2 Overview
2 Overview
Ater Compression Transmission is a technology in which the TransCoder Subrack (TCS) of the BSC is
located remotely and the IP over PPP over Ch-STM-1 transmission mode is used to carry signals when
the Ater interface is in TDM transmission mode. Meanwhile, the techniques such as Ater MUX, PPP
MUX, and IP header compression are used for data compression on the Ater interface to increase the
transmission efficiency on the Ater interface.
Ater Compression Transmission has the following features:
z
The remote location of the TCS can save the transmission bandwidth by 75%. After the Ater
compression transmission function is enabled, an additional 30% transmission bandwidth on the Ater
interface can be saved.
IP over PPP enables the IP packets to be transmitted over the traditional TDM network. This protects
the legacy investment of the operator who owns the TDM transmission resources.
If the Abis interface uses the IP/HDLC transmission mode, the Ater compression transmission function
does not require a coding/decoding board to convert the Transcoder & Adaptor Unit (TRAU) speech
frames to packets. This saves the cost of board configuration.

3 Technical Description
About This Chapter
The TRAU frames are used to carry speech signals in a TDM network; packet TRAU (pTRAU) frames
are used to carry signals in IP/HDLC transmission mode.
When the Ater compression transmission function is enabled, IP over PPP is used for data transmission.
The Ater compression transmission is applied only to the speech signals over the Ater interface whereas
the signaling and OM signals are still transmitted in TDM mode.
To enable the Ater compression transmission function, set Ater Interface Transfer Mode to IP.
3.1 Network Topologies

3.1.1 Network Topology in Non-TC Pool Mode
In the network topology in non-TC pool mode, the speech services between the MPS(Main Processing
Subrack)/EPS(Extended Processing Subrack) and the TCS of a BSC are carried in IP over PPP over
Ch-STM-1 mode, as shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 Network topology in non-TC pool mode
In Ater compression transmission mode, the MPS/EPS (regarded as the BSC) and TCS are adjacent
nodes to each other.
You need to configure the adjacent BSC of the TCS by setting Adjacent Node Type to BSC(Ater
Interface on BSC) and BSC ID to 0. Meanwhile, configure the adjacent TCS of the BSC by setting
Adjacent Node Type to TC(Ater Interface on TC).
3.1.2 Network Topology in TC Pool Mode

Figure 3-2 shows the network topology in TC pool mode when the user plane on the Ater interface is in
IP over PPP mode.

Issue 02 (2009-09-30)
BSS
In the network topology in TC pool mode, the MPS/EPS (regarded as the BSC) and TCS that support
Ater compression transmission are adjacent nodes.
You need to configure all the BSCs in the TC pool as the adjacent nodes of the TCS by setting Adjacent
Node Type of each BSC to BSC(Ater Interface on BSC) and setting BSC ID of the primary BSC to 0
and BSC ID of every secondary BSC to a non-zero value. Meanwhile, configure the adjacent TCS of
each BSC by setting Adjacent Node Type to TC(Ater Interface on TC).
3.2 Technologies in Ater Compression Transmission

3.2.1 Speech Frame Processing
The timeslots on the Ater interface consist of timeslots for the Ater signaling link, timeslots for the Ater
OML, timeslots for the Ater speech service, and timeslots for the A SS7 signaling link. On the Ater
interface, the IP over PPP mode is used to carry speech signals whereas the TDM mode is retained to
carry signaling and OM signals. Figure 3-4 shows the timeslots on the Ater interface.
Figure 3-4 Timeslots on the Ater interface
In Ater compression transmission mode, the speech signals can be processed in the following ways:
z
Direct transmission of pTRAU frames from the Abis interface board to the Ater interface board
When the Abis interface uses the HDLC or IP transmission mode, the pTRAU frames are directly sent
from the Abis interface board to the Ater interface board without further processing of the DPUc board.
This reduces the delay of frame processing. Figure 3-5 shows the signal flow.

BSS
Figure 3-5 Signal flow in the MPS/EPS (Abis over HDLC/IP)
Frame format conversion between the Abis interface board and the Ater interface board
When the Abis interface uses the TDM transmission mode, the DPUc board in the MPS/EPS
processes the TRAU frames on the Abis interface and the pTRAU frames on the Ater interface. In
addition, the DPUc board can eliminate the jitter and delay in packet arrival when IP/HDLC
transmission is used on the Ater interface. Figure 3-6 shows the signal flow.
Figure 3-6 Signal flow in the MPS/EPS (Abis over TDM)
Frame format conversion between the Ater interface board and the A interface board
In Ater compression transmission mode, the Ater interface board sends the pTRAU frames to the
DPUc board for converting the pTRAU frames to PCM frames used on the A interface. In addition, the
DPUc board can eliminate the jitter and delay in packet arrival when IP/HDLC transmission is used on
the Ater interface, support the downlink DTX function, and compress the silence frames. This
improves the transmission efficiency on the Ater interface. Figure 3-7 shows the signal flow.

3.2.2 Packet Multiplexing

In Ater compression transmission mode, the POUc board works as the Ater interface board in the
MPS/EPS/TCS and supports the following packet multiplexing functions:
z
Ater multiplexing
The speech signals on the Ater interface are encapsulated in the same format of pTRAU frames used
on the Abis interface. Multiple pTRAU frames are multiplexed into a UDP packet through the Frame
Protocol (FP) multiplexing technology, thus improving the transmission efficiency.
IP header compression
The UDP/IP header can be compressed to decrease the packet header overhead, reduce the packet
loss, and shorten the period of packet response.
PPP multiplexing
Multiple pTRAU frames are multiplexed into a PPP packet to decrease the packet header overhead
and thus improve the transmission efficiency.
Packet multiplexing can greatly improve the transmission efficiency in Ater compression transmission
mode when the timeslot resources are limited.
For details of packet multiplexing, see IP Transport Architecture Description.
3.2.3 Reliability
Ater Compression Transmission can improve transmission resource utilization; however, due to the
inherent characteristics of IP transmission, more bit errors, jitter, and delay are generated. In addition, IP
transmission has more protocol layers than TDM transmission, thus higher reliability is required.
Ater Compression Transmission provides high reliability at the physical layer and the data link layer.
z
At the physical layer, the active/standby switchover is performed without disrupting services in the
case of board fault or optical port fault.
At the data link layer, the MLPPP (Multilink PPP) group is configured to achieve PPP link redundancy.
In the case of TC fault, the TC pool function can be enabled.

4 Engineering Guidelines
z
If the core network supports IP transmission, the A over IP mode is recommended.
If the core network does not support IP transmission and the Abis interface uses IP/HDLC
transmission, then the use of IP transmission on the Ater interface can save the cost of board
configuration and Ater transmission resources. Hardware upgrade is required to implement IP
transmission on the Ater interface.
If the Abis interface uses TDM transmission but the Ater interface uses IP transmission, the
configuration cost is increased and the speech quality is degraded. In this case, Ater Compression
Transmission is not recommended.
When the Ater interface uses IP transmission, the Abis and Ater interfaces can be configured with the
same type of interface board to save transmission resources.
