1 Overview
1.1 Background
With the fast growth of wireless services and the rapid expansion of Internet services,
the wireless communication system has to meet increasing demands for system
capacity, data transmission rate and strong support for diverse services. The 3G mobile
communication system (IMT2000) draws the attention of the whole industry. The major
feature of 3G mobile communication system is the support of broadband service,
especially the multimedia data service efficiently using frequency spectrum. The 3G
system is designed to provide a larger system capacity and better communication quality
than 2G systems, implement seamless roaming around the world, and provide
subscribers with multiple services.
Mainstream technical standards for the 3G are CDMA2000, WCDMA and TD-SCDMA.
The CDMA2000 adopts the spread spectrum rate of 1 x 1.2288Mcps. A single carrier
occupies 1.25 MHz bandwidth. It adopts DS spread spectrum technology. The
CDMA2000 system is also called CDMA2000 1X. In addition, the 1xEV-DO Rev.A,
which serves as an enhanced standard supplemental to IS2000, supports data
transmission up to 3.1Mbps in a bandwidth of 1.25 MHz. For the 1xEV-DO Rev.B, which
adopts multi-carrier modulation technology, the spread spectrum rate is 3x/7x/15x
1.2288Mcps, respectively occupies 5/10/20 MHz bandwidth, the highest rate reaches
14.7 Mbps/34.3 Mbps/73.5 Mbps on the forward link and 5.4 Mbps/12.6 Mbps/27 Mbps
on the reverse link (with 6850 chip).
The evolution from traditional networks to All-IP networks helps network builders and
operators offer more flexible service platform functions at lower costs. All-IP networks,
when integrated with 3G wireless access technologies, enable provisioning of
multimedia services over IP (including VoIP), giving network builders and operators
competitive edge.
The overall structure of the CDMA2000 All-IP network consists of the radio access
network and the core network. The evolution of the core network is independent from
that of the radio access network.
The CDMA2000 network evolves to All-IP network in several phases: Phase-0, Phase-1,
Phase-2 and Phase-3.
2 Since Phase-1, the core network separates from the access network, forming
independent signaling layer and bearer layer. The access network signaling is
transmitted over IP.
3 Phase-2 corresponds to the LMSD (Legacy MS Domain) phase, which requires the
IP network to support traditional terminal services and provide new service functions
(such as TrFO/RTO) for users using new terminals.
4 Phase-3 corresponds to the MMD phase, and is the end point of the evolution to All-
IP. In this phase, the air interface based on IP is implemented and finally IP-based
transmission is realized throughout the network.
Such a way of phased and independent evolution offers flexibility to operators, and
better supports the network transition policy of the traditional telecom operators.
It is foreseeable that the multimedia information such as voice, data and video will be
integrated into the IP network architecture, as are a consensus of the industry and a
mega-trend of the telecommunication network. In response to the technical development
trend, the ZXC10 BSSB has been developed on the basis of the IP platform. The ZXC10
BSSB consists of the ZXC10 BSCB and a series of BTSs. The ZXC10 BSSB features
advanced and future-proof technology, high integration, large capacity and full ranges of
product series. The ZXC10 BSSB can support the all the existing standards for the
CDMA2000 1X and 1xEV-DO family, and it has supported the function of the
CDMA2000 All-IP network in the LMSD phase, and supports the smooth evolution to the
next generation ALL-IP network.
The ZXC10 BSCB can support CDMA2000 1X and 1xEV-DO Rev.A simultaneously on
the same platform, and support mixed insertion of the 1X and 1xEV-DO Rev.A. This
system is compatible with IS-95 backward, and can be smoothly upgraded to
CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.B.
The ZXC10 BSCB already supports the functions of the CDMA2000 All-IP network in the
LMSD phase, IOS5.0, the separation of signaling from bearer, and the A1p/A2p
interface. The IP transmission technology can be adopted to access it to the
CDMA2000 core network that implements LMSD (Legacy Mobile Station Domain).
Note: The BSC and BSCB mentioned in this document refer to ZXC10 BSCB.

Figure 1 Typical Network Structure of the 3GPP2 All-IP Network in LMSD Step-2
The overall network architecture of the All-IP network in the LMSD phase consists of the
radio access network and the core network, which are independent of each other.
Located between the MS (Mobile Station) and the CN (Core Network), the RAN is
responsible for processing radio signals, terminating radio protocols, and
connecting the MS with the core network. It consists of two parts, BSC/PCF
(generally referred to as BSC) and BTS. In the CDMA 2000 RAN, the BSC is the
control part in the BSS (Base Station System) to implement functions, such as call
processing, service selection, resource allocation, background monitoring and BTS
(Base Station Transceiver) access.
Core network
Figure 2 shows the BSCB interface in the All-IP network of the CDMA2000 1X LMSD
phase. The BSC is connected to the BTS via the Abis interface, to the MSCe/MGW via
the A1p/A2p or A1/A2 interface, and to the PCF via the A8/A9 interface. The PCF is
connected to the PDSN equipment via the A10/A11 interface. BSCs are connected with
each other via the A3/A7 interface.

The external interfaces of the BSCB are standard ones, and the interfaces between
BSSB and MSCe/MGW, PDSN and PCF meet the CDMA2000 standard interface
specification; the interface between the BSC and the BTS is the user-defined Abis
interface.
BSCB supports the IOS5.0 protocol, and the A1p and A2p interfaces based on the IP
transmission technology, through which it can be accessed to the MSCe/MGW.
Meanwhile, the BSCB is compatible with the IOS4.* backwards, and provides the A1
and A2 interfaces to access it to the MSCe/MGW with the TDM transmission technology.
However, for the same BSCB equipment, it can be accessed to MSCe/MGW in only one
mode (IP or TDM).
Alp interface: When BSC is accessed to MSCe in the IP transmission mode, the
signaling interface between the BSC and the MSCe is the A1p interface. The A1p
interface bears the signaling messages related to call processing, mobility
management, radio resource management, authentication and encryption.
Al2p interface: When BSC is accessed to MGW in the IP transmission mode, the
voice bearing service interface between the BSC and the MGW is the A2p interface.
Al interface: When the BSC is connected to the MSCe over TDM, the signaling
interface between the BSC and the MSCe is the A1 interface. The A1 interface
bears the signaling messages related to call processing, mobility management,
radio resource management, authentication and encryption.
A2 interface: When the BSC is connected to the MGW over TDM, the voice bearing
service interface between the BSC and the MGW is the A2 interface. It bears the
64/56K PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) data between the SDU
(Selection/Distribution Unit) at the BTS side and the switching network at the MSC
side.
A3 interface: Support the inter-BSS soft handoff (BSC interconnection) when the
mobile station is in the traffic channel state. It is divided into two parts: the A3
signaling interface and the A3 traffic interface.
A7 interface: Support the inter-BSS handoff when the mobile station is not
controlled in the traffic channel state and supports the control flow when the mobile
station needs to establish the new traffic for inter-BSS soft handoff.
A9 interface: Bear the signaling transmission between BSS and PCF, and maintain
the A8 interface between BSS and PCF.
A10/A11 interface: Bear the transmission of signaling and data between PCF and
PDSN for maintaining the BSS-PCF A10 connection. The A10 interface bears data
while the A11 interface bearing signaling.
Abis interface: The Abis protocol is used for the interfaces between the BSC and
the BTS. It consists of two parts on the application layer: Control part (Abisc) and
traffic part (Abist), the former converts the Um interface control channel signaling
and the latter converts the control over the traffic channel.
The reference model for the CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A radio access network is shown
in Figure 3.
The CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A system consists of Access Terminal (AT), Radio
Access Network (RAN) and core network.
RAN
RAN provides the radio bearer between the core network and AT, responsible for
establishing, maintaining and releasing radio channels, to manage the radio
resources and mobility. RAN consists of such functional entities as Access Network,
Packet Control Function (PCF) and Access Network AAA.
The AN consists of BSC and BTS. AN is a kind of network equipment that provides
data connections between the packet network and the access terminal, to
implement the BTS transceiving, call control and mobility management.
PCF and AN jointly implement the radio channel control function related to the
packet data service. In the specific implementation of BSCB, PCF is configured
together with BSC, and the A8/A9 interface is the internal interface for AN/PCF.
PCF communicates with PDSN through the A10/A11 interface.
Core network
The core network consists of packet core network and switching core network. The
PS core network includes such functional entities as PDSN and AAA; the switching
core network includes MSCe.
AT
In the CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A network, the BSCB interface is shown in Figure 4.
The external interfaces of the BSCB are standard ones, and the interfaces between AN
and MSCe/MGW, PDSN, PCF and other ANs meet the standard interface specification
3GPP2 A.S0008; the interface between the BSC and the BTS is the user-defined Abis
interface.

Abis Interface: The Abis protocol is an interface protocol between the BSC and BTS.
It contains two parts in the application layer: control part (Abisc) and service part
(Abist). The control part converts the Um interface control channel signaling, and
the service part controls the traffic service channel.
A8/A9 interface: It is used to bear the signaling and data between AN and PCF. The
A9 interface bears signaling, used for maintaining the A8 data connection between
AN and PCF.
A10/A11 interface: It bears the signaling and data between PCF and PDSN for
maintaining the A10 data connection. The A11 interface bears signaling.
A12 interface: It connects the AN to the AN AAA for signaling transmission only.
This interface implements the AT terminal access authentication function at the AN
level. After the authentication of the MS/AT access is successful, the AN-AAA
returns MNID to AN for the interface between A8/A9 and A10/A11. The A12
interface uses the RADIUS protocol (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service).
A16 interface: It uses the signaling message to deliver the AT’s active connection
status information between the source AN and the target AN to implement hard
handoff.
A17 interface: It is used to deliver the signaling message between the source AN
and the target AN to assign the target AN resources required to implement soft
handoff. Besides, the A17 interface can deliver the control channel message of the
source AN to the target AN.
A18 interface: It is used to deliver the AT’s media plane information between the
source AN and the target AN during soft handoff.
A19 interface: It is used to deliver the handoff control information between the
source AN and the target AN during soft handoff.

3 Functionality
The main functions of the BSCB are as follows:
Power control can control the actual transmission power of the mobile phone or BTS in
radio transmission to keep it as low as possible, to reduce the power consumption of
mobile phone and BTS and the interference of the entire CDMA network.
Power control can be divided into forward power control and backward power control,
either of which is performed independently. The so-called backward power control refers
to the control of the mobile phone transmitting power, while forward power control refers
to the control of the BS transmitting power.
In a CDMA cellular mobile communication system, the following power control modes
are available:
The reverse power control has a control over the output power of the accessed terminal
to ensure the quality of the reverse link while minimizing the interference and maximizing
the system capacity. Only when the average reverse link SNR of each user supports the
acceptable performance with the minimum overheads can the system achieves the
largest capacity.
Open loop power control: The AT (Access Terminal) determines the condition of the
reverse link based on the receiving power of the forward pilot channel, and adjusts
the initial transmitting power to compensate the path loss;
Close loop power control: The AT feedbacks the power control information in the
RPC (Reverse Power Control) based on the demodulation performance of the
reverse data, and adjusts the transmitting power of the reverse pilot;
Outer loop power control: BSC adjusts the comparative threshold in the inner loop
power control based on the quality of the reverse link frame. AN judges the quality
of data frame according to the CRC check.
Softer handoff and soft handoff: BSC supports up to 6-way softer handoff. BSC
supports up to 6-way soft/ softer handoff;
handoff. For the IS95A mobile phones, the BS auxiliary inter-frequency handoff
algorithm is supported; for the IS95B mobile phones and later versions, the
candidate pilot search auxiliary handoff algorithm is supported; for the IS95B mobile
phones and later versions, hard handoff
Soft handoff between BSCBs: FCH (Fundamental Channel) soft handoff between
the interconnected BSCBs, SCH (Supplemental Channel) soft handoff between the
interconnected BSCBs;
Idle handoff: Supports of idle handoff of AT cross cell, BTS, BSC/PCF and PDSN.
TrFO (Transcoder Free Operation) means that two mobile stations have the network
capability to make the MS-MS call with the same encoding/decoding. It transmits
compressed voices in the bearer path of the packet network between traditional mobile
phones through saving the encoder/decoder. The transcoder is placed at the network
side, and associated with MGW. Through only transmitting the compressed voice, TrFO
improves its bandwidth utilization and reduces its loop delay. In addition, it can improve
the voice quality.
RTO (Remote Transcoder Operation) refers to the network capability that is incompatible
with the encoding/decoding at the end point. RTO tries to establish the bearer path with
the single code conversion to match the incompatible encoding/decoding. The ideal
compressed voice is transmitted between the end points. For the case where there is no
single code conversion used for establishing bearers, two Tandem code conversions are
needed, to search for a matching code between the two end points. RTO is a special
case of TrFO.
Tone DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency) Transfer: BSC will transfer DTMF tone
when BSC receives DTMF signaling from MS. BSC supports single Tone DTMF
and Burst DTMF.
Email receiving and sending, WWW service, FTP service; ATM, POS (Point of
Sales) and other bank charging terminal services support;
The OMM originates markov, including 8K full rate, 8K variable rate, 13K full rate,
13K variable rate, without need of MSC;
2. Improving the network capacity by 40% through the combination of QLIC (including
pilot and traffic channel interference cancellation) and EVRC-B
Compared with other encoders, EVRC-B can greatly improve the network capacity and
thus reduce the users’ cost.
4 System Architecture
4.1 System Structure of BSCB
The BSCB is an upscale radio access product based on the All-IP technology. The
general structure of an All-IP network is shown in Figure 5.
BSCB can access and process multiple traffic flows: Circuit, IP (Internet Protocol), ATM
(Asynchronous Transmission Mode) and HIRS (High-speed Interconnect Router
Subsystem) traffic flows, as shown in Figure 6.
A circuit service can be converted into an IP service through code mapping and vice
versa;
An HIRS service can be converted into an IP service through frame mapping and
vice versa;
An ATM service can be converted into an IP service through cell mapping and vice
versa;
An ATM service can be converted into a circuit service through IP indirect mapping
and vice versa;
An HIRS service can be converted into a circuit service through IP indirect mapping
and vice versa;
An HIRS service can be converted into an ATM service through IP indirect mapping
and vice versa.
As the control part of the BSSB, the BSCB provides the Abis interface with the BTS and
A interface with the MSC and PDSN. It executes the control, management and
maintenance for one or multiple BTSs attached to it, and provides service channels and
SS7 signaling interfaces to the MSC or MSCe/MGW.
The BSC adopts the 19-inch standard rack where four 8U standard plug-in boxes can be
supported. However, only three of them can be configured upon configuration of a GPS
plug-in box. Designed with the Compact PCI standard, universal BSC plug-in boxes
adopt the 8U space with boards being plugged from both the front and back sides. Each
plug-in box has 17 slots.
A BSC consists of the level-1 switching subsystem (BPSN), resource subsystem (BUSN),
control subsystem (BCTC) and Power Distribution subsystem.
As the core switching part in the BSC, Level 1 switching subsystem provides necessary
data transmission channels for functional entities internal/external the system, so as to
implement the exchange of multiple data (Timing, signaling, voice services and data
services) and provide different customers with corresponding QoS (Quality of Service)
function according to the service requirements.

BUSN BUSN
The level-1 switching subsystem adopts the high-speed switching of the backplanes.
The network processing modules will first decide the data forwarding route at the
physical interface, and then send the data to the switching network for exchange through
high-speed exchange and connection of the backplanes.
As the control bus inside the system that connects each module, the UIM switching
Ethernet bus completes distribution/collection of the routing information, system
configuration/maintenance/management, and transmission of the high-level protocol and
signaling data.
The level 1 switching subsystem (BPSN) is the core packet switching node of the BSC,
consisting of PSN4V/PSN2, GLIQV/GLI2, and UIMC/UIMC2 and BPSN backplane.
GLIQV/GLI2
UIMC/UIMC2
UIMC/UIMC2 used in the control subrack and Level 1 switching subrack implements
Ethernet switching of control flow message.
PSN4V/PSN2
As a self-routing matrix switching system, PSN4V/PSN2 works with the queue engine on
the cable interface board to provide the switching function.
BPSN backplane
The BPSN fulfills Ethernet switch in the control plane. The system receives clock from
CLKG/CLKD/ICM and transmit it to UIMC/UIMC2. UIMC/UIMC2 distributes the system
clock to each service slot in the BPSN through the BPSN backplane. In addition, the
BPSN backplane provides –48 V power.
For example, configurations of the level-1 switching shelves are shown in the following

Fault Management
It falls into two parts, alarm management and diagnosis test. The alarm
management function serves to receive the detailed alarm information sent from
network units in the form of fault reports, and monitor the network status, such as
the circuit group status, network node status, signaling system status and the MSC
area, registration area and cell status. If any network abnormality is found, it will
convert the information into audible, visual and screen display alarms to inform the
operators. When an alarm occurs or the system performance becomes weak, the
operator starts the corresponding test program to perform fault diagnosis and
locating test, as a result, he/she can take proper maintenance measures to
minimize the influence of the fault on the network operation. For on-site replaceable
component modules, the fault cannot be located on more than three modules in
terms of precision. The diagnosis test may be the board test and inter-module
communication link test.
