Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 1
ZXPDSS P200 Product Description
� PDSN(Packet Data Serving Node)
PDSN is the gateway to access radio network and packet datanetwork. It provides Simple IP and Mobile IP access modes,which enables cdma2000 Mobile Station (MS) with packet dataservice to access Internet or Intranet.
� HA (Home Agent)
Home Agent (HA) is a router over the home network of MS. Itmanages information about current location of MS and estab-lishes correspondence between IP address of MS and IP ad-dress of MS a call is forwarded to. MS registers at HA beforemoving outside the registered network. HA delivers the pack-ets sent to MS to the forwarding address of MS through thetunnel between HA and FA. The packets are decapsulated andthen sent to MS. Thus mobile IP function is implemented.
Note: When ZXPDSS provides simple IP service, HA is unnec-essary. It is required only when mobile IP service is provided.
� LIS (Lawful Interception Server)
LIS implements information interaction between PDSN andlawful interception center.
� AAA (Authentication/Authorization/Accounting)
Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server isimplemented as a RADIUS server. AAA performs authentica-tion for users’ script files and authorization and accounting forthe data service. AAA also establishes new accounts of thedata service and performs management function.
� AN-AAA (Access Network-Authentication, Authorization, andAccounting)
AN-AAA server is implemented as a RADIUS server. It per-forms authentication for the access class of EV-DO network andverification for EV-DO client validity of EV-DO client, which isthe AN-Level verification. AN-AAA initiates and manages theEV-DO subscribers’ accounts.
In cdma2000 EV-DO network, there is no Circuit Switch (CS),which is included in original cdma2000 1X network. Therefore,when EV-DO subscriber access cdma2000 EV-DO network, theidentity verification is performed by AN-AAA instead of HLR,which is used normally in cdma2000 1X network for identityverification.
In ZXPDSS system, AN-AAA can be configured independentlyor in combination with AAA.
� OMC System
OMC system comprises of two parts:
OMC server
OMC client
OMC system implements the maintenance and managementfunctions for whole Packet Data Switching System.
� DBIO Server
DBIO module is the interface for the agent/billing interface toaccess the database. It implements various access operationsof the user database.

Alarm System Function Description
Client-end alarm systemDisplays, queries, prints alarms, displaysrack diagram, and executes man-machinecommands.
Alarm BoxA device with indicator lights and louderspeaker to indicate operation status of aswitch.
Configuration ZXPDSS alarm system is composed of the following:
� Alarm box
CPU is the most important part of alarm box. CPU receives thealarm information, which is sent from the background throughEthernet interface. During running state of the system, alarmbox prompts the current failures in the form of sound, light,liquid crystal display, short messages, and transmitted files.
Besides the sound, light and liquid crystal output, the alarmbox has mobile phone module and Modem module to sendalarm messages in the form of short message. If there is largeamount of information to be sent to the control center, it canbe implemented through Modem dial-up. The mobile phonemodule is normally put inside the alarm box and an externalmobile phone can also be connected through RS232/RS485 in-terface to perform the same function.
� OMC system
OMC system has two entities as follows:
� OMC server
OMC server is connected with the alarm box. It sends thealarm messages through TCP/IP protocol to the alarm boxand sends the alarm short massage to the specified num-ber through the mobile phone module on the alarm box.Alarm box displays the alarm message on the liquid crystaldisplay, and provides prompts with the alarm indicator lightand alarm tone. OMC server determines whether to trans-mit the error log files utilizing the mobile phone module.
� OMC Client
Through OMC client, user can set the alarm level requiredat which alarm box sends alarm short messages, and themobile phone number to which the short message is sent,and the number of the short message center, and the num-ber dialed to transmit files.
Hardware Configuration ofOther Devices

Supported PDSS FunctionsSimple IP Function
Description Simple IP is an access mode in which CDMA packet data networkprovides mobile users with data service. Users acquire dynamicand variable IP addresses while implementing data communicationin this access mode.
Details That users access to packet data network using mobile station insimple IP mode is similar to that users access to Internet usingfixed telephone through dialing on Modem.
While accessing to packet data network using simple IP function,a user acquires an IP address from the service access provider.This IP address is dynamic and variable. The user keeps the allo-cated IP address within the network covering a certain geographicscope. But if the user moves outside the geographic scope (cross-ing PDSNs), the system terminates the ongoing data communica-tion. The user must reinitiate the data communication.
Simple IP function only implements the data communication withMSs as callers. With simple IP mode, addresses are only allocatedwhile users accessing, so the IP address resources occupied in thismode is comparatively less.
While users accessing in simple IP mode, the serving PDSN or theserving AAA allocates dynamic IP addresses for mobile stationsand provides IP route service. PPP protocol is utilized betweenmobile stations and PDSN as the data link protocol.
Mobile IP Function
Description Mobile IP function is another access mode in which CDMA packetdata network provides mobile users with data service. Users ac-

ZXPDSS P200 Product Description
quire permanent and IP addresses constant while implementingdata communication in this access mode.
Details Mobile IP function is a solution of providing mobile data commu-nication function over global Internet. When users access in mo-bile IP mode, they can move to anywhere within CDMA networkscope or other network scope and keep identical IP address. Thatmeans MS keeps the ongoing data communication even if it crossesPDSNs.
Mobile IP function implements data communication when MS is thecalled party.
Mobility Management Function
Description The mobility management of the system enables MS to keep theoriginal PPP session with PDSN while handing over within PCF,crossing PCFs within PDSN, or crossing PDSNs.
Handover withinPCF
The system enables MS to hand over within one PCF.
While handing over within PCF, the R-P session between PCF andPDSN still goes on, because PDSN does nothing in controlling thiskind of handover.
HandoverCrossing PCFswithin PDSN
The system enables MS to hand over crossing PCFs within onePDSN. PDSN supports unique R-P session between each MS andPCF. PDSN interacts with the two PCFs before and after handoverof MS through A11 interface, releases the R-P session with the for-mer PCF, and creates the R-P session with the latter PCF. Thus thehandover between PCFs is done without terminating the originalPPP session.
HandoverCrossing PDSNs
The system enables MS to hand over crossing PDSNs in mobile IPmode.
When a MS with mobile IP service hands over crossing PDSNs, thePPP session between the MS and the target PDSN is created, andthe MS reinitiates mobile IP registration, informing HA to updatethe forwarding address, in order to keep the mobile IP session. Theresource PDSN initiates release of the original R-P session and PPPsession after the mobile IP registration timer times out.
1X/EV-DO User Access Function
Description When ZXPDSS provides AN-AAA, and supports EV-DO user accessauthentication complying with the definition for A12 interface, itsupports both 1X and EV-DO users to access.
Details 1X users still access to IP network through BSC/PCF and PDSN.AAA performs user authentication. ZXPDSS provides 1X users withwireless data service capacity of 153.5kbps.
EV-DO users access to network through EV-DO AN, EV-DO PCFand PDSN. AN-AAA performs AN-Level authentication on users.ZXPDSS provides EV-DO Rev 0 users with wireless data servicecapacity up to 2 Mbps. And ZXPDSS provides EV-DO Rev A userswith wireless data service capacity up to 3.1Mbps.

Chapter 5 Function Description
Multi-ISP Access Function
Description When carriers implement packet data service, they can alterna-tively introduce multiple ISPs for cooperation besides providingpublic IP network resource for users. Different users access to dif-ferent ISPs. Thus enrich the ISP services provided for users andprolong the product chain of carriers.
Details ZXPDSS supports multiple ISPs to access, and provides three ISPselection schemes.
� Selecting ISP based on the ISP address information in sign-upinformation of users.
� Users’ sign-up information is included in users’ sign-up in-formation of home AAA, in which authentication informa-tion related with ISP, such as ISP Server (LNS) address, isincluded.
� When users access, the home AAA determines that theuser’s sign-up information includes ISP information, thenit returns the ISP information to PDSN in the message Ac-cess Accept.
� Selecting ISP based on the Domain information of the sign-upattributes of users.
The users’ sign-up information saved in the home AAA com-prises information about users’ domain.
� In the home AAA, the correspondence between users’ do-main and ISP is configured.
� When users access, the home AAA matches the domaininformation in users’ sign-up information with the ISP in-formation configured in AAA system, determines which ISPa user belongs to, and returns the ISP information to PDSNin the message Access Accept.
� Select ISP based on the realm information in users’ NAI.
� In the Home AAA, the correspondence between the realmof user NAI (with a format of UserName@Realm) and ISPis configured.
� When users access, the Home AAA matches the realm in-formation comprised in user NAI with the ISP informationconfigured in AAA, determines which ISP a user belongsto, and returns the ISP information to PDSN in the mes-sage Access Accept.
IP Class-Based User ClassificationFunction
Description ZXPDSS supports user classification based on IP class. Differentaccess policies are configured for each IP section through routesand firewalls of the system.
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 35
ZXPDSS P200 Product Description
Details In ZXPDSS, different access policies can be configured for eachIP section through routes and firewalls of the system. And usersof different classes can be allocated with addresses of different IPsections (including public network and private network addresses)from different IP address pools. Thus different users accessing topacket access system have different access resources and author-ities.
IP Address Binding Function
Description ZXPDSS supports binding of users and IP addresses in simple IPservice mode.
Details For standard simple IP service, when users log in, ZXPDSS dynam-ically allocates IP addresses for terminals and the addresses dy-namically changes. User can only make a call but can not be called.In other words, the other hosts over the network cannot activelyaccess to this mobile terminal. As a result, such characteristic ser-vices as point-to-point communication, dynamic video monitoringand video conference are unavailable. In addition, when simple IPaccess users initiate inter-PDSN handoff, service termination usu-ally occurs due to dynamic IP address assignment.
IP address binding technology implements sustained service uponinter-PDSN handoff occurs in simple IP access mode. Meanwhile,ZXPDSS supports point-to-point communication, dynamic videomonitoring and other functions which are only supported by mo-bile IP communication.
Always Online Function
Description ZXPDSS supports always online function for users and detects thestates of terminals periodically. If it finds a terminal in standbymode, it actively activates the user.
Details ZXPDSS supports always online users, and holds specific serviceterminals, such as bank service terminal and video monitoring ter-minal, always activated. In always online mode, the system main-tains the service connection and makes it free from release due totimeout, regularly detects the activity states of the terminals, andautomatically activates terminals in standby mode.
WAP User Access Function
Description To enable WAP users to log into the WAP gateway through ZXPDSS,AAA supports transmission of user’s UDR information to the WAPgateway.
Details When a WAP user logs in PDSN to get online:
1. PDSN sends the Accounting Start message to AAA.
AAA determines this user as WAP user.
36 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION
Chapter 5 Function Description
2. AAA forwards the Accounting Start message to the WAP gate-way.
WAP determines that the user is online based on this message,and then records the correspondence between the user’s IPaddress and IMSI.
3. After this, PDSN sends the IP data message of the WAP userto the WAP gateway. Thus comprehensive WAP service is im-plemented.
When the WAP user gets offline, PDSN sends the AccountingStop message to AAA. AAA determines this user as WAP user,and then forwards the Accounting Stop message to the WAPgateway, which determines the user as offline based on thismessage.
Domain User Access Function
Description ZXPDSS supports users accessing with different domain postfixes(for example. user@realm). PDSN accesses to different AAAs(Visit AAA or Home AAA) according to the domain postfixes toperform authentication and accounting.
Details When Home AAA of a domain subscriber and Home AAA of othernon-domain subscribers are not in the same network, the accessmode mentioned above can be considered. Different from the VPNaccess modes (such as L2TP), in this mode, the subscriber onlyneeds to open an account in AAA of VPN network. When the sub-scriber accesses to PDSN, PDSN is directly connected to that AAAfor authentication and accounting. Besides, it is unnecessary toaccess through a tunnel when accessing to the VPN network of adomain subscriber.
Besides authentication at different AAAs, PDSN may also distributeIP address specified by PDSN (or AAA) for domain subscribers, todistinguish them from common non-domain subscribers. Differentdomain users accept authentication and accounting at differentAAAs.
Local CDR Cache Function
Description PDSN of ZXPDSS has CDR cache function and stores the account-ing information of users in local disk.
Details The CDR cache function of PDSN is represented in two aspects:
� While the accounting server (that is AAA server) is down, PDSNstores the Accounting Start and Accounting Stop messages tobe sent in local directory.
� When the accounting server restores, PDSN sends the account-ing record stored in local disk to the server.
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 37
ZXPDSS P200 Product Description
Local Authentication Function
Description When the communication between PDSN and AAA is interrupted,user authentication can be performed at PDSN to guarantee thesuccess of users in accessing.
Details In some cases, users may fail in accessing due to intermediatetransmission network faults or AAA server abnormalities. In orderto guarantee the success of users in accessing and improve theexperience of users, PDSN automatically activates local authenti-cation mechanism after it detects that the remote AAA does notrespond to successive access requests. Meanwhile, PDSN regu-larly detects the status of AAA server. When AAA server restores,the subsequent access requests of users are authenticated at AAAserver.
Operation and Maintenance Function
Description The operation and maintenance system OMC of ZXPDSS performsfunctions such as system management, fault management, per-formance management, configuration management, and systemtool.
Details The functions of the subsystems of OMC are described as follows:
� System management subsystem

Multi-service Connection Function
Description Users can map different services to different A10 links throughcreating auxiliary connections besides main connection.
Details Besides web exploring, FTP downloading, in packet data service,a subscriber may request such QoS guaranteed advanced servicessuch as VoIP and online video. For the purpose of carrying outservices that require high-degree QoS guarantee, auxiliary con-nections may be created for users besides the main connection.
Here, main service connection is created when packet data ser-vice is initially created, providing QoS guarantee of Best-effort bydefault.
Auxiliary service connections are normally used to carry out ser-vices requiring special QoS guarantee such as VoIP. PDSN mapsservices of different QoS guarantees to different A10 links accord-ing to TFT template negotiated with AT terminal and authorized byservices.
Enhanced Multi-stream Function
Description PDSN provides enhanced multi-steam function to optimize datatransmission channel and reduce message transmission latency.With this function, real-time services such as VoIP, video tele-phone, and video on demand are better implemented.
Details In order to better support latency-sensitive real-time services suchas VoIP, video telephone, and video on demand services, to opti-mize the data transmission channel for the type of services andreduce transmission latency, PDSN supports segment-based frag-ment.
Bandwidth Limitation Function
Description To protect investment of carriers better and provide users with di-versified service qualities, ZXPDSS supports user bandwidth limi-tation function, to control the largest available bandwidth for users’uplink and downlink media stream.
Details PDSN detects, monitors, and measures the transmission rate ofusers’ media stream in real time according to the limited band-width authorized by AAA. When the rate exceeds the thresholdvalue, traffic shaping is performed to stabilize the message trans-mission rate and protect the investment of carriers.
Access Control Function
Description ZXPDSS implements access control function based on differentusers.
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 39
ZXPDSS P200 Product Description
Details ZXPDSS supports PAP/CHAP based service authentication to verifywhether users are valid or not. Additionally, the system supports1x/DO access control. PDSN can set whether 1x users or DO usersare allowable to access special services. Thus refined service con-trol is implemented.
IP Address Allocation Function
Description ZXPDSS supports diversified IP address allocation policies to meetdifferent requirements.
IP Address Pool PDSN allocates different IP address pools and IP addresses for dif-ferent users.
� Different IP address pools are allocated to distinguish usernames and domain names.
PDSN allocates IP address pools independent from each otherfor different users. With this IP address allocation policy, pub-lic network and office network users and value-added serviceusers use independent IP address pool. The IP addresses ofdifferent users are separated from one another, and policiescan be set to prohibit accessing between different users.
� Different IP addresses are allocated to distinguish public net-work and private network.
PDSN allocates IP addresses of different types for differentusers. With this mode, different IP addresses are allocated todistinguish public network and value-added service network.Users of different networks use respective routes. And policiescan be set to prohibit users of different networks from data in-teracting.
IP AddressAllocation Mode
PDSN supports the following IP address allocation modes:
� Supporting dynamic and static IP address allocation
PDSN supports MS to allocate IP address dynamically. Everytime users call, PDSN dynamically allocates a free IP addressfor the MS. This allocation mode is applicable for the conditionthat the number of current users is much larger than that ofIP addresses because only online users are allocated with IPaddresses.
In addition, PDSN supports allocating fixed IP addresses forMSs. In this case, PDSN supports AAA to specify an IP addressfor a MS in authorization attributes. If PDSN checks and de-termines that the IP address is valid, it allocates the addressto a user.
� Supporting AAA to specify IP address
PDSN supports allocating special IP addresses for usersthrough AAA authorizing special IP addresses from IP addresspool. And it can be set that users having no authority can notuse the IP address pool.
� Supporting IP address allocation based on privileges
In PDSN, users can be allocated with IP addresses of high-privilege IP address pool through configuring IP address poolprivileges.

Description QoS (Quality of Service) is used to control the quality of transmis-sion.
PDSN adopts Diffserv QoS guarantee mode, which is used to con-trol the user IP message stream from PI interface and IP mes-sage stream of A10 carrier from RP interface. PDSN performsDSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) of IP message steamand queuing and scheduling of messages based on DSCP value.
DiffServ is a multi-service model and meets different QoS require-ments. Different from IntServ, DiffServ does not need RSVP. Thatis to say, before application sending out messages, there is no needto inform routers to reserve resources. For DiffServ service mode,the network does not need to maintain the status of each stream.

L2TP-based VPN Service
Description Data VPN service means providing packet data users with ability ofaccessing remote servers internal enterprises or fleets. The usedtechnologies include the access ability of the system, carrier abilityof packet network, IP tunnel technique, and IP security technique.Users access to these remote servers just like accessing to theservers of their own enterprises and fleets. They can use variousdata services provided by the remote servers, forming a data vir-tual special network of their enterprises and fleets. All data virtualnetworks share the network resources but are independent of eachother while working.
Details L2TP-based VPN access scheme is introduced as below:
� L2TP tunnel is a kind of two-level tunnel technique, utilizing IPnetwork to create L2TP tunnel. Data is encapsulated into PPPand transmitted through L2TP tunnel.
� PDSN performs LAC (L2TP Access Concentrator) function, cre-ating and maintaining L2TP session with LNS (L2TP NetworkServer) of enterprise networks, and forwarding PPP negotia-tion. LNS is the access server positioned internal enterprises.
� The ending points of PPP session are MS and LNS. PPP mes-sages are sent from MS to LAC, which sends the messages toLNS through L2TP tunnel.
Multi-VRF VPN Service
Description Through VRF (Virtual Routing Forwarding) mode, PDSN can con-nect with VPN network through directly utilizing route instead oftunnel encapsulating. In this case, PDSN searches and processesdata messages of various VPN users through combining specialVPN route forwarding table and 802.1Q VLAN protocol.
Details PDSN creates individual VPN route forwarding table for every kindof VPN users. Different kinds of users use their own route forward-ing tables. Thus PDSN is directly connected with VPN network andforwards data information between users’ terminals and VPN net-work.
After users accessing to PDSN, PDSN searches route for user datafrom the route forwarding table specified by VPN, and forwardsuser data through the specified sub-interface. The messageheader is marked with VLAN ID of the user data. After PDSNreceiving the user data messages with specified VLAN ID, itdetermines the VPN attributes of users according to VLAN ID, andthen forwards the messages to users.

Requirements for GroundDescription To guarantee long-time security, stability and reliability of the sys-
tem, decrease the failure rate of devices caused by environmentalfactors, and prolong the lifetime of devices, the grounding condi-tion of the devices should meet correspondent requirements.
Significance Grounding plays an important role in guaranteeing a good electro-magnetic condition and anti-interference ability of the operatingenvironment of the principal and auxiliary equipment in the sys-tem, which requires high attention.
Required Index Grounding resistance must be less than 1 Ω, thus various factorsthat affect the grounding resistance shall be taken into account,such as the soil condition, resistances of grounding devices andgrounding cables.
� Soil type influences the grounding resistance. For areas withpoor soil conditions, auxiliary chemical agents (such as prope-namide) may be used around the grounding post to reduce thesoil resistance and the contact resistance between the soil andthe grounding post.
Temperature and humidity also affects the grounding resis-tance. When the temperature is lower than 0℃ or the humidityis too low, the grounding resistance varies greatly. Hence, thegrounding post may be buried deeply and the chemical auxil-iaries may be added to meet the requirements for groundingresistance.

� Connecting cables between the grounding post and the ground-ing bolt on principal equipment of the system should be madeof copper core, with a large-enough cross section area gener-ally no less than 50 mm2. These cables must be as short aspossible. The cross section area of the copper wire should befurther enlarged when the length exceeds 50 m.
Both ends of the connection wire should experience tinning orthermal tin dipping processing, and the coating, varnish, paintand oxidized layer should be removed from the fastening pointsto guarantee good contact between the two metal surfaces.
The grounding posts should be angle irons not less than 2 m inlength, and the ground grid is preferred if conditions permit.
� Before commissioning, carriers should measure the accurateground resistance and provide data for the engineers of ZTE.If the grounding resistance does not meet the requirement,no commissioning can get started until accepted by relevantdepartments of ZTE.
Requirements forTemperature and Humidity
Description To guarantee long-time security, stability and reliability of the sys-tem, decrease the failure rate of devices caused by environmentalfactor, and prolong the lifetime of devices, the temperature andhumidity should meet the requirements of ZXPDSS.
Significance If the temperature and humidity within the equipment room is toohigh or too low, the lifetime of the devices may be shortened.
Required Index In order to ensure that the environmental condition of the de-vices meets the recommended requirement, air-conditioner andventilation equipment must be installed. Generally, yearly-oper-ated air-conditioner should be arranged in main equipment room,and seasonal air-conditioner in auxiliary equipment room accord-ing to actual conditions (climate and economic conditions of thesubscribers) must be installed.
The basic requirements for air-conditioners are as followed:
� Humidity Scope: 20%~90%
� Temperature Scope: 0℃~40℃Reference The capacity of the ventilation system of the air-conditioner is de-
termined through calculating the heating quantity of the main de-vices in the system, plus the heat from the exterior heat resources(e.g. heat from the sunlight into the equipment room through win-dows and walls, heat from the maintenance personnel and the heatbrought in by the maintenance personnel from outside).
For the purpose of security and reliability in the air-conditioner andventilation system, double sets of air-conditioners are required,especially in the main equipment room. The capacity of the eachset should be at least more than half of the required total capacityfor the air-conditioner.

Chapter 9 Environment Requirements
Sealing condition of the equipment room should not be damagedwhile installing the air-conditioner. In addition, the ratio of freshair into the equipment room should be no less than 5%, to guar-antee comparatively fresh air.
Since the hot air flow is generally upward moving, cooling pro-vided for the main equipment of the system adopts the mode ofexhausting air upward. Therefore, when central air-conditioningsystem is installed, the ventilation mode may be selected to sup-ply air upward and return air downward. The air intake is arrangedunder movable floor for easy cooling of machines. Generally, airsupply pipe is not installed on the top, to ensure that no conden-sation occurs at any condition.
Typically, air-conditioners with function of regulating humidityshould be installed in large equipment room, while commoncabinet or window air conditioner will do in small equipment room.
Negative ImpactIf Requirements
Are Not Met
There would be negative impact on the system if the system re-quirements mentioned above are not met. For example, if thetemperature is 10℃ above the normal temperature, the lifetime ofthe equipment is reduced by half or so; if the temperature is toolow, the performance of the optical devices, crystals can not beguaranteed; if the relative humidity is too high for a long time, theinsulating performance of some insulating materials may degrade,and even leakage may occur, besides, various metal parts may getrusted; if the relative humidity is too low for a long time, the in-sulating gasket may shrink and cause the fastening bolts less fas-tened, and it may probably lead to strong electrostatic discharge,that may cause damage to the CMOS circuit of the equipment.
