Operation and Maintenance System

This chapter explains: ZXC10 BSSB OMC structure and functions.

BSS implements system O&M functions through OMC. OMC software follows client/server architecture. The application server receives requests from clients, implements service and database processing, and sends requests to BSS. It then processes and returns results to the client, realizing O&M functions. The server manages all service functions in a centralized manner, and handles processing, which the client cannot realize.

Hardware Design Reliability Simplified design A simple system design and reasonable function layout reduces the number of board types. The board design involves minimum complications while ensuring full functionality.

Component design Stringent quality controls on components ensure component reliability. Use of universal components belonging to a standard manufacturer ensures ease of component replacement and reliable functioning.

According to design requirements, component de-rating further improves component reliability.

For power components that are part of power converter and AC/DC power module, load power under normal operations is less than 70% of rated output power.

For used IC components, serving frequency rate is less than the maximum permissible frequency. Components like FPGA, EPLD, SDRAM and RS-422 drive require de-rating.

To reduce instant current impact, all ICs have a decoupling capacitor at the input power end.

The capacitor dielectric strength is usually greater than 30% of working voltage.

Redundancy design Some boards follow 1+1 hot backup mode and N+1 hot backup. Power section follows mutual backup.

Thermal Design BSC and BTS follow forced air cooling to keep working temperature within reasonable range in the rack. Larger power consumption by high power amplifier necessitates use of exclusive air ducts.

Protection Design Working ground of internal grounding cable is separate from protection.

Internal grounding with external ground connection requires uniform grounding of rack exterior while maintaining overall grounding resistance less than or equal to 5 ohm.

Interference Resistance Design Rack power inlet port configuration with power cable filter enables resistance to interference and radiation.

Interfaces and Protocols

This chapter explains: Interface types in typical CDMA networks – A Interface, V5 interface,

Um interface, and Abis interface.

Base Station System (BSS) provides several external interfaces such as, A interface, V5 interface and Um interface. The communication interface between BSS and Mobile Switching Center Emulation (MSCe)/Media Gateway (MGW), Packet Data Service Node (PDSN), and Packet Control Function (PCF) is the A interface. The A interface conforms to IOS5.0 and IOS4.* standards. Interface between Mobile Station (MS) and BSS is Um interface, interface between BSC and local exchange is V5, interface between BSC and BTS is Abis and conforms to IS-2000 Release A specifications and CDMA 2000 HRPD definition.

A Interface Figure 13 illustrates A Interface in a 1x network.

MTP1 defines the physical, electrical function features and link access methods of data link signaling.

Level 2 (MTP2) MTP2 defines the function and program of transferring signaling messages over data link. Level 2, along with MTP1 ensures that transfer of signaling messages takes place reliably over two signaling points.

Level 3 (MTP3) MTP3 helps transmit messages to the proper signaling link or UP. In the face of barrier or congestion, this level can complete the recombination of network signaling to ensure reliable transfer of signaling messages.

Level 4 Level 4 is an application layer that consists of a variety of UPs. In the example, A1 level signaling occurs prior to SCCP level expansion.

In order to expand SS7 transport function and maintaining consistency between SS7 and OSI reference model, addition of MTP3 to SCCP and TC modules suit applications of SS7 to IN, NMS, Public Land Mobile Network and N-ISDN supplementary services.

Signaling transmission model formed by MTP and SCCP is similar to the bottom three OSI layers. MTP1 performs the OSI physical layer function and MTP2 performs the OSI data link layer function. MTP3 and SCCP perform the OSI network layer function together.

Compared with IOS2.1 version, IOS4.X standard defines more A1 signaling interface contents:

Support for packet data call.

Support for preferred terrestrial circuit.

E1/T1

Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) is a voice code modulation where analog voice conversion takes place at 64 Kb/s or 56 Kb/s using analog/data conversion and PCM code. In China and Europe the code rule where PCM transmits each received voice channel at 64 Kb/s over E1 trunk lines. In the American μ code rule PCM transmits received voice channels at 56 Kb/s over T1 trunk lines.

A1p Interface 2G BSS uses A1 and A2 interfaces to connect with 3G CS core network. ADM transmission uses both A1 and A2 interfaces.

3G BSS uses A1p and A2p interfaces to connect with 3G CS core network. IP transmission uses both A1p and A2p interfaces.

SCTP SCTP provides a reliable message transport in IP networks.

An association is a SCTP connection between two endpoints. A logical aggregation of streams constitutes one SCTP association. A stream is a

unidirectional logical channel between two endpoints. Bi-directional communication requires two streams, one for each direction. SCTP specifies the user stream attaching each user message originating from the user application. A stream identifier exists for each stream within an association. Each SCTP stream is an independent flow of user messages flowing from one node to another. This stream independent characteristic provides a mechanism to avoid and/or manage blocking between streams.

SUA SUA supports signaling messages between the MSCe and BS. BSAP uses one SUA signaling connection for the transfer of layer 3 (A1p) messages per MS.

SUA uses both connectionless (Class 0) and connection-oriented (Class 2) procedures to support BSAP. The procedures in this specification identify whether connection-oriented or connectionless procedures can use each layer 3 (A1p) procedure.

The use of SUA is within the standards defined in the equivalent subset of SCCP functions.

A2p Interface The A2p interface functions as the voice bearer service interface connecting MGW and 3G BSC. Figure 20 illustrates the A2p protocol stack structure.

A3 Signal

Physical Layer The ZXC10 BSSB equipment uses E1/T1 trunk cables or Ethernet.

ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a data transfer mode that combines packet transfer with circuit transfer features. This mode breaks down the digital information into data blocks of 48 bits each. Each data block adds header data (cell header in ATM terminology) at the beginning of data blocks. They form the cell with 53 bits. This feature is similar to packet transfer.

Cells from different message sources queue in the receiving buffer. According to the “first in and first out” principle, they are output to the transmission line. This feature is similar to packet transfer. The difference lies in the fact that ATM cell has fixed length and that data packet length is variable.

Because of ATM fixed cell length, time-division multiplexing mode employs use of similar circuit transfer. The ATM cell placed in circuit transmission evolves to ATM transmission mode. Different from circuit transfer mode, ATM cells do not have fixed time slot numbers.

AAL5 ATM Adaptation Layer (ATM Adaptation Layer) provides adaptation function to various ATM transmission services, and makes the service suitable for ATM transfer. AAL uses five different protocols: AAL1, AAL2, AAL3, AAL4 and AAL5. AAL5 uses A3 interface; AAL2 uses A7 interface. AAL5 transmits larger data packets; AAL2 enables voice service transmission at variable transfer rates.

IP IP is the TCP/IP network layer protocol. IP packets contain destination and transmitting end IP addresses.

Stream Layer The stream layer provides a multiplex/de-multiplex mechanism for upper layer applications. 1x EV-DO has a provision for at most four streams. Stream 0 is for signaling and others for transmitting subscriber data.

Session Layer The session layer includes a series of protocols for negotiation between the terminal and network. In the 1x EV-DO system, a session refers to a state jointly maintained between AT and AN. It includes address UATI allocated to the terminal, the protocol set determined by the terminal and for air interface communication network, protocol configurations in the protocol set, and current terminal location. The session layer defines three protocols:

Session Management Protocol manages activation of other protocols in this layer to ensure session validity, and to manage session shutdown.

Address Management Protocol manages the terminal address (UATI) allocation.

Session Configuration Protocol provides the session flow negotiation. In 1x EV-DO, SCP negotiates the protocol for terminal-network communication and setting of protocol parameters.

Connection Layer The connection layer controls the air link state. In 1x EV-DO systems, an open connection between AN and AT indicates that AT involves RPC, RTC and FTC (FTC is the time division shared by all subscribers with open connections in the sector) assignment. The connection layer defines multiple protocols in the connection layer. Figure 37 illustrates the mutual relationships between protocols.

Link Layer The link layer supports multiple protocols: High level Data Link Control (HDLC), Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), PPPmux and PPPmultilink.

HDLC: Is a bit-oriented data link layer protocol. The bit-oriented feature involves taking a bit (not character) as a basic transmission unit and controlling information. The data frame format is similar to control frame format, and has good transmission transparency and high efficiency.

PPP is a link layer protocol with a simple link design that transmits data packets between peer units.

PPPmux completes transmission of multiple PPP encapsulation packets (or subframe) by single PPP frame and reduces PPP cost of each packet. It applies to voice and data transmission over low speed links.

PPPmultilink is a link type protocol applicable to point-to-point links when a link exceeds certain flow or during initiation of other links.

IP IP is a TCP/IP network layer protocol. IP packets contain destination IP address and transmitting end IP address.

TCP/UDP/cUDP

TCP is the TCP/IP transport layer protocol. TCP provides connection-oriented and flow control services to packet data ensuring reliable packet transmission. TCP packets contain destination application TCP port number and transmitting end application TCP port number. UDP is a connectionless protocol. cUDP is a compressed user Datagram protocol.

Abis Traffic/Abis Signal Application layer contains two parts: control signaling part and service signaling part. The signaling part carries out converse control channel signaling of Um interface. The service part completes service management and service transmission.
