Interface Type Interface Transmission Bearer Mode

IP

When the mixed networking method is used at the Iub interface, the non-real-time PS
service usually runs on the IP bearer of RNC or NodeB; and the real-time service,
signaling, and OMCB data stream run on the ATM or IPoverE1 bearer.

1.5 Structure of RNC External Interface Protocol

Stack
The structure of RNC external interface protocol stack is shown in Figure Introduction to
RNC System Integration-2.

Figure Introduction to RNC System Integration-2 Structure of Protocol Stack

1.6 General Principles of RNC Integration

1. Integrate the control plane first, and then the user plane.

2. Integrate the control plane and the user plane in the bottom-to-top order on the
protocol stack.
 ZXWR RNC (V3.12) Commissioning Guide

1.7 Preparation for RNC Integration

1.7.1 Hardware Check

1. RNC is installed and powered on, and is running normally.

2. RNC is physically connected with the interfaces involved in the integration.

3. NodeB is installed and powered on, and is running normally.

1.7.2 Data Configuration Check

1. Related integration parameters are obtained and data configuration of RNC is
finished.

2. Data configuration of NodeB is finished.

1.8 Parameter Conversion Related with RNC

Integration

1.8.1 SPC Conversion

SPC provided by the operator is usually in the format: X-Y (X stands for SSF, and Y
stands for SPC); the SPC mode (14 bit or 24 bit) is also specified. Y should be converted
into a decimal coding. If the SPC mode is 14 bit, we will convert it into 3-8-3 mode; if it is
24 bit, we will convert it to 8-8-8 mode.

For example: In the RNC integration of China Unicom (Yanji) in Jilin province, the SPC
of Ericsson’s MGW is 3-2052 (14 bit), which means SSF=3, SPC=2052, and the SPC
mode is 24 bit.

1. SSF has 2 bits, and its value range is 0-3. The meaning of each value is shown in
Table Introduction to RNC System Integration-2Error: Reference source not found.

Table Introduction to RNC System Integration-2 The Meaning of Each SSF Value

SSF Value Meaning

00 International network
01 Spare (for international use only)
10 National network
11 Reserved for national use

6 © 2019ZTE CORPORATION. All rights reserved. ZTE Confidential Proprietary

 ZXWR RNC (V3.12) Commissioning Guide

From the above table, if SSF=3, it means the SPC is reserved for national use.

2. The SPC mode is 14 bit, so it should be converted to 3-8-3 mode.

3. SPC=2052, which is a hexadecimal coding. We should convert it to a binary coding

first which is 10000001010010, and then according to the 3-8-3 mode, divide it to
001-00000000-100 (If there are less than three digits in the first part, add 0).
Finally, convert each segment into a decimal number, and the data to be configured
should be: 1.0.4.

1.8.2 ATM Address Conversion

There are three ATM address formats, as shown below.

Figure Introduction to RNC System Integration-3 ATM Address Format

AFI DCC DFI AA Reserved RD Area ES1 Sel

(39)
(a) DCC format

AFI ICD DFI AA Reserved RD Area ES1 Sel

(47)
(b) IC format

AFI E.164 RD Area ES1 Sel

(45)
(c) E.164 format

The commonly used format is E164 at present.

ZTE’s OMMR supports E164 and NSAP formats, and NASP is the default.

For example:

If the RNC ATM address provided by the operator is in E164 format: 070320000000000,
we need to convert it to the NSAP format.

For the E614 format, AFI=45, which is a hexadecimal number. Put it before
070320000000000, we can get 45070320000000000. Divide it at two-digit interval from
left to right. If the last segment has only one digit, put an F at the end, for example
45.07.03.20.00.00.00.00.0F. Finally, convert each two-digit segment into a decimal
 ZXWR RNC (V3.12) Commissioning Guide

number. The result is the ATM address in NSAP format, which is

69.07.03.32.00.00.00.00.15.

1.8.3 PVC Bandwidth Unit Conversion

The bandwidth unit used at the CN side is “cps”, while ZTE uses “kpbs” in data
configuration at the RNC side. The ATM cell has 53 bytes, therefore 1 cps = 1*53*8 bps
= 424 bps = 0.424 kbps.

2.1.2 IUB Integration Description

Follow the bottom-to-top order on the protocol stack to integrate the physical layer (E1),
IMA layer, ATM layer and NBAP layer in turn.

2.1.3 Physical Layer

1. Check the state of E1 subunit, and that of the corresponding DTB/SDTA/SDTB at

the RNC side. The query method is: in the Status Management interface, choose
SubNetwork > Physical Resource > Logical E1, and choose an E1 from the right
pane (according to the Sub-system No., Unit No., Sub-unit No.); right-click the E1
to choose Sunit State Query. In the normal state, the Sunit state is ‘Normal”. If it
is not normal, check whether the DTB board is normal, whether the E1 connection
is correct, and whether the DIP and jumper are normal.

2. Check E1 L1-L32 on the DTB panel. If the E1 LED indicators are flashing slowly at
1 HZ, all the E1 links are normal.

3. Check the status of all the E1 links at the NodeB side, and make sure these E1
links have been added to the corresponding IMA group in the configuration at the
NodeB side and the Status is Normal.

Figure NodeB Integration-5 E1 Status in NodeB

2.1.4 IMA Layer

1. Query the corresponding IMA E1 link status in RNC by clicking Status

Management > SubNetwork > Transmission Resource > IMA link. Right-click
an IMA link to choose Query IMA Link State. In the normal state, the state of both
Near-end link state in TX direction and Near-end link state in RX direction is
Active.

It is required that the state of all E1 links under one IMA group should be normal.

Figure NodeB Integration-6 IMA Link Status

2. Query the IMA group status in RNC. The query method is: in the Status
Management interface, click SubNetwork > Transmission Resource > IMA
group. Right-click an IMA group and choose Query IMA group state. In the
normal state, the status of both the Near-end IMA group state and Far-end IMA
group state should be Running. If not, we need to check the integration
parameters of the two IMA groups. For example, check whether the configurations
of scrambling and descrambling for the two IMA groups are consistent.

Right-click a cell and choose Query Status of Cell. In the normal state, the
Administrative Status is Unblock, the Exist Status is Existence, and the
Available Status is Normal.

3. Check the status of channels in the RNC by clicking Status Management >
SubNetwork > UMTS Radio Resource > Channel (UMTS). Right-click an item on
the right and choose Query Channel Status. In the normal state, the Operation
Status should be Enabled, the Exist Status should be Existence, and the
Available Status should be Normal. In the normal state, the number of BCH,
PCH, and RACH should be 1, and the number of FACH should be at least 1. Keep
querying the status by refreshing. They are required to remain in existence.

2.2 ATM over STM-1

2.2.1 IUB Integration Parameters

The major difference between ATM over STM-1 and ATM over E1 lies in the
transmission bearer mode. As to integration, they mainly differ from each other in the
transmission bearer mode, while the integrations of the other protocol layers for them
are the same. The basic integration parameters are as shown in the table below.

2.2.2 IUB Integration Description

Follow the bottom-to-top order on the protocol stack to integrate the physical layer, IMA
layer, ATM layer, and NABP layer in turn.

2.2.3 Physical Layer

1. Check the state of APBE subunit, and the subunit state of the corresponding APBE
board at the RNC side. For APBE/2, there is only one subunit; for APBE, there are
four subunits. To query the state, click Status Management > SubNetwork >
Physical Resource > STM-1Physical Port, select an ATM port (according to the
Sub-system No., Unit No., and Port), and right-click the port to choose Query Fiber
Port Status. In the normal state, the Query Result should be “Operation
succeeds! Port Status: on”.

2. Check the LED indicators of the APBE board. In the normal state, the ACT LED
indicator should be constantly on. ACT1-4 and SD1-4 correspond to optical
interface1-4 respectively. If the ACT1 LED indicator is constantly on, it indicates
that the current optical interface is active; if the SD1 LED indicator is constantly on,
it indicates that the current optical interface can receive optical signal.

2.2.4 ATM Layer

Refer to Chapter2.1.5 for the method of ATM layer integration.

2.2.5 NBAP Layer

Refer to Chapter2.1.6 for the method of NBAP layer integration.

2.3 ATM over CSTM-1

2.3.1 IUB Integration Parameters

ATM over CSTM-1 differs from ATM over E1 in the transmission bearer. Therefore, as to
integration, they mainly differ from each other in the integration of the transport layer,
while the integrations of the other protocol layers of the two bearer modes are the same.
The basic integration parameters of ATM over CSTM-1 are shown in Error: Reference
source not found.The basic integration parameters are as shown in the table below.
