5. INTRODUCTION
Battlefield Telecommunications Systems (BTS) plans to develop a collapsed FAP-CNE network
solution that can be deployed as a single node.
The project aims to build a commercial field deployable solution focused on robustness and some
new features. The features contains for Phase 1 and Phase 2 are:-
Feature List for Phase -1:
 Robustness of the network elements
 Support for commercial SIM Authentication Algorithm
 Support for resource handling using RANAP RESET and RESET RESOURCE procedures
 Support for dynamic OVSF code allocation implementation.
 Simultaneous CS and PS calls

Feature List for Phase -2:


 System uptime requirement up to 3 days
 Simultaneous CS/PS attach
 Porting to Octasic 1010 platform

5.1. Scope
The scope of this document is limited to the test procedure Integration of all 3G network
components on BTS selected platform. This test plan will be used to test the product in CCIN labs.

5.2. Assumptions & Dependencies


This document describes test cases valid for FAP, HNBGW and Core network elements. The
testing at CCPU labs will be done on PicoChip PC7312 and Octasic 1010 Band5 platform.

5.3. Limitations & Constraints


Limitations:
 Femtocell node will interface to Continuous Computing provided CNE (which executes
limited procedures). Femtocell node will not be tested with real or any other CN.
 CCPU will not test extra-ordinary error conditions that may occur due to disruptions
triggered by external modules such as a proprietary module added by BTS which interacts
with CCPU Femtocell solution.
Constraints:
 Testing would be done using maximum of 6 mobiles available for phase2 testing at CCIN
lab.
 Phase 2 will continue to support the same capacity as Phase 1 through PC312 board.

 Configuration of the Femtocell applications and stacks shall be done using configuration text
files only. There will be no remote configuration supported.

6. TEST OVERVIEW AND ARCHITECTURE
6.1. Architecture

The BTS FemtoNode solution shall work as a collapsed node containing the FAP and the CNE
components in one box. The Femtocell shall support high speed data exchange in DL and shall use
various architecture options for core network access.
The solution comprises of Continuous Computing provided Software that will run over Pico chip
provided platform having PHY capability and provides C Callable API. The node interfaces with
UE on radio interface (i.e. Uu) and on Iu interface towards Core network. Iu interface uses IP
transport to carry Iu Control data and Iu User Data.

8. CONFIGURATION
8.1. Creating configuration Files.
Every product will have a creCfg file and an optional configInfo.txt file. These files are
responsible for creating the configuration files. The creCfg script reads the configInfo.txt to set
variable parameters such as IP address and PLMN Id.

8.2. Sample configInfo.txt

Below is a sample configInfo.txt file taken from SGSN product.

1 # IP ADDRESSES
