GIGABIT UNIVERSAL INTERFACE MODULE (GUIM 1+1)

Provide control plane and user plane Ethernet switching in gigabit resource shelf, circuit domain timeslot switching, gigabit resource shelf management, also provide external interface for shelf.
Provide clock driving function to all boards in gigabit resource shelf. The external data from the boards of the shelf enter to Ethernet switching and TS switching domain for switching and is then sent to the destination board.

SONET DIGITAL TRUNK BOARD (SDTB2 1+1) :

Provide two 155Mbps STM-1 interface.
Provide an access processing capacity of 126E1.

It receives the clock from the system clock board and provide the reference clock signal to the STM-1 for the synchronization.
It receives the STM-1 optical data from line side and then sent to the circuit switching for the switching, from where it sent to GUIM board and vice versa.

One SDTB2 can support

= 126E1 Abis interface (2xSTM-1).

Abis E1 require for 2048 TRX BSC = 170E1(2048trx/12trx per E1). = 340E1 for Abis Protection(170x2).

STDB2 requirement for BSC STDB2 with 1+1 redundancy

= 3 (340/126 E1 per STDB2 = 2.7). = 3x2 = 6 No. of Board.

E1 IP INTERFACE BOARD (EIPI 1+0) :

EIPI board provides E1 based IP access. It is basically E1 to IP payload and vice versa. It works together with SDTB2 board, two EIPI boards are connected with one SDTB2 board to provide 2 x 63E1 interface.
The interface unit access HW data, and sends the data to HSP sub card. After being processed by HSP protocol, the data is sent to service processing unit where it get distributed to user plane and control plane. The user plane data is sent to GUP2 for processing via user plane switching network and the control plane data is sent to CMP for processing via control plane switching network.

One EIPI board have capacity of 63E1 interface. EIPI board works together with SDTB2 board for the E1 to IP payload and vice versa. One SDTB2 board have 2x STM-1 i.e (63E1x2 = 126E1)

So to support one SDTB2 board we require two EIPI board i.e (2x63E1 interface = 126E1 interface for E1 to IP payload and vice versa).

GSM UNIVERSAL PROCESSING BOARD (GUP2 1+0)LOGICAL NAME (BIPB2):

GUP2 board logically can be used in different ways, if we are using in process of Abis then its logical name is ABIS INTERFACE PROCESSING BOARD (BIPB2). At STM-1 interface or E1 interface, the CS and PS service from BTS are switched through circuit switching network of GUIM board. The 20ms TRU frames or (PD frame) are found out and it converts into IP packets and then sent to the target board through GUIM.

GUP2 when used as BIPB2 Processor)

= 15 DSP (Digital Signal

Capacity of each DSP = 28 TRX.

TRX capacity of one BIPB2 board = 420 TRX (15DSP x 28 TRX). Total TRX capacity of BSC BIPB2 board require in BSC = 2048 TRX. = 5 ( 2048TRX/420TRX = 4.8).

So, number of BIPB2 board in BSC is 5 with 1+0. Redundancy can be possible with expansion.

GSM UNIVERSAL PROCESSING BOARD (GUP2 1+0)LOGICAL NAME (TIPB2):

GUP2 board logically can be used in different ways, if we are using in process of Ater then its logical name is ATER INTERFACE PROCESSING BOARD (TIPB2). When used as TIPB2, the user plane data from GUIM is given to DSP through Ethernet switching unit, convert to TDM data and then sent to target board through circuit switching.

GUP2 when used as TIPB2

= 15 DSP (Digital Signal Processor) Capacity of each DSP = 992 TCH. TCH capacity of one TIPB2 board = 14880 TCH (15DSP x 992TCH). Number of sites with 2048 TRX = 170 Sites ( 2048TRX/12TRX) Assuming 4+4+4 configuration. One 2048 TRX BSC = 11730 Full Rate TCH (170Sites x 69TS) Assuming normal condition, one site = 69TCH{96TS-3[6PDCH(3Fix+3Sw) + 1BCCH(1TS) + 2SDCCH(2TS)]}. Assuming 30% AMR HR = 15249 FR+HR TCH (11730 + 3519). Assuming 80% utilization of BSC = 12200 FR + HR TCH. GUP2(TIPB2) require = 1Nos. (12200TCH/14880TCH= 0.9) So number of TIPB2 board in BSC with 1+1 redundancy = 2 Nos.

SDTB2(Ater) board is used with GUP2(TIPB2) to process TCH on Ater interface. One SDTB2 can support = 2 STM-1 (Optical). SDTB2 can support = 15120 channels of 16kbps on Ater IF (2 x 63E1 x 30 x 4). GUP2(TIPB2) traffic capacity = 14880 TCH. SDTB2 board require = 1 Nos. (14880TCH/15120TCS=0.9)

So, number of SDTB2 board require with 1+1 redundancy = 2 Nos.

GSM UNIVERSAL PROCESSING BOARD (GUP2 1+0)LOGICAL NAME (UPPB2):

GUP2 board logically can be used in different ways, if we are using in process of Gb then its logical name is USER PLANE PROCESSING BOARD (UPPB2). When used as UPPB2, the user plane data from GUIM board access the FE/GE interface and then it is given to DSP through Ethernet switching unit.DSP perform some user plane processing and then switches the data to SPB2 board through user plane GE interface.

GUP2 when used as UPPB2

= 600 Cells (15DSP x 40 Cells). Capacity of each DSP = 40 Cells. GUP2(UPPB2) can support = 3600 PDCH Simultaneously. [600Cells x 6(3Fix + 3Sw)]. One 2048 TRX capacity BSC = 170 sites(2048TRX/12TRX). Assuming 4+4+4 configuration. 170 Sites per BSC = 510 Sector ( 170sitesx 3sectors/site). 510 Sectors per BSC = 3060 PDCH [ 510Sectors x 6(3Fix + 3Sw)]. GUP2(UPPB2) require per BSC = 1 Nos. (3060/3600PDCH = 0.9). So, number of GUP2(UPPB2) require with 1+1 redundancy = 2 Nos.

SIGNALING PROCESSING BOARD (SPB2 1+0):

SPB2 board can be used for LAPD processing board. LAPD signal from BTS is access by SDTB2 board and switched to LAPD board through the circuit switching network on UIMC/UIMU or in gigabit resource shelf through GUIM where it perform LAPD processing. When SPB2 is used as signal processing board, it process MTP2 and X.25 protocol and extract 8k synchronization clock from the line and transmit it through cable to the CLKG. When SPB2 is used as Gb interface processing board, it perform Gb interface function. It provide physical 16xE1 external interface.

BSC Gb LINK CALCULATION:

Number of TRX in BSC Number of Sites in BSC PDCH for one site = 2048 TRX = 137 (2048TRX/15TRX) Assuming 5+5+5 configuration. = 18 [3 sector x 6 PDCH(3Fix + 3Sw)].

BW require for PDCH of 1 site = 1152 (18 x 64kbps BW/PDCH TS). Total BW require for BSC E1 require for PDCH BW = 157286(1152BW/site x 137 sites). = 77(157.29Mbps/2.048Mbps per E1).

Assuming 10% PDCH using simultaneously = 8E1[10% of 77E1(100%)] E1 requirement can be increase as per the Gb link % utilization observed at SGSN.(80%).

GE IP INTERFACE BOARD (GIPI 1+1) :

GIPI board provide IP interface between ZTE iBSC and BTS,SGSN and MSC/MGW. Each GIPI provide GE interface.
When used for Abis interface it functional work is Gigabit IP Interface Board (IPBB). The interface unit access the date and then it send to service processing unit where the user plane data is sent to GUP2 for processing and control plane date is sent to CMP.
