    l When the external PCU is used, the interface processing subsystem provides the Pb

    interface to enable the communication between the BSC and the PCU.

    The interface processing subsystem of the BSC cannot provide the Gb interface and Pb interface

    simultaneously.

    The interface processing subsystem supports different transmission modes over the A interface:

    l When the IP transmission is used, the A interface enables the communication between the

    BSC and the MGW.

    l When the TDM transmission is used, the A interface enables the communication between

    the BSC and the MSC/MGW.

    The interface processing subsystem of the BSC does not support the two transmission modes

    simultaneously.

    5 BSC Hardware ConfigurationAbout This Chapter

    The GBAM and GOMU are the operation and maintenance entities of the BSC. There are two

    types of BSC hardware configuration: configuration type A and configuration type B. In

    configuration type A, the BSC is configured with the GBAM. In configuration type B, the BSC

    is configured with the GOMU. One BSC can use only one configuration type.

    5.1 BSC Hardware Configuration

    This describes three types of BSC subracks, two installation modes of the GTCS, three

    combination modes of BSC subracks, two types of PCU, and two types of hardware

    configuration.

    5.2 BSC Hardware Configuration Type A

    The BSC hardware configuration type A refers to the BSC configured with the GBAM, which

    enables the communication between the BSC and the LMT. The number of BSC cabinets and

    BSC subracks varies with the capacity requirements for the BSC.

    5.3 BSC Hardware Configuration Type B

    In BSC hardware configuration type B, the BSC is configured with the GOMU, which enables

    the communication between the BSC and the LMT. The number of BSC cabinets and BSC

    subracks varies with the capacity requirements for the BSC.

    5.1 BSC Hardware Configuration

    This describes three types of BSC subracks, two installation modes of the GTCS, three

    combination modes of BSC subracks, two types of PCU, and two types of hardware

    configuration.

    BSC Subrack

    The BSC subracks can be classified into the following types:

    l GMPS

    l GEPS

    l GTCS

    Generally, both the GMPS and GEPS are referred to as the BM subrack, and the GTCS is referredto as the TC subrack.

    Both the BM subracks and the TC subracks have two interconnection modes.

    l Inter-Subrack TDM Interconnections

    The inter-subrack TDM interconnections between one BM subrack and another BM

    subrack and between one TC subrack and another TC subrack are established through the

    inter-GTNU cables. 6.1 Physical Structure of the BSC TDM Switching Subsystem

    l Inter-Subrack GE Interconnections

    The GSCUs in the BM subracks or in the TC subracks are connected in star topology

    through crossover cable or unshielded straight-through cable. The subrack located in thecenter of the star topology is referred to as the main subrack, and the subracks connected

    to the main subrack are referred to as extension subracks. For the inter-subrack GE

    interconnection of BM subracks, the GMPS must be the main subrack, and the GEPS must

    be the extension subrack. For the inter-subrack GE interconnection of TC subracks, any

    TC subrack can be the main subrack, and the other TC subracks must be extension subracks.

    7.1 Physical Structure of the BSC GE Switching Subsystem

    Installation Modes of the GTCS

    The installation modes of the GTCS are classified into local configuration and remote

    configuration based on the location of the GTCS.

    In local configuration mode, the GTCS and the GMPS/GEPS can be configured in the same

    cabinet. In this case, the GSCU in the GMPS and the GSCU in the GTCS are connected through

    crossover cables or unshielded straight-through cable.

    In remote configuration mode, the GTCS and the GMPS/GEPS are configured in different

    subracks. In other words, the GTCSs are configured in an independent GBSR. In this case, the

    GSCU in the GMPS is not connected to the GSCU in the GTCS.

    l Figure 5-1 shows the OM path between the GMPS and the GTCS in the case of the local

    configuration mode.

    l

    Figure 5-2 shows the OM path between the GMPS and the GTCS in the case of the remoteconfiguration mode.

    As shown in Figure 5-1, when OM is performed on the local GTCS, the OM information is

    carried by the GE link between the GSCU in the GMPS and the GSCU in the main GTCS. The

    transmission rate is fast.

    As shown in Figure 5-2, when OM is performed on the remote GTCS, the OM information is

    carried by the E1/T1 link between the GEIUT/GOIUT in the GMPS and the GEIUT/GOIUT in

    the main GTCS. The transmission rate is slow.

    The application scenarios of the local GTCS and remote GTCS are as follows: If the distance

    between the GSCU in the GMPS and the GSCU in the main GTCS exceeds the maximum length

    of a crossover cable or a unshielded straight-through cable, the remote GTCS should be

    configured. Otherwise, the local GTCS should be configured. The maximum length of the cables

    delivered on site is 10 m.

    Configuration Modes of BSC Subracks

    The BSC subracks support the following configuration modes:

    40/172

    l BM/TC separated

    In BM/TC separated configuration mode, the BSC consists of the GMPS/GEPS and GTCS.

    The GTCS can be configured on the BSC side or on the MSC side.

    Characteristics: In this configuration mode, the GTCS can be configured flexibly. The

    GTCS can be configured in an independent GBSR on the MSC side, thus saving thetransmission resources between the BSC and the MSC. The GTCS can be configured on

    the BSC side and share a cabinet with other subracks.

    l BM/TC combined

    In BM/TC combined configuration mode, the TC function is performed by the GMPS or

    GEPS. When the TC is configured in the GMPS, the subrack is still referred to as the GMPS.

    When the TC is configured in the GEPS, the subrack is still referred to as the GEPS. In

    BM/TC combined configuration mode, the TC function is performed by the GDPUX.

    Characteristics: Compared with the BM/TC separated configuration mode, the BSC in BM/

    TC combined configuration mode has a high density of integration. In addition, when the

    capacity is the same, the BSC in BM/TC combined configuration mode has fewer cabinets

    and subracks.

    l A over IP

    In A over IP configuration mode, the BSC consists of the GMPS/GEPS and is not

    configured with the GTCS. In this case, layer 3 of the A interface protocol stack uses IP,

    and the TC function is performed by the MGW. Thus, the GTCS is not required.

    Characteristics: In A over IP configuration mode, the BSC has few cabinets and subracks.

    In this case, the BSC must be connected to the Huawei MGW.

    Types of PCU

    The BSC supports two types of PCU: built-in PCU and external PCU.

    l The external PCU is an independent network element that provides PS service processing

    functions. It communicates with the BSC over the Pb interface, and communicates with

    the SGSN over the Gb interface.

    Characteristics: The external PCU requires a large floor area and is difficult for installation

    and maintenance.

    l The built-in PCU is the GDPUP, which provides PS service processing functions. The

    GDPUP is configured in the GMPS/GEPS.

    Application scenario: Compared with the external PCU, the built-in PCU is a board that

    can be installed in a BSC subrack. The built-in PCU features small footprint, easy cabling,

    and convenient installation and maintenance.

    The requirements for the configuration of the PCU vary with the transmission modes over the

    Abis interface.

    l When the HDLC protocol is used for layer 2 or the IP protocol is used for layer 3 of the

    protocol stack on the Abis interface, the BSC must use the built-in PCU.

    l If TDM transmission is used over the Abis interface, the BSC can use either the built-in

    PCU or the external PCU.

    BSC Hardware Configuration Types

    The BSC supports two types of server: GBAM and GOMU. The GBAM/GOMU enables thecommunication between the Local Maintenance Terminal and the BSC.

    l The GBAM is independent from the BSC components. It is connected to the GSCU in the

    GMPS through the FE/GE port. If the GBAM is used, it is configured in subrack 0 of the

    GBCR.

    Characteristics: The GBAM occupies the space of one subrack in the GBCR. In addition,

    the cable connections for the GBAM are complex.l The GOMU is a type of board in the BSC. One GOMU occupies two slots. The GOMU

    should be installed in slots 00 to 03 or slots 20 to 23 or slots 24 to 27 in the GMPS.

    Characteristics: Compared with the GBAM, the GOMU requires a small installation space.

    In addition, the GOMU features simple cable connection and easy installation and

    maintenance.

    The BSC hardware configuration is classified into configuration type A and configuration type

    B based on the server used.

    l In configuration type A, the BSC is configured with the GBAM.

    l

    In configuration type B, the BSC is configured with the GOMU. Compared withconfiguration type A, the BSC in configuration type B can save a subrack. In addition, the

    cable connection is simple and the installation and maintenance is easy.

    5.2 BSC Hardware Configuration Type A

    The BSC hardware configuration type A refers to the BSC configured with the GBAM, which

    enables the communication between the BSC and the LMT. The number of BSC cabinets and

    BSC subracks varies with the capacity requirements for the BSC.

    5.2.1 BM/TC Separated (Configuration Type A)

    In the BM/TC separated (configuration type A), the BSC is configured with the GBAM, and the

    BM and TC are configured in different subracks. The following describes the maximum,

    minimum, and recommended configurations.

    5.2.2 BM/TC Combined (Configuration Type A)

    In the BM/TC combined (configuration type A), the BSC is configured with the GBAM, and

    the BM and TC are configured in the same subrack. The following describes the maximum,

    minimum, and recommended configurations.

    5.2.3 A over IP (Configuration Type A)

    In the A over IP (configuration type A), the BSC is configured with the GBAM, and IP

    transmission is used on the A interface. The following describes the maximum, minimum, and

    recommended configurations.

    5.2.1 BM/TC Separated (Configuration Type A)

    In the BM/TC separated (configuration type A), the BSC is configured with the GBAM, and the

    BM and TC are configured in different subracks. The following describes the maximum,

    minimum, and recommended configurations.

    Minimum Configuration

    In the minimum configuration, the BSC is configured with one GMPS, one GTCS, and one

    GIMS. In this case, the BSC supports 512 TRXs. The number of cabinets to be configured varieswith the location of the GTCS.
