2 FEATURE INFORMATION

2.1 Feature Overview

The limited stock of IPC product is planed to be exhausted before the market demand for IuoATM
is finished. Therefore a replacement solution has to be developed. The feature deals with
integrating most of the current IPC functionalities in the BSR-GW product. ATM over PDH
interface will nevertheless not be supported on the BSR-GW; the 7750 SR-7 of the small cell GW
will be used for that purposed.

Consequently the feature also contains the validation, including O&M aspects, of an IPC
replacement solution relying on both BSR-GW and 7750 SR-7 products. This feature do not
include the capability for a customer to use his/her own router for ATM connectivity. The SR must
be used.

2.2 Feature Description

2.3 Feature Value and Benefits

This feature will able to address markets where IuoATM is still required after current IPC product
stock exhaustion (currently planed mid 2012).

The feature will remove the risks associated with the refurbishing process (obsolescence of
components, lack of support on HW etc)

This solution based on integration of IPC functions in the BSR-GW and 7750 SR will reduce the
footprint of the cluster.

2.4 Market Information

2.4.1 Applicable Market

Any network with IuoATM interface.

IPC market evolution:

 NAR: no more need (IuoIP already implemented)

 EMEA: in recent offers mix of customers needing or not IPC

o Need it: Ericom, Jersey telecom, H3G)

o Don’t need it: Etisalat, due, Mobilty

o VF: also mix situation

 Need it: UK, Qatar, Italy

 Don’t need it: Iranland, Portugal, Hungary, New Zealand

 APAC

o China Unicom, Taiwan has not plan to migrate (might sill need IPC in 2 Y time frame)

o Optus has solid plan

2.4.2 Technology

3G small cell

3 DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Development Requirements

Require-
General Requirements
ment #
The current IPC telecom functions shall be fully supported by the ATCA based BSR-GW together
R1 with the 7750-SR of the small cell gateway cluster,. with the exception of redundancy aspects which
are treated in separated requirements
The solution shall accommodate Iuflex at the same functional level, in particular, each Iu interface
R2
instance shall be selectable to be either IP or ATM
Each single cluster of an ATCA configuration can be independently configured with or without the
R3 IPC function activated. The 7750 SR shall be able to support, at the same time, cluster with and
without the IPC function activated
The physical & logical interfaces exposed to IuoATM CN nodes shall remained unchanged with the
R4
replacement solution
The redundancy scheme of the replacement IPC solution shall be such that the failover duration of
R5
the BSR-GW or of the 7750 shall be similar with and without IPC function activated

GICC (network interface board) on the IPC supports 1+1 active hot standby redundancy at port
R6 level with APS/MSP 1+1 protection. The 7750 shall support equivalent level of link redundancy for
ATM/SDH ports.
The redundancy scheme of the replacement IPC solution shall be such that the outage of the
R7 service, from end user perspective, upon failure of BSR-GW or 7750, is similar with and without
IPC function activated

3.2 Performance / Capacity / Reliability Requirements

Require-
Performance / Capacity / Reliability Requirements
ment #
R8 The BCR 3.0 capacity of the BSR-GW shall be sustained when the IPC function is activated
The capacity of the IPC function shall be such that it covers the need of the BSR-GW product
supporting this IPC function
R9
For instance, let’s consider a 6 cluster ATCA shelf with a 7750 SR-7. The IPC function supported by
this hardware shall provide the IPC capacity for 6 clusters
The IPC function shall scale the same way than the gateway function. Despite the design is let
R10
implementation, it is expected that each ATCA bono blade supports both GW and IPC functions
In BCR 4.0, the ATCA BSR-GW shall also be able to interwork with a “legacy IPC”, (i.e an external
R11 IPC on cPSB HW). Whether the BSR-GW uses the internal or external IPC function (or no IPC
function at all) shall be configurable at the cluster level.

3.3 Operation, Administration and Management
