Functions Implemented by RNC

Service function Besides the basic telecom services, ZXWR RNC can also implement the following

services: positioning service, R99, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+ and MBMS service;

Interface signaling processing function The interface signaling processing function mainly refers to processing the control

planes of the interfaces, including: assigning and releasing of the radio accessbearer, security mode control, logical operation and maintenance of Node B,synchronization, sending and receiving NAS message, system message broadcast,paging support;

Radio Resources Management The Radio Resource Management (RRM) function can be used to assign the air

interface resources, guarantee the QoS of the system, obtain the planned coverageand expand the capacity. The RRM includes:Radio measurement, access control(AC), load control (LC), power control (PC), packet scheduling (PS), handovercontrol (HC) and dynamic radio bearer control (DRBC);

Data Transmission The data transmission function includes user data transmission and signaling data

transmission. It is used to complete the processing of Iuup/RLC/MAC/FP, dataencryption, Mac-C and Mac-hs flow control. It provides the end-to-end datatransmission for the users.

Shelf/Interface Shelf

Differences between the Iub access functions of the interface shelf and the

resource shelf: The interface shelf and resource shelf both can provide Iub access.

When the Iub access uses the high-speed IP interface (only Ethernet

interface is supported currently) , the Iub interface is directly connected to

the resource shelf.

When the Iub access uses ATM interface or low-speed IP interface, the

access is processed by the interface shelf, And the service data are sent

to the resource shelf via the switch shelf. Definition of 1000M Interface Shelf

The 1000M Interface Shelf is a type of shelf that is only used for Iub

access.

Functions of 1000M Interface Shelf Provides ATM access for the Iub interface.

Provide IP access (high speed IP interface) for the Iub interface.

Note: Low-speed IP access usually refers to that the physical layer uses E1/T1

or the CSTM-1 and the upper layer is IP layer.

High-speed IP access usually refers to IP Over Ethernet.

Placement Rules: 2 PSN boards (in active/standby mode) to provide global switching.

GLI is responsible for accessing the resource shelves and interfaceshelves, and the accesses are gathered to PSN for switching. Eachpair of GLI boards can access 2 resource shelves or interfaceshelves. 4 pairs of GLI boards can access 2 resource shelves orinterface shelves.

Slot 11 to 14 can be reserved for the active/standby SBCX of OMM.

Network Management Networking Scheme

Suggestions for Usage:

Ordinary users can use the NetNumen network management system.

Advanced users can use the OMM network management system.


42/46

ZXTR RNC supports multiple IP UTRAN networking

modes. Based on the type of the

transmission network and

the interfaces, the IP

UTRAN can adopt the

following networking

modes:

IP UTRAN networking based

on the ATM network.

IP UTRAN networking based

on the SDH network. IP UTRAN networking based

on the IP MAN.

Hybrid mode, i.e. the split

transmission mode.

IP UTRAN Networking Based on SDH Network

The RNS equipment is connected to the SDH network via the E1 orchannelized STM-1 interface. The SDH network implements transparenttransmission. There is no need to add routers and switches.

Usually, the traditional operator has its own SDH network and rich resources,so it is suggested to construct the IP UTRAN network based on the existingSDH network.

IP UTRAN Networking Based on IP MAN

The RNC and Node B are directlyconnected to the MAN via theedge router by GE/FE interface.

IP MAN

The IP Man can be an IP backbone network that uses high-speed routers as the

core equipment, or a MAN using MPLS technology, or a MAN uses the MSTP

with embedded RPR technology.

In the future, the UTRAN services transmission via IP MAN will become the

main IP UTRAN networking mode.

RNC Node B


44/46

Split Transmission of IP UTRAN

When bearing the traffic between the RNC and NodeB, the Iub interface assignsdifferent physical mediums and bandwidths for the large-traffic NodeB according to theservice types.

Data services (e.g. HSDPA) should be transmitted via high-speed interfaces (e.g. FE) inorder to reduce the cost of networking, because they have huge peak traffic, largedynamic range of peak-to-average ratio and frequent traffic burst,

Signaling, voice, operation & maintenance services should be transmitted via E1/T1 links,because they need to be processed in real time.

As for the transmission mode of ZXWR RNC, the Iub

transmission to each Node B can be configured

independently.

Based on the flexible configuration of the transmission

interfaces of ZXWR RNC, it is easy to implement

multiple IP UTRAN networking modes.

The site with rich TDM transmission resources

can choose to transmit all the services via the

TDM network.

The site with rich IP data network can choose

to transmit the services via IP network.

If the site has both transmission resources, it

can choose to transmit the session services via

the TNM network, and the other services via

the IP data network.
