Introduction to the Huawei BSC 6910
BSC6910 is a new generation product based on BSC6900 and adopts the most advanced system
architecture. BSC6910 can handle the growing data traffic in the mobile broadband network, provide
diversified services, and support the development of cloud computing.
Like the BSC6900, the BSC6910 can be flexibly configured as BSC6910 GSM, BSC6910 UMTS or BSC6910
GSM+UMTS (GU). BSC6910 GSM or BSC6910 UMTS is called BSC6910 in stand-alone mode and BSC6910
GU is called BSC6910 in integrated mode. The BSC6910 GSM and BSC6910 UMTS boards can be installed
in a cabinet. BSC6910 supports GU functions such as Coordination, Administration and Maintenance
(Co-OAM), Cooperative Radio Resource Management (Co-RRM) and Cooperative Transmission Resource
Management (Co-TRM). BSC6910 can connect to GSM and UMTS Core Network (CN) and manage base
stations in GSM and UMTS networks. BSC6910 can be connected to AC in WLAN to realize
GSM/UMTS/WLAN (GUW) collaboration.

2.Software Architecture
BSC6910 inherits the layered software architecture of BSC6900. BSC6910 provides different services by
providing different application software on a unified basic platform. Each layer and level deploy and
provides services below it Its upper and other layers. At the same time, the algorithm and physical
deployment of each layer are isolated from other layers, so each layer Each layer performs its own
duties and develops independently.

3.Reliability
The design of BSC6910 makes extensive use of resource pool and redundant design functions.
Optimized board fault detection and isolation, increased software fault tolerance for increased system
reliability.
❖ Active/standby switchover
All hardware of BSC6910 adopts redundancy mechanism. quick switch between
Active and standby components improve system reliability. Also, there is a swift error
Detection and recovery mechanisms minimize the impact of failures on service.
❖ flow control
The system performs flow control based on CPU and memory usage. BSC6910
You can continue to work by adjusting the performance monitoring point,
Resource monitoring and resource scheduling when CPU overload and resource overload
insufficient. This improves system reliability.
❖ If it is a board with unique features, the ability to reboot the board to fix errors
Fault.
❖ Dual Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) support. Bugs in BIOS don't affect this
Commissioning or operation of the circuit board.
❖ The components of the system are of high quality and have passed the aging test. The hardware
assembly process is strictly controlled. These methods ensure high stability and reliability in
long-term operation.

3.3 Software Reliability
❖ data validation
To stop software from being altered during transmission and storage, a software integrity check and
digital signature are utilized.
The program does recurring or event-driven data consistency checks, selectively or ideally restores data,
and creates logs and alarms.
❖ Data protection
To guarantee data dependability and consistency, backups may be made of both the data in the OMU
database and the data of other boards.
Storage of operation logs
The system records all operations automatically. These operation logs assist users in identifying and
fixing errors brought on by incorrect procedures.
4. Configuration
4.1 Overview
In independent mode, the BSC6910 GSM or BSC6910 UMTS are known to as the BSC6910, whereas in
integrated mode, the BSC6910 GU is referred to as the BSC6910. Through unified software
administration, common EOMU and GCU/GCG, and BSC6910 UMTS and GSM functionality, the BSC6910
GU combines the capabilities of both devices. GSM service boards and UMTS service boards are set up in
distinct subracks in the BSC6910 GU.
The figure below is an Example of the configurations of the BSC6910 UMTS, BSC6910 GSM, and
BSC6910 GU
8
The BSC6910 GU can accommodate up to two cabinets with a total of six subracks, of which three
subracks can be GSM subracks. Additionally, the BSC6910 UMTS supports up to two cabinets with six
subracks each. The BSC6910 GSM can accommodate up to one cabinet with three subracks.
When the BSC6910 V100R016C00 is configured as the BSC6910 GSM or BSC6910 GU, TC subracks cannot
be configured.

Powerful Hardware Management Features for Detecting and Repairing Hardware Faults
Immediately
The BSC6910 offers a hardware defect pre-warning system, assuring that there will be enough
time to fix the issues before services are stopped.
The BSC6910 offers features including internal device status management, data configuration,
and status inquiry.
The BSC6910 warns users by generating alarms and flashing indicators when a hardware issue
occurs and assists users in debugging. Alarms are turned off after the defects have been fixed.
The BSC6910 can conduct an action, such as activating or deactivating the defective
component, to isolate the component. The hot swap capability permits speedy power-on of the
replacement when a faulty component has to be changed, cutting down on the time needed to
fix errors.
In the event of an emergency, you can perform a board reset or similar operation to quickly
rectify the fault.

Functions for Advanced Software Management for Safe and Easy Upgrades
In order to upgrade the software at the operation maintenance center (OMC) without
disrupting existing services, the BSC6910 includes a remote upgrade mechanism.
The system's critical data may be backed up using the remote upgrading tool. If the upgrade is
unsuccessful, a version rollback can be executed right away, swiftly restoring the system to its
previous state.
After an upgrade is finished, a version consistency check is carried out to verify the program
version.
Rich Tracing and Detection Mechanisms for Trustworthy Network Status Monitoring
To precisely find defects, the BSC6910 offers tracing and detection capabilities on several tiers
and levels. User tracing, interface tracing, message tracing, and defect detection at the physical
level are some of the tracing and detection functions.
Tracing messages are saved as files which can be viewed through the review and tracing
functions of the LMT.

CONCLUSION
A BSC (Base Station Controller) is a component of a mobile network that controls and monitors
base stations, i.e. short-range radio transceivers that connect telephones, computers and
wireless devices to a network.
BSCs are a vital part of any mobile network, as they enable SMBs using wireless technologies to
communicate with their customers, consumers and suppliers. By managing network traffic,
these controllers help improve the quality of communications in a company's office.
It is through the BSC that the supervision is done at the level of the operation and maintenance
center.
