6.2 Configuring the OPC and DPC

This section describes how to configure the OPC and DPC.

Prerequisite
l The basic data of the BSC6900 has been configured. For details, see Configuring the Basic
Data.

Context
l The MSC server is not directly connected to the BSC6900. Instead, routes are configured
on the MGW to transfer data between the BSC6900 and the MSC server.
l The network ID and the signaling point code must be planned in the SS7 network.
l When configuring a DPC, specify the signaling route mask for load sharing. When
configuring a signaling link set, specify the signaling link mask to determine the policy of

Issue 03 (2011-08-31) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 8

routing between signaling links within that signaling link set. The result of the signaling
route mask AND the signaling link mask should be 0.

Procedure
Step 1 Run the ADD OPC command to add an OPC, repeat this step until all desired OPCs are added.
Step 2 Run the ADD N7DPC command to add a DPC. To add more DPCs, repeat this step until all
desired DPCs are added.
l In the case of the Iu-CS interface (over ATM):
– Set Signalling route mask to B0000.
– When adding a DSP for the media gateway, set Adjacent flag to YES
(DIRECT_CONNECT), DSP type to IUCS-ALCAP, and STP function switch to ON
(ON). This indicates that an STP is added.
– When adding a DSP for the MSC server, set Adjacent flag to NO
(NO_DIRECT_CONNECT) and DSP type to IUCS-RANAP. This indicates that the
DSP has the Iu-CS radio network control plane function.
l In the case of the Iu-CS interface (over IP):
– Set Signalling route mask to B0000.
– When adding a DSP for the media gateway, set Adjacent flag to YES
(DIRECT_CONNECT), DSP type to STP, and STP function switch to ON(ON). This
indicates that an STP is added.
– When adding a DSP for the MSC server, set Adjacent flag to NO
(NO_DIRECT_CONNECT) and DSP type to IUCS-RANAP. This indicates that the

10.1.4 Configuration Rules of the Clock

This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to the
BSC6900 clock.

The configuration rules of the board clock are as follows:

l The interface boards in the EPS cannot provide 8 kHz clock output through the backplane.
l Each channel of 8 kHz backplane clock has only one clock source. The clock output switch
on multiple interface boards for the same channel of 8 kHz backplane clock cannot be
turned on at the same time.
l If both data and voice services are carried by the board, the clock source for the two types
of services must be the same in the core network. Otherwise, the data or voice service may
fail.
l Both the LINE1 clock and the LINE2 clock are extracted from Port for LINE.

The configuration rules of the system clock are as follows:

l Clock source priority ranges from 1 to 4. The clock source of priority 0 is configured by
default. Priority 0 is the lowest priority. The descending ranking of priorities is 1, 2, 3, and
4.
l Clock source type should be set according to the mode of obtaining the clock signals.
– If the clock signals are extracted from the CN by the interface board (for example,
PEUa/AEUa/AOUa/POUa/UOIa) in the EPS and then sent to the GCUa/GCGa board
through the line clock signal cable, Clock source type should be set to
BITS1-2MHZ or BITS2-2MHZ.
– If the clock signals are extracted from the CN by the interface board in the MPS and
then sent to the GCUa/GCGa board through the backplane of the MPS, Clock source
type should be set to LINE1_8KHZ or LINE2_8KHZ.
– If the clock signals are provided by the external BITS, Clock source type should be set
to BITS1-2MBPS, BITS2-2MBPS, BITS1-1.5MBPS, or BITS2-1.5MBPS.
– If the clock signals are provided by the GPS and then sent to the GCGa board, Clock
source type should be set to GPS.

system.

Synchronization is critical for identifying faults. For example, if an E1 link between the
BSC6900 and the base station is broken, time synchronization between the BSC6900 and the
base station ensures that the same fault is reported to the M2000 by the BSC6900 and by the
base station at the same time point.

The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is used to synchronize the time of the nodes of the
RAN system. SNTP serves the time synchronization between a server and multiple clients.
Therefore, an SNTP server must be configured in the RAN system. The SNTP server broadcasts
time synchronization information to the SNTP clients.

Either the BSC6900 or the M2000 functions as an SNTP server. You can configure an SNTP
server by taking the field condition into consideration.

SNTP works on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Therefore, when setting the time at different
nodes, you need to set the time zone where the node is located and decide whether to set Daylight
Saving Time (DST). If DST is set, you need to configure the start date/time and end date/time
of DST and the time offset.

Numbering of Links Carried on Optical Ports

The numbering of links carried on the optical ports of the interface board is different from that
of common SDH transmission equipment.

The methods used by companies or organizations for numbering transmission equipment are as
follows:

l Huawei: TUG3 + (TUG2 - 1) x 3 + (TU12 - 1) x 21

l Lucent: TU12 + (TUG2 - 1) x 3 + (TUG3 - 1) x 21
l ITU-T: TUG2 + (TU12 - 1) x 7 + (TUG3 - 1) x 21

Table 10-7 describes the relationship between the link numbers of the optical ports on the
interface board and the transmission equipment numbers.

Configuration Rules of E1/T1 Links and IMA Links

This section describes the rules for configuring E1/T1 links and IMA links for the BSC6900.

The rules for configuring E1/T1 links for the BSC6900 are as follows:

l The physical layer applications of E1/T1 links include IMA links, UNI links, fractional
ATM links, and fractional IMA links.
l For a single link or links carried on a single port, the link type cannot be changed from E1
to T1 or from T1 to E1. All the links must be set to the T1 or E1 type uniformly.
l An E1/T1 link can serve only one application, such as the IMA link or UNI link. It cannot
work as an IMA link and a UNI link at the same time.
l If an E1/T1 link serves multiple fractional ATM links or fractional IMA links, the fractional
ATM or IMA links must be carried on different timeslots.
l One type of upper-layer application can be carried on different types of physical layer links.
For example, one AAL2 path is carried on a UNI link and another AAL2 path on an IMA
link.
l The configurations of frame structure, line code, and scrambling switch must be identical
at both ends of an E1/T1 link.

The rules for configuring IMA links for the BSC6900 are as follows:

l All links in an IMA group must be of the same type, either E1 or T1.
l The settings of scrambling switches of all E1/T1 links in an IMA group must be identical.
l All IMA links in an IMA group must be of the same type, either common IMA link or
fractional IMA link.
l For a fractional IMA group, the number of timeslots that carry each fractional IMA link
must be identical. A fractional IMA group is an IMA group that contains only fractional
IMA links.
l The E1/T1 links whose link numbers are congruent modulo 32 cannot be in the same IMA
group.

Issue 03 (2011-08-31) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 93

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
BSC6900 UMTS
Initial Configuration Guide 10 Configuration Reference Information

l Links carried on different optical ports of the AOUa board cannot be in the same IMA
group.

Configuration Rules of ATM Ports

This section describes the rules of configuring upper-layer applications for ATM-based physical
ports. The ATM-based physical ports consist of E1/T1 ports and optical ports.

Port Compatibility
When an E1/T1 port carries a UNI or IMA link, the port cannot carry any fractional IMA links,
fractional ATM links, or timeslot cross connections. Fractional IMA links, fractional ATM links,
and timeslot cross connections can be carried on the same E1/T1 port on the condition that they
occupy different timeslots.

Timeslot Compatibility
At one time point, a timeslot can be occupied by only one upper-layer application. Take an AEUa
board for example. If a timeslot is occupied by a fractional ATM link, the timeslot cannot be
used by any fractional IMA link or timeslot cross connection.

Application Compatibility
If IMA links are configured in an IMA group, no fractional IMA link can be added to the group.
Similarly, if fractional IMA links are configured in an IMA group, no IMA link can be added
to the group. In a fractional IMA group, each fractional IMA link occupies the same number of
timeslots.
If an E1/T1 port carries a UNI link, it cannot carry any IMA link, fractional IMA link, fractional
ATM link, or timeslot cross connection.

10.2.2 ATM Transport Modes

This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to ATM
transport. ATM transport has four modes: UNI, fractional, timeslot cross connection, and IMA.

UNI Mode
The UNI mode is a transport mode at the Transmission Convergence (TC) sublayer of the
physical layer.
In UNI mode, an ATM cell is directly carried on an E1/T1 frame and the bits of the ATM cell
are sequentially mapped to the valid timeslots on the E1/T1 frame. Figure 10-1 shows the
mapping between the ATM cell and the E1 timeslots in UNI mode. The 53 bytes of the ATM
cell are sequentially carried on E1 timeslots. Each E1 frame provides 31 timeslots (with slot 0
unavailable) for carrying the ATM cell.

BSC6900 UMTS
Initial Configuration Guide 10 Configuration Reference Information

Figure 10-1 Mapping between the ATM cell and the E1 timeslots in UNI mode

Fractional Mode
Fractional mode is applicable to the Transmission Convergence (TC) sublayer of the physical
layer. This section describes the principles and functions of fractional mode, introduces two
implementation modes (that is, fractional IMA and fractional ATM), and provides the guidelines
for configuring fractional IMA links and fractional ATM links.

Principles of Fractional ATM and Fractional IMA

In the case of fractional ATM, multiple timeslots out of the 32 timeslots on an E1/T1 are used
to transmit an ATM cell. At the transmission end, an ATM cell is mapped to multiple timeslots
among the 31 timeslots on an E1/T1. At the reception end, the ATM cell is restored from the
associated timeslots on the E1/T1. Figure 10-2 shows the fractional ATM mode. An E1 frame
has timeslots numbered from 0 to 31. All the timeslots except timeslot 0 are available for service
data transmission. A T1 frame has timeslots numbered from 1 to 24. All the timeslots are
available for service data transmission. The timeslots to which the ATM cell is not mapped can
transmit other data.

Figure 10-2 Fractional ATM mode

Issue 03 (2011-08-31) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 95

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
BSC6900 UMTS
Initial Configuration Guide 10 Configuration Reference Information

If multiple E1/T1 trunks exist between the transmission end and the reception end and work in
IMA mode, such an IMA mode is called fractional IMA. In fractional IMA mode, an IMA group
contains multiple fractional ATM links.

Function of Fractional ATM

After the fractional ATM function is enabled, the ATM cells of a 3G network can be transmitted
over an existing 2G network, as shown in Figure 10-3.

Figure 10-3 Fractional ATM function

Two Modes of the Fractional Function

There are two implementation modes of the fractional function on the Iub interface:
l Fractional ATM
In fractional ATM mode, multiple idle timeslots can be used for transmission.
The fractional ATM mode is implemented only in the AEUa/AOUc board.
l Fractional IMA
In fractional IMA mode, multiple fractional IMA links are logically gathered into a group
with each fractional IMA link occupying the same number of idle timeslots.
The fractional IMA mode is applicable only to the AEUa/AOUc board.

Timeslot Cross Connection Mode

The timeslot cross connection function implements cross connections between timeslots on two
E1/T1s at the physical medium (PM) sublayer of the physical layer. This section describes the
principles and functions of timeslot cross connection.

Issue 03 (2011-08-31) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 96

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
BSC6900 UMTS
Initial Configuration Guide 10 Configuration Reference Information

Principles of Timeslot Cross Connection

Figure 10-4 shows an example of timeslot cross connection. The timeslot cross connection
device cross-connects the timeslots on one E1/T1 to the timeslots on the other E1/T1. In the
example shown in the following figure, the device cross-connects slots 2 and 3 on one E1/T1 to
slots 4 and 8 on another E1/T1 respectively.

Figure 10-4 Example of timeslot cross connection

Function of Timeslot Cross Connection

The AEUa board supports timeslot cross connection. Through the configured timeslot cross
connection, the E1 data in TS A of the source port is transmitted to TS B of the target port. Thus,
the timeslot cross connection helps provide a transparent data transmission channel for the 2G
equipment or NodeB monitoring equipment.
Figure 10-5 shows implementation of timeslot cross connection.

Initial Configuration Guide 10 Configuration Reference Information

NOTE

l Neither the source timeslot nor the target timeslot of a timeslot cross connection can be used by other
applications, such as fractional ATM, IMA, and UNI.
l If an E1 link is configured with a timeslot cross connection, the E1 link cannot carry any IMA or UNI
link. The other timeslots on this E1 link can carry fractional ATM or fractional IMA links.

IMA Mode
IMA mode is applicable to the Transmission Convergence (TC) sublayer of the physical layer.
The IMA function is implemented by the IMA group, which is composed of either IMA links
or fractional IMA links. This section describes the principles, clock modes, and characteristics
of IMA mode.

Principles of IMA Mode

Figure 10-6 shows the principles of the IMA mode based on the assumption that each IMA
group contains three E1/T1 links.
l At the transmission end, the IMA group receives the ATM cell stream from the ATM layer
and distributes the cells among the E1/T1 links.
l At the reception end, the IMA group reassembles the cells to restore the original ATM cell
stream, and then transfers the cell stream to the ATM layer.
The physical layer provides high-speed transport channels for ATM cells from the perspective
of the ATM layer.

Figure 10-6 Principles of the IMA mode

In IMA mode, ATM cells, IMA Control Protocol (ICP) cells, and filler cells form an IMA frame
to implement necessary controlling functions.
The length of an IMA frame, m, is defined during the setup of an IMA group. Figure 10-7 shows
an IMA frame. The mapping between the ATM cell and the physical link (that is, the E1/T1
link) is similar to that in UNI mode.

Initial Configuration Guide 10 Configuration Reference Information

Figure 10-7 IMA frame

Clock Modes
The clock mode of an IMA group is defined from the perspective of an IMA group rather than
a single link. The IMA group has two clock modes:
l Common Transmit Clock (CTC): In CTC clock mode, all links in an IMA group share one
clock source. The clock source may be extracted from the same external clock or from a
link.
l Independent Transmit Clock (ITC): In ITC mode, the clocks used by the links within an
IMA group are derived from at least two clock sources. The loopback clock mode is a
special case of the ITC mode.

Characteristics
The IMA mode has the following characteristics:

l The clock modes at the two ends of the IMA group must be identical.
l All E1/T1s within an IMA group are simultaneously scrambled or none of them is
scrambled. In other words, the states of the scrambling switches at both ends of E1/T1s
must be identical.
l All IMA links within an IMA group must be of the same type, either common IMA link or
fractional IMA link.
l If an IMA group is made up of fractional IMA links, the quantity of timeslots carrying each
fractional IMA link must be identical.

10.2.3 PVC Parameters of the ATM Layer

When the PVC parameters are set at the ATM layer for Huawei BSC6900, the associated
parameters of the ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) are also configured.

VPI and VCI

The main characteristics of the ATM technology are multiplexing, switching, and transmitting
of ATM cells. All these operations are performed over Virtual Channels (VCs). A VC and a

Virtual Path (VP) are identified by Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) and Virtual Path Identifier
(VPI) respectively.
Figure 10-8 shows the relationship between VC and VP.
l A VC is identified by a VCI. It is a logical connection between ATM nodes and is the
channel for transmitting ATM cells between two or more nodes. The VC is used for the
data transmission between mobile terminals, between networks, or between mobile
terminal and network.
l A VP is a group of VCs at a given reference point. The VCs in the group have the same
VPI.

Figure 10-8 Relationship between VC and VP

Service Type
The ATM services are of four types: Constant Bit Rate (CBR), Real-Time Variable Bit Rate
(RT-VBR), Non-Real-Time Variable Bit Rate (NRT-VBR), and Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR).
Table 10-8 describes the types of service.

l The ATM traffic parameters of an interface, such as PCR and SCR, should be configured depending
on the traffic model in use.
l When configuring ATM traffic resources for links, you need to consider the traffic on the interface
boards of the BSC6900.

10.2.5 AAL2 Configuration Principles

This section describes the working principles of the AAL2 path and AAL2 route.

AAL2 Path
The Q.AAL2 module is responsible for dynamically setting up and releasing AAL2 connections
between the BSC6900 and the peer end. The peer end can be a NodeB, a CS CN node, or a
neighboring BSC6900. An AAL2 path is terminated at the ATM interface boards AEUa, AOUa/
AOUc, and UOIa/UOIc of the BSC6900.

Figure 10-9 shows the relationship between an AAL2 path and AAL2 connections on the Iub
interface.

Figure 10-9 Relationship between an AAL2 path and AAL2 connections

AAL2 Route
An AAL2 path may not reach the destination node but reach an adjacent node. In this case, AAL2
routes can be configured to reach the destination node.

Figure 10-10 shows an example of the AAL2 route.

one route. B0001 or B1000 indicates that there are at most two routes.
The number (represented by n) of 1s in a signaling link mask determines the maximum number
of links (2n) that participate in load sharing. For example, B0000 indicates that there is at most
one link. B0001 or B1000 indicates that there are at most two links.
The result of the logical AND operation on the signaling link mask and the signaling route mask
must be 0, as shown in Figure 10-11.

10.2.7 TRM Configuration Principles

The Transmission Resource Management (TRM) of the BSC6900 manages the transmission
resources of the interfaces, improving the transmission resource utilization and guaranteeing the
Quality of Service (QoS). The BSC6900 determines which type of bearer should be used for
current services, depending on certain conditions. These conditions are the service type, the
preset mapping between service types and transmission resources, and the utilization of the
transmission resources.

Background Information
Different types of service have different QoS requirements. For example, voice services require
high QoS but PS background services do not. Therefore, mapping services with different QoS
requirements onto different transmission resources helps achieve high resource utilization.

Configuration Principles
Before transport bearers are set up for radio links on the interfaces, the BSC6900 applies for
transmission resources, makes admission decisions based on transmission resources, and
allocates transmission resources.

Issue 03 (2011-08-31) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 105

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
BSC6900 UMTS
Initial Configuration Guide 10 Configuration Reference Information

Transmission resource admission implements admission decision. If the admission is successful,

the BSC6900 allocates transmission resources according to the TRM mapping tables. In the case
of ATM transport, the BSC6900 applies for Connection IDs (CIDs) and AAL2 path bandwidth
resources. For IP transport, the BSC6900 applies for UDP ports and IP path bandwidth resources.

TRM Configuration Description

You can run the related MML command to configure the mapping between service types and
transmission resources over a specific interface.

CAUTION
The primary and secondary paths for a type of service must be different.

10.2.8 Activity Factor Configuration Principles

The configuration of activity factors can increase the resource utilization.

Background Information
Transmission resources may not be fully utilized because services are not always active. For the
purpose of resource multiplexing, transmission resources should be reserved according to service
bandwidth x activity factor when a service is initiated. The value of an activity factor affects the
number of services admitted.

Activity Factor Configuration Policies for Different Service Types

The following policies should be used to reserve transmission resources irrespective of the type
of interface:
l Signaling radio bearer: configured SRB bandwidth x activity factor.
l Conversational and streaming services: MBR x activity factor. On the Iu-PS interface, these
services are admitted according to GBR x activity factor.
l Inactive and background services: GBR x activity factor.
The configured SRB bandwidth depends on the type of channel that carries the SRB. MBR
indicates the maximum bit rate. GBR indicates the minimum bit rate.

10.3 Data Configuration Principles for Interfaces

This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to the
BSC6900 interfaces.

10.3.1 Data Configuration Principles for the Iub Interface (over

ATM)
Related information is required for performing data configurations on the ATM-based Iub
interface. This information refers to the protocol stack, links on the Iub interface, and OM
channel configuration principles.

Protocol Structure for the Iub Interface (over ATM)

When ATM transport is applied to the Iub interface, the sequence of configuring Iub interface
data should be consistent with the protocol structure, that is, from the bottom layer to the top
layer and from the control plane to the user plane.
Figure 10-12 shows the protocol stack for the ATM-based Iub interface.

Figure 10-12 Protocol stack for the ATM-based Iub interface

The transport network layer of the Iub interface consists of the transport network layer user plane
(area A), transport network layer control plane (area B), and transport network layer user plane
(area C).
l Areas A, B, and C share the physical layer and ATM layer. Therefore, all links in the three
areas can be carried on common physical links.
l Links in areas A and B are carried on SAAL links. Based on the type of carried information,
the upper layer of area A is classified into the NodeB Control Port (NCP) and the
Communication Control Port (CCP). Only Q.AAL2 links are carried in area B.
l In area C, the user plane data is carried on AAL2 paths. The bearer at the lower layer is the
ATM PVC. Under the control of Q.AAL2, AAL2 connections can be dynamically set up
or released for upper-layer services. Therefore, each AAL2 path must have its
corresponding controlling Q.AAL2.

Links on the Iub Interface

There are three types of links on the ATM-based Iub interface: SAAL link of User-Network
Interface (UNI) type, AAL2 path, and IPoA PVC. The SAAL link of UNI type is used to carry
NCP, CCP, and ALCAP, as shown in Figure 10-13.

Figure 10-13 Links on the Iub interface (over ATM)

NOTE

l The links in the NodeB are not shown in Figure 10-13 because the data configuration does not involve
the internal information of the NodeB.
l The RINT shown in Figure 10-13 refers to the ATM interface boards of the BSC6900. For the
recommended ATM interface boards of the Iub interface, see Interface Boards Applicable to Terrestrial
Interfaces.

SAAL Link of UNI Type

An SAAL link of UNI type carries signaling messages on the Iub interface. The signaling
messages carried on the SAAL links are classified into NCP, CCP, and ALCAP, as described
in Table 10-13.

Table 10-13 Data carried on SAAL links of UNI type

Data Type Description

NCP The NCP carries common process messages of NBAP over the Iub interface.
An Iub interface has only one NCP.

Issue 03 (2011-08-31) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 108

Initial Configuration Guide 10 Configuration Reference Information

Data Type Description

CCP A CCP carries dedicated process messages of NBAP over the Iub interface. An
Iub interface may have multiple CCPs. The number of CCPs depends on
network planning.

ALCAP ALCAP is also called Q.AAL2. Typically, an Iub interface has one ALCAP.

An SAAL link of UNI type is carried on a PVC. The PVC identifier (VPI/VCI) and other
attributes of the PVC must be negotiated between the BSC6900 and the NodeB.

AAL2 Path
An AAL2 path is a group of connections between the BSC6900 and the NodeB. An Iub interface
has at least one AAL2 path. It is recommended that more than one AAL2 path be planned.
An AAL2 path is carried on a PVC. The PVC identifier (VPI/VCI) and other attributes of the
PVC must be negotiated between the BSC6900 and the NodeB.

IPoA PVC
IPoA is a technology in which IP packets are transmitted over the ATM transport network.
Essentially, the ATM links over each interface are carried over PVCs. The IPoA PVCs over the
Iub interface are used to transmit the OM information of a NodeB. In this case, the IPoA PVC
is called the management plane IPoA PVC.

OM IPoA Data Configuration on the Iub Interface (over ATM)

On the ATM-based Iub interface, the IPoA PVC functions as the Operation and Maintenance
(OM) channel.

IPoA PVC
Figure 10-14 shows the IPoA PVCs from the BSC6900 to NodeBs.

Network Segments
Each IPoA PVC travels through the following network segments before reaching the NodeB:
l The 80.168.3.0 segment (with network mask of 255.0.0.0) between the OMUa board and
the ATM interface board. This network segment is set before delivery of the BSC6900.
l 12.13.1.0 segment (with network mask of 255.255.255.0) between the ATM interface board
and the NodeBs. When setting this network segment, you need to take field conditions into
consideration.

Related information is required for performing data configuration on the IP-based Iub interface.
This information refers to the protocol stack, links on the Iub interface, IP address and route
configuration, and OM channel configuration principles.

Protocol Structure for the Iub Interface (over IP)

When IP transport is applied to the Iub interface, the sequence of adding Iub interface data should
be consistent with the protocol structure, that is, from the bottom layer to the top layer and from
the control plane to the user plane.
Figure 10-15 shows the protocol stack for the IP-based Iub interface.

Links on the Iub Interface

There are two types of links on the IP-based Iub interface: SCTP link and IP path. The SCTP
link is used to carry NCP and CCP, as shown in Figure 10-16.

SCTP Links
An SCTP link carries signaling messages on the Iub interface. The signaling messages carried
on the SCTP links are classified into NCP and CCP, as described in Table 10-14.

Table 10-14 Data carried on SCTP links

Data Type Description

NCP The NCP carries common process messages of NBAP over the Iub interface.
An Iub interface has only one NCP.

CCP A CCP carries dedicated process messages of NBAP over the Iub interface. An
Iub interface may have multiple CCPs. The number of CCPs depends on
network planning.

The SCTP link can work in two modes, SERVER and CLIENT, on the BSC6900 and NodeB
sides. On the BSC6900 side, the differences between the two working modes are as follows:
l SERVER: The local end enables only the listening port and the peer end sends the
initialization request.

Issue 03 (2011-08-31) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 112

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
BSC6900 UMTS
Initial Configuration Guide 10 Configuration Reference Information

In SERVER mode, all SCTP links use the listening port as a local port. The listening port
also becomes the local port of NCP or CCP on the control plane. On the NodeB side, a port
number is added to each new NCP and CCP.
l CLIENT: The local end sends the initialization request during the setup of a link.
In CLIENT mode, each SCTP link must be configured with a local port, which means that
a local port number is added to each NCP and CCP. On the NodeB side, only one port
number needs to be configured.

It is recommended that the working mode of the BSC6900 be set to SERVER when you
configure an SCTP link.

IP Path
An IP path is a group of connections between the BSC6900 and the NodeB. An Iub interface
has at least one IP path. It is recommended that two or more IP paths be planned.

IP Addresses and Routes on the Iub Interface (over IP)

On the IP-based or ATM/IP dual stack-based Iub interface, IP addresses and routes are required.

Networking on the Iub Interface

There are two types of networking on the Iub interface: layer 2 networking and layer 3
networking. Compared with layer 3 networking, layer 2 networking is simple because the port
IP addresses of the BSC6900 and NodeB are located on the same network segment and no route
is required.

Figure 10-17 shows an example of layer 2 networking on the Iub interface.

address of the network segment where the NodeB or NodeB IP address is
located, and Next Hop Address is the gateway IP address, for example, IP5
or IP6, on the BSC6900 side.

OM Channel Configuration on the Iub Interface (over IP)

There are two types of routing for the OM channel on the Iub interface. One is the routing between
the M2000 and the NodeB through the BSC6900 and the other is the routing between the M2000
and the NodeB not through the BSC6900.

10.3.3 Data Configuration Principles for the Iub Interface (over

ATM and IP)
Related information is required for performing data configuration on the ATM/IP dual stack-
based Iub interface. This information refers to the ATM/IP hybrid transport, hardware
configuration principles, and data configuration principles.

ATM/IP Hybrid Transport on the Iub Interface

With the development of data services, especially with the introduction of HSDPA and HSUPA,
there is an increasing demand for bandwidth on the Iub interface. The transmission based on
ATM over E1, however, increases high costs. Data services produce a decreasing efficiency for
operators. Therefore, the operators require a low-cost Iub transmission solution, which leads to
the introduction of the ATM/IP hybrid transport. It reduces the data transmission costs on the
Iub interface, while maintaining the proper running of services.

Issue 03 (2011-08-31) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 118

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
BSC6900 UMTS
Initial Configuration Guide 10 Configuration Reference Information

Based on the Quality of Service (QoS) and bandwidth requirements, ATM/IP hybrid transport
implements data transmission as follows:
l Voice services, streaming services, and signaling have a low requirement for bandwidth
and a high requirement for QoS. These services are transmitted on ATM networks.
l BE services and HSDPA/HSUPA services have a relatively high requirement for the
bandwidth and low requirement for the QoS. These services are transmitted on IP networks.

NOTE

l BE service refers to best effort service.

l HSDPA/HSUPA service refers to high speed downlink/uplink packet access services.

ATM/IP hybrid transport protects the investment of the existing ATM networks, reduces the
impact of IP transport on the ATM networks, and meets the requirements of operators for cost-
effective data transmission and flexible networking.

Hardware Configuration Principles for ATM/IP Hybrid Transport on the Iub

Interface
This section describes the hardware configuration principles for ATM/IP hybrid transport on
the Iub interface in terms of board configuration, cable connections, and hardware-related
precautions.

Hardware Configuration Principles for ATM/IP Hybrid Transport

To implement ATM/IP hybrid transport, insert ATM and IP interface boards into the slots of
the MPS and EPS. In this way, an ATM/IP dual stack-based NodeB can be connected to an ATM
interface board and an IP interface board at the same time. The two interface boards can be
located in different subracks.

NOTE

Though the BSC6900 ATM and IP interface boards for one NodeB can be located in different subracks, it
is recommended that the interface boards be located in the same subrack if possible.

Interface Board Configuration for ATM/IP Hybrid Transport

All ATM and IP interface boards are available for ATM/IP hybrid transport.
For the recommended interface boards, see Interface Boards Applicable to Terrestrial Interfaces.
Figure 10-21 and Figure 10-22 show the typical configurations of interface boards for ATM/
IP hybrid transport. As shown in the figures, the AOUa functions as the ATM interface board
and the GOUa functions as the IP interface board.

Cable Connections
When ATM/IP hybrid transport is applied, the ATM interface at the BSC6900 connects to the
NodeB through an ATM network, and the IP interface at the BSC6900 connects to the NodeB
through an IP network.

Data Configuration Principles for ATM/IP Hybrid Transport on the Iub Interface
This section describes the data configuration principles for ATM/IP dual stack-based transport
on the Iub interface in terms of VLAN planning, transmission resource allocation, and traffic
distribution.

VLAN Planning
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) helps shield the BSC6900 from network storms and
improve the security of layer 2 networking. The priorities in VLAN tags are used for service

Issue 03 (2011-08-31) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 120

BSC6900 UMTS
Initial Configuration Guide 10 Configuration Reference Information

differentiation. The specifications for VLANs in ATM/IP hybrid transport are the same as those
in IP transport on the Iub interface.

There are two types of VLAN settings: VLAN setting in layer 2 networking and VLAN setting
in layer 3 networking.

l VLAN setting in layer 2 networking

The value of VLAN ID ranges from 2 to 4094. Due to the limited VLAN ID resources, it
is recommended that an identical VLAN ID be allocated to the NodeBs whose traffic is
converged to the same layer 2 transmission device, for example, a LAN switch. If the layer
2 transmission device supports the setting of VLAN priorities, the priorities of services
need to be mapped onto those of VLANs. If the layer 2 transmission device identifies the
priorities based on the VLAN IDs, the priorities of services need to be mapped onto VLAN
IDs based on the service types, so as to implement differentiated services.
l VLAN setting in layer 3 networking

VLANs apply to layer 2 networking only. It does not apply to layer 3 transmission devices.
Therefore, interface boards at the BSC6900 do not need to be configured with VLAN tags.
If the BSC6900 connects to a layer 3 transmission device through a layer 2 network that
supports configuration of VLAN priorities, the interface board at the BSC6900 can map
the priorities of services either onto the priorities of VLANs or onto the VLAN IDs based
on the service types. In layer 3 networking, the VLANs configured at the BSC6900 apply
to the BSC6900 and the layer 3 transmission device only. Therefore, VLAN IDs and
priorities are generally based on the service type, rather than based on the NodeB.

Transmission Resource Allocation

When you allocate resources for ATM/IP dual stack-based transport on the Iub interface, take
the following suggestions into consideration:

ATM transport, IP transport, or ATM/IP hybrid transport is applicable to control plane data. It
is recommended that ATM/IP hybrid transport be applied to control plane data for security
purposes. In other words, the SAAL and SCTP links together carry an NCP or a CCP, and the
active link is the SAAL link.

ATM transport, IP transport, or ATM/IP hybrid transport is applicable to user plane data. It is
recommended that:

l ATM transport be applied to signaling, voice services, CS conversational services, CS

streaming services, PS conversational services, and PS streaming services.
l IP transport be applied to PS interactive services, PS background services, HSDPA
conversational services, HSDPA streaming services, HSDPA interactive services, HSDPA
background services, HSUPA conversational services, HSUPA streaming services,
HSUPA interactive services, and HSUPA background services.

Either ATM or IP transport is applicable to management plane data. It is recommended that IP

transport be applied.

Traffic Distribution
For the ATM traffic distribution principles and the relationship between interface links and
service types, see ATM Traffic Resource Configuration Principles.

10.3.4 Data Configuration Principles for the Iu-CS Interface (over

ATM)
Related information is required for performing data configuration on the ATM-based Iu-CS
interface. This information refers to the protocol stack, links on the Iu-CS interface, and the
differences between R99 and R4/R5/R6/R7/R8.

Protocol Structure for the Iu-CS Interface (over ATM)

If ATM transport is applied to the Iu-CS interface, the sequence of configuring Iu-CS interface
data should be consistent with the protocol structure, that is, from the bottom layer to the top
layer and from the control plane to the user plane.

Figure 10-23 shows the protocol stack for the Iu-CS interface.

Figure 10-23 Protocol stack for the ATM-based Iu-CS interface

The transport network layer of the Iu-CS interface consists of the following areas:

l Transport network layer user plane (area A)

l Transport network layer control plane (area B)
l Transport network layer user plane (area C)

Areas A, B, and C share the physical layer and ATM layer. Therefore, all links in the three areas
can be carried on common physical links.

NOTE

The RINT shown in Figure 10-24 refers to ATM interface boards of the BSC6900. For the interface boards
recommended for the ATM-based Iu-CS interface, see Interface Boards Applicable to Terrestrial Interfaces.

MTP3 Link
MTP3 links are contained in an MTP3 link set. The number of the MTP3 link ranges from 0 to
15.

The configuration of MTP3 links between the BSC6900 and the MSC server depends on the
network structure between the MSC server and the BSC6900:

l If the MSC server is directly connected to the BSC6900, at least one MTP3 link is required
for the MSC server (IUCS_RANAP signaling point). It is recommended that more than
one MTP3 link be configured.
l If the MSC server is connected to the BSC6900 through the MGW, the MSC server
(IUCS_RANAP signaling point) does not require any MTP3 link.

Links on the Iu-BC Interface (over ATM)

The Iu-BC interface has only one type of link: IPoA PVC.

Links on the Iu-BC Interface

Figure 10-50 shows the links on the Iu-BC interface.

Figure 10-50 Links on the Iu-BC interface

NOTE

The RINT shown in Figure 10-50 refers to the ATM interface boards of the BSC6900. For the ATM
interface boards recommended for the Iu-BC interface, see Interface Boards Applicable to Terrestrial
Interfaces.

IPoA PVC
An IPoA PVC must be configured on the Iu-BC interface for connecting the BSC6900 to the
SGSN gateway because the CBC usually connects to the BSC6900 through an SGSN. In this
situation, the data on the Iu-BC interface is transmitted to the SGSN through the IPoA PVC and
then is routed to the CBC by the SGSN.

IPoA Data Configuration on the Iu-BC Interface (over ATM)

The IPoA PVC configured on the Iu-BC interface enables the BSC6900 to indirectly connect to
the CBC.

IPoA PVC on the Iu-BC Interface

On the Iu-BC interface, the BSC6900 connects to the CBC through an SGSN, as shown in
Figure 10-51.

10.3.11 Data Configuration Principles for the Iu-BC Interface (over

IP)
Related information is required for performing data configuration on the IP-based Iu-BC
interface. This information refers to the protocol structure and network structure on the Iu-BC
interface.

BSC6900 UMTS
Initial Configuration Guide 10 Configuration Reference Information

Protocol Structure for the Iu-BC Interface (over IP)

If IP transport is applied to the Iu-BC interface, the sequence of configuring Iu-BC interface
data should be consistent with the protocol structure, that is, from the bottom layer to the top
layer.

Figure 10-52 shows the protocol stack for the Iu-BC interface.

Figure 10-52 Protocol stack for the Iu-BC interface

Network Structure on the Iu-BC Interface (over IP)

This section describes the network structure between the BSC6900 and the CBC when IP
transport is applied to the Iu-BC interface.

Scenario
The BSC6900 communicates with the CBC through a data network.

Description
In this situation, the Iu-BC interface board of the BSC6900 can be FG2a/FG2c, GOUa/GOUc,
or UOIa (UOIa_IP). The BSC6900 supports backup of these boards and also FE/GE port backup
of FG2a/FG2c.

Figure 10-53 shows the network structure based on a data transport network. IP transport is
applied on the FE/GE ports.

Figure 10-53 IP network structure based on a data transport network

When IP transport is applied to the Iu interface, the BSC6900 and the CBC can directly access
the IP bearer network, which enables connections over the Iu-BC interface. An Iu-BC interface
can share an FE/GE port at the BSC6900 with an Iu interface, because of the low traffic on the
Iu-BC interface.

10.4 Data Configuration Principles for Cells

This section describes the configuration rules and reference information related to a cell.

10.4.1 Definitions of Sector, Carrier, and Cell

A sector is the smallest radio coverage area unit, which is covered by one or more radio carriers.
Each radio carrier occupies a frequency. A sector and a carrier form a cell that is the smallest
serving unit for UE access.
There are two types of sectors: omnidirectional sector and directional sector. The
omnidirectional sector provides coverage for small traffic. It covers the 360º circle area with the
omnidirectional antenna in the center of the circle. As the traffic grows, the omnidirectional
sector is split into three or six directional sectors. The directional sectors are covered by
directional antennas. For a 3-sector NodeB, each of the three directional antennas covers a 120º
sector area. For a 6-sector NodeB, each of the six directional antennas covers a 60º sector area.
In fact, the azimuth of the antenna is greater than the theoretical value, and therefore there is
overlap between the sectors.
The number of cells supported by a NodeB is equal to the number of sectors multiplied by the
number of carriers in each sector. Figure 10-54 shows the typical 3 x 2 configuration. The whole
circle area is split into three sectors: sector 0, sector 1, and sector 2. Each sector has two carriers,
and each carrier forms a cell. Therefore, there are six cells in total.
Frequency reuse is allowed in a WCDMA system if different downlink primary scrambling
codes are used in neighboring cells of different sectors that use the same frequency. The different
downlink primary scrambling codes lower the interference between cells.
Figure 10-54 shows the relations between sector, frequency, and cell.

10.4.2 Definitions of Local Cell and Logical Cell

In the 3GPP, a service-providing cell is referred to as a local cell when referring to
implementations, and as a logical cell when referring to logical resource management.

Local Cell
A local cell is a combination of physical resources, such as hardware resources and software
resources, in a cell of a NodeB. A local cell is related to the physical implementation of a device.

NodeBs from different vendors have different ways of providing physical resources for cells.
Therefore, the concept of logical cell is proposed by the 3GPP to ensure that the BSC6900 can
control the radio resources in certain cells through the standard Iub interface. These cells are
carried on NodeBs from different vendors.

Logical Cell
A logical cell is a standard logical model that helps the BSC6900 control the radio resources in
a cell. The model is independent of local cell implementation and ensures that the Iub interface
is an open interface. For details about the logical cell model, see Logical Cell Model.

The parameters of a local cell are configured at and managed by the NodeB. The parameters of
a logical cell are configured at and managed by the BSC6900. There is a one-to-one mapping
between a logical cell and a local cell.

Figure 10-55 shows the logical cell configuration model. The number above the square is the
quantity of the entities that serve as lower-level nodes. The number below the square is the
quantity of the entities that serve as upper-level nodes.

and a UTRAN Registration Area (URA).

l A cell belongs to only one LA.

l A cell belongs to only one RA.
l A cell belongs to only one CS/PS SA.
l A cell belongs to only one CBS SA.
l A cell belongs to one to eight URAs.

10.4.5 Definition of Neighboring Cell

A neighboring cell is associated with a specific cell. There are three types of neighboring cell
for UMTS cells: intra-frequency neighboring cell, inter-frequency neighboring cell, and
neighboring GSM cell.

l An intra-frequency neighboring cell is a cell that has overlapping coverage with the serving
cell and uses the same carrier frequency as the serving cell.
l An inter-frequency neighboring cell is a cell that has overlapping coverage with the serving
cell but uses a different carrier frequency from the serving cell.
l A neighboring GSM cell is a cell that is adjacent to the serving cell but belongs to a GSM,
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), or Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution
(EDGE) system.
