2 Key Benefits
The BSC6810 supports up to 51,000 Erlang voice traffic or a total of 3,264 Mbit/s
PS throughput in the uplink (UL) plus downlink (DL). Such capacity, however, is
implemented by only two cabinets.
The BSC6810 provides a single-cabinet solution that supports 24,000 Erlang
voice traffic or 1,536 Mbit/s (UL + DL) PS throughput.
If the BSC6810 fails to obtain any external clock, the BSC6810 obtains its working timing
signals from the local oscillator. The timing signals generated by the local oscillator, however, do
not meet the requirements of NodeBs for the clock precision. Therefore, when the BSC6810
uses such timing signals, the NodeBs fail to obtain timing signals from the BSC6810.
2.8.2 Handover
The BSC6810 supports flexible handover strategies and parameter configurations.
Based on different coverage areas, services and loads, it performs different kinds of
handover, such as intra-frequency handover, inter-frequency handover, and inter-RAT
handover. Thus, it improves the speech quality, reduces the call drop rate, and
implements traffic absorption in special areas.
2.9.1 HSDPA
The BSC6810 adopts HSDPA as the solution for high-speed DL data transmission.
The DL rate for a single UE can reach up to 14.4 Mbit/s on the physical sublayer.
In addition, the BSC6810 supports VoIP over HSDPA and IMS over HSDPA, where
VoIP stands for Voice over IP and IMS stands for IP Multimedia Subsystem.
HSDPA enhances the performance of the WCDMA network in the following aspects:
Higher DL data rate
Shorter service delay and more pleasant user experience in high-speed services
More efficient DL coding and power utilization
2.9.2 HSUPA
The BSC6810 adopts HSUPA as the solution for high-speed UL data transmission.
The UL rate for a single UE can reach up to 5.76 Mbit/s on the physical sublayer.
In addition, the BSC6810 supports VoIP over HSUPA and IMS over HSUPA.
HSUPA enhances the performance of the WCDMA network in the following aspects:
Higher UL data rate
Shorter service delay and more pleasant user experience in high-speed services
Faster UL resource control
Better quality of service
2.9.3 MBMS
The BSC6810 adopts MBMS to provide the high-speed multimedia broadcast service.
The transmission rate of MBMS services can reach up to 256 kbit/s.
MBMS enhances resource efficiency and provides diversified multimedia services.

RSR RBR
The RINT refers to the interface board of the BSC6810. Physically, there is no board named
RINT.
RSR
The RSR provides the single-cabinet solution.
The RSR has the following components:
One RNC Switching Subrack (RSS)
Zero to two RNC Business Subracks (RBSs)
RBR
The RBR is configured when the required service processing capability exceeds the
specifications for the RSR. At most one RBR can be configured.
The RBR is configured with only RBSs. The number of RBSs in the RBR ranges from
1 to 3. If the RBR is configured with one or two RBSs, the RBSs should be configured
from the bottom to the top.
0 6 13
Each subrack of the BSC6810 provides a total of 28 slots. The 14 slots on the front
side of the backplane are numbered from 0 to 13, and those on the rear side from 14
to 27.
On each plane from leftmost to rightmost, every two even- and odd-numbered
neighboring slots have an active/standby relationship. For example, slots 0 and 1 are
active/standby slots. The same is true for slots 2 and 3. Only the boards that work in
active/standby mode must be installed in active/standby slots.

4.2 OM Structure
Figure 4-1 shows the OM system of the BSC6810. The system consists of the Front
Administration Module (FAM), BAM, OM terminals and alarm box. These components
are described as follows:
The FAM consists of the boards in the RSS and RBSs. It is the OM object entity.
The physical entity of the BAM is the OMUa boards in the RSS. The BAM collects
and processes OM information and sends the information to LMTs and the
iManager M2000.
The LMTs are OM terminals on the BSC6810 side. The iManager M2000 is a
centralized OM system.
The alarm box provides audible and visible alarms.
iManager M2000
VLAN VLAN
FAM BAM
IP
The LMT is the OM terminal on the NE side. It can access the BAM through Virtual
Local Area Network (VLAN), an intranet, and the Internet.
The LMT is an intelligent Man Machine Language (MML) client working in Graphic
User Interface (GUI) mode. It provides the BSC6810 with OM functions.
Through an external alarm box, the LMT can report audible and visible alarms if faults
are detected.
4.3 OM Functions
The BSC6810 provides MML commands and GUIs as an interface for system
management, configuration, maintenance, alarm management, and so on. Such an
interface is explicit and easy to use. In addition, the BSC6810 can check the data
integrity for an MML command to be run.
This section describes the following OM functions:
Security Management
Configuration Management
Maintenance Management
Fault Detection
Performance Management
Alarm Management
Loading Management
Status Monitoring
Message Tracing

Software Management
Data Backup
When two OMUa boards are configured, they work in active/standby mode. The data
on the standby OMUa is synchronized with that on the active OMUa. The BSC6810
supports automatic and manual data backup. It provides a data backup and recovery
tool.
Board Maintenance
The BSC6810 supports the following board maintenance functions:
Resets on different levels, including equipment reset, subrack reset, board reset,
and subsystem reset
Query of board reset causes
Hot swap
Setting of boards to the out-of-service state for troubleshooting
Query of board status and version information
Board self-detection and board diagnosis test
Query of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) usage of a board subsystem
Forced active/standby board switchover initiated on the LMT
Panel Emulation
The emulated panel on the LMT interface can display the status of boards, Light
Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on boards, external physical ports, and DSPs.
Remote Maintenance
The BSC6810 supports remote maintenance by allowing remote access through the
Internet or Virtual Private Network (VPN).
Alarm Processing
You can browse alarm information in real time, query history alarm information, and
store alarm information. The online help provides detailed troubleshooting methods
for each alarm.
The BSC6810 can store the history alarm information generated in the past 90 days
and at most 100,000 alarms.
Alarm Masking
The BSC6810 allows you to mask derivative alarms to reduce the number of the
reported alarms.
Alarm Filtering
The BSC6810 can filter the alarms of a specific object. If an object is filtered, the
alarms of this object are not sent to the alarm management system.
Alarm Indication
When a fault alarm is generated, the BSC6810 can notify you in the following ways:
blinking of the icon, audible indication of the terminal, and audible and visible
indications on the alarm box.
IP tracing
Call Data Tracing (CDT)
CellDT message tracing
Location message tracing
The function of message tracing is integrated into the LMT, which facilitates problem
identification. The BSC6810 also provides a tool called Trace Viewer, which allows
you to view the stored messages.
Online Patching
The BSC6810 supports online patching without disrupting ongoing services.
Patches are provided in patch packages. The BSC6810 supports totally and, in some
cases, partially one-push solution to facilitate the upgrade. In addition, it supports
version rollback, which guarantees the stability of the system.
Remote Upgrade
The BSC6810 supports remote upgrade. You can upgrade it on a remote terminal. In
addition, the BSC6810 provides automatic upgrade tools, which can reduce human
interference and errors.
Remote Patching
The BSC6810 supports remote patching. You can perform the following operations on
a remote terminal:
Patching the BAM
The patches include Windows operating system patches of hotfix type and BAM
software patches.
Patching the host of the BSC6810
The patches are specific for DSPs and .bin program files.
Querying all the patches on the BSC6810 through MML commands
Online Expansion
You can expand the capacity of the BSC6810 by adding RBSs or service processing
boards. After startup, the new board can automatically load programs, obtain
intra-system connection data and configuration data, and enter the serving state.
Online Help
The BSC6810 provides the GUI-based online help.
5 Reliability
occurs to the GCUa/GCGa, cable, or SCUa. In addition, with the Y-shaped cable,
switchover between GCUa/GCGa boards does not affect the SCUa boards.
Transmission port backup
− Unchannelized optical ports support MSP 1:1 or MSP 1+1 redundancy.
− Channelized optical ports support MSP 1:1 backup.
− FE or GE ports support port backup and load sharing between the ports.
All these improve the reliability of transmission.
OM dual planes
To improve the reliability of OM channels, the BSC6810 provides the OM dual
planes, including dual OMUa boards, dual Ethernet adapters, and dual main
control boards.
Crystal Aging Compensation technology
The BSC6810 adopts the Huawei-patented Crystal Aging Compensation
technology to compensate for frequency deviation caused by the aging of
temperature-constant crystal oscillators. This technology protects the clock
precision from the influence of the aging of the crystal oscillators and ensures
long-term stability and reliability of the system clock.
Dual –48 V power supplies
The two independent –48 V power supplies operate at the same time to ensure
normal operations in case either of them fails. The failed supply can be restored
without a power cut. This improves the reliability and availability of the power
system.
When an entity fails, the isolation mechanism transfers the services to another
entity for processing. After the system finds a faulty board in the resource pool, it
isolates the board. Then another board in the resource pool will process the
subsequent services.
When a board with a single function fails, restarting the system might clear the
fault.
All boards support dual-BIOS. Faults at one BIOS do not affect startup or
operation of the boards.
The system uses the non-volatile memory to store important data.
With advanced integrated circuits, the system features high integration, good
technology, and high reliability.
All the parts of the system pass the aging test. The process of hardware
assembly is strictly controlled. These methods ensure the high stability and
reliability for long-term operation.
During the running of software, the BSC6810 monitors the internal errors of all
software and some hardware faults, if any. It then reports the errors and faults to
the OM system.
Load sharing
The FG2a and GOUa boards support inter-board load sharing between ports.
The DPUb boards work in resource pool mode. If a DPUb board is faulty, other
DPUb boards in the same subrack take over the services carried on the faulty
board.
Data check
The system is able to perform regular or event-driven check for data consistency
and export the related log records and alarms.
Dual versions
The boards of the BSC6810 have active/standby workspaces. The active
workspace stores the current version files, and the standby workspace stores the
version files except those in the active workspace.
Switchover between the active and standby workspaces can be performed to
upgrade or roll back the RNC version. Therefore, the active and standby
workspaces facilitate the upgrade of and rollback for the RNC and greatly reduce
the time of service disruption caused by the upgrade.
Data backup
The BAM data and FAM data can be backed up, so that the reliability and
consistency of the data are ensured.
Storage of operation information
The BSC6810 records the operations that you perform and saves the records in
the operation log. You can use the operation log to identify and clear errors or
faults caused by operations.
Flow control
The BSC6810 automatically controls the flows on the Iub, Iur, and Iu interfaces to
avoid overload caused by heavy traffic.
