S1: Local maintenance principleDefinitions

Telecom functionsThe GSM network allows call handling between MS/MS, MS/PLMN, PLMN/MS

The call management is handled by Telecom functions

Operating and maintenance functionsDeploy, operate, upgrade the network is made through the O&M function

The 3 O&M major functions are0 Configuration management0 Fault management0 Performance management

S1: Local maintenance principleDefinitions

Several BSS terminals are available :

0 OMC-R : supervises and controls the whole BSS0 BSC local terminal : supervises and controls BSC, TC, BTS’s, and

transmission SBL’s0 Transmission terminal : supervises and control local transmission

equipment (BSC & TC site)0 BTS local terminal : supervises and controls one BTS0 TC terminal : configuration and alarm reporting for Alcatel 9125 TC0 IMT terminal : supervises and controls the MFS

Since release B6.2 transmission SBLs are no more handled by the Transmission Terminal, but by the BSCTerminal. The Transmission Terminal is only used to configure, read transmission boards files, collect alarms, and perform tests and measurements (local use).

During this course we are going to learn how to use the BSC and the Transmission terminal.

S1: Local maintenance principleManaged objects

Security block

An SBL is a set of circuit which performs a set of coherent functions

If one function is lost, the whole SBL is lost too

More than one SBL may share the same RIT

One SBL may be built on different RIT

Some SBL’s are logical, they can’t be mapped on any hardware

The definition of a RIT is given on the next page.

Replaceable item

A RIT is the lowest assembly piece such as boards, DC/DC converter.

A RIT may contain different SBL’s

Repair block

A Repair Block is the smallest number of SBL’s that must be taken out of service during board replacement to ensure that the faulty RIT is correctly repaired without endangering other SBL

• * : logically associated with BTS, managed by BSC

ACH : provides a 64 kbps data path which flows between the MSC and the BSC. The channels are used as:

•PCM speech and data channels

•N7 channels.

ATR : provides a 2 Mbps link from the MSC to the BSC. The link carries up to 31 A-Channels (up to 30 PCMs, 1 N7 (optional), 1 X.25 (optional)).

BC_RACK_BUS : distributes each paging message to all boards within the required rack. The rack is determined by the destination LAC.

BC_SYS_BUS : distributes each paging message to all BCLA Rack boards

BTS_TEL : this is the radio channel management part of a given BTS. It also provides the radio signal preprocessing (Mode A) needed to support the RR session (error rate, power control, handover, timing advance, etc.).

CPR :

Layer 1:support of HDLC controller (which supports the LAPB), interface to the internal switch.

Signalling: X.25 Layers 2 and 3 protocol, OSI high layer protocol (CMISE and FTAM)

Radio Channel Management: centralised radio channel resource management, telecom supervision to control the overload procedure and handles the reset procedure (initiated by MSC or BSC).

• ** : logically associated with TSC, managed by BSC

DTC :

Layer 1: supports Digital Trunk Control (G703),Supports HDLC Controller (support MTP) , extracts clock information on received A-Trunks interface to the internal switch.

signalling: N7 MTP and SCCP protocols, terrestrial Channel Management: MSC/BSC channel blocking/unblocking.

Radio Channel Management: receives and forwards paging commands and performs the paging group calculation, performs the SCCP mobile user function, controls intra-BSC handovers, controls the assignment of channels by the MSC, distinguishes between transparent and non-transparent messages and routes the transparent messages to the correct TCU.

GSL : Carries GPRS signalling between MFS and BSC

N7 : Carries (between BSS and MSC) the signalling information associated with the traffic channels contained in the A-Channel. The signalling is arranged according to the CCITT Recommendation Q700.

RSL : Carries through the BSC-BTS path, the routing information associated with the traffic channels contained in one BSC-BTS 2 Mbps link. The signalling is arranged according to a LAPD protocol. There is one RSL for one FU/TRX .

each cabinet which is connected to the BIUA PBA with Q1 address 2. ACH = A-Trunk Channel ATR = A-Trunk

TCU :

Layer 1: supports proprietary interface (to FU), known as Base Station (BS) -trunks, supports HDLC controller (support of LAPD), interface to the internal switch.

Signalling: LAPD L2 signalling, radio signalling link control (towards FUs), O&M link (towards OMU), terrestrial channel management (BSC-BTS channel allocation).

Radio Channel Management: receives random access channel request on Abis interface, sends broadcast and paging messages on Abis interface, manages DCCH resources (allocation, link supervision, channel release, power control), selects outgoing SCCP routing on A-interface, taking into account the best signalling spread over N7 links, sets start time and timing advance on all channel allocations, processes measurements for handover requests, processes measurements for power control, routes transparent messages to the correct SCCP, connects BS-channel to the switch, on connection request, manages channel configuration (if modified), manages frequency hopping (if modified), handles trace-invocation.

Those explanations are valid for Telecom functions. For O&M functions please refer to BSS reference guide.

• (*) not seen by the BSC terminal

Abis-HWAY-TP : Provides a G703/G704 link between BSC and BTS. The multiplexing scheme depends on the BTS network topology (ring/star) and on the BTS configuration (number of FUs installed, channels rate, etc.). The mapping is produced by a configuration tool. It carries speech and data.

ATER-HWAY-TP : G703/G704 link multiplexing A-trunks (the multiplexing sheme can be either 3 or 4 A-trunks per submultiplexer highway).

BSC-ADAPT : Multiplexes BS-trunks onto an Abis highway. The number of multiplexed BS-trunks is configurable on the BSC-BTS interface at the BSC site.

BTS-ADAPT : Demultiplexes Abis channels from an Abis highway. The number of demultiplexed Abis channels is configurable on the BSC-BTS interface at the BTS site.

SM-ADAPT : Performs the multiplexing of Ater links.

TC16 : Performs the transcoding between the PSTN coding (64 kbps channel) and the GSM/DCS coding (13 kbps) for 16 channels.

Those explanations are valid for Telecom functions. For O&M functions please refer to BSS reference guide.

Two kind of BSC connection : RS232 - X25RS232

X25 type 1 (EICON C91 X25 board)

There are two ways to connect on the BSC with the BSC terminal.

The first one is to use the RS232 link. This is done normally at the first step of the commissioning while the mini build is not yet loaded in the BSC. Anyway the “normal” way to connect the BSC terminal is to use the X25 connection.

When you select SERIAL ⌫ CONNECT:The connection messages are displayed in the communication windows. The TCC window appears.The Compact TC terminal opens a monitoring window for each MT120 board.The tittle bar of each window shows the TEI (Terminal End Identifier) of each board.

– Example MT120 25 means that the TEI for that board is 25.

In TCIL bus MT120 uses a simplified LPD protocol. Consequently the MT120 addressing in TCIL use the TEI value.The TEI is derived from its physical location and is unique in a TC rack.

Using LAPD protocol between BSC and each MT120 board will be possible in future realease for software downloading.

– View the software inventory for each board of the rack.

3.2 - MT120 SW versions handlingThe MT120 is able to store 3 SW versions in its flash EPROM memory:

– V0 is store in factory in a protected area ( p).– V1 and V2 are stored on site by preload mechanism, in a non protected area of the flash. A

compressed (c) and a non compressed version are stored in flash memory (f). The MT120 uses VO at first installation or when V1 or V2 are corrupted. V1 is the running version and V2 is the previous version. The MT120 board uses V1 (current) after correct preload and activation, and uses V2 (previous) if V1 is corrupted.

For each MT120 SW a status is defined:– Current SW that is currently running the board.– Previous SW that used to run the board before the current SW.– Preloaded SW which has been downloaded but not yet been activated.– Fallback last remaining preloaded version of the current software.– Original Factory software that originally came with the board.
