towards Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) and EDGE+ while Universal
Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is evolving into High-Speed Packet Access
(HSPA), HSPA+, and LTE. The operators have to meet challenges of rising operation
expenditure (OPEX), continuous upgrading of GSM products, ever-growing service demands,
and increasingly intense competition. High integration, easy operation and maintenance (OM),
IP transmission, and support of GSM and UMTS of the BSC are concerned widely by the
operators in the industry.
The BSC6900 is an important network element (NE) of Huawei SingleRAN solution. It uses
the industry-leading multiple radio access technologies, IP transmission, and modular design.
It is characterized by high capacity, high integration, high performance, and low power
consumption.
The BSC6900 can be flexibly configured as a BSC6900 GSM, BSC6900 UMTS, or BSC6900
GU as required in different networks. The BSC6900 GSM, in compliance with 3GPP Release
8, operates as an independent NE to access the GSM network, and handles the functionalities
of the Base Station Controller(BSC). With the support for EDGE+, the BSC6900 GSM can be
upgraded to the BSC6900 GU through addition of UMTS boards and software upgrade.
This document describes the BSC6900 in independent mode, that is, the BSC6900 GSM.

2.4 Reliability
The resource pool design and redundancy mechanism are widely used in the system reliability
design of the BSC6900 GSM. 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.

2.4.1 System Reliability


The BSC6900 GSM 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

GBSS13.0 BSC6900 Product Description

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 normal 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 BSC6900 GSM 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
BSC6900 GSM 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 BSC6900 GSM 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.

GBSS13.0 BSC6900 Product Description

TNUa Board redundancy


XPUb 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 BSC6900 GSM 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.
 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.

Powerful Hardware Management Functions for Quickly Locating and Rectifying


Hardware Faults
The BSC6900 GSM provides precaution mechanism for hardware fault, thus ensuring that
sufficient time is available to rectify the fault in time before the services are disrupted.
The BSC6900 GSM provides functions such as status query, data configuration, and status
management of the internal physical devices.
When a hardware fault occurs, the BSC6900 GSM alerts the user by generating alarms and
flashing indicators and provides suggestions to guide the user in troubleshooting. The alarm is
cleared upon the rectification of the fault.
The BSC6900 GSM provides the functions of isolating the faulty part, such as activating or
deactivating the faulty part. When a faulty part needs to be replaced, the hot swapping
function enables the quick power-on of the substitute, thus reducing the time in fault
rectification.
In case of emergency, you can reset the board to quickly rectify the fault.

Advanced Software Management Functions for Secure and Smooth Upgrade


The BSC6900 GSM provides the remote upgrade tool, which enables the operator to upgrade
the software at the operation and maintenance center without affecting the ongoing services.
The remote upgrade tool provides the function of backing up the crucial data in the system.
When the upgrade fails, version rollback is performed immediately and the system returns to
normal in a short period.
After the upgrade is complete, version consistency check is performed to ensure the version
correctness.

Rich Tracing and Detection Mechanisms for Reliably Monitoring the Network
Status
The BSC6900 GSM provides the tracing and detection functions at different layers and levels
to accurately locate faults. The tracing and detection functions include user tracing, interface
tracing, message tracing, fault detection on the physical layer, fault detection on the data link
layer, and detection of other faults.
The tracing messages are saved as files, which can be viewed through the review tracing
function of the LMT.

Easy Equipment Installation, Commissioning, and Efficient Network Upgrade


Scheme for Quick Network Rollout
Before delivery, Huawei BSC6900 GSM is installed with boards, operating system, and
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.
