DO-RNC Functional Overview

1xEV-DO Base Station Controller Communicate and Control multiple DOM(s) Uses IP-Abis interface (Standard GRE encapsulation) Communicate with PDSN over R-P interface (A10/A11) Support Automatic Failure Recovery DOM(s) dynamicly homed to Redundant DO-RNC if primary one failed (A13) Comprehensive Redundancy Features IP Load Balancing, Hotswappable Power supplies/fans/modules, Warm-Standby System Controller. Cost-effective operations and management via EMS and existing Operational Support Systems (OSSs) Standards compliant IS-856/1xEV-DO, 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) Wireless IP Network Standard

DO-RNC Modules
BIO Supports two 100 Base-T Ethernet ports. Supports TCP/IP stack over the Ethernet connections to both PDSN and Backhaul Network. Supports Abis Link connection(s) toward DOM(s) Supports for installation in multiple slots in DO-RNC IP Load Balancing for increased Bandwidth and Redundancy.

RNSM Responsible for terminating the signaling and session setup components of the 1xEV-DO protocol. Serves multiple DOM(s) and automatically balances the traffic load with other RNSM(s) installed within the same DO-RNC system Supports for installation in multiple slots in DO-RNC increases the number of DOM(s) served, and cost-effectively scale as cell site coverage area and capacity grows

SC

Responsible for System Configuration, Routing Protocols, Disk operation, Network Management, and 1xEV-DO Signaling/Session setup activities Communicate with the RNSM and BIO modules over backplane connection Supports 1+1 System Redundancy ( both in Slot-7 & Slot-9 )
Confidential & Proprietary 5

RNC Disk Operation Overview

Slot_7 SC card is mapped to disk1: ( in green) Slot_9 SC card is mapped to disk2: ( in blue ) Active disk is always designated as disk0: which is a virtual disk and can actually be either disk. In Redundant mode operation, SC writes to disk0: which goes to both physical disks as part of automatic Disk Synchronization.
