1 OVERVIEW
1.1 Background
1.1.1 3G System Overview
With the fast growth of wireless services and the rapid expansion of Internet
5 services, the wireless communication system has to meet increasing demands for
system capacity, data transmission rate and strong support for diverse services. The
3G mobile communication system (IMT2000) draws the attention of the whole
industry. The major feature of 3G mobile communication system is the support of
broadband service, especially the multimedia data service efficiently using
10 frequency spectrum. The 3G system is designed to provide a larger system capacity
and better communication quality than 2G systems, implement seamless roaming
around the world, and provide subscribers with multiple services.
Mainstream technical standards for the 3G are CDMA2000, WCDMA and TD-
SCDMA.
15 The CDMA2000 standards are usually implemented technically in two phases. In
the first phase, the CDMA2000 still adopts the spread spectrum rate of CDMA
ONE, i.e., 1 × 1.2288Mbps. A single carrier occupies 1.25MHz bandwidth. It adopts
DS spread spectrum technology. The CDMA2000 system in the first phase is also
called CDMA2000 1X. In the second phase, the spread spectrum rate is 3 × /6 × /9 ×
20 /12 × 1.2288 Mbps, respectively occupies 5/10/12/15 MHz bandwidth. It adopts
multi-carrier modulation technology. The CDMA2000 system in the second phase is
also called CDMA2000 3X. In addition, the 1xEV-DO Rev.A, which serves as an
enhanced standard supplemental to IS2000, supports data transmission up to
3.1Mbps in a bandwidth of 1.25 MHz.
25 1.1.2 Overview of the CDMA2000 All-IP Network

The evolution from traditional networks to All-IP networks helps network builders
and operators offer more flexible service platform functions at lower costs. All-IP
networks, when integrated with 3G wireless access technologies, enable
provisioning of multimedia services over IP (including VoIP), giving network
30 builders and operators competitive edge.
The overall structure of the CDMA2000 All-IP network consists of the radio access
network and the core network. The evolution of the core network is independent
from that of the radio access network.
The CDMA2000 network evolves to All-IP network in several phases: Phase-0,
35 Phase-1, Phase-2 and Phase-3.
1. Phase-0 is a traditional network based on circuit switching. The access network
is based on IOS 4.x, the air interface is based on cdma2000 and the core
network is based on TIA/EIA-41.
2. Since Phase-1, the core network separates from the access network, forming
40 independent signaling layer and bearer layer. The access network signaling is
transmitted over IP.
3. Phase-2 corresponds to the LMSD (Legacy MS Domain) phase, which requires
the IP network to support traditional terminal services and provide new service
functions (such as TrFO/RTO) for users using new terminals.
ZTE Confidential Proprietary Page 1

4. Phase-3 corresponds to the MMD phase, and is the end point of the evolution to
All-IP. In this phase, the air interface based on IP is implemented and finally
IP-based transmission is realized throughout the network.
Such a way of phased and independent evolution offers flexibility to operators, and
5 better supports the network transition policy of the traditional telecom operators.
1.1.3 Introduction to the ZXC10-BSSB

It is foreseeable that the multimedia information such as voice, data and video will
be integrated into the IP network architecture, as are a consensus of the industry and
a mega-trend of the telecommunication network. In response to the technical
10 development trend, the ZXC10-BSSB has been developed on the basis of the IP
platform. The ZXC10-BSSB consists of the ZXC10-BSCB and a series of BTSs.
The ZXC10-BSSB features advanced and future-proof technology, high integration,
large capacity and full ranges of product series. The ZXC10-BSSB can support the
all the existing standards for the CDMA2000 1X and 1xEV-DO family, and it has
15 supported the function of the CDMA2000 All-IP network in the LMSD phase, and
supports the smooth evolution to the next generation ALL-IP network.
1.2 Position of ZXC10-BSCB in a Network

The ZXC10-BSCB is a new-generation product designed basing on the 3GPP2
series standard protocols and the All-IP platform structure. As an important pat of
20 the CDMA2000 1X/1xEV-DO system, it provides the BSC (Base Station
Controller) and PCF (Packet Control Function Subsystem) function in the
CDMA2000 radio access network (RAN).
The ZXC10-BSCB can support CDMA2000 1X and 1xEV-DO Rev.A
simultaneously on the same platform, and support mixed insertion of the IX and
25 1Xev-DO Rev.A. This system is compatible with IS-95 backward, and can be
smoothly upgraded to the later CDMA2000 1xEV-DV.
The ZXC10-BSCB already supports the functions of the CDMA2000 All-IP
network in the LMSD phase, IOS5.0, the separation of signaling from bearer, and
the A1p/A2p interface. The IP transmission technology can be adopted to access it to the
30 CDMA2000 core network that implements LMSD (Legacy Mobile Station Domain).
Note: The BSC and BSCB mentioned in this document refer to ZXC10-BSCB.
1.2.1 CDMA2000 1X Network Architecture

Figure 1 shows a typical CDMA20001X All-IP network in the LMSD phase.

Figure 1 Typical Network Structure of the 3GPP2 All-IP Network in LMSD Step-2
The overall network architecture of the All-IP network in the LMSD phase consists
of the radio access network and the core network, which are independent of each
5 other.
z Radio Access Network (RAN)
Located between the MS (Mobile Station) and the CN (Core Network), the RAN is
responsible for processing radio signals, terminating radio protocols, and connecting
the MS with the core network. It consists of two parts, BSC/PCF (generally referred
10 to as BSC) and BTS. In the CDMA 2000 RAN, the BSC is the control part in the
BSS (Base Station System) to implement functions, such as call processing, service
selection, resource allocation, background monitoring and BTS (Base Station
Transceiver) access.
z Core network
15 Core network performs the mobility management, network-side authentication and
interface of public networks. The core network consists of the CS (Circuit
Switching) domain and the PS (Packet Switching) domain: The CS network consists
of NE such as MSCe, MGW, MRFP, SGW, SCPe and HLRe; the PS core network
consists of PDSN (Packet Data Service Node) and AAA. The CS supports two
20 transmission technologies, IP and TDM, to implement the access of the BTS. The
CS core network can interwork with the TIA/EIA/IS-41 and GSM MAP networks,
as well as the fixed PSTN.
1.2.2 Interfaces of ZXC10-BSCB in the CDMA20001X Network

Figure 2 shows the ZXC10-BSCB interface in the All-IP network of the
25 CDMA20001X LMSD phase. The BSC is connected to the BTS via the Abis
interface, to the MSCe/MGW via the A1p/A2p or A1/A2 interface, and to the PCF
via the A8/A9 interface. The PCF is connected to the PDSN equipment via the
A10/A11 interface. BSCs are connected with each other via the A3/A7 interface.

The external interfaces of the ZXC10-BSCB are standard ones, and the interfaces
between BSSB and MSCe/MGW, PDSN and PCF meet the CDMA2000 standard
5 interface specification; the interface between the BSC and the BTS is the user-
defined Abis interface.
ZXC10-BSCB supports the IOS5.0 protocol, and the A1p and A2p interfaces based
on the IP transmission technology, through which it can be accessed to the
MSCe/MGW. Meanwhile, the ZXC10-BSCB is compatible with the IOS4.*
10 backwards, and provides the A1 and A2 interfaces to access it to the MSCe/MGW
with the TDM transmission technology. However, for the same ZXC10-BSCB
equipment, it can be accessed to MSCe/MGW in only one mode (IP or TDM).
1. Alp interface: When BSC is accessed to MSCe in the IP transmission mode, the
signaling interface between the BSC and the MSCe is the A1p interface. The
15 A1p interface bears the signaling messages related to call processing, mobility
management, radio resource management, authentication and encryption.
2. Al2p interface: When BSC is accessed to MGW in the IP transmission mode,
the voice bearing service interface between the BSC and the MGW is the A2p
interface.
20 3. Al interface: When the BSC is connected to the MSCe over TDM, the signaling
interface between the BSC and the MSCe is the A1 interface. The A1 interface
bears the signaling messages related to call processing, mobility management,
radio resource management, authentication and encryption.
4. A2 interface: When the BSC is connected to the MGW over TDM, the voice
25 bearing service interface between the BSC and the MGW is the A2 interface. It
bears the 64/56K PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) data between the SDU
(Selection/Distribution Unit) at the BTS side and the switching network at the
MSC side.
5. A3 interface: Support the inter-BSS soft handoff (BSC interconnection) when
30 the mobile station is in the traffic channel state. It is divided into two parts: the
A3 signaling interface and the A3 traffic interface.

6. A7 interface: Support the inter-BSS handoff when the mobile station is not
controlled in the traffic channel state and supports the control flow when the
mobile station needs to establish the new traffic for inter-BSS soft handoff.
7. A8 Interface: Bear the data between BSS and PCF.
5 8. A9 interface: Bear the signaling transmission between BSS and PCF, and
maintain the A8 interface between BSS and PCF.
9. A10/A11 interface: Bear the transmission of signaling and data between PCF
and PDSN for maintaining the BSS-PCF A10 connection. The A10 interface
bears data while the A11 interface bearing signaling.
10 10. Abis interface: The Abis protocol is used for the interfaces between the BSC
and the BTS. It consists of two parts on the application layer: Control part
(Abisc) and traffic part (Abist), the former converts the Um interface control
channel signaling and the latter converts the control over the traffic channel.
1.2.3 Model of CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A Radio Access Network

15 The reference model for the CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A radio access network is
shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 Model of CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A Radio Access Network

The CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A system consists of Access Terminal (AT), Radio
20 Access Network (RAN) and core network.
z RAN
RAN provides the radio bearer between the core network and AT, responsible for
establishing, maintaining and releasing radio channels, to manage the radio
resources and mobility. RAN consists of such functional entities as Access Network,
25 Packet Control Function (PCF) and Access Network AAA.
The AN consists of BSC and BTS. AN is a kind of network equipment that provides
data connections between the packet network and the access terminal, to implement
the BTS transceiving, call control and mobility management.
AN-AAA is a logical entity for the access network to implement access
30 authentication and user authentication. It exchanges the parameters and results for
access authentication with AN through the A12 interface.
PCF and AN jointly implement the radio channel control function related to the
packet data service. In the specific implementation of ZXC10-BSCB, PCF is
configured together with BSC, and the A8/A9 interface is the internal interface for
35 AN/PCF. PCF communicates with PDSN through the A10/A11 interface.

3.4 Power Control

3.4.1 Power Control for CDMA2000 1x
20 Power control can control the actual transmission power of the mobile phone or BTS
in radio transmission to keep it as low as possible, to reduce the power consumption
of mobile phone and BTS and the interference of the entire CDMA network.
Power control can be divided into forward power control and backward power
control, either of which is performed independently. The so-called backward power
25 control refers to the control of the mobile phone transmitting power, while forward
power control refers to the control of the BS transmitting power.
In a CDMA cellular mobile communication system, the following power control
modes are available:
1. Backward open-loop power control
30 2. Backward closed-loop power control
3. Backward outer-loop power control
4. Forward closed-loop power control
3.4.2 Power Control for 1xEV-DO

In 1xEV-DO system, as the forward power is constant, there is no problem of power
35 control. Power control is performed in the reverse channel, which involves open
loop power estimation and close loop power correction.

The reverse power control has a control over the output power of the accessed
terminal to ensure the quality of the reverse link while minimizing the interference
and maximizing the system capacity. Only when the average reverse link SNR of
each user supports the acceptable performance with the minimum overheads can the
5 system achieves the largest capacity.
The power control for 1xEV-DO falls into three parts:
1. Open loop power control: The AT (Access Terminal) determines the condition
of the reverse link based on the receiving power of the forward pilot channel,
and adjusts the initial transmitting power to compensate the path loss;
10 2. Close loop power control: The AT feedbacks the power control information in
the RPC (Reverse Power Control) based on the demodulation performance of
the reverse data, and adjusts the transmitting power of the reverse pilot;
3. Outer loop power control: BSC adjusts the comparative threshold in the inner
loop power control based on the quality of the reverse link frame. AN judges
15 the quality of data frame according to the CRC check.
3.5 Handoff Control

3.5.1 CDMA2000 1X Handoff Control
1. Softer handoff and soft handoff: BSC supports up to 6-way softer handoff. BSC
supports up to 6-way soft/ softer handoff;
20 2. Inter-Frequency semi-soft handoff at boundary of different carriers: The Inter-
Frequency semi-soft handoff between borders with different carrier frequencies
includes three ways: handoff, hand-down and MS auxiliary inter-frequency
semi-soft handoff. For the IS95A mobile phones, the BS auxiliary inter-
frequency handoff algorithm is supported; for the IS95B mobile phones and
25 later versions, the candidate pilot search auxiliary handoff algorithm is
supported; for the IS95B mobile phones and later versions, hard handoff

45 diagnosis test.

3.7 Supporting vocoder mode

1. Supports the QCELP 8K, QCELP 13K and 8K EVRC modes.
2. Supports SMV (Selectable Mode Vocoder).
3.8 Supporting TrFO/RTO

5 TrFO/RTO is one of the functions of the CDMA2000 All-IP network in the LMSD
phase.
TrFO (Transcoder Free Operation) means that two mobile stations have the network
capability to make the MS-MS call with the same encoding/decoding. It transmits
compressed voices in the bearer path of the packet network between traditional
10 mobile phones through saving the encoder/decoder. The transcoder is placed at the
network side, and associated with MGW. Through only transmitting the compressed
voice, TrFO improves its bandwidth utilization and reduces its loop delay. In
addition, it can improve the voice quality.
RTO (Remote Transcoder Operation) refers to the network capability that is
15 incompatible with the encoding/decoding at the end point. RTO tries to establish the
bearer path with the single code conversion to match the incompatible
encoding/decoding. The ideal compressed voice is transmitted between the end
points. For the case where there is no single code conversion used for establishing
bearers, two Tandem code conversions are needed, to search for a matching code
20 between the two end points. RTO is a special case of TrFO.
3.9 Voice Service Function

1. Supports MS-originated call, MS-terminated call;
2. MS release, MSC release and BSC release.

Sales) and other bank charging terminal services support;
4. PC fax, dial-up access, access to the private network VPN.
3.15 Concurrent Service

10 The concurrent data and voice services support the coexistence of the voice and data
services. That is, the concurrent transmission of data is possible when a voice
conversation is under way.
The concurrent service requires the use of Release A mobile phones.
3.16 Broadcast/Multicast Service

15 BCMCS (Broadcast-Multicast Service) is an application developed basing on the
1xEV-DO system, used for providing the broadcast/multicast service for users. The
purpose for providing such a service is to improve the carrier/sector data efficacy of
operators, for example, if the 400 K BCMCS service is provided, the equivalent
forward data traffic can reach 12 M if there are 30 subscribers using the BCMCS
20 under each carrier/sector.

3.23 Wireless Public Phone Service

The wireless public phone service uses the MS as a public phone and has the
10 following working principles: MS consists of the CDMA transceiver and single chip
machine. CDMA transceiver is equivalent to the main board of the mobile phone. It
realizes coding and decoding of voice and air interface communication with BTS.
The public phone subscriber initiates a call, the BTS sets up voice path with the
called party through BSC and MSC. The called party hooks off, MSC will receives
15 the signaling response from the called party, MSC sends the charging signaling to
BSC, which control a charging start signaling in the signaling exchange between the
BTS and terminal; the single chip machine monitors the signaling information
received by CDMA transceiver in real-time, and reverses the power polarity once
monitoring the charging start signal, and then the outside charging device is
20 triggered to start the charging, as a result, the charging function is implemented.

4 SYSTEM STRUCTURE
4.1 System Structure of BSCB
The ZXC10 BSCB is an upscale radio access product based on the All-IP
technology. The general structure of an All-IP network is shown in Figure 5.
5 As shown in Figure 5, there are two levels of switching structure:
1. Level 1 switching: For an IP service, it can be the Ethernet switching or the
direct switching of the Crossbar+ network processor/network processor;
2. Level 2 switching: For an IP service, it can be the Ethernet switching.
10 Figure 5 General Structure of a BSC Uniform Platform Network

BSCB can access and process multiple traffic flows: Circuit, IP (Internet Protocol),
ATM (Asynchronous Transmission Mode) and HIRS (High-speed Interconnect
Router Subsystem) traffic flows, as shown in Figure 6.
15 Figure 6 Multiple Services Mapping

Mutual mapping is available between services:

1. A circuit service can be converted into an IP service through code mapping and
vice versa;
2. An HIRS service can be converted into an IP service through frame mapping
5 and vice versa;
3. An ATM service can be converted into an IP service through cell mapping and
vice versa;
4. An ATM service can be converted into a circuit service through IP indirect
mapping and vice versa;
10 5. An HIRS service can be converted into a circuit service through IP indirect
mapping and vice versa;
6. An HIRS service can be converted into an ATM service through IP indirect
mapping and vice versa.
As the control part of the BSSB, the BSCB provides the Abis interface with the BTS
15 and A interface with the MSC and PDSN. It executes the control, management and
maintenance for one or multiple BTSs attached to it, and provides service channels
and SS7 signaling interfaces to the MSC or MSCe/MGW.
The BSC adopts the 19-inch standard rack where four 8U standard plug-in boxes
can be supported. However, only three of them can be configured upon
20 configuration of a GPS plug-in box. Designed with the CompactPCI standard,
universal BSC plug-in boxes adopt the 8U space with boards being plugged from
both the front and back sides. Each plug-in box has 17 slots.
A BSC consists of the level-1 switching subsystem (BPSN), resource subsystem
(BUSN) and control subsystem (BCTC).
25 4.2 Level 1 Switching Subsystem(BPSN)

4.2.1 Overview

necessary data transmission channels for functional entities internal/external the
system, so as to implement the exchange of multiple data (Timing, signaling, voice
30 services and data services) and provide different customers with corresponding QoS
(Quality of Service) function according to the service requirements.

The level-1 switching subsystem adopts the high-speed switching of the backplanes.
The network processing modules will first decide the data forwarding route at the
5 physical interface, and then send the data to the switching network for exchange
through high-speed exchange and connection of the backplanes.
As the control bus inside the system that connects each module, the UIM switching
Ethernet bus completes distribution/collection of the routing information, system
configuration/maintenance/management, and transmission of the high-level protocol
10 and signaling data.
4.2.3 Hardware Structure

15 control panel Ethernet switching and other control functions;
2. PSN (Packet Switch Network): Active/standby mode. It implements the core
packet switching of the IP layer-3 between NP boards, providing several
versions such as the 10Gbps, 40Gbps and 80Gbps. It includes the PSN1V,
PSN4V and PSN8V;
20 3. GLI (GE Line Interface): Includes the GLIQV (GLI Quad Vitesse) and GLITV
(GLI Ten Vitesse).
For example, configurations of the level-1 switching shelves are shown in Figure 8
(take the PSN4V and GLIQV for example):

Figure 11 BCTC Working Principle

1. As the signaling switching center of the control subsystem, the UIM
15 implements the message exchange between modules and provides control
Ethernet channels for externally connecting the resource shelf ;
2. The MP board is the communication and control center, and by the software
function, it falls into the CMP, SMP, OMP, RMP, DSMP, RPU, HMP,
HBIMP, SPCF and SPDC with the same hardware. The OMP module provides
20 an OMM Ethernet interface that is used for connecting with the background.
3. As the control and maintenance center of the BSC, the CHUB implements
convergence and management of the control flows of the resource subsystem,
level-1 switching subsystem and control subsystem;
4. As the clock unit of the BSC, the CLKG implements synchronization of the
25 local NE with that of the higher level and receipt/distribution of the GPS clock
signals;
5. There can be one or more control subsystems according to the user capacity of
the BSC, but each NE should have only one pair of OMPs configured.
4.3.3 Hardware Structure

30 The following modules, CLKG, UIM, MP and GCM, can be configured in the
control subsystem. Of them, the CLKG and MP can be inserted in the resource shelf

5 4.3.4 Main Processor (MP)

The MP board serves as a communication control center, and by the software
function, it consists of CMP (Call Control Primary processing), SMP (Signaling
Main Processing ), OMP (Operation and Maintenance Processing), RMP (Resource
allocation Main Processing), DSMP (Dedicated Signaling Main Processing), RPU
10 (Routing Protocol Unit), HMP (High-Speed packet data Processing), HBIMP
(implementing the 1xEV-DO unicast, broadcast and IWS function), SPCF (high-
speed packet data service processing) and SPDC (Cluster service signaling
processing), and its hardware is totally the same.
With powerful processing performance, the MP provides abundant interfaces for
15 peripheral equipment including the IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics), 10/100Mbps
Ethernet, RS485, RS232 and USB (Universal Serial Bus) interfaces; attach types of
peripheral equipment through standard PCI bus, conduct the active/standby MP
changeover; provide the control register and data register where the functions or
switching status data can be configured through the main control software.
20 MP provides the following functions:
1. Adopts two sets of CPU subsystems that are almost the same, but mutually
independent. As connected to the UIM respectively through their control flow
Ethernet interfaces, they interconnect with other resource shelves and core
switching units to from the system control Ethernet communication links. The
25 MP processes the control and signaling data sent form other modules in the
shelf;
2. Provides a set of RS485 bus for backup of the control flow Ethernet to connect
to the UIM;
3. Ensures the active/standby working states of two MPs, including the power-on
30 initial state establishment and active/standby changeover, command
changeover, manual changeover, reset s changeover, fault changeover
(Watchdog overflow). It also informs the CPU of the corresponding status
changes. Two CPUs in the MP independently change over. Changeover of one
set does not affect the active/standby working status of the other one, in this
35 way, the two MPs in the active/standby mode can work together. However,
they are changed over to the standby board synchronously upon pressing the
RESET button;
4. Monitors the running condition of the two CPUs synchronously, such as the
data bus errors, and conducts corresponding processing according to the failure
40 level. Corresponding hardware should be reset and active/standby changeover
should be performed upon suspension of the MP. The hardware reports the
interruption message to the CPU and provides the failure source query register
upon discovering generic failures.

4.3.5 Control Panel Ethernet Interconnection Board (CHUB)

The CHUB is to connect the control panel Ethernet data stream of the Level-1
switching subsystem, resource subsystem, and distributed control subsystem. Each
subsystem supports up to four 100Mbps Ethernet interfaces for CHUB connection.
5 The CHUB is connected to the UIM via the GE interface and provides 46 100Mbps
Ethernet interfaces externally.
One or multiple pairs of CHUBs can be configured according to different BSC
system capacities.
4.3.6 Clock Generator (CLKG)

10 The CLKG (CLOCK Generator) considers the 8 KHz frame synchronous signals
from the DTB, 2MHZ/2Mbits from the BITS system, 8 KHz (PP2S, 16 CHIP) from
the GPSTM, or the 8KHz clock signals from the UIM as the local clock reference to
synchronize them with the clock of the higher level office.
Note: Each pair of CLKGs can provide 15 sets of system clocks externally;
15 therefore, CLKD (CLOCK Distributor) need to be configured if the BSC system
capacity exceeds the limitation.
The CLKD is simpler as compared with the CLKG. It receives a set of system
clocks form the CLKG and then drives them into multiple lines of clocks.
CLKG provides the following functions:
20 1. Communicates with the control console through the RS485 bus;
2. Selects the reference sources through the background or manual setting,
including the BITS, circuit (8KHz), GPS and local (level-2 or 3), and screens
the manual changeover via software;
3. The sequence for manual selection of the references: 2Mbits1-2Mbits2-
25 2MHz1-2MHz2-8K1-8K2-8K3-FREE;
4. There are four working modes: Fast capture, locked, holdover, and free-run;
5. Level-2 or 3 clocks can be output;
6. Provides the UIM with 15 channels of 16.384MHz, 8KHz and PP2S clocks;
7. Provides the T network with 10 channels of 32MHz, 64MHz and 8KHz clocks;
30 8. Judges the clock loss and input reference degradation;
9. Supports active/standby changeover function, including the command, manual,
failure, and reset changeover;
10. The discontinuity of clock phase between two CLKGs is less than 1/8UI code
element;
35 11. Provides complete alarming function, including the critical alarm function of
phase-lock loop frequency adjustment, constant temperature slot alarm, clock
interruption alarm and reference degrading alarm;
12. Supports clock maintainability.
4.3.7 GPS Control Module (GCM)

40 As the module that generates synchronous timing and frequency reference signals in
the CDMA system, GCM receives signals from the GPS satellite system, extracts
the 1PPS (One Pulse Per Second) and pilot signals, generates the PP2S,
19.6608MHz and 30MHz signals and relevant TOD (Time of Date) messages by
using the 1PPS signals as the phase-locking reference. It supports the 1+1
45 active/standby function.
An independent GPS plug-in box needs to be configured upon setting of a GPS
clock due to special features of the GPS clock module.

5.2 Function Description of OMM

It has the following functions:
15 z Configuration management
Manages various configurations in the current BSS. Any change of the
network/system/unit configurations occurred due to all the causes takes into effect
unless it is implemented through configuration management. The configuration
management involves the physical resource, radio resource and SS7 configuration.
20 z Performance management
Starts the performance measurement function of the BSS, collects/processes
measured data, and implements necessary network management control activities
according to the measurement result to improve overall performance of networks. It
includes traffic and signaling performance measurement, service quality

measurement, availability measurement, throughput measurement and handoff

function measurement.
z Fault Management
Falls into two parts, alarm management and diagnosis test. The alarm management
5 function serves to receive the detailed alarm information sent from network units in
the form of fault reports, and monitor the network status, such as the circuit group
status, network node status, signaling system status and the MSC area, registration
area and cell status. If any network abnormality is found, it will convert the
information into audible, visual and screen display alarms to inform the operators.
10 When an alarm occurs or the system performance becomes weak, the operator starts
the corresponding test program to perform fault diagnosis and locating test, as a
result, he/she can take proper maintenance measures to minimize the influence of the
fault on the network operation. For on-site replaceable component modules, the fault
cannot be located on more than three modules in terms of precision. The diagnosis
15 test may be the board test and inter-module communication link test.
z Security management
Prevents unauthorized persons from conducting deliberate or indeliberate damages
and modification via the background maintenance interface, and conducts necessary
restriction on the operation rights of the operator through different operation levels.
20 After the restriction operation, it integrates with the OS right management, thus
constructing the entire security system. It also contains the log management module,
for the afterwards analysis and location of the security problems.
z System tools
Includes the dynamic data management, service observation, serve database
25 monitoring program, data backup recovery tools and report tools, which provide
substantial suggestions for system optimization, thus achieving a good maintenance
effect by obtaining twice the result with half the effort.
5.3 Remote OMM

OMM supports multiple remote OMM modes, including E1, DDN (Digital Data
30 Network), PSTN, and X.25.
It supports either a single networking via E1/DDN/PSTN/X.25 or hybrid
networking.
Figure 14 Networking Modes of remote OMM
35 5.4 Networking Modes of OMC

There are two networking modes for the OMC (Operation Maintenance Center)
according to the actual NE quantity: 3-layer and 2-layer network structures. Of
them, the 3-layer structure is adopted upon requiring a great amount of NEs while 2-
layer one upon fewer NEs.

Figure 15 3-Layer Networking Structure of the OMC

The 3-layer networking architecture of the OMC is shown in Figure 15. The OMC is
composed of NE operation and maintenance (OMM), local-level OMC (LOMC),
5 and provincial level OMC (POMC).The LOMC and POMC can be the centralized
NM points, which is to say that the OMC_R (OMC for Radio side) and OMC_S
(OMC for Switch side) can be integrated or independently exist. The LOMC can
manage about ten NEs (one NE (Network Element) corresponds to an OMM) while
the POMC about 40 NEs.
10 The 2-layer networking structure can be adopted when constructing a POMC with
fewer NEs. As shown in Figure 16, the LOMC is omitted and the POMC is
constructed directly from the OMM.
