Impacts of the IP Transformation

The Abis interface supports the traditional TDM mode, IP transformation. The
transmission mode of the Abis interface is not related to the structure (BM/TC
separated modeBM/TC combined mode, A IP mode) of the A interface. A
built-in PCU or an external PCU can be configured for the BSC. When an
external PCU is configured, the BSC does not support PS services in cells
using IP transformation
When the A interface adopts IP transformation, the TC function is moved to
MGW. The A interface using IP requires that the CN uses a softswitch-based
structure, and the MSC server and MGW are reconstructed. It is not related to
the Abis interface, PCU (internal or external), or Gb interface.

If the MSC and the BSC are in different central equipment rooms, place the TC
resource subrack in the same equipment room as the MSC to save transmission
resources. The reason is as follows: The circuits from the TC subrack are standard 64
kbit/s PCM circuits, while the circuits between the business processing subrack and
the TC resource subrack adopt 16 kbit/s (full rate voice service) or 8 kbit/s (half rate
voice service) voice coding and the 4:1 or 8:1 multiplexing mode. Therefore, remote
deployment of TCs can save about 75% to 87.5% transmission resources.

BHCA: Busy Hour Call Attempts.

The number of call attempts during the busiest hour of the day. BHCA cover
successful calls and unsuccessful call attempts.
Erlang: A unit of measurement of telephone traffic.
It is equal to one hour of conversation. It also specifies the approximate
number of trunks in use; for example, if the traffic in a call center is 8.5 Erlangs
in one hour, more than 8 trunks were used in that hour. Reference

ESL: extended signaling link of the BTS. If the BTS supports Flex Abis, in the case of
statistical multiplexing on a 64 kbit/s timeslot, a 64 kbit/s timeslot needs to be
assigned to the ESL. In this case, the ESL is always multiplexed with the OML in the
64 kbit/s timeslot. In the case of physical multiplexing on a 16 kbit/s timeslot, no
timeslot is assigned to the ESL. In this case, the ESL shares the same timeslot with
the OML.

P-35

Note
By default, the multiplexing ratio of Abis interface signaling links is 4:1, that is,
four RSLs or OMLs share 64 kbit/s bandwidth.
For HR traffic, the multiplexing ratio of Abis interface signaling links is 2:1, that
is, two RSLs or OMLs share 64 kbit/s bandwidth.
For satellite transmission, the Abis interface uses 16 kbit/s LAPDs, and one
RSL or OML occupies 16 kbit/s bandwidth.
SiteNoTDME1, TRXNoTDME1 and AbisLAPDMultiRate are input

There are two types of signaling links in the SS7 network: 64 kbit/s signaling link and
2 Mbit/s signaling link. The 2 Mbit/s signaling link consists of the standard 2048 kbit/s
link and the N x 64 kbit/s (1 < N < 32) link.
To meet the signaling requirements for large traffic volume, two signaling
transmission schemes can be used in the BSC6900.
Multiple local signaling points: The BSC6000 supports up to 4 local signaling
points, enabling 64 signaling links over the A interface.
2 Mbit/s signaling link: The maximum bandwidth of each high-speed signaling
link can be 1984 kbit/s

Bandwidth of a single CS call

CSVAD: ratio of wanted frames to the total frames. The activation factor
relates to such factors as coding/decoding algorithm, environment, VAD, noise
reduction algorithm (terminal, TC), and specific session scenario
(environmental noise). The value of the activation factor ranges from 0.5 to 1.
The default value is 0.5.
8: Each byte has eight bits.
50: one speech frame per 20 ms on the Um interface. Thus, 50 speech frames
are transmitted each second.
1024: 1024 bits equal 1K bits.
Average Abis interface bandwidth on each TCH
The result can be obtained by multiplying the data in the corresponding two
columns, and then calculating the sum of all the values.
When the ratio of AMR of each voice version is inaccessible, if the simplified
configuration is used, only the ratio of FR channels and HR channels can be
used for calculation.

On the A interface, the signaling plane uses the M3UA/SCTP/IP protocol stack to
carry signaling, and the user plane uses the RTP/UDP/IP protocol stack to carry
speech signals

Size of a single IP speech framebit

TRAU frame: indicates the voice payload consisting of voice and Cbit. The
value varies with coding schemes.
A IP over FEGE frame header = 8 x (12 + 8 + 20 + 38), which includes the
length of RTP, UDP, IP, or MAC frame header.
Bandwidth occupied by a callkbps
50: 50 voice frames per second. 1024: 1,024 bits, equal to 1 Kbits.
CSVAD indicates the voice activation factor, which is an advanced input
parameter.

The value of MaxACICPerBSC is obtained through the calculation of the
overall capacity of the BSC.

Note:
In A IP over FEGE mode, the SS7 link resources occupied by the equivalent
CICs of each A interface in busy hour are supposed to be 0.9 kbit/s.
The value of MaxACICPerBSC is obtained through the calculation of the
overall capacity of the BSC.

In Gb over IP, the physical layer uses the FE/GE transmission , the sub NS layer of
the NS protocol complies with the IP protocol, and the upper layer of the NS protocol
complies with the BSSGP protocol

Note:
GbUtiRatio indicates the average ratio of the valid data to the total bandwidth
in Gb over IP mode. The value is 0.7 by default, which can be adjusted and
construed as GbUtiRatio = PayloadLenGb/(PayloadLenGb + 124)
The value of GbTputPerBSC is obtained through the calculation of the overall
capacity of the BSC.
1% indicates the average retransmission ratio of Gb interface packets.
PayloadLenGb is an advanced parameter.
124 indicates the length of a packet header when the Gb interface works in the
IP transmission mode.
GbIPUsage is an advanced parameter, Can be 0 to 1, and Huaweis default
value is 1, if Operator want more resource , Opeartor can caculated by this
formula.

The function items can be controlled by configuration or by host according to the

verification and control methods of the system.
Controlled by configuration: During system configuration in online or offline
mode, the system compares the effective configuration data with the data
authorized by the License. If the data is not authorized by the License, or the
configuration data exceeds the data volume authorized by License, or the data
does not match the License, the system displays an error message, and the
configuration data cannot take effect. The operator must modify the
configuration data so that the configuration data takes effect until the data
matches the data authorized by License.
Controlled by host: During the actual running of the system, the quantity of
some resources in the system is calculated dynamically in real time, the
function enabling condition is controlled, and the quantity and enabling
condition are compared with those authorized by the License. If the quantity
and function enabling condition exceed the authorized range of the License,
the system disables the function for the resources that exceed the authorized
range of the License.
