Figure 3-1 TDM networking mode
In the TDM networking mode, the RNC uses the PEUa and POUa as the Iub interface boards,and the NodeB uses the HBBU, NUTI, WMPT, and UTRP as the Iub interface boards. TheRNC and NodeBs support IP over E1/T1, which is based on Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy
(PDH) or Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH).
The TDM network ensures the reliability, security, and QoS of the Iub interface datatransmission, but the costs of E1 transport are relatively high.

Figure 3-2 IP networking mode
In the IP networking mode:
The FG2a or GOUa board of the RNC serves as the Iub interface board and supports board backup, FE/GE port backup, or FE/GE port load sharing.
The HBBU, NUTI, or WMPT board of the NodeB serves as the Iub interface board, andthe NodeB is connected to the IP network through FE port.
The IP network can be any of the following types:

3.1.3 Iub over Hybrid IP Transport Network
Figure 3-3 shows the hybrid IP networking mode.
Figure 3-3 Hybrid networking mode
In this networking mode:
The PEUa/POUa and FG2a/GOUa boards of the RNC serve as the Iub interface boardsand support FG2a/GOUa board backup, FE/GE port backup, or FE/GE port load sharing.
The POUa supports the board with Multiplex Section Protection (MSP) backup mode,and port wih MSP backup mode.
The NodeB is connected to the IP network through FE port and uses the HBBU, NUTI orWMPT as the Iub interface board.
The NodeB is connected to the TDM network through E1/T1 port and uses the HBBU, NUTI, UTRP, or WMPT as the Iub interface board.
In Hybrid IP transport, services with different QoS requirements can be transmitted in
different paths. The two paths from the RNC to the NodeB are connected to two differentnetworks through different ports, or through the same port that is connected to the external
data equipment according to Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP).
Low QoS network (IP network, such as Ethernet)The PS interactive and background services that have low QoS are carried on the lowQoS network. When the bandwidth of the low QoS network is limited, low QoS servicesare carried on the high QoS network.
High QoS network (TDM network, such as PDH and SDH)
The control plane data, Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, common channel data,Circuit Switched (CS) services, Packet Switched (PS) conversational services, and
streaming services are carried on the high QoS network. When the bandwidth of the high
QoS network is limited, the RNC reduces the rate of the low QoS services that arecarried on the high QoS network, or the RNC rejects the access of high QoS services ifno low QoS services are carried on the high QoS network.

The hybrid transport network is flexible in terms of meeting different QoS requirements, but it
is complicated to manage.
3.1.4 Iub over IP/ATM Network
With the development of data services, especially with the introduction of High Speed PacketAccess (HSPA), the Iub interface has an increasing demand for the bandwidth. A single ATM
network has high costs. IP transport saves the transmission cost but provides a lowerguarantee of QoS than ATM transport does. Therefore, the ATM/IP networking mode is
introduced. Services with different QoS requirements are transmitted on different types ofnetwork.
Figure 3-4 shows the ATM/IP networking mode.
Figure 3-4 ATM/IP networking mode
The ATM/IP networking mode allows hybrid transport of services with different QoS
requirements. High QoS services, such as voice services, streaming services, and signaling,are transmitted on the ATM network. Low QoS services, such as PS Best Effort (BE) services,
are transmitted on the IP network.
The ATM and IP interface boards of the RNC must be configured to support this networkingmode. The ATM interface board can be the AEUa, AOUa, or UOIa. The IP interface board can
be the FG2a, GOUa, UOIa, POUa, or PEUa.
The RNC is connected to the ATM network through the E1/T1 or STM-1 port.
The RNC is connected to the IP network through the FE/GE port.
The NodeB is connected to the ATM/IP networks through the ATM and IP interface boards
respectively. The ATM interface board can be the HBBU, NUTI, or WMPT. The IP interface
board can be the HBBU, NUTI, WMPT or UTRP.
The NodeB is connected to the high QoS ATM network through E1/T1 port.
The NodeB is connected to the low QoS IP network through FE port.
The NodeB cannot be connected to both the ATM network and the IP network simultaneously throughE1/T1 ports on the same board.
In the ATM/IP network, the ATM network ensures the QoS, while the IP network reduces the
transmission costs and fulfills the requirement of high-speed data services for high bandwidthon the Iub interface. On the other hand, the ATM/IP network requires the maintenance of both
the ATM and the IP networks; thus the maintenance is more complex and expensive.

Type Description
NCP An NCP carries common process messages of NBAP over the Iub interface. An
Iub interface has only one NCP.
CCP A CCP carries dedicated process messages of NBAP over the Iub interface. An
Iub interface may have multiple CCPs. The number of CCPs depends on network
planning.

The Signalling link mode of an SCTP link can be SERVER or CLIENT.
SCTP Link Configuration on the RNC side
Iub control plane data is carried on the SCTP link. An SCTP endpoint can use two local
addresses, but these two must use the same port number. This mechanism is calledmulti-homing.
In Iub IP transport, the Signalling link mode parameter has to be set to SERVER when you
configure an SCTP link on the RNC side.

3.2.6 Protocols of Data Link Layer
The protocols at the data link layer consist of Ethernet, PPP/MLPPP, MCPPP, and PPPMux.
Ethernet
Ethernet is a standard that was jointly released by Digital Equipment Corp., Intel Corp., and
Xerox in 1982. It is the most widely used Local Area Network (LAN) technology based on
TCP/IP and CSMA/CD access method.
The MAC addressing scheme of Ethernet helps to resolve the addressing problem of entitieswithin the Ethernet. Each MAC address has 48 bits and the addresses are assigned worldwide
under the same rule.
The earliest Ethernet packet encapsulation format complies with Ethernet 802.3 defined by
IEEE and the most common format now is Ethernet II specified by RFC0826. The NodeB andthe RNC can transmit frames in Ethernet II format and receive frames in Ethernet 802.3 andEthernet II formats.
PPP/MLPPP
The PPP provides standard methods for encapsulating the multi-protocol datagrams on
point-to-point links. These datagrams consist of IP, IPX, and Apple Talk.
MLPPP (MP) is used to combine multiple physical links into a logical link. Therefore, it
provides a relatively high bandwidth and facilitates quick data transfer. MLPPPimplementation is shown in Figure 3-13.

Figure 3-13 MLPPP implementation
MCPPP
MCPPP (MC) is an extension of the MLPPP protocol and provides more priorities. Packets
with a higher priority can interrupt the transmission of those with a lower priority. The MC protocol is implemented in compliance with RFC2686.
The bits, responsible for marking the priority of a packet, in the MLPPP header are not used
in the MLPPP protocol. These bits are the two bits after the E flag bit in the short sequence, orthe four bits after the E flag bit in the long sequence. Packets at each priority level have their
own MLPPP mechanism, for example, independent sequence number and reassembly queue.
The parameter on the RNC side is MLPPP type.
The parameter on the NodeB side is Multi Class PPP.
PPPMux
PPPMux encapsulates multiple PPP frames (also called subframes) in a single PPPMux frame.
The subframes in the PPPMux frame are distinguished by delimiters. PPPMux reduces PPPoverhead per packet and improves bandwidth efficiency. PPPMux is implemented incompliance with RFC3153.
The parameter on the RNC side is PPP mux.
The parameter on the NodeB side is PPP MuxCP.
3.3 IP Addresses and Routes of IP RAN
This section describes the IP addresses and routes that are required for running an IP RAN
network.
3.3.1 Two Networking Types on the Iub/Iur/Iu-CS/Iu-PSInterfaces
There are two types of networking on the Iub/Iur/Iu-CS/Iu-PS interfaces: layer 2 networking
and layer 3 networking.
Layer 2 Networking
Compared with layer 3 networking, layer 2 networking is simpler. That is because the port IP
addresses of the RNC, NodeB, and neighboring RNC, MGW and SGSN are located in the
same network segment and no route is required.

IP 1 and IP 2 are device IP addresses of the IP interface board. One interface board supports a
maximum of five device IP addresses. The device IP addresses configured on the same interface board cannot be located in the same subnet.
IP 3 and IP 4 are port IP addresses of the IP interface board.
IP 5 and IP 6 are gateway IP addresses on the RNC side.
IP 7 is the gateway IP address on the NodeB/neighboring RNC/MGW/SGSN side.
IP 8 is the IP address of the NodeB/neighboring RNC/MGW/SGSN.
3.3.2 Route on the Iub/Iur/Iu-CS/Iu-PS Interface
On the Iub/Iur/Iu-CS/Iu-PS interface where layer 2 networking is applied, no route is required.
On the Iub/Iur/Iu-CS/Iu-PS interface where layer 3 networking is applied, you shouldconfigure the route, as described in Table 3-3 on the RNC.
Table 3-3 Route on the Iub/Iur/Iu-CS/Iu-PS interface
Part Route Description
IP interface board The route travels from the RNC to the network segment where the NodeB/neighboring RNC/MGW/SGSN is located.
You can run the ADD IPRT command on the RNC to configure the
route. Destination IP address is the address of the network segment
where the NodeB/neighboring RNC/MGW/SGSN is located, and
Forward route address, for example, IP 5 or IP 6, is the gateway IP
address on the RNC side.

Figure 3-16 shows two interconnected BBUs on the NodeB side as an example. When two
BBUs are interconnected through the EIa ports, the two BBUs are regarded as one NodeB onthe RNC side. On the NodeB side, BBU1, which is connected to the transport network
between RNC and NodeB, is an active BBU, while BBU2 is a standby BBU. The IP addressesof the NodeB for communicating with the RNC are configured only on BBU1. The data of the
Iub interface is sent or received through the FE/E1 ports of BBU1, as shown in Figure 3-16.
You can specify the active BBU and standby BBU by setting the Dual-In-line Package (DIP) switch.
For detailed information about the DIP switch, see the description of the DIP switch on the
BBU3806 or DIP switch on the BBU3806C in the DBS3800 Hardware Description.
Figure 3-16 shows the settings of the IP addresses for the SCTP links and the IP paths for NodeB
V100R010. For NodeB V200R010 version, the settings are the same as those for NodeB V100R010.The only difference is that, for NodeB V200R010, there are no interconnected BBUs.
IP1-0 and IP 2-0 are configured as the first local IP address and the second local IP
address respectively for the SCTP links on the NodeB side. IP1-1 and IP2-1 areconfigured accordingly on the RNC side. The first local IP address and the second local

Table 3-5 describes the differentiated service process. The classification and adjustment oftraffic usually happen at the network edge.
Table 3-5 Differentiated service process
Operation Description
Classifying the service Traffic classification enables different types of services that are
implemented by setting different values.
Metering The data rate is metered and thesubsequent shaping and schedulingare based on the metering.
Marking The packets are marked with
different colors according to TrafficConditioning Agreement (TCA).
Shaping The packets in the traffic flow are
delayed as required by the servicemodel.
Adjustingthe service
Dropping Non-TCA-supportive packets are
dropped.
The adjustment ofservice ensures that the
traffic flow involvingdifferentiated servicescomplies with TCA.
3.4.3 PQ and RL
The principles of PQ and RL are considered together. The PQs are configured automatically inthe NodeB. When the actual bandwidth exceeds the specified bandwidth, the system buffersthe congested data or discards it to ensure a specified bandwidth at the physical port. When
the physical port is congested, the system discards the message with lower priority according
to the PQ principle.
Table 3-6 describes the rules for PQs based on the three Most Significant Bits (MSBs) of the
DSCP.

3.5 IP RAN VLANVirtual Local Area Network (VLAN) enhances the IP transport security. Besides, VLAN
provides the priority service and isolates different users.
3.5.1 Ensuring Security
Compared with the TDM network, the IP network has relatively low security. VLANcombined with Virtual Private Network (VPN), however, ensures the IP transport security.Figure 3-18 shows the VLAN and VPN implementation. The security of VLANs is
implemented at the NodeB and the RNC, and that of the VPNs is implemented by external
equipment.

3.5.2 Providing Priority Service
Figure 3-19 shows a typical example of the VLAN solution on the VLAN on the Iub interface.
In this solution, the Multi-Service Transmission Platform (MSTP) network provides twoEthernets carried on two Virtual Channel (VC) trunks, respectively.
One Ethernet is a private network for the real-time services of multiple NodeBs withoutthe influence of other customers. This Ethernet is used to carry services of high priority.
The other Ethernet is a public network for the non-real-time services of multiple NodeBs
and can be shared with other customers. The services are prone to the influence of othercustomers. Thus, this Ethernet is used to carry services of low priority.
Figure 3-19 Typical solution of the VLAN on Iub
Red line: private network
Blue line: public network
Black line: connection between the routers
The VLANID Flag parameter indicates whether VLAN is enabled or not. The NodeB and theRNC identify the service QoS through Vlan priority in the VLAN tag. Each NodeB or theRNC provides an Ethernet port to connect to the MSTP network. The MSTP transmits the
Ethernet data to either of the VC trunks according to Vlan priority in the VLAN tag. Each
VC trunk supports up to two QoS classes. In the same VC trunk, the data of different NodeBsis identified by different VLAN ID parameters.
The VLAN tag contains a 2-byte Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID) and a 2-byte Tag Control
Information (TCI).
TPID is defined by the IEEE and is used to indicate that the frame is attached with an
802.1Q tag. VLAN TPID has a fixed value 0x8100.
TCI contains the frame control information and consists of the following items:
− Priority: a 3-bit field that indicates the frame priority. The eight values, from 0 to 7,represent eight priorities. The priority field is defined in the IEEE 802.1Q protocol.
− Canonical Format Indicator (CFI): a 1-bit field. The value 0 indicates the canonical
format and 1 indicates the non-canonical format. CFI specifies the bit sequence of theaddress contained in the encapsulated frame in the token ring or source route FDDI
media access method.

− VLAN Identifier (VLAN ID): a 12-bit field that indicates the VLAN ID. It represents4096 IDs. The frame, which complies with 802.1Q, contains this field and indicateswhich VLAN the frame belongs to.
The NodeB attaches VLAN tags to the frames that are sent from the Ethernet port, but does
not attach VLAN tags to the frames that are received from the Ethernet port.
When the NodeB supports the VLAN, it attaches diverse tags to different traffic flows to
enable the traffic flow transmission in different VLAN channels.
The parameters on the NodeB side are as follows:
Traffic Type
User Data Service Priority
Insert VLAN Tag
Vlan Id
Vlan priority
On the RNC side, the NodeB detection function can be started through the MML command STR NODEBDETECT in order to periodically send the VLAN IDs to the NodeBs. By this means, when a
new NodeB is set up or a NodeB recovers from the fault, the NodeB can automatically obtain its VLANID from the RNC.
3.6 IP RAN FP-Mux
Frame Protocol Multiplexing (FP-Mux) encapsulates multiple small FP PDU frames (alsocalled subframes) into a UDP package, thus improving the transport efficiency. FP-Mux is
only applicable to the user plane data on the Iub interface based on UDP/IP.
Figure 3-20 shows the UDP/IP package format when FP-Mux is applied.
Figure 3-20 FP-Mux UDP/IP package format
To enable FP-Mux, the FPMUX flag parameter has to be set to YES. Max subframe length
indicates the maximum length of the subframe. Maximum Frame Length indicates the

FP-Mux is applicable to frames with the same priority, that is, frames of the same DSCP value.
3.7 IP RAN Header Compression
Header compression is used to reduce protocol header overhead of point-to-point links and toimprove bandwidth efficiency.
The RNC and the NodeB support the following three header compression methods:
Address and Control Field Compression (ACFC)
Protocol Field Compression (PFC)
IP Header Compression (IPHC)
3.7.1 ACFC
ACFC, which complies with RFC 1661, is used to compress the address and control fields of
PPP protocol. These fields usually contain constant values for PPP links. It is unnecessary totransport the whole fields every time. If ACFC passes the negotiation during the PPP Link
Control Protocol (LCP), the address and control fields (0xFF03) of subsequent packets can becompressed.
3.7.2 PFC
PFC, which complies with RFC 1661, is used to compress the protocol field of PPP. PFC cancompress the 2-byte protocol field into a 1-byte one.
The compression complies with the ISO3309 extension mechanism, that is, a binary 0 in theLeast Significant Bit (LSB) indicates that the protocol field contains two bytes, and the other
byte follows this byte. And a binary 1 in the LSB indicates that the protocol field contains one byte, and this byte is the last one. The majority of packets are compressible, because the
protocol fields assigned are usually less than 256.
3.7.3 IPHC
IPHC, which complies with RFC 2507 and RFC 3544, is used to compress the IP/UDP headerof PPP links. IPHC improves bandwidth efficiency in the following two ways:
The unchanged header fields in packet (IP/UDP) headers are not carried by each packet.
The header fields that vary with specified modes are replaced with fewer bits.
The header context is established on both ends of a link when packets with complete headers
are sent occasionally. Thus the compressed packets can retrieve their original headersaccording to the context and the changed fields.
The parameter on the RNC side is Head compress.
The parameter on the NodeB side is IP Header Compress.

3.8 IP RAN Redundancy
IP RAN Redundancy discusses the redundancy mechanism on the RNC side. The redundancyof IP RAN helps to improve the reliability of IP transport. On the NodeB side, for distributed
NodeBs, the interconnection of two BBUs can enhance the baseband processing capability butcannot support the transmission backup.
3.8.1 Single-Homing Layer 3 Networking
In the single-homing layer 3 networking, the FG2a or GOUa board of the RNC serves as theinterface board and supports board backup and FE/GE port backup.
Figure 3-21 shows the single-homing layer 3 networking. The FE/GE ports on the RNC servethe IP transport.
Figure 3-21 Single-homing layer 3 networking
In this networking mode, the FE/GE ports of the RNC are configured for backup. The activeand standby FE/GE ports of the RNC are connected to the Provider Edge (PE), which are
further connected to the IP network. The active and standby FE/GE ports of the RNC shareone IP address, IP 1-0. The PE configures the active and standby ports of the RNC in one
VLAN and uses one interface IP address of the VLAN, IP 1-1.
The GE optical ports on the GOUa board are applicable when the RNC is far away from the PE, and theFE/GE electrical ports on the FG2a board are applicable when the distance between the RNC and the PE
is within 100 m.
3.8.2 Dual-Homing Layer 3 Networking
In the dual-homing layer 3 networking, the FG2a or GOUa board of the RNC serves as theinterface board and supports board backup and FE/GE port backup.
Figure 3-22 shows the dual-homing layer 3 networking. The FE/GE ports on the RNC serve
the IP transport.

Figure 3-22 Dual-homing layer 3 networking
In this networking mode, the FE/GE ports of the RNC are configured for backup. The activeand standby FE/GE ports of the RNC are connected to two PEs, which are further connectedto the IP network. Complying with the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), the two
PEs provide redundancy-based protection for the data transmitted from the RNC. One PEconnects to the other through two GE ports. Link Aggregation (LAG) is applied to the
interconnection links between the PEs to increase the bandwidth and reliability of the links.The active and standby FE/GE ports of the RNC share one IP address, IP 1-0. The PEs
configure the active and standby ports of the RNC in one VLAN and use one virtual VRRP IPaddress, IP 1-1.
The GE optical ports on the GOUa board are applicable when the RNC is far away from the PE, and theFE/GE electrical ports on the FG2a board are applicable when the distance between the RNC and the PE
is within 100 m.
3.8.3 Advantages and Disadvantages of the Networking
Single-homing layer 3 networking provides redundancy-based protection for FE/GE links.
The single PE saves the networking costs, but cannot provide PE-level protection.
Dual-homing layer 3 networking provides redundancy-based protection not only for FE/GE
links, but also for PE devices. But the dual PEs have high networking costs.
3.8.4 Configuration on the RNC Side
To support the backup of the interface board, the Backup parameter has to be set to YES.
The parameters on the RNC side are as follows:
Board type
Backup
When the interface board is set to the backup mode, run the ADD ETHREDPORT command
to set the backup mode of the associated ports.
The parameter involved is Port No..

3.8.5 Fault Detection
In addition to the UP/DOWN detection performed at the physical link layer, the fault
detection between the RNC and the Provider Edge (PE) involves the Bidirectional ForwardingDetection (BFD) and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) detection. The BFD or ARP
detection are applied on the layer 3 (L3) detection, which can also detect other faults, such assoft transfer. When the BFD or ARP detection finds a fault, the switchover between FE/GE ports will be triggered. The application of the BFD or ARP detection can increase the fault
detection rate and enhance the reliability. The BFD is preferred since it has a quick and
bidirectional detection.
The ARP detection is used only when the peer equipment does not support the BFD, because theARP detection is unidirectional.
The ARP message is a broadcast message; therefore, if there is a relatively large L2 broadcast
domain between the RNC and the L3 equipment, a broadcast storm may easily occur. But if theRNC and the L3 equipment are directly connected, a broadcast storm never occurs.
The following tables describe the parameters of the Fault Detection:
Gateway IP address
Backup port IP address
Backup port mask
Backup port gateway IP address
Check type
Port work mode
Min interval of BFD packet send [ms]
Min interval of BFD packet receive [ms]
detect multiplier of BFD packet
3.9 IP RAN Load Sharing
IP RAN load sharing improves the transport efficiency of IP RAN. Load sharing betweenFE/GE ports of the RNC is applicable to layer 3 networking between the RNC and other NEs,
instead of layer 2 networking.
3.9.1 Load Sharing Layer 3 Networking
The RNC supports load sharing between FE/GE ports that are located either on the same board or on the active and standby boards. The RNC supports load sharing between up to
three FE/GE ports.
Figure 3-23 shows the load sharing layer 3 networking of IP RAN. If there are two ports forload sharing, they are located on the active and standby boards.

Figure 3-23 Load sharing layer 3 networking
In this scenario, the FG2a or GOUa board of the RNC serves as the interface board, andsupports board backup and FE/GE port apart.
The two FE/GE ports on the active and standby boards are configured with IP addresses of
different network segments, IP 1-0 and IP 2-0. The PE configures the corresponding IPaddresses, IP 1-1 and IP 2-1. The data to the destination IP address is shared by the two routes.
The load sharing ports on the RNC can be connected to one PE or two different PEs.
3.9.2 Advantage and Disadvantage of the Networking
In the load sharing layer 3 networking, the data traffic is shared by the ports to avoid the
occasion when some ports are busy while others are idle, thus improving the transmission
efficiency. This network solution, however, does not provide redundancy for data transmission.A port failure will lead to the decline of transmission capacity.
3.9.3 Configuration on the RNC SideTo support the load sharing between the ports located on the active and standby boards, theBackup parameter should be set to NO. For detailed information about the parameters, see3.8 IP RAN Redundancy.
For details about board redundancy, port redundancy, and port load sharing, refers to RNC Parts
