Required Layer 3 Routing Protocols (IPv4):
Network protocols: TCP/IP stack, ARP, DHCP relay
IP Routing: OSPF v2
Redundancy: VRRP v2.
BSS Architecture
IPoEth BSS Architecture
In this configuration, there is IPoEth on Abis and Ater.

9130 BSC, TC, 9130 MFS are connected through the IP network of the operator.
The CS user plane is passed directly to the TC over IP, while the CS control plane is
directed towards the BSC.
This is show in the following figure.
Figure 1-1 Full IPoEth BSS
IPoE1 BSS Architecture
In this configuration, there is IPoE1 on Abis and IPoEth on Ater.

It is an intermediate step towards a full IPoEth network solution: 9130 BSC, TC, 9130
MFS and 9153 OMC-R are connected through the IP network of the operator.
However, BTS are still connected through E1 links.
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Alcatel-Lucent BSS

Introduction
BSS Architecture
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
This mode preserves the existing E1 links on the Abis interface and introduces IP
transport using the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) or the Multi Link Point-to-Point
Protocol (ML-PPP) in the case of more than one E1 link.
Those protocols are used to encapsulate the IP traffic within HDLC frames, which are
then sent over the E1 links. In this mode, all traffic is routed towards the BSC.
The following figure shows the BSS with IPoE1 on Abis (and IP backbone on Ater).
( 1): Due to the mixed mode, some E1 links in Atermux are kept until all BTS have
switched to IP mode. This must be taken into account in order to ensure IP to TDM come
back mechanisms inside the TC (in the case of failure of one TC board).
( 2): This link allows to transmit some part (or the totality) of the Gb traffic through a set
of TS of the A interface E1 links. This traffic is cross connected through the MFS, the TC
and the MSC towards the SGSN (note that the MSC-SGSN link is not the Gs interface). It
is called the "Gb insertion" mode and is only possible if CS and PS traffic share the same
Ater-mux E1 link. This mode is not supported in IP transport mode (this would be needed
only for the few BTSs which remain in TDM mode in mixed mode, we assume that the
operator will switch to IP the major part of its BTSs; moreover, the GboIP feature is
available). In this particular case, going to IP mode will require the operator to add a new
E1 link on Gb.
Mixed Mode BSS Architecture
This mode allows the BSS to handle at the same time some BTS in TDM mode (for B10)
and others in IP mode (IPoE1 or IPoEth).

Introduction
BSS Architecture
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
This mode allows the BSS to handle at the same time some BTS in TDM mode (for B10)
and others in IP mode (IPoEth).
It provides the operator with a "step by step" introduction of IP in the network.
Layer 2 BSS Architecture
Using a Layer 2 transport network means that, despite the fact that the BSS NEs (BTS,
BSC, TC, MFS) will still exchange IP packets, the underlying functional architecture of
the transport network can be seen as a single LAN (in practice, an Ethernet LAN). Taking
into account the potential distance between network elements, this will be based on
"Extended Area LAN" concepts such as the MetroEthernet. The primary impact on the
IP-based transport is that all IP addresses of the NEs belong to the same IP subnet.
It has at least one IP router in the BSS transmission network. If needed, this IP router can
be added (anywhere) on top of an Ethernet network, s shown in the example highlighted
in the figure below.
Ethernet switches 1, 2, 3, 4 are access points to the operator's network.

The core Ethernet switch represents the interconnections inside the operator's network.
VLAN tags 1, 2, 3 represent traffic from / to Ethernet LANs 1, 2, 3. They can be
configured on the Ethernet switches 1, 2, 3, 4, the core network nodes, and the router.
Since there are three different VLANs, there are also three different IP subnets, and the
Router must be assigned one IP address in each of these subnets.

Introduction
BSS Architecture
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
A fourth subnet can be defined for the central office, with IP addresses for TC, MFS,
BSC, and the IP router (with VLAN 4). VLAN 1 and two are only needed if the operator
wants to (or must) manage different subnets for BTS in LANs 1 and 2 (i.e. a specific IP
address space for the BTSs in each LAN).
If the same subnet is used for all these BTSs, the same VLAN tag can be used for LAN 1
and 2. VLAN 3 is only needed if BSC is not in this subnet, as well as VLAN 4 for the
Central Office controllers.
No route needs to be configured on the IP router, since only its local interfaces are
involved in the used routes
Layer 3 BSS Architecture
The Layer 3 Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850/6850E is used as an example for

configuring the BSS layer 3 architecture.
For more information about OmniSwitch 6850/6850E, refer to Alcatel-Lucent Base
Station Subsystem - BSS O&M Routing Configurations (3MN-01075-1871-PGZZA).
Controllers in Different Networks
MFS, BTS, TC are in different sub networks. In this case, each machine defines its proper
subnet, as shown in the following figure.

All Controllers in Same Network
MFS, BTS, TC are in the same subnetwork, as shown in the figure below.
Common subnet allows the operator to:
Simplify the IP management (only one subnet to manage)
Save IP ports on the routers (L3 ports on routers are more expensive than L2 ports).

The MFS IMT, BTS NEM, BSC NEM,TC NEM dialogue with corresponding NE in the
O&M communication plan. NEM remotely connected to an NE are usually located in an
O&M site. To have a NEM connected from a telecom site, the O&M addresses must be
routable up to this site.
MSC and SGSN are not BSS NE but core network NEs with interfaces with the BSS.

Overview
The operator must be able to group the IP addresses according to his own organization.
The operator must be able to use more than one 9130 BSC / MFS Evolution on a single
subnet. This requirement aims at reducing the number of subnets handled by the external
routers, which allows using lower cost routers. This requirement is especially interesting
when several 9130 BSC Evolution are co-localized or when the 9130 BSC Evolution is
co-localized with the 9130 MFS Evolution.
The operator must be able to separate the O&M IP addresses from the Telecom IP
addresses in two different subnets.
The first and the last IP addresses in a subnet are reserved, respectively to identify the
subnet addresses and the broadcast address. They must be removed from the list of IP
addresses that can be assigned to the hosts. For instance, let assume that Subnet_IP_Addr
= 150.100.12.128 and Subnet_Mask = 255.255.255.128. Then, the hosts can be only
assigned in the range 150.100.12.129 to 150.100.12.254.
External router is part of the customer network and it is up to the customer to configure it
with IP addresses.

Reachability Test
Overview
The BSC performs a reachability test on:
O&M address (REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_O&M)

Several telecom addresses (REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_BSS,
REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_ASIG, REACHABILITY_TEST2_ADDR_ASIG,
REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_AUP)
In order to have an efficient test, the reachability address shall be the first address
encountered out of the BSC for the O&M, Asig over IP or BSS over IP flows.
The test is performed by the active OMCP on both active and standby switch sides for the
O&M and telecom reachability test addresses.
Both O&M and telecom use the same switch plane.
If the telecom over IP feature is activated arm a telecom related timer, or arm an O&M
related timer if the feature is not activated.
When telecom timer elapses:
Case 1 : Telecom addresses are different from O&M address:
Test telecom address and O&M addresses on both active/standby sides:
Case: 'failure of at least a telecom active side' then swap to the other switch side if
working and send an alarm
Case: 'failure of at least a telecom standby side' then send an alarm.
Case: 'failure of O&M active side' then swap to the other switch side if standby side is
ok for telecom and send an alarm
Case: 'failure of O&M standby side' then send an alarm
Case 2 : O&M address is identical to at least one telecom address:

Each host in the MFS (control stations and GPUs) must get routing information: gateway
addresses (there can be one gateway per subnet used) and associated subnet. The control
stations have to distribute the information to each GPU (active and spare).
The MFS routing table is configured from the IMT.
To change 9130 MFS IP address plan, refer to Change IP Address Plan, to 9130 MFS
Evolution IP addressing plan change.
Reachability Test
Overview
In order to have an efficient test, the reachability address should be the first address
encountered out of the MFS for the O&M, Gb, IPGSL or IPGCH flow. The farther the
address, the higher the risk to uselessly change the Ethernet plan (higher probability for
failure beyond the edge switch/router, making the change of Ethernet plane inefficient).
To test the reachability for the different physical links, set the following parameters
according to the Reachability Test Rules (p. 3-18) :
REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_O&M (MFS), to be used by the active control

stations board for testing the access to the external network for O&M needs; please
refer to O&M Reachability Test (p. 3-12)
REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_TEL_GB (MFS), REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_TEL_GSL (MFS), REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_TEL_IPGCH (MFS), to be

used by the active control station for testing the access to the external network for
telecom needs; please refer to Telecom Reachability Test by Control Station
(p. 3-14)
REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_TEL_GB_GPU (MFS), REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_TEL_GSL_GPU (MFS), REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_TEL_IPGCH_GPU (MFS), to be used by every active GPU for defense of telecom traffic to the
external network for telecom needs; please refer to Telecom Reachability Test by the
GPU (p. 3-16)
REACHABILITY_ PERIODICITY (optional).
In the following sections the reachability IP addresses are described in two ways:
from a L2 network perspective, where the device for which the reachability is tested is
in the same network with the target
from a L3 network perspective, where the device for which the reachability is tested is
not in the same network with the target

How to Test the Access to the External Network for O&M Needs
The test purpose is to manage the Ethernet plan by switching the active / standby plans in
the case of active plan failure.
Both active and standby sides are supervised and associated alarms sent. The standby plan
is supervised to allow standby plan repair before a possible failure of the active plan. The
alarm indicates the concerned control station board and switch plane. An active switch
side failure is detected via the arp cache expiration (one minute, by default). If both
switch sides are down for the active control station, a switchover is not performed since
the associated alarm would not be correctly managed.
Recommended rules:
In order to have an efficient test, the reachability address can be the first address
encountered out of the MFS for the O&M flow
In the case of L3 network, the edge router can have an address in the O&M subnet
It is not necessary to configure more than one reachability test address (tested by
Control Station) per physical link between the MFS and the edge switch / router.

How to Test the Access to the External Network for Telecom Needs
The test of the telecom reachability address used by the control station is done for
supervision requirements. Both active and standby sides are supervised and associated
alarms are . The alarm indicates the concerned control station board and switch plane. A
failure on telecom address does not lead to the control station swap to the other switch
side.
The control station has an IP address in every telecom subnet.
Recommended rules:
encountered out of the MFS for the telecom flow
In the case of L3 network, the edge router can have an address in every telecom
subnet
It is not necessary to configure more than one reachability test address (tested by
Control Station) per physical link between the MFS and the edge switch / router.
Attention: REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_TEL_GB (MFS) cannot be configured

How to Test the Defense of Telecom Traffic to the External Network for Telecom Needs by the
GPU
The test of the telecom reachability address used by the GPU is done for traffic defence
purpose on its active side. The GPU is able to swap to the standby side if needed. If both
sides are down, the GPU alarms.
Each GPU is independent in terms of switching side decision.
Recommended rules:
encountered out of the MFS for the telecom flow
In the case of L3 network, the edge router can have an address in every telecom
subnet
Attention: REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_TEL_GB_GPU (MFS) cannot be
configured when GPU_Gb_Base_IP is not configured
REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_TEL_GSL_GPU (MFS) cannot be configured when
IPGSL_Base_Address_MFS is not configured
REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_TEL_IPGCH_GPU (MFS) cannot be configured when

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Reachability Test
Overview
The TCIF performs a reachability test:
An ICMP ping request of a O&M address:REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDR_O&M

The default period for O&M is 30 seconds.
An ARP request of a telecom address ( if the telecom feature is activated):REACHABILITY_TEST_ADDRESS_TEL
The default period for telecom is 500 milliseconds.
The active TCIF knows the status of the TCIF1-O&M, TCIF1-TEL, TCIF2-O&M,
TCIF2-TEL, and its decision is to privilege the telecom flow. If no telecom flow is
available, the O&M flows is defended. Also, the standby TCIF performs reachability test
in order to report the link status to the active TCIF.
The following example explains the system behavior.
TCIF1 is active and TCIF1-O&M, TCIF1-TEL, TCIF2-O&M, TCIF2-TEL links are OK:
If the active O&M link fails, a TCIF takeover is triggered and the TCIF2 becomes
active: TCIF1-TEL, TCIF2-O&M, TCIF2-TEL links OK and TCIF1-O&M link NOK
If the telecom flow of TCIF2 fails, a TCIF takeover is triggered and the TCIF1
becomes active: TCIF1-TEL, TCIF2-O&M links OK and TCIF1-O&M, TCIF2-TEL
links NOK
If the telecom flow of the TCIF1 fails, a TCIF takeover is triggered and the TCIF2
becomes active: TCIF2-O&M link OK and TCIF1-TEL, TCIF1 O&M, TCIF2-TEL.

Start_IPoE1IP-Address
Starting IP addresses of the

BTS.
First IP address of the subnet E
The subnet E is the external and visible subnet from the IP Telecom network.
The subnet E is defined by its first address Start-IPoE1-IP-Address and the size of this
subnet is given by the IPoE1-IP-Subnet-mask.
The external IP addresses of the BTS are part of the subnet E. Each BTS is assigned n
external IP addresses, where n is the size of the E subnet. The IP address of each BTS is
then computed as follows:
BTS-IP-Address = Start-IPoE1-Address + E1_Link_ID * IPoE1-IP-Subnet-mask
Where E1_Link_ID is the E1 link identifier of the E subnet (between 0 and 251)
To reach the BTS boards of this BSC in the E subnet, the following BTS IP addresses
based on the configuration parameters are set by the OMC at BTS IPoE1 creation and
cannot be modified by the operator. Then the OMC configures the DHCP server
(necessarily local to the OMC for this type of BTS) with the BTS_IP_identifier and the
BTS_IP_Address. Finally, the BTS gets its IP address from DHCP request.

9130 BSC Evolution / BTS SNMP Interface
A fixed SNMP account and password is used.

The account is "BSC_user". For security reasons, the password cannot be given in this
document.
BTS IPsec Interface
The IPsec protocols suite allows building secured tunnels between two entities.
Only ESP Tunnel Mode is supported by the BTS.
On BTS sites, the tunnel termination is embedded in the BTS SUMX board. This board
supports tunnelling to one IPsec gateway only.
The BTS uses a SPD database for static rules definition and an SAD database for
dynamic tunnels management. The BTS operator has to configure the SPD database,
knowing a default configuration is offered by the BTS.
IPSec relies on a first bidirectional tunnel for user authentication and data tunnels control
and two unidirectinal tunnels then established for data exchange.
Strong security negotiation is performed for the bidirectional tunnel by the use of the IKE
asymmetric protocol. Then data are secured in dedicated tunnels by the use of symmetric
key algorithms such as 3DES or AES.
The IPsec authentication of the BTS is performed through IKE/EAP protocol. With IKE
v2, it is possible to use - a standardized way - X.509 certificates stored in a RADIUS
server.
Only IPsec gateways using IKE v2 are supported by the BTS.
The use of certificates is the way to tackle the 'man in the middle' security threat (since a
certificate established by a security authority is needed by the man in the middle).
The IPsec is optional for the operator, depending if the IP network is trusted or not. Hence
an IPsec activation flag is available on the BTS NEM. An IPsec tunnel can only be
activated from the BTS NEM, not from the OMC.

BTS NEM users

Overview
There are two possible solutions to provide central management of BTS NEM users:
The use of a Radius server

The use of the OMC for BTS NEM user distribution to the BTS.
Hence it is mandatory that the OMC has to provide a central user management facility
allowing to create through SNMP v3 - BTS NEM users in the BTS. These BTS NEM
users created from the OMC are called pushed users.
This BTS NEM users central management on the OMC impacts the OMC LDAP:
A new attribute for SNMP group is needed

Easier LDAP configuration (web page) is to be provided.
Procedure
When a Radius server is used, the BTS NEM user is authenticated the following way:
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
User enters user name and password, which are different from the default ones.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
User name and password are sent to the BTS.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................
The BTS (RADIUS NAS client - function) sends an Access Request with User name
and password to the RADIUS server.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
On reception of the Access Request, the RADIUS server authenticates the user and sent
an Access Accept message to the RADIUS NAS (BTS). The RADIUS server provides
binding between a UserName and a GroupName. The GroupName information is
contained in the filter-ID field of the Access Accept message. The RADIUS server can get
this information from a LDAP server (RADIUS configuration).
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
After successful authentication, User Name, user password and Filter-id are transmitted to
the SNNMP Agent in the BTS in order to create a dynamic USM user.

BTS Certificates
An X.509 certificate identifies an entity (holds its public key & attributes) is signed by an
authority (with private key), the Certification Authority (CA).
BTS X.509 certificates are used for BTS authentication in the scope of IPsec, EAP-TLS
(within 802.1x for BTS authentication toward a switch) and TLS (for BTS NEM access).
For the BTS certificates signed by the ALU certification authority, a certificate hierarchy
is defined:
An ALU corporate level certificate

An ALU factory level certificate
A BTS level certificate.
The SUM boards are issued from factory with BTS level certificates. On the operator
side, it is possible to configure the different Radius servers used by IPsec gateways or
802.1x authenticators with ALU corporate level certificate only. Such a high level
certificate is enough for validating every BTS certificate instances, thanks to the
certificate's hierarchy (the leaf certificate embeds parent related information, in particular,
their public key used to validate the certificate signature).
In parallel from the ALU certificates (and uppermost), the operator is able to use his own
certificate for the BTS.
TheBTS Certificates can be introduced in the BTS either:
From the factory (for ALU BTS certificate in SUMx case)

From a BTS NEM (for instance in the case of customer certificate at BTS
commissioning time)
From an OMC (for instance for factorization in the case of certificate renewal.
When a BTS certificate is introduced from a BTS NEM or an OMC, several steps are to
be followed (method based on openSSL scenario that relies on corresponding SNMP
attributes):
The BTS comes with a public/private key couple

The NEM/OMC requests a certificate
The BTS returns it unsigned (but with the public key filled)
The unsigned certificate is exported to be off-line signed by the CA

The signed certificate is imported back in the NEM/OMC

The NEM/OMC sends it back to the BTS.
802.1x Port Based Access Control
This IEEE standard, coupled with the EAP protocol, allows Ethernet port protection. The
EAP protocol offers itself several variants. The BTS supports some of them (see more
details at the section end).
802.1x used on a switch provides LAN protection. This standard is very useful in the
context of the BTS access sites that can be easily accessible to unknown users (if not the
BTS itself, probably the LAN access).
We use 802.1x for different protection schemes:
BTS authentication toward the LAN switch
BTS NEM authentication toward the LAN switch (case where the NEM PC is
physically connected to the switch)
BTS NEM authentication toward the BTS (case where the NEM PC is physically
connected to the BTS).
Hence the BTS has to support both the server (toward PC NEM) and client (toward the
LAN switch) 802.1x roles. In 802.1x terminology, the 'server' is called the 'authenticator'
and the client is called the 'supplicant'. The PC NEM only supports the supplicant role.
When authenticator, the BTS uses EAP/PEAP as authentication protocol.
When supplicant, the BTS only supports EAP-TLS as authentication protocol. The
EAP-TLS protocol relies on the use of certificates, which is the means to be used when
the supplicant is a host.
The Radius database for the user holds the user login + password. The Radius database
for the NEM PC holds the PC name + password. The Radius database for the BTS holds
the BTS (or factory) certificate or the BTS name + password if the customer chooses to
not use certificates.

Overview
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is a network protocol used to detect faults

between two endpoints over a particular link. It is a simple 'hello' protocol that in many
respects is similar to the detection components of well-known routing protocols. A pair of
systems transmit BFD packets periodically over each path between the two systems and if
a system stops receiving BFD packets for long enough, some component in that particular
bidirectional path to the neighboring system is assumed to have failed. In this situation,
the BFD can be used as trigger of path switchover between a primary and a secondary
route.
In an IP BSS network architecture, IP Abis traffic is often aggregated from BTS sites in
several points of concentration (POCs) of an access network, before reaching a central IP
gateway, which is the starting point of a secured IP backbone towards TC, BSC, and
MFS. The network access can be a layer 2 or a layer 3 access network. In most of the
cases, it is not owned by the mobile operator, and Abis is backhauled through leased lines
services.
The BFD IP address is used by the "next hop" router which implement the BFD protocol
The address is configured via the BTS terminal and is retrieved by the OMC via through
SNMP
A route is only declared to be operational when two-way communication has been
established between BTS and central IP gateway.

Overview
If DHCP server located in the OMC-R, the OMC-R configures the DHCP server with the
BTS_IP_identifier and the BTS_IP_address. Then the BTS gets its IP address from the
DHCP request.
The BTS-Routing-SubGroup (and Second-BTS-ROuting-SubGroup) contain the
following parameters:
subnet address
subnet mask
gateway address (optional)
broadcast address (optional)
This group of parameters is valid only in IP over Ethernet transport mode. It is used by
OMC-R to configure the local DHCP server.
The subnet address and the subnet mask define the subnet in which the BTS is connected.

Alcatel-Lucent BSS

DHCP Server
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The gateway address defines the IP address of the gateway to be used by the BTS to route
the IP traffic.
The broadcast address defines the broadcast IP address to be used in the BTS subnet. This
address is not used by the BTS.
This group of parameters is changeable at OMC-R. The local DHCP server is configured
immediately without any telecom traffic impact. The BTS is informed about the change
after the BTS reset. If the gateway address is changed, the new gateway must be
operational before the BTS reset.
When the DHCP Server is located on the OMC-R, the usage of a DNS server is not
necessary. Therefore, the only way to map IP addresses on DHCP server is static.
The value of the DHCP-location parameter is 0, that specifies for an IP BTS that the
DHCP server is located in the OMC-R.
If the DHCP server becomes not available, the BTS uses the last assigned IP address. This
is also applicable for the case when the DHCP Server Located External to 9153
OMC-R (p. 7-2)
DHCP Server Located External to 9153 OMC-R

Overview
In the case of usage of a DNS, the OMC-R configures the DHCP server with the
BTS_hostname and the BTS_IP_identifier. Then the BTS gets its IP address from DNS
request. No BTS IP address is configured in the OMC-R.
The external DHCP server is configured manually. The BTS is informed about the change
after the reset of the BTS.
The usage of a DNS server is available only with an external DCHP server.
The BTS-Hostname parameter is used only if the DNS server is known by the OMC-R. It
is used by the OMC-R to get BTS IP address. Therfore, the BTS-Hostname parameter
must be unique per DNS server.
If the BTS IP address is changed, the traffic towards the BTS is stopped until the BTS
gets its new IP address from the DHCP server.
The value of the DHCP-location parameter is 1, that specifies for an IP BTS that the
DHCP server is located external to the OMC-R.
If the DHCP server becomes not available, the BTS uses the last assigned IP address.

DHCP Server
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
The operator configures directly the BTS_IP_address as well as the BTS IP Identifier.
Then the BTS gets its IP address from the OMC-R.
The value of the DHCP-location parameter is 1, which specifies that for an IP BTS there
is no DHCP server.
DHCP Relay
Overview
If the BTS network is other than the DHCP server's network, then the DHCP relay must
be configured on the router that connects directly to the BTS network.
The DHCP relay feature relays a request from a remote client to a DHCP server for an IP
address. When the router receives a DHCP request from an IP client, it forwards the
request to the DHCP server and passes the response back to the IP client.
In order to configure DHCP relay, refer to the following documents:
Configure OS6850 for GB/BSS Traffic (3BK 17430 3295 RJZZA)

Introduction
Overview
From Release B11, Alcatel-Lucent provides an alternative solution to TDM transport, the
Synchronous Transport Mode level 1(STM1) in the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
(SDH) network.
STM1 permits the transportation of larger amounts of telephone calls and data traffic over
the same fiber wire without synchronization problems, using lasers or light-emitting
diodes (LED).

Introduction
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Figure 8-1 SDH Ring Configuration
The basic unit of framing in SDH is the Synchronous Transport Module level 1 (STM1),
which operates at 155.52 Mbit/s, and which is used in GSM for transporting E1 links.
The STM1 is supported on 9130 BSC Evolution equipped with TPGSM3 boards and on
9125 TC equipped with TCIF boards.
Each E1 link is transported transparently (using asynchronous mapping) in one VC12
container. One STM1 link can contain up to 63 VC12 containers. Therefore, one STM1
can carry 63 E1 links ( Abis / Ater Mux / A), and each E1 of 2048 kbit/s is transported
separately in one VC12 container. With four STM1 interfaces per Network Element (BSC
/ TC), the maximum configuration can be achieved and 252 E1 links can be transported
separately in 252 VC12 containers.
Each STM1 link coming from BSC/TC is connected to an ADM (Add Drop Multiplexer)
and where this ADM equipment is located depends of the operator SDH network.

Introduction
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
ADM is a device installed at an intermediate point on a transmission line that enables new
signals to come in and existing signals to go out. In a typical example, most signals pass
through the device, but some would be dropped by splitting them from the line. Signals
originating at that point can be added into the line and directed to another destination.
Add/drop multiplexing can be done with optical or electronic signals. The device may
deal only with wavelengths, or it may convert between wavelengths and electronic TDM
signals. The setup in an add/drop multiplexer is generally static and it is in charge of SDH
network administrator.
Figure 8-2 ADM Functional Description
There are multiple manufacturers of ADM, but Alcatel-Lucent recommends the following
(depending of the complexity of the SDH network ):
Alcatel 1642 Edge Multiplexer

Compact, flexible, data-oriented, future-proof, the Alcatel 1642 Edge Multiplexer is
based on 2 x STM-1 line interfaces, 6 x 6 full non-blocking Low-Order SDH matrix,
clock reference and equipment control functions, all concentrated in a 1 slot wide
