Abis/Iub interface IP protocol termi- nation and NAT conversion are implemented at CC. The data is then converted to internal IP datagram and transmitted to baseband board (UBPG/BPC) through the Gigabit Ethernet (GE). The baseband board performs modulation, multiplexing, and rate adaptation for the internal IP datagram, and trans- mits it to the 1Q switching unit of FS. Then, on the 1Q switching unit of FS, de-multiplexing, interleaving, frame forming, and parallel-serial conversion are implemented, Finally, the inter nal IP datagram is distributed to RU through the baseband-RF interface (optical interface). O note: If Abis/lub interface adopts E1/T1 interface, then signal trans- ferring and protection are implemented through the SA board. If Abis/lub interface adopts GE interface, then connect with the CC board directly. Uplink direction: The 1Q switching unit of FS receives base~ band signals from RU, performs de-multiplexing for them, and then transmits them ‘to baseband board through high-speed serial signals. The baseband board then performs demodula- tion for them to get the original service signals. These signals are packaged into Ethernet frames, transmitted to the switch- ing center through GE, and processed according to Abis/Iub interface transmission protocols on the CC board. Finally, they are transmitted to BSC/RNC through E1/T1/GE. ‘Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 65ZXSOR BTS Structure and Principle TIE 4.3.2 System Control Signal Flow The CC board implements the main control function.

Figure 52 shows the maintenance system network- ing of SDR. FIGURE 52 GERAN MAINTENANCE NETWORKING sce ‘Local Client ‘Remote Client ‘OLMT J or = Remote maintenance(Remote Client) In remote maintenance, NetNumen M31, the general radio Network Element (NE) management system, is connected with OMM of BSC/RNC, and then connected with the base station thraugh Abis interface or Iub interface to implement operation and maintenance = Local maintenance(LMT) In local maintenance, PC is directly connected with the base station through Ethernet cable to implement operation and maintenance {Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 83EXSDR BTS Structure and Principle TIE 6.2 Maintenance Functions In NetNumen M31, the O&M interface of remote maintenance sys- tem is in the form of topological graphics. Information of each NE in the network can be viewed on the interface. Users can select the NE to be maintained and check its performance data, alarm information, and configuration data. Users can also perform main= tenance for'a certain type of NEs through the topological graphics interface, ‘The maintenance system performs the functions is shown in Figure 53. FIGURE 53 EMS FUNCTIONS = Configuration management In configuration management, physical/radio resource data can be added, queried, deleted, and modified for the base station, It also performs data consistency check, and supports dynamic data configuration and static data configuration = Security management It guarantees that only authorized users can perform relevant command group operations. = Performance management Itimplements performance analysis, call tracing, and signaling tracing = Version management With version management, users can view hardware/software versions running at the foreground. The background provides a software downloading system for software upgrade at the foreground. = Fault management 30 ‘Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATIONTIER Chapter 6 SDR Operation and Maintenance Fault management includes alarm management and diagnosis and test. It performs centralized monitoring of running sta~ tus of the base station and collects abnormal information of boards and links in real time, These functions make it con- venient for operation and maintenance personnel to perform analysis, make decision, and implement maintenance and re- pair. ‘Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 51.
