RNC

RNC

The RNC can connect and switch with IP backbone network through the interface
shelf. If the IP backbone network provides high-rate GE interfaces, direct access to
the RNC resource shelf is also acceptable. Choose suitable access mode according
to the application.

Iub/Iur Interface
 Hybrid Networking and Transmission Mode

Depending on different sites, use IP network in some sites and use the traditional SDH
transmission in other sites. Depending on different services, use SDH network with the
ciruit service and use IP backbone network with packet service.

Networking Solutions for Iub Interface

 In terms of the Iub interface networking topology, ZXWR

RNC supports:
 Star networking mode
 Chain networking mode
 Ring networking mode (transmission network support
required)
 Hybrid networking mode
 Internal Only▲

Star Networking

 In the star networking mode, ZXWR RNC directly connects with each
Node B, all of which are terminal equipment.
 This networking mode is simple and easy to maintenance and
construction, with fewer intermediate links along the signal path and
higher reliability. Generally, it is used in urban areas with large
population.
 Internal Only▲

Chain Networking

 In the chain networking mode, signals pass more links, so the ling
reliability is poorer.
 The chain networking mode is suitable for zonal sparsely-populated areas,
where it can save much transmission equipment. This mode is also
applicable to one site with multiple Node Bs.
 In actual engineering networking, the chain networking is different from
the basic networking in the fact that transmission equipment is generally
used between ZXWR RNC and Node B as intermediate connection
because the sites are always dispersive. The commonly used
transmission media include microwave, optical cable, HDSL and coaxial
cable.

Networking Solutions for Iu Interface

 The Iu interface is the interface between RNC and MSC, SGSN,
and MGW, and supports the ATM protocol and the IP protocol.
By using the MSTP technology, the Iu interface can form an ATM
VP-Ring with convergence and statistical multiplexing functions
for high-efficiency service transmission from RNC to MSC and
SGSN.
