1 Introduction
1.1 Positioning
This document describes HUAWEI USN9810 V900R011.
The Huawei-proprietary USN9810 is a unified service node that can be deployed in 2.5G
general packet radio service (GPRS) systems, 3G universal mobile telecommunications
systems (UMTSs), or evolved packet core (EPC) systems.
The USN9810 is deployed at the EPC and can provide the functionalities of the serving GPRS
support node (SGSN), mobility management entity (MME), or any combination of them. It is
maintained as a single piece of equipment.
1.1.1 3GPP System Evolution

This section describes the evolution of the EPC system.
1. Introduction to existing networks
With the evolution of the radio technologies, existing networks have evolved from the
2G global system for mobile communications (GSM) to the 2.5G GPRS and lastly the
3G UMTS.
This evolution has allowed mobile communications to achieve wide area coverage,
high-speed radio data transmission, and integration with the Internet. The result is that
the consumer can enjoy diversified services like voice, data, and video applications and
"any time, any place" communication delivered in a personalized fashion.
Currently, with the robust development of services and diversification of requirements,
the 3G UMTS architecture is hindered by inherent limitations:
− Insufficient support for packet switched (PS) domain network services. Generally, the
3G UMTS system is capable of supporting only non-real time services and depends
on the circuit switched (CS) domain to bear voice services. This results in separate
network operations for PS and CS, which hinders centralized network maintenance
and management and increases OM expenditures.
− Low efficiency in routing and forwarding data due to excessive network layers.
Therefore, network performance needs to be improved.
− Incapable of supporting multiple radio access systems. The development of service
terminals in processing capabilities and radio access capabilities provides an impetus
for the integration of multiple radio access technologies.

2. Introduction to EPC networks

To maintain a competitive edge in future networks, the 3rd Generation Partnership
Project (3GPP) began to research the implications and long-term evolution of 3G
technology-E3G technology. E3G refers to the enhanced 3G system, which has the
following features:
− The technology for the air interface in E3G is LTE.
− The core network evolution program of the LTE project is SAE, also known as the
EPC.
The 3GPP EPC project is working on a long-term program to explore key technologies
in the next 10 years. According to the 3GPP evolution design, the EPC system provides
the following features:
− Overall packetization of the network architecture: The all-IP network contains only
the PS. Voice services are jointly provided by the PS and the IP multimedia
subsystem (IMS), enhancing the network efficiency and performance.
− Delayered network architecture: The network architecture becomes simpler so that
networks can be deployed more easily and data transmission delay is greatly reduced.
The S-GW and P-GW may be implemented in one physical node, delayering the
network.
− Support for multiple access technologies: The EPC system supports interworking
with the existing 3GPP system. In addition, it supports access of users in non-3GPP
networks and provides roaming and handover between the 3GPP and non-3GPP
networks for users.
− High data transmission rate: The peak rate of the downlink traffic reaches 100 Mbit/s
and the peak rate of the uplink traffic reaches 50 Mbit/s.
− Fast deployment: Thanks to the simplified architecture, networks can be deployed
rapidly to adapt to the requirements of the changing services.
− Enhanced real-time services: The EPC system supports real-time services and
reduces the setup time for service connections.
Figure 1-1 shows the evolution of the network architecture in the 3GPP standard.

NodeB: 3G base station RNC: radio network controller
SGSN: serving GPRS support node GGSN: gateway GPRS support node
eNodeB: evolved NodeB MME: mobility management entity
Serving Gateway: serving gateway PDN Gateway: packet data network gateway
The EPC network is designed for high-speed mobile packet data services. The network
architecture is greatly simplified. Compared with the earlier versions, the architecture is
optimized in the following ways:
The LTE base stations are directly connected to the EPS core network. The previously
independent base station controller (BSC) functions are integrated into the eNodeB.
The PS domain is restructured as follows:

− The signaling plane and forwarding plane of the SGSN are separated from each other.
The signaling function of the SGSN is implemented by the MME, and the forwarding
function of the SGSN is implemented by the S-GW.
In a version earlier than USN9810 V900R011C00, an SGSN is called a Gn/Gp SGSN. In a

version later than USN9810 V900R011C00, an SGSN is called an S4 SGSN.
The Gn/Gp SGSN inherits the SGSN functions of the 2G/3G network. The GGSN can be
connected to the GERAN or UTRAN through the Gn/Gp SGSN. The S4 SGSN is the upgraded
version of Gn/Gp SGSN. The EPC can be connected to the GERAN or UTRAN through the S4
SGSN, which supports the users' switchover between the GERAN/UTRAN and E-UTRAN.
− The functions of the GGSN are provided by the P-GW.
− The S-GW and P-GW may be implemented in one physical node, delayering the
network.
The network converges with the non-3GPP networks such as CDMA2000 high rate
packet data (HRPD) network, providing the interworking for various radio access
technologies as shown in Figure 1-2.
Figure 1-2 Various types of radio accesses technologies implemented by the LTE/EPC system
1.1.2 LTE/EPC Solution

In response to the latest evolution of the network architecture, Huawei provides the
corresponding LTE/EPC solution that supports different network elements (NEs) such as the
MME, S-GW, and P-GW to keep up with the development trends of multi-service
convergence and multi-access convergence.
The USN9810 is deployed at the EPC and can provide the functionalities of the SGSN, MME,
or any combination of them. It is maintained as a single piece of equipment.

E-UTRAN: It implements all functions related to the radio access.
EPC: It is the core network, consisting of the MME, S-GW, P-GW, and HSS and
connecting the external PDNs such as the Internet.
1.1.3 NE Introduction
As specified in 3GPP 23.401, the functions of the NEs in the LTE/EPC solution are described
as follows:
E-UTRAN
The E-UTRAN implements all functions related to the radio access to the LTE/EPC network,
including:
Management and establishment of radio resources

The MME is responsible for mobility management in the control plane, including
management of the user contexts and mobile status, and assignment of temporary identifiers.
The functions of the MME include:
NAS signaling
NAS signaling security
Inter CN node signaling for mobility between 3GPP access networks (terminating S3)
UE reachability in ECM-IDLE state (including control and execution of paging
retransmission)
Tracking Area list management
P-GW and S-GW selection
MME selection for handovers with MME change
Roaming (S6a towards home HSS)
Authentication
Bearer management functions including dedicated bearer establishment
S-GW
The S-GW is the anchor point in the user plane between different access networks. It can
shield interfaces within the 3GPP network towards different access networks. The S-GW is
the gateway that terminates the interface towards E-UTRAN.
The functions of the S-GW include:
The local mobility anchor point for inter-eNodeB handover
Assist the eNodeB reordering function during inter-eNodeB handover by sending one or
more "end marker" packets to the source eNodeB immediately after switching the path
Mobility anchoring for inter-3GPP mobility (terminating S4 and relaying the traffic
between 2G/3G system and P-GW)

same GBR QCI for example, by rate policing/shaping)
DHCPv4 (server and client) and DHCPv6 (server) functions
UL and DL bearer binding
UL bearer binding verification
SGSN
The LTE/EPC architecture supports the Gn/Gp SGSN and S4 SGSN.
The Gn/Gp SGSN inherits the SGSN functions of the 2G/3G network. The GGSN can be
connected to the GERAN or UTRAN through the Gn/Gp SGSN. The S4 SGSN is the
upgraded version of Gn/Gp SGSN. The EPC can be connected to the GERAN or UTRAN
through the S4 SGSN, which supports the users' switchover between the GERAN/UTRAN
and E-UTRAN.
The SGSN is an NE used to provide the packet data services. The main function of the SGSN
is to forward the IP packets from/to the UEs in its own SGSN service area. The functions of
the SGSN include:
Routing and forwarding data packets from/to all mobile users in its own SGSN area
Encryption and authentication
Session management
Mobility management
Logical link management
Bill generation and export for collecting usage information of radio resources

HSS
The home subscriber server (HSS) stores all subscriber data related to services provided by
LTE/EPC networks.
CG
As a device on the LTE/EPC network, the CG collects, and pre-processes the charging history
records (CDRs) generated by the GGSN, S-GW and P-GW. The CG also provides an interface
to the billing center. When an LTE/EPC user accesses the Internet, several NEs generate
CDRs. Each NE may generate several CDRs. The CG pre-processes the CDRs, and then
sends them to the billing center. Thus, the work load of the billing center is reduced. If the CG
is applied in the network, the GGSN, S-GW and P-GW do not need to provide interfaces to
the billing center.
PCRF
PCRF is the policy and charging control element.
In a non-roaming scenario, there is only a single PCRF in the Home Public Land Mobile
Network (HPLMN) associated with one UE's IP-CAN session. The PCRF terminates the Rx
interface and the Gx interface.
In a roaming scenario with local breakout of traffic there may be two PCRFs associated with
one UE's IP-CAN session:
H-PCRF that resides within the H-PLMN
V-PCRF that resides within the V-PLMN
The functions of the H-PCRF include:
Terminating the Rx interface for home network services
Terminating the S9 interface for roaming with local breakout
Associating the sessions established over the multiple interfaces (S9, Rx), for the same
UE's IP-CAN session
Terminating the Gx interface for home network services in the roaming scenario
The functions of the V-PCRF include:
Terminating the Gx and S9 interfaces for roaming with local breakout
Terminating Rx for roaming with local breakout and visited operator's application
function
AAA Server
The AAA server is used for authentication, authorization, and accounting. It complies with the
Remote Authentication Dial in User Service (RADIUS) protocol. The AAA server can also be
deployed on other networks in addition to LTE/EPC networks.
3GPP AAA Server

The 3GPP AAA server is used for mobility related authentication for the switchover to
non-3GPP networks and is used to provide static QoS information for users that access the
UGW9811 through non-3GPP access networks.
DNS
There are two types of DNS on the LTE/EPC network:
DNS located between the P-GW and the PDN
It is used to resolve the domain name of the PDN, equivalent to a common DNS on the
Internet.
DNS located on the LTE/EPC core network
When the UE requests to access an external network for packet services, the MME
requests the DNS to resolve the domain name according to the access point name (APN).
After the IP address of the corresponding P-GW is obtained, a transmission channel can
be set up between the UE and P-GW.
In mobility management procedures, such as attach and tracking area update (TAU), a
DNS is used for selecting the peer MME/SGSN.
The DNS can also be deployed on other networks in addition to GPRS/UMTS networks.
1.2 Introduction to the USN9810

The USN9810 is an MME device developed by Huawei. The USN9810 features multiple
access standards and multiple logical product types. It supports access to the GPRS, UMTS or
LTE and exists in the form of the SGSN, MME or their combined logical type.
Large Capacity and High Integration

The USN9810 supports a maximum of 12 million 4G subscribers attached at the same time.
In the case of full configuration, only two cabinets and six subracks are required.
The USN9810 supports a maximum of 12 million 2.5G or 3G subscribers attached and 2.2
million Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context activated at the same time. In the case of full
configuration, only three cabinets and eight subracks are required.
The USN9810 uses a high-speed forwarding processor to forward the data on the user plane,
which improves the processing efficiency and integration of the system. The USN9810
configured for 2.5G subscribers supports data forwarding at a maximum of 3.6 Gbit/s. The
USN9810 configured for 3G subscribers supports data forwarding at a maximum of 20 Gbit/s.
Advanced ATCA Platform

Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) is a hardware standard. It is
the name of the architecture standard for the hardware platform rather than the name of a
specific product.
Developed on the basis of the CPCI standard, ATCA meets new requirements of the telecom
industry. Compared with CPCI, ATCA possesses the following features:
Providing powerful processing capability, that is, providing sufficient bandwidth, faster
calling rate and loading rate of the processor, and improved running efficiency to meet
the current and future requirements.
Enhancing the reliability of the system by separating the management platform, the
control plane, and the service plane, all with a point-to-point structure.

Providing large space in boards. The hot-swappable advanced mezzanine card (AMC)
will be supported in the future. Thus, the embedded application, server application, and
digital signal processing (DSP) array can be flexibly combined to meet the application
requirements for different capacities.
1. Hardware Platform
The USN9810 V900R001 uses the internal open standards telecom architecture (OSTA 2.0)
platform of Huawei. Based on the ATCA technology, OSTA 2.0 provides high rate, high
reliability, and high scalability.
The OSTA 2.0 hardware platform stipulates a series of specifications related to boards and
software for the next generation telecom devices. Based on the ATCA standard architecture
and conforming to the network equipment building system (NEBS) and European
telecommunications standards institute (ETSI) standards, the platform has the following
features:
High rate
The high-speed serial data link and switched structure are used. Thus, the data exchange
bandwidth intra-subrack can reach 2.5 Tbit/s.
High reliability
All boards and subboards are hot swappable. In addition, redundancy is implemented on
all key components, such as power supply, fan, management module, and board of each
type. Thus, the reliability of the system reaches 99.999%.
High scalability
The USN9810 supports the addition of the interfaces on the ATCA board and cascading
between subracks through the interface board within a subrack.
Efficient management
The standard management bus is used, which can manage any part in the system.
2. Software Platform
The USN9810 V900R001 uses the embedded software platform, namely, carrier grade
platform (CGP), which is universally used by the core network products of Huawei. The CGP
has the features such as cross-hardware platform, cross-operating system, and easy
maintenance.
Cross-hardware platform
A uniform interface of the hardware platform is provided, which implements the
operation of upper-layer applications on different hardware platforms. Thus, the
hardware management is independent of the hardware platform.
Cross-operating system
Different interfaces of the operating system at the lower layer are shielded. Instead, a
uniform virtual operating system application programming interface (VOS API) is
provided for upper-layer applications.
Easy maintenance
The implementation mechanisms of the functions such as operation and maintenance,
alarm management, performance measurement, call and signaling tracing, data backup,
board switchover, and online loading are provided for upper-layer applications.

Easy Operation and Maintenance

The operation and maintenance (OM) system of the USN9810 has the following features:
Flexible OM methods
The OM system can be flexibly built according to the network structure and customer
requirements. Multiple maintenance interfaces are supported, including the interfaces to
the local maintenance terminal (LMT) and the Huawei centralized network management
system iManager M2000. Through the Common Object Request Broker Architecture
(CORBA) interface provided by the iManager M2000, flexible network management can
be implemented.
Maintenance interface combining MML and GUI
The interface is characteristic of easy and quick operations provided by man-machine
language (MML) in addition to vivid display and easy memory provided by graphic user
interface (GUI).
Powerful signaling trace
The USN9810 provides the S1-AP, S11 and Gn/Gp interfaces for signaling trace. In
addition, it supports hierarchical signaling trace according to the protocol. The USN9810
can also interpret and filter tracing messages.
Online software patching
Software problems can be solved online without impacting services. In addition, you can
perform remote and rollback operations.
High Reliability
The USN9810 is highly reliable because of the following features:
Backup of important data
The USN9810 automatically backs up important data, such as the configuration data,
performance data, and operation logs.
Operation security management
Different management privileges are assigned to different users. During the user login,
the USN9810 checks the user identity. After the user login, the USN9810 maintains the
complete operation to ensure system security.
Hardware redundancy design
All critical boards are configured in the 1+1 backup to ensure the high reliability of the
system.
Fault prevention
The USN9810 provides protection mechanisms to avoid the following system faults:
− System power off
− Maloperation on the system power switch
− Lightning surge on the system power
− High voltage and low voltage
− Short circuit of power supply
− Current surge and high voltage on the power supply and interfaces
System overload control

In the case of center processing unit (CPU) overload or resource congestion, the
USN9810 adjusts the traffic smoothly to avoid system down.
Board lock and unlock, process lock and unlock
The board and process lock function stops access to new services as required and
gradually removes the existing services within a certain period. The board and process
unlock function, however, provides access to new services.

2 Architecture
2.1 Overview
The system structure of the USN9810 includes hardware structure and software structure.
2.2 Hardware Architecture

The USN9810 uses the Huawei OSTA 2.0 hardware platform, which is based on ATCA. The
physical structure of the platform consists of cabinets, subracks, and boards.
Introduction to the Cabinet

As a cabinet-type device, the USN9810 uses the Huawei N68E-22 cabinet. The available
space of the cabinet is 46 U (1 U = 44.45 mm = 1.75 inch). The cabinet, composed of the
power distribution frame (PDF), OSTA 2.0 subrack, cabling frame, filler panel, rack, and slide
rail, enables the internal modules to be flexibly configured.

Host Software
The host software runs on different boards. It implements functions such as signaling access
and processing, service control, resource management, and charging information generation.
In response to specific commands, the host software also performs the following operations
such as data management, device management, alarm management, performance statistics,
and signaling trace on the host in cooperation with the BAM software.
The host software adopts a hierarchical and modular design. From bottom to top, its
components are the operating system, middleware, and various applications.
1. Operating System
The operating system of the host software is Linux, which is a real-time operating system.
2. Middleware
The middleware technology (DOPRA) is applied to the operating system and applications of
the USN9810. Thus, the upper-layer service software is irrelevant to the lower-layer operating
system.
The middleware facilitates the migration of software functions between different platforms.
Thus, new and stable product versions are released quickly as the service software is rarely
changed.
3. Applications
The application is the functional part of the USN9810 software. Loaded with different
applications, boards can provide different functions. The USN9810 applications can be
classified into the following types:
Signaling bearer software: Implements the access of broadband and narrowband
signaling and processing of the lower-layer protocols
Service processing software: Performs signaling processing, session management,
mobility management, and resource management
Database software: Manages device data and dynamic subscriber data
System support software: Implements system management and device interconnection

OM software: Receives the operation commands from the OMU and reports the
command results to the OMU
BAM Software
The BAM software runs on the OMU, LMT, and Web UI. Along with the host software, it
provides the man-machine interface, which enables the maintenance personnel to implement
the following functions: data management, device management, alarm management,
performance statistics, signaling trace, and CDR management.
The BAM software adopts the client/server model. It consists of the OMU server software,
LMT software, and Web UI software. The OMU server software is installed on the OMU. The
LMT software and Web UI software is installed on the client, namely, a PC.
1. OMU server software
The OMU server software runs on the OMU board. As a combination of the communication
server and the database server, the OMU server software forwards OM commands from
different workstations to the host and sends responses or command results to the
corresponding workstations. The OMU server software serves as the essential unit of the
OAM software.
The OMU server software runs on the Linux operating system and uses the Oracle as the
database platform. It provides functions of the terminal OAM software through multiple
parallel service processes, such as maintenance process, data management process, alarm
process, and performance statistical process. Figure 2-7 shows the relation between the OMU
server software, operating system, and database platform.

2. LMT software
The LMT software runs on a workstation. Serving as a client, the LMT software is connected
to the OMU, serving as a server, in client/server mode. The LMT software provides
MML-based graphical terminals. A workstation can be located locally or remotely. For
example, a remote workstation can be connected to the OMU server through a wide area
network (WAN) in dial-up mode.

In addition, you can perform the following maintenance functions on a workstation: data
maintenance, device management, alarm management, performance statistics, call trace, and
signaling trace.
3. Web UI software
The Web UI software is namely the Web client. You can use the Web browser, such as IE
browser, to perform performance management and traffic statistics. In addition, the Web
browser can also be used during upgrade.

4 Operation and Maintenance
The USN9810 offers abundant services and functions, and meets the requirements of multiple
networks and operations.
4.1 Overview
This part briefs the operation and maintenance system in the network, interfaces, and
functions.
4.2 Benefits
The operation and maintenance (O&M) system of the USN9810 has the following features:
Flexible O&M methods
The O&M system can be flexibly built according to the network structure and customer
requirements. Multiple maintenance interfaces are supported, including the interfaces to
the local maintenance terminal (LMT), the Huawei centralized network management
system iManager M2000. Through the Common Object Request Broker Architecture
(CORBA) interface provided by the iManager M2000, more network management
requirements can be fulfilled.
Friendly user interfaces
The USN9810 provides O&M interfaces that combines the merits of both man-machine
language (MML) and graphic user interface (GUI).
Web UI-based maintenance operation and performance browse
The Web UI-based maintenance operation and performance browse are added. That is,
certain maintenance operations and performance browse are implemented on the Web.
Powerful signaling tracing
The USN9810 provides interface tracing, subscriber tracing, and entire-process tracing.
It is a powerful tool for equipment maintenance.
Interface tracing tasks can be performed on interfaces such as the Gb, Iu, Gn, Gp, Gs, Gd,
Gr, Ga, S1-MME, S6a, S10, and S11 interface or performed for the protocols such as
SCCP, MTP3B, SAAL, DIAMETER, and S1AP.

The subscriber tracing traces the messages of the specified IMSI or mobile station
international ISDN number (MSISDN).
The entire-process tracing traces how the packets with specified characteristics are
transmitted between modules and calculate the number of packets of the same
characteristics processed in each module. This is used to locate the problems during
packet transmission such as protocol handling errors, packet loss, delay, packet fault, or
sequence disorder.
Operators can save the trace results to handle any queries in the future.
Configuration rollback
The configuration rollback in batches is supported. Only one rollback point can be set.
One-key upgrade and installation
Software patching in function level
Through online software patching, software errors can be solved without interrupting
services. The USN9810 also supports remote patching and version fallback.
