2.1 Overview 2.2 Hardware Architecture
2.2.1 Cabinet
Architecture
Based on the all-IP platform, the BSC6810 meets the varying needs for network evolution. The BSC6810 has a modular design. It enhances resource utilization and system reliability by applying distributed resource pools to manage the service processing units. In the BSC6810, the backplane is universal, which diversifies the boards and their functions. The BSC6810 improves the universality of hardware platform and the capability of future evolution.
The BSC6810 uses the standard N68E-22 or N68-21-N cabinet of Huawei. The design complies with the IEC60297 and IEEE standards. In terms of the configured subrack, the BSC6810 cabinet is classified into RSR ( RNC Switch Rack) and RBR (RNC Business Rack), as shown in Table 2-1. The subracks should be configured from the bottom up. Table 2-1 Classification of BSC6810 cabinets Cabinet RSR RBR Contained Subrack 1 RNC Switch Subracks (RSS), and 02 RNC Business Subracks (RBS) 13 RNC Business Subracks (RBS) Configuration Principle One and only one RSR is configured. As required by the service capacity, one or no RBR is configured.
2.2.2 Subracks
In compliance with the IEC60297 standard, the BSC6810 subrack has a standard width of 19 inches. The height of each subrack is 12 U. The boards are installed on the front and rear sides of the backplane, which is positioned in the center of the subrack.
Issue 05 (2009-03-25)
A subrack provides 28 slots. The slots on the front of the subrack are numbered from 0 to 13, and those on the rear are numbered from 14 to 27. Figure 2-1 shows the front view and rear view of the subrack. Figure 2-1 Front view (left) and rear view (right) of the subrack

Clock Module
The functions of the clock module are mainly implemented by the GCUa/GCGa boards and the clock processing units of other boards. This module provides the clock for the operation of the RNC, generates RFN signals, and provides NodeBs with timing signals. If the RNC requires GPS signals, the GCGa configuration is required.
The functions of the transmission interface module are mainly implemented by the AEUa, AOUa, UOIa, PEUa, POUa, FG2a, or GOUa boards. This module provides the transmission interface between the BSC6810 and other NEs. In addition, it performs related protocol processing at the transport network layer. For ATM transport, the AAL2 and ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) messages are terminated at the transmission interface module. For IP transport, this module processes UDP and IP messages on the user plane and forwards IP messages on the control plane.
Issue 05 (2009-03-25)
Function The functions of the OM module are mainly implemented by the LMT, BAM, and related modules of host boards. This module performs operation and maintenance on the BSC6810.
2.4 Reliability
The resource pool and redundancy are widely used in the reliability design of the BSC6810. The techniques of detecting and isolating the faults in the boards and in the system are optimized and the software fault tolerance capability is improved to enhance the system reliability.
Load control The system performs load control based on the CPU usage, traffic over each interface, and radio resource load of the system. Thus, the BSC6810 can keep on working in case of CPU overload and resource congestion. In this way, the system reliability is enhanced.
Dynamic sharing of resources in the system The DPUb boards and DSPs work in resource pool mode, that is, all the DSPs in a subrack work as a resource pool. The MPU in a subrack manages and allocates all the user plane resources within the subrack to fulfill intra-subrack sharing of user plane resources. In case of overload, the MPU forwards Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection requests to other subracks to fulfill inter-subrack sharing of user plane resources and intra- and inter-subrack sharing of control plane resources.
Port trunking SCUa boards support port trunking. This function allows data backup in case of link failure, thus preventing inter-plane switchover and cascading switchover and improving the reliability of intra-system communication.
Dual planes for timing signal transmission The BSC6810 provides the dual planes for transmission of timing signals between the GCUa/GCGa and SCUa boards. The active and standby GCUa/GCGa boards are connected to the active and standby SCUa boards through the Y-shaped cables. This connection mode ensures proper working of the timing signals for the system if a single-point failure occurs to the GCUa/GCGa, cable, or SCUa. In addition, with the Y-shaped cable, switchover between GCUa/GCGa boards does not affect the SCUa boards.
Transmission port backup Optical ports support MSP 1:1 or MSP 1+1 redundancy. FE or GE ports support port backup and load sharing between the ports. This improves the reliability of transmission.

OM dual planes To improve the reliability of OM channels, the BSC6810 provides the OM dual planes, including dual OMUa boards, dual Ethernet adapters, and dual main control boards.
Crystal Aging Compensation technology The BSC6810 adopts the Huawei-patented Crystal Aging Compensation technology to compensate for frequency deviation caused by the aging of temperature-constant crystal oscillators. This technology protects the clock precision from the influence of the aging of the crystal oscillators and ensures long-term stability and reliability of the system clock.
Dual 48 V independent power supplies The two independent 48 V power supplies operate at the same time to ensure normal operations in case either of them fails. The failed supply can be restored without a power cut. This improves the reliability and availability of the power system.
The system uses the multi-level cascaded and distributed cluster control mode. Several CPUs form a cluster processing system. Each module has distinct functions. The communication channels between modules are based on the backup design or anti-suspension/breakdown design. The system uses the redundancy design, as shown in Table 2-5, to support hot swap of boards and backup of important modules. Therefore, the system has great error tolerance.

Redundancy Mode Port redundancy or load sharing Port redundancy or load sharing Board redundancy
When an entity fails, the isolation mechanism transfers the services to another entity for processing. After the system finds a faulty board in the resource pool, it isolates the board. Then another board in the resource pool will process the subsequent services. When a board with a single function fails, restarting the system might clear the fault. All boards support dual-BIOS. Faults at one BIOS do not affect startup or operation of the boards. The system uses the non-volatile memory to store important data.
z z z
Scheduled checks on crucial resources Checks are performed on the software resources of the system. If a resource deadlock occurs due to software exceptions, it is temporary, because the check mechanism ensures that the locked resources are released quickly and that related logs and alarms are generated.
Task monitoring When the software is running, internal software faults and some hardware faults can be monitored through the monitoring process. The monitoring process monitors the task running status, takes over encountered system exceptions, and reports the exceptions to the OM system.
Data check Scheduled or event-driven data consistency checks are performed, and related logs and alarms are output.
Dual-version function The boards of the BSC6810 all work in active/standby working area mode. The active working area is used to store version file that is currently used by the system, whereas the standby working area is used to store a version file that is different from that in the active working area. RNC version upgrades and rollbacks can be achieved through switchovers between the active and standby working areas.
Data backup Both the Back Administration Module (BAM) and Front Administration Module (FAM) support data backup to ensure data reliability and consistency.

Operation logs The system logs performed operations. The operation logs help locate and rectify faults caused by improper operations.
Flow control The BSC6810 automatically performs flow control over the Iub, Iur, and Iu interfaces.
