1.1 Positioning
Introduction
This product description is applicable to the BSC6900 V900R011. With the rapid development of mobile communications technologies, multiple network systems come into coexistence. In this situation, the network operators worldwide have to deploy different networks and therefore pay high capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operation expenditure (OPEX). Therefore, the industry has been focusing on the convergence of multiple network systems to reduce the expenditures of the operators. The BSC6900 is an important network element (NE) of Huawei SingleRAN solution. It adopts the industry-leading multiple radio access technologies (RATs), IP transmission mode, and modular design. In addition, it is integrated with the functions of the UMTS RNC and GSM BSC, efficiently maintaining the trend of multi-RAT convergence in the mobile network. The BSC6900 can be flexibly configured as a BSC6900 GSM, BSC6900 UMTS, or BSC6900 GU as required in different networks. The BSC6900 in independent mode refers to the BSC6900 GSM or the BSC6900 UMTS whereas the BSC6900 in integrated mode refers to the BSC6900 GU. The BSC6900 GU operates as an independent NE to access the GSM&UMTS network and integrates the functions of the GSM BSC and the UMTS RNC. When the BSC6900 GU accesses the GSM network, the 3GPP R6 applies; when the BSC6900 GU accesses the UMTS network, the 3GPP R7 applies. This document describes the BSC6900 in integrated mode, that is, the BSC6900 GU. Figure 1-1 shows the BSC6900 GU.

Improved Utilization of Transmission Bandwidth Through Sharing of Transmission Resources

l
The BSC6900 provides the highly efficient transmission resource management algorithm, which enables the transmission bandwidth to be shared between the GSM network and the UMTS network. In this way, the utilization of transmission bandwidth increases by 5% to 10%. The IP interface board of the BSC6900 is shared between the GSM network and UMTS network so that it can transmit the GSM data and the UMTS data at the same time. The BSC6900 supports the following flexible transmission modes shared between the GSM network and the UMTS network:

l l
Abis/Iub over IP 2G/3G co-transmission based on TDM timeslot switching A/Iu-CS over IP Gb/Iu-PS over IP
Compatible Hardware in Different Networks

The BSC6900 shares a hardware platform with the BSC6000 and BSC6810. Nearly 80% of the BSC6900 boards can be shared among the three variants.
l
The BSC6900 shares all the hardware and software of the radio resource management (RRM) module, OM module, and clock synchronization module with the BSC6000 and BSC6810. The BSC6900 shares the hardware of most of the service processing modules, signaling processing modules, and interface processing modules with the BSC6000 and BSC6810. In addition, the working mode of the boards can be set online.
The BSC6900 maximizes the sharing of the spare parts between the GSM network and the UMTS network, simplifying the management of the spare parts and protecting the equipment investment.
Reduced OPEX Through Shared OM System

The BSC6900 integrates the two separate OM systems of the traditional GSM network and UMTS network into a uniform OM system, improving the user experience and the efficiency in maintaining the multi-RAT system. The BSC6900 uses the web-based Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) without the need to install the client software. You can directly use the LMT after logging in to the BSC6900 homepage. The use of LMT facilitates the equipment commissioning and software upgrade and reduces the OM cost.
Expanded Network Capacity Through Optimized CoRRM Algorithm

The Co-Radio Resource Management (CoRRM) algorithm performs unified management and intelligent scheduling on the radio resources in the GSM network and UMTS network. The traditional CoRRM algorithm exchanges the 2G/3G load information between the GSM network and the UMTS network through signaling procedures across the core networks. The
Issue V1.4 (2012-02-29)

CoRRM algorithm optimized by Huawei enables rapid transmission of 2G/3G load information (used as internal messages) within the BSC6900. The advantages are as follows:
l l l
Having no dependency on the equipment in the core network Reducing delay, adjusting the load in real time, and increasing the success rate of inter-RAT handovers Decreasing the signaling flow on the standard interface and saving interface resources
The optimized CoRRM algorithm maximizes the sharing of radio resources between the GSM network and the UMTS network, increasing the network capacity.

2.1 Overview
Architecture
The BSC6900 GU has a modular design. It enhances resource utilization and system reliability by fully interconnecting subracks and applying distributed resource pools to manage the service processing units. The backplane is universal and every slot is common to different types of boards so that different functions can be performed. In this way, the universality and evolution capability of the hardware platform are improved. The BSC6900 GU integrates the functions of the BSC6900 GSM and the BSC6900 UMTS through unified software management, shared OMU and GCU/GCG, and configuration of GSM service boards and UMTS service boards in separate subracks. The MPS can be a GSM subrack or a UMTS subrack, and works as an NE. Figure 2-1 Configuration of the BSC6900 GU (example)

2.4 Reliability
The resource pool design and redundancy mechanism are widely used in the system reliability design of the BSC6900 GU. The techniques of detecting and isolating the faults in the boards
Issue V1.4 (2012-02-29)
Page 18 of 40
and in the system are optimized and the software fault tolerance capability is improved to enhance the system reliability.
2.4.1 System Reliability

The BSC6900 GU system reliability is designed with the following features:
l
High-reliability architecture design The design of dual switching planes, with up to 120 Gbit/s GE star non-blocking switching capability per subrack, solves the bottleneck problem and prevents the single point failure in the deployment of the high-capacity BSC6900 GU. Moreover, port trunking technology is adopted on the switching boards. The port trunking function allows data backup in case of link failure, preventing inter-plane switchover and cascading switchover and improving the reliability of intra-system communication. Dual clock planes are used in clock transmission between the GCUa/GCGa board and the SCUa board. Therefore, a single point of failure does not affect the normal operation of the system clock.
Resource pool design In case of overload, the system implements load sharing between the control plane and the user plane by employing the full resource pool design. This effectively avoids suspension because of overload, improving the resource utilization and system reliability.
Redundancy mechanism All the hardware in the BSC6900 GU adopts the redundancy mechanism. The rapid switchover between active and standby parts improves the system reliability. Moreover, with the quick fault detection and rectification feature, the impact of the faults on the service is minimized.
Flow control The system performs flow control based on the CPU and memory usage. Therefore, the BSC6900 GU can continue working by regulating the items pertaining to performance monitoring, resource auditing, and resource scheduling in the case of CPU overload and resource congestion. In this way, the system reliability is enhanced.
2.4.2 Hardware Reliability

The BSC6900 GU hardware reliability is designed with the following features:
l
The system uses the multi-level cascaded and distributed cluster control mode. Several CPUs form a cluster processing system. Each module has distinct functions. The communication channels between modules are based on the redundancy design or anti-suspension/breakdown design. The system uses the redundancy design, as described in Table 2-5, to support hot swap of boards and redundancy of important modules. Therefore, the system has a strong fault tolerance capability.

Isolation mechanism is used. When entity A fails to accomplish a task, entity B that has the same functions as entity A takes over the task. Meanwhile, entity A is isolated until it is restored. When a board with a single function is faulty, you can restart the board. All boards support dual-BIOS. Faults at one BIOS do not affect the startup or operation of the boards. The system uses the nonvolatile storage to store important data. With advanced integrated circuits, the system features high integration, sophisticated technology, and high reliability. All the parts of the system are of high quality and pass the aging test. The process of hardware assembly is strictly controlled. These methods ensure the high stability and reliability for long-term operation.

2.4.3 Software Reliability

The BSC6900 GU software reliability is designed with the following features:
Issue V1.4 (2012-02-29) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Page 20 of 40
Scheduled check on crucial resources The software check mechanism checks various software resources in the system. If a resource deadlock occurs because of software faults, the check mechanism can release the locked resources and generate related logs and alarms.
Task monitoring When the software is running, internal software faults and some hardware faults can be monitored through the monitoring process. The monitoring process monitors the task operating status and reports errors to the OM system.
Data check The software performs regular or event-driven data consistency check, restores the data selectively or preferably, and generates logs and alarms.

3.1 Overview
Table 3-1 Configuration modes of the BSC6900 GU Configuration Mode BM/TC combined Description
Configurations
In the BSC6900 GU, the MPS or EPS can be either a GSM subrack or a UMTS subrack. Based on the TCS configuration, the BSC6900 GU supports three types of configuration modes: BM/TC combined, BM/TC separated, and A over IP. The system specifications vary according to the boards configured in the BSC6900 GU. The MPS and EPS are generally called basic module (BM), and the TCS is called transcoder (TC) for short. Table 3-1 describes the configuration modes of the BSC6900 GU based on the TCS configuration.
Characteristic With the same capacity, fewer cabinets and subracks are required in the BSC, increasing the hardware integration. The TCS can be configured in the TCR on the MSC side, saving the transmission resources between the BSC and the MSC.
The BSC is not configured with the TCS. The boards that implement the TC functions are inserted into the slots in the MPS or EPS. This mode is applicable to the scenario where the BSC is configured in a remote equipment room. In this mode, the BSC is configured with a separate TCS, which is placed in the TCR on the MSC side. The MPS must work in GSM mode.

Configuration Mode A over IP
Description The BSC6900 GU is not configured with a TCS. The TC functions are implemented by the MGW.
Characteristic The BSC is directly connected to the Huawei core network without a TC, reducing the CAPEX of the operator. In addition, the number of speech coding and decoding times is decreased to improve the speech quality. The A over IP mode meets the needs for network evolution.
