2 Overview
Overview
2.1 Introduction
The optional feature GBFD-117803 Abis Transmission Backup provides end-to-end (E2E)
backup of transmission links over the Abis interface. This improves reliability of transmission
over the Abis interface and reduces service interruption due to transmission faults over the Abis
interface. This improves the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network
reliability.
Abis Transmission Backup provides the following backup modes:
l
Satellite transmission backup

In Abis over time division multiplexing (TDM) mode, if the TDM terrestrial transmission
is interrupted, the GSM base station subsystem (GBSS) automatically switches over
services carried on the TDM terrestrial transmission link to the satellite transmission link.
This ensures normal network operation.
Satellite transmission backup consists of the following solutions:
Ring topology: This solution is supported by GBSS8.1 and later versions. It is
recommended for GBSS8.1.
Dual-logical BTS: This solution is supported by GBSS9.0 and later versions. It is
recommended for GBSS9.0 and later versions.
Abis transmission backup enhancement (E1 backup)

In Abis over IP mode, two E2E transmission links are configured over the Abis interface:
an IP over FE/GE link and an IP over E1/T1 link. The two links work in primary/backup
mode, ensuring transmission reliability over the Abis interface.

3 Satellite Transmission Backup
Satellite Transmission Backup
In Abis over TDM mode, if the GSM network suffers a natural disaster, the TDM terrestrial
transmission may be interrupted. When this occurs, the GBSS automatically switches over
services carried on the TDM terrestrial transmission link to the satellite transmission link. This
ensures normal network operation.

GSM BSS
3.1 Network Topologies

3.1.1 Ring Topology
The ring topology solution is based on the link backup in the TDM ring topology. Different from
the clockwise and counter-clockwise links in a common ring topology, the clockwise and
counter-clockwise links use different transmission modes. Specifically, the clockwise link uses
TDM terrestrial transmission, while the counter-clockwise link uses satellite transmission. For
details about the ring topology, see BTS Ring Topology Feature Parameter Description. Figure
3-1 shows the link backup in the TDM ring topology.
Figure 3-1 TDM ring topology
The network topology is implemented as follows:

l
The base transceiver station (BTS) and the base station controller (BSC) are connected in
the star topology.
The BSC and port 0 of the BTS are connected using TDM terrestrial transmission. This
forms the clockwise connection in ring.
The BSC and port 1 of the BTS are connected using satellite transmission. This forms the
counter-clockwise connection in ring.
Satellite transmission backup is enabled by setting the TransMode(BSC6900,BSC6910)

parameter to TER_AND_SAT_TRANS(Terrestrial and Satellite) and the
ISCONFIGEDRING(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to YES(Yes) on the LMT. The
ISCONFIGEDRING(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter specifies whether to support the ring
topology.
3.1.2 Dual-Logical BTS

The dual-logical BTS solution provides two logical BTSs for a physical BTS. One logical BTS
uses satellite transmission, and the other uses TDM terrestrial transmission. The two logical
BTSs can be configured either under one BSC or under two respective BSCs.
To configure a logical BTS to using satellite transmission, set the TransMode
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to SAT_TRANS(Satellite Transmission). To configure a
logical BTS using TDM terrestrial transmission, set the TransMode(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter to TER_TRANS(Terrestrial Transmission).

GSM BSS
The two logical BTSs do not work at the same time. As long as one BTS functions properly, the
other BTS does not work. Therefore, one of the logical BTSs always experiences transmission
interruption and generates an alarm accordingly. If the TDM terrestrial transmission link
functions properly, ignore the alarm generated by the satellite transmission link. However, if the
TDM terrestrial transmission link becomes faulty and services are switched over to the satellite
transmission link, clear the alarm generated by the TDM terrestrial transmission link.
The name of a logical BTS must comply with the following rules:
l
Indicates the transmission mode used by the BTS (satellite or TDM terrestrial).
Indicates the physical BTS for which it is configured.
For example, if two logical BTSs are configured for BTS A (the physical BTS name), you can
name them
BTS A (terrestrial) and BTS A (satellite)
3.2 Switchover
3.2.1 Ring Topology
Under normal circumstances, the BSC and BTS use TDM terrestrial transmission instead of
satellite transmission to transmit data.
If the TDM terrestrial transmission link is faulty, the logical links, such as the operation and
maintenance link (OML) and radio signaling link (RSL) carried on the TDM terrestrial
transmission link, are disconnected. After the OML protection timer expires, the BTS resets
upon detecting that the OML remains disconnected. After the reset, the BTS sends an OML
establishment request message to the BSC using satellite transmission. Upon receiving the
message, the BSC sends a response message to the BTS and re-establishes the OML. After the
OML recovers, the BSC re-establishes the RSL in a similar manner. When the OML and the
RSL are re-established, the switchover is complete. After the TDM terrestrial transmission link
recovers, a manual link switchback can be performed.
3.2.2 Dual-Logical BTS

If the TDM terrestrial transmission link is faulty, the BTS resets upon detecting that the link
remains disconnected after the BTS restart times out. After the reset, the BTS uses satellite
transmission to send an OML establishment request message to the BSC. Upon receiving the
message, the BSC sends a response message to the BTS and re-establishes the OML. After the
OML recovers, the BSC re-establishes the RSL in a similar manner. When the OML and the
RSL are re-established, the switchover is complete.
You can specify the BTS restart time by setting the RESETTIME(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter (only for BTSs using TDM terrestrial transmission). This parameter indicates the
waiting time between the BTS detects an OML fault and restarts. To ensure that the switchover
can be completed within 10 minutes after the BTS detects a fault in the TDM terrestrial
transmission link, you are advised to set this parameter to 1.
A physical BTS must be configured with two ports: one for the TDM terrestrial transmission
link, and the other for the satellite transmission link. Therefore, set the PRIVATEPROBENUM
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to 2. You can specify the sequence for detecting ports by setting

GSM BSS
the parameters PROBESEQ(BSC6900,BSC6910), PRIVATEPROBEFST

(BSC6900,BSC6910), and PRIVATEPROBESND(BSC6900,BSC6910).
After the terrestrial transmission link recovers, manually deactivate the logical satellite BTS to
reset it. The BTS then preferentially detects whether the terrestrial transmission link is usable.
If the terrestrial transmission link is usable, the BTS sets up communications over that link.

GSM BSS
4 Abis Transmission Backup Enhancement (GBTS)
Abis Transmission Backup Enhancement

(GBTS)
Abis transmission backup enhancement (E1 backup) is an enhancement of the Abis Transmission
Backup feature. Specifically, two E2E transmission links are configured over the Abis interface:
an IP over FE/GE link and an IP over E1/T1 link. The two links work in primary/backup mode.
This improves reliability of transmission over the Abis interface and reduces service interruption
due to transmission faults over the Abis interface, improving the GSM network reliability. If the
primary link becomes faulty, the BTS automatically switches over services on the primary link
to the backup link. During the switchover, the ongoing services on the Abis interface are
interrupted for less than 1 minute. After the switchover, new services are processed by the backup
link. If the primary link recovers, the BTS switches over services on the backup link back to the
primary link. During the switchover, the ongoing services on the Abis interface are interrupted.
After the switchover, new services are processed by the primary link.
Abis transmission backup enhancement is enabled by setting the IPPHYTRANSTYPE
parameter to IP_OVER_FE/GE_AND_E1 and the AbisLnkBKFLAG parameter to ON(ON)
on the LMT.

GSM BSS
4.1 Network Topologies

Abis transmission backup enhancement provides two E2E transmission links (an IP over FE/
GE link and an IP over E1/T1 link) to implement link backup between the BTS and BSC. The
two links are configured in primary/backup mode by setting the PATHFLAG parameter. All
services carried by the Abis interface are processed by the primary link. Figure 4-1 shows the
network topology for Abis transmission backup enhancement.
Figure 4-1 Network topology for Abis transmission backup enhancement
Figure 4-2 shows the network topology in which Abis transmission backup enhancement is not
supported.
Figure 4-2 Network topology in which Abis transmission backup enhancement is not supported
As shown in Figure 4-2, an IP over E1/T1 link from the IP over E1/T1 port on the BTS is
converted to an IP over FE/GE link by the router deployed in the IP bearer network. The IP over
FE/GE link is then connected to the IP over FE/GE interface board on the BSC.
In BTS cascading scenarios, if an IP over E1/T1 link is converted to an IP over FE/GE link on
the hub BTS, Abis transmission backup enhancement cannot be enabled for leaf BTSs.

The GTMUb board cannot be configured with IPsec tunnels. Therefore, a secure network topology for
Abis transmission backup enhancement is implemented based on co-transmission provided by the MBTS.
For Abis transmission backup enhancement, the GSM control plane (CP), user plane (UP), and management
plane (MP) must use the same service IP address.
For Abis transmission backup enhancement, it is recommended that the service IP address for the BTS be
carried by a logical IP address.

GSM BSS
4.1.2 Hardware Configuration on the BSC Side

Both IP over E1/T1 and IP over FE/GE interface boards are configured for the BSC.
4.2 Switchover
Abis transmission backup enhancement provides a primary and a backup transmission link. The
two links can be set to the working or non-working state based on their operating status.
The BSC and BTS check whether the link in the working state is functioning properly based on
the link access procedure on the D channel (LAPD) link status. To check whether the link in the
non-working state is functioning properly, the BTS sends a UDP ping detection packet to the
BSC, and the BSC loops the packet back to the BTS.
The interval between sending detection packets is specified by the DETECTTXINT, and the
number of detection packet retransmissions due to timeout is specified by the
DETECTCOUNT parameter.
The procedure for implementing Abis transmission backup enhancement consists of three stages:
working, switchover, and switchback. The following sections assume that the IP over FE/GE
link is specified as the primary link.
4.2.1 Working Stage

1.
The IPPHYTRANSTYPE parameter (specifying the Abis transmission type) is set to

IP_OVER_FE/GE_AND_E1. The data for the primary and backup links is configured
and the primary link is specified.
2.
The BTS starts following the plug-and-play (PnP) process. Specifically, the BTS sends a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) request over the IP over E1/T1 or IP over
FE/GE port to obtain BTS configuration data from the BSC or U2000. Then, the BTS
establishes an OML to the BSC to implement self-startup.
3.
All BTS services are carried on the IP over FE/GE link. Based on the LAPD link status,
the BTS checks whether the link in the working state is functioning properly in real time.
Meanwhile, the BTS checks whether the link in the non-working state is functioning
properly by performing the UDP ping detection. If the link in the working or non-working
state is faulty, the BTS reports ALM-28051 Transmission Link Fault.
4.2.2 Switchover Stage

1.
If the BTS detects that the primary link is faulty, the BTS automatically switches over
services on the primary link to the backup link. During the switchover, the ongoing services
on the Abis interface are interrupted. After the switchover, new services are processed by
the backup link. However, if both the primary and backup links are faulty, the BTS does
not perform a switchover. The WTBS parameter specifies the amount of time the BTS waits
for a switchover.
2.
After the switchover, the IP over E1/T1 link enters the working state, and the BTS checks
whether the link is functioning properly based on the LAPD link status. Meanwhile, the IP
over FE/GE link enters the non-working state, and the BTS performs UDP ping detection
to check whether the link is functioning properly.

12
GSM BSS
4.2.3 Switchback Stage

If the BTS detects that the IP over FE/GE link recovers after a link switchover, it determines
whether to perform a link switchback based on the setting of the REVERTIVETYPE parameter.
l
If the REVERTIVETYPE parameter is set to REVERTIVE(Revertive), the BTS performs

a link switchback. The ongoing services on the Abis interface are interrupted, and new
services are processed by the IP over FE/GE link.
If the REVERTIVETYPE parameter is set to NON_REVERTIVE(Non Revertive), the

BTS does not perform a link switchback and services are still processed by the IP over E1/
T1 link.
4.3 Scenario for Using Both PnP and Abis Transmission

Backup Enhancement
U2000 can function as a DHCP server for a BTS. In this way, both the BSC and U2000 function
as DHCP servers for the BTS. Table 4-2 describes PnP scenarios in combination with the
applications of Abis transmission backup enhancement.
Table 4-2 PnP scenarios
DHCP Server
Solution
BSC (IP over E1/T1)
The BSC IP over E1/T1 interface board

functions as a DHCP server on the IP over E1/
T1 link.
BSC (IP over FE/GE)
The BSC IP over FE/GE interface board

functions as a DHCP server on the IP over FE/
GE link.
BSC (IP over E1/T1)
U2000 (IP over FE/GE)
The BSC IP over E1/T1 interface board

functions as a DHCP server on the IP over E1/
T1 link.
The U2000 functions as a DHCP server on the
IP over FE/GE link. As a DHCP server, the
U2000 only provides BTS self-startup data
for the primary link.
If the BTS sends a DHCP request on the IP over E1/T1 or IP over FE/GE link and receives a
response message from the BSC, the BTS can establish transmission links and obtain its
configuration data.

13
GSM BSS
NOTE
Scenario 1: When Abis transmission backup enhancement is enabled for an MBTS, the GTMUb connects
to a main control board such as the UMPT using backplane or panel interconnection to enable cotransmission over the FE/GE port. The UMPT functions as the DHCP relay for the GTMUb board, and the
DHCP server (the BSC or U2000) is configured on the reverse route to the UMPT.
Scenario 2: When Abis transmission backup enhancement is enabled for an MBTS, the GTMUb connects
to the UTRPc working in non-GSM master mode using backplane or panel interconnection to enable cotransmission over the FE/GE port. The UTRPc functions as the DHCP relay for the GTMUb, and the DHCP
server (the BSC or U2000) is configured on the reverse route to the UTRPc.
Abis transmission backup enhancement can also be enabled during BTS deployment using a USB flash
drive or during operation and maintenance on the LMT.
4.4 Scenario for Changing Transmission Type

Changing the transmission type consists of:
l
Changing Abis IP over E1/T1 to Abis transmission backup enhancement
Changing Abis IP over FE/GE to Abis transmission backup enhancement
To change the transmission type, the value of the IPPHYTRANSTYPE parameter must be
changed from IP_OVER_E1 or IP_OVER_FE/GE to IP_OVER_FE/GE_AND_E1. This
requires a BTS reset.
The required operations are as follows:
1.
Upgrade the BTS and BSC to GBSS14.0.
2.
Plan the configuration data for Abis transmission backup enhancement.
3.
Run MML commands to change the transmission type.
4.5 Scenario for Using Both Abis Transmission Backup

Enhancement and BSC Node Redundancy
Abis transmission backup enhancement can be used with the BSC Node Redundancy feature.
Figure 4-3 shows the network topology for using both Abis transmission backup enhancement
and BSC Node Redundancy.

14
GSM BSS
Figure 4-3 Network topology for using both Abis transmission backup enhancement and BSC
Node Redundancy
The BTS enabled with Abis transmission backup enhancement is controlled by only one BSC
in the BSC node redundancy group. That is, the IP over E1/T1 and IP over FE/GE links for the
BTS connect to the same BSC.
If the primary link becomes faulty, the BTS starts the timer specified by the WTBTBSCS
parameter. If services on the primary link are successfully switched over to the backup link, the
BTS sets the timer to 0. If the BTS fails to establish an OML to the BSC before the timer expires,
the BTS attempts to establish an OML on the primary link to the other BSC in the BSC node
redundancy group.
If an IP over FE/GE link specified as the primary link, a router is required between the IP network
and the two BSCs in the BSC node redundancy group. If an IP over E1/T1 link is specified as
the primary link, the link is divided into two links to connect to the two BSCs in the BSC node
redundancy group in the TDM network.
4.6 Scenario for Using Abis Transmission Backup

Enhancement and Other Features
l
When Abis transmission backup enhancement is enabled, the IP Performance Monitor

feature can be enabled only for the IP over FE/GE link.
The Abis MUX feature can be enabled only for one link. When Abis transmission backup
enhancement is enabled, Abis MUX can be enabled only for the primary link.
The BTS clock works independently. If the clock source, link, or interface is faulty, the
BTS clock works in the hold state for a maximum of 90 days without affecting services.
Abis transmission backup enhancement only supports switchovers of services between the
primary and backup links, without involving the BTS clock. When Abis transmission
backup enhancement is enabled, the BTS can receive clock signals on the IP over E1/T1
link. However, with network evolution, the IP over E1/T1 link will be out of service. In
this case, the link on which the BTS receives clock signals must be manually changed to
the IP over FE/GE link.

5 Abis Transmission Backup Enhancement (eGBTS)
Abis Transmission Backup Enhancement

(eGBTS)
Unlike the GBTS, the eGBTS is managed by the U2000 and uses SCTP instead of LAPD on the
control plane. Therefore, the implementation of Abis transmission backup enhancement for the
eGBTS differs from that for the GBTS.

16
GSM BSS
5.1 Network Topology

Abis transmission backup enhancement provides two E2E transmission links (an IP over FE/
GE link and an IP over E1/T1 link) to implement link backup between the BTS and the BSC as
well as between the BTS and the U2000. The U2000 does not support the E1/T1 port, and
therefore the IP over E1/T1 link from the BTS must be converted by the BSC to an Ethernet link
used for connection to the U2000.
Figure 5-1 Network topology for Abis transmission backup enhancement
For the eGBTS, there are three planes: user plane, control plane, and management plane. Data
on the three planes are carried over different logical paths. Abis transmission backup
enhancement provides backup for logical paths to improve the reliability of transmission links.
Abis transmission backup on the user plane is achieved by establishing a primary and a backup
IP path between the BTS and the BSC. On the BSC side, the PATHFLAG parameter specifies
whether a path is primary or backup.
Abis transmission backup on the control plane is achieved by establishing SCTP multi-homing
links between the BTS and the BSC. A control-plane IP address is configured for the BTS, and
an IP address is configured for each FE/GE and E1/T1/STM-1 port on the BSC. Multi-homing
SCTP links are established between the control-plane IP address of the BTS and each port address
of the BSC. Each SCTP link has a primary and a backup path.
For example, if the IP over FE/GE link is specified as the primary link, configure an SCTP link
as follows:
l
On the BTS side: Set the LOCIP parameter to the control-plane IP address of the BTS and
the PEERIP and SECPEERIP parameters to the IP address of the FE/GE port and that of
the E1/T1/STM-1 port on the BSC respectively.
On the BSC side, set the PEERIP1 parameter to the control-plane IP address of the BTS
and LOCIP1 and LOCIP2 parameters to the IP address of the FE/GE port and that of the
E1/T1/STM-1 port on the BSC respectively.
Enable the primary path to use the control-plane IP address of the BTS and the IP address
of the FE/GE port on the BSC.
Enable the backup path to use the control-plane IP address of the BTS and the IP address
of the E1/T1/STM-1 port on the BSC side.
Abis transmission backup on the management plane is achieved by establishing an active and a
standby operation and maintenance channel (OMCH) between the BTS and the U2000. Data on

17
GSM BSS
the OMCH in IP over E1/T1 mode is forwarded by the BSC, which needs to be configured with
the route for forwarding OMCH data. On the U2000 side, an IP address is configured. On the
BTS side, two OM IP addresses are configured and the FLAG parameter specifies whether an
OMCH is active or standby.
l
The local IP address of the active OMCH is the first OM IP address (BTS_OM IP1) of the
BTS.
The local IP address of the standby OMCH is the second OM IP address (BTS_OM IP2)
of the BTS.
The peer IP address of either the active or standby OMCH is the IP address of the U2000.
For the co-MPT multimode base station, the GSM, UMTS, and LTE modes use the same OMCH.
When the IP over FE/GE link becomes faulty, the OMCH on the IP over E1/T1 link is used.
Abis transmission backup enhancement does not support the following network topologies:
l
An IP over E1/T1 link from the IP over E1/T1 port on the BTS is converted to an IP over
FE/GE link by the router deployed in the IP bearer network. The IP over FE/GE link is then
connected to the IP over FE/GE interface board on the BSC.
The IP network between the BTS and the BSC is a layer 2 (L2) network.
In BTS cascading scenarios, if an IP over E1/T1 link is converted to an IP over FE/GE link on
the hub BTS, Abis transmission backup enhancement cannot be enabled for leaf BTSs.

of the BTS.
5.1.2 Hardware Configuration on the BSC Side

Both IP over E1/T1 and IP over FE/GE interface boards are configured for the BSC.
5.2 Switchover
The user plane, control plane, and management plane use a primary and a backup transmission
link separately: an IP over FE/GE link and an IP over E1/T1 link. The three planes apply different
methods to detect the link status.
On the user plane, the BSC initiates the UDP ping detection on both the primary and backup IP
paths to check whether they are functional, and the BTS loops the UDP ping detection packet
back to the BSC. Based on the UDP ping result, the BSC determines the status of the two IP
paths. On the BSC side, the PATHCHK parameter specifies whether to enable an IP path check,
and the UDP ping detection can be enabled by setting the CHECKT parameter to UDP(UDP).
On the control plane, the SCTP multi-homing detection is used to determine whether a link
switchover is needed. Each SCTP link has a primary and a backup path. The heartbeat is used
to check whether the SCTP path that does not carry services is connected or disconnected, and
the packet retransmission and acknowledgement mechanism is used to check whether the SCTP
path that carries services is connected or disconnected.
On the management plane, the active and standby OMCHs are used. The BTS uses the UDP
ping detection to check whether the OMCHs between the BTS and the BSC are faulty. Based
on the UDP ping result, the BTS determines whether to switch over OMCHs. On the BTS side,
the CHECKTYPE parameter determines whether to enable an OMCH check, and the UDPSN
parameter specifies the UDP ping session ID bound to an OMCH. A UDP ping session can be
added by running the ADD UDPSESSION command on the BTS side.
The procedure for implementing Abis transmission backup enhancement consists of three stages:
working, switchover, and switchback.
5.2.1 Working Stage

On the user plane, the primary IP path is the working path when both the primary and backup
IP paths function properly.
On the control plane, the primary SCTP path is the working path when both the primary and
backup SCTP paths function properly.
On the management plane, the active OMCH is the working path when both the active and
standby OMCHs function properly.
5.2.2 Switchover Stage

On the user plane, if the BSC detects that the primary IP path becomes faulty and the backup IP
path functions properly, the BSC automatically switches over services to the backup IP path.
During the switchover, the ongoing services on the Abis interface are interrupted. After the
switchover, new services are processed by the backup IP path. If both the primary and backup
IP paths are faulty, the BSC does not perform a switchover.

19
GSM BSS
On the control plane, both the BTS and BSC check SCTP paths. If the primary SCTP path
becomes faulty and the backup SCTP path functions properly, services are switched over to the
backup SCTP path.
On the management plane, the BSC initiates the UDP ping detection to ping BSC IP1 and BSC
IP2 from the active and standby OMCHs on the user plane. If the active OMCH becomes faulty
and the standby OMCH functions properly, the working OMCH switches to the standby OMCH.
On the U2000 side, handshake packets to and from the BTS are used for detection. If the BTS
starts to use the standby OMCH for data transmission, the U2000 detects no handshake responses
on the active OMCH and starts to use the standby OMCH.
NOTE
The working link is carried on the IP over FE/GE link, and the standby link is carried on the IP over E1/T1 link.
When the OMCH connecting the BTS and U2000 is functioning properly but the UDP ping detects a fault
between the BTS and BSC, the active and standby OMCHs on the BTS side are switched over. In this situation,
the BTS can receive downlink OM packets from the U2000 over the IP over FE/GE link but sends the U2000
uplink OM packets over the IP over E1/T1 link. This causes inconsistent transmission of OM packets in the
uplink and downlink.
With the Abis transmission backup enhancement function, when ONLYOMIP is set to ENABLE(ENABLE),
the BTS does not send the U2000 a response packet after receiving a downlink OM packet over the IP over FE/
GE link in the preceding scenario. If this occurs, the U2000 cannot detect a handshake response and starts to
use the standby OMCH. Accordingly, all uplink and downlink OM packets are transmitted over the IP over E1/
T1 link. This ensures consistent transmission of OM packets in the uplink and downlink.
5.2.3 Switchback Stage

On the user plane, the AUTOSWITCHFLAG parameter on the BSC side determines whether
an automatic switchback is performed when the primary IP path recovers:
l
ENABLE: An automatic switchback is performed and new services are carried on the
primary path.
DISABLE: An automatic switchback is not performed and new services are still carried
on the backup path.
On the control plane, the AUTOSWITCH parameter on the BTS side determines whether an
automatic switchback is performed when the primary SCTP path recovers:
l
ENABLE(Enable): An automatic switchback is performed and the primary SCTP path is

used.
DISABLE(Disable): An automatic switchback is not performed and the backup SCTP path
is still used.
In addition, the SWITCHBACKFLAG parameter on the BSC side determines whether an

automatic switchback is performed when the primary SCTP path recovers:
l
YES(YES): An automatic switchback is performed and the primary SCTP path is used.
NO(NO): An automatic switchback is not performed and the backup SCTP path is still
used.
On the management plane, the OMCHSWITCHBACK parameter determines whether an

automatic switchback is performed when the active OMCH recovers.
l
ENABLE(Enable): An automatic switchback is performed and the active OMCH is used.

20
GSM BSS
DISABLE(Disable): An automatic switchback is not performed and the standby OMCH

is still used.
5.3 Scenario for Using Both PnP and Abis Transmission

Backup Enhancement
When the BTS is deployed by PnP, only the primary link can be enabled with the DHCP relay
function. Deployment by PnP can be successful only when the primary link functions properly.
For the eGBTS, the IP network or Ethernet provides the DHCP relay function if the IP over FE/
GE link is the primary link, and the BSC provides the DHCP relay function for the IP over E1/
T1 link that works as the primary link.
5.4 Scenario for Changing Transmission Type

Changing the transmission type consists of:
l
Changing the GBTS to the eGBTS that supports Abis transmission backup enhancement
Changing Abis transmission backup enhancement from the GBTS to the eGBTS. This
requires re-planning of configuration data.
To change the transmission type, plan the reconstruction from the GBTS to the eGBTS and the
configuration data for enabling Abis transmission backup enhancement of the eGBTS.
5.5 Scenario for Using Abis Transmission Backup

Enhancement and Other Features
l
When Abis transmission backup enhancement is enabled, the GBFD-118607 IP

Performance Monitor feature can be enabled only for the IP over FE/GE link.
The GBFD-118604 Abis MUX feature can be enabled only for one link. When Abis
transmission backup enhancement is enabled, Abis MUX can be enabled only for the
primary link.
The BTS clock works independently. If the clock source, link, or interface is faulty, the
BTS clock works in the hold state. Abis transmission backup enhancement only supports
switchovers of services between the primary and backup links, without involving the BTS
clock. When Abis transmission backup enhancement is enabled, the BTS can receive clock
signals on the IP over E1/T1 link. However, with network evolution, the IP over E1/T1 link
will be out of service. In this case, the link on which the BTS receives clock signals must
be manually changed to the IP over FE/GE link.
When the GBFD-118201 Soft-Synchronized Network feature and Abis transmission

backup enhancement are both enabled, the BTS can receive clock signals on the IP over
E1/T1 link. If the IP over E1/T1 link is out of service with network evolution, enable the
BTS to support synchronous Ethernet-based soft-synchronized network and the
transmission network to synchronize with the Ethernet.
With the active/standby route function, the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is
used to detect route faults. With the Abis transmission backup enhancement, the user plane,
control plane, and the management plane use different detection modes. Therefore,

21
GSM BSS
detection modes of the active/standby route function and Abis transmission backup
enhancement conflict. To use both functions, ensure that all the following conditions are
met:
The detection and switchover duration of Abis transmission backup enhancement is
longer (recommended: at least five times longer) than the detection and switchover
duration of the active/standby route function.
The active and standby OMCHs are configured with three routes.
The IP over FE/GE link is configured with an active and a standby route.
The IP over E1/T1 link is configured with a route.
The standby route of the IP over FE/GE link has a lower priority than the active route
of the IP over FE/GE link but a higher priority than the routes of IP over E1/T1 link.
l
When Abis transmission backup enhancement is used with the U2000 remote HA system,
if the active and standby servers of the U2000 remote HA system have different routes
(with different destination IP addresses and next hops), the active and standby servers are
bound to the active and standby OMCHs respectively and different routes.

7 Network Impact
Network Impact
7.1 System Capacity

7.1.1 Satellite Transmission Backup
Satellite transmission backup has no impact on system capacity when the TDM terrestrial
transmission link functions properly. If services carried on the TDM terrestrial transmission link
are switched over to the satellite transmission link with lower bandwidth, the capacity of the
Abis transmission link decreases to the same as that of the satellite transmission link.
The ring topology solution supports a maximum configuration of S5/5/5.
7.1.2 Abis Transmission Backup Enhancement

For both the GBTS and eGBTS, Abis transmission backup enhancement has no impact on system
capacity when the primary link functions properly. If services carried on the primary link are
switched over to the backup link with lower bandwidth, the capacity of the Abis transmission
link decreases to the same as that of the backup link.
For the co-MPT multimode base station, the GSM, UMTS, and LTE modes use the same OMCH.
When the primary link becomes faulty, the control plane signaling and user data of the GSM
mode and O&M data of the three modes are switched over to the backup link. When the backup
link has lower bandwidth than the primary link, the capacity of the Abis transmission link
decreases to the same as that of the backup link.
7.2 Network Performance

During a switchover, all ongoing services on the Abis interface are interrupted for less than 10
minutes.
If services carried on the TDM terrestrial transmission link are switched over to the satellite
transmission link with lower bandwidth, the key performance indicators (KPIs), such as the

25
GSM BSS
7 Network Impact
access success rate and throughput decrease, and the call drop rate increases. After the TDM
terrestrial transmission link recovers, the KPIs return to normal if the services are manually
switched back to the TDM terrestrial transmission link.

For both the GBTS and eGBTS, all ongoing services on the Abis interface are interrupted for
less than 1 minute during a switchover. In addition, the OMCH of the eGBTS are interrupted
for less than 4 minutes.
If services carried on the primary link are switched over to the backup link with lower bandwidth,
the KPIs such as the access success rate, the throughput rate, and the call drop rate deteriorates.
After the primary link recovers, the KPIs return to normal if the services are automatically
switched back to the primary link.

8 Engineering Guidelines
Engineering Guidelines
8.1 When to Use Abis Transmission Backup

It is recommended that the ring topology solution be used by GBSS8.1 and the dual-logical BTS
solution be used by GBSS9.0 and later versions.

For both the GBTS and eGBTS:
l
The existing TDM or SDH network can still be used after IP evolution. It is recommended
that Abis transmission backup enhancement be deployed to improve the reliability of
transmission links over the Abis interface.
Abis transmission backup enhancement applies only to scenarios where an E2E IP over
E1/T1 link is deployed between the BTS and the BSC.
In transmission network adjustment scenarios, that is, when the transmission network
changes to the Abis transmission backup enhancement networking mode, services are
interrupted. Therefore, it is recommended that this feature be activated only during offpeak hours.
For the GBTS, Abis transmission backup enhancement requires changes in the transmission type
and takes effect only after the GBTS resets.

On the UMPT/UMDU board, configure two
routes to the U2000.The next hop address of
one route is the IP address of the router
directly connected to the UMPT/UMDU

other route is set to OUTIF(Out Interface),
and the route is bound to the standby OMCH.

l On the UMPT board, configure the route
to the U2000. The next hop address of the
route is the IP address of the router
directly connected to the UMPT board,
and the route is bound to the active
OMCH.
l On the GTMUb board, configure the route
to the U2000. The Route Type parameter

l On the IP over FE/GE interface board of
the BSC, configure routes to BTS_CP/UP
IP.
l On the IP over E1/T1 interface board of
the BSC, configure routes to BTS_CP/UP
IP.
NOTE
When Abis transmission backup enhancement is used with the U2000 remote HA system whose active and
standby servers use the same route on the BTS side, the active and standby OMCHs do not need to be
bound to any standby route. If the active and standby servers have different routes (with different destination
IP addresses and next hops), the active and standby OMCHs must be bound to a standby route.
When Abis transmission backup enhancement is used with the active/standby route function, two standby
routes must be configured on the BTS side, one for the OMCH on the IP over FE/GE link, and the other
for connecting the BTS user plane or control plane to BSC_IP1.
The management plane and the user plane/control plan cannot share routes or have routes with destination
addresses on the same network segment. This restriction also applies to the management plane in a mode
and the user plane/control plane in other modes for a co-MPT base station.

8.6.3 Precautions
l
During Abis Transmission Backup Enhancement deployment, a BTS must be deactivated,

activated, or reset, which interrupt ongoing services for a short period.
During primary/backup link switchover, ongoing services are interrupted for less than 1
minute.
Changing the value of Wait Time Before Link Switchover shortens or prolongs the
interruption, and therefore the default value is recommended.

Verification of Data at the Physical Layer and Data Link Layer
To verify changing IP over E1/T1 to Abis transmission backup enhancement, perform the
following steps on the BSC6900 LMT:
Step 1 Run the DSP E1T1 command to query the value of Port running state.
Expected result: The value of Port running state is Port is up.
Step 2 If the PPP link is configured, run the DSP PPPLNK command to query the values of Link
state, Local IP address, and Peer IP address. If the value of Link state is UP and the values

63
GSM BSS
of Local IP address and Peer IP address are consistent with data configurations, proceed to
Step 4. Otherwise, the transmission link is faulty, and you need to locate and rectify the fault.
Step 3 If the Multi-Link Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP) link is configured, run the DSP MPGRP
command to query the values of Link state, Local IP address, and Peer IP address. In addition,
run the DSP MPLNK command to query the value of Link state and LCP negotiated state.
Proceed to Step 5 only when all the following conditions are true:
l The value of Link state is Normal in the DSP MPGRP command output and UP in the
DSP MPLNK command output.
l The value of LCP negotiated state is Connect available.
l The values of Local IP address and Peer IP address are consistent with data configurations.
Otherwise, the transmission link is faulty, and you need to locate and rectify the fault.
Step 4 Run the PING IP command with Source IP address and Destination IP address set to the
value of Peer IP address and that of Local IP address in the DSP PPPLNK command output,
respectively. If statistics about ping packets are available in the command output, the PPP link
is functional.
value of Local IP address and that of Peer IP address in the DSP MPGRP command output.
If statistics about ping packets are available in the command output, the MLPPP link is
functional.
----End
To verify changing IP over FE/GE to Abis transmission backup enhancement, perform the
following steps on the BSC6900 LMT:
Step 1 Run the DSP ETHPORT command with subrack number, slot number, and port number the
same as those of the peer interface board connected to the BTS.
Expected result: The values of Port state and Link Availability Status are Activated and
Available respectively.
Step 2 Run the PING IP command with its parameters set as follows:
l For the primary link, set Source IP address and Destination IP address to the value of
BSC IP and that of BTS IP in the LST BTSIP command output, respectively.
l For the backup link, set Source IP address and Destination IP address to the value of BSC
IP in Backup Link and that of BTS IP in Backup Link in the LST BTSIPBAK command
output, respectively.
Expected result: Statistics about ping packets are available in the command output.
----End
Verification of Data on the Control Plane over the Abis Interface

On the BSC6900 LMT, perform the following steps:
Step 1 On the BSC LMT, run the DSP LAPDLNK command to query whether the LAPD link is
functional. If the value of UsageStatus is Normal, the LAPD link is functional. After the
command is executed to query Abis signaling link by BTS index:

64
GSM BSS
l If the value of UsageStatus is Normal for an OML whose Link flag is set to Primary, the
primary link is working;
l If the value of UsageStatus is Normal for an OML whose Link flag is set to Backup, the
backup link is working.
In normal cases, the value of UsageStatus is Inactive for a link that is not working.
Step 2 Run the DSP ADJNODE command to query the status of an adjacent node, the number of paths
to the adjacent node, and available bandwidth. If the value of Operation state is Available and
the related bandwidth is greater than 0, the adjacent node is functional.
----End
Verification of Data on the User Plane over the Abis Interface

On the BSC LMT, run the DSP IPPATH command to query information of an IP path. If the
value of Operation state is Available and the available bandwidth is greater than 0, the IP path
is functional.
8.6.6 Deactivation
Using the LMT
On the BSC6900 LMT, perform the following steps:
Step 2 Disable the Abis MUX function (if any) for the primary link. For details, see IP Transmission
Efficiency Improvement Feature Parameter Description.
Step 3 Disable the IP PM function (if any) for the IP over FE/GE link. For details, see IP Performance
Step 4 Run the RMV IPPATH command to delete the IP path configured for the primary link.
Step 5 Run the SET BTSIP command to change the communication IP address of the primary link on
the IP BTS if required.
Step 6 Run the RMV BTSCONNECT command to delete the BTS connection if the IP over FE/GE
transmission is to be used.
Step 7 Run the MOD BTS command with IP Phy Trans Type set to IP_OVER_FE/GE or
IP_OVER_E1.
Step 8 Run the RMV IPPATH command to delete the IP path configured for the backup link.
Step 9 Run the RMV BTSIPBAK command to delete the communication address for the backup link
on the IP BTS.
Step 10 Run the ADD IPPATH command to add an IP path.
Step 11 To change Abis transmission backup enhancement to IP over FE/GE, restore Abis MUX and IP
PM. For details, see IP Transmission Efficiency Improvement Feature Parameter
Description and IP Performance Monitor Feature Parameter Description.

65
GSM BSS
Step 12 To change Abis transmission backup enhancement to IP over E1/T1, restore Abis MUX. For
details, see IP Transmission Efficiency Improvement Feature Parameter Description.
Step 13 Run the ACT BTS command to activate the BTS.

8.7.3 Precautions
Changing transmission mode to Abis transmission backup enhancement involves changing
OMCHs, IP paths, and SCTP links.
When an OMCH is changed and no OMCH is activated, the OMCH is set to the activated OMCH.
When the OMCH and services work abnormally, the automatic OMCH establishment procedure
is triggered. The procedure ends when the OMCH recovers.
Changing IP path or SCTP link parameters may interrupt OMCHs and services. For details, see
"Service Interrupted After Modification information" in the parameter description.
8.7.4 Activation

Verification of Data at the Physical Layer and Data Link Layer
To verify changing IP over E1/T1 to Abis transmission backup enhancement, query the PPP link
or MLPPP link status on both the eGBTS and BSC sides.
For the BSC, perform the following steps on the BSC6900 LMT:
Step 1 Run the DSP E1T1 command to query the value of Port running state.
Expected result: The value of Port running state is Port is up.
Step 2 If the PPP link is configured, run the DSP PPPLNK command to query the values of Link
state, Local IP address, and Peer IP address. If the value of Link state is UP and the values
of Local IP address and Peer IP address are consistent with data configurations, proceed to
Step 4. Otherwise, the transmission link is faulty, and you need to locate and rectify the fault.
Step 3 If the MLPPP link is configured, run the DSP MPGRP command to query the values of Link
state, Local IP address, and Peer IP address. In addition, run the DSP MPLNK command to
query the value of Link state and LCP negotiated state. Proceed to Step 5 only when all the
following conditions are true:
l The value of Link state is Normal in the DSP MPGRP command output and UP in the
DSP MPLNK command output.
l The value of LCP negotiated state is Connect available.
l The values of Local IP address and Peer IP address are consistent with data configurations.

For the eGBTS, perform the following steps on the BTS LMT:
Step 1 Run the DSP E1T1 command to query the value of Link Running Status.
Expected result: The value of is Link Running Status is Available.
Step 2 Check whether the configured link is a PPP or an MLPPP link:
l If the PPP link is configured, run the DSP PPPLNK command to query the values of Link
Status, Local IP, and Peer IP. If the value of Link Status is UP and the value of Local
IP and Peer IP are consistent with data configurations, the transmission link is functional.
l If the MLPPP link is configured, run the DSP MPGRP command to query the values of
MLPPP Group Status, IPCP Status, Local IP, and Peer IP. The transmission link is
functional only when all the following conditions are true:
The value of MLPPP Group Status is Up.
The value of IPCP Status is OPENED.
The values of Local IP and Peer IP are consistent with data configurations.
----End
To verify changing IP over FE/GE to Abis transmission backup enhancement, query the PPP
link or MLPPP link status on both the eGBTS and BSC sides.
For the BSC, perform the following steps on the BSC6900 LMT:
Step 1 Run the DSP ETHPORT command with subrack number, slot number, and port number the
same as those of the peer interface board connected to the BTS.
Expected result: The values of Port state and Link Availability Status are Activated and
Available, respectively.
Step 2 Run the PING IP command with its parameters set for an IP link as follows:
l Set Source IP address to the value of Local IP address in the LST ETHIP command output.
l Set Destination IP address to the value of the BTS user plane or control plane IP address.
Expected result: Statistics about ping packets are available in the command output.
----End
For the eGBTS, perform the following step on the BTS LMT:
Step 1 Run the DSP ETHPORT command.
Expected result: The values of Port Status and Physical Layer Status are both Up.
----End
Verification for the User Plane

Step 1 Query the IP path status and the working path on both the eGBTS and BSC sides.

93
GSM BSS
l On the BTS LMT, run the DSP IPPATH command to query information of an IP path. The
IP path is functional and is the working path if the values of TX Bandwidth(Kbit/s) and
RX Bandwidth(Kbit/s) are greater than 0.
l On the BSC LMT, run the DSP IPPATH command to query information of an IP path.
The IP path is functional if the value of Operation state is Available.
The IP path is the working path and the other path is the backup path if the values of Used
forward bandwidth of path [kbit/s] and Used backward bandwidth of path [kbit/s]
are greater than 0.
Step 2 Check whether ALM-21581 Path Fault is reported. If no such alarm is reported, both the primary
and backup IP paths are functional. Trigger an IP path fault and check whether the backup IP
path is functional be referring to Step 1.
Step 3 Restore the fault path in Step 2.
----End
Verification for the Control Plane

Step 1 Query the SCTP link status and the working path on both the eGBTS and BSC sides.
To query the working path, run the DSP SCTPLNK command on the BTS LMT.
l If the value of Work Address Flag is Active Path, the path between the first local IP address
and the first peer IP address is the working path on the control plane.
l If the value of Work Address Flag is Standby Path, the path between the first local IP
address and the second peer IP address is the working path on the control plane.
The SCTP link is functional when the following conditions are true:
l The value of Operation state is Normal after the DSP SCTPLNK command is executed
on the BSC6900 LMT.
l No ALM-21543 SCTP Link IP Address Unreachable is reported.
Step 2 Trigger a link fault to enable an SCTP path switchover. Check whether the SCTP path switchover
is successful.
l On the eGBTS side, the SCTP path switchover is successful when the following conditions
are true:
EVT-25890 SCTP Link Path Switchover is reported.
If the value of Work Address Flag is Active Path in Step 1, run the DSP SCTPLNK
command again and the command output indicates that the value becomes Standby
Path. If the value of Work Address Flag is Standby Path in Step 1, run the DSP
SCTPLNK command again and the command output indicates that the value becomes
Active Path.
l On the BSC side, the SCTP path switchover is successful when the following conditions are
true:
ALM-21543 SCTP Link IP Address Unreachable and EVT-22915 SCTP Link
Destination IP Changeover are reported.
The value of Operation state is Normal after the DSP SCTPLNK command is executed
on the BSC6900 LMT.

Step 1 Query the working OMCH.
On the BTS LMT, run the DSP OMCH command to query the OMCH status. If the values of
OM Channel Status and Used State for an OMCH are Normal and In Use, respectively, the
OMCH is activated and working.
Step 2 Trigger an OMCH switchover.
Trigger a transmission link fault for the working OMCH. Verify that the working OMCH
switches from the fault OMCH to a functional OMCH.
l If the active OMCH is working, trigger a fault for the route associated with the active OMCH.
Wait five minutes and run the DSP OMCH command with Master/Slave Flag set to SLAVE
(Slave). If the values of OM Channel Status and Used State are Normal and In Use
respectively, the working OMCH has switched to the standby OMCH.
l If the standby OMCH is working, trigger a fault for the route associated with the standby
OMCH. Wait five minutes and run the DSP OMCH command with Master/Slave Flag set
to MASTER(Master). If the values of OM Channel Status and Used State are Normal
and In Use, respectively, the working OMCH has switched to the active OMCH.

Meaning:This

specifies the

the priority of
the user plane
data that is
carried on the IP
path. The
mapping
between the
priority of the
user plane data
and IP path is
configured
through the
"ADD
TRMMAP"
command. An IP
path is of either
the QoS type or
the non-QoS
type. For
example, the IP
paths used to
carry BE data,
AF data, and EF
data are all of the
non-QoS type.
Different data
can share the
bandwidth of a
QoS-type IP
path. The
bandwidth of a
non-QoS type IP
path, however,
cannot be
shared. For the
non-QoS type IP
path, the priority
of EF data is
higher than that
of AF data,
which in turn is
higher than that
of BE data. The
