1 Overview
1.1 Background
1.1.1 3G System Overview

With the fast growth of wireless services and the rapid expansion of Internet services,
the wireless communication system has to meet increasing demands for system
capacity, data transmission rate and strong support for diverse services. The 3G mobile
communication system (IMT2000) draws the attention of the whole industry. The major
feature of 3G mobile communication system is the support of broadband service,
especially the multimedia data service efficiently using frequency spectrum. The 3G
system is designed to provide a larger system capacity and better communication quality
than 2G systems, implement seamless roaming around the world, and provide
subscribers with multiple services.
Mainstream technical standards for the 3G are CDMA2000, WCDMA and TD-SCDMA.
The CDMA2000 adopts the spread spectrum rate of 1 × 1.2288Mcps. A single carrier
occupies 1.25 MHz bandwidth. It adopts DS spread spectrum technology. The
CDMA2000 system is also called CDMA2000 1X. In addition, the 1xEV-DO Rev A,
which serves as an enhanced standard supplemental to IS2000, supports data
transmission up to 3.1Mbps in a bandwidth of 1.25 MHz. For the 1xEV-DO Rev B, which
will take place in the future, the spread spectrum rate is 3×/7×/15× 1.2288Mcps,
respectively occupies 5/10/20 MHz bandwidth. It adopts multi-carrier modulation
technology.
1.1.2 Overview of the CDMA2000 All-IP Network

The evolution from traditional networks to All-IP networks helps network builders and
operators offer more flexible service platform functions at lower costs. All-IP networks,
when integrated with 3G wireless access technologies, enable provisioning of
multimedia services over IP (including VoIP), giving network builders and operators
competitive edge.
The overall structure of the CDMA2000 All-IP network consists of the radio access
network and the core network. The evolution of the core network is independent from
that of the radio access network.
The CDMA2000 network evolves to All-IP network in several phases: Phase-0, Phase-1,
Phase-2 and Phase-3.
1 Phase-0 is a traditional network based on circuit switching. The access network is

based on IOS 4.x, the air interface is based on cdma2000 and the core network is
based on TIA/EIA-41.
2 Since Phase-1, the core network separates from the access network, forming
independent signaling layer and bearer layer. The access network signaling is
transmitted over IP.

3 Phase-2 corresponds to the LMSD (Legacy MS Domain) phase, which requires the
IP network to support traditional terminal services and provide new service functions
(such as TrFO/RTO) for users using new terminals.
4 Phase-3 corresponds to the MMD phase, and is the end point of the evolution to All-
IP. In this phase, the air interface based on IP is implemented and finally IP-based
transmission is realized throughout the network.
Such a way of phased and independent evolution offers flexibility to operators, and
better supports the network transition policy of the traditional telecom operators.
1.1.3 Introduction to the ZXC10 BSSB

It is foreseeable that the multimedia information such as voice, data and video will be
integrated into the IP network architecture, as are a consensus of the industry and a
mega-trend of the telecommunication network. In response to the technical development
trend, the ZXC10 BSSB has been developed on the basis of the IP platform. The ZXC10
BSSB consists of the ZXC10 BSCB and a series of BTSs. The ZXC10 BSSB features
advanced and future-proof technology, high integration, large capacity and full ranges of
product series. The ZXC10 BSSB can support the all the existing standards for the
CDMA2000 1X and 1xEV-DO family, and it has supported the function of the
CDMA2000 All-IP network in the LMSD phase, and supports the smooth evolution to the
next generation ALL-IP network.
1.2 Position of ZXC10 BSCB in a Network

The ZXC10 BSCB is a new-generation product designed basing on the 3GPP2 series
standard protocols and the All-IP platform structure. As an important part of the
CDMA2000 1X/1xEV-DO system, it provides the BSC (Base Station Controller) and PCF
(Packet Control Function Subsystem) function in the CDMA2000 radio access network
(RAN).
The ZXC10 BSCB can support CDMA2000 1X and 1xEV-DO Rev A simultaneously on
the same platform, and support mixed insertion of the 1X and 1xEV-DO Rev A. This
system is compatible with IS-95 backward, and can be smoothly upgraded to the later
CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev B.
The ZXC10 BSCB already supports the functions of the CDMA2000 All-IP network in the
LMSD phase, IOS5.0, the separation of signaling from bearer, and the A1p/A2p
interface. The IP transmission technology can be adopted to access it to the
CDMA2000 core network that implements LMSD (Legacy Mobile Station Domain).
Note: The BSC and BSCB mentioned in this document refer to ZXC10 BSCB.

Figure 1 Typical Network Structure of the 3GPP2 All-IP Network in LMSD Step-2
The overall network architecture of the All-IP network in the LMSD phase consists of the
radio access network and the core network, which are independent of each other.
• Radio Access Network (RAN)
Located between the MS (Mobile Station) and the CN (Core Network), the RAN is
responsible for processing radio signals, terminating radio protocols, and
connecting the MS with the core network. It consists of two parts, BSC/PCF
(generally referred to as BSC) and BTS. In the CDMA 2000 RAN, the BSC is the
control part in the BSS (Base Station System) to implement functions, such as call
processing, service selection, resource allocation, background monitoring and BTS
(Base Station Transceiver) access.
• Core network
Core network performs the mobility management, network-side authentication and

interface of public networks. The core network consists of the CS (Circuit Switching)
domain and the PS (Packet Switching) domain: The CS network consists of NE
such as MSCe, MGW, MRFP, SGW, SCPe and HLRe; the PS core network
consists of PDSN (Packet Data Service Node) and AAA. The CS supports two
transmission technologies, IP and TDM, to implement the access of the BSS. The
CS core network can interwork with the TIA/EIA/IS-41 and GSM MAP networks, as
well as the fixed PSTN.
1.2.2 Interfaces of BSCB in the CDMA2000 1X Network

Figure 2 shows the BSCB interface in the All-IP network of the CDMA2000 1X LMSD
phase. The BSC is connected to the BTS via the Abis interface, to the MSCe/MGW via
the A1p/A2p or A1/A2 interface, and to the PCF via the A8/A9 interface. The PCF is

connected to the PDSN equipment via the A10/A11 interface. BSCs are connected with
each other via the A3/A7 interface.

Figure 2 Interfaces of BSCB in the CDMA2000 1X Network
The external interfaces of the BSCB are standard ones, and the interfaces between
BSSB and MSCe/MGW, PDSN and PCF meet the CDMA2000 standard interface
specification; the interface between the BSC and the BTS is the user-defined Abis
interface.
BSCB supports the IOS5.0 protocol, and the A1p and A2p interfaces based on the IP
transmission technology, through which it can be accessed to the MSCe/MGW.
Meanwhile, the BSCB is compatible with the IOS4.* backwards, and provides the A1
and A2 interfaces to access it to the MSCe/MGW with the TDM transmission technology.
However, for the same BSCB equipment, it can be accessed to MSCe/MGW in only one
mode (IP or TDM).
• Alp interface: When BSC is accessed to MSCe in the IP transmission mode, the
signaling interface between the BSC and the MSCe is the A1p interface. The A1p
interface bears the signaling messages related to call processing, mobility
management, radio resource management, authentication and encryption.
• Al2p interface: When BSC is accessed to MGW in the IP transmission mode, the
voice bearing service interface between the BSC and the MGW is the A2p interface.
• Al interface: When the BSC is connected to the MSCe over TDM, the signaling
interface between the BSC and the MSCe is the A1 interface. The A1 interface
bears the signaling messages related to call processing, mobility management,
radio resource management, authentication and encryption.

• A2 interface: When the BSC is connected to the MGW over TDM, the voice bearing
service interface between the BSC and the MGW is the A2 interface. It bears the
64/56K PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) data between the SDU
(Selection/Distribution Unit) at the BTS side and the switching network at the MSC
side.
• A3 interface: Support the inter-BSS soft handoff (BSC interconnection) when the
mobile station is in the traffic channel state. It is divided into two parts: the A3
signaling interface and the A3 traffic interface.
• A7 interface: Support the inter-BSS handoff when the mobile station is not
controlled in the traffic channel state and supports the control flow when the mobile
station needs to establish the new traffic for inter-BSS soft handoff.
• A8 Interface: Bear the data between BSS and PCF.
• A9 interface: Bear the signaling transmission between BSS and PCF, and maintain
the A8 interface between BSS and PCF.
• A10/A11 interface: Bear the transmission of signaling and data between PCF and
PDSN for maintaining the BSS-PCF A10 connection. The A10 interface bears data
while the A11 interface bearing signaling.
• Abis interface: The Abis protocol is used for the interfaces between the BSC and
the BTS. It consists of two parts on the application layer: Control part (Abisc) and
traffic part (Abist), the former converts the Um interface control channel signaling
and the latter converts the control over the traffic channel.
1.2.3 Model of CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A Radio Access Network

The reference model for the CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A radio access network is shown
in Figure 3.
Figure 3 Model of CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A Radio Access Network

The CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A system consists of Access Terminal (AT), Radio
Access Network (RAN) and core network.
• RAN
RAN provides the radio bearer between the core network and AT, responsible for
establishing, maintaining and releasing radio channels, to manage the radio
resources and mobility. RAN consists of such functional entities as Access Network,
Packet Control Function (PCF) and Access Network AAA.
The AN consists of BSC and BTS. AN is a kind of network equipment that provides
data connections between the packet network and the access terminal, to
implement the BTS transceiving, call control and mobility management.
AN-AAA is a logical entity for the access network to implement access

authentication and user authentication. It exchanges the parameters and results for
access authentication with AN through the A12 interface.
PCF and AN jointly implement the radio channel control function related to the
packet data service. In the specific implementation of BSCB, PCF is configured
together with BSC, and the A8/A9 interface is the internal interface for AN/PCF.
PCF communicates with PDSN through the A10/A11 interface.
• Core network
The core network consists of packet core network and switching core network. The
PS core network includes such functional entities as PDSN and AAA; the switching
core network includes MSCe.
• AT
AT is a device providing data connections for users. It can be connected to a

computing device (such as a PC), or serve as an independent data device (such as
mobile phone).
1.2.4 Interfaces of the BSCB in the CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A Network

In the CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A network, the BSCB interface is shown in Figure 4.
The external interfaces of the BSCB are standard ones, and the interfaces between AN
and MSCe/MGW, PDSN, PCF and other ANs meet the standard interface specification
3GPP2 A.S0008; the interface between the BSC and the BTS is the user-defined Abis
interface.

• Abis Interface: The Abis protocol is an interface protocol between the BSC and BTS.
It contains two parts in the application layer: control part (Abisc) and service part
(Abist). The control part converts the Um interface control channel signaling, and
the service part controls the traffic service channel.
• A8/A9 interface: It is used to bear the signaling and data between AN and PCF. The
A9 interface bears signaling, used for maintaining the A8 data connection between
AN and PCF.
• A10/A11 interface: It bears the signaling and data between PCF and PDSN for
maintaining the A10 data connection. The A11 interface bears signaling.
• A12 interface: It connects the AN to the AN AAA for signaling transmission only.
This interface implements the AT terminal access authentication function at the AN
level. After the authentication of the MS/AT access is successful, the AN-AAA
returns MNID to AN for the interface between A8/A9 and A10/A11. The A12
interface uses the RADIUS protocol (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service).
• A13 interface: It is used to support exchanging information related to this AT

between the source AN and the destination AN when AT is roaming.
• A16 interface: It uses the signaling message to deliver the AT’s active connection
status information between the source AN and the target AN to implement hard
handoff.
• A17 interface: It is used to deliver the signaling message between the source AN
and the target AN to assign the target AN resources required to implement soft
handoff. Besides, the A17 interface can deliver the control channel message of the
source AN to the target AN.

• A18 interface: It is used to deliver the AT’s media plane information between the
source AN and the target AN during soft handoff.
• A19 interface: It is used to deliver the handoff control information between the
source AN and the target AN during soft handoff.

3.4.1 Power Control for CDMA2000 1x

Power control can control the actual transmission power of the mobile phone or BTS in
radio transmission to keep it as low as possible, to reduce the power consumption of
mobile phone and BTS and the interference of the entire CDMA network.
Power control can be divided into forward power control and backward power control,
either of which is performed independently. The so-called backward power control refers
to the control of the mobile phone transmitting power, while forward power control refers
to the control of the BS transmitting power.
In a CDMA cellular mobile communication system, the following power control modes
are available:
• Backward open-loop power control
• Backward closed-loop power control
• Backward outer-loop power control
• Forward closed-loop power control
3.4.2 Power Control for 1xEV-DO

In 1xEV-DO system, as the forward power is constant, there is no problem of power
control. Power control is performed in the reverse channel, which involves open loop
power estimation and close loop power correction.
The reverse power control has a control over the output power of the accessed terminal
to ensure the quality of the reverse link while minimizing the interference and maximizing
the system capacity. Only when the average reverse link SNR of each user supports the
acceptable performance with the minimum overheads can the system achieves the
largest capacity.
The power control for 1xEV-DO falls into three parts:
• Open loop power control: The AT (Access Terminal) determines the condition of the
reverse link based on the receiving power of the forward pilot channel, and adjusts
the initial transmitting power to compensate the path loss;
• Close loop power control: The AT feedbacks the power control information in the
RPC (Reverse Power Control) based on the demodulation performance of the
reverse data, and adjusts the transmitting power of the reverse pilot;
• Outer loop power control: BSC adjusts the comparative threshold in the inner loop
power control based on the quality of the reverse link frame. AN judges the quality
of data frame according to the CRC check.
3.5 Handoff Control

3.8 Supporting TrFO/RTO

TrFO/RTO is one of the functions of the CDMA2000 All-IP network in the LMSD phase.
TrFO (Transcoder Free Operation) means that two mobile stations have the network
capability to make the MS-MS call with the same encoding/decoding. It transmits
compressed voices in the bearer path of the packet network between traditional mobile
phones through saving the encoder/decoder. The transcoder is placed at the network
side, and associated with MGW. Through only transmitting the compressed voice, TrFO
improves its bandwidth utilization and reduces its loop delay. In addition, it can improve
the voice quality.
RTO (Remote Transcoder Operation) refers to the network capability that is incompatible
with the encoding/decoding at the end point. RTO tries to establish the bearer path with
the single code conversion to match the incompatible encoding/decoding. The ideal
compressed voice is transmitted between the end points. For the case where there is no
single code conversion used for establishing bearers, two Tandem code conversions are
needed, to search for a matching code between the two end points. RTO is a special
case of TrFO.

The BSCB is an upscale radio access product based on the All-IP technology. The
general structure of an All-IP network is shown in Figure 5.
As shown in Figure 5, there are two levels of switching structure:

1 Level 1 switching: For an IP service, it can be the Ethernet switching or the direct
switching of the Crossbar+ network processor/network processor;
2 Level 2 switching: For an IP service, it can be the Ethernet switching.
Figure 5 General Structure of a BSC Uniform Platform Network
BSCB can access and process multiple traffic flows: Circuit, IP (Internet Protocol), ATM
(Asynchronous Transmission Mode) and HIRS (High-speed Interconnect Router
Subsystem) traffic flows, as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6 Multiple Services Mapping
Mutual mapping is available between services:

versa;
• An HIRS service can be converted into an IP service through frame mapping and
vice versa;
• An ATM service can be converted into an IP service through cell mapping and vice
versa;
• An ATM service can be converted into a circuit service through IP indirect mapping
and vice versa;
• An HIRS service can be converted into a circuit service through IP indirect mapping
and vice versa;

A interface with the MSC and PDSN. It executes the control, management and
maintenance for one or multiple BTSs attached to it, and provides service channels and
SS7 signaling interfaces to the MSC or MSCe/MGW.
The BSC adopts the 19-inch standard rack where four 8U standard plug-in boxes can be
supported. However, only three of them can be configured upon configuration of a GPS
plug-in box. Designed with the CompactPCI standard, universal BSC plug-in boxes
adopt the 8U space with boards being plugged from both the front and back sides. Each
plug-in box has 17 slots.

Figure 11 BCTC Working Principle
• As the signaling switching center of the control subsystem, the UIM implements the
message exchange between modules and provides control Ethernet channels for
externally connecting the resource shelf ;
• The MP board is the communication and control center, and by the software
function, it falls into the CMP, SMP, OMP, RMP, DSMP, RPU, HMP, HBIMP, and
SPCF with the same hardware. The OMP module provides an OMM Ethernet
interface that is used for connecting with the background.
• As the control and maintenance center of the BSC, the CHUB implements
convergence and management of the control flows of the resource subsystem,
level-1 switching subsystem and control subsystem;
• As the clock unit of the BSC, the CLKG implements synchronization of the local NE
with that of the higher level and receipt/distribution of the GPS clock signals;

• There can be one or more control subsystems according to the user capacity of the
BSC, but each NE should have only one pair of OMPs configured.

Figure 12 Control Shelf (BCTC)
4.4.4 Main Processor (MP)

The MP board serves as a communication control center.With powerful processing
performance, the MP provides abundant interfaces for peripheral equipment including
the IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics), 10/100Mbps Ethernet, RS485, RS232 and USB
(Universal Serial Bus) interfaces; attach types of peripheral equipment through standard
PCI bus, conduct the active/standby MP changeover; provide the control register and
data register where the functions or switching status data can be configured through the
main control software.
MP provides the following functions:
• Adopts two sets of CPU subsystems that are almost the same, but mutually
independent. As connected to the UIM respectively through their control flow
Ethernet interfaces, they interconnect with other resource shelves and core
switching units to from the system control Ethernet communication links. The MP
processes the control and signaling data sent form other modules in the shelf;
• Provides a set of RS485 bus for backup of the control flow Ethernet to connect to
the UIM;
• Ensures the active/standby working states of two MPs, including the power-on initial
state establishment and active/standby changeover, command changeover, manual
changeover, reset s changeover, fault changeover (Watchdog overflow). It also
informs the CPU of the corresponding status changes. Two CPUs in the MP
independently change over. Changeover of one set does not affect the
active/standby working status of the other one, in this way, the two MPs in the
active/standby mode can work together. However, they are changed over to the
standby board synchronously upon pressing the RESET button;
• Monitors the running condition of the two CPUs synchronously, such as the data
bus errors, and conducts corresponding processing according to the failure level.
Corresponding hardware should be reset and active/standby changeover should be
performed upon suspension of the MP. The hardware reports the interruption
message to the CPU and provides the failure source query register upon
discovering generic failures.
By the software function, the MP consists of CMP (Call Control Main Processor), OMP
(Operation & Maintenance Processor), RPU (Router Protocol Process Unit), RMP
(Resource Management Main Processor), DSMP (Dedicated signaling Main Processor),
HMP (HRPD Main Processor), HBIMP (HRPD BCMCS and IWS Main Processor), SPCF
(Signal plane of PCF), BCTMP (BSC Control plane Transmit Main Processor),etc. All
these functional boards are the same in hardware.
• CMP: the CMP processes signals at MTP3 and above, and 1x Release A calls.
• OMP: as system control and management module, the OMP implements

foreground communication control with all system boards, processes background
operation and maintenance interface, GPS module transmission/reception control,
and environment monitoring module communication control.
• RPU: the RPU provides system routing and protocol processing.
• RMP: the RMP allocates resource at the BSC side.
• DSMP: the DSMP establishes dedicated channels and processes dedicated

channel signaling at the air interface.
• HMP: the HMP processes HRPD service protocols.
• HBIMP: the HBIMP processes broadcast and IWS service protocols.
• SPCF: the SPCF processes all packet data control information and PTT call control
information.
• BCTMP: the BCTMP perform TCP termination. The transmitting agent procedure on
BCTMP module transmits signaling to CMP module via inter-board message and
then process the Abis protocol.
4.4.5 Control Panel Ethernet Interconnection Board (CHUB)

The CHUB is to connect the control panel Ethernet data stream of the Level-1 switching
subsystem, resource subsystem, and distributed control subsystem. Each subsystem
supports up to four 100Mbps Ethernet interfaces for CHUB connection. The CHUB is
connected to the UIM via the GE interface and provides 46 100Mbps Ethernet interfaces
externally.
The CHUB supports the 1+1 active/standby logic control of the modules. One or multiple
pairs of CHUBs can be configured according to different BSC system capacities.

4.4.6 Clock Generator (CLKG)

The CLKG (CLOCK Generator) considers the 8 KHz frame synchronous signals from the
DTB, 2MHZ/2Mbits from the BITS system, 8 KHz (PP2S, 16 CHIP) from the GPSTM, or
the 8KHz clock signals from the UIM as the local clock reference to synchronize them
with the clock of the higher level office.
Note: Each pair of CLKGs can provide 15 sets of system clocks externally; therefore,
CLKD (CLOCK Distributor) need to be configured if the BSC system capacity exceeds
the limitation.
The CLKD is simpler as compared with the CLKG. It receives a set of system clocks
form the CLKG and then drives them into multiple lines of clocks.
CLKG provides the following functions:
• Communicates with the control console through the RS485 bus;
• Selects the reference sources through the background or manual setting, including
the BITS, circuit (8KHz), GPS and local (level-2 or 3), and screens the manual
changeover via software;
• The sequence for manual selection of the references: 2Mbits1-2Mbits2-2MHz1-

2MHz2-8K1-8K2-8K3-FREE;
• There are four working modes: Fast capture, locked, holdover, and free-run;
• Level-2 or 3 clocks can be output;
• Provides the UIM with 15 channels of 16.384MHz, 8KHz and PP2S clocks;
• Provides the T network with 10 channels of 32MHz, 64MHz and 8KHz clocks;
• Judges the clock loss and input reference degradation;
• Supports active/standby changeover function, including the command, manual,

failure, and reset changeover;
• The discontinuity of clock phase between two CLKGs is less than 1/8UI code
element;
• Provides complete alarming function, including the critical alarm function of phase-
lock loop frequency adjustment, constant temperature slot alarm, clock interruption
alarm and reference degrading alarm;
• Supports clock maintainability.

4.4.7 GPS Control Module (GCM)

As the module that generates synchronous timing and frequency reference signals in the
CDMA system, GCM receives signals from the GPS satellite system, extracts the 1PPS
(One Pulse Per Second) and pilot signals, generates the PP2S, 19.6608MHz and
30MHz signals and relevant TOD (Time of Date) messages by using the 1PPS signals
as the phase-locking reference. It supports the 1+1 active/standby function.
An independent GPS plug-in box needs to be configured upon setting of a GPS clock
due to special features of the GPS clock module.

6 Operation and Maintenance

6.1 Overview
The OMM (Operation Management Maintenance) system is to provide the maintenance
method with a means to ensure normal, highly efficient, reliable, economic and safe
operations of the CDMA BSS. With the support of the DBS (DataBase Subystem), it
conducts the central OAM and management of the CDMA BSSB, including the BSCB
and BTSB. In addition, it supports the local OMM of the BTSB.

6.2 Function Description of OMM

It has the following functions:
• Configuration management
It manages various configurations in the current BSS. Any change of the

network/system/unit configurations occurred due to all the causes takes into effect
unless it is implemented through configuration management. The configuration
management involves the physical resource, radio resource and SS7 configuration.
• Performance management
It starts the performance measurement function of the BSS, collects/processes

measured data, and implements necessary network management control activities
according to the measurement result to improve overall performance of networks. It
includes traffic and signaling performance measurement, service quality
measurement, availability measurement, throughput measurement and handoff
function measurement.
• Fault Management
It falls into two parts, alarm management and diagnosis test. The alarm
management function serves to receive the detailed alarm information sent from
network units in the form of fault reports, and monitor the network status, such as
the circuit group status, network node status, signaling system status and the MSC
area, registration area and cell status. If any network abnormality is found, it will
convert the information into audible, visual and screen display alarms to inform the
operators. When an alarm occurs or the system performance becomes weak, the
operator starts the corresponding test program to perform fault diagnosis and
locating test, as a result, he/she can take proper maintenance measures to
minimize the influence of the fault on the network operation. For on-site replaceable
component modules, the fault cannot be located on more than three modules in
terms of precision. The diagnosis test may be the board test and inter-module
communication link test.
• Security management
It prevents unauthorized persons from conducting deliberate or indeliberate

damages and modification via the background maintenance interface, and conducts
necessary restriction on the operation rights of the operator through different
operation levels. After the restriction operation, it integrates with the OS right
management, thus constructing the entire security system. It also contains the log
management module, for the afterwards analysis and location of the security
problems.
• System tools
It includes the dynamic data management, service observation, serve database

monitoring program, data backup recovery tools and report tools, which provide
substantial suggestions for system optimization, thus achieving a good maintenance
effect by obtaining twice the result with half the effort.
6.3 Remote OMM

OMM supports multiple remote OMM modes, including E1, DDN (Digital Data Network),
PSTN, and X.25.
It supports either a single networking via E1/DDN/PSTN/X.25 or hybrid networking.

Figure 15 Networking Modes of remote OMM
6.4 Networking Modes of OMC

There are two networking modes for the OMC (Operation Maintenance Center)
according to the actual NE quantity: 3-layer and 2-layer network structures. Of them, the
3-layer structure is adopted upon requiring a great amount of NEs while 2-layer one
upon fewer NEs.
Figure 16 3-Layer Networking Structure of the OMC
The 3-layer networking architecture of the OMC is shown in Figure 15. The OMC is
composed of NE operation and maintenance (OMM), local-level OMC (LOMC), and
provincial level OMC (POMC).The LOMC and POMC can be the centralized NM points,

which is to say that the OMC_R (OMC for Radio side) and OMC_S (OMC for Switch side)
can be integrated or independently exist. The LOMC can manage about ten NEs (one
NE (Network Element) corresponds to an OMM) while the POMC about 40 NEs.
The 2-layer networking structure can be adopted when constructing a POMC with fewer
NEs. As shown in Figure 16, the LOMC is omitted and the POMC is constructed directly
from the OMM.
