mode. ‎Figure 1-3 shows the distributed structure of the HSS9860.

Figure 1-3 Distributed structure of the HSS9860

DRU: data routing unit DSU: data service unit


BSG: broadband signaling gateway CCU: call control unit
HSF: HSS signaling function SPU: service processing unit

The distributed structure has the following advantages:


 High reliability
If a functional entity is faulty, the load is automatically distributed to other functional
entities, thereby ensuring uninterrupted service processing.
 Smooth expansion
System capacity can be expanded by adding functional entities. After the system detects
that newly added entities are running stably, the system distributes the load among the

Issue V1.1 (2013-12-19) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 5

HUAWEI HSS9860 Home Subscriber Server
Product Description ‎1 Overview

entities that provide identical functions to achieve load balancing. The capacity
expansion does not affect the service processing of the HSS9860.

1.2.3 Advanced Hardware Platform


The HSS9860 uses the OSTA 2.0 hardware platform. This platform is compatible with the
Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (ATCA). The ATCA standards are composed of a
series of peripheral component interconnect (PCI) Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group
(PICMG3.X) specifications and are widely accepted as the standard for the next-generation
standard telecommunication hardware platforms.
The OSTA 2.0 platform uses the Intel Architecture (IA), which allows for the use of
high-performance and high-efficiency processors, and Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) technology.
It is a highly competitive carrier-class platform.
In addition to complying with the ATCA standards, the OSTA 2.0 platform has the following
advantages:
 The equipment and monitoring system comply with carrier-class application designs.
 The service plane, control plane, and management plane are physically separate. The
lower-layer hardware planes are not adversely affected by abnormalities on other planes.
If the hardware needs to be upgraded, the existing software can be used without any
modification. This greatly improves system reliability.
 The components used in the OSTA 2.0 platform are ETSI/NEBS compliant and can be
selected for carrier-class equipment.
 The system enhances the monitoring on system operations, hardware components, and
external interfaces. It uses a fault diagnosis mechanism and provides pre-alerts when a
component is in a border line state between normal operation and a fault.
 The OSTA 2.0 platform meets the sound and heat dissipation requirements for
telecommunications equipment.
 The OSTA 2.0 platform uses fault detection and fault isolation technologies. Detected
faults are isolated so as not to adversely affect other parts of the system.
 The OSTA 2.0 platform features an optimized fault location design, which allows
accurate identification of faulty components.

1.2.4 In-Memory Data Management


All subscriber data is managed in the board memory. The front end (FE) reads subscriber data
from the board memory when it processes service requests. The FE does not read subscriber
data from the external storage device. The external storage device, such as a disk array, is only
used to permanently store subscriber data.
In-memory data management has the following advantages:
 Allows service processing to be independent of the external data storage device. If the
external data storage device fails, service processing is not adversely affected.
 Features higher throughput and a shorter latency. It greatly enhances system performance,
especially for large-capacity systems.

1.2.5 Multi-Level Data Backup Mechanism


The HSS9860 uses a multi-level data backup mechanism. This mechanism enables the system
to store subscriber data on different storage devices, thereby ensuring data security. ‎Figure 1-4
shows the multi-level data backup mechanism.

Issue V1.1 (2013-12-19) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 6


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
HUAWEI HSS9860 Home Subscriber Server
Product Description ‎1 Overview

Figure 1-4 Multi-level data backup mechanism

The multi-level data backup mechanism involves the following:


 Level-1 backup
Backing up data in a master node to the slave node in the same cluster. Subscriber data is
stored in the memory of different boards. Each cluster is distributed on two boards and
comprised with master and slave nodes. The master node provides services; the slave
node serves as the backup for the master node. The master node synchronizes data to the
slave node in real time.
 Level-2 backup
Backing up in-memory database data to the hard disk on an in-memory database board.
Subscriber data stored in the board memory is backed up to two local hard disks on the
board, which work in RAID 1 mode.
 Level-3 backup
Backing up in-memory database data to the physical database. Subscriber data stored in
the board memory is backed up to the local hard disk on a physical database board or to
the disk array.
− If a disk array is not configured, subscriber data is backed up to the local hard disk on
a physical database board in RAID 1 mode.
− If a disk array is configured, subscriber data is backed up to the disk array in RAID
10 and hot spare disk modes.

1.2.6 Virtual HSS Function


The virtual HSS function allows a physical HSS to be divided into several logical HSSs. Each
logical HSS is equivalent to the HSS in the local network. ‎Figure 1-5 illustrates the virtual
HSS function.

Issue V1.1 (2013-12-19) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 7

HUAWEI HSS9860 Home Subscriber Server
Product Description ‎1 Overview

Figure 1-5 Virtual HSS function

The virtual HSS function enables the local networks in different areas to share the same
physical HSS. It achieves centralized equipment maintenance, and distributed service
processing and subscriber data management. The virtual HSS function allows authority-based
and domain-based management and helps carriers to provide differentiated services. It
facilitates carriers to carry out network planning and equipment maintenance.
The virtual HSS function can greatly reduce the number of NEs used in the network, reduce
the equipment investment, and cut down the investment and expenses arising from system
upgrade and maintenance.

1.2.7 Large Capacity and High Integration


Using high-performance ATCA board servers, the HSS9860 has large capacity and high
integration. With fully populated, the GU HLR supports a maximum of 60 million dynamic
2G/3G subscribers and 100 million static 2G/3G subscribers.
The large-capacity HSS9860 helps carriers to minimize the operating expense (OPEX) by:
 Reducing the equipment maintenance and manpower costs
 Simplifying the network by reducing the number of network elements
 Reducing power consumption and rental space required

1.2.8 Seamless Geographic Redundancy


The HSS9860s can be deployed in different places. Data synchronization between the
HSS9860s in different places is implemented using real-time data duplication and periodic
data consistency checks.
Seamless geographic redundancy has the following advantages:
 Isolates faults immediately, thereby improving network security.
 Reduces infrastructure construction costs by using mature IT and IP technologies.

Product Description ‎1 Overview

The BEs in a service partition store subscriber data by IMSI segment, and the FEs query
their local BEs.
 Routing partition
The BEs in the routing partition store the mappings between subscriber identities and
service partitions. Generally, the routing partition is integrated with a service partition.
Cloud deployment has the following advantages:
 Improves subscriber data storage and service processing capability.
 Enables the routing partition to provide unified service provisioning and therefore
improves subscriber data management efficiency.
 Increases network reliability by using seamless geographic redundancy networking for
each partition.

1.2.10 VoLTE Solution

In the VoLTE solution, the HSS9860 stores data of voice services, short message services, and
intelligent services for VoLTE subscribers. It also manages the subscription data and location
data of VoLTE subscribers. The HSS9860 implements the following functions:
 Supports the enhanced Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (eSRVCC) function.
The eSRVCC function enables subscribers to continue calls when they switch from the
LTE network to the 2G/3G network. To implement this function, the HSS9860 stores the
session transfer number for SRVCC (STN-SR) data and responds to queries for the data.
 Optimizes anchoring procedures.
To redirect subscribers to the IMS network to use convergent multimedia services, calls
of these subscribers are routed to the IMS network by means of anchoring. The HSS9860
optimizes the anchoring procedures to shorten the call connection time. The optimization
varies according to the networks the subscribers currently connect to.
 Supports IP short message service.

Issue V1.1 (2013-12-19) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 12


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
HUAWEI HSS9860 Home Subscriber Server
Product Description ‎1 Overview

The IP short message service enables subscribers to send and receive short messages in
the IMS network after they connect to the IMS network using IP. To implement the IP
short message service, the HSS9860 uses the short message rerouting function to enable
short messages to be routed to the IP-SM-GW, which then sends the short messages to
user equipment (UEs) in the IMS network.
 Supports service consistency between CS and VoLTE.
Service consistency between CS and VoLTE allows subscribers to have the same service
experience in CS and VoLTE networks.
In CS networks, subscribers' service data is stored in the HLR. In VoLTE networks,
subscribers' service data is stored in the IMS-HSS. Huawei HSS9860 can provide data
services in 2G, 3G, LTE, and IMS networks. ‎Figure 1-8 shows the networking to
implement service consistency between CS and VoLTE.

Figure 1-8 Networking to implement service consistency between CS and VoLTE

1.2.11 Auto Provision of LTE Service


Application Scenario
After deploying LTE networks, carriers have to address the following problems when they
develop LTE subscribers:
1. Subscribers have to register LTE services to the business hall. To provide LTE services
for subscribers, carriers require a large number of IT reconstructions, which increases
costs and takes long time to market.
2. After subscribers buy LTE terminals, the subscribers cannot differentiate 2G, 3G, and
LTE services and do not register LTE services. These subscribers use 2G and 3G
services using LTE terminals.
To address these problems, the HSS9860 provides the Auto Provision of LTE Service feature.
When an LTE terminal attempts to attach LTE networks, the HSS9860 generates an LTE
service profile for the subscriber based on the subscriber's 3G service profile if the subscriber
has not been provided with LTE services. ‎Figure 1-9 shows an application of the Auto
Provision of LTE Service feature.

Product Description ‎1 Overview

Figure 1-10 Procedure of the Auto Provision of LTE Service feature

1. When an LTE terminal attempts to attach the LTE network, the terminal sends a
registration request message to the SAE-HSS FE.
2. The SAE-HSS FE queries the USCDB to check that the subscriber has not been defined
in the LTE network.
3. The USCDB generates an LTE service profile to provide LTE services for the subscriber
based on the subscriber's 3G service profile.
4. The USCDB synchronizes the subscriber's LTE service profile to the service
provisioning system.
5. The service provisioning system synchronizes the subscriber's LTE service profile and
sends a short message to notify the subscriber of LTE service provisioning.

To implement this feature, the service provisioning system must be able to:

 Provides unified service provisioning for different FEs.
 Provides high-speed MML and SOAP interfaces.
 Allows access from PGW Web LMTs.
 Supports authentication and authority verification on the users of the provisioning
system and the PGW Web LMTs.
 Implements subscriber data management.

2.2.3 Data Service Subsystem


The data service subsystem consists of the following components:
 Data routing unit (DRU)
Subscriber data is distributed among multiple data service unit (DSU) clusters. Based on
the subscriber identity, the DRU identifies the DSU cluster in which the required
subscriber data is stored. The DRU selects a master DSU node to add, delete, and modify
the data and selects a DSU node to query the data based on the load balancing strategy.
 DSU
The DSU consists of multiple DSU clusters.
The DSU adds, deletes, updates, and queries data, processes data requests, and returns
processing results.

2.2.4 Data Storage Subsystem


The data storage subsystem is implemented by a database platform that uses board hard disks
or a disk array as the storage medium. It provides permanent storage of subscriber data and
implements the level-3 data backup and restoration function. The data storage subsystem is
only for permanent data storage and is independent of service processing.

2.2.5 O&M Subsystem

Product Description ‎3 Operation and Maintenance

Figure 3-1 O&M subsystem

The O&M subsystem works in client/server mode.


 The OMU functions as a server.
It is connected to service boards and external networks through the Ethernet.
 LMTs function as clients.
LMTs can be configured as various functional workstations, such as maintenance
consoles, data management consoles, alarm consoles, and performance measurement
consoles.
As the core of the O&M subsystem, the OMU provides a channel for communication between
the LMTs and the network elements (NEs). It forwards the O&M commands received from
the LMTs to the Unified Subscriber Center Database (USCDB) and the front ends (FEs), and
returns the responses to the LMTs.
As the client defined by TCP/IP, the LMT communicates with the OMU by using Telnet, FTP,
MML commands, GUI, or WebUI. The LMT allows users to perform data configuration,
routine operations, and maintenance.
The LMT allows users to perform operation and maintenance activities by using remote
maintenance interfaces.
Huawei iManager M2000 (M2000) is an integrated management system for the mobile
network. It implements centralized management of the NEs on the network. The M2000
consists of a server and multiple clients. It communicates with the NEs over TCP/IP.

Product Description ‎5 Reliability

5 Reliability

5.1 Hardware Reliability


Redundancy and Backup Design
The HSS9860 adopts a redundancy and backup design to ensure system reliability. When a
component is faulty, the redundancy component automatically takes over services from the
faulty component, thereby ensuring uninterrupted service processing.

Reliable Power Supply


The HSS9860 uses the following technologies to ensure high reliability of the power supply
system:
 The power modules use a distributed structure. When a power module is faulty, the load
is automatically distributed to other power modules, thereby ensuring uninterrupted
power supply.
 The input voltage is monitored, and an alarm is generated if the input voltage is outside
the normal range.
 The power supply system is protected against sharp voltage fluctuation and lightning.
 The boards are protected against over-voltage, over-current, and reverse-polarity
connection.

Distributed Structure of Boards


The boards of the HSS9860 work in active/standby mode or load-sharing mode. When a
board is faulty, the other board automatically takes over services from the faulty board,
thereby ensuring uninterrupted service processing.

IP-based Dual-Plane Communication


The HSS9860 is configured with two SWUs. Each SWU is connected to service processing
boards in star mode. With the help of the dual-star structure, service processing will not be
adversely affected by single-point failures. The HSS9860 uses two planes, one for service
data exchange and the other for signaling exchange. The two planes are independent of each
other, improving the system reliability.

HUAWEI HSS9860 Home Subscriber Server
Product Description ‎5 Reliability

5.2 Software Reliability


Distributed Structure of Software Modules
The software modules of the HSS9860 use a distributed structure. Therefore, a single-point
failure does not adversely affect service processing. This improves the system reliability.

Flow Control
The HSS9860 uses the flow control mechanism. When a congestion occurs, the HSS9860
discards low-priority messages, ensuring service processing for most subscribers.
The flow control mechanism involves the following:
 Monitors and analyzes the processor load and resource utilization in real time to
implement adaptive flow control.
 Enables high-speed processing of the commands sent from the provisioning system.
When the traffic exceeds the maximum processing capability of the system, flow control
is started to ensure system security.
 Provides configurable flow control parameters to implement forced flow control.

Automatic Load Balancing


The HSS9860 uses software technologies to implement automatic load balancing among the
same type of boards. This improves system stability and reliability.

Automatic Fault Detection and Self-Healing


The HSS9860 takes the following real-time fault monitoring and self-healing measures:
 Automatic detection of hardware and software faults
 Automatic running of troubleshooting programs to rectify faults in key hardware or
software components
 Automatic switchover of services to the standby component if a fault cannot be rectified

Rollback upon Upgrade Failure


The HSS9860 provides the rollback function, which allows the subscriber data and system
version to be restored to the pre-upgrade state when an upgrade fails. This function minimizes
the adverse impact caused by upgrade failures.

In-Memory Data Management


The HSS9860 stores all subscriber data in the memory. The hard disks provide only
permanent storage of the subscriber data. Therefore, service processing is independent of the
external storage device. The boards can process services normally even if the external storage
device is faulty.

Distributed Storage of Subscriber Data


The HSS9860 distributes subscriber data in data service unit (DSU) clusters working in
load-sharing mode. All the DSU nodes in a DSU cluster store the same subscriber data and

Issue V1.1 (2013-12-19) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 46


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
HUAWEI HSS9860 Home Subscriber Server
Product Description ‎5 Reliability

work in load-sharing mode. If a DSU board is faulty, the subscriber data will not be lost and
the system can continue providing services.

Backup and Restoration of Subscriber Data


The HSS9860 stores subscriber data in different physical devices, thereby ensuring the
security of subscriber data. The multi-level data backup involves the following:
 The subscriber data is stored in the memory of different boards, which form clusters.
Each cluster has master and slave nodes. The master node synchronizes data to the slave
node on a real-time basis.
 The subscriber data stored in the board memory is backed up to the local hard disks of
the board.
 The subscriber data stored in the board memory is backed up to the disk array.
Accordingly, there are three ways to restore data:
 Restoring data from the master node in the same cluster
 Restoring data from the local hard disk
 Restoring data from the disk array

Data Consistency Check


The HSS9860 checks data consistency between:
 Master and slave nodes of a HSS9860
 In-memory database and physical database of a HSS9860
 Active and redundancy HSS9860s (only with the geographic redundancy solution)
