintenance BTS.
The OMM supports various networking schemes for remote operation and maintenance,
including E1/T1, Digital Data Network (DDN), PSTN, and X.25. In addition, the OMM
supports independent networking and hybrid networking.
3.2 Function
The main functions of the OMM are as follows:
l Configuration management
It manages various configurations of the BSS system. No matter what changes made
to the configuration of the network, system, or unit because of certain reasons, the
changes will take effect after data configuration on the configuration management
interface. Configuration management involves physical resource configuration,
wireless resource configuration, and No.7 signaling configuration.
l Performance management
It enables the performance measurement function of the BSS system to collect
and process measurement data, and take necessary control measures for network
management according to the measurement result. This helps to improve general
performance of the network. Performance management involves traffic and
signaling performance measurement, QoS measurement, availability measurement,
throughput measurement, and handoff measurement.
l Fault management
It is classified into alarm management and diagnosis test. Alarm management helps
to receive fault reports with alarm details from network units and monitor network
status, including the status of circuit group, network node, signaling system, MSC
area, registration area, and cell. If exceptions occur in the network, the system
converts the information into the effect of audio, video, or screen display, and prompts
the operator accordingly.
When an alarm occurs or the system performance degrades, the operator can start
the related test program to implement fault diagnosis and fault locating test. After that,
the operator can take necessary maintenance measures and reduce the impact of the
fault on network operation to a great extent. For the modules that can be replaced on
site, the precision of fault locating is not greater than 3 PCS. Diagnosis test involves
board test and inter-module communication link test.
l Security management
It helps to prevent unauthorized personnel from modifying or damaging key data

maliciously or unmaliciously on the network maintenance interface. The system
uses different operation levels to implement necessary limit on the operation rights
of operators. Based on this, the security management system integrates with the
right management module of the OS, which constructs a whole security system.
3-2

Chapter 3 Operation and Maintenance Management
In addition, the system provides a log management module for fault analysis and
locating after a security fault occurs.
l System tools
It provides tools, including dynamic data management tool, service observation tool,
server database monitoring program, data backup and restoration tool, and report
tool. These special tools provide concrete proposals related to system optimization,
which gets twice the maintenance result with half the effort.
3.3 Networking Mode

Figure 3-2 shows the three-layer networking of the operation and maintenance center
(OMC) system. The system consists of the OMM, local EMS (LOMC), and provincial EMS
(POMC).

is, the OMC_R (wireless-side OMC) and OMC_S (switching-side OMC) can be deployed
together or independently. The LOMC can manage about 10 NEs (one NE corresponds
to one OMM) and the POMC can manage about 40 NEs.
3-3

When the number of NEs is relatively small, a two-layer networking can be used for
constructing a POMC. As shown in Figure 3-3, the LOMC is omitted and the POMC is
constructed directly based on the OMM.

Service signals, also called media stream, refer to information exchanged between users
including voice, image, and video.
Control signals
Control signals, also called control flow, refer to signals that provide control mechanism to
exchange service data like signaling and control protocol messages.
Clock signals
Clock signals are time or frequency signals that enable normal system operations.
4.2 Overall Signal Flow Direction of the BSC System

The BSC system uses the design of control flows in isolation from media flows to protect the
system bus from congestion caused by signal flow overload, hence improving the system
capacity. Figure 4-1 illustrates the overall signal flow direction of the BSC system.
4-1

Figure 4-1 Overall Flow Direction of the BSC System
• If the system is configured the narrowband signaling vocoder module need not
with A1p/A2p interface, process module and be configured.
The clock module provides clock signals to every subrack.

The backplane of the BUSN is configured with two Ethernets: one for control flows and
the other for media flows.
If the system is configured with a BPSN, the media flows from every BUSN are exchanged
in the BPSN. If no, the media flows are exchanged in the local UIMU/UIMU2.
If the system is configured with a BCTC, the control flows from every BUSN are sent to
the BCTC for interaction through the control flow Ethernet. If no, the control flows of each
BUSN are exchanged in the local UIMU/UIMU2.
4.3 1x Service Signal Flow Direction and Connection

Both the IP BTS and Hirs BTS support the 1x service.
Because the service flow of the RP interface 1x data service is the same as that of the DO
service, the description of the 1x flow does not contain the data service.

4.3.1 Abis Interface Signal Flow Direction and Connection

The Abis interface signal flow includes the Abis interface control plane signal flow and the
Abis interface media plane signal flow.
4.3.1.1 Control Flow Direction and Connection of Abis Interface
Direction of Abis Interface Control Signals Led into the IP BTS

The IP BTS supports both E1 access and Ethernet access modes.
In E1 access mode, the ABPM, ABPM2 or ABPM3 serves as the interface board of the
BSC.
When the ABPM is used as the interface board, the TCP connection of the IP BTS
terminates at the ABPM. Figure 4-2 illustrates the control flow direction.
Figure 4-2 Control Flow Direction in ABPM Access Mode
When the ABPM2 or ABPM3 is used as the interface board, the TCP connection of the IP
BTS terminates at the BCTMP. Figure 4-3 illustrates the control flow direction.

Figure 4-6 Control Flow Direction in HGM2 Access Mode
4.3.1.2 Media Stream Direction and Connection of Abis Interface

An IP BTS can access a BSC via an E1 or an Ethernet. The ABPM/ABES board gets the
IP address of the 1xSDU by querying the channel table and transfers media stream IP
messages to the 1xSDU for service layer processing. Figure 4-7 illustrates the signal flow
direction.
4-7

Figure 4-7 Abis Interface Media Stream Direction for IP BTS
The HGM converts the media stream HIRS messages from the HIRS BTS into IP
messages and then transfers them to the 1xSDU for service layer processing. Figure 4-8
illustrates the signal flow direction.

4.3.2 Signal Flow Direction and Connection of A/Ap/V5 Interface

The A/Ap/V5 interface signal flow includes the A/Ap/V5 interface control plane signal flow
and the A/Ap/V5 interface media plane signal flow.
4.3.2.1 Control Flow Direction and Connection of A/Ap Interface

The MTP3 signaling connection of the A interface terminates at the 1xCMP and the MTP2
connection is realized at the SPB, as illustrated in Figure 4-9.
4-9

Figure 4-9 A Interface Control Flow Direction
The SUA serves to transmit Ap interface control signaling and its connection terminates at
the APCMP while the SigIPI or IPI2 provides only the Ethernet interface, as illustrated in
Figure 4-10.
Figure 4-10 Ap Interface Control Flow Direction
4.3.2.2 Control Flow Direction and Connection of V5 Interface

The only difference between the BSC using the V5 interface and the BSC using the A/Ap
interface lies that the former uses the V5CMP, instead of the 1xCMP/ApCMP, to function
as the Abis interface control plane. See 4.3.1.1 Control Flow Direction and Connection of
Abis Interface for the Abis interface control flow direction.
Figure 4-11 illustrates the V5 interface control flow direction.
4-10

Figure 4-11 V5 Interface Control Flow Direction
l The V5 interface supports the DTB other than the SDTB.

l The V5SPB must be in the same subrack as the DTB where the V5 E1 bearing
signaling is located.
l The V5CMP processes V5 layer 3 signaling, and the V5SPB processes V5 layer 2
signaling while the DTB processes V5 layer 1 signaling and monitors E1 status.
l LE refers to the local exchange of the PSTN.
4.3.2.3 Media Stream Direction and Connection of A/Ap/V5 Interface

The media stream signals are transferred by the VTC/IWF via a HW to the DTB/SDTB and
then sent to the MSC. Figure 4-12 illustrates the signal flow.
Figure 4-12 A Interface Media Stream Signal Direction
The media stream signals of the Ap interface are encapsulated as RTP/IP frames by the
1xSDU and then sent to the MGW via the IPI, as illustrated in Figure 4-13.
4-11

Figure 4-13 Ap Interface Media Stream Signal Direction
Note:
In the BSS, the media stream signal direction of the V5 interface is the same as that of the
A interface.
4.3.3 Inter-BSC Soft Handoff Signal Flow and Connection

Both the HGM and IBBE can be used to implement inter-BSC soft handoffs, where the
HGM uses the E1/STM1 while the IBBE uses the Ethernet for transmission.
4.3.3.1 Inter-HGM/HGM2 Soft Handoff Signal Direction and Connection

Figure 4-14 illustrates the signal directions of the control flow and the media stream for
inter-BSC soft handoffs when the HGM/HGM2 is used.

4.4 DO Service Signal Flow Direction and Connection

Only the IP BTS supports the DO service.
The DO service signal flow includes DO service control flow and DO service media stream.
4.4.1 DO Service Control Flow Direction and Connection

The DOCMP processes air interface signaling of the DO service while the SPCF processes
RP interface signaling. The control flow direction of the DO service is similar with that of
1x service, as illustrated in Figure 4-16.
4-14

Figure 4-16 DO Service Control Flow Direction
A small-capacity office needs the DOBICMP other than the DOCMP. In a large-capacity
office, common sessions are set up at the DOCMP. Then, the DOCMP sends signaling to
the DOBICMP to set up broadcast services.
4.4.2 DO Service Media Stream Direction and Connection

The DO media stream signals are sent to the DOSDU, at which its air interface RLP
connection terminates, to capsulate as GRE messages and then transmitted to the UPCF
via the A8 interface. After undergoing an A8-to-A10 conversion, these messages are
capsulated as A10 GRE messages in the UPCF and then sent to the PDSN via the IPCF.
Figure 4-17 illustrates the signal direction of DO service media streams.
4-15

4.5 PTT Service Signal Flow Direction and Connection

The PTT service signal flow includes PTT service control plane signal flow and PTT service
media plane signal flow.
4.5.1 PTT Service Control Flow Direction and Connection

The SPCF/IPCF that functions as the PTT service control plane is integrated with the
SPCF/IPCF providing the 1x data service or DO service. Figure 4-20 illustrates the signal
flow direction of control flows.

Both the 1XCMP and APCMP support the PTT service. The signaling flow of the PTT
service is similar with that of the 1x data service.

5-3

the FE interface and the BSC

sharing of the IBBE.
l The A12, A13, A10, A11, A10d, A11d and A16 interfaces are provided by the IPCF.
l The A12, A13, A10, A11, A10d, and A11d interfaces can share the same port, which
is implemented by configuring the port with different IP addresses.
5.3 Soft Handoff Configuration Constraints

l The HGM supports voice service soft handoffs between BSCs only.
l The BSC cannot be configured with the HGM and the IBBE at the same time to connect
with the same soft handoff office but one BSC can be configured with the HGM and
the IBBE respectively to connect with different offices.
l HGW soft handoff configuration constraints are described as follows:
à One IP BSC supports only one HGM/HGM2 for interconnection between BSCs.
à Each ASM board of the HIRS BSC is connected with the DTB board of the IP BSC
via at most 2 E1s. Therefore, for the IP BSC and the HIRS BSC interconnected
with each other, each office supports at most 4 E1s, that is, at most 8 M physical
bandwidth.
à For the IP BSCs interconnected with each other, each office supports at most 32
E1s.
à The BSC configured with the HGM supports at most 32 E1s for soft handoff
interconnection.
à The BSC configured with the HGM2 supports at most 62 E1s for soft handoff
interconnection.
l IBBE
à One BSC supports multiple IBBEs.

same time.
l Number of soft handoff offices
5-4

à For the BSC configured with the 755-type MP board, one BSC can be connected
with at most 8 offices.
à For the BSC in which all the MP boards configured are of type 85XX, one BSC

à For the BSC configured with the HGM/HGM2, one BSC can be connected with
at most 6 BSCs.
à For the BSC configured with the IBBE board and one or more 755-type MP
boards, one BSC can be connected with at most 8 BSCs.
à For the BSC configured with the IBBE board and only the 85XX-type MP boards,
one BSC can be connected with at most 50 BSCs.
5.4 Interface Coexistence Description

The A interface can coexist with the V5 interface, or the Ap interface in multi-CN mode but
the Ap interface cannot coexist with the V5 interface.
When the WLL access network configured with the V5 interface is expected to provide
standard SMS, location and OTAF services, the V5 interface coexists with the A interface.

specifications do not meet the requirements above, the Ethernet-to-E1 mode cannot be
used.
Because the Abis interface supports IPOverE1, the Ethernet-to-E1 mode is recommended
for networking.

6.1 Abis Interface Networking Modes

The BSC Abis interface supports star, chain and mixed networking modes, as described
below.
Star Networking
Figure 6-1 illustrates the star networking mode of Abis interface.
Figure 6-1 Star Networking Mode
In the star networking mode, the BSC is directly connected with every BTS via an E1/T1,
a satellite, an SDH , or an Ethernet and all BTSs are end equipment. This mode has the
following features:
l Simple networking and convenient maintenance and engineering operation.
l High line reliability, benefiting from less routes that signals pass by.
Therefore, this mode is usually applied in dense areas.
Chain Networking Mode

Figure 6-2 illustrates the chain networking mode of Abis interface.
6-1

Figure 6-2 Chain Networking Mode
In the chain networking mode, multiple BTSs form a chain and access the BSC through
the first level BTS. Despite its low line reliability owing to more routes that signals have
to pass by, this mode is usually used in low density areas presenting zonal distribution to
save transmission devices. It is also applied in a site with multiple BTSs.
Hybrid Networking Mode

Figure 6-3 illustrates the hybrid star and chain networking mode of Abis interface.
Figure 6-3 Hybrid Networking Mode
With multiple topology structures, the hybrid networking has the following features:
l Compatible with existing transmission networks, hence saving network establishment

expenses and shortening network establishment periods for operators.
l Perfectly applied in complicated areas. Because of the wide application and
dispersion of BTSs, the hybrid network supporting various topology structures is
flexible for network establishment.
l Provides abundant transmission routes.

Chapter 6 Networking and Configuration
6.2 BSCB Shelf and Board Configuration Principle

6.2.1 SDU4 Configuration Principle
l The SDU4 can only be equipped in the BGSN shelf.
l Only the multi-core 1X SDU and DO SDU are supported and the multi-core BCSDU
is not supported.
l The SDU4 cannot co-exist with any MP board with the CPU type of 755. If an MP
board with CPU type of 755 exists in the BSC, the system does not support the SDU4.
6.2.2 UIM Configuration Principle

l Any service subrack must be configured with a pair of UIM/UIM2 boards.
l The UIMC/UIMC2 is configured in the BCTC and BPSN subracks.
l The UIMU/UIMU2 is configured in the BUSN subrack.
l The UIM/UIM2 is inserted in the 9th and 10th slots of the BCTC and BUSN and in
15th and 16th slots of the BPSN.
l The UIM and UIM2 can be configured in a BSC office, but the active and standby
boards are not interchangeable.
6.2.3 CHUB Configuration Principle

l A pair of CHUB boards must be configured when the BSC configuration exceeds
1×BCTC+2×BUSN.
l One pair of the CHUB can only support up to 21×BUSN/BPSN/BCTC subracks (not
including the BCTC subrack where the CHUB is located).
l The CHUB board can only be configured in the 15th and 16th slots of BCTC subrack.
When there are multiple BCTC subracks, it is suggested to configure the CHUB in this
BCTC subrack where the OMP/OMP2 is located.
l When the system capacity is beyond capacity of a pair of CHUB
(21×BUSN/BPSN/BCTC subracks), it is required to add a pair of CHUB. This
additional CHUB can be configured into 15th and 16th slots of any BCTC.
l Trunk cable is used to connect BCTSs where the two CHUBs are located respectively.
6.2.4 CLKG/CLKD/ICM Configuration Principle

l In the BSC, at least one pair of CLKGs or ICMs must be configured.
l When there is a BCTC subrack in the BSC , the CLKG/ICM is configured in the 13th
and 14th slots of BCTC where the OMP is located.
l If there is no BCTC subrack in the BSC, the CLKG/ICM is configured in the 15th and
16th slots of BUSN that the OMP is located.
l Every pair of CLKG /ICM board provides externally fifteen groups of system clock
interfaces and they can support up to fifteen subracks at most (including BUSN, BCTC
and BPSN).
6-3

l In the BSC, BPSN and BCTC require a group of system clock interfaces from the
CLKG/ICM board.
l When the BSC has more than fifteen subracks (including the BUSN , BCTC and
BPSN), it is required to add one pair of CLKD board and each pair of CLKD also
support fifteen subracks. At the same time, the CLKD can be configured in the 13th
and 14th slots of any BCTC.
6.2.5 MP Configuration Principle

l The OMP and RPU modules must be configured.
à The OMP/OMP2 is configured in the subracks 1 and 2.
à If the BCTC is configured, the OMP/OMP2 is configured in the 11th and 12th slots
of the control subrack.
à If a BUSN is configured, the OMP/OMP2 is configured in the in the 11th and 12th
slots of the BUSN.
à In the BSC, one pair of OMPs/OMP2s can be configured in active/standby mode.
Note:
The MP/MP2 is called OMP/OMP2 after being configured to the OMP and RPU
modules.
l Different services use different modules such as DOCMP , 1XCMP , APCMP, BCTMP,
DSMP , RMP and 1XUMP.
l Two types of modules can be configured in the MP/MP2.
l One BSC can be configured with one RMP.
6.2.6 BPSN Configuration Principle

l When more than two resource subracks are configured, a BPSN subrack is required.
l In the BPSN, the PSN4V/PSN2, GLIQV/GLI2 and UIMC/UIMC2 must be configured.
The PSN4V/PSN2 is configured in the 7th or 8th slot and the UIMC/UIMC2 is
configured in the 15th or 16th slot.
l The GLIQV/GLI2 must be configured in pair. Each pair of GLIQVs/GLI2s supports
four resource subracks. Each pair of GLIQVs/GLI2s are configured in adjacent slots.
l To facilitate future expansion, it is recommended to configure the GLIQV/GLI2 in slot
1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 13, or 14 preferably.
l When new CLI4 boards need to be added, the GLI4 and GLIQV/GLI2 boards cannot
be inserted mixedly. If a faulty GLIQV/GLI2 board needs to be replaced by a GLI4
board, the OMC provides the function of converting GLIQV/GLI2 into GLI4.
6-4

6.2.7 ABPM3 Configuration Principle

l ABPM3 is a version upgraded from ABPM. In addition to the above based functions,
the ABPM/ABPM2 supports the function of digit trunk in terms of hardware and
software. ABPM3 is classified into ABPM3D and ABPM3S.
l In the BGSN shelf, ABPM3S can be inserted in slots 1 to 8. In the BUSN shelf, the
ABPM3S can be inserted in slots 5 to 8 or slots 11 to 14, and occupies FE resources
of adjacent slots.
l The total number of ABPM, ABPM2, ABPM3, ABES, ABES2, IBBE, and IBBE2 cannot
exceed 99.
l ABPM3D is not recommended. If the E1 port is required, it is recommended to use
the ABPM2+DTB mode.
6.2.8 THUB Configuration Principle

l The BGSN shelf is highly integrated and the traffic in the control plane is huge.
Therefore, it is recommended that the BGSN be used together with the THUB. To be
specific, the BGSN shelf is connected to the THUB in trunk (4 x FE) mode.
l The THUB board must be inserted in slot 15/16 of the BCTC shelf or BUSN shelf. It
provides 11 pairs of trunk groups (4 x FE).
6.2.9 GUIM Configuration Principle

l The GUIM boards are configured in slots 9 and 10 of the BGSN subrack.
l The BGSN subrack is connected to the THUB via the trunk port groups FE3 to FE6
of the GUIM in the local subrack.
l Both RGUM1 and RGUM2 are the rear boards of the GUIM. The RGUM1 is configured
in slot 9 of the BGSN subrack while the RGUM2 is in slot 10.
6.2.10 Interchangeable Plug-in Principle of BSC Boards

The interchangeable insertion of service processing boards complies with the following
principle:
l The BCTC subrack can be configured with the MP/MP2/MP3, CLKG, ICM,
CHUB/THUB, and UIMC/UIMC2 boards other than any media plane board.
l The BUSN subrack supports interchangeable insertions of the MP/MP2/MP3, CLKG,
UIMU/UIMU2, GUIM and various service process boards.
l The ABPM/ABPM2/ABPM3 and DTB/SDTB boards must be configured in the same
subrack.
l The HGM/HGM2 and DTB/SDTB must be configured in the same subrack.
l The VTCD, IWFB and DTB/SDTB must be configured in the same subrack.
l For the BSC configured with the CLKG, the ICM is forbidden, and vice versa.
l For the BSC configured with the MSPB, the DTB is forbidden, and vice versa.
l When a BSC is configured with more than 15 subracks including the BUSN/BGSN,
BPSN and BCTC, an extra pair of CLKDs are required.
6-5

l When a BSC is configured with 3 or more BUSN/BGSN subracks, the CHUB board
is mandatory.
