One of the BSCs sharing the ETPC sees the ETPC as a functional unit and terminates the
ETPSIG-m
In combined BSC3i/TCSM3i installation the BSC that terminates the ETPSIG-m is the master
BSC
The other BSCs see the ETPC as a resource to be used with a certain TCSM functional unit
There are ETPSIG-c connections between ETPC and each BSC using the resources

ETPT decompress the packet headers if needed.
ETPT demultiplexes the RTP packets, if needed.
In a case where Transcoder is located in BSS (it is either in
BSC or it is standalone Transcoder) ETPT converts the RTP
packets to Ater/TRAU frames and sends them to GSWB.
ETPT adds buffer delay to ensure that variation (jitter) in packet
arrival time does not normally cause missing frames on the Ater
interface.
In a case where Transcoder is located in MGW, ETPT sends
the RTP packets to the correct ETPA which sends them further
to MGW.

ETPE demultiplexes the RTP packets, if needed.
In a case where Transcoder is located in BSS (it is either in
BSC or it is standalone Transcoder) ETPE converts the RTP
packets to Ater/TRAU frames and sends them to GSWB.
ETPE adds buffer delay to ensure that variation (jitter) in
packet arrival time does not normally cause missing frames on
the Ater interface.
In a case, where Transcoder is located to MGW ETPE sends
the RTP packets to the correct ETPA which sends them further
to MGW.
(in case of Packet Abis over TDM) or from ETPE (in case of
Packet Abis over Ethernet) via the EEP interface.
ETPA identifies the CS connection based on the UDP port
number where the UL CS-U-plane RTP packets are received
(there is a separate UDP port number for each CS connection).

Bicasting in ETPA
ETPA supports bicasting functionality for the CS call when intra-BSC
handover is performed so that there is no change in the A interface
connection.
Bi-casting in BSS is possible only if codec type and channel mode
are not changed during Intra-BSC handovers, but here are following
exceptions:
Bi-casting in GSWB: FR_AMR <-> HR_AMR is possible using Dual rate TRAUfeature.
Bi-casting in ETPA: FR_AMR <-> HR_AMR is possible, if compatible codec
types and codec configuration are used in source and target side.
The length of the Packet Abis packet does not exceed the Maximum
Multiplexing packet size parameter value
The wait time for any CS U-plane RTP packet does not exceed the
Maximum Multiplexing wait time on ETP parameter value
Number of Frames per packet is maximized, within the above
constraints
For FR/EFR/HR codec SID frames on the Downlink which are received
every 20 mSec ETPT/ETPE shall send the first SID frame following the
latest speech frame (i.e. the first frame with SP=0 shall be sent) and
after that ETPT/ETPE shall send every 8th SID frame. ETPT/ETPE
shall not send the other SID frames (i.e. the other DL SID frames are
deleted)
The next frame, that is sent to DL direction after some DL SID frames
have been deleted, shall have the next unused RTP sequence number
and a timestamp which ETPT/ETPE has incremented by the correct
number of 20 mSec periods.

ETPE takes the RTP payload (i.e. the Packet Abis PCU
Frame) out of the received PS U-plane IP packet.
By using its look-up tables ETPE retrieves the PEP ID
association for the packet
ETPE sends the received Packet Abis PCU Frame to PCU2D/E with the necessary address information via the correct
HDLC link or via the correct Ethernet link.

Introduction
This document summaries technical findings and tips learnt in
RG20 pilots
This document aims to help new RG20 projects to let them
avoid and overcome some of the issues faced in piloting
phase
BSC
ETP/
ETP-A
While upgrade of ETP it must be ensured that both flashes are working fine (this can be
checked by ZWDM MML command for active and stand by flash or ssv 1 and ssv 2
output on ETP service terminal). Also ensure to upgrade the SW in both the flashes
while downloading new SW into ETP. Avoid restarting the ETP with C=TOT option as
this results in flash switchover and incase the back up flash is not fine the card gets
stuck. The recovery for this is to physically jack out and jack in the card since physical
jack out and jack in brings the card from the active flash.
BSC
ETP/
ETP-A
While configuring etpsig-m for active and redundant ETPE/T/A ensure that the GW
BCSU is the same. This is to avoid problems during switchovers and restarts.
BSC
ETP/
ETP-A
The electrical SFP type of the EL0 interface shall be the FCLF-8520-3. The FCLF-85203 uses the SFPs RX_LOS pin for link indication. The link indication is needed for
interface and equipment redundancy i.e. to trigger switchover if theres a failure in the
Ethernet interface.
The FCLF-8521-3 does not have a link indication feature (RX_LOS is internally
grounded).
BSC
ETP/
ETP-A
If electrical (copper) EL0 cabling is in use the Autoneg setting in the other peer (external
switch port) shall be ON (dublex auto, speed auto).
If optical (fibre) EL0 cabling is in use the Autoneg setting in the other peer (external
switch port) shall be OFF.
ETP/
ETP-A
With equipment protection normally the both ETPE/T/C units of a pair are in WO-EX
state. The other is active and the other is idle. The controlled way to make a switch
over is to change the active unit to BL. Then the active unit goes to BL-EX and after the
calls are transferred to the pair the unit goes to BL-ID and the other unit of the pair
takes the WO-EX active role.
BTS
PAoETH
PAoTDM
Differing from the default BTS SCF values for the OMUSIG SCTP signaling protocol,
the Selective Acknowledgement period has to be configured to 110ms (same as in
BSC).
BSC
PAoETH
PAoTDM
As default SCTP bundling is in use for OMUSIG and TRXSIGs. Because of bundling
delay the BTS level parameter SLO (number of timeslots to spread retransmissions)
must be changed from 10 to SLO=32.
If mirroring is configured to take Wireshark logs from ports of a BSC internal LAN switch

BSC does not supervise the e-2-e user plane of AoIP (both TC in MGW and TC in
BSS) is not supervised. If NSN MGW is in use turn the RTCP u-plane supervision
OFF. When integrating the ETPA/C unit remember to ping the other peer (i.e. MGW
u-plane address).

the MS makes an intraBSC HO from Packet Abis cell to a legacy Abis cell (the call has been set
up with AoIP).
the MS makes an interBSC HO (or interSystem HO) to a legacy Abis cell and MSS first tries to
use AoIP for the call. The call is re-attempted with an AoTDM circuit.
This BSS internal HO with MSS support is needed to change the A-if type used for
the call.

SIGTRAN subnets are advertised towards core network but TRXSIG and OMUSIG not.
To support separate global and local routing tables in multilayer site switch (MLS) it is
advisable to create separate VLANs in L3 interface between SWU and MLS for
SIGTRAN and OMU/TRXSIG.

Traffic scheduling activation assumes valid value for DLCIR parameter even the
given parameter is relevant only for Ethernet and not for ML-PPP. As a workaround
apply: DLCIR = ML-PPP capacity.
BSC/BTS
HC
In S15 you cannot have Header Compression ON in one direction. So, there is
nothing like HC enabled in UL only or HC enabled in DL only. It has to be enabled
in both sides ( from BSC and BCF) and then BCF and HDLC link lock unlock to be
performed.
BSC
HDLC
In case the associations for certain PAoTDM sites go down. The work around for
this is to lock and unlock the HDLC links followed ETPT switchover.
BSC
ML PPP
bundle
A Packet Abis over TDM feature specific PRFILE shall be installed to change the
value of PRFILE parameter PCM_MAINT_ANNOUNCE_TL (parameter ID Class
10, id 4) from ten to five seconds. This makes the ETPT to react faster if a single
E1/T1 link of a MLL PPP bundle fails.
