UMTS Network
TM51108EN03GLA3
1.1
Basics
According to 3GPP Recommendation TS23 002 (Rel. 5) the UMTS architecture is

made of:
Radio access part named UTRAN (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network)
Core Network - CN
User Equipment - UE
interfaces Iu, Ir and Uu
IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) Network.
The UTRAN consists of a set of Radio Network Subsystems (RNS) connected to the
Core Network through the Iu.
A RNS consists of a Radio Network Controller and one or more Node Bs. A Node B
is connected to the RNC through the Iub interface. The Uu is the interface between
the UE and the Node B.
Inside the UTRAN, the RNCs of the Radio Network Subsystems can be
interconnected together through the Iur.
On the interfaces Iu, Iur, and Iub, ATM is used for the transport of user data and
higher layer signaling information.
The Core Network architecture is realized to support circuit and packet switched
bearer services of an UE. Due to that, two domains are distinguished in the core:
Circuit Switched Core (CS Domain)

Packet Switched Core (PS Domain).
UMTS makes use of the hybrid core network of the GSM in CS Domain. In the 3GPP
Rel.4 the GSM MSC evolves to the MSC Server and the MGW.
Time critical services like voice and video service (real time services) continue to use
CS path through the MSC. However the IP telephony (IPT) is being used
increasingly, leaning on the IMS networks (IP Multimedia Services).
The IMS subsystem comprises all CN elements for provision of IP multimedia
services like audio, video, text, chat, etc. and a combination of them delivered over
the PS domain. The entities related to IMS are defined in the stage 2 of the IM
subsystem TS 23.228.

NSN UMTS Products Platforms
The NSN UMTS Network Elements are built on reliable and proven carrier class
platforms. There are several platforms used:
DX200 - NSN GSM elements are based on this CS proven technology (e.g. MSS,
SGSN Combi)
IPA2800 - Distributed computing platform upon which 3G UMTS NE are built (e.g.
RNC, MGW)
ATCA - Advanced Telecommunication Computing Architecture is a carrier grade
networks platform. It is an open hardware platform which allows the possibility to

use off shelf components, and it leaves room for application specific functionality
and enhancements on the blade level
NSN IP - the NSN IP core networks

Unix HP/SUN - Network management and service provisioning systems are built
on industrial server level.

Currently available NSN Release RU10 (according to 3GPP Rel.5 and 6) brings
some improvements of the WCDMA/HSPA.
Load based AMR codec mode selection,

HSDPA 14Mbps/user
QoS aware HSPA scheduling
Streaming QoS for HSPA
Multi-Operator Core Network
Centralized User Event Log Management for BTS
Full Native IP/Ethernet connectivity (provides 3GPP compliant IPv4 transport
option for all RNC interfaces)
IP based Iub interface for Flexi WCDMA BTS and Ultra Site BTS
Frequency Support (2000MHz S-Band, 850MHz ,900MHz, 1700MHz, 1900MHz,
2100MHz)
HSPA Transport over IP

RNC 2600
Flexi BTS Multimode System Module
The available I-HSPA Rel 1.(3GPP Rel. 7) with flat core architecture in the user plane
reduces the round trip time, OPEX and CAPEX, achieves the data rates 14, 4 Mbps
DL / 2Mbps UL. In this case the RNC vanishes and its functionality overtakes the IHSPA adapter, located at the WCDMA BTS.

2.1.1
Radio Network Controller
The Radio Network Controller (RNC) is the central controlling unit of a RNS (UMTS
Rel.'99&Rel. 4-6). It is controlling itself and all the UMTS Node B of the RNS.
The RNC is connected via the following ATM based interfaces:
Iub interface: to the connected Node Bs

Iur interface: to neighboring RNCs
Iu interface: to the Core Network CN.
Due to different protocol stacks, the Iu interface can be sub-divided into an Iu(ps)
interface and an Iu(cs) interface. The Iu(ps) interface is used for data and signaling
transmission to the PS Domain of the CN, the Iu(cs) interface is used for data
exchange with the CS Domain.
The main task of the RNC is to perform all Radio Resource Management RRM
functions for all UEs in its service area.
RRM means that the RNC is responsible for signaling with the UEs via Radio
Resource Control RRC protocol, it is deciding about the allocation of resources,
handover to other cells and release of resources, etc.
The RNC is holding the RRC connection to the UEs as long as data have to be
transmitted.
It is storing the UEs location information to transmit the data to the right location.
It is responsible for reliable transmission over the radio interface, performing
Backward Error Correction in acknowledged mode.
It is responsible for Ciphering / De-Ciphering and Integrity Check.
TM51108EN03GLA3
The NSN RNC solution is based on IPA2800 platform. The RNC450 was introduced
with SW release RAS06 while the RNC2600 is RU10 Release. The RNC2600 is the
solution to enable HSPA, voice over IP and IP services.
Both RNCs have modular SW and HW structure which allows scalability of
processing power and switch capacity, as well as flexibility in terms of number and
types of interfaces.

2.1.2
Node B - NSN WCDMA BTS
One or more Node Bs are controlled and addressed by the RNC. A Node B is a
physical unit for implementation of the UMTS radio interface. It is converting the
physical transmission of the data from fixed network transmission (ATM based) to
WCDMA transmission.
As a central transmission and reception site, it serves one or more UMTS cells. It is
serving one UMTS cell in case of an omni cell with 360 service or, for example, 2, 3
or 6 sector cells with 180, 120 and 60 service respectively.
To support the high penetration levels of subscribers and the new services and
applications, a range of base stations with different sizes and capacity are required to
supply the varies environments used in UTRAN.
The NSN solution for Node Bs consists of different models of WCDMA BTS that are
implemented in different geographical locations to meet the local needs.
The models used are Pico WCDMA solution, WCDMA UltraSite and mostly Flexi
WCDMA BTS.
To prepare the data for reliable transmission over the air interface Uu, the Node B
performs many WCDMA specific aspects, which are defined in TS 25.3xx and 25.4xx
series.
The NSN notation used in following figures to indicate the Node B capacity is e.g. a
1+1+1 or a 2+2+2 site. This means that transceivers or carriers (TRx) are divided into
different cell directions. In addition different antennas are used in different directions
and the RNCs handle each cell independently. The numbers represent the amount of
carriers (TRx) covering specific cell area. In a 2+2+2 site there are only two carrier
frequencies used. In WCDMA the number of frequencies per operators is limited usually 2 or 3 WCDMA carriers are licensed to one particular operator.

2.1.2.2
3G Flexi BTS
NSN Flexi WCDMA BTS is a part of NSN 3G macro BTS site solution. NSN Flexi
WDCMA BTS introduced a way of building BTS sites using modules, without a
specific BTS cabinet. Due to its small size, modular design and full frontal
accessibility the NSN Flexi WCDMA BTS is easy to install in various locations.
From a feature and performance point of view, NSN Flexi WCDMA BTS provides a
smooth evolution from Ultra Site WCDMA BTS without compromising performances
or capacity.
NSN Flexi WCDMA BTS modules can be used with different BTS configurations for
an integrated site solution,
It is optimized for high capacity and coverage application.
Smooth HSPA (3GPP Rel.5 -6) is provided through SW upgrade. RF and System
Modules support existing voice, circuit and packet data services.
Remote Radio Head (RRH) is the RF part of the Flexi BTS in distributed solution. The
distance between the SM and RF Module (i.e. RRH) can be up to 15km by using
existing optical fibers.
The Multi Radio Combiner (MRC) solution makes it possible to build an antenna line
sharing site with minimum effects on existing system performances. A typical down
link loss is 0.5dB. The Mast Head Amplifier (MHA) will retain uplink. There are MRC
units that cover bands 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz. The MRC 850 or MRC 900,
e.g., gives the possibility to co-locate GSM/EDGE and WCDMA BTS in the same
frequency band through antenna line sharing.

3G Femto Home Access Solution
Femto cells are low-power wireless access points that operate in licensed spectrum
to connect standard mobile devices to a mobile operators network, e.g. via DSL.
Using femto cells solves these problems with a device that employs power and
backhaul via the users existing resources. It also enables capacity equivalent to a full
3G network sector at very low transmit powers, dramatically increasing battery life of
existing phones.
The NSN solution introduces approach to the 3G Femto Home Access with
standards-based and open interfaces and a network element, the Femto Gateway.
The Femto Gateway is connected to the core network over a standard interface and
allows customer equipment CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) from multiple
vendors to be connected to it. The Femto Gateway can support any Femto access
point (AP) that has been certified by Nokia Siemens Networks to conform to the open
interface. NSN does not provide the CPEs but they come from partners.
With the Femto Home Access solution, people will be able to enjoy better quality 3G
services at homes with any standard WCDMA terminal.

Circuit Switched Domain
The Circuit Switch Domain of the UMTS core network is common for the GSM core,
i.e. the same elements are used for the GSM and UMTS. These elements are the
MGW (Media Gateway) for the user plane, the MSS (MSC Server) for signaling plane
and the HLR for providing a subscriber data with associated elements for
authentication of the user and control of the equipment.
The MGW (Multimedia Gateway) main functions are:
Adaptation of a conventional signaling between the MSC Server or the MGCF

(Media Gateway Control Function server) and different network interfaces
Connection of a user data from an ATM/IP backbone into the RAN or circuit
switched networks
Provision of tones and announcements to end users

Transcoding.
The MSC Server is responsible e.g. for signaling, paging and collecting charging
information while the MGW is doing a switching.
MSC Server contains communication management functionality and is also
responsible for a mobility management.

MGW IPA2800
The MGW IPA2800 (NSN Media Gateway) is based on the NSN IPA 2800 platform.
The MGW IPA2800 is situated as a media gateway, a node with gateway
functionality to provide inter-working between different media (e.g. TDM-TDM, TDMATM, IP-TDM), e.g. the IP multimedia subsystem on one side and the time division
multiplex oriented PSTN on the other side.
In case of 3G the MGW main task is to provide interworking between 3G RAN and
GMS MSS and transcoding between A interface and Iu interface, i.e.:
ATM to TDM conversion

Iu A' interface signaling conversion between narrowband and broadband SS7
Transcoding
It performs inter-working between IP v4 or v6 real-time protocol and PCM30 a-law or
-Law by interconnecting these different types of bearer.
The MGW IPA 2800 provides an IP based H.248 or Megaco interface towards the
Media Gateway Control Function, which is responsible for the control inter-working
(SIP-CCS7) and the call control in the MGW.

3.1.2
MSS DX 200 Multimedia Gateway Control Function
NSN MSC Server System (MSS) is a circuit-switched call control product offering all
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and 3G circuit-switched services.
A complete MSS System also includes the NSN Multimedia Gateway (MGW).
The MSS System supports Time-division Multiplexing (TDM), Internet Protocol (IP),
and ATM transmission. These factors make the MSS a safe investment both
technically as well as economically.
The MSS and Multimedia Gateway have an important role also for IP Multimedia
networks. The MSS system provides the inter-working for voice between the IP
Multimedia domain and the circuit-switched domain (PSTN/PLMN/ISDN).
The MSS provides an IP based H.248 or Megaco interface towards the Media
Gateway, which is responsible for the inter-working (IP/RTP-TDM/CS).
It has interfaces towards the PSTN via S7/SIGTRAN to transport ISUP (ISDN User
Part) signaling and provides the IP based Mj interface towards the IMS S-CSCF or
the BGCF respectively.
The NSN MSC Server System is based on DX200 HW platform.

Packet Switched Domain
UMTS Packet Switched (PS) Domain offers PS bearer services.

It is based on the GSM feature GPRS. Originally, this domain was developed for nonreal time packet switched applications, such as file transfer, e-mail, access to
Intranet, but now days it is mainly used for multimedia services (MMS). By improving
the offered QoS in release Rel. 5 and higher, the real time services become
important offer of the 3G operators.
The 3G-SGSN and GGSN are located in the packet domain. Other specified PS
domain entities are the BGF and the CGF, which are often offered as stand alone
devices. There are also some network elements, which are shared by the packet
switched and circuit switched domain. The common network elements comprise the
HLR, AuC and EIR.

3.2.1
3G Serving GPRS Support Node SGSN
The basic functions of the 3G SGSN are:
Authentication and Mobility Management

Routing of data to the relevant GGSN when a connection to an external network or
intra-network mobile to mobile connection is require
Generation of charging data and traffic statistic.

The NSN 3G SGSN is built on DX 200 and ATCA platform.
The control part of the 3G SGSN consists of Mobility Management layer which
handles mobility and security of user and of Session Management layer which
handles the Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context activation and QoS reservation.
It performs also packet processing and packet routing functions.
Both 3G SGSN platforms offer a compact, modular device which enables flexible
configuration.
The capacity may be optimized for maximum data throughput or for the maximum
number of simultaneous subscribers.
3.2.1.1
Combi SGSN and Flexi Network Server
Combi SGSN architecture and HW is designed for a 2G/3G SGSN environment. In

this environment, the product must support different complex interface variants
(Frame Relay in Gb interface. ATM in Iu interface and SS7 E1/T1 in Gr interface
towards HLR).
Combi SGSN is a field proven 2G/3G SGSN product with a market leading installed
base. By introducing the Direct Tunnel and I-HSPA concept, it became visible the
need for different types of the SGSN/MME products.
Flexi Network Server HW and SW architecture is optimized for 3G SGSN use with:
all IP environment where there is no need to support complex HW for FR, ATM,
E1/T1
flat network architecture

transaction capacity performance instead of user-plane processing capacity
bigger radio network connectivity capacity (eNB and RNC capacity with IP).
There is a clear need for two different kinds of SGSN/MME products in the future in
order to provide an optimal solution for the operators. Both of the products will stay in
the NSN portfolio to serve their dedicated positioning.

Flexi Network Server (NS) 1.0
Flexi Network Server Release 1.0 and 1.0 CD2

introduces MME control plane functionality to be
used as a part of the NSN LTE offering
In the first phase Flexi NS is positioned as a stand
alone MME element
However, evolution to a flat architecture 3G SGSN
is considered as a natural evolution step in the
future
Flexi NS is based on NSN ATCA hardware
platform, and build on top of the NSN Combi SGSN
SW architecture. The idea is that the MME
functionality developed in NS 1.0 release can be
later integrated as a part of the Combi SGSN

3.2.2
GPRS Gateway -Support Node GGSN
The NSN GGSN acts as an interface between the PS core network and external
packet data networks. For an external network the GGSN is simply a router to a
subnetwork. When the GGSN receives data addressed to a specific user it checks if
the address is active. If the address is active it forwards the data to the SGSN that
serves the user equipment or else the data is discarded.
In addition the GGSN routs mobile originating packets to the correct external
network. The same GGSN can serve GPRS and 3G subscribers simultaneously.
3.2.2.1
Flexi Intelligent Service Node ISN
The NSN Flexi ISN is a scalable carrier grade product incorporating gateway GPRS
Support Node and service awareness functions. It acts as a gateway between access

NSN IMS Products
In the communication world different networks exist, standardized by different

standardization organizations like ITU-T, GSM-ETSI, 3GPP, IEEE etc. These
traditional networks were vertical oriented with strong division between voice, data,
mobile and broadcast networks.
The evolution from CS to PS communications technology made significant erosion of
these traditional barriers. With Voice over IP offering free telephony and with voice,
video and internet services available on multiple devices via a single broadband
connection, operators, service providers, and device manufacturers have all had to
re-think the fundamentals of their businesses. At the same time, they have to cope
with the continuing rise of mobility usage, which in the voice domain is already
overtaking fixed-line usage. As mobile data rates edge closer to those enjoyed by
fixed broadband users, the race is on to deliver a cost-efficient, seamless multimedia
possibility anywhere, any time, on any device.
Solution is Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC) strategy. This strategy offer users
convenient access to voice, data and video/TV services, supported by mobility over
any access network.
FMC is based on IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) architecture.

FMC Components
P-CSCF or Proxy Call Session Control Function
The proxy CSCF is the first contact point within the IM CN system. Its address is
discovered by the user equipment during the CSCF discovery. It behaves like a
proxy i.e. it represents the user equipment and forwards the registration and
session initiation messages.
SBC or Session Border Controller
The components of the SBC are not incorporated in a single piece of equipment
but are distributed. The signaling controller is collocated with the P-CSCF and
controls over the PCS a media proxy at the edge of the access network.
It controls the access of signaling messages to the IMS core network, and
manipulates the contents of these messages. The term border control function
(BCF) will be used for this part.
The user plane of the SBC controls the access of media packets to the network.
The term BGF will be used for this part.
BGCF or Break Out Gateway Control Function
The BGCF is necessary for the establishment of multimedia session between the
IMS and the CS domain. In case the S-CSCF is unable to route the SIP Invite
Message to a terminating I-CSCF, it forwards it for a session setup to the BGCF.
The BGCF than selects a media gateway control function.
I-CSCF/S-CSCF or Interrogating/Serving Call Session Control Function,
Interrogating CSCF (I-CSCF) is the contact point within an operator's network for
all connections destined to a user of that network operator, or a roaming user
currently located within that network operator's service area. There may be
multiple I-CSCFs within an operator's network.
The Serving CSCF (S-CSCF) performs the session control services for the UE. It
maintains a session state as needed by the network operator for support of the
services. Within an operator's network, different S-CSCFs may have different
functionalities.
HSS Home Subscriber Server
The HSS is the subscriber database of the IMS (like the HLR for the mobile
network). Subscriber accounts, profiles and access rights are stored in this central
database that can be accessed from the CSCF to provide a temporary copy of the
profiles.
In the future the HSS will contain entries from the mobile network and the IMS. In
the first stage these functionalities are separated in two units. The protocol used
for communication between CSCF and HSS is Diameter.

MGCF or Media gateway control function
The MGCF provides the control plane for the interconnection point between the
packet and circuit switched networks. It is the signaling unit of the MGW to control
this unit and to convert signaling messages between circuit switched and packet
switched networks, i.e. SS7 and SIP. The controlling of the MGW is done via
MEGACO the media gateway control protocol.
MGW or Media Gateway
The MGW is a switch which is capable of interconnecting packet and circuit

switched networks. Therefore it provides interfaces for these "two worlds" like
PCM30 for circuit switched and voice over IP (via ATM or Ethernet) for packet
switched networks. Its purpose is the conversion of user traffic between the IMS
and circuit switched networks like the fixed telephone network or GSM networks.
For this reason also the capability to convert between various codecs, like G.711
for circuit switched or adaptive multi rate (AMR) for IMS subscribers is essential.
MRF or Media Resource Function
The MRF comprises the multimedia resource function control (control) and
multmedia resource Function Processor (bearer) and is used for multimedia

Basics
To reduce OPEX and ensure quality in growing complex mobile networks (NW) an
Operational Support System is required.
The NW management can be described as a system with different management
levels involved in managing any system. The lowest level is NE management which
handles the NE, e.g. NE configuration, alarm monitoring. The next level is called NW
management which handles the NW wide issues, e.g. alarm monitoring, network
integration. In the figure these two levels are indicated as Resource.
The NE and NW management functions are:
Administration management
Configuration management
Monitoring and Fault management
Performance management
Security management
On the top of the NW management is Service management which handles the
functions that control services offered by the network, like capacity or coverage, QoS,
i.e. service assurance and service fulfillment.
The Business management level (BSS) is on the top of the Operational Support
System consisting of the systems that run, e.g. charging or some intelligent tasks.
The NSN UMTS management solutions to support mentioned operational tasks are
NetAct , @vantage Commander and iNMS.
NetAct provides a full scalable management capability for both packet data and
traditional voice traffic independent of technology.
