    PCU Architecture & Technical Presentation

    Uploaded by

    MohamedSalah
    This document discusses GPRS implementation and its impact on GSM networks. It addresses questions about additional radio carriers and software features for GPRS. It describes how single carrier sites can share timeslots between voice and GPRS. In high density areas, multiple carriers may be needed to guarantee quality of service for voice and data. The PCU hardware architecture uses Compact PCI modules to manage GPRS air interface and the Gb interface to the SGSN. Existing BTS platforms can support GPRS through software upgrades while the PCU provides new hardware and software.

    How to Configure the PCU
    Simple Rules

    1 - 16 Slot Compact PCI Shelf
    1 - MPROC Compact PCI Board
    1 - Bridge Board
    2 - Packet Interface Control Processor Boards
    1 - 9 Packet Resource Processor Boards
    Equation:
    PICP = Total Active Timeslots / 30
    (Note: always round up)
    An extra board may be added for redundancy
