The MFS is composed of :
Up
to 12 GPU (GPRS Packet Unit) per subrack (11 + 1). One GPU corresponds to one BSC. The subrack is also composed of Converters, synchronisation (over Ater) and Ethernet connections. DIGITAL DECalpha Servers (called AS800), which insure the configuration of the MFS and a remote connection. Hubs, used for Ethernet connections.
Two
Internal
It is not mandatory that the MFS is fully equipped in GPUs.

A-bis Signalling Link Statistical Multiplexing

(or Statistiscal Multiplexing on 64 Kbit/s Channel)
Rule :
Multiplexing of the signalling links of the same BTS equipment: 1 to 4 RSL + 1 OML on the same PCM Time Slot (64Kbit/s). Hardware support: BSC G2, A9100 BTS, A910 BTS
Typically, on the same A-bis multidrop link: . 2 BTS with 4 TRX (FR) + 1 BTS with 5 TRX (FR) . 6 A910 Micro-BTS (or A9100 BTS) with 2 TRX (FR)

Annex A: GPRS definition
Purpose of General Packet Radio Service:

The GPRS allows the service subscriber to send and receive data in an end to end packet transfer mode, without utilizing network resources in circuit-switched mode It allows a charging based on data volume (resources really used) It also benefits the network operator who may then use scarce radio resources more efficiently by sharing these resources GPRS provides packet mode transfer of data for applications that exhibit one or more of the following characteristics:
Intermittent, non periodic (i.e. bursty) data transmission frequent transmission of small volumes of data infrequent transmission of larger volumes of data

Smooth and cost effective introduction of GPRS in the BSS by minimizing the hardware modification needed to the already installed network elements Only software upgrade is needed on the installed BTS, BSC and OMC-R GPRS functions are introduced in one network element called Alcatel 935 MFS (Multi-BSS Fast packet Server), one central entity which controls several BSS and supports the GPRS specific functions:
Packet Control Unit (PCU) function Standard Gb Interface protocol stack
Maximum usage of the existing transmission resources
