Chapter 1 Overview
Multi-clock synchronization
ZXUR 9000 UMTS supports multi-clock synchronization. For the abrupt problems,
such as clock fault, it provides 1+1 hot backup for automatic changeover, to satisfy
the operation and maintenance requirement of operators.
Carrier-Class Reliability
ZXUR 9000 UMTS adopts a modular design that facilitates installation and maintenance
and makes capacity expansion or adjustment flexible. With good strength and rigidity, the
cabinet will hardly become loose, deformed, or damaged during installation/uninstallation,
storage and transportation. Besides, the cabinet structure has well-designed cooling and
good electromagnetic compatibility.
All the key components employ 1 1 active/standby backup mode, and other components
adopt load sharing mode. With high application reliability, ZXUR 9000 UMTS employs the
Linux operating system, and supports active/standby mode of process-class software.
Environment-Friendly Design
The system is designed by observing relevant environment preserving regulations and
standards. The increasing energy tense and ever deteriorating environment have made
environment-friendly design and low power consumption important concerns for telecom
operators, who not only take environment preservation a social responsibility and a means
for reducing cost, but also promote the formulation of relevant regulations and standards.
Compared with two independent controllers, ZXUR 9000 UMTS reduces the power
consumption itself by employing a set of physical devices to deploy two logic networks.
Besides, the overall power consumption of the system is reduced with advanced technical
measures from ZTE corporation. Such as, utilization of radio resources is improved
through the message interaction among different modes, to achieve a perfect dynamic
power-consumption management strategy, and some carriers and boards of low utilization
can be shut off appropriately, to reduce power consumption and save energy.

Introduction to Synchronization
Synchronization in UTRAN involves network synchronization, node synchronization, and
radio interface synchronization.
system from overload, and to keep the system reliable. In addition, access control is
to access services to a great extent, when services are adequate, fully utilizing system
resources and ensuring OoS of users.
New services are requested under such scenarios as RRC connection establishment,
RAB establishment, RAB modification, SRNC relocation, Iur interface handover, Intra-RNC
handover, and dynamic channel allocation. After receiving the request, RNC, according
to the service attribute and equipment capability, selects the transmission channel type.
After that, it decides whether to access corresponding channels according to the resources
utilization of the target channel of the current cell, and the resources needed by services.
When new cell services are requested, RNC balances the system resources in advance
according to cell resources utilization, to prevent inadequate resources during access, and
prevent the cell from overload after access.
The RAN equipment from ZTE Corporation implements access control according to
priorities. That is, users and services with higher priority are likely to obtain more system
resources and better QoS service.
l
l
Downlink open-loop power control is used to set the initial TX power of a downlink
channel according to a UEs downlink measurement report.
Power balance, when RNC achieves macro diversity balance, is to balance the
transmitting power of several downlink radio links and solve power offset.
Uplink outer loop power control is to set the quality target value of Node B uplink inner
loop power control by means of quality estimation of the transmission channel, thus
achieving the objective of controlling uplink radio channel quality within a long sector.
Uplink open-loop power control is used to set the initial TX power of a UE according
to the UEs measurement report information in cases like random access.
Downlink outer loop power control is performed by UE. It is to set the quality target
value of its downlink inner loop power control by means of quality estimation of the
transmission channel too, thus achieving the objective of controlling the downlink radio
channel quality within a long sector.RNC is responsible for setting of some parameters
used in downlink outer loop power control.

Chapter 2 Function
Reverse handover
It refers to the UE-controlled handover in case the configuration fails or under
conditions such as adverse radio environment (CELL UPDATE and URA UPDATE for
instance). It also includes intra-RNC and inter-RNC handover, that is, the intra-RNC
reverse handover and inter-RNC reverse handover.
SRNS relocation
It refers to the shift of the Iu interface connection from SRNC to DRNC after all the
radio links have been shifted to DRNC.
Inter-system handover
It refers to the mobility management of UE from one radio access system to another
radio access system (from UTRAN to GERAN). It requires that UE supports WCDMA
and GSM modes. in addition, the GSM system should provide corresponding
functions to support handover between different systems.

HS-PDSCH serving cell will be changed. Only one of the HSDPA and HSUPA serving
cells exists.
Initial channel allocation. When the channel is set up initially, proper channel and rate
configuration are allocated to services according to service demand and the system
status. It includes the channel allocation of signalling, initial services, and concurrent
services.
Channel migration. Proper transmission channel configuration is selected for the PS
services according to their actual rates. The channel type can be changed with the
rate of PS services. When the actual data traffic of users is lower than the bandwidth
allocated by the system, the bandwidth is reduced to save resources. When the
actual data traffic of users is close to their allocated bandwidth, the bandwidth is
properly improved to prevent services of users from being affected. During the
session, the dynamic radio bearer control is to adjust the service bandwidth in
real time and perform handover between channels according to the measurement
results.The conversational CS services occupy the downlink/uplink DCH channel,
the streaming services occupy the DCH-type channel, and the interactive and
background services occupy the FACH and DCH-type channels.The migration from
PCH to DCH is not supported, but the status migration among PCH, FACH, and DCH
is supported.

Release by force: High-priority services with forcible release capability can release the
services of users with low priority. User with high priority acchieves access through
the preemption of users with low priority and whose services can be released by force,
to show the service difference among users.
Reduce the rate: The data rate of online users is reduced to improve the call
connection rate.

7.1 Overview
The ZXUR 9000 UMTS has good compatibility with the existing 2 G/3 G base station
equipment from operators, and supports to connect to 2 G/3 G base stations and 2 G/3
G core networks through several transmission modes. Reasonable networking assists in
the long-term network planning and the reduction of networking costs.
The ATM STM-1 interface at the base station is available to the operator's ATM
network for accessing to ZXUR 9000 UMTS.
In the SDH transmission network, the base station can be connected to ZXUR 9000
UMTS over the narrowband E1/T1, and CSTM-1 interfaces.
ZXUR 9000 UMTS can be interconnected and interchanged with the IP backbone
network. Selecting appropriate access mode and differentiating different VLANs
can effectively separate broadcast storms from Ethernet. Meanwhile, setting a
broadband network access server (BNAS) in the network is capable of implementing
authentication and security control.
The hybrid networking, which is applicable to ZXUR 9000 UMTS and the base station,
falls into IP network and conventional SDH transmission network based on sites, or the
SDH network and IP backbone network based on CS and PS services respectively.
According to the network topology, star networking, chain networking, ring networking
(requires supported transmission network), and hybrid networking are applicable to ZXUR
9000 UMTS and the base station.
l
In start networking, ZXUR 9000 UMTS is directly connected with each base station
which is a kind of end equipment. This networking mode is very simple and the
maintenance and engineering are very convenient too. Because signal passes
7-1
SJ-20121213161403-002|2013-08-01(R1.1)
through fewer intermediate links along the transmission path, the link reliability is
much higher. Star networking is usually applied in dense-populated urban areas.
Chain networking is usually applied in strip-shaped, sparse-populated areas, and a
large amount of transmission equipment can be saved. The chain networking mode
is also applicable to one site with multiple base stations. Since signals go through
more links, the line reliability is relatively poor.
In actual engineering networking, since the sites are generally sparse, the difference
with the basic networking mode is that transmission equipment is generally needed
between ZXUR 9000 UMTS and base stations to serve the purpose of intermediate
connection. The common transmission media include: microwave, optical cable,
HDSL cable, and coaxial cable.
The ring networking mode involves two sets of links running in the active/standby
mode. Every node on the ring has two upper-level nodes, which increases the link
reliability. In this case, when a site is damaged or a link fails, the lower-level nodes
can select another link as the active link.
Note:
The ring networking between ZXUR 9000 UMTS and base stations is dependent upon
transmission equipment.

ZXUR 9000 UMTS provides several convenient operation and maintenance modes.
As required, you can select the GUI graphic interface or the MML command line to perform
management and maintenance on NEs.Figure 8-1 shows the operation and maintenance
networking of ZXUR 9000 UMTS.
Figure 8-1 Operation and Maintenance Networking
The operation and maintenance system of ZXUR 9000 UMTS adopts the server/client
architecture with simple networking, easy operation and maintenance.

The NetNumen U31, the centralized operation and maintenance software, either can
be installed locally or remotely. Wherever you can log in the system through the
NetNumen U31 client to perform remote management on several ZXUR 9000 UMTS.
You can set the NE agent at NetNumen U31 to remotely log in the OMM that can be
configured with one or two boards in active/standby mode. The system adopts the
server/client architecture. The operating system of the server is the Linux desktop
system that supports to connect to such external input/output equipment as keyboard
and mouse.
The OMP module controls the overall procedure, and related operation and
maintenance of the whole system. It connects with the OMM module within ZXUR
9000 UMTS. It, as the operation and maintenance center of ZXUR 9000 UMTS,
monitors and manages the configuration of boards and others components in the
system.
The CMM module in the EGFS board powers up the boards and loads board versions
in the service subrack, and monitors the power supply, temperature, and fans for the
subrack.

1+1 backup
The two boards working in the active/standby mode operate at the same time and
process the same service. The board in standby mode does not output service
information.
When the board in active mode becomes faulty, the system immediately performs
active/standby switchover, which does not affect the system functions.
Load sharing
The boards working in the load sharing mode backups the service data. That is, when
services are running, related service data is allocated to the load sharing boards. If
one of the boards is faulty, the system negotiates to rapidly allocate the service data
to other load sharing boards, to ensure the normal running of services.

Supports the backup of the key version or major data as the basis for rollback in the
case of failed loading of a version or relevant data.
The Watchdog function can restart a board to resume operation when an error occurs
during the software operation. Meanwhile, the black box records the runtime errors
for further analysis.
During the backup of hardware, the software can automatically test the faults occurring
at ports, links, and other faults. If any fault is tested, the software automatically start
or activate the standby unit to ensure proper system operation.
The figure above illustrates the air outlet at the top of the cabinet. The air enters the cabinet
from under the service subrack horizontally, and turns vertical after flowing through the
ventilation subrack, bringing heats from inside the cabinet to the outlet above the service
subrack. This is an efficient way of heat dissipation.
