Chapter 2 Key Benefits

This chapter consists of the following sections:

All-IP Platform of Advanced Radio Controller High Integration and Large Capacity SPM-Based Modular Design and Flexible Expansion Multiple Clock Sources Diverse Transmission Solutions Advanced RRM Algorithms Advanced Solutions to Radio Data Services High Compatibility of Protocols
2.2 All-IP Platform of Advanced Radio Controller

The BSC6810 uses the all-IP Platform of Advanced Radio Controller (PARC) developed by Huawei. This platform can meet the requirements for the development of high-speed packet services.
2.3 High Integration and Large Capacity

The BSC6810 has the following features:
The BSC6810 is highly integrated. Based on the Gigabit Ethernet (GE) star nonblocking switching on the Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer, the BSC6810 achieves a central switching capacity of 118 Gbit/s.
The BSC6810 supports up to 1,700 NodeBs and 5,100 cells. The BSC6810 supports up to 51,000 Erlang voice traffic or 3,264 Mbit/s (UL + DL) PS data capacity. Such capacity, however, is implemented by only two cabinets.
The BSC6810 provides a single-cabinet solution supporting 24,000 Erlang voice traffic or 1,536 Mbit/s (UL + DL) PS data capacity.
2.4 SPM-Based Modular Design and Flexible Expansion

The BSC6810 adopts the modular design based on Service Processing Modules (SPMs). The SPMs take the load sharing design to share resources.
Commercial in Confidence Page 3 of 69
Through the addition of SPMs, the capacity of the BSC6810 can be increased smoothly with no disruption of ongoing services. The BSC6810 can be configured with a maximum of 17 SPMs.
2.5 Multiple Clock Sources

Multiple clock sources are available for the BSC6810. Thus, the BSC6810 can select clock sources flexibly. The available clock sources are as follows:

Building Integrated Timing Supply System (BITS) Global Positioning System (GPS) Line clock extracted from the Iu interface
The BSC6810 can set a priority for each clock source.
2.6 Diverse Transmission Solutions

The BSC6810 provides diverse transmission solutions by supporting:

Multiple Iub Network Topologies Multiple Types of Transmission Ports Flexible Configuration of Interface Boards IP Transport on the Iub/Iur/Iu Interfaces Hybrid IP Transport on the Iub Interface ATM/IP Dual Stack on the Iub Interface Satellite Transmission on the Iub Interface IMA Fractional Functions Timeslot Cross Connection MLPPP
2.6.1 Multiple Iub Network Topologies

The BSC6810 supports multiple Iub network topologies, such as star, chain, and tree.
2.6.2 Multiple Types of Transmission Ports

The BSC6810 provides multiple types of physical transmission ports for the Iub, Iur, and Iu interfaces. The Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) transmission ports are of the following types:

E1/T1 Unchannelized STM-1/OC-3c

Page 4 of 69
Channelized STM-1/OC-3
The IP transmission ports are of the following types:

E1/T1 Fast Ethernet (FE) GE
2.6.3 Flexible Configuration of Interface Boards

The BSC6810 does not place restrictions on which slots hold interface boards for the Iub, Iur, or Iu respectively. A subrack can host different types of ATM and IP interface boards at the same time.
2.6.4 IP Transport on the Iub/Iur/Iu Interfaces

In addition to ATM transport, the BSC6810 supports IP transport on the Iub, Iur, and Iu interfaces. This agrees with the evolution to an all-IP network, provides sufficient bandwidth for high-speed and large-volume data services, and reduces the cost of construction, operation, and maintenance of transport networks.
2.6.5 Hybrid IP Transport on the Iub Interface

When IP transport is applied to the Iub interface, data of different priorities can be transmitted separately through E1/T1 ports and FE ports. The transmission mode of a service depends on the Quality of Service (QoS) requirement. Services with high QoS requirements are transmitted through E1/T1 ports, and those with low QoS requirements are transmitted on the Ethernet. Hybrid IP transport guarantees the QoS and provides sufficient interface bandwidth for high-speed PS services such as High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), thus saving the transmission cost.
2.6.6 ATM/IP Dual Stack on the Iub Interface

ATM/IP dual stack is supported between the BSC6810 and a NodeB. Services with high QoS requirements are transmitted through ATM, while those with low QoS requirements through IP. Such data transmission guarantees the QoS and provides sufficient interface bandwidth for high-speed PS services such as HSDPA and HSUPA, thus saving the transmission cost.
2.6.7 Satellite Transmission on the Iub Interface

The BSC6810 supports satellite transmission on the Iub interface to cover isolated areas.
Page 5 of 69
2.6.8 IMA
The BSC6810 provides the Inverse Multiplexing on ATM (IMA) function over E1/T1 links. An ATM cell stream from a high-speed transport link is multiplexed inversely onto multiple low-speed E1/T1 links. Then, at the receiver end, the low-speed cell streams are converged to the original high-speed cell stream. The IMA function enables high-speed transmission through low-speed links. Thus, it broadens the application scope of E1/T1 links. In addition, this function has a relatively high fault tolerance. Provided that the number of working links is not smaller than the specified minimum number of active links in the IMA group, services can continue. Thus, the IMA function ensures high transmission reliability.
2.6.9 Fractional Functions

The BSC6810 provides the fractional functions, that is, fractional ATM and fractional IMA. The fractional functions enable the 3G equipment to share the E1/T1 links of a 2G network, thus allowing 2G and 3G concurrent transmission. With the fractional functions, you can deploy NodeBs at an early stage of WCDMA network construction by using the existing 2G transmission resources. Thus, you can launch the system at a comparatively low cost and within a relatively short period of time.
2.6.10 Timeslot Cross Connection

The BSC6810 supports the timeslot cross connection function without support from any special device.
2.6.11 MLPPP
The BSC6810 provides the Multilink PPP (MLPPP) function. This function combines physically independent links to form only one logical channel. Thus, the network layer can send data directly to this logical channel. The MLPPP function provides a relatively high bandwidth and implements rapid data transfer.
2.7 Advanced RRM Algorithms

The BSC6810 uses Huawei-patented Radio Resource Management (RRM) algorithms in the following functions:

Power control Handover Radio resource allocation Call Admission Control (CAC)
Page 6 of 69
Load control
In addition, the BSC6810 applies these algorithms in new features such as HSDPA, HSUPA, and Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service (MBMS). Thus, the BSC6810 offers optimum network coverage, capacity, and quality.
2.7.1 Power Control

The BSC6810 uses Huawei-patented outer loop power control algorithms. It aims to provide the required quality for the UE when the radio environment changes and to increase the usage of system capacity.
2.7.2 Handover
The BSC6810 supports flexible handover strategies and parameter configurations. Based on different coverage areas, services and loads, it performs different kinds of handovers, such as intra-frequency handover, inter-frequency handover, and interRAT handover. Thus, it improves the speech quality, reduces the call drop rate, and implements traffic absorption in special areas.
2.7.3 Radio Resource Allocation

Based on the QoS requirements, actual traffic volume, and actual cell load, the BSC6810 can allocate resources dynamically. Thus, it fulfills the communication requirements and increases the efficiency of radio channel resources.
2.7.4 CAC and Load Control

The BSC6810 applies multiple Huawei-patented technologies, such as load sharing and admission based on rate downsizing, to balance loads between cells and to control service access. Thus, it increases the system capacity and guarantees the current QoS.
2.8 Advanced Solutions to Radio Data Services

The BSC6810 adopts the advanced technologies, such as HSDPA, HSUPA, and MBMS, to meet the requirements of different types of data services.
2.8.1 HSDPA
The BSC6810 adopts the HSDPA technology as the solution to high-speed downlink data transmission. The downlink rate for a single user can reach a maximum of 7.2 Mbit/s on the MAC sublayer.
Page 7 of 69
2.8.2 HSUPA
The BSC6810 adopts the HSUPA technology as the solution to high-speed uplink data transmission. The uplink rate for a single user can reach a maximum of 1.44 Mbit/s on the MAC sublayer.
2.8.3 MBMS
The BSC6810 adopts the MBMS technology to provide broadcast of high-speed multimedia services. The transmission rate of the MBMS services can reach a maximum of 256 kbit/s.
2.9 High Compatibility of Protocols

The BSC6810 is developed according to 3GPP R6 specifications. It is compatible with other Network Elements (NEs) and UEs based on 3GPP R6, R5, R4, or R99 specifications.

Page 18 of 69
3.3.1 Internal Switching Module

The internal switching module is implemented mainly by the SCUa. The SCUa in the RSS performs first-level switching and that in the RBS performs second-level switching. Thus, the BSC6810 provides internal MAC switching at two levels. The two-level switching enables full connection between all modules of the BSC6810.
3.3.2 User Plane Data Processing Module

The user plane data processing module is implemented mainly by the DPUb and CSUa. This module performs protocol processing at each layer on the user plane data for the RNC. The CSUa performs the following protocol processing on MBMS services:

Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) Radio Link Control (RLC)
The DPUb performs the following protocol processing on other services:

Frame Protocol (FP) Macro Diversity Combining (MDC) MAC RLC PDCP Iu User Plane (Iu UP) protocols
The DPUb is configured in both the RSS and the RBS. The CSUa is configured only in the RSS.
3.3.3 Control Plane Data Processing Module

The control plane data processing module is implemented mainly by the SPUa. This module processes control plane signaling on each interface for the RNC. The processed messages are of the following types:

Radio Access Network Application Part (RANAP) NodeB Application Part (NBAP) Radio Network Subsystem Application Part (RNSAP) Radio Resource Control (RRC) Service Area Broadcast Protocol (SABP)
The SPUa is configured in both the RSS and the RBS.
3.3.4 Clock Module

The clock module is implemented mainly by the GCUa/GCGa and the clock
Page 19 of 69
processing units of other boards. This module provides the clock for the operation of the RNC, generates RFN signals, and provides NodeBs with timing signals. The GCUa/GCGa is configured only in the RSS. If the RNC requires GPS signals, the GCGa must be configured.
3.3.5 Transmission Interface Module

The transmission interface module is implemented mainly by the AEUa, AOUa, UOIa, PEUa, FG2a, or GOUa. This module provides the transmission interface between the BSC6810 and other NEs. In addition, it performs related protocol processing on the transport network layer. For ATM transport, the AAL2 and ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) are terminated at the transmission interface module. For IP transport, this module processes User Data Protocol (UDP) and IP messages and forwards IP messages on the control plane.
3.3.6 OM Module
The OM module is implemented mainly by the LMT, Back Administration Module (BAM), and related modules of host boards. This module performs operation and maintenance of the BSC6810.
3.4 Hardware Configuration

The BSC6810 adopts the modular design based on the SPM. An SPM consists of two SPUa boards and two DPUb boards. The two SPUa boards work in 1:1 redundancy mode, and the two DPUb boards work as a resource pool. Through the addition of SPMs, the capacity of the BSC6810 can be increased smoothly with no interruption of ongoing services. The RSS can be configured with up to two SPMs, and an RBS can be configured with up to three SPMs. The BSC6810 can be configured with up to 17 SPMs.

Security Management Configuration Management Maintenance Management Fault Detection Performance Management Alarm Management Loading Management Status Monitoring Message Tracing Log Management Software Management
4.3.1 Security Management

BSC6810 security management provides the following functions:
Grade-based operator right setting You can set the operator right, operation time limit, and password to ensure system security and operation flexibility. Operator information protection If no operation is performed during a certain period, the user interface is automatically locked.
4.3.2 Configuration Management

The BSC6810 provides certain functions for configuration management. These functions are described in the following parts.
I. Automatic Data Configuration

The BSC6810 can automatically generate the configuration data that is necessary for internal physical and logical connections and configure the data for the corresponding
parts. No manual configuration is required. You need to configure only the data for connections between the BSC6810 and external devices, thus improving the serviceability of the BSC6810.
II. Online and Offline Data Configuration

The BSC6810 supports the following configuration modes:
Offline data configuration Configuration data is stored only in the BAM. The data is not sent to the host before being loaded to the host. Therefore, this mode increases the efficiency of configuring a large amount of data. The BSC6810 also supports offline data configuration based on host subracks. Therefore, it allows capacity expansion without interrupting services. Online data configuration Configuration data is sent to the host immediately after the configuration. There is no need to reset the BSC6810 or to reload the data. Thus, dynamic data configuration is enabled.
III. Dynamic Batch Data Configuration

The BSC6810 supports dynamic configuration of data in batches. With this function, the batch data configuration scripts are executed when the BSC6810 is offline. After the BSC6810 switches to online mode, the BAM sends all the configuration data to the host in batches. The data takes effect with no need of restarting or resetting the subracks or boards. This avoids interrupting the ongoing services. In the case of bulk data modification, such as NodeB reparent and change of interface board types, dynamic batch data configuration improves efficiency.
IV. Data Configuration Right Control

Under data configuration right control, only one user has the right to perform data configuration for the BSC6810 at any time. The configuration is allowed on only one configuration console at a time, that is, either on the LMT or on the M2000. With the control, data configuration on the LMT and that on the M2000 are not allowed at the same time, thus improving the reliability of the BSC6810.
V. Data Configuration Rollback

The BSC6810 provides the data configuration rollback function. If data configuration fails to achieve the expectation or even causes equipment or network exceptions, you can perform rollback to restore the configurations soon for the proper running of the BSC6810.

The following two modes are available for loading program files and data files onto boards of the BSC6810:

Loading from the flash memory of the boards Loading from the BAM
The mode of loading program files and data files onto a board depends on the consistency between the files in the flash memory of the board and those in the BAM. If they are consistent, the board loads the files from its flash memory. If they are inconsistent, the board loads the files from the BAM and updates the files in the flash memory of the primary workspace on the board, so as to ensure the program and data consistency.

Chapter 5 Reliability

System Reliability Hardware Reliability Software Reliability
5.2 System Reliability

The system reliability design of the BSC6810 takes into account the following measures:
Load control The system performs load control based on the CPU usage, traffic over each interface, and radio resource load of the system. In this way, the system reliability is ensured in the case of CPU overload and resource congestion. Port trunking SCUa boards support port trunking. This function allows data backup in case of link failure, thus preventing inter-plane switchover and cascading switchover and improving the reliability of intra-system communication. Dual plane for timing signal transmission The BSC6810 provides the dual plane for transmission of timing signals between the GCUa/GCGa and SCUa boards. The active and standby GCUa/GCGa boards are connected to the active and standby SCUa boards through the Yshaped cables. This connection mode ensures proper working of the timing signals for the system if a single-point failure occurs to the GCUa/GCGa, cable, or SCUa. In addition, with the Y-shaped cable, switchover of GCUa/GCGa boards does not affect the SCUa. Transmission port redundancy
Unchannelized optical ports support Multiplex Section Protection (MSP) 1:1 or MSP 1+1 port redundancy. Channelized optical ports support MSP 1:1 port redundancy. FE or GE ports support port redundancy and load sharing between the ports.
All these improve the reliability of transmission.
OM dual plane
Page 36 of 69
To improve the reliability of OM channels, the BSC6810 provides the OM dual plane, including dual OMUa boards, dual Ethernet adapters, and dual main control boards.
Crystal Aging Compensation technology The BSC6810 adopts the Huawei-patented Crystal Aging Compensation technology to compensate for frequency deviation caused by the aging of temperature-constant crystal oscillators. This technology protects the clock precision from the influence of the aging of the crystal oscillators and ensures long-term stability and reliability of the system clock. Dual 48V power supply The two independent 48 V power supplies operate at the same time to ensure normal operations in case that either of them fails. The failed supply can be restored without a power cut. This improves the reliability and availability of the power system.
5.3 Hardware Reliability

The BSC6810 adopts the reliability design such as board and port redundancy and load sharing. In addition, it improves the reliability and maintainability by optimizing the fault detection and isolation techniques for boards and the whole system. The hardware reliability design of the BSC6810 takes into account the following measures:
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 of the redundancy design or anti-suspension/breakdown design.
The system uses the redundancy design, as shown in Table 1.1, to support hot swap of boards and redundancy of important modules. Therefore, the system has great error tolerance.
Table 1.1 Part redundancy Part CSUa GCUa/GCGa SCUa SPUa AEUa
Redundancy Mode Board redundancy Board redundancy Board redundancy + Port trunking on GE ports Board redundancy Board redundancy

FG2a GOUa FG2a/GOUa GE port FG2a FE port OMUa
Board redundancy Board redundancy Port redundancy or load sharing Port redundancy or load sharing Board redundancy
When an entity fails, the isolation mechanism transfers the services to another entity for processing. After the system finds a faulty board in the resource pool, it isolates the board. Then another board in the resource pool will process the subsequent services.
When a board with a single function fails, restarting the system might clear the fault. The Watchdog Timer (WDT) module on each board supports leveled reset, that is, the key chip, the satellite signal receiving card, a sub-board or port can be reset separately.
The system uses the non-volatile memory to store important data. With advanced integrated circuits such as Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), the system features high integration, good technology, and high reliability. For example, all the network chips in the boards use ASICs designed by Huawei. These ASICs provide internal fault detection and reporting on the chip level.
All the parts of the system pass the aging test. The process of hardware assembly is strictly controlled. These methods ensure the high stability and reliability for long-term operation.
5.4 Software Reliability

The error tolerance ability of the software system indicates the software reliability. In other words, the whole system can keep on working in case of software failure. This indicates that the system has self-healing ability. The BSC6810 derives this ability
Page 38 of 69
from the following aspects:
Regular check of important resources Usage check is provided for various software resources in the system. If a resource is unavailable because of a software error, the unavailability lasts only a short time. The reason is that the check mechanism ensures the release of this resource and the output of logs and alarms. Task monitoring During the running of software, the BSC6810 monitors the internal errors of all software and some hardware faults, if any. It then reports the errors and faults to the OM system. Load sharing The FG2a and GOUa support inter-board load sharing between ports. The DPUb boards or digital signal processors in an SPM work in resource pool mode. If a DPUb fails, the services processed by this DPUb are scheduled to another DPUb for processing. The same is true of a digital signal processor. Data check The system is able to perform regular or event-driven check for data consistency and output the related log records and alarms. Dual version The boards of the BSC6810 have active/standby workspaces. The active workspace stores the current version files, and the standby workspace stores the version files other than those in the active workspace. Switchover between the active and standby workspaces can be performed to upgrade or roll back the RNC version. Therefore, the active and standby workspaces facilitate the upgrade of and rollback for the RNC and greatly reduce the time of service interruption caused by the upgrade. Data backup The BAM data and FAM data can be backed up, so that the reliability and consistency of the data are ensured. Storage of operation log information The BSC6810 records the operations that you perform and saves them in the operation log. You can use the operation log to locate and clear errors or exceptions caused by operations. Flow control The BSC6810 automatically controls the flows on the Iub, Iur, and Iu interfaces to avoid overload due to heavy traffic.
