Document History
The BSS provides radio coverage for GSM subscribers in a defined area and connects the mobile stations to the
switching part of the GSM PLMN.
With (E)GPRS data traffic, the BSS also includes a Multi-BSS Fast Packet Server (MFS) to manage data packets
and perform Location Services (LCS) through Serving Mobile Location Center (SMLC) functions within the MFS.
The Alcatel-Lucent BSS supports GPRS, the solution chosen by the ETSI in response to the demand for increased
data transmission rates.
This means there are now two systems in parallel in the PLMN:
The Circuit-switched transmission for voice (NSS),
The Packet-switched transmission for data (GSS).
All these interfaces are carried over standard 2 Mbps PCM links of 32 TSs, 64 Kbps each.
As an option, the Ater mux and the A interfaces in the TC can be carried over an optical STM-1 interface (1 STM-
1 can carry up to 63 E1 interfaces), which can be then routed over the SDH network, offering improved
transmission efficiency.
As an option, the Ater mux and the Abis interfaces in the BSC can be carried over the STM-1 interface.
Also as an option, the Gb interface can be carried over IP, offering easier routing and lower costs.
From B12, all those interfaces can be over IP.
For medium density areas, small macrocells (called mini cells) are overlaid with one umbrella macrocell.
For higher traffic densities, microcells are installed in all the streets where very dense traffic occurs. Umbrella
macrocells provide continuous coverage for level and quality handovers, and saturated overlaid cells.
Fast moving mobiles are handled by the umbrella cell. A mobile handled by a microcell is sent to the umbrella
cell if the delay between handovers becomes too small. Conversely, a mobile is sent to a microcell if it receives a
high level of signal for a sufficient time.
Call quality/control is achieved by providing four thresholds for microcell handover and one handover threshold
for macrocell handover.
Microcell-to-microcell handover occurs due to the proximity of the two cells. When the power budget is better in
another cell, the MS is handed over to the cell which will serve the call more efficiently. This normally occurs in
microcells serving in the same street.
All those functions are performed by the BSC and the OMC-R.
If the OMC-R is not connected, the network is still operational, but these tasks may not be performed.

Two main types of configuration are available for the BSC Evolution:
standalone configuration: BSC Evolution with one telecom subrack equipped with minimum 2 and
maximum 6 CCP boards (one CCP board is used for redundancy).
rack sharing configuration: 2 BSCs Evolution with one telecom subrack equipped for each BSC and two
LIU shelves housed in one rack. Each telecom subrack is equipped with minimum 2 and maximum 6 CCP
boards (one CCP board is used for redundancy). The BSC can also share the rack with a 9130 MFS.
The TRE capacity of the BSC is 200 TREs/CCP so up to 1400 TREs are supported in this software release .
Interfaces
Ater mux Interface:
The TC is connected to the BSC or MFS via the Ater mux interface. In case of a connection to the MFS, the Ater mux possibly
conveys the Gb interface. All interfaces are standard 2048 kbps G703. Both 4:1 and 3:1 sub-multiplexing but only TS0
transparency are supported. The traffic channels are processed in the MT120 board. SS7,OMC-R X.25 and Gb channels go
transparently through the MT120.
It supports GPRS granularity mapping ( e.g., 3/4 GSM &1/4 GPRS).
The "A" interface connects the Transcoder to the MSC. This is a standard G703 interface that carries 64 kbps channels.
As an option, several Ater mux and/or A interfaces (max. 63) can be connected to the TC via an SDH transmission network, on an
STM-1 interface.
O&M interface: the BSC performs the O&M access via the Qmux bus. This access is used for configuration and supervision of the
MT120 board. There is a 1+1 connection, operating in active /standby mode. These 2 connections are carried on two 1200-bps
channels conveyed by the first 2 Ater mux links.
X21 interface: this interface is managed by the MT120 board and supports X25 channels used to interconnect the G2 BSC to the OMC-
R.
In the same rack, UMTS and GSM/GPRS boards can be plugged in, sharing the same housing, power supply,
external alarms, etc.
It allocates resources and manages the data flow between the BTS and the GSS.
The MFS converts GPRS frames, carried on multiple 16 kbps links from multiple BTSs, to one or more frame
relay channels connected to the SGSN on the Gb Interface.
ATCA SHELF

PEM
In the ATCA shelf, provides line filtering and surge protection for the power supply connections
In the LIU shelf, provides EMI filtering, down conversion in a 12V power supply, and collects the
alarms through an I2C line.
Two main types of configuration are available for the MFS Evolution:
standalone configuration:
MFS Evolution with up to 9 GPs: 1 ATCA shelf with 1 LIU shelf equipped with 8 LIU boards.
MFS Evolution with up to 21 GPs: 2 ATCA shelves with 1 LIU shelf equipped with 16 LIU boards.
rack sharing configuration:
1 MFS Evolution with 1 ATCA shelf and 1 LIU shelf equipped with 8 LIU boards + 1 BSC Evolution with 1
ATCA and 1 LIU shelf
The CCCH communicates with mobile stations in the cell before a dedicated signaling channel is established.
Three channels use the CCCH timeslot:
RACH: used on the uplink by the mobile station for initial access to the network.
PCH: used on the downlink for paging messages to the mobile station.
AGCH: used on the downlink to give the mobile station access information before a dedicated channel is
assigned.
The DCCH passes signaling information for a specific mobile station transaction. Two channels use the DCCH
timeslot:
SDCCH: used for signaling and short message information.
CBCH: uses an SDCCH channel for Short Message Service - Cell Broadcasts.
The ACCH passes signaling information for a specific mobile station transaction. An ACCH channel is always
associated with a traffic channel. Two channels use the ACCH timeslot:
FACCH: associated with a traffic channel, and can steal slots out of 24 or 26 slots which are normally
dedicated to the traffic channel for signaling purposes as well as the SACCH slot.
SACCH: associated with a traffic channel, which uses one out of 26 slots for signaling purposes.
The AUPoIP feature is available if the BSS is connected to a NGN (MSC-Server and MGW) core network. Going
from legacy TDM to IP networks and implementing the NGN concept means that both User and Control planes
are managed separately through IP.
The IMT performs maintenance tasks at the MFS, using a Mozilla browser.
The IMT software can be accessed from either the IMT or the OMC-R.
