FOREWORD
The BSC6900 is an important network element (NE)
of Huawei Single RAN solution. It adopts the
industry-leading multiple radio access technologies,
IP transmission mode, and modular design. It
features high capacity, high integration, excellent
performance, and low power consumption.
The BSC6900 can be flexibly configured as a
BSC6900 GSM only, BSC6900 UMTS only, or
BSC6900 GU as required in different networks

FLEXIBLE TOPOLOGIES AND SMOOTH EVOLUTION

The BSC6900 can be flexibly configured as a BSC6900
GSM, BSC6900 UMTS, or BSC6900 GU; therefore, it is
applicable to various networking scenarios.
The BSC6900 can be configured as one of the three
variants, therefore facilitating the smooth evolution
between GSM, GSM&UMTS, and UMTS.
The functions of the BSC6900 boards can be set
online to dynamically adjust the capacity
allocation between the GSM network and the
UMTS network.

Inter-subrack MAC and TDM switching
Provides OM channels

NETWORK TOPOLOGIES BETWEEN SUBRACKS
MAC switching - star topology

One node functions as the center node and it is
connected to each of the other nodes. The
communication between the other nodes must
be switched by the center node.
TDM switching - mesh topology

There is a connection between every two nodes.
When any node is out of service, the
communication between other nodes is not
affected.

TYPICAL HARDWARE CONFIGURATION (GSM)

Service processing boards
The number of A-interface circuits should be considered in the configuration of DPUc/f
boards.
The number of PDCHs should be considered in the configuration of DPUd/g boards.
The number of TRXs should be considered in the configuration of XPUa/XPUb boards.
Interface boards
In Abis over IP mode, the FG2a, FG2c, PEUa, POUc, GOUa, and GOUc boards can be
configured. In Abis over TDM mode, the EIUa and OIUa boards can be configured.
In A over IP mode, the FG2a, FG2a, GOUa, and GOUc boards can be configured. In A
over TDM mode, the EIUa, OIUa, and POUc boards can be configured.
