BSC6910 - Cabinet 1. Subrack: PARCb subracks are used. Boards are installed on
the front and rear sides of the backplane. One subrack
provides 28 slots. Subracks are powered independently.
(The BSC6900 cabinet is powered in a centralized manner.)
2. Air channel: Each subrack is provided with an independent

air channel, with the air intake vent at the front side and air
exhaust vent at the rear side. (The BSC6900 cabinet uses a
centralized air channel, with the air intake vent at the bottom
and air exhaust vent at the top.)
3. Cable trough: The rear half of each subrack is provided with

a cable trough for optical fibers. (Cable troughs are provided
at both the front and rear half of each subrack in the
BSC6900 cabinet.)
4. Cabinet: The appearance of BSC6910 cabinet is the same

as BSC6900 cabinet, but their power distribution and
ventilation methods are different. Therefore, the BSC6910
cannot use the cabinet of the BSC6900.
5. The BSC6910 can be configured with two cabinets with six

subracks at most. The concepts of the main processing
subrack (MPS) and main processing rack (MPR) are the
same as those of BSC6900.
The hardware configuration for the BSC6910 UMTS is as follows:

Minimum: one cabinet with a main processing subrack (MPS)
Maximum: two cabinets with an MPS and five extended processing subracks (EPSs)
BSC6910 – Power Connection between PDF
and BSC
- To create backup, connect OUTPUT A

and OUTPUT B to a different power
supply group
- PDF connect to the power inputs on
each subrack
- In each subrack, there are 2 power
entry modules(PEMs).
- In each PEM, there are 2 power inputs.
- PEM 00 and PEM 01 work in active and
standby mode. It work concurrently in
normal case. If either of them become
faulty, the other PEM continues to
supply power to the system.
- The 2 power out puts of PEM work in
load sharing mode.

BSC6910 – Relationship between power
outputs and inputs
BSC6910 - Interconnection Between
Subracks
1. BSC6910 uses the switching board
SCUb of BSC6900. The
interconnection mode between
subracks is the same as the mode
adopted for the BSC6900.
2. 4 x 10GE ports are used to form

chain interconnection among
subracks of the BSC6910.
3. SCUb boards are interconnected

using power cables by default, but
the interconnection distance between
subracks is 10 m at most. Optical
fibers can be used for achieving a
longer interconnection distance.

- Each subrack is provided with two layers of fan boxes.

- Each subrack is configured with two power entry modules (PEMs) working in load sharing mode.
- Each PEM is connected to two 63 Amps current outputs on the power distribution frame (PDF)
- The two PEMs of one subrack are connected to different PDF current outputs so that one PEM
failure or one group of PDF output failure will not interrupt the power supply.

BSC6910 - Slots
1. Each BSC6910 subrack provides 28 slots, among
which there are sixteen 2 x 10GE slots and ten 4 x
GE slots.
4 2. SCUb boards that used as the switching board are
inserted in slots 20 and 21 fixedly.
3. EOMUa boards are inserted in slots 10 to 13 of the
MPS subrack. Those fixed slots are different from
those of the BSC6900.
4. The rear board slot only provides the cable through
for optical fibers. The interface board needs to be
inserted in the rear subrack.
5. This is different in BSC6900. 10GE interface
boards, such as EXOUa, can use slots 16 to 19
and slots 22 to 25. Other interface boards can use
any slots in the rear half of the subrack.
6. Slots 8 and 9 of the MPS subrack are fixedly
configured with one pair of EGPUa boards, forming
1+1 redundancy for resource management of the
entire system.
7. Other EGPUa boards for service processing form a
1 Front board slot 10GE port resource pool. They can be inserted in any slots.

*7,100 W is a software limitation for BSC6910 to lower the impact to equipment room.
BSC6910 heat dissipation system has the capability to support 6000 W per subrack, and is ready for future evolution.
BSC6910 - Board Resource Pool
In BSC6910, a pair of EGPUa boards are
configured for resource management
processing (RMP) using 1+1 backup.
1. The service processing board EGPUa can be

configured as the UCUP mode for processing UMTS
services
2. Resources in the GSM and UMTS resource pools
cannot be automatically shared, but they can be
shared after the logical type of the EGPUa board is
changed.
3. Being different from the 1+1 master and backup SPUb
boards, the EGPUa boards in the two resource pools
both work in the master status and no backup EGPUa
boards are provided.
4. The UP part on the EGPUa board is not backed up,
which is similar to the DPUe board. The CP part is
backed up by software progresses hashed on the
neighboring boards. Upon faults, some progresses
enter the master state, replacing the functions of the
backup SPUb board.
BSC6910 - UCUP Resource Pool and
Resource Sharing
Resource Sharing (UMTS Only)
1. On UMTS networks, the traffic model changes frequently,

which greatly affects the processing capability of the
CP/UP. BSC6910 supports manual and automatic
capability sharing between the CP and UP.
2. When the EGPUa board is used for UCUP, the multiple
subsystems on the board are used for CP or UP
processing. The CP and UP are dynamically adjusted by
performing the following operations: Stop some
subsystems, then restart these subsystems and enable
them to use new software functions, and add them to a
new resource pool.

the status of subsystems and automatically adjust load.
* Introduction to the Automatic NodeB and Cell Allocation in the RNC Feature describes this feature.
* This feature is only applied in UMTS networks. This feature is not supported by GSM networks because the traffic model on GSM
networks is relatively table.

1. The UMTS dimensioning principles of BSC6910 is basically the same as BSC6900. The only
difference is that the dimension of an SPUb board and DPUe board is replaced by the
dimension of a EGPUa board.
2. The number of EGPUa boards on the CP and UP are calculated separately based on the
capability requirements of the network on the CP and UP. The following formula is used:
3. Total number of EGPUa boards = Number of EGPUa boards used on the CP + Number of
EGPUa boards used on the UP + One backup EGPUa board at least + Two EGPUa boards
used for resource management
4. The CPU overload threshold of the BSC6910 is 70%
BSC6910 - Hardware Capacity License
• The license control mechanism of BSC6910 is basically the same as BSC6900, including
feature licenses, system capacity licenses, and hardware licenses.
• The feature license functions based on features and is basically the same as that of the
BSC6900. (For details about the features supported by the BSC6910 and features not
supported by the BSC6910 but supported by the BSC6900, see the Feature List in RAN15.0.)
• The system capacity license has the same dimension as that of BSC6900. By default, 1 CS
Erlang is equal to 64 kbit/s PS throughput in the BSC6900. In the BSC6910, 1 CS Erlang is
equal to 24.4 kbit/s PS throughput. The conversion coefficient in the BSC6910 is commonly
used. If only the PS traffic capacity is for sales, the conversion coefficient customized for sales
is used.
• The new EGPUa board has a larger capacity and can be shared by the GSM and UMTS. A
hardware license is required to control the board capacity. The hardware license is similar to
that of the DPUe board of the BSC6900. The major difference is that the DPUe board has 335
Mbit/s capacity when the hardware license is not activated, while the EGPUa board has no
capacity if the hardware license is not activated. Hardware licenses include:
3G:
-Hardware capacity sold based on every 50 Mbit/s throughput on the RNC
-Hardware capacity sold based on every 1000 active users on the RNC (active users
refers to online users in the CELL_DCH state and CELL_FACH state.)
2G:
-Hardware capacity sold based on every TRX on the BSC
-Hardware capacity sold based on every PDCH on the BSC
BSC6910 - Power Consumption
Calculation
 Calculation Formula:
1. System power consumption = Pavg x Number of each type of boards + Pavg of fans)
2. Heat dissipation capability in the equipment room = System power consumption
3. Maximum subrack power consumption = 4,000 W, Maximum cabinet power consumption = 7,100 W
 Concepts:
• Average power consumption (Pavg) is the estimated value in a typical operating environment. The
maximum power consumption mentioned in hardware description is obtained when all devices on boards
are full-loaded. This maximum power consumption cannot be obtained under the actual system running
conditions. Therefore, Pavg is provided for power consumption calculation.
• Maximum subrack power consumption is 4,000 W (including the power consumption of fans) which is
obtained when all slots of the subrack are configured with boards. It is recommended that power
distribution be configured as 4000 W per subrack. This can save power distribution adjustment upon
future capacity expansion.
• Maximum cabinet power consumption is 7,100 W which is the upper limit of the heat dissipation
capability in the equipment room and obtained based on survey and research. Therefore, the maximum
cabinet power consumption is not 12,000 W.

Summary
With new hardware platforms, software platforms, and universal

processing boards, the BSC6910 achieves significant system capacity
expansion. Therefore, the BSC6910 can better adapt to the signaling
impact of smart phones on the network.
The tools and features for BSC6900 operation and maintenance (O&M)
are also used for BSC6910 O&M. Besides, BSC6910 O&M is simplified
by sharing the UP and CP and automatically allocating NodeBs and cells.
