iii. Short Message Service, Chinese SMS supported

iv. GPRS At present, main services available are point to point interactive telecommunication services, such as access database, session service, Tele-action service and so on. v. EDGE Service
Supports channel management, including ground channel management, service channel management and control channel management.
Ground channel management It includes the ground channel management between MSC and BSC, the ground channel management between BSC and BTS and the channel management between BSC and SGSN.
Service channel management includes channel allocation, link monitoring, channel release, and function control determination. Available channels: FCCH, SCH, BCCH, PCH, AGCH, RACH, SDCCH, SACCH, FACCH, PACCH, PAGCH, PBCCH, PCCCH, PPCH, PRACH, and PTCCH.

Supports frequency hopping Supports DTX and VAD Supports various handover types
Supports synchronous handover, non-synchronous handover and pseudo-synchronous handover. Supports the handover intra 900 MHZ frequency band, 1800 MHZ frequency band and between 900 MHZ and 1800 MHZ frequency band. Handles handover measurement and switch over. Supports the handover originated by network since service or interference management. Supports the handover between different voice coding rate. the channels with

Supports the handover when using DTX. Supports the handover caused by traffic. Supports the concentric ring handover based on carrierto-interference ratio.
Supports 6-level static power control and 15-level dynamic power control of MS and BTS. Supports fast power control based on reception quality. Supports overload and flow control iBSC is able to locate and analyze the overload, and send the cause to the background. If the traffic is too heavy, control the flow at A interface, Abis interface, and/or Gb interface to reduce the flow and guarantee maximum network utilization.

Supports call-reestablishment when radio link is faulty iBSC supports call queuing and forced call release during assignment and handover. High end user preferential access High end user preferential access, also called high priority user preferential access or EMLPP. It is used to divide the users into different priorities, and allocate the channel resource to the users according to the priority. The higher the priority of the user is, the easier to access the network.
Supports Co-BCCH. Co-BCCH is usually used in dual-frequency common cell. Dual-frequency common cell is a cell that supports the carriers of two frequency bands, and the carriers of different carrier bands share one BCCH. Co-BCCH networking has the following advantages:

Save one BCCH time slot Configure the 1800 MHz carrier directly in 900 MHz cell. There is no need to change the original cell adjacent
relation, re-arrange network, and no need to consider the reselection and handover between the dual-frequency cell with common site.
Supports dynamic HR channel conversion ZXG10 iBSC supports dynamic HR channel conversion. System is able to adjust HR/FR channel dynamically according to the traffic, and realize the conversion between HR/FR channels automatically.
Supports flow control Flow control is a method to protect the system. It controls the overload by limiting some services to ensure that the system runs normally.
Supports dynamic radio channel allocation ZXG10 iBSC supports the dynamic allocation of CS and PS channels. In dynamic radio channel allocation, the logic type of radio channel is generated according to the current call type rather than configured at background NM. The advantage of dynamic radio channel is that it uses the radio resource the best according to the service type. ZXG10 iBSC allocates the channel according to various factors, such as channel rate selection, carrier priority, interference band, the channel allocation in intra-cell handover, allocation of reservation channel, and the selection of sub-cell channel.
Supports voice version selection ZXG10 iBSC provides the function of setting prior voice version; one prior voice version can be set for full rate and half rate channel. Full rate voice version is one of version I (FR), version II (EFR) and version III (AMR); half rate voice rate voice version is one of version I (HR) and version III (AMR).
Supports 3 digits network number ZXG10 iBSC supports 3 digits network number. The current network number can be set as 2 or 3 digits. It interprets the MNC in the received signaling message at A interface and Gb interface, confirms the MNC format in the transmitted signaling, and confirms the MNC format in the broadcast message at Um interface according to the network number.
Supports the handover between 2G/3G system

Support handover from 3G to 2G in CS service Support handover from 2G to 3G in CS service
Supports full dynamic Abis Full dynamic Abis is that the corresponding relation of radio channel and Abis transmission channel is not generated in OMC, but is configured dynamically in service process.
Dynamic Abis is to provide more bandwidth in case the Abis transmission bandwidth is fixed.
Supports coding control Compared with GPRS, the measurement report of EDGE is improved a lot. The EDGE measurement is based on each pulse, which means the measurement is performed by the granularity of Burst. The fast measurement of EDGE makes the network is able to respond the change of the radio environment rapidly so that it can select the most proper coding mode and carry out power control. In downlink direction, iBSC supports selecting the coding mode by time slot and by TBF. In uplink direction, iBSC selects the uplink TBF coding mode according to the measurement parameters of the uplink channel reported by BTS.
Supports retransmission In packet service, the negative feedback is employed to control the retransmission, which means that the transmitter finds out the packets that are not received correctly by the receiver according to the bitmap fed back from the receiver, then determines if to retransmit the corresponding packet. In GPRS, the packet data is retransmitted in original transmission coding mode, for example, the block transmitted in CS4 coding is retransmitted in CS4 mode. In EDGE, there are two new retransmission methods: segmentation and reassembly, and incremental redundancy.
Optimization of packet channel allocation algorithm ZXG10 iBSC supports the multiple time slot ability of the MS. It allocates GPRS TBF or EDGE TBF to the MS according to the different GPRS/EDGE availability of MS. When ZXG10 iBSC allocates the PDTCH channel to the MS, it selects the carrier with lower load first; after selecting the carrier, it selects the most proper PDTCH channel combination in the carrier according to the MS requirement.
Supports satellite Abis and satellite Gb There is a bi-directional time delay about 540 ms, which impacts the GRPS and EDGE services a lot. ZXB10 iBSC eliminates this impact as much as possible and ensures that the GPRS and EDGE services run normally.
Supports various interfaces ZXG10 iBSC supports STM-1 interface, Fast Ethernet (FE) interface, and E1 interface.

GSM RF The physical layer of Um interface is the RF interface part. The RF part employs the same transmission mode as GSM circuit service, specifying carrier characteristics, channel structure, modulization mode and RF index and so on.
RLC/MAC Layer
RLC is the radio link control protocol of the air interface between BTS and MS. The main functions are error detection of data block, retransmission selection and confirmation of error data block at Um interface and so on.
34
MAC controls the access signaling flow on radio channel. It makes decision when a great deal of MSs access the common media, and also it maps the LLC to the GSM physical channel. Compared with the MAC function in A/Gb mode, the MAC of GERAN has the following important differences:

Supports one MAC entity with many TBF Support MAC layer encryption
LLC Layer
LLC is a radio link protocol based on HDLC, which can provide highly reliable encrypted logical link. LLC layer generates LLC address and frame filed from the SDDC data unit of upper layer SNDC layer for generating complete LLC frame. In addition, LLC can realize the one to many addressing and the retransmission control of data frame. LLC is independent from the bottom layer radio interface protocol for the least modification of NSS when introducing the other optional GPRS radio resolution. GSM04.64 standardizes LLC. As the transition between network layer and data link layer, the main function of SNCDP is to packet the transmitted data and sent it to the LLC layer for transmission to find out the TCP/IP address and encryption method. In SNDC layer, the transmitted data between MS and SGSN is divided into one or more SNDC data packet units. SNDC data packet unit is put into LLC frame after being generated.
SNDCP
Relay Layer1 Network Service BSSGP
Relay forwards the LLC PDU between Um and Gb interface. Physical and Transmission Layer employs 2 Mbps E1 cable or cat-5 network cable. Network service is based on frame relay, and it is used to transmit the upper layer BSSGP PDU. In transmission platform, this protocol provides connectionless link to transmit data without confirmation between BSS and SGSN. It is the internet protocol defined in RFC 791, which is used for routing user data and control signaling. When it employs FE for transmission between iBSC and SGSN, the data link layer at Gb interface uses IP protocol. Frame relay provides permanent virtual circuit, which transmits the user data and signaling at Gb data. When it employs E1 for transmission between iBSC and SGSN, the data link layer at Gb interface uses FR protocol.

There are interfaces on iBSC for OMC, BTS, MSC and SGSN. ZXG10 iBSC provides various networking modes at each interface. In actual practice, select the networking mode according to the environment flexibly. The following topics describes various networking modes supported by ZXG10 iBSC according to the four interfaces respectively.
Abis Interface Networking Modes

ZXG10 iBSC (V6.00) supports all series of ZXG10-BTS models and can configure corresponding BTS networking modes including star, chain, tree, and ring types. In practice, these modes are used in combination to achieve the best priceperformance ratio.

A chain network uses less transmission equipment as the sites are connected using the by-pass or straight through function. If a shallow depth BTS encounters any broken link, the cascaded BTS with deeper depth can be directly connected without affecting normal operation. This mode is applicable in regions with strip-shaped population distribution. Tree Networking The configuration of tree networking is shown in Figure 23.

Gb Interface Networking Modes

E1 and Fast Ethernet based frame relay protocol is used to implement Gb interface function between ZXG10 iBSC (V6.00) and SGSN. The Gb interface networking mode includes crossover and BSC cascade modes. Figure 27 shows the Gb interface crossover and BSC cascade networking modes.
FIGURE 27 ZXG10-IBSC (V 1.0) GB INTERFACE SYSTEM NETWORKING
Multiple iBSCs can be cascaded and then connected to SGSN to save Gb interface line resources if bandwidth permits. The iBSC cascade mode is very convenient. For example, iBSC1 is directly connected to SGSN. iBSC2 can be directly connected to the other PCM ports of DTB via E1. A transparent transmission from iBSC2 to SGSN can be implemented via configuration, saving resource with no need for an E1 between iBSC2 and SGSN.

Operation and Maintenance System Networking

ZXG10 iBSC (V6.00) supports two types of maintenance: 1. Local maintenance 2. Remote maintenance Local Maintenance Local maintenance implies that BSC and OMCR are interconnected via LAN. The simplest and most common mode is the local maintenance mode. In this mode, the iBSC and OMCR are located on the same LAN and connected via Ethernet. The OMCR server is directly connected to the BSCs that it manages via LAN. The BSCs managed by OMCR need to be physically present in the same location. Figure 28 shows local maintenance networking.

Remote Maintenance
Remote maintenance implies that BSC and OMCR are connected via PCM, X.25, Defense Data Network (DDN) or other modes. In the PCM networking mode for remote maintenance, the 2 Mbps PCM link available between MSC and the BSC or other dedicated PCM links, can be used to transmit NM information. In this mode, the timeslot in PCM link is borrowed to transmit OMCR information at a rate of n x 64 kbps (n is the number of occupied timeslots). PCM equipment is used to extract a certain number of timeslots from the PCM links that are then used by the OMCR. This approach is economical, practical, and fully utilizes available resources. Figure 29 shows the PCM networking mode for remote maintenance.

iOMCR-R Server
The router + baseband Modem scheme is applied to X.25 and DDN networking for remote maintenance. This implies that MP at the BSC end is accessed via an Ethernet interface to the router that is connected with leased line via the baseband modem. At OMCR, leased line is accessed via an Ethernet interface with the same method. Figure 30 and Figure 31 show the X.25 and DDN leased line remote networking schemes respectively.
