„ BSS communicates with AT over the Um air interface and


communicates with the core network through the
corresponding A/Ap interface.
„ BTS lies between AT and BSC, and is responsible for
connection between AT and core network.
f At the radio side, BTS communicates with AT over Um air
interface.
f At the network side, BTS communicates with BSC over
Abis interface.
f In the forward direction, BTS first receives data from BSC
over Abis interface. It implements CDMA coding and data
modulation by converting baseband signals into RF
signals followed by power amplification and subsequent
transmission over RFE and antennas.

12 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION


Chapter 2 BSS Technical Description

f In the reverse direction, BTS receives weak radio signals


from AT via the antenna feeder and RFE. It performs low
noise amplification, down-conversion, CDMA signal
decoding and demodulation, and sends the signals to BSC
over Abis interface.
„ BSC has overall control of BSS and establishes connection
with BTS over Abis interface and the Mobile Switching Center
Emulation (MSCe), Media Gateway (MGW), Packet Data
Service Node (PDSN), Broadcast Serving Node (BSN) and
Dispatching Server Subsystem (DSS) connection over A/Ap
interface.
„ Netnumen™ M3 (ZXC10 BSSB) OMM (Operation and
Maintenance Module) manages NEs and provides a standard
interface to connect with upper-level NMC. It can be
connected to the upper-level NMS via the standard CORBA,
SNMP, FTP, or Telnet interface.
„ BSS, MSCe, MGW and Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN) work together to implement voice service and Short
Messaging Service (SMS) function in the traditional circuit
domain.
„ BSS, PDSN work with Internet to implement data service in
the packet domain that leads to implementation of other
data services. Addition of several core network function
entities enables delivery of EV-DO multicast services.
„ BSS and DSS work together to implement digital trunking
communication services.
„ BSS and BSN work together to implement broadcasting

BSS BSS supports multiple networking modes, includes:
Networking
„ Star Networking
In star networking, BSC connects with each BTS directly
through E1 link, satellite link or built-in Synchronous Digital
Hierarchy (SDH) link, and each BTS represents a terminal
device. Simplicity of this mode enables easy maintenance
and engineering. Since signal transmission takes place with
fewer intermediate links, transmission reliability is higher.
Star networking commonly applies to more populated areas.

„ Chain Networking
In chain networking, several BTS interconnect to form a
chain, and interface with BSC through BTS located at chain
ends. In this mode, signal transmission takes place through
intermediate nodes, resulting in low transmission reliability.
This mode is suitable for less populated areas. Employing
this networking mode reduces investment on transmission
equipments. Chain networking is also applicable for sites
with multiple BTS.

Alarm Levels and Query


Overview BSS system provides an operation& maintenance software
named NetNumen™ M3 (ZXC10 BSSB).
NetNumen™ M3 (ZXC10 BSSB) provides an alarm management
tool for the maintenance personnel to monitor NEs (Network
Elements) in the entire network, collect abnormal messages
generated during NE running, and display these messages in
forms like texts, graphics, sounds and light. In this way, the
user can obtain the real-time information about the exceptional
cases and handle them in time to ensure normal and reliable
running of the BSS system.

Alarm Levels
Based on the alarm severity, the alarm information can be
classified into four Levels: 1, 2, 3 and 4, representing critical
alarms, major alarms, minor alarms and warnings respectively.
„ Level 1 alarm is critical alarms and requires immediate
handling.
„ Level 2 alarm is major alarms that can affects system
functionality and requires on time handling.
„ Level 3 alarm is minor alarms and reminds the maintenance
personnel to remove the possible faults.
„ Level 4 alarm is warning alarms, which keeps the
maintenance personnel aware of equipment running state.
