Dynamic ConfigurationM900/M1800 BSC Data Configuration Manual Chapter 1 Overview

1-1

Chapter 1 Overview

BSC Data Auto Configuration System adopts a graphic operation interface. With the

introduction of graphic operation interface and operation in wizard, the task of data

configuration is simplified. The BSC Data Auto Configuration System offers initial data

configuration function and dynamic data configuration function. Moreover, it also

provides data browsing function.

To perform initial configuration, use the mouse and keyboard to perform operations to

the equipment objects, such as BIEs, sites, TRXs and cells, in graphic interface, then

input necessary data configuration information to complete the data configuration.

Complex trunk and networking data are generated automatically. The cell, power

control and channel management data adopt default configuration and can be

adjusted automatically according to actual practice if necessary. The initial data

configuration process is efficient and easy to learn.

Operation tasks for dynamic data configuration are categorized according to the

on-site demands. Each task adopts wizard mode to instruct the user to complete the

complicated in-service system configuration and network parameter adjustment. The

system generates commands for dynamic configuration according to the operation

tasks the user selects.

1.1 Data Configuration Principle

I. Data Configuration Path

There are two paths to start BSC Data Auto Configuration System:

1) Start BSC Data Auto Configuration System from OMC system. In this path, we also

have two choices:

z With OMC Server, user connects to OMC Server through OMC Shell, and then

start BSC Data Auto Configuration System.

z Without OMC Server, users start OMC Local WS, select the IP address of BAM,

and then start BSC Data Auto Configuration System.

2) Start BSC Data Auto Configuration System from iManager M2000 System. There

are also two choices:

z With M2000 Server, user connects to M2000 Server through iManager M2000,

and then start BSC Data Auto Configuration System.

z Without M2000 Server, users start Local WS, select the IP address of BAM, and

then start BSC Data Auto Configuration System.




1-2

Either with OMC Server(M2000 Server) or not, when BSC Data Auto Configuration

System launch, system download autocfg.dat from FTP Server at BAM to WS (Work

Station) with FTP (File Transfer Protocol); after accomplish transfer and conversion,

or accomplish dynamic configuration, load autocfg.dat from WS to FTP Server.

Data configuration principle of BSC is shown in Figure 1-1.

II. Data Category

BSC data includes BSC Data Auto Configuration System data, BAM data and FAM

data.

z BSC Data Auto Configuration System data is used when graphic data

configuration interfaces are adopted. They are saved in the file AutoCfg.dat inC:\OMC\BSC\BAM\dload\cfgdata. The data configuration files of BSC Data Auto

Configuration System are transferred from the Client to the designated directory

of BAM via FTP.

z BAM data are also saved at BAM in *.DBF and *.DAT format. *.DBF files are

saved in C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\dbf and system table files are saved in

C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\DBF\SYSTEM. The data converted from *.DBF are saved in

the directory C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\DLOAD, with the file name as DB_*.DAT. "*" of

DB_*.DAT represents module Number and one module corresponds to one data

file. Files after format conversion can be transferred to the GMPU of BSC via

channels between FAM and BAM during BSC loading or data setting.

z FAM data refer to the data saved in GMPU, adopting binary system.

Caution:

Except data for modules, there are also such important files as cc08.bsm, cc08.ctn, cc08.mcm,

cc08.mcs and cc08.snt under DLOAD directory. Data under DLOAD directory cannot be deleted and

modified through Windows Explorer during routine maintenance.

The relationship between various kinds of data is illustrated in Figure 1-2.

Figure 1-2 The relationship between various kinds of data

During initial configuration, if it wants to be saved, select [File/Backup Data to] to save

the current modification. After the file for data configuration is saved, if the system

exits service abnormally before data transfer and conversion, select [File/Reload Data

from] to recover the data modified.

In initial configuration, after all the data are configured, perform transfer operation to

convert the BSC Data Auto Configuration System data into DBF format. Then convertthe DBF data into *.DAT format with conversion operation. Then finally reset all the

modules to load the data.

Note:

The file saving path in this manual refers to the default path for software installation, if there is no

dedicated description about the path.

1.2 Authority

To guarantee the stable operation of the system, strict operation authority system is

designed for the BSC Data Auto Configuration System.

I. Advanced User

The advanced users enjoy the highest operation authority of the BSC Data Auto

Configuration System. They can implement all data configuration. Advanced users of

BSC Data Auto Configuration System include users with Service Setting Authority,

users with Management Authority, users with OMC Setting Authority and users with

OMC Management Authority.

II. Ordinary User

The ordinary users can only browse data. Ordinary users of BSC Data Auto

Configuration System refer to users with Service Query Authority.




1-4

Caution:

To avoid the bad impact on system for wrong data configuration or improper operation, user authority

management must be enforced properly. Different user must use different user name and password. It is

recommended that personnel proficient in the system are configured as Advanced User.

1.3 Operation Step

1) Backup AutoCfg.dat and *.dbf at BAM. The file path for AutoCfg.dat is

C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\dload\cfgdata; the file path for *.dbf is C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\dbf.

2) Prepare detailed data modification procedures and recovery measures if theoperation fails.

3) For critical dynamic configuration, first perform it in simulating environment and

check whether the refreshed DBF data table is correct, If it is correctly refreshed,

perform the operation again in actual environment.

4) If abnormality occurs during initial configuration transferring or conversion and

the operation fails, repeat the operation until it succeeds.

5) For abnormality during dynamic configuration, please refer to 1.8.2

Troubleshooting about Dynamic Configuration.

Note:

The data file AutoCfg.dat of BSC Data Auto Configuration System is saved at the directory

C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\dload\cfgdata at BAM and the system automatically backs up the file AutoCfg.dat at

3 a.m. every day.

The location of backup file: C:\Omc\SHELL\G3BSC32.10100.06.1120A\SYSDATA,

"G3BSC32.10100.06.1120A" corresponds to the software version. The style of backup file is

Figure 1-8 Select the work mode of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System

Caution:

1) The data file AutoCfg.dat of BSC Data Auto Configuration System is saved in BAM, therefore, the

system always obtains data from BAM to ensure data integrity and consistency whether the BSC Data

Auto Configuration System is started from OMC Local Ws or OMC Shell.

2) Some critical operations, such as data transferring, dynamic configuration and setting specified data

table etc., will refresh the default data file AutoCfg.dat, therefore, data file AutoCfg.dat backup is

recommended before these critical operations.

IV. Enter the BSC Data Auto Configuration System the first time

After the OMC software is installed and the user enters the BSC Data Auto

Configuration System the first time, the BSC Data Auto Configuration System will

prompt the user to exit if there is no Autocfg.dat in BAM, as shown in Figure 1-9.

1.5 Initial Data Configuration

Cautions:

1) The Initial Data Configuration is only being used in data configuration for new office deployment and

massive upgrading for office points.

2) After data transmission under initial data configuration mode, data conversion and BSC reset must be

performed to load the newly generated data. Otherwise, data inconsistency between Host (GMPU), DBF,

and BSC Data Auto Configuration System may occur.

Initial Data Configuration, the subscriber can finish hardware configuration on graphic

interfaces. Meanwhile, the system provides default data configuration and correlative

data through auto operation. The system also supports effective check on the inputs

of users. The subscriber only needs to input limited information of data configuration

to complete the whole data configuration for the BSC.

1.5.1 Start initial data configuration

Figure 1-20 Reload data from the WS failed

III. AutoCfg.dat Loading Procedure

When the BSC Data Auto Configuration System is started from OMC Shell, it first

downloads AutoCfg.Dat data file from BAM to the sysdata directory in WS, the original

AutoCfg.Dat data file in the WS is overwritten. And then it loads all the data from AutoCfg.Dat file in the sysdata directory in WS, i.e., generates all the configuration

information displayed in the graphic interfaces. If the connection to the BAM is

interrupted, or the application in FTP Server in BAM is not started, the BSC Data Auto

Configuration System will prompt the user to automatically exit the application.

Caution:

Some important operations such as data transfer or dynamic setting, etc., will refresh the default data file

AutoCfg.dat. Therefore, it is recommended to backup the AutoCfg.dat before these operations.

1.5.4 Modification of System Parameters

I. Overview

The function of modifying system parameters enables the users to modify some

parameter values, including transfer, conversion, dynamic setting timeout threshold,

the number of communication frame sliding windows for adding or deleting DBF data,

etc. so as to improve efficiency of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System. It is

recommended not to easily change these parameters at random. The default values

can be used generally.

control slide window for deleting data cannot be set too large.

1.5.5 Data Transfer and Conversion

I. Overview

The data configured in the BSC Data Auto Configuration System can be transferred to

BAM with the transfer operation. Refresh the entire DBF table of BAM. Then convert

the DBF data of BAM to the file that can be loaded to GMPU in the BSC host. Resetthe BSC and load the data.

II. Procedure Introduction

1) Operation procedure of transferring data

z System firstly verifies if all the data are correct (e.g., whether the CGI is repetitive,

whether the RC has been allocated with frequencies, etc). Calculate all the data

according to the current configuration, (e.g., the Number of various boards, radio

channel configuration table, LAPD signal connection table and LAPD semi-fixed

connection table, etc).

z Send OMC_DELETE communication frame to BAM. Clear all the DBF data of

BAM by BAM. If the data table to be refreshed is specified, the data table to be

cleared is the specified data table.

z According to the current configuration information, the BSC Data Auto

Configuration System will automatically calculate the data to be filled into the

DBF data table and encapsulate them to data frames and send to BAM. Then

BAM will fill the data to the data tables.

z After the entire transfer operation, the BSC Data Auto Configuration System will

automatically save the AutoCfg.Dat at WS, and then load it to FTP Server with

FTP.

z If it is unsuccessful to load file to FTP Server, don't exit the BSC Data Auto

Configuration System, and keep the locking of current client to BAM. After

resolve the fault of FTP Server, Select [File/Backup Data to/FTP Server], select

autocfg.dat for the file name.

2) Operation procedure of data conversion

After the transfer in the BSC Data Auto Configuration System, user must implement

conversion and resetting of whole BSC. System sends a converting command to

BAM. Then, BAM will implement data conversion.

BTS without resetting the GMPU in the BSC.

The Dynamic data configuration adopts the wizard operation mode, guiding the user

to complete the complicated on-line BSS system configuration and dynamically

modify the network parameters. Dynamic data configuration applies a reasonably

arranged Man-Machine Interface for the user to fill in configuration data step by step.

The BSC Data Auto Configuration System then sends data frames of operation data




1-25

table to BAM. The BAM finishes the entire data configuration for BSC offices by

adding, deleting, and modifying the data tables in BAM.

Generally it is used in daily maintenance, such as dynamic addition/deletion of BTS,

cell and RC, dynamic modification of the network optimization parameters.

modifying cell CGI, etc. system report automatically cell information to OMC Server

for Traffic Statistic. Select [Option/Report Cell Information to Server], user can

manually report all cell information of BSC to OMC Server.




1-28

1.6.5 Refresh Selected Tables

To avoid the DBF be empty in BAM because of network or FTP failure, the Dynamic

Data Configuration System supports refreshing selected tables to make the DBF inBAM consistent to the data of Dynamic Data Configuration System, To perform this

function, the user can select [Option/Refresh Selected Tables], then the interface as

shown in Figure 1-35 will pop up.

Figure 1-35 Refresh Selected Tables

First, the user select options, then select the tables to be refreshed from “Table List 0”

to “Refresh Tables 0”, and the user can select whether the selected tables should be

set to host. At last, click the button <OK> to complete the operation.

1.6.6 Dynamic Configuration Procedure

I. With command

BSC Data Auto Configuration System generates all data for BSC table according to

this dynamic configuration. BAM data table will be refreshed according to the

corresponding ID of the Command word. "Refresh" means to clear the data table first,

then to fill in all data record generated this time in turn. The Command word is

requested to be filled into the Command Reference Table, then the corresponding

data table and command line parameter will be set to the present module (BM), and




1-29

data will be stored into the configuration files of the BSC Data Auto Configuration

System. The step is described as the first setting in the following text.

If part of the data tables need to be sent to all modules (BM), the BSC Data Auto

Configuration System will refresh these data tables and clear the record in the table of

command line parameters. Then these data tables (including the empty table of

command line parameters) will then be set to all modules (BM), and configuration

data will again be stored into the configuration files of the BSC Data Auto

Configuration System. The step is described as the second setting in the following

text.

Sending data tables to all modules is also called Inter-module Broadcast.

Secondary setting can be performed for the following dynamic operations. Such as

add/delete sites, add/delete cells, add/delete TRXs, add/delete external cells, modifyexternal cell property, modify interface phase flag, modify cell handover parameters,

modify cell FH attributes, modify cell BCC and NCC, modify TRX channel type,

modify TRX frequencies, modify cell installation status and modify voice optimization

parameters.

The procedure of batch modify cell parameters is same as the procedure described in

above. System generates the corresponding commands, the configuration procedure

is determined by the commands.

II. Without command

BSC Data Auto Configuration System generates all data for BSC table according to

this dynamic configuration without command. BAM data table will be refreshed

according to the corresponding ID of the current configuration. And then the

corresponding data table will be set to all BM, and data will be stored into the

configuration files of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System.

1.7 Data Browsing

Main interface of data browsing working mode is the same as that of the initial dataconfiguration. This makes it convenient for user to understand the present BSC

networking architecture and network planning data.

In the browsing mode, user is allowed to perform modification to the system

configuration, but all changes will not be saved.

Click<Transfer>, the interface will pop up, as shown in Figure 1-36.




1-30

Figure 1-36 Information prompting that data cannot be transferred

Click <Convert>, the interface shown in Figure 1-37 will pop up.

Figure 1-37 Information prompting that data cannot be converted

Select [File/Backup Data to/FTP Server] or [Backup Data to/Local], the interface

shown in Figure 1-38 will pop up.

Figure 1-38 Information prompting that data cannot be saved

In the case of system maintenance and engineer training, this mode can be adopted

to prevent the operators from mis-operating the system.

Note:

It is recommended to use the browse mode when viewing the networking data even for the advanced

user, so as to prevent any mis-operation which may affect the normal running of the BSC.




1-31

1.8 Troubleshooting

1.8.1 Troubleshooting with Starting

I. Loading Fault

If information shown in Figure 1-39 appears when the BSC Data Auto Configuration

System is started, it indicates data loading failure.

Figure 1-39 BSC Data Auto Configuration System start failure information

There are two causes for this failure:

One is that the FTP Server has not been started. Check whether there is FTP Server

icon in Tray of Task Bar in BAM Windows, as shown in Figure 1-40. If the FTP Server

has not been started, double click the Ftps.exe under the directory

C:\OMC\BSC\BAM.

Figure 1-40 FTP Server in-service icon

The second cause is poor network quality. Since the BSC Data Auto Configuration

System obtains data first from the BAM when it is started, it might fail to obtain data if

the network quality is poor. To solve this problem, just wait for a while, then restart the

BSC Data Auto Configuration System.

II. Version not identical

When the BSC Data Auto Configuration System loads data, it will implement

consistency checking of the version of AutoCfg.dat and the version of the current BSC

Data Auto Configuration System. If they are inconsistent, the following warning will

pop up, as shown in Figure 1-41.




1-32

Figure 1-41 Inconsistency between the program version and the data version

Click <OK>. BSC Data Auto Configuration System is downward compatible, if the

version of the current BSC data auto configuration system is higher than the version

of the configuration file (AutoCfg.dat), the program can run normally. Otherwise, theprompt of unknown object will appear. The BSC Data Auto Configuration System

might become abnormal and cannot be used.

Note:

1) Please update the version of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System and make it matching with the

data version. If the problem appears during upgrading, ignore the prompt.

2) After transfer operation is performed in BSC Data Auto Configuration System, the version of the

program and that of the data become consistent. Therefore, the prompt information as shown in

Figure 1-41 will not appear again.

III. No data for BSC Data Auto Configuration System in BAM FTP Server of

BAM

When the user first starts the BSC Data Auto Configuration System and there is no

configuration file of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System in the BAM FTP Server,

the BSC Data Auto Configuration System will prompt the user to automatically exit the

system. Under this case, the user can copy the old AutoCfg.Dat file to the directory

C:\OMC\BSC\BAM\DLOAD\CFGDATA in BAM (this is the directory specified for file

transferring in FTP Server). If there is no old AutoCfg.Dat file, the user can edit any

non-empty data file and save it as AutoCfg.Dat file, then copy it to this directory. The

BSC Data Auto Configuration System will be started normally and prompts the user to

create default data, as shown in Figure 1-42.




1-33

Figure 1-42 Information prompting incomplete data file

Click <OK>, the user can enter the interface shown in Figure 1-43 to select the

working mode of the configuration system.

Figure 1-43 Select working mode of the configuration system

In this interface, "System Dynamic Configuration Work Mode" is unusable, for the

data the system creates by default is that of a single module BSC and the dynamicdata configuration mode is prohibited to prevent users from setting incorrect data to

the GMPU.

Users can start initial data configuration in the BSC Data Auto Configuration System

to edit and transfer the data, convert and load data to GMPU. Then restart the BSC

Data Auto Configuration System, and "System Dynamic Configuration Work Mode"

can be usable.

IV. Login authority

The login authority of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System is based on the user

management authority of OMC Shell or OMC Local WS. The advanced users ( users

with Service Setting Authority, users with Management Authority, users with OMC

Setting Authority and users with OMC Management Authority) can enter any work

mode of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System. If the user does not have the

authority to log in OMC Shell or OMC Local WS, the following information may appear,

as shown in Figure 1-44.




1-34

Figure 1-44 Prompt when the user without authority to start the BSC Data Auto Configuration System

Click <OK>, the user can only enter the view data configuration work mode of the

BSC Data Auto Configuration System, as shown in Figure 1-45.

Figure 1-45 The user can only enter the view data configuration work mode

Caution:

To endure the stable service of BSS, OMC grants different levels of authority to its users, and the BSC

Data Auto Configuration System also provides password authentication mechanism. Only users who

have passed the password authentication of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System can be allowed to

start dynamic configuration or initial configuration.

V. Edit lock of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System

DBF data chaos may be caused if multiple clients implement data configuration of the

same BAM simultaneously. Therefore, only the login users who have the OMC

management authority and data setting authority can perform BAM edit lock. All the

other login users of other clients can only enter the "View data configuration work

mode" of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System. The following prompt will appear

as shown in Figure 1-46 when the user who does not have the edit lock authority

starts the BSC Data Auto Configuration System.




1-35

Figure 1-46 Data configuration on the BAM that is locked

The IP address of login computer and the user name is displayed in Figure 1-46.

Only after the client exit the BSC Data Auto Configuration System, the BAM will be

unlocked, new users can reenter the system and obtain the authority of data

modification.

If the Client with editing authority exits abnormally, find the corresponding computer of

the Client according to the IP address displayed when other Clients entered the BSC

Data Auto Configuration System. Start the BSC Data Auto Configuration System to

enter dynamic configuration mode, then exit normally, the BAM will be unlocked.

Caution:

Do not shut down the BSC Data Auto Configuration System by directly shutting down OMC Shell or

1.8.2 Troubleshooting about Dynamic Configuration

I. Timeout Processing

In the process of dynamic configuration, the abnormal network will lead to, data table

refreshing timeout, data table setting timeout, and dynamic configuration can not be

completed. An exit from the BSC Data Auto Configuration System will cause disparity

between the GMPU/BAM data and the BSC Data Auto Configuration System data.

Processing Method:

Do not exit from the BSC Data Auto Configuration System! Before exiting the

interface, click <Start Dynamic Configuration> to secure a successful result




1-36

II. Abnormal Break Processing

During the process of dynamic configuration, a sudden break-down or power failure of

a client terminal may result in an abnormal exit from the BSC Data Auto Configuration

System.

Processing Method:

z With abnormal situations that occurred before clicking <Start Dynamic

Configuration>, just restart the dynamic configuration.

z With abnormal situations that occurred before saving the data successfully

configured for the first time, the configuration files of the BSC Data Auto

Configuration System have not been refreshed. Re-enter the BSC Data Auto

Configuration System and conduct the same operation as the previous one, then

return.z With abnormal situations that occurred before saving the data successfully

configured for the second time (i.e., the inter-module broadcast), the

configuration files of the BSC Data Auto Configuration System have already

been refreshed. In the initial data configuration mode, refresh [Cell Description

Data Table], [Cell Module Information Table], [External Cell Description Table]

and [Frequency Hopping Data Table] and send them to all modules. If the

dynamic operation is to modify the mark of interface section or the parameter of

voice optimization, set [Local Office Information Table] to all modules.

Note:

During dynamic configuration, all modules being configured data of the multi-module BSC must be in

service. Otherwise, timeout will occur to the dynamic configuration.

III. FTP Server Interrupted during dynamic configuration

Follow the following procedures when the configuration file of the BSC Data Auto

Configuration System has not been saved to BAM due to the interruption of FTP

Server during the whole process of dynamic configuration.

1) Do not exit the BSC Data Auto Configuration System and keep the BAM in

"locked" state to prevent other Clients enter dynamic data configuration mode to

modify the data. If the user exit the BSC Data Auto Configuration System under

this case, other Clients may enter the editing state of the BSC Data Auto

Configuration System, modify and set the data, so that data inconsistency

between BAM and FAM may be incurred.

2) After FTP Server is recovered, back up the data in FTP server by selecting

[Options/Backup Data to/FTP Server]. Note that the name of the backup data file




1-37

is AutoCfg.Dat. In this scenario, the BSC Data Auto Configuration System will

prompt the user to overwrite the file, as shown in Figure 1-47.

Figure 1-47 Prompt information when default data configuration file is overwritten

Select <Yes>, and then back up the data as AutoCfg.Dat. Then, the data obtained by

other Clients from FTP Server will be the data updated after the successful setting.

2.1 Modify BIE Visibility

I. Function

1) Change the visibility of BIE online. The options of visibility include visibility and

invisibility. In general, the configuration of boards such as BIE and GLAP at BSC

Data Auto Configuration System adopts full configuration mode, i.e., the visibility

of the board not configured is set as invisible and cannot be deleted in the initial

data configuration. After the visibility of BIE is changed from invisible to visible,

more sites can be added onto BIE.

2) One dynamic configuration can modify the visibility of many BIEs in one module.

In the multi-module BSC, the transparent-transmission BIE cannot be set as

invisible.

II. Preparation

Be sure that the BIE whose visibility is to be modified has been configured in theinitial data configuration mode, for the dynamic configuration system does not support

adding or deleting of BIE.

Chapter 3 Configure BTS Data

This chapter introduces operations to BTS data. Including: adding/deleting site,

adding/deleting TRX, adding/deleting BTS board, modify site's extended parameter,

modify site's output property, start-up traffic statistic task re-register.

3.1 Add a Site

I. Function

This function is used to add a site online. There is no need to reset BSC.

Caution:

1) Under chain and tree networking, if the new site fails to normally operate, it is recommended that sites

on the chain where this site can be located be reset successively from the one at the uppermost level. In

addition, BIE can also be reset. Check the correctness of the data configuration.

2) After successfully adding a site, re-register the traffic statistics tasks of this site by selecting the

[BTS/Startup Traffic Stat. Task Re-register].

3) If the new site is the first added site of BIE port , and the newly added site can not work, needs to

reset the BIE.

II. Preparation

1) Make sure that there are idle E1 ports on BIE.

2) Add a site involves most of the BSC data. Before dynamic configuration, do checkthe data configuration carefully to avoid data inconsistency or data error.

3) Only one site can be added to one BIE port by one dynamic configuration

operation. If the TRX of the new site is distributed over multiple chains, Add TRX or

Add Cell operation should be performed after the site is successfully added.

4) Dynamic adding or deleting of subsidiary chain is not supported in the system.

Usually configuration of multi-chain should have been completed in the initial

configuration.

3.2 Delete a Site

I. Function

This function is used to delete sites no longer needed. When sites are deleted, all the

cells connected to them will also be deleted.

Caution:

After deleting a site, the corresponding icon on the OMC Shell operation interface should be deleted.

II. Preparation

1) Before site deletion, block all cells through Site Maintenance System. This can

avoid conversations remaining in the site during deletion.

2) Only one site can be deleted each time. If the site to be deleted contains sub-sites

cascaded, the sub-sites cascaded must first be deleted.

recommended that BTSs on the link where this site can be located be reset successively from the one at

the uppermost level. In addition, BIE can also be reset. Check the correctness of the data configuration.

2) After successfully adding a TRX, the traffic statistics tasks of this site should be re-registered.

II. Preparation

1) Before adding the TRX, block the TRX from Site Maintenance System.

2) Dynamic adding or deleting of subsidiary chain is not supported in the system.Usually configuration of multi-chain should have been completed in the initial

configuration.

3) TRX can only be added to one site connected to one BIE port by one dynamic

configuration. To add multiple TRXs to multiple sites or to multiple BIE ports of one

site, please first perform "Add TRX" operation to one site connected to one BIE port,

then repeat the operation.

4) If the BIE port of the site to be added with TRX is in the TS manual adjustment

mode, perform timeslot manual adjustment operation to adjust the frequency

information of the site.

III. Procedure

For example, to add No.1 and No. 7 TRX to Site0-1 and Site0-2 under Site0 in BM1.

The BIE port corresponding to Site0 is in the timeslot manual adjustment mode.

1) Select the [BTS/Add TRX], the [Add TRX] interface will pop up. Select “Site0” in

This section is an introduction to online add and delete cells and modify cell

properties.

4.1 Add Cell

I. Function

This function is used to online add one or more cells. Generally one cell will be added

at each time.

Caution:

1) In the case of chain and tree networking, if the new cell fails to operate normally, it is recommended

that BTSs on the link where this site located be reset successively from the one at the uppermost level.

In addition, BIE can also be reset. Check the correctness of the data configuration.

2) After successfully adding a cell, the Startup Traffic Statistics Re-register should be performed. (BTS\Startup Traffic Stat. Re-register)

II. Preparation

1) TRX also will be added during the process of the "Add Cell" operation. Each

dynamic configuration only can add a cell and its TRX to one site under one BIE port.

If the TRXs of the new cell are distributed in multiple BIE ports, select the [BTS/Add

TRX] to add TRX after the 4.1 Add Cell operation.

2) If adding a TRX during adding a cell changes the port cascade relationship of a site,

be sure to modify Internal Site Port Cascade Relationship. For more details, refer to

Add a site or Add TRX in Chapter 3.

3) If the new cell has adjacent relationship with others, please Select the [Cell/Modify

Cell’s Handover Parameter] to configure the adjacent relationship between two cells

after adding the cell.

4.2 Delete Cell

I. Function

This function is used to online delete a cell. Only one cell should be deleted at a time.

Caution:

1) In the case of chain and tree networking, if the site whose cell has been deleted fails to operate

normally, it is recommended that BTSs on the link where this site can be located be reset successively

from the one at the uppermost level. In addition, BIE can also be reset. Check the correctness of the

data configuration.

2) After successfully adding a cell, the Startup Traffic Statistics Re-register should be performed. (BTS\

Startup Traffic Stat. Re-register)

II. Preparation

1) Before this cell deletion, block operation should be executed through Site

Maintenance System for the specific cells. This avoids remaining conversation during

deleting cell.

2) When the cell is deleted, all the TRXs of it will also be deleted. It is not allowed to

delete the cell which is the only one of a site, while to select the [BTS/Delete a Site] to

delete it, please refer to Delete a Site in Chapter 3.

3) If the BIE port of the site in which the cell to be deleted is in the Manual Mode of

timeslot adjustment, be sure to manually adjust the timeslot. For more details, refer to

Add a Site or Add TRX in Chapter 3.

III. Procedure

For example, delete the cell "Site 0-1" in Site0 in BM1. The BIE port of Site0 is not in

Manual Mode of timeslot adjustment.

1) Select the [Cell/Delete Cell], the [Delete Cell] interface will pop up. Select the cell

to be deleted in it as shown in Figure 4-9.

4.3 Modify BCC and NCC

I. Function

This function is used to online modify NCC (network color code) and BCC (BTS color

code). NCCs and BCCs of multiple cells can be modified at a time. The number of all

selected cells cannot be more than 10.

Caution:

This function has an effect on the calls established within this cell.

II. Preparation

Block operation for the entire cell should be performed through the Site Maintenance

System.





4-11

III. Procedure

1) Select the [Cell/Modify BCC and NCC], the [Modify BCC and NCC] interface will

pop up. Select the cells to be modified in it as shown in Figure 4-12.


Caution:

In view of the load of GMPU, commands generated by dynamic operation are restricted. The commands

set to GMPU at a time cannot be more than 255 per BM module. The commands generated by dynamic

operation are the total of the ones generated by current operation and related ones, e.g., the command

generated by the current operation of modifying BCC and NCC is "Modify BCC and NCC", the related

command is "Modify Cell's Handover Parameter".

The reason is the same as described above that the commands generated by dynamic operation cannot

be more than 255 in the following operations. So the number if cells to be dynamic configured is almost

unlimited except “Modify NCC and BCC”, “Modify Cell’s Channel Management Parameter”, “Modify

Cell’s Install Status” and “Modify GPRS Function”. These dynamic configurations can only operate 10

cells at most once because of the limitation of GMPU.

Appendix B Fundamental Knowledge

B.1 BSC Data

BSC data refers to the data related the rack, frame, board and resource allocation,

etc. It is used to describe the physical feature of BSC.

BSC is made up of hardware system and software system. Before they are put into

operation, they are independent of each other. For BSC to work normally, the

software system must exercise effective control over the hardware.

Software system masters the hardware configuration and the running character of

each hardware unit through BSC data configuration. Hardware system run normally

and supplies all kinds of call services with the controlling of software system.

B.1.1 Configuration Principles and Flow

BSC data configuration should follow the principle "from global to local". That means,

data configuration starts from configuration for the whole system, and then becomes

more specific gradually until it finally resorts to the configuration for each board.

The BSC data configuration consists of two large parts: AM/CM data configuration

and BM data configuration. Each of them follows the configuration sequence of

module→rack→frame→board→system resources, as shown in Figure B-1.

Module Data

Frame Data

Board Data

System Resources Data

Figure B-1 BSC data configuration flow




B-2

I. Module data configuration

Module data configuration refers to the data description of all the modules of BSC,

including module type, working status, inter-module communication and BAM

communication of AM/CM and every BM.

II. Frame and board data configuration

Frame and board data configuration involves such information as the type, location

and numbering of each hardware unit in the system.

III. System resource allocation

System resource allocation refers to the allocation of system internal resources,

including main control resources (GNOD), network resources (HW) and inter-module

communication resources (optical path and link), etc.

The software system of BSC adopts a fully-distributed control method, i.e., almost

every board carries relevant software to control its own hardware. But as a whole,

both hardware and software are coordinated and controlled by the central software.

To achieve this, the communications between the central software and distributed

software and that between distributed software are required. System resources are

used to meet the requirement of this internal communication.

Besides, there are also some public data to be configured, mainly the public

parameters used by some internal software as well as some parameters required for

hardware working under specific environment.

B.1.2 Numbering Principle

Each hardware unit is given a serial number for easy identification by the software

system. Together with other information, this serial number is sent to the software

system to effectively control the hardware system.

Serial numbers can also help maintenance engineers to perform routine maintenance

and locate the fault quickly and easily.

The hardware unit numbering includes the numbering of modules, racks, frames,

slots and boards. The principles of numbering are described as follows:

I. Numbering of modules

Modules are numbered sequentially in the whole BSC. In other words, the number of

a module in a BSC must be unique and there should be no other module that has the

same module number with it in the whole BSC system. Module number is the number

of modules (AM/CM and BM) configured in the system.




B-3

AM/CM is fixedly numbered as Module0 and the numbering of BMs begins from 1 to 8,

as one AM/CM can have maximum of 8 BMs, Single-module BSC contains only one

BM, so the module number of BM is fixed as 1. See Figure B-2.

AM/CM

BM1 BM2 BM8

0

1 2 8

Figure B-2 Module numbering in the multi -module BSC

II. Numbering of racks

The same as the numbering of modules, racks are also numbered sequentially in the

whole BSC system.

For a multi-module BSC, the rack where the AM/CM is located is fixedly numbered as

Rack 0 and the racks of BMs are numbered sequentially from 1. In single-module

BSC, the rack of the BM is numbered as 1.

III. Numbering of frames

Frames are sequentially numbered within its module, i.e., frame number cannot be

repeated in a module, but the same frame number can exist in other modules.

Frames are fixedly numbered from 0 with the numbering sequence from bottom to top

and near to far. The frames are numbered from near to far means all the frames are

numbered in sequence from near to far according to the distance between the racks

where a frame is located and the main control rack in a muti-rack module.

In the BSC, each rack is made up of 6 standard frames. The frames are numbered in

sequence from bottom to top as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, as shown in Figure B-3.

Figure B-3 Diagram of frame numbering

IV. Numbering of slots

There are 26 slots in each frame, numbered in sequence from left to right as 0~25.

Usually a board occupies only one slot while some boards occupy two slots, e.g.

GMPU and GMEM. The boards occupying two slots are normally configured in

even-numbered slots.

V. Numbering of boards

Board numbering is very important. It not only determines whether the board can

work normally, but also impacts the numbering of SS7 and LAPD links as well as

trunk circuits.

The numbering of the boards follows the following principles:

z The number of the board begins with 0.

z Boards are numbered sequentially in one module, i.e., in the same module,

boards of the same type should not take the same number. For example, there

should be only one Number 1 GMPU in a module.

z The boards of the same type are numbered sequentially in one module. For

example, if there are 6 BIEs in a BM, then their board numbers should be in the

sequence of 0 to 5 from left to right.z The boards whose slots are compatible to each other are numbered sequentially.

For example, in BM, the slots of GMEM, LPN7 and GLAP are compatible, so

they are regarded as of the same type and are numbered sequentially.

z In the frames such as the main control frame, interface frame and clock frame,

the board number has a fixed correspondence with the slot number. Assume all

the slots are inserted with corresponding boards, i.e., under the full configuration

of the frame, number these boards in the way described above. You can get a

board number for each board in each slot. The board number for a certain board

in a certain slot is then fixed. This numbering way is applicable to GLAP, LPN7

and GMEM.




B-5

z In BM, FTC and BIE are numbered sequentially and the MSM board is numbered

separately.

z The GALM in AM/CM is numbered permanently as 0 and the GALM in BM is

numbered permanently as 1.

FTCs are numbered according to the configuration status of BIEs and the following

principles.

FTC number = Number of HWs occupied by BIE.

For example, configure 2 BIE active/standby groups, each group occupies 8 HWs and

each FTC occupies 1 HW. In this case, the starting number of the FTC board = (8 %

2)/1 = 16 and the subsequent FTC can be numbered sequentially from 16.

The MSMs are numbered from 0 sequentially in BM.

Note:

For the number of occupied HWs, see II. Network Resource Allocation.




B-9

II. Network Resource Allocation

The BSC system resources mainly include network resources and control resources.

Network resources are HW resources provided by the switching network board(GNET), including 128 HWs, each of which provides 32 timeslots.

The boards that occupy network resources are BIE equipment, signaling processing

board and inter-module circuit.

Each active/standby BIE group is allocated with 4 or 8 HWs depending on its

networking mode. And the number of HWs occupied by a group depends on the

Of 128 HWs, 64 HWs are allocated permanently for system internal usage. The

signaling processing units LPN7, GLAP and GMEM occupy Number 53 to 62 HWs,as shown in Figure B-10. The numbers of HWs occupied by other boards are

determined by the slots where they are located.

Several HWs constitute a HW group. For instance, the 8 HWs allocated to a BIE

active/standby group constitute a HW group. HW group numbers are presented in the

[Slot Description Table]. The corresponding relationship between HW group

numbers and HW numbers is given in the [HW Description Table].

III. Control Resource Allocation

Control resources refer to GNOD that is used by GMPU to control circuit boards such

as BIE. In BM, BIE communicates with GMPU via GNOD.




B-10

The master node (NOD) is provided by GNOD. At most 11 GNODs can be configured

in a BM module. Each GNOD can provide 4 master nodes, i.e., each BM can provide

a maximum of 44 master nodes for communication with boards such as BIE, to

control their operations.

In BSC system, although the communication of GMEM, LPN7 and GLAP with GMPU

is achieved by means of memory switching, BSC takes each memory switching area

as a virtual master node. The virtual master nodes occupy node numbers ranging

from 44 to 53. For the distribution of master nodes, see Figure B-11.

Figure B-11 Node resources distribution

One active/standby group of BIE shares one master node, whose number is

determined by physical cable distribution.

The maintenance of FTC and MSC is done through a timeslot in E1, so there is no

need to allocate nodes to them.

1) Master node description

For the frame length of read/write mailbox and the length of commands sent and

reported, it is advisable to refer to the fixed configuration as shown in Table B-1.

Table B-1 Description of master node

Board Type Frame Length of Read/Write Mailbox Length of Commands Reported or Sent

BIE 10 9

GLAP and LPN7 80 64

2) Slave node number

GMPU visits the equipment via the master node on GNOD. So the equipment visited

by GMPU can also be called as slave node. Communication between the master

nodes and slave nodes is implemented via serial ports. While the master nodes

communicates with the GMPU via the mailbox, for the master nodes collect

voluminous information of all its slave nodes. Each master node consists of several




B-11

slave nodes and each slave node is allocated with a serial number called slave node

number. The slave node number of LPN7 and GLAP is 0 and the slave node number

of BIE is the same as its board number. The number of the slave nodes in TCSM unit

is illustrated in Figure B-12.

Figure B-14 The working principle of the clock system in single-module BSC

For the multi-module BSC, what connects the MSC is E3M located at the AM/CM

transmission interface frame. E3M extracts the 8kHz clock information from the

superior MSC transmission line, and transmits it to the 8K-in port on the motherboard

of the clock frame through the clock cables on the motherboard (C821CKB).

C821CKB also provides 2Mbit/s and 2MHz input ports used to connect the GPS and

BITS. The BSC usually extracts the 8kHz signal from the signals of the superior MSC,

and it seldom extracts clock information of higher precision directly from the GPS and

BITS.

The clock frame is composed of GCKS and PWC. GCKS extracts the 8kHz signal

(differential signal) from the trunk or 2Mbit/s and 2MHz signals from other equipment

(like the BITS) as its reference clock source.

Each reference clock source has two optional signals. The major function of GCKS is

to capture and trace the reference clock source so that the clock signals output from

GCKS have the same frequency and phase features as the reference clock source.

GCKS provides the clock signals for the BSC, and 2 8kHz and 2 standard 2Mbit/s and

2MHz reference sources, which can also meet the requirement of the stratum-2 A and

stratum-3 clocks.

The clock frame is equipped on AM/CM in a multi-module BSC system, and the BM

obtains the clock synchronization information provided by the clock frame on the

AM/CM through the inter-module optical paths.

B.3 Trunk and Signaling on the A-interface

A-interface is the communication interface between NSS and BSS, that is, the

interconnecting interface between MSC and BSC. Its physical link, which is based on

standard 2.048Mbit/s PCM digital transmission, transmits information concerning




B-13

mobile station management, BTS management, mobility management and

connection management.

There are two kinds of trunk circuits on the A-interface:

z A-interface traffic link (voice)

z A-interface signaling link (SS7 link)

As the service information at the NSS side and BSS side is processed at different

rates, code conversion and rate adaptation (TRAU, abbreviated as FTC) are required

to convert the 16kbit/s service signals at the BSS side into 64kbit/s signals at the NSS

side when voice and data services are transmitted between NSS and BSS. Normally

FTC is placed at MSC side to achieve multiplexing of the 16kbit/s signals between

NSS and BSS so that the number of E1s on the A-interface can be reduced. E3M and

MSM are respectively used for BSC and MSC to complete multiplexing and

de-multiplexing function. For the signal flow, see Figure B-15.

A TCSM unit contains 1 MSM and 4 FTCs.

In a multi-module BSC, AM/CM manages E3M, through which the BM manages

TCSM unit. One E3M can be connected to 4 TCSM units at most. The transparent

transmission BIE accomplishes the transparent transmission of signaling on

A-interface.

Each E3M provides 5 E1 ports, the first 4 of which can interconnect with 4 TCSM

units and the fifth of which is connected to the transparent transmission BIE to

accomplish the transparent transmission of SS7 (the processing of SS7 is performed

in the BM). One TCSM unit can convert the 64kbit/s signals from the MSC side after

FTC code conversion, and then multiplex the 4 E1s to 1 E1 via MSM for transmission.

As shown in the Figure B-15, the interface between E3M and TCSM is called as Asub

Interface and that between the TCSM unit and MSC is called as A-interface.

If the No. 16 timeslot is used to transfer signaling at E1, the timeslot allocation at

Asub interface and A-interface see respectively in Table B-2, Table B-3.

Note:

The A-interface data configuration described in this chapter includes the data configuration of both Asub

and A-interface.

B.4 BTS Networking

BSC and BTS are connected through the Base station Interface Equipment (BIE).

BIE accomplishes functions of multiplexing/de-multiplexing, level conversion from HW

to E1 and extraction of synchronization clocks, etc.

BTS networking modes include star networking, chain networking and tree

networking.

B.4.1 Principle of Numbering

I. Numbering of sites

The sites in a BM are numbered sequentially from 0 to 63.




B-15

II. Numbering of TRXs

The TRXs in a site are numbered sequentially from 0 to 35. Its slot determines the

number of TRXs.

III. Numbering of channels

The physical channels of a TRX are numbered sequentially from 0 to 7.

IV. Numbering of trunk groups

Trunk group is the set of a cluster of connatural trunk circuits. The trunks connected

to BIE constitute one group and those connected to FTC constitute another group.

The trunk groups in an office are numbered sequentially. For example, the circuits

from BSC to MSC via FTC are grouped as group 0, while the trunk circuits from BSC

to BTS and to transparent transmission BIE are grouped as group 1.

Note:

Though the trunk circuits at Abis interface are connected to different BTSs, they are still regarded

belonging to the same trunk group.

V. Numbering of trunk circuits

Trunk circuits refer to all HW timeslots allocated by GNET, and are numbered

sequentially in a BM. Timeslot number on BS1 Interface refer to all HW timeslots

allocated to a BIE group, are numbered sequentially.

The calculation formula is given as follows:

The initial trunk circuit number of the BIE active/standby group = Number the

active/standby group% 256 (8 HWs, each of which provides 32 time slots)

For example, the trunk circuit Number of active/standby group 0 is 0~255, that of

active/standby group 1 is 256 ~ 511, and that of active/standby group 2 is 512~767

etc.

Note:

Active/standby group 7 and 8 respectively occupies 4 HWs, so they should be numbered as exceptions.

Figure B-16 BIE in GSM system

Each BIE can provide 6 E1 ports at the maximum and at BTS side each TMU can

provide at most 4 E1 ports (If it is BTS20, at most 4 E1 ports can be provided by BIE

or BSMU).

1) BTS312 can be configured with 3 cabinet groups at the maximum, among which,

z 1 main cabinet group. In this main cabinet group, 1 master cabinet (including 2

TMUs) and 1 slave cabinet (no TMU) are configured.

z 2 extension cabinet group. In each extension cabinet group, 1 master cabinet

(including 1 TMU) and 1 slave cabinet (no TMU) are configured.

2) BTS30 can be configured with 3 cabinet groups at the maximum, among which,

z 1 main cabinet group. In this main cabinet group, 1 master cabinet (including 2

TMUs) and 2 slave cabinet (no TMU) are configured.

z 2 extension cabinet group. In each extension cabinet group, 1 master cabinet

(including 1 TMU) and 2 slave cabinet (no TMU) are configured.

In BM, the voice and signaling information from GNET are sent to BIE through BS

interface (HW). After multiplexing, they are sent to corresponding BTS via Abis

interface (E1). Information from BTS are sent to GNET after de-multiplexing. SeeFigure B-17. Each BIE group can support 8 HWs at the maximum, among which 4

HWs form one group. The trunk circuits are numbered continuously and sequentially

from 0 to 127.

8 HWs correspond to 4 E1 ports, among which, HW0 ~HW3 are multiplexed to

port0~port1 and HW4~HW7 are multiplexed to port2~port3. Signaling timeslots are

distributed in trunk circuits 96 ~ 127 (224~255), and then they are switched to the

timeslots 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 31 of the two E1s. See Table B-5 for timeslotsswitching relationship.

port can only be allocated with 10 idle timeslots at most, i.e., the TS 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11,

13, 14, 16 and 17 of each port are idle TS.

The timeslot allocation of the 4 E1 ports at Abis interface is the same, as shown in

Each BIE occupies only 4 HWs, HW0 ~ HW3, which are multiplexed to port0~port5.

Figure B-21 Chain networking

For chain networking or star networking with the number of TRXs for each BTS is

more than 6, data are configured the same as that for chain networking. Four

scenarios are described for the data configuration of chain networking.

1) If 10:1 mode is adopted, when the total number of TRXs on the chain is no more

than 10 (called as single chain), one E1 can be led out respectively from port0

and port2 of the BIE, then connected respectively to the TMUs of BTS. Thus, two

single chains can be formed. See Figure B-22.

2) If 10:1 mode is adopted, when the total number of TRXs on the chain is greater

than 10 (called as dual chain), the number of TRXs in all levels of BTSs is so

great that one E1 cannot bear all of them in chain connection. In this scenario,

one E1 can be led out from port0 and port2 of the BIE, and then connected to

the port0 and port1 on the TMU of the first level of BTS. Thus, a dual chain can

be formed to meet the capacity requirement. See Figure B-23.

3) If 12:1 mode is adopted, when the total number of TRXs on the chain is no

greater than 12, single chain connection is adopted. But when the total number

of TRXs on the chain is greater than 12, dual chain connection is adopted.

4) If 15:1 mode is adopted, when the total number of TRXs on the chain is no

greater than 15, single chain connection is adopted. But when the total number of TRXs on the chain is greater than 15, dual chain connection is adopted.

I. 2E1port* 64K LPAD/port trunk mode

2E1port* full rate 64K LPAD/port trunk mode is shortened as 10:1 chain configuration.

Under this networking mode, the capacity of each E1 port is 10 TRXs and the rate of

LAPD is 64kbit/s. It supports chain connection and multi-chain networking. The port0

and port 2 of each BIE is valid for traffic, corresponding to 8 HWs. Among the 8 HWs,

HW0~HW3 are multiplexed to port0 and HW4~HW7 to port2.

Signaling timeslots are distributed in the trunk circuits 96 ~ 127 (224 ~ 255), which

are switched to the 11 signaling timeslots TS3, TS6 … and TS31 of the 2 E1s. The

timeslot switching relationship is illustrated in Table B-11.

The configuration of idle timeslots is described as follows.

z When there is no cascading, idle TSs are allocated according to TS sequence.

For timeslot allocation is fixed, each port can only be allocated with 18 idle

timeslots at most, i.e., the TS 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23, 25,

26, 28 and 29 are idle TS.

z When there is cascading, the timeslot allocation of the first level of sites follows

the allocation principle under the case when there is no cascading. From the

second level of sites, the idle TSs allocation after being switched must follow the

allocation principle of the first level of sites.

When 2-port 64kbit/s LAPD rate is taken for site cascading, the number of TRXs

supported is reduced by 1 as the number of sites cascaded increases by 1, because

the signaling timeslots of different sites cannot be multiplexed. The timeslots

distribution at Abis interface is shown in Table B-12.

Data configuration principle under 10:1 mode is described as follows.

z The OML of each level of sites must be allocated to the 31st

TS of the incoming

E1 in its local site (achieved by the TS switching of the superior sites). The TEI of

the OML must be configured as the minimum value among all the TEI of the

signaling link in the same TS with the rate 64kbit/s. It is recommended that the

TEI be configured as 0.

z The sub-TS number is configured as 255 in Signaling Channel Connection

Table.

z The signaling TSs of different sites (including OML and RSL) cannot be allocated

to the same TS.

z Only the TCHs of the same sites can be configured to the same 64kbit/s TS.

z For dual-chain networking, the traffic TS and signaling TS of the same TRX must

be allocated to the same port, and they cannot be allocated to two different port.

z For BTS30 and BTS312, though many combined cabinet groups belong to the

same site (require only one OML), the RSL TSs and TCH TSs of different

cabinet groups cannot be multiplexed, i.e., the RSL TSs and TCH TSs of

different cabinet groups are taken on as TSs of different sites.

II. 2 E1 port * 32K LPAD Multiplex Mode/port

2E1 port * half rate 64K LPAD/port is shortened as 12:1 chain configuration. Under

this networking mode, the capacity of each E1 port is 12 TRX and the LAPD rate is

32kbit/s. It supports chain connection and multi-chain networking. The port 0 and port

2 of each BIE are valid for service, corresponding to 8 HWs, among which,

HW0~HW3 are multiplexed to port0 and HW4~HW7 are multiplexed to port2.




B-27

The two adjacent RSLs of the same site share one TS on the E1. But two RSLs of

different sites cannot share TS, for the cabinet groups combined are taken on as

different sites.

Signaling timeslots are distributed in the trunk circuits 96~127 (224~255), which are

switched to the 7 signaling timeslots TS3, TS8, TS13 … and TS31 of the 2 E1s. The

timeslot switching relationship is illustrated in Table B-14.

23 104 232

28 106 23431 127 255



For timeslot allocation is fixed, each port can only be allocated with up to 22 idle

timeslots, i.e. the TSs 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24,

25, 26, 27, 29 and 30 are idle TSs.





When 2-port 32kbit/s LAPD rate is taken for site cascading, the number of TRXs

supported is reduced by 2 as the number of sites cascaded increases by 1, because

the signaling timeslots of different sites cannot be multiplexed. The timeslot

distribution at Abis interface is shown in Table B-15.

TS of the incoming


the OML must be configured as the minimum value among all the TEI of the

signaling link in the same TS with rate 64kbit/s. It is recommended that the TEIbe configured as 0.

z The sub-TS number is configured as 32 or 33 in Signaling Channel Connection

Table according to actual practice.

For BTS30 and BTS312, though many combined cabinet groups belong to the

same site (require only one OML), the RSL TSs and TCH TSs of different

cabinet groups cannot be multiplexed, i.e., the RSL TSs and TCH TSs of

different cabinet groups are taken on as TSs of different sites.

z For BTS20 under 12:1 mode, the RSL of TRX0 can only be multiplexed with the

RSL of TRX1 to the same 64kbit/s TS, and the RSL of TRX2 can only bemultiplexed with the RSL of TRX3 to the same 64kbit/s TS and so on. The same

principle is applicable to the RSL of other TRXs.

z Only the TCHs of the same site can be configured to the same 64kbit/s TS.


be allocated to the same port, and they cannot be allocated to two different ports.

For BTS30 and BTS312, the RSL TSs and TCH TSs of different cabinet groups

cannot be multiplexed, for the cabinet groups combined are taken on as different sites,

though they actually belong to the same site (they require only one OML).

III. 6 E1 Ports (Supporting 16K)

In the original networking mode, RSL and OML occupy 8 bits of each byte in the

64kbit/s E1 timeslot. In the 16K networking mode, the same as TCH, the RSL and

OML only occupy 2 bits of each byte, i.e. 16kbit/s transmission bandwidth resources.

The 16K networking saves E1 transmission (timeslot) resources on the Abis interface,

especially, the transmission cost when there are not much TRXs in the BTS. When




B-30

satellite transmission is adopted on the Abis interface, the expensive fee for the

leased satellite circuit can be saved.

For a group of BIE boards, 6 E1 ports are available, and 4 HWs are allocated

accordingly. The distribution of the timeslots corresponding to HW0~HW3 on the BS

interface is shown in Table B-17.

HW0 HW1 HW2 HW3

In the 4-E1 port * 16K signaling link networking mode, a BIE board occupies 4 HWs

(HW0~HW3). The timeslots of HW0~HW2 are respectively switched to TS1 and TS2,

and TS4 and TS5 of E1(0) ~ E1(5). This is the same as the original 6*E1 port star

networking mode.

Timeslot combination of HW3: The latter 24 16K timeslots are combined into 6 64K

timeslots, which can be understood as the OML timeslots in the original star

networking mode. Actually the 24 16K timeslots can be used for TCH. The 6

combined timeslots are respectively allocated to E1(0) ~ E1(5) of TS31.

HW4 HW5 HW6 HW7

In the 6-E1 port 16K networking mode, E1 (0) and E1 (1) correspond to HW0~HW3,

and timeslots 3, 6 and 31 of each E1 come from the combined timeslot of HW4. E1(2)

and E1(3) correspond to HW4~HW7, and the timeslot allocation principle is the same

as that on E1(0) and E1(1), and will no longer be described below.




B-34

The mapping relation from HW to the timeslot of E1 in 16K networking mode is similar

to that in the original 64K star networking mode in some aspects.

The timeslots of HW0~HW2 are respectively switched to TS1 & TS2, TS4 & TS5, TS7

& TS8, TS10 & TS11, TS13 & TS14, and TS16 & TS17 of E1(0) and E1(1). This is

completely the same as that in the original star networking mode.

Timeslot combination of HW3: The latter 24 16K timeslots are combined into 6 64K

timeslots, which can be understood as the RSL and OML timeslots in the original star

networking mode. Actually the 24 16K timeslots can be used for TCH. The former two

combined timeslots are switched to TS3 and TS6 of E1(0); the third and fourth

combined ones are switched to TS3 and TS6 of E1(1); the last two combined ones

are switched to TS31 of E1(0) and E1(1).

Table B-21 illustrates the distribution of the timeslots on the 4 E1 ports of the Abisinterface.

V. 2E1 port * multiplex/port

2E1 port * 15:1 multiplexing /port is shortened as 15:1 chain configuration. Under this

networking mode, the capacity of each E1 port is 15 TRX. It supports chain

connection and multi-chain networking. The port0 and port2 of each BIE are valid for

service, corresponding to 8 HWs, among which, HW0~HW3 are multiplexed to port0

and HW4~HW7 are multiplexed to port2.

The rate of LAPD is 64kbit/s, shared by 4 signaling links, The TCH traffic TS at Abis

interface is not occupied by SDCCH and BCCH alone.

Note:

When the BIE supporting 15:1 configuration replaces the BIE not supporting 15:1 configuration, the data

configuration under 12:1 and 10:1 mode are different.

When BTS20 adopts 15:1 data configuration, BSMU should be used.



For timeslot allocation is fixed, each port can only be allocated with 25 idle

timeslots at most, i.e. the TS3~TS27 of each port are idle TSs.








B-36

At Abis interface, there are 108 sub-TSs from TS1 to TS27 for the service channel of

15 TRXs. There are 16 signaling links for TS28 to TS31. Among the 16 signaling links,

4 share one 64kbit/s TS.

When 2-port 64kbit/s LAPD statistics multiplexing is taken for site cascading, the

number of TRXs supported is reduced by 1 as the number of sites cascaded is

the OML must be configured as the minimum value among all the TEIs of the

signaling link in the same TS with rate 64kbit/s. It is recommended that the TEI

be configured as 0.

z Different from TCH, BCCH and SDCCH do not occupy traffic TS and their CICs

and TS numbers are 65535 and their sub-TS Numbers are 255.

z The sub-TS number is configured as 0, 1, 2 or 3 in the Signaling ChannelConnection Table according to actual situations.

z To configure signaling links, configure the TSs are loading sharing according to

the traffic on each link so that the RSL link of the TRX containing SDCCH can be

distributed to different TSs.

z For BTS20, in the first level of sites, all the signaling TSs must be allocated to

the last four TSs TS28-TS31 of the last level of E1. But the signaling TSs of the

subsequent level of sites can be allocated to the TS16-TS31 of its superior E1

according to actual demand. By this principle, the superior level of sites should

forward all the signaling TSs of its subsequent level of sites to the last four TSs

of the cascaded E1.

z For BTS30, the signaling TSs of the first level of sites can be allocated to

TS31~TS16 of E1 in sequence. If there is cascading, the OML of the lower level

of sites must be allocated to 31st

z Only the TCHs of the same sites can be configured to the same 64kbit/s TS.

z Though many combined cabinet groups belong to the same site (they require

only one OML), the RSL TSs and TCH TSs of different cabinet groups cannot be

multiplexed, i.e., the RSL TSs and TCH TSs of different cabinet groups are taken

on as TSs of different sites.

VI. Sim 12:1 and Sim 10:1 data configuration

Data configuration of the BIE supporting 15:1 cannot directly take the 12:1 and 10:1

data configuration of the BIE not supporting 15:1.

For BTS20, if the interface board is not BSMU and the BSC uses the BIE that

supports 15:1, data configuration for simulating 12:1 and 10:1 can be taken for

equipment compatibility.

Figure B-24 Tree networking

Tree connection means more than 2 lower level of sites are connected to a upper

level of site. It is an extension of chain networking.

Another form of tree connection is star cascading, i.e., star connection + chain

connection.

There are two trunk modes of BIE supporting star cascading, 6E1port * 2TRX/port

(support link) and 4E1port * 6TRX/port (support link).

B.4.6 Half Rate Networking

I. Overview

Different from star, chain and tree networking modes, half rate networking is more

actually a kind of data configuration principle. It belongs to the same concept with

6-E1 port * 2TRX/port networking (supporting link) and 4-E1 port * 6TRX/port

(supporting link) networking mentioned above. Therefore, the half rate networking is

called half rate mode hereinafter.

In the half rate mode, 34BIE must be used. This kind of BIE adopts discretionary

switching mode. Therefore, the 256 HW timeslots on the BS interface can be

allocated to the voice channels or signaling channels at discretion, provided the

number of timeslots is equal to or smaller than 256. Each voice channel needs to be

allocated with 2 HW timeslots. Similarly, among the 32 E1 timeslots on the Abis

interface, except that TS0 is used for synchronization and that TS31 must be

allocated to OML, the remaining 30 timeslots can be allocated to voice channels or

signaling channels at discretion provided that the total number of timeslots is not

more than 30. The rate of LAPD is 64kbit/s, and statistics multiplexing mode is

adopted for site cascading. Every 2 signaling links can be multiplexed to one LAPD

link (different from 15:1 data configuration mode). SDCCH and BCCH do not occupy

the timeslots on the Abis interface.

In the half rate mode, the 6 E1 ports of each group of BIEs are valid. The number of

TRXs supported by each E1 port can be configured at discretion, provided it is not




B-41

more than 13, and that the total number of TRXs configured to all the 6 E1 ports is not

more than 18. The half rate mode supports such as star, chain, tree networking

modes, etc. When site cascading is adopted, as the signaling timeslots of different

sites cannot multiplexed, once a site increases, the number of TRXs supported byeach E1 port will decrease.

II. Principle for configuration of idle timeslots


z When there is no cascading, idle timeslots are allocated according to timeslot

sequence. For timeslot allocation is fixed, each port can only be allocated with up

to 28 timeslots as idle timeslots. That is, timeslots 3~30 of each port can be

allocated as idle timeslots.

z When there is cascading, the timeslot allocation of the first level of sites followsthe allocation principle under the case when there is no cascading. From the

second level of sites, the allocation of the idle timeslots after being switched

must follow the allocation principle of the first level of sites.

III. Data configuration principle


TS of the incoming


the OML must be configured as the minimum value among all the TEIs of the

signaling link in the same TS with rate of 64kbit/s. It is recommended that the TEI

be configured as 0.

z The multiplexing ratio of OML and that of RSL are 2:1.

z Separated from TCH, BCCH and SDCCH do not occupy voice timeslots and

their CICs and TS numbers are 65535 and their sub-TS numbers are 255.

z The sub-TS number is configured as 0 or 1 in the Signaling Channel Connection

Table according to actual situations.

z The signaling TSs (including TSs of OML and RSL) and traffic TSs (of TCH) of

different sites cannot be allocated to the same TS. In case of cabinet group

combination, though multiple combined cabinet groups belong to the same site

(only one OML required), the RSL TSs and TCH TSs of different cabinet groupscannot be multiplexed, i.e., the RSL TSs and TCH TSs of different cabinet

groups are taken on as TSs of different sites.



z The 256 HW timeslots (trunk circuits) of the BS1 interface are numbered

sequentially. The TCH timeslots are allocated sequentially from 0 to 255, while

the OML and RSL timeslots are allocated sequentially from 255 to 0.

z To support dynamic adjustment to channel rate, two HW timeslots are allocated

to each TCH in the Radio Channel Configuration Table. When the TCH type is

configured as full rate, the full-rate TCH occupies one timeslot, and the other one




B-42

is idle in normal cases. When the channel rate is adjusted, i.e. one full-rate TCH

is adjusted into two half-rate TCHs, each of the two half-rate TCHs occupies a

timeslot. When the TCH type is set as half rate, there are actually two half-rate

TCHs, and each occupies a HW timeslot.

IV. Example

BIE is configured with data based on half rate mode. Its port 0 is connected with a

BTS configured with two TRXs. Channel 0 of TRX 0 is "Primary BCCH", and channel

1 is "SDCCH8". Other channels of TRX 0 and all the channels of TRX 1 are

configured to be "Full rate TCH". The networking topology of BTS is illustrated below:

B.4.7 Ring Networking

I. Overview

Ring networking provides a site cascading mode different from star, chain and tree

networking modes, but it supports star, chain and tree networking, as shown in

Figure B-26.




B-44

Figure B-26 Ring networking modes

In ring networking mode, the 6 E1 ports provided by each group of BIEs are all valid,

the number of TRXs supported by each E1 port should not exceed 15, and the total

number of TRXs configured to all the 6 ports should not be larger than 30. When

there is more than one site in the ring networking mode, as the signaling timeslots of

different sites cannot be multiplexed, once a site increases, the number of TRXs

supported by each E1 port will decrease.

Parallel transparent transmission is adopted when multiple BTSs are cascaded in ring

networking mode.

During the configuration of ring networking, any two of the 6 E1 ports provided by

each group of BIEs can form a ring.

In ring networking mode, sites are classified into loop site and tributary site. As for a

loop site, only port 0 can serve as the incoming port, and port 1 as the outgoing port.

As for a tributary site, port 0 must serve as the incoming port, while any of the other

ports besides port 1 can serve as the outgoing port.

As shown in Figure B-26, sites 0, 1 and 2 in a are linked into a ring, and they are all

loop sites; sites 3 and 4 are linked into a chain. Sites 0, 1 and 2 in b are linked into a

ring, and they are all loop sites; sites 3 and 4 form a dual-chain connection together

with the ring, and the three are taken on as tributary sites. The networking of c is

similar to that of b, except that the normal ring and reverse ring are connected to the

ports provided by BIEs of different groups. Sites 0, 1, 2 and 3 in d are linked into a

ring, in which sites 0, 1 and 2 are loop sites, and site 3 is a tributary site.




B-45

The configuration of idle timeslots is not supported in the full-rate ring networking

mode for the moment.

Ring networking includes full-rate ring networking and half-rate networking. Their

differences are listed below:

z The multiplexing ratio of RSL signaling in full-rate ring networking mode is 4:1,

while that in half-rate ring networking mode is 2:1.

z Some HW slots should be reserved in half-rate ring networking mode.

II. Brief introduction to 34BIE

Caution:

34BIE must be used in ring networking mode.

The features of 34BIE are described as follows:

z Discretionary switching of timeslots is adopted. As a result, the 256 HW timeslots

of the BS interface can be allocated to voice channels or signaling channels at

discretion, provided that the total number of timeslots is not more than 256.

z Similarly, among the 32 E1 timeslots of the Abis interface, except that timeslot 0

is used for synchronization, and that timeslot 31 must be allocated to the OML,

the other 30 timeslots can be allocated to voice channels or signaling channels

at discretion, provided that the total number of timeslots is not more than 30.

z The rate of LAPD is 64kbit/s, and statistics multiplexing mode is adopted. Every

4 signaling links can be multiplexed to one LAPD link. Please note that only

RSLs can be multiplexed to each other, and that RSL cannot be multiplexed to

OML.

z SDCCH and BCCH do not occupy timeslots of the Abis interface.

III. Full rate ring networking

Principle for data configuration in full-rate ring networking mode:

z Normal ring OML and reverse ring OML should be configured to each site on the

ring (including tributary site). The normal ring OML is allocated to TS31 of the

normal ring E1 port (achieved by TS switching of the superior sites). The reverse

ring OML is allocated to TS31 of the reverse ring E1 port (when two BIE ports

are linked into a ring, the port connected with port 0 of the site is regarded as the

normal ring port, and the other port as the reverse ring port).The TEI of the

normal ring OML and that of the reverse ring OML must be configured as the

minimum values among all the TEIs of the signaling link in the same TS with rate

of 64kbit/s. It is recommended that the TEIs be configured as 0




B-46

z OML and RSL cannot be multiplexed to each other. The multiplexing ratio of

RSLs is 2:1.

z When multiple sites are linked into a ring, parallel transparent transmission mode

is adopted for the timeslots of the Abis interface.z All TCHs and RSLs should be configured with reverse ring Abis interface data.

z Separated from TCH, BCCH and SDCCH do not occupy voice timeslots and

their CICs and TS numbers are 65535 and their sub-TS numbers 255.

z The sub-TS number is configured as 0, 1, 2 or 3 in the Signaling Channel

Connection Table according to actual situations.

z The signaling TSs (including TSs of OML and RSL) and traffic TSs (including TS

of TCH) of different sites cannot be allocated to the same TS. In case of cabinet

group combination, though multiple combined cabinet groups belong to the same

site (only one OML required), the RSL TSs and TCH TSs of different cabinet

groups cannot be multiplexed, i.e., the RSL TSs and TCH TSs of different

cabinet groups are taken on as TSs of different sites.





the OML and RSL timeslots are allocated sequentially from 255 to 0.

IV. Half rate ring networking

Principle for data configuration in half-rate ring networking mode:

z Normal ring OML and reverse ring OML should be configured to each site on the

ring (including tributary site). The normal ring OML is allocated to TS31 of the

normal ring E1 port (achieved by TS switching of the superior sites). The reverse

ring OML is allocated to TS31 of the reverse ring E1 port (when two BIE ports

are linked into a ring, the port connected with port 0 of the site is regarded as the

normal ring port, and the other port as the reverse ring port).The TEI of the

normal ring OML and that of the reverse ring OML must be configured as the

minimum values among all the TEIs of the signaling link in the same TS with rate

of 64kbit/s. It is recommended that the TEIs be configured as 0.

z OML and RSL cannot be multiplexed to each other. The multiplexing ratio of

RSLs is 2:1.

z When multiple sites are linked into a ring, parallel transparent transmission mode

is adopted for the timeslots of the Abis interface.

z All TCHs and RSLs should be configured with reverse ring Abis interface data.

z Separated from TCH, BCCH and SDCCH do no occupy voice timeslots. Their

CICs and TS numbers are 65535, and their sub-TS numbers are 255.

z The sub-TS number is configured as 0 or 1 in the Signaling Channel Connection

Table according to actual situations.




B-47

z The signaling TSs (including TSs of OML and RSL) and traffic TSs (including TS

of TCH) of different sites cannot be allocated to the same TS. In case of cabinet

group combination, though multiple combined cabinet groups belong to the same

site (only one OML required), the RSL TSs and TCH TSs of different cabinetgroups cannot be multiplexed, i.e., the RSL TSs and TCH TSs of different

cabinet groups are taken on as TSs of different sites.





the OML and RSL timeslots are allocated sequentially from 255 to 0

z To support dynamic adjustment to channel rate, two HW timeslots are allocated

to each TCH in the Radio Channel Configuration Table. When the TCH type is

configured as full rate, the full-rate TCH occupies one timeslot, and the other one

is idle in normal cases. When the channel rate is adjusted, i.e. one full-rate TCH

is adjusted into two half-rate TCHs, each of the half-rate TCHs occupies a

timeslot. When the TCH type is set as half rate, there are actually two half-rate

TCHs, and each occupies a HW timeslot.

V. Examples

Ports 0 and 1 of the BIE are linked into a full-rate ring networking mode, in which five

sites (Site0~Site4) are connected and each site is configured with two TRXs. Channel

0 of TRX0 is "Primary BCCH", and channel 1 is "SDCCH8". The other channels of TRX0 together with all the channels of TRX1 are configured as "Full rate TCH".

"Site3" is a tributary site, and the other four sites are loop sites. Port 0 of the BIE

serves as the normal ring port, and port 1 of the BIE as the reverse ring port. Port2 is

the port of the superior site of "Site3". The networking topology of sites is shown as

2) Abis timeslots

Parallel transparent transmission is adopted for the TCH of the normal ring and

reverse ring and RSL signaling channel on the Abis interface. Therefore, the timeslot

sequencing of the TCH and that of the RSL signaling channel in the normal ring and

reverse ring are the same on the Abis interface.

Table B-29 illustrates the distribution of the normal ring timeslots on the Abis

interface.
