 The RAN physical layer consists of BTS nodes, BSC nodes, and the transport
network that connects BTS and BSC nodes.



 The RAN logical layer is classified into the GBSS, UTRAN, and E-UTRAN according to protocols used by
each network. The RAN logical layer consists of logical functions implemented on base stations and base
station controllers. Logical functions of base stations include GBTS Service, NodeB Service, and eNodeB
Service. Logical functions of base station controllers include GBSC Service and RNC Service. GBSS is short
for GSM base station system, UTRAN is short for universal terrestrial radio access network, and E-UTRAN
is short for evolved universal terrestrial radio access network.





 The LTE FDD single-mode, LTE TDD single-mode, and LTE FDD and LTE TDD (LT) dual-
mode are supported.



 The BSC6910 uses the double-door N68E-22 and N68-21-N cabinets that have the
same appearance.
 Currently supports a single-cabinet configuration.

 The Main Processing Rack (MPR) is a mandatory cabinet of the BSC6910. Only
one MPR is configured in the BSC6910.
 EPR
 You can choose not to configure an Extended Processing Rack (EPR) or
configure one EPR depending on the traffic to be processed by the BSC6910.

Rear cable trough Three rear cable troughs are configured.

 The power supply system of the BSC6910 is based on the dual-circuit redundancy design.
 The power supply system of the BSC6910 consists of the -48 V DC power system, DC
power distribution frame (PDF), and power entry module (PEM) of each subrack.
 The current capacity of circuit breakers on the PDF must be higher than 80 A. In most
cases, circuit breakers on the PDF have a specification of 63 A or 100 A. Therefore, 100 A
circuit breakers are recommended for the PDF.
 If a site has heavy traffic or more than two switching systems, two or more independent
power supply systems are required. At a large-scale communication center, multiple
independent power supply systems must be configured on different floors to supply power
to different equipment rooms.
 The BSC6910 power supply principles are as follows:
 The PDF provides each subrack with two independent -48 V DC inputs and
provides each cabinet with one PGND connection.
 PEM A and PEM B work in active/standby mode and they usually work concurrently.
If either of them becomes faulty, the other PEM continues to supply power to the
system to ensure stable operation. Therefore, you can rectify one faulty power
input when the power is normally supplied, improving the reliability and availability
of the power supply system.
The two power outputs of PEM A work in load sharing mode. The subrack that
houses PEM A can work properly only when the two power outputs of PEM A are
normal. The

 The MPR consists of main processing subracks (MPS) and extended processing subracks
(EPS).
 MPR
 Only one MPR is configured in the BSC6910.
 The MPS is located in the MPR. The BSC6910 is configured with an MPS, which
performs service processing and OM functions, and provides system clock signals
 EPR
 The number of EPRs to be configured depends on the traffic volume, but only one
EPR can be configured in the BSC6100. You can also choose not to configure the EPR.
 EPS is optional for a BSC. Whether to configure an EPS depends on the network
dimensioning. It can be configured in an MPR or EPR to perform main service
processing.
 TCR
 The number of TCRs to be configured depends on the traffic volume and the
configuration modes of subracks. Up to two TCRs can be configured in the BSC6900.
You can also choose not to configure a TCR.



 Notes : There are two ports on the PAMU(Parka) board: EMU and ELU. The EMU port
connects to the environment monitoring unit (EMU), and the ELU port connects to the
electronic label unit (ELU).
 Technical specifications of the subrack

 When the BSC6910 is powered on or is upgraded, the fans in the subrack will not run at
full speed. The fan speed is adjusted based on ambient temperature.
 When a fan is faulty, the fans in the same fan assembly and in the other fan assembly in
the subrack will run at an accelerated speed.
 Indicator on the fan assembly

 Each subrack provides a total of 28 slots. The 14 slots on the front side of the
backplane are numbered from 00 to 13, and those on the rear side from 14 to 27.
 Two adjacent slots, such as slots 00 and 01 or slots 02 and 03, can be configured as a
pair of active and standby slots. A pair of active and standby boards must be installed
in a pair of active and standby slots.
 The pair of active and standby boards installed in the active and standby slots must be
of the same type. For example, if slots 14 is configured with GCUa board, slots 15
must be configured with GCUa board.
 Different types of boards can be installed in non-active and standby slots. For example,
if the GCUa board is installed in slot 15, the EXOUa board can be installed in slot 16.

 If only one SCUb board is functioning in the subrack, the switching bandwidth of each
slot reduces by half.


 The boards that can be installed in the MPS are the EOMUa, ESAUa, SCUb,
GCUa/GCUb/GCGa/GCGb, EGPUa, EXOUa, FG2c, and GOUc/GOUe.

 A Y-shaped clock cable is a type of clock signal cable. It is optional. The number of Y-
shaped clock cables to be installed depends on site requirements. This cable transmits the
8 kHz clock signals from the GCUa/GCGa/GCUb/GCGb board in the MPS to the SCUa/SCUb
board in the EPS.
 The active and standby clock boards in the MPS are connected to the active and standby
SCU boards in the EPS through the Y-shaped clock signal cables. This connection mode
ensures that the system clock of the BSC6910 works properly in the event a single point of
failure occurs on the clock board, Y-shaped clock signal cable, or SCU board. In addition,
the Y-shaped clock signal cable ensures that the SCU boards are working properly during
the switchover of the active and standby clock boards.
 NOTE:
 In the MPS, the clock board sends clock signals to the SCU board in the same subrack
through the backplane channel. Therefore, a Y-shaped clock signal cable is not required.

 The OM network of the BSC6910 consists of the U2000, LMT, OMU, SCUb boards,
and OM modules in other boards.
 U2000
 The U2000 is a centralized network management system. The U2000 is
connected to the BSC6910 through Ethernet cables. One U2000 can remotely
manage multiple BSC6910s.
 LMT
 The LMT is connected to the EOMUa board of the BSC6910 and works on the
Windows XP Professional or Windows Vista operating system. One or more
LMTs can be connected to the EOMUa board directly or through networks. The
maintenance of the BSC6910 can be performed locally or remotely through the
LMT. The LMT is connected to an alarm box through a serial cable.
 EOMUa Board
 The EOMUa board is the back administration module of the BSC6910. It is connected
to an external device through the Ethernet cable. The BSC6910 can be configured with
one EOMUa board in independent mode or with two EOMUa boards in active/standby
mode.
 The EOMUa board functions as a bridge between the BSC6910 and the LMT/U2000.
The OM network of the BSC6910 is classified into the following networks:
 Internal network: implements the communication between the EOMUa board
and the host boards of the BSC6910.

 External network: implements the communication between the EOMUa board

and external devices, such as the LMT or U2000.

 If the internal network and external network are on different network segments, ensure
that the two networks are isolated.
 The dual OM plane design is implemented by the hardware that works in active/standby
mode. When an active component is faulty but the standby component works properly, a
switchover is automatically performed between the active and standby components, to
ensure that the OM channel works properly.
 The active/standby EOMUa boards use the same external virtual IP address to
communicate with the LMT or U2000 and use the same internal virtual IP address to
communicate with the SCUb board
 When the active EOMUa board is faulty, an active/standby switchover is performed
automatically, and the standby EOMUa board takes over the OM task. In this case,
the internal and external virtual IP addresses remain unchanged. Thus, the proper
communication between the internal and external networks of the BSC6910 is
ensured.
 When a single-point failure occurs on the switching network, the active/standby
SCUb boards in each subrack are switched over automatically to ensure that the
OM channel works properly.

board, clock processing board, general processing board, service identification board,
and interface processing board.

 Board Redundancy
 Board Backup
 In the board backup mode, two boards work in active/standby mode, with one
working as the active board and the other working as the standby board. Services
can be processed by only the active board or both the active and standby boards. If
the active board is faulty, the BSC6910 automatically switches over the active and
standby boards.
 Board Resource Pool
 A resource pool is an operating mode in which the resource nodes with the same
characteristics function as a resource pool. The resources in this pool are allocated
and managed according to the capabilities and status of each resource node.
 When this mode is used, the system allocates services in the resource pool to
corresponding resource nodes and provides suitable service resources.
 If a resource node becomes faulty, all services carried by the resource node are
interrupted. New services are not allocated to the resource node until it recovers
and re-enters the resource pool.

 Port Redundancy
 MSP 1:1 backup
 In MSP 1:1 backup mode, the active optical port transmits and receives data. When
the active optical port is faulty, the standby optical port takes over the tasks from
the active optical port.
 When the active and standby optical ports are switched over, transmission is
interrupted for one to three seconds. Stable services (for example, established calls)
are not interrupted but the service qualities deteriorate temporarily. Transient
services (for example, calls that are being established or during the handover) are
interrupted.
 MSP 1+1 backup
 In MSP 1+1 backup mode, both the active and standby optical ports transmit data.
However, only the active optical port receives data. When the active optical port is
faulty, the standby optical port takes over the tasks from the active optical port.
 When the active and standby optical ports are switched over, transmission is
interrupted for one to three seconds. Stable services (for example, established calls)
are not interrupted but the service qualities deteriorate temporarily. Transient
services (for example, calls that are being established or during the handover) are
interrupted.
 Port Trunking

 Port trunking enables multiple physical ports to be grouped into one logical
port. This technology improves the reliability of data transmission.
 Trunk groups are used for transmission. A trunk group consists of multiple
physical links. If a physical link in the trunk group becomes faulty, the data
carried on the faulty link is transferred to other links in the trunk group.
Therefore, the link failure does not interrupt the communication between both
ends of the trunk group.
 The maximum traffic of the trunk group can reach the total traffic on all the
physical links in the trunk group. Port trunking improves transmission reliability
and transmission bandwidth.
 Port Load Sharing
 Port load sharing is an operating mode in which the data streams that have
the same destination are distributed to different physical ports so that the load
is shared by these ports.
 Port load sharing applies to the data transmission service. Ports working in the
load sharing mode have independent IP addresses and they can send data
packets. If one port becomes faulty, the system stops allocating data to this
faulty port and the data carried on this port is transferred to other ports.



 The BSC6910 hardware consists of cabinets, cables, GPS antenna system, and LMT.


 The straight-through cable is of two types: the shielded straight-through cable and the
unshielded straight-through cable.
 The shielded straight-through cable is used to connect the EOMUa/FG2c board to other
devices. The number of straight-through cables to be installed depends on the site
requirements.

 The optical fiber has an LC/PC connector at one end connected to an optical interface
board. The other end of the optical fiber can use an LC/PC connector, SC/PC connector, or
FC/PC connector as required

 The RJ45 connector at one end of the Y-shaped clock cable is connected to the SCUb
board in the EPS. The two RJ45 connectors at the other end of the cable are connected to
the active and standby GCUa/GCGa boards in the MPS.

 When the distance between two subracks in different cabinets is longer than 10 m (32.80
ft.), the SCUb boards in the two subracks need to be connected using a multimode optical
fiber. The SCUb boards inside the same cabinet are connected using SFP+ high-speed
cables.

 The SCUb board transmits CS signal from the EGPUa board to the A interface board,
which then transmits the signal to the MGW.


 The uplink CS signals are sent from the BTS to the Abis interface board in the MPS/EPS.
 The Abis interface board encapsulates the CS signals in PTRAU frames, which are then
transmitted to the EGPUa board through the SCUb board.
 The EGPUa board converts PTRAU frames into RTP frames, reorders RTP frames, and
eliminates jitter.
 The SCUb board transmits CS signals from the EGPUa board to the A interface board,
and then the A interface board transmits the signals to the MGW.

 The PS signal flow on the uplink is as follows:

 The packet data is sent from the BTS to the Abis interface board in the
MPS/EPS. The data uses one to four 16 kbit/s sub-timeslots on the Abis
interface, depending on the modulation and coding scheme, for example, CS1-
CS4 or MCS1-MCS9.
 PS sub-timeslots end over the Abis interface and are converted into UoIP,
which are then switched by the SCUb to the EGPUa or EXPUa board.
 The EGPUa or EXPUa board converts the frame format and then transmits the
data to the Gb interface board through the SCUb board.
 The Gb interface board processes the packet data according to the IP protocol
and then transmits it to the SGSN over the Gb interface.
