1. INTRODUCTION
The EVOLIUM G2 Base Station Controller (BSC) is a flexible switching entity that supervises and controls the EVOLIUM Base Stations. It is an important element in the PLMN permitting traffic concentration and hence transmission cost reduction. Its highly distributed processing architecture has sufficient power to handle the most demanding mobile network configurations.
2. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE EVOLIUM BASE STATION CONTROLLER

The EVOLIUM G2 Base Station Controller supports the GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 standards, as well as the multi-band combinations allowed by those standards: GSM 850 + GSM 1800, GSM 850 + GSM 1900 and GSM 900 + GSM 1800. Since its first launch into commercial service in 1997 it has amply demonstrated its key characteristics of outstanding stability and availability in conjunction with a high call success rate. In common with all other similar products the BSC offers a proprietary A-bis interface towards the Base Transceiver Stations but the A interface towards the MSC conforms to ETSI standards permitting operation in a multi-vendor environment. The EVOLIUM G2 Base Station Controller has been designed in a modular way, permitting flexible extensions. Purchasing and deploying the configuration, best suited to the network topology can therefore optimize investment. The processing capacity is distributed throughout the BSC modules. In conjunction with the concept of distributed software it is possible to provide high availability and sufficient resources for future microcellular algorithms and high-traffic applications. The location of the BSC can be chosen to optimize network cost and topology. Remote location, using the BSC as a concentrator, can save the installation and operational costs of transmission lines. If the distances MSC-BSC-BTS are short and the BSC is co-located with the MSC, saving on sites and overall operational aspects are other advantages. With its modular design, its flexibility in operation and the provisions for future network performance requirements, the EVOLIUM G2 Base Station Controller is well suited to all types of GSM mobile networks. For the introduction of GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) features only a limited software upgrade in the EVOLIUM G2 BSC is necessary. This second generation of the EVOLIUM Base Station Controller provides the following enhancements relative to its predecessor: Higher connectivity, more processing and storage capacity, more flexible and integrated submultiplexing and reduced volume.

3. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The design of the EVOLIUM G2 Base Station Controller is based upon the principle of distributed processing. Functions are distributed over several modules, becoming thereby less prone to failures. The basic functions are: - Radio resource management for circuit-switched (CS) and/or GPRS services, - Radio network management, - A-bis, A-ter and A-interface management, - Paging - Processing of non-transparent layer-3 messages, - Operation and maintenance of the BSS, - Switching and submultiplexing of speech, data and signalling information. The BSC is connected to other network elements via the following interfaces: - The A-bis interface towards the BTS, - The A-ter interface directly towards the transcoder or via the MFS (Multi BSS Fast packet Server), - The BSC - OMC-R interface.

Figure 1: BSC context in the PLMN All external interfaces are connected via processor-controlled interface boards, the latter communicating with each other via a self-routing circuit and message switch. The switch logic interconnects speech/data paths between the A-bis and the A-ter interfaces. It is an end-marked, self-routing switch controlled by in-stream commands. It is also used for message (packet) intercommunication between processors, described as Control Elements (CE), connected to the switch.

Figure 2: Overview of EVOLIUM G2 Base Station Controller components Pairs of CEs that communicate through predefined paths perform the maintenance of the switch. To avoid special cabling, this requires CEs to be installed in groups of thirty two using four pairs of Access Switches, all of which are connected to the same first stage group switch element in each plane. Such a group of thirty-two CEs together with their Access Switches is known as a TU (Terminal Unit), a quarter of this, eight CEs with their Access Switch pair is known as a TSU (Terminal Sub-Unit). In the figure above, three different TSU types can be distinguished: One for the A-bis interface, one for the A-ter interface and one for common functions. These three TSUs are described in the following sections.
3.1 The A-bis Terminal Sub-Unit (A-bis TSU)

The A-bis TSU consists of one BIUA (Base station Interface Unit type A), eight TCUCs (Terminal Control Unit type C) and two Access Switches. 3.1.1 The Base station Interface Unit type A (BIUA) The BIUA is a submultiplexing and cross connect module. It provides six G.703 A-bis interfaces which permit the connection of six A-bis PCM trunks. This corresponds to a maximum of six trunks in star or multidrop chain configuration or up to a maximum of three multidrop loop configurations. (Note that there is an overall limit on the capacity of the A-bis TSU that is less than the maximum capacity of all six PCM trunks.)

Edition 06
Page 7
The cross-connect function can route any TRX and signalling channel from any of the six A-bis interfaces to any of the eight TCUCs. This permits reconfiguration within the capacity of the TSU. No on-site visit is necessary for extensions of TRXs or BTSs as long as the capacity of the TSU is not exceeded and no additional A-bis-interfaces need to be connected to the BSC. The reconfiguration can be managed from the OMC-R. 3.1.2 The Terminal Control Unit type C (TCUC) A TCUC can handle a maximum of four full-rate TRXs and four cells. It contains six HDLC controllers and hence can support up to six LAPD connections with a bit rate of either 16 kbit/s or 64 kbit/s. These controllers terminate the signalling links for the TRX (RSL) and the BTS (OML). When individual signalling links are used, this results in a maximum of four FR TRXs / two BTSs or three FR TRXs / three BTSs per TCUC but it is also possible to support four single TRX BTS each using a combined RSL/OML. In addition, the TCUC can handle a maximum of 32 traffic channels in both directions. These can be distributed either between four full-rate TRXs or two dual-rate TRXs. Each TCUC can operate either in full-rate or in dual-rate mode. The TCUC performs the necessary processing of data (handover measurements, performance counters, etc.) for each of the TRXs and BTSs that are assigned to it. It provides the connection to the switch for the speech and data channels. Communication with other CEs is performed via connectionless signalling over the switch. The TCUC is a processor module, equipped with 8 Mbytes of DRAM. 3.1.3 A-bis TSU capacity The capacity of one A-bis TSU permits the assignment of 32 full-rate TRXs to a maximum of 32 cells within the TSU. Reconfiguration, extension and reduction are possible within these limits. No on-site visit is necessary, if the A-bis trunk connections are equipped as required by the network topology. The dual-rate capacity is 16 TRXs assigned to a maximum of 16 cells. A maximum of six interface trunks can be connected in star or multidrop chain configuration. For loop configuration, the maximum is three loops.

3.2 The A-ter Terminal Sub-Unit (A-ter TSU)

The A-ter TSU consists of two ASMBs, eight DTCCs and two access switches. 3.2.1 The Digital Trunk Controller type C (DTCC) The DTCC routes traffic channels from the switch towards the A-ter interface. It also performs Signalling System No. 7 (SS7) and resource management tasks. All DTCCs can carry 31 traffic channels. As defined in ITU-T recommendation G.704, one PCM channel, time slot 0, is reserved for synchronization. In the standard configuration timeslot 16 is reserved for SS7 and timeslot 15 for submultiplexer maintenance, but these may be specially configured to use other timeslots. On some A-ter interfaces additional timeslot are used for other maintenance purposes. For each SS7 link, a minimum of three DTCCs is needed to provide the maximum capacity of 256 SCCP connections. In most configurations the ratio of SS7 DTCs to links is greater than 3:1 and more than 256 SCCP connections per link are possible. Two pairs of DTCCs per cabinet are assigned for the radio resource management of the cells or TRXs connected to this cabinet. For this application, both pairs operate in active/standby mode. Clock reference extraction from the A interface is also performed by the DTCC. This signal is routed to the BCLA, where the BSC internal clock is generated. The DTCC is a processor module, equipped with 8 Mbytes of DRAM. 3.2.2 The Alcatel Submultiplexer type B (ASMB) The ASMB module combines the traffic channels of up to four DTCCs onto one A-ter PCM trunk. This results in a maximum of 116 TCHs per trunk. 3.2.3 A-ter TSU capacity Up to 232 TCHs can be supported by the A-ter TSU.
3.3 The common-functions TSU

Apart from the switching and processing functions which operate in a distributed mode, the EVOLIUM G2 Base Station Controller also contains elements that provide functions for the complete BSC. Such functions are O&M and the X.25 connections towards the OMC-R. The common-functions TSU contains two CPRCs for O&M (OSI-CPRCs), two CPRCs for system functions (System-CPRCs) and two CPRCs for the control of the broadcast bus (BC-CPRCs). In addition, two slots are available for two auxiliary CPRCs should these be required in the future. As with the other TSUs, in addition to the CPRCs, there are two access switches.

Several of the CPRC software applications operate in active/standby mode. In case of a failure of the active CPRC, the application on the standby CPRC is able to switch directly into operation without loss or interruption of service. The basic CPRC is a processor module, equipped with 8 Mbytes of DRAM. 3.3.1 The OSI Common-Processing Resource type C (OSI-CPRC) This pair of processors is used for O&M purposes. Retrieval of performance measurements, initiating of fault and configuration management actions as well as the OSI stack and the X.25 link towards the OMC-R are handled by these modules. For storing data, a 32-Mbyte RAM disk is provided. 3.3.2 The System Common-Processing Resource type C (System-CPRC) This pair of processors is used for system-related tasks for the complete BSC. For example the complete software is stored on the Solid-State Disk (SSD) contained on this module. The SSD has 128 Mbytes capacity. The System-CPRCs also provides a connection to the Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT). 3.3.3 The Broadcast Common-Processing Resource type C (BC-CPRC) With the EVOLIUM G2 Base Station Controller, a new type of communication medium between the processing modules has been introduced. The so-called broadcast bus connects all the processing modules of the BSC. The bus is driven by two dedicated CPRCs that are the only modules with write access. Other modules that want to transmit on the bus first have to send the data to the broadcast CPRC via the switch messaging system. Despite the much increased BSC capacity, the performance characteristics are in fact much better than its predecessor. Especially for paging in a microcellular environment, a rapid distribution of the paging commands from the SS7 terminating DTCC towards the appropriate TCUC is important. If the same sequential distribution method as was used in the previous product had been retained, with a large number of cells, the execution time on the DTCC would have been critical. The DTCC therefore sends the paging command with the necessary instructions only to the broadcast CPRC that then puts this command onto the broadcast bus. Thus in a single operation, all affected TCUCs get the paging message.

3.4 The switch matrix and other functions

In addition to the TSUs, the EVOLIUM G2 Base Station Controller contains other components such as the digital switching network, DC/DC converters and the clock modules. 3.4.1 The switch matrix The BSC switch matrix is a three stage digital switching network. The first stages are the Access Switches in each TSU. Two further stages form the Group Switch. All stages use the same 16 port switching element. 3.4.1.1 The access switch The access switch is a single stage of switching elements through which the control elements: TCUC, DTCC and CPRC gain access to the group switch. For security reasons, there are always two access switches per TSU. 3.4.1.2 The group switch In order to provide such a high switching capacity, a two-stage group switch is used. The group switch is folded at the second stage. It consists of eight planes. A maximum sized two stage Group Switch would have 16 stage-1 and eight stage-2 switching elements. In the G2 BSC, only six stage1 and eight stage-2 switches are required. 3.4.2 The BSC Clock type A (BCLA) There are two variants of the BCLA, the system BCLA and the rack BCLA. A redundant pair of system BCLA modules in the first cabinet of each BSC each accept timing references from up to three A ter mux interfaces (six in all) and hence from the A interface as specified in GSM 08.04. They generate a reference clock for the BSC synchronized to one of the reference sources. The synchronization function is compliant with G.823 (March 93) and the more onerous ETSI requirements TBR12 and TBR13. The outputs from the system BCLAs are distributed to pairs of rack BCLAs, one pair in each rack. These regenerate the clock signals, and provide nondisruptive switching between the two sources if the active one fails. The rack BCLAs distribute clocks throughout their cabinet. 3.4.3 The BSC DC/DC converters The internal BSC DC/DC converters convert the nominal 48/60 V exchange battery supply to the lower voltages required by the BSC circuits. They are interconnected to provide N+1 redundancy.

3.4.4 The Transmission and Submultiplexer Controller A (TSCA) The TSCA supervises all submultiplexing entities in the BSS. The TSCA acts as a slave of the CPRC and periodically polls both local and remote submultiplexing entities to collect alarms and to distribute settings.
3.5 Interfaces, cables and connectors

The BSC is available with either 75- coaxial or 120- balanced A-bis and A-ter interfaces. The BSC has the following external connections: - Submultiplexed A-bis interface, - Submultiplexed A-ter interface, - External alarm signals, - OMC-R interface (on CPRC), - Man-Machine Interface (MMI) (RS-232 and V.24/V.28 on CPRC, TSCA, BIUA and ASMB). All ITU-T recommendations referred to are Blue Book as amended 03/93 where appropriate. 3.5.1 The submultiplexed A-bis and A-ter interfaces The physical and electrical characteristics are according to G.703/6; the frame structure conforms to G.704/5.1.1. 3.5.2 External alarm interface There are ten external-alarm-input interfaces that can be used to supervise external equipment that has a normally closed loop break contact such as power supplies, air conditioning etc. These interfaces are quite robust and can tolerate being connected to exchange battery voltage without damage but are referenced to the BSC electronic ground and do not provide galvanic isolation. If galvanic isolation is required then an external isolation box is available.

3.5.3 Interface to the OMC-R The EVOLIUM G2 Base Station Controller provides two types of interfaces via a PSDN (Packet Switched Data Network): a V.24/V.28 interface for low-speed connections up to 9600 bit/s and an X.21 interface for high-speed connections up to 64 kbit/s. Direct connections to the OMC-R would normally use the X.21 interface. To save space, both interfaces are presented on one 25-pin sub-miniature D connector. For operation in high-speed mode, an adapter cable between 25 pin and 15-pin sub-miniature D connector is available. The interface to the OMC-R can also be routed over the A interface. In many cases this can be more cost effective than using a PSPDN. . 3.5.4 Man-Machine Interface (MMI) on submultiplexing modules This interface is provided to connect local maintenance terminals to the modules CPRC, TSCA, BIUA, and ASMB. The MMI conforms to the V.24/V.28 (RS-232) standard.

4. CONFIGURATION AND CAPACITY ASPECTS

The EVOLIUM G2 Base Station Controller is available in six configurations. The smallest one is mostly intended for pilot systems and very small networks. The other ones are optimized for a large variety of networks. The capacity and the performance of the EVOLIUM G2 BSC are dependent on the BSS software release with which this equipment operates. Indeed, significant capacity and performance improvements will be effective with future software releases whereas the EVOLIUM G2 BSC hardware itself will remain unchanged. The table below gives some key figures about the configurations. One must be aware that the figures are maxima. In a given network context, none of these maxima must be exceeded. It follows that, considering all the factors together, one or more maxima may not be reached in a given network configuration.

5.1.3 Size and floor space requirements Depending on the configuration, the EVOLIUM G2 Base Station Controller can be housed in one, two or three cabinets. When two or three cabinets are used, they are bolted together to form a suite. The cabinets are designed for commercial buildings with a minimum ceiling height of 2.7 meters. Reinforcement of the floor is not necessary due to the lightweight design of the cabinets. Front and rear access to the cabinets must be provided. One cabinet is 2200 mm high, 900 mm wide and 520 mm deep. The figure 17 shows the floor space requirement for the maximum configuration. The requirements for smaller configurations can be deduced from this. The external cabling leaves at the top of the cabinet.

5.2 Power supply system

The BSC requires a nominal input voltage between -48 V DC and -60 V DC at each cabinet. The static input range should not exceed -39 V DC to -72 V DC. If required, a complete BSC power plant can be supplied, including standard backup batteries for emergency power and itself supplied from commercial power sources such as AC mains at the installation site. Battery voltage is distributed within a cabinet to the DC/DC converters. These are located, as required, on the BPAs. The converters, powered from the BSC primary supply, convert the battery voltage to the DC voltages required by the semiconductor circuits on the modules. The BSC has provisions for either 2-wire or 3-wire power and grounding installation. A power cabling option distinguishes between two rack variants and so this is an option that must be specified at ordering time. In the case of a total failure of the power supply external to the BSC, the contents of the solid state disk on the System CPRC will be maintained by a lithium primary cell. The capacity of the cell is sufficient to maintain the data for a total period of approximately 6000 hours or 8.5 months. In the unlikely event that the CPRC is left installed but unpowered for longer than this then the board must be returned to a repair center. During storage the lithium cell is disconnected and has a shelf life of greater than ten years.
