9370 RNC compatibility matrix

Hardware applicability

The following applicability conditions have to be met for 9370 RNC hardware upgrade

and functioning:Combination of cards

• No combination of PSFP1 and DCPS cards is supported in the same 9370 RNC because DCPS hardware is more robust. An existing alarm (7078 0059) indicates anunsupported configuration due to co-existence of PSFP1 and DCPS in the sameswitch.

• No combination of PSFP1 and eDCPS cards is supported in the same 9370 RNC.

• A combination of DCPS and eDCPS is supported in the same 9370 RNC in Isocapacity. On activation of eDCPS Capacity Increase feature, an RNC must beequipped with eDCPS cards only. However, only a configuration containing 10 and

12 eDCPS cards is supported with eDCPS Capacity Increase feature.When RNC is equipped with eDCPS cards, the number of TMUs supported are:

– 10 eDCPS with default (12), 14, 16,18, and 20 TMUs

– 12 eDCPS with default (14), 20, 24, and 26 TMUs

Application

• This method is applicable for UA08.1 9370 RNC. The 9370 RNC configuration mayinclude a POC (Point of Concentration).

• Standalone 15k POC, standalone 7k POC, and Access Node presented in thisdocument are for user reference only and not the part of 9370 RNC Market Packages.

• This transport node may be based on Alcatel-Lucent platform (7670 RSP, 7670 ESE).

Equipment

This method applies to the Alcatel-Lucent 9370 RNC cabinet.

Service Impact

There is no service impact on initial sites.

ATM to IP transport evolution

Before the UA6.0 release, 9370 RNC supported ATM-based interfaces only (up to and

including the UA05.2 release). IP support was introduced in UA6.0 for hybrid IuB andIuPS. IP support was further expanded to include IuB, IuR, and IuCS on IP in releaseUA07.1. This evolution of the RNC interface capability is illustrated in Figure 1-1,“Release-based summary of ATM and IP transport introduction” (p. 1-3).

Available modules and combinations

The Table 1-1, “Hardware compatibility” (p. 1-3) indicates possible combinations of

various cards, which can be used.

Note: It is only to be used as a guideline because each network has different essentialneeds and some combinations might not be an economic solution.

Transport protocol and cards

The images show the transport protocol as per the release/hardware compatibility.

All RNC interfaces were transported as ATM on Sonet OC3 (or ATM on SDH STM1) tillUA5.2 release.

The ATM user-plane transport used the following transport layers and protocols:

• ATM-AAL2/Sonet (SDH) for IuB, IuR, and IuCS

• IP/ATM-AAL5/Sonet (SDH)4 for IuPS

The ATM control-plane traffic was a mix of AAL5 (NBAP) and SS7 stacks both also

being carried on ATM-AAL5 /Sonet (SDH).Release UA06 introduced Hybrid IuB and IuPS on IP/GE. For hybrid IuB, HSPA user

plane traffic was routed as UDP/IP/GE, whereas other user-plane traffic (voice and other low bandwidth traffic) remained on ATM-AAL2/Sonet (SDH). All the IuB control-planetraffic remained on the ATM/Sonet (SDH) transport. With UA06, in addition to the ATMtransport for IuPS, all user-plane and control-plane traffic could alternately be transportedover IP/GE.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................




19/108

Release UA07.1 introduced the support for IP/GE for the IuCS, IuR, and IuB (native IPIuB) interfaces. With this release, it was possible to use hybrid (ATM and IP) connectionson the same RNC for any Iu interface.

• IuB - An RNC can connect simultaneously to a NodeB with ATM-only connections, a NodeB with hybrid (ATM and IP) connections, and a NodeB with IP-only

connections.• IuR - An RNC may have some neighboring RNC with ATM IuR connections and

others with IP IuR connections. Although a single RNC can support both ATM and IPIuR connections, all connections between any two RNCs have to be either ATM or IP

based.

• IuPS - Using IuFlex, an RNC can connect simultaneously to one (or more) SGSNcore with ATM connections and one (or more) other SGSN with IP/GE connections.

• IuCS - Using IuFlex, an RNC can connect simultaneously to one (or more) MSC withATM/Sonet (SDH) connections and other MSC with IP/ GE connections.

With the introduction of IP IuB, IuCS, IuR, and continued support for IuPS, it is now possible to deliver an All IP UTRAN RNC. Replacement of two 16P OC3 (STM1) FPcards with two Packet Server (PS) cards facilitates proportional growth in RNC capacityfrom 10 to 12 PS cards.

eDCPS capacity increase

To activate the eDCPS Capacity Increase feature, the RNC must be equipped with eDCPS boards only.

Note: See, “Hardware applicability” (p. 1-2) for supported configurations.

When the eDCPS Capacity Increase feature is activated, the following network changesand configurations are applicable:

• A service outage is implied.

• There is no gain in maximum number of cells managed by an RNC in this release.

22/108

Explanation: Each service group (SG) supports a maximum number of 144 cells,which depends on the number of TMUs configured. For example, if the RNC isequipped with 10 eDCPS cards and we have 12 TMUs (with 10 SGs), then the RNCcan manage a maximum of 1440 cells. Once ServiceGroup*144 crosses 2400-cellmark on a RNC containing 10 eDCPS boards, the maximum number of cells managed

by the RNC in this configuration will be limited to 2400 cells.

Note: When the eDCPS Capacity Increase feature is not activated, an RNC equippedwith 10 eDCPS boards can support 2400 cells. For example, If the number of TMUsis 14, then number of managed cells will be 2400; (12 SG * 204 ≥ 2400 cells).

The number of service groups supported is described in the following table:

Table 1-2 NumberOfServiceGroups (default)

eDCPS NumberOfServiceGroup Service Group Id range

4* 3 (0..2)

6* 5 (0..4)

8* 7 (0..6)

10 10 (0..9)

12 12 (0..11)

Notes:

1. * = Not supported when eDCPS capacity increase feature is activated.

Note: The values listed above are default values and used for commissioning purposeonly. In case of 10 and 12 eDCPS configurations, the actual number of service groups

are set based on the required configuration and capacity.

9370 RNC cabinet power on

Purpose

This procedure powers up the 9370 RNC cabinet.

Procedure

The steps for switching on the 9370 RNC cabinet are as follows:

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Ensure that all power breakers on each BIM are switched off.

Note: Risk of equipment damage by reverse polarity

Use the plus (+) and minus (-) symbols on the rear of the (BIP) to ensure that the

polarity of each A and B battery (-57/-43 V dc) and battery return for the input power

feeds is correct, the minus (-) is -48V and plus (+) is -48V return

When powering up the BIP, reversed polarity will damage circuits inside it the BIP

would have to be replaced.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Verify on the rear of the cabinet that the voltage between the A1- and A1+ pair is negativeand ranges within:

• Nominal power 48 Vdc: min. 40 Vdc max 57.6 Vdc refer to Figure 4-1, “Verificationof the Range of VDC” (p. 4-5)

• Nominal Power 60 Vdc: min. 50 Vdc max 72 Vdc refer to Figure 4-1, “Verification of

the Range of VDC” (p. 4-5)Note: The minus (-) is -48V and plus (+) is -48V return for nominal power 48 Vdc.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 Verify on the rear of the cabinet that the voltage between the B1- and B1+ pair is negativeand ranges within:

• Nominal power 48 Vdc: min. 40 Vdc max 57.6 Vdc refer to Figure 4-1, “Verificationof the Range of VDC” (p. 4-5)

• Nominal Power 60 Vdc: min. 50 Vdc max 72 Vdc refer to Figure 4-1, “Verification of the Range of VDC” (p. 4-5)

Note: The minus (-) is -48V and plus (+) is -48V return for nominal power 48 Vdc.

4 Ensure that all FPs boards & CP spare board are unseated (rear connectors are nottouching the backplane), the CP in slot 0 must remain seated.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

5 Switch on the breakers available on the BIP.

The steps for switching on the breakers are as follows:

1. First turn on the cooling unit by switching on the middle one breaker (A1.3, B1.3) onthe right BIMs

2. Then switch on (1 is push in) the following breakers one at a time until all breakers

are on (A1-1, B1-1, A1-2, B1-2, A1-4, B1-4, A1-5, B1-5) refer to Figure 4-2,“Breakers Interface Panel (BIP) of the 9370 RNC” (p. 4-5).

Note: This procedure applies to the first shelf installation, Every time breakers are to be switched on, the corresponding cards indicated in step 2 must be unseated (hot cardinsertion).
