WMFD-141600 Function name: MSC POOL Description: In the previous network structure, GSM or UMTS, an RAN node can be connected with only one CN node (a MSC or a SGSN). 3GPP introduces a new networking mode called IU-FLEX (also called MSC pool in the CS domain) in the R5 (TS 23.236). This networking mode allows on RAN node to connect with multiple CN nodes. The following figure shows the network structure of IU-FLEX:

WMFD-141700 Function name: MGCF function Description: The MGCF is a controller that implements the interworking between the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) and the circuit switched (CS) domain. Huawei MGCF is an entity developed based on the host software part of the MSOFTX3000 with the added function to interwork with the IMS. The hardware (rack, subrack, and boards) and software (BAM and O&M system) of the MGCF are the same as those of the MSOFTX3000. The 3GPP core network comprises two parts: CS domain and packet switched (PS) domain. The IMS is the IP multimedia subsystem put forward by the 3GPP in R5 based on the PS domain. In the trend of mobile network evolving to an all-IP network, the IMS technology develops rapidly and has been commercialized. The MGCF meets the requirement of the network evolution and realizes the interworking between the IMS and the CS. The MGCF communicates with the call session control function (CSCF) in the IMS domain and controls the connection of the media channels in the IMS-MGW. The MGCF also realizes the interworking between the SIP signaling in the IMS domain and the BICC/ISUP signaling in the CS domain. The typical networking of the MGCF is as shown in the following .Figure 1-1.

Served network: GSM and UMTS Brief Introduction: During deployment of the mobile SoftSwitch market, some small operators are incapable of constructing and maintaining a large IP bearer network. Instead, they want to still use existing TDM networks after adopting the SoftSwitch technology. In this case, the IP over E1 technology is needed to meet the requirement of these operators. IP over E1 is a technology to provide transmission channels for IP packets by binding multiple timeslots/E1s. In addition, using the cRTP compression technology can further improve utilization of voice bandwidth. MSOFTX3000 supports IP over E1 bearer between gateways but does not provide interfaces for IP over E1. Instead, MSOFTX3000 still adopts the FE interface to connect the near-end switch or router. To adopt IP over E1 for the Mc/SIGTRAN interface, add the corresponding equipment that supports conversion between E1 and FE. When IP over E1 is adopted between offices, the signaling plane only supports the BICC protocol. Description: 1. MSOFTX3000 supports the Nb interface to adopt IP over E1 but does not provide the interface for IP over E1 itself. Instead, MSOFTX3000 still adopts the FE interface to connect the near-end switch or router. To adopt IP over E1 for the Mc/SIGTRAN interface, add the corresponding equipment that supports conversion between E1 and FE. Considering operation & maintenance cost, there is a competitive edge to select the transmission MSTIP equipment Metro1000 as the interface conversion equipment. The corresponding networking diagram is shown in the following figure.

Metro1000 connects the FE interface at one end and the E1 interface at the other end. Ethernet packets are carried over E1. In terms of MSS and UMG, it is the same as FE direct connection. As the important signaling interface, Mc/SIGTRAN needs to adopt the active/standby link mode to support link switchover in such exceptions as E1 transmission

interruption, near-end Metro1000 failure, LAN Switch failure, and far-end Metro1000 failure. 2. MSOFTX3000 only supports the BICC protocol on the Nc interface. It supports three bearer setup modes of the BICC, including forward quick setup, forward delay setup, and backward delay setup. BICC signaling is transited through the gateway. The private Codec is needed for the IAM message interface to transfer resources (IP address and port No.) on the bearer plane of the forward office. According to the transferred resources, the backward office allocates the corresponding resources on the bearer plane. 3. The QoS of voices carried on IP over E1 can be assured through the following methods: For inter-office calls, adopt the BICC CIC planned between offices and the IP QoS bearer quality detection function to implement flow control over inter-gateway bearer between offices. For inter-gateway calls (including intra-office and inter-office calls), adopt the VTID configured between intra-office gateways and the IP QoS bearer quality detection function to implement flow control over inter-gateway bearer within an office. Similar to TID of TDM bearer, VTID features the same maintenance mode as TID except that VTID is not delivered to the gateway or used to audit intermediate circuits with the gateway. Note: The number of BICC CICs and VTIDs depends on the bandwidth of common voice encoding and decoding (such as AMR) and total bandwidth carried between gateways. Service benefit: For operators 1. Make the best of existing TDM networks to provide the bearer network for mobile SoftSwitch, and thus protect the original investment. 2. IP over E1 can further improve utilization of voice bandwidth by adopting the cRTP compression technology. The following figure shows the procedure of cRTP compression.

CRTP Compression
20 bytes 8 bytes 12 bytes 4 bytes X bytes

With the cRTP compression technology, the original 40-byte header (including 20-byte IP header, 8-byte UDP header and 12-byte RTP header) can be compressed to a two-byte header. Take AMR 12.2k (including UP) encoding and decoding as an example, one timeslot of the original E1 can only carry one-channel conversation. After cRTP compression, one timeslot can carry four-channel conversations (VAD is disabled) or six-channel conversation (VAD is enabled). On the Nb interface, only adopting encoding and decoding compression can save transmission. G.711 encoding/decoding is not recommended. Considering voice quality, the control plane needs to support TrFO. In a 3G-to-3G scenario, the AMR encoding/decoding is required. In a 2G-to 2G scenario, you can only insert TC on the gateway since neither the Ater interface nor IP transformation of A-interface is supported. In a 3G-to-2G scenario, insert TC on the gateway of A-interface and adopt AMR coding/decoding for the Nb interface.

3. The gateway supports the Nb interface directly connecting the IP over E1 port. No additional router is needed on the bearer plane. 4. The QoS of voices through IP over E1 can be assured by configuring BICC CIC between offices and VTID within an office, and by enabling the IP QoS bearer quality detection function. For subscribers None Requirements for peripheral network entities: The gateway needs to provide the interface board IOE for IP over E1.

Function name: Anti-Cheat (to restrict forwarding and the number of ECTs) Implemented node: VMSC/VLR Serve network: GSM and UMTS Description: An example is used for describing the Anti-Cheat function. When A calls B, if B has subscribed to the service that the call is forwarded to C, connection between A and C is set up, but it is not required to set up the connection between A and B, or B and C. In this case, if B has activated the forwarding service, B can unrestrictedly set up several connections between An and Cn. Therefore, a large amount of fee is generated in a short time. If the fee cannot be paid, carriers consider it as a cheat. The case also occurs in the explicit call transfer (ECT) service. To avoid the cheat, the number of times a call is forwarded by a subscriber in the local office and the number of ECTs are restricted. Carriers can enable the Anti-Cheat function and control the number. Service benefit: For operators The security of the network can be improved. For subscribers The function can prevent malice subscribers from using the network illegally. Requirements for peripheral network entities None

Function name: VDB backup Implemented node: VMSC/VLR Serve network: GSM and UMTS Description: The VDB dynamic backup means that in the dual-homing networking, the VLR of the active MSC Server backs up the subscriber data from the VDB of the active MSC Server to the VDB of the standby MSC Server through the M3UA link. When the active MSC Server is faulty, the standby MSC Server takes over the services of the active MSC Server and directly use the backup subscriber data. This avoids the impact on the A/IU/C/D interface when the subscriber data restores automatically. The VDB dynamic data backup must be used together with the dual-homing function in the dual-homing networking. The VDB dynamic data backup supports 1+1 mutual assistant networking, 1+1 backup networking, n+1 backup networking and n+1 mutual assistant networking.

The VDB backup supports that the active MSC Server can obtain the backup subscriber data from the standby MSC Server during the dual-homing rollback. To obtain the backup subscriber data from the VDB of the standby MSC Server, the dual-homing rollback must be performed manually. For n+1 backup networking or n+1 mutual assistant networking, the standby MSC Server can back up the subscriber data from all active MSC Servers. When the dual-homing switchover occurs, the subscriber data of only one active MSC Server can be retained, and the subscriber data of other active MSC Servers is deleted. That is, the standby MSC Server can take over the subscriber data of only one active MSC Server. Service benefit: For operators The function can avoid the impact caused by the dual-homing switchover on the A/IU/C/D interfaces. Therefore, the dual-homing switchover is more reliable and effective, and the disaster tolerance is ensured. For subscribers None Requirements for peripheral network entities The VDB dual-homing backup function is based on the dual-homing feature, so the MGW is required to realize the function.
