The BSC6900 can be flexibly configured as a BSC6900 GSM only, BSC6900 UMTS
only, or BSC6900 GU as required in different networks. The BSC6900 GSM, in
compliance with the 3GPP R9, operates as an independent NE to access the GSM
network and performs the functions of the GSM BSC. With the support of EDGE+, the
BSC6900 GSM can be upgraded to the BSC6900 GU through addition of UMTS boards
and software upgrade.
P-10
The BSC6900 has a small variety of boards, such as the interface processing board, OM board,
switching processing board, signaling processing board, service processing board, and clock
processing board. The simplification of board types reduces the maintenance cost. The
interface processing boards and service processing boards are flexible in configuration and easy
to maintain and expand because they are not bound.
The BSC6900 caters to the mobile network requirements for high capacity with few sites,
therefore requiring a smaller equipment room and less power consumption. In addition, the
BSC6900 meets the increasing requirements of the fast growth of services and protects the
investment of the operator.
Based on its all-IP platform, the BSC6900 betters the PS service performance. The interfaces
support IP transmission, which provides sufficient bandwidth and saves transmission cost.
Based on the unified all-IP platform in the UMTS and GSM networks, the BSC6900 UMTS
conforms to the growing trend of broadband in the wireless network and meets the
requirements for network convergence and evolution.
The BSC6900 is compatible with the hardware configuration of the BSC6810. Through
software loading, the BSC6810 in the existing network can be upgraded to the BSC6900
UMTS. The BSC6900 UMTS can be added with hardware and software of BSC6900 GSM to
evolve to BSC6900 GU. This saves the investment of the operator.

The Gigabit Ethernet (GE) switching subsystem performs GE switching of signaling and OM
information. The SCU performs OM of the subrack where it is located and performs GE
switching for other boards in the subrack.
The MAC switching logical modules switch the IP traffic data, OM signals, and signaling. The
switching is performed by the SCU boards and the Ethernet cables between the SCU boards.
The MPS functions as the main subrack, and a maximum of five EPSs function as
extension subracks. The star interconnections between the MPS and the EPSs are
established through the Ethernet cables between the SCU boards.

The MAC switching logical module switches the ATM-based or IP-based traffic data, OM signals, and
signaling. The switching is performed by the SCU boards and the straight-through cables between the
SCU boards. The MPS serves as the main subrack, and a maximum of five EPSs serve as extension
subracks. The star interconnections between the MPS and the EPSs are established through the
straight-through cables between the SCU boards.
Each subrack can be configured with two SCU boards. The SCU boards work in full-interconnection and
dual-plane mode and enable connection of subracks.
Port trunking enables multiple physical ports to be grouped into one logical port
port. This technology helps
enhance reliability of data transmission.
Port trunking works in trunk groups. Multiple physical links form a trunk group. If a physical link in the
trunk group becomes unavailable, the data carried on the faulty link is transmitted on other links in the
trunk group. Therefore, the link failure does not disrupt proper communication between both ends of
the trunk group.
The traffic on the trunk group can reach a maximum of the total traffic on all the physical links in the
trunk group. Port trunking helps enhance transmission reliability and increase transmission bandwidth.
The bandwidth of a trunk group is allocated to each GE port so that load is balanced among GE ports.
If a GE port in a trunk group is faulty, the links on the GE port are switched over automatically.
If the SCU board or a service processing board is faulty, the links cannot be switched over.

The SCUa board provides maintenance management and GE switching for the subrack where
it is located. It is used to implement MAC switching and provide interconnections between all
modules in a BSC6900.

The OMUa board is the Back Administration Module (BAM) of the RNC. The OMUa boards are
connected to external devices through Ethernet cables. The OMUa board serves as a bridge
between Front Administration Module (FAM) and OSS system. Based on the OMUa board, the
OM network of the RNC is divided into the following networks:
Internal network: serves the communication between the OMUa and the RNC host.
External network: serves the communication between the OMUa board and the OSS

The SCUa board performs OM on other boards in the same subrack through the backplane
channels.
The O&M subsystem provides powerful OM functions, including security management, log
management, configuration management, performance management, alarm management,
message tracing,
tracing loading management,

The dual OM plane design is implemented by the hardware that works in active/standby
mode. When an active component is faulty but the standby component works properly, a
switchover is automatically performed between the active and standby components, to
ensure that the OM channel works properly.
The active/standby OMUa boards use the same external virtual IP address to communicate
with the LMT or M2000 and use the same internal virtual IP address to communicate with the
SCUa board.

When a single

The system uses the multi-level cascaded and distributed cluster control mode. Several CPUs
form a cluster processing system. Each module has distinct functions. The communication
channels between modules are based on the backup design or anti-suspension/breakdown
design.
The system uses the redundancy design to support hot swap of boards and backup of
important modules. Therefore, the system has a strong error tolerance capability.
