the UE
Iub interface: interface between the BSC6900 UMTS and the NodeB
Iur interface: interface between the BSC6900 UMTS and other RNCs
Iu-CS interface: interface between the BSC6900 UMTS and the Mobile Switching

Iu-PS interface: interface between the BSC6900 UMTS and the Serving GPRS
Support Node (SGSN)
Iu-BC interface: interface between the BSC6900 UMTS and the CBC
The interfaces between the BSC6900 GSM and each NE in the GSM network are as follows:
Um: interface between the BSC6900 GSM and the MS
Abis: interface between the BSC6900 GSM and the BTS
A: interface between the BSC6900 GSM and the MSC or MGW
Gb: interface between the BSC6900 GSM and the SGSN
The A, Um, and Gb interfaces are standard interfaces and support interconnections
with equipment of other vendors.
The BSC6900 GU performs functions such as radio resource management, base
station management, power control, and handover control.
P-6
The system capacity of the BSC6900 GU cannot reach the maximum in the UMTS network
and GSM network at the same time.
The BSC6900 V900R012 is added with the following new boards: SPUb, XPUb, DPUe,
DPUf, SCUb, AOUc, FG2c, GOUc, POUc, and UOIc. Other boards are inherited from the
BSC6000 V900R008 and BSC6810 V200R011, and they can be used directly after the
BSC6000 or BSC6810 is upgraded to the BSC6900 GU.
P-7
The BSC6900 is compatible with the hardware of the BSC6810 and BSC6000. Through
software loading, the BSC6810 and BSC6000 in the existing network can be upgraded to
the BSC6900.

DPI indicates that the first 20 bytes after the UDP/TCP header of a packet are
identified after traffic classification on the basis of the quintuple information. The
first 20 bytes after the UDP/TCP header contains the key information about the
application layer. Therefore, DPI is a feature referred to the application layer.
P-10
In BM/TC combined mode, the BSC is not configured with the TCS. The boards that
implement the TC functions are inserted into the slots in the MPS or EPS. With the same
capacity, fewer cabinets and subracks are required in the BSC, therefore increasing the
hardware integration.
When the BSC is located in a remote equipment room, it is configured in BM/TC separated
mode. The BSC is configured with a separate TCS, which is located in a TransCoder Rack
(TCR) on the MSC side. Therefore, the transmission resources between the BSC and the
MSC are saved.
In A over IP mode, the BSC directly connects to the Huawei core network without using
the TC, therefore protecting the operator's investment and improving the voice quality due
to the reduction of encoding and decoding. The A over IP mode meets the needs for
network evolution.
P-11
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 R7, 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-12
P-13
The BSC6900 integrates the two separate OM systems of the traditional GSM network and
UMTS network into a uniform OM system, therefore improving the user experience and
the efficiency in maintaining the multi-RAT system.
The simple network architecture speeds up troubleshooting and reduces the power
consumption, and therefore lowers the OM costs.
The OM system of the BSC6900 uses the web-based LMT, which need not be installed
with any OM software. You can connect the LMT to the OMUa to perform OM functions
and obtain the online help of the LMT. All the operation results are displayed on the LMT

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.
Port trunking enables multiple physical ports to be grouped into one logical 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.
Port trunking is supported by the GE port on the SCUa board.
Port trunking is supported by the switching subsystem of an RNC.
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 BSC6900 can use the Building Integrated Timing Supply System (BITS), Global
Positioning System (GPS), LINE, and 8 kHz clocks.
The internal clock processing process of an RNC is as follows:
The clock module in the GCUa/GCGa board receives clock signals.
Through the clock output port on the GCUa/GCGa board, the clock module sends
the 8 kHz clock signals to the SCUa boards in the MPS and each EPS.
System clock signals of 19.44 MHz, 32.768 MHz, and 8 kHz are generated in the
MPS and each EPS and sent to other boards in each subrack.
The AEUa and PEUa boards obtain the 32.768 MHz clock signals.
The AOUa and POUc boards obtain the 19.44 MHz clock signals.
The FG2c and GOUc boards do not use the clock signals from the clock
module in the GCUa/GCGa board.
The Iub/Abis-interface board forwards clock signals to BTSs or NodeBs.
If the line clock is obtained from the CN through an interface board in an EPS, the clock
signals can be sent out through the 2 MHz clock output port on the interface board to the
GCUa/GCGa board by using a clock signal cable.
If the BSC6900 is configured with a Gb interface board, the Gb interface board can obtain
clock signals either through the backplane in the subrack where the Gb interface board is
located or from the CN. When the CS and PS data use different clock sources and clock
signals are obtained from the CN, the Gb interface cannot share a board with other
interfaces.

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 the active OMUa board is faulty, an active/standby switchover is performed
automatically, and the standby OMUa board takes over the OM task. In this case, the
internal and external virtual IP addresses remain unchanged. Therefore, proper
communication between the internal and external networks of the BSC6900 is ensured.
When a single fault occurs on the switching network, the active/standby SCUa boards in
each subrack are switched over automatically to ensure that the OM channel works
properly.
