HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

The BSC6900 is an important network


element of Huawei Single RAN solution. It
adopts the industry-leading multiple radio
access technologies, IP transmission
mode, and modular design. The BSC6900
can be flexibly configured as a BSC6900
GSM, BSC6900 UMTS, or BSC6900 GU
as required in different networks.

Reference Clock for the MPS or EPS

The reference clocks are provided by the GCUa. The reference clocks generate
8kHz clock signals through the GCUa.

MPS: The clock signals are sent to the SCUa in the MPSa subrack through the
backplane. Then, the clock signals are sent to other boards in the same subrack.

EPS: The clock signals are sent to the SCUa board in the EPSa subrack through the
clock cable. Then, the signals are sent to other boards through the backplane.

Reference Clock for the TCS

Each TCS extracts line clock from the A interface. The line clock is processed
through A interface panel and then generates 8 KHz clock signals.

The clock signals are sent to the SCUa in the subrack through the backplane. Then

Interconnection Between SCUa

Active/standby SCUa boards: HiG interconnection; 30G bandwidth.

Intra-subrack : The SCUa board provides 48G GE switching capability


through backplane.

Inter-subrack : The SCUa boards are connected in star topology


through intercross cable using the GE ports on SCUa.

Clock Synchronization Interconnection

The connection of the GCUa of the main


subrack and the extension subrack is
shown:

The active and standby GCUa output 10-way


signal channel respectively. A signal channel of
an active GCUa and that of a standby GCUa
are integrated through the Y-shaped cable.

Any of component including GCUa, Y-shaped


cable, and SCUa is faulty, the system clock
still can work normally.
