PSTN: public switched telephone network
In the GSM-R network, the mobile switching center (MSC) in the core network can be
divided into the VMSC, TMSC and GMSC based on different network positions. Thus, it can
realize the hierarchy of the network.
The UMG8900 can network with the MSC server to serve as a VMSC/TMSC/GMSC in the
GSM-R network.
Because the UMG8900 is based on the standard softswitch architecture, one UMG8900 can
network with one MSC server. At the same time, multiple UMG8900s can accept the
management and control of one MSC server to build a big local network.
The UMG8900 and MSC server can be placed in one equipment room. They can also be
placed in different equipment rooms and connect with each other through the IP bearer
network. The UMG8900 is placed near the access network to build a big local network. Thus,
it can reduce switching paths of user data and improve service quality effectively.
The centralized network management system iManager M2000 of Huawei can implement the
centralized management and maintenance on all the network elements in the network.
Phase Characteristics
GSM The air interfaces adopt the frequency division multiple access (FDMA) and time
division multiple access (TDMA) modes. All the transport networks adopt the
TDM mode and comply with GSM series of specifications. The core network
adopts the hierarchical architecture. The network connections are complex and
the end-to-end delay is very low.
GPRS Two physical entities, namely, gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) and serving
GPRS support node (SGSN), are overlaid on the current GSM network. The air
interfaces in the access network have no change. Packet service processing
interfaces are added to base station controllers (BSCs).
UMTS The air interfaces adopt the CDMA mode. The transmission between access
R99 networks and between access networks and the core network is based on the
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). The architecture of the core network has no
change. The UMTS R99 network complies with relevant 3GPP R99 standards.
The core network is divided into the CS and PS domains. The CS domain
provides voice and narrowband data services. The PS domain provides
high-speed packet services. The CS domain is based on the TDM mode, which is
the same as that in the GSM network.
UMTS The access network is the same as that in the R99. The softswitch architecture is
R4 introduced to the CS domain of the core network. The original MSC breaks up
into two entities, the MSC Server and MGW. The core network supports
TDM/ATM/IP connections. The network evolves toward a flattened architecture
and the networking is more flexible.
The PS domain of the core network is the same as that in the R99.
UMTS Based on the R4, the IMS domain is introduced. The UMTS R5 network achieves
R5 the integrated access of voice, data and video services and provides IP
multimedia services.
The R4 CS domain is retained to provide voice and narrowband data services.
UMTS The IMS domain is enhanced to achieve the interworking with current different
R6 networks and the interworking between different IMS domains.
At different phases of network evolution, the UMG8900 applications are shown in Figure 1-2.

The UMG8900 is based on the standard separated architecture. It can cooperate with the
softswitch to meet core switching applications at different network phases.
In actual networking, you can add related hardware boards and upgrade software so that the
UMG8900 can support smooth expansion and evolution.
2 Key Benefits
This chapter describes the features of the UMG8900 in terms of product design, system
architecture, and operation and maintenance. Through the chapter, you can learn general
features of the UMG8900.
The following table lists the contents of this chapter.
Title Description
2.1 Hardware Features Describes hardware platforms of the SSM-256 frames and
the SSM-32 frames of the UMG8900
2.2 Service Features Describes services, networking modes, and capacities of
the UMG8900
2.3 Maintenance Features Describes maintenance and operation, security design,
and reliability of the UMG8900
The SSM-32 frame equipped with the UG02TNC can provide the 96-K TDM switching capability.
The boards and interfaces supported by the UMG8900 are shown in Table 2-2.
The configuration of each type of boards of the UMG8900 must comply with the board matching
limitation. Otherwise, services cannot run normally.
SSM-256 Self-Cascading
The SSM-256 and SSM-32 frames of the UMG8900 support multi-frame cascading, either
self-cascading or mixed cascading. The following describes these two kinds of cascading
respectively.
In the SSM-256 self-cascading mode, the UMG8900 supports up to nine frames. The
SSM-256 frame supports two types of cascading boards as follows:
TNU (MTNU/TCLU), FLU (UG01FLU), and BLU (UG01BLU)
This type of boards supports 3 x 8 K TDM cascading between frames. The MTNUs are
configured in the main control frame in the single-frame networking or in the central
switching frame ( 2 frames). The TCLUs are configured in a service frame.
TNU (MTNB), FLU (UG02FLU), and BLU (UG02BLU.A and UG02BLU.C)
This type of boards supports 4 x 8 K TDM cascading between frames. When the MTNBs
are used, both types of frames adopt the MTNBs.
The SSM-256 frames can adopt three self-cascading modes, as shown in Table 2-3.
Mode 1 The MTNB is Except the control frame, other frames use the MTNBs to

boards. The central switching frame can be configured with the
BLU/FLU that provides three 8 K TDM cascading
channels to cascade with a service that is configured with
the TCLU.
Among the above three modes, modes 1 and 2 mainly apply to new offices and mode 3 mainly applies to
the expansion where the MTNB is added based on the original configuration of the MTNU. The three
cascading modes are the same except the cascading boards and the capacities of TDM cascading
channels between frames.
Take the TNU (MTNB) and the BLU/FLU that provides 4 x 8 K TDM cascading channels as
an example. The nine-frame cascading is shown in Figure 2-1.

Mode 2 differs from mode 1 in the main control frame. In mode 1, the main control frame
provides the service and device management functions. In mode 2, the main control frame
provides the device management and cascading functions. That is, in mode 2, cascading
boards are inserted in the main control frame to connect with service frames.
The CLK in the main control frame can be configured in the central switching frame
numbered 0. In this case, the central switching frame does not provide the cascading function
and can hold service boards to process services.
In the SSM-256 self-cascading mode, the independent CLK must be configured. Through
clock distribution cables, the CLK provides clock signals for the SSM-256 frame where no
CLK is configured.
SSM-32 Self-Cascading
When SSM-32 frames self-cascade independently, the UMG8900 supports up to three frame.
Suppose the UG02TNC is configured in the SSM-32 frame, the cascading is shown in Figure
2-3.

In mode 1, an SSM-256 frame serves as the central switching frame. In the SSM-256 frame,
the physical board of the TNU is the MTNB. In the SSM-32 frame, the physical board of the
TNU is the MTNC.
The cascading mode between the SSM-32 frame and the SSM-256 central switching frame is
2 x TDM + 1 x FE + 1 x GE. The TNB provides the TDM cascading channel. The TNC and
the NET provide the FE cascading channel. The NLU and the NET provide the GE cascading
channel. If the UG01TNC is configured in the SSM-32 frame, the cascading mode between
frames is 1 x TDM + 1 x FE + 1 x GE.
The SSM-256 frame can also cascade the SSM-32 frame through the BLU, as shown in
Figure 2-5.

The physical board of the FLU/BLU is the BLU supporting 4 x 8 K TDM cascading. The
cascading mode between the SSM-32 frame and the SSM-256 central switching frame is 2 x
TDM + 1 x FE + 1 x GE. The BLU in the SSM-256 frame provides the TDM/GE/FE
cascading channel. The TNC in the SSM-32 frame provides the TDM/FE cascading channel.
The NLU in the SSM-32 frame provides the GE cascading channel. If the UG01TNC is
configured in the SSM-32 frame, the cascading mode between frames is 1 x TDM + 1 x FE +
1 x GE.
In the actual networking application, the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading mode can
work with the preceding two cascading modes. That is, the central switching frame cascade
with the main control frame through the NET, and cascade with the SSM-32 service frame
through the BLU.
If no GE cascading is required, an SSM-256 frame can cascade 28 SSM-32 frames. In the
case of E1-only networking, the 2 x TDM + 1 x FE + 1 x GE cascading mode is usually
adopted, and an SSM-256 frame can cascade 14 SSM-32 frames. In the case of STM-1-only
networking, the 4 x TDM + 1 x FE + 2 x GE cascading mode is usually adopted, and an
SSM-256 frame can cascade 7 SSM-32 frames.
The UMG8900 supports small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical modules for the STM-1
SDH/SONET interface. These interfaces can be configured with different optical modules in
different applications.

The UMG8900 supports stratum-2 A and stratum-3 clocks. When the clock subboards are
used, the UMG8900 supports stratum-3 clock only. Thus, the UMG8900 can meet clock
requirements in different networking applications.
SCTP multi-homing
Multiple IP addresses in one SCTP association are supported by both ends. Thus, the
end-to-end multi-path transmission mechanism is realized, which is more reliable for the
upper layer subscribers.
Upgrade without service interruption
The upgrade of the UMG8900 does not affect the services.
File transmission from the version server to the BAM of the UMG8900 through Trivial
File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
Time localization function
You can set the time based on the time zone where the UMG8900 is located, and set the
daylight saving time.
Open Mc interface, and interconnection with the MSC server of the other suppliers
MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS)
The fast packet forwarding capability can be improved, and the QoS is guaranteed.
IP over E1 function
The UMG8900 can adapt the IP data packets into the TDM packets, implement
transparent transmission based on the route, and support the Compressed Real-Time
Protocol (CRTP) function when the type of the IP bearer interface is serial or VT. That is,
the RTP packet is compressed, the bandwidth occupied by the RTP packet is reduced,
and the transmission efficiency is improved.
Working with the MSC server to support the H.248.11 overload control protocol and the
H.248.10 congestion control protocol, and supporting the self overload protection
function, to completely and stably support the H.248 protocol
SSH server function to ensure data completeness and reliability and safely implement
remote user login and access
Flexible configuration of common codecs
In the actual networking application, the MGW is required to recognize and transparently
transmit certain special codecs only without converting them. The UMG8900 can
flexibly configure such common codecs to implement dynamic support.
IP interworking inside the MGW
For interworking between IP terminations inside the MGW, the IP interfaces are looped
through lines. No router or layer 3 switch is required to transmit packets; thus, the cost is
reduced.
and improve the QoS. At the same time, the flat network architecture and connection mode
support flexible networking. The UMG8900 can form a big local network or build a virtual
dedicated network through user division based on areas on the MSC server.
In addition, the UMG8900 can provide the agent A-Flex function to implement MSC Pool
networking. The devices in the access network can interconnect with each MSC Server in
MSC Pool without being upgraded. The MSC Servers in Pool can share resources and load. If
an MSC Server fails, another MSC Server in Pool can take over subscribers of the faulty MSC
Server. Thus, network disaster recovery is implemented.
Type Description
Installation The UMG8900 uses the standard 19-inch cabinet, which is convenient for
initial deployment and expansion.
Each functional module provides standard external interfaces with clear
labels. As standardized joints are used, there is no requirement for special
tools in equipment mounting.
Boards are inserted in front and back slots on the backplane of a frame.
All cables lead out from the rear of a cabinet for the convenience of
equipment installation and cable distribution.
All boards support hot plugging. There are indicators on the front panel of
a board to show the running status of the board and interfaces.
Maintenance The UMG8900 provides various management methods such as the MML
and GUI combined interface and the integrated network management
system iManager. Thus, the UMG8900 enables the local and remote
maintenance functions. The graphic interface offers powerful online help
and easy operation.
The UMG8900 supports online report of hardware and software versions,
online software loading and patch installation. This feature enables
software upgrade and maintenance without affecting the system running.
The UMG8900 supports version consistency check, version authentication
of front administration module (FAM) and back administration module
(BAM) and version roll back.
The UMG8900 provides logs, alarms, traffic statistics and fault diagnosis
functions to facilitate fault prevention, location and troubleshooting.
The UMG8900 provides a series of tools such as Info Collection Tool,
Health Check Tool and Log Analyzer, and supports analysis and
maintenance of operating conditions of the device in both the online and
offline modes.
The UMG8900 supports the call history record (CHR) function. Critical
information in calls are recorded and processed to CHRs. The CHRs are
saved on the server for value-added applications such as real-time monitor
and troubleshooting.
The alarm box can display visual alarm information and notify
maintenance personnel of alarms by phone.
Fans in a frame support the automatic speed adjustment function. The fans
can adjust their speed automatically according to the current temperature
of the device to increase the life span and reduce the power consumption
of the device.
The UMG8900 supports backup of important data at the system level. For example, you
can back up configuration data, running data, statistic information, operation information,
management information and running log to the hard disk or compact disk.
Operation and maintenance security
The system defines user groups and rights. Different user groups can customize different
command sets. Through the configuration of command groups and users, the system can
effectively implement hierarchical management of operators and operation rights.
During the operation, the system checks data consistency and gives prompt and
confirmation about operations. This avoids possible damage to the system due to
improper operations.
Network and device management can protect your password and make unauthorized
access invalid. Service data can be accessed only in certain condition. The system
ensures that only authorized users can obtain correct data.
Through the access control list (ACL), you can configure the firewall flexibly to filter
messages of ports that do not provide service. Thus, the system can prevent attackers
from finding system holes through the port scanning technique.
The UMG8900 supports the IP Security (IPSec) protocol. The UMG8900 ensures the
security of services by encryption of transmission data.
3 System Architecture
This chapter describes the system architecture of the UMG8900. In detail, it profiles the
logical interfaces, hardware and software components of the UMG8900. It also introduces
each functional module of the UMG8900.
The following table lists the contents of this chapter.
Title Description
The N68E-22 cabinet is the enhanced model of the N68-22 cabinet. Its specifications such as
dimensions are the same as those of the N68-22 cabinet. The difference is that the N68E-22
cabinet is equipped with only one door and the installation is easier.
An N68-22/N68E-22 cabinet has a 46 U inside space (1 U = 44.45 mm = 1.75 inches). It
comprises a power distribution frame, three semi-integrated frames, a cabling trough, multiple
filler panels, a rack, multiple guide rails and one or more side hang fiber coilers. It is supplied
with 48 V/60 V DC power. It conforms to IEC297 standards and meets the requirement for
flexible module configuration.
The N68-22/N68E-22 cabinet can adopt the front and back maintenance modes, and support
upward and downward cabling modes. The N68-22/N68E-22 cabinet can be placed and
connected with cables based on the actual conditions of the equipment room.
In addition, the N68-22/N68E-22 cabinet adopts the standard 19-inch structure. Other frames
based on the standard 19-inch structure can be placed in free space of the cabinet to improve
the utilization of the equipment room.
An SSM-256 frame has 32 front and back slots in total. In the main control frame, the
MOMU/MNET boards are configured by default. In a service frame, the MMPU/MNET
boards are configured by default.
The front view of a UMG8900 SSM-32 frame is shown in Figure 3-4.
An SSM-32 frame has 28 front and back slots in total. In the main control frame, the
MOMB/MTNC boards are configured by default. In a service frame, the MTNC boards are
configured by default.
A fan box is integrated at the bottom of a cabinet. On the back of a cabinet, there are power
input and monitoring interfaces as well as the dual in-line package (DIP) switches that are
used to set frame No.
The UMG8900 frame is a semi-integrated frame with a fan box. The frame provides front and
back slots in pair to hold boards. The frame is 12U in height and the middle 9U is for boards.
A front board is 9U in height while a back board is 8U. Thus, 1U at the back of the frame is
for the filtering box.
Because a front slot differs from a back slot in height, front and back boards cannot be
inserted crossly.
When only SSM-256 frames are used, the hardware components are shown in Figure 3-5.

When the UMG8900 works as a VMSC, it must attach an SIWF frame to provide the IWF.
The UMG8900 and the SIWF connect with each other by FE and E1/T1, and communicate
through the internal protocol.
The UMG8900 frames can be logically classified into the main control frame, central
switching frame, service frame and control frame. The main control frame is the control and
management center of the equipment and also provides the service processing function. The
central switching frame provides switching and cascading functions. The service frame
provides the service processing function. The control frame only processes call control
messages instead of bearer services.
In the case of only SSM-256 frames, there are TDM, FE and GE cascading channels between
frames. The UMG8900 supports 4 8 K or 3 8 K TDM cascading, 2 GE cascading and 1
FE cascading. The cascading channels work in the master/slave mode. In addition, there are
clock distribution cables from the clock (CLK) boards to service frames, the central switching
frame and control frame to provide clock signals.
When only SSM-32 frames are used, the hardware components are shown in Figure 3-6.
2# 3#
In the case of only SSM-32 frames, the UMG8900 supports three-frame cascading at most.
When the UMG8900 works as a VMSC, it must attach an SIWF frame to provide the IWF.
The UMG8900 frames can be logically classified into the main control frame and service
frame. The main control frame is always numbered 1. The main control frame can serve as the
central switching frame at the same time or the central switching frame can be configured
independently.
In the case of only SSM-32 frames, there are TDM and FE cascading channels between
frames to provide 1 8 K TDM and 1 FE cascading capacities. The MTNC boards in the
main control frame or the central switching frame connect with the MTNC boards in other
frames. There is no requirement for independent cascading boards.
The SSM-32 frames support GE cascading as well. In this case, you must configure
independent NLU cascading boards.
Clock subboards can be attached to the MTNC boards in the main control frame to provide
stratum-3 clock signals or independent CLK boards can be configured to provide stratum-2 or
stratum-3 clock signals. Other frames extract clock signals through the TDM cascading
channels between frames. There is no requirement for independent clock distribution cables.
When both SSM-32 frames and SSM-256 frames are used, the hardware components are
shown in Figure 3-7.

SIWF
In the case of SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed application, the UMG8900 supports 29-frame
cascading at most. When the UMG8900 works as a VMSC, it must attach an SIWF frame to
provide the IWF.
The UMG8900 frames can be logically classified into the main control frame, service frame
and central switching frame. The main control frame is fixed to use frame No.1. The central
switching frame is fixed to use frame No.0. Service frames use frame Nos.2 to 28. The central
switching frame uses an SSM-256 frame. Service frames can use either SSM-32 frames or
SSM-256 frames.
In the case of SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed application, there are TDM and FE cascading
channels between frames. The UMG8900 provides 1 8 K TDM /2 x 8K TDM/4 x 8K TDM
and 1 FE cascading capacities between the SSM-256 central switching frame and SSM-32
frames.
In the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading mode, the UMG8900 also supports GE
cascading between frames. In this case, you must configure independent NLU cascading
boards in the SSM-32 frames and the UMG8900 supports up to eight-frame cascading.
In this mode, if clock subboards on the MTNC in the SSM-32 main control frame are used to
provide stratum-3 clock signals, other frames extract clock signals through the TDM
cascading channels between frames. There is no requirement for independent clock
distribution cables. If independent CLK boards are used, clock distribution cables are required
to provide clock signals for the central switching frame and other SSM-256 service frames.
The LMT client software installed on a PC is used for the operation and maintenance, data
configuration and equipment management of the UMG8900. The LMT client connects with
the OMC interface in the main control frame.

A single cabinet is composed of a power distribution frame, service frames, cabling troughs,
filler panels, a cabling rack, slide rails and side hang fiber coilers. The cabinet adopts 48
V/60 V DC power supply. The cabinet conforms to IEC297 standards and supports flexible
configuration of modules in it.
A cabinet has a front door and a back door, which enable the device maintenance from both
the front and back of the cabinet.
The UMG8900 supports multi-frame cascading to cover applications from 16 E1s/T1s to
7168 E1s/T1s smoothly. In the large-capacity networking, more than one cabinet is required.

A front slot is 9 U high and a back slot is 8 U high. The slot positions follow the rules below:
Back slots 7 and 8 are fixed for the MNET boards.
Front slots 7 and 8 are fixed for the MOMU boards in the main control frame and for the
MMPU boards in other frames.
Back slots 6 and 9 are fixed for the TNU boards. The physical boards corresponding to
the TNU are the MTNB, MTNU and TCLU.
Front slots 6 and 9 are for service resource boards such as the MVPD. The two slots
cannot be inserted with the service boards that require corresponding back interface
boards.
Common slots are for service processing boards. The CLK boards shall be inserted in
back slots 0 and 1 in the main control frame.
For a board that requires a corresponding back board, if a front slot is inserted with a specified
service board such as an MHRU, the corresponding back slot must be inserted with an
interface board such as an E8T, or an E1G.
For details about board configuration, see the online help for MML commands.

An SSM-256 frame and an SSM-32 frame are the same in appearance and structure but
different in the backplane. In an SSM-32 frame, the main control boards MMPB and their
back boards MTNC occupy two front and back slots respectively.
The slot positions follow the rules below:
Back slots 7 and 9 are only for the MTNC boards. Front slots 7 and 9 are only for the
main control boards, MOMB in the main control frame and MMPB in other SSM-32
frames respectively. Because MTNC boards and MOMB/MMPB boards occupy two
front and back slots respectively, slots 6 and 8 cannot be configured with other boards.
If SSM-32 frames require only stratum-3 clock signals, no independent CLK boards are
required. If SSM-32 frames require stratum-2 clock signals, independent CLK boards are
required. The CLK boards are fixed to be configured in back slots 0 and 1 in frame 0 or
1.
Common slots are for service processing boards. For a board that requires a
corresponding back board, the slot positions follow the same rule as that in an SSM-256
frame.

The UMG8900 accesses and processes IP/ATM/TDM bearer services, exchanges media
gateway control data with the softswitch, processes media resources and performs adaptation
and transparent transmission of signaling. The UMG8900 also provides auxiliary functions
such as the management and maintenance of the device, the clock and cascading functions.
Based on the functions and the distributed modular architecture, the hardware system of the
UMG8900 can be divided into the media gateway control and management module, TDM
processing module, service resource module, packet processing module, signaling adaptation
module and cascading module.
These modules are described as follows.
When the PPU and CMU boards cooperate to provide the gateway control function, the PPU
resolves and encapsulates the gateway control protocol H.248 while the CMU invokes and
manages the resources within the UMG8900 based on the gateway control messages.
The physical board corresponding to the PPU is the MPPB. The physical boards
corresponding to the CMU are the MCMF and MCMB. The physical boards corresponding to
the OMU are the MOMU and MOMB. The physical boards corresponding to the MPU are the
MMPU and MMPB. The MOMU/MMPU can only be configured in the SSM-256 frame
while the MOMB/MMPB can only be in the SSM-32 frame.
The MOMB/MMPB can be equipped with the SCMU subboard to improve the processing
capability and implement the functions of the CMU/PPU.
The UMG8900 supports two clock modes. One mode is to provide the clock through the CLK
boards, which can provide stratum-2 or stratum-3 clock signals. The other mode is to provide
the clock through the TNU (MTNC) boards, which can provide only stratum-3 clock and can
only be configured in the SSM-32 frame.
The TDM switching module mainly includes the TNU boards. In the SSM-256 frame, the
corresponding physical boards are the MTNU, TCLU and MTNB. In the SSM-32 frame, the
corresponding physical board is the MTNC. The TNC falls into UG01TNC and UG02TNC.
The UG01TNC provides the 32 K TDM switching capability, and the UG02TNC provides the
96 K TDM switching capability.
Host software
BAM LMT
The UMG8900 software system consists of two main parts: host software and LMT. The host
software is responsible for bearer service processing, lower-layer base software and hardware
management. The LMT software and BAM module of the host software, designed in
client/server infrastructure, are responsible for routine maintenance and management of the
host machine.
The directory of the software system consists of the LMT file directory and the BAM file
directory.
Hardware platform
This chapter describes the services, basic functions and common networking that the
UMG8900 supports.
The following table lists the contents of this chapter.
Title Description
4.1 Services Describes services that the UMG8900 can implement
4.2 Functions Describes functions supported by the UMG8900
4.3 Network Applications Describes the networking applications of the UMG8900
4.4 Networking Examples Provides the typical networking examples of the
UMG8900
4.1 Services
4.1.1 Basic Bearer Services
Voice services include broadband and narrowband voice services. Broadband voice is
represented in AMR format supporting multiple codec rates. Narrowband voice, the
traditional TDM voice, is a type of circuit switched service. Voice services can also be
classified to ordinary telephone and emergent telephone services.
The CS domain bearer services provided by the UMG8900 include:
G.711 voice services and AMR voice services at the rates of 12.2 kbit/s, 10.2 kbit/s, 7.95
kbit/s, 7.4 kbit/s, 6.7 kbit/s, 5.9 kbit/s, 5.15 kbit/s, and 4.75 kbit/s, GSM HR/FR/EFR
voice services, AMR2 voice services, and WB-AMR voice services
Data transparent transmission at the rates of 64 kbit/s, 32 kbit/s, and 28.8 k bit/s
Non-transparent data services at the rates of 57.6 kbit/s, 28.8 kbit/s, and14.4 kbit/s
G.711 services over IP
4.2 Functions
4.2.1 QoS Insurance
The UMG8900 focuses on providing real-time voice services in a UMTS network. For voice
services, some requirements on the QoS must be met. The UMG8900 provides the following
measures to ensure voice quality:
Supporting IP differentiated services (IP DiffServ), IP ToS and IP DSCP
Supporting priority queue of upstream data and treating services differently in terms of
handling order
4.2.3 Embedded SG
The UMG8900 supports the embedded SG function to adapt the signaling of the circuit
switched network to that of the IP packet network.
The UMG8900 can access the signaling of a BSC, MSC and PSTN switch. After adaptation,
the UMG8900 forwards the signaling to the MSC server. This function can optimize the
network topology and reduce networking cost.
4.2.6 LICENSE
Traditional expansion is through the adding of hardware. You can buy different numbers of
frames and boards to obtain corresponding capacities. In addition, you may want to operate a
small system with less investment at the initial stage of network construction. Therefore, a
method through software, namely, LICENSE, is required to provide more accurate capacity
control.
In addition, you can acquire enhanced functions and services by buying LICENSE. Thus, you
can provide related value-added services. With the LICENSE function, you can flexibly
choose the network functions that fit a specific stage based on actual requirements. Thus, you
can protect your investment to the most extent.
4.2.7 TrFO/TFO
Transcode free operation (TrFO) is a type of out-band transcoding control operation. In the
TrFO mode, the end-to-end negotiation is completed at the control plane before a call
connection is set up. After the negotiation, the amount of transcoders in the call channel is
reduced to improve voice quality.
In the TrFO mode, if the negotiation succeeds, no TC resource need be allocated. No TC
resource need participate in the negotiation process either. The TrFO is defined in 3rd
Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) R4 specifications.
Tandem free operation (TFO) is a type of in-band transcoding control operation. It is
configured for the two transcoders that both support the TFO. When the codec types of two
transcoders are matched, this function enables in-band negotiation about codec selection
instead of codecs conversion, thus improving voice quality. This function is defined in 3GPP
R99 and GSM specifications.
In the TFO mode, each channel must occupy TC resources for negotiation. However, the
occupied TC resources need not participate in the transcoding. The TFO is defined in 3GPP
R99 and GSM specifications.
The UMG8900 supports both the TrFO and TFO functions.
4.2.8 IPoE1
The UMG8900 supports transmission of packets in the IPoE1 mode. In this way, the existing
TDM network can be fully utilized, the IP-based transmission mode can be quickly
introduced, and investment on future network evolution and capacity expansion can be
reduced.
When services are transmitted in the IPoE1 mode, the UMG8900 supports compression of the
RTP protocol and thus decreases the bandwidth utilization. The UMG8900 supports the
standard RFC2508 compression and the enhanced RFC3545 compression.
At present, the UMG8900 provides the Mc interface, Nb interface and OMC interface for
service transmission in the IPoE1 mode.
BSC
BTS
Mc Mc
PSTN
UMG8900 UMG8900 LE
BTS MSC GMSC
In this networking mode, the UMG8900 and MSC server act as one device. They connect
with each other through the internal interface or standard Mc interface.
In a GSM-R network, TDM/AIM/IP connections are used between MSCs in the core network,
between the MSC of the core network and the BSC of the access network, and between the
core network and PSTN.
For the voice service streams from the access network, the UMG8900 accesses them to the
core network by TDM. For the voice service streams between devices in the core network, the
existing TDM network can be used or the VoIP function of the UMG8900 can be used to
realize the VoIP connection in the core network.
The call control signaling of Base Station Subsystem Application Part (BSSAP) from the
access network can be sent to the MSC server directly through the independent signaling
trunks between the MSC server and BSC. The signaling can also be forwarded to the MSC
server through the SG embedded in the UMG8900 or TDM semi-permanent connections of
the UMG8900.
The signaling between MSCs in the core network is exchanged based on ISDN User Part
(ISUP) or Telephone User Part (TUP). The signaling can be transmitted over TDM links
between MSC servers, through the SG embedded in the UMG8900 or TDM semi-permanent
connections of the UMG8900.
When the UMG8900 and MSC server are combined to work as a GSM gateway exchange, the
UMG8900 receives voice service streams from an external network such as the PSTN through
the TDM interfaces. The signaling is sent to the MSC server by an independent SG or through
direct connections to the MSC server. The signaling can also be forwarded to the MSC server
through the SG embedded in the UMG8900.
The UMG8900 supports complete SG functions. The UMG8900 can forward the signaling of
the access network or Signaling System No.7 (SS7) of the PSTN to the MSC server based on
M2UA/M3UA.
GTSOFTX3000
TMSC TMSC
MSC
UMG8900
MSC
In the commercial GSM network, Huawei UMG8900 and MSC server work together as a
VMSC in the local exchange for network expansion and connect with two new BSCs. This
networking reduces call loss due to the increase of network users and improves the quality of
service.
The UMG8900 and MSC server are placed in a same equipment room and connect with each
other through LAN Switches. The embedded SG of the UMG8900 forwards all the signaling
of the access network to the MSC server. At the same time, the UMG8900 can also forward
signaling upstream to the TMSC and complete service connection.
5 Reliability
The reliability of a telecommunication device is the key factor. The reliability design usually
involves three aspects: system reliability, hardware reliability, and software reliability.
Based on the basic requirements of reliability design, this chapter describes some designs and
applications of the UMG8900 in the respect of reliability. Through this chapter, you can learn
some basic features and applications of the UMG8900 in the respect of reliability design.
The following table lists the contents of this chapter.
Title Description
5.1 System Reliability Describes the system reliability of the UMG8900
5.2 Hardware Reliability Describes the hardware reliability of the UMG8900
5.3 Software Reliability Describes the software reliability of the UMG8900
Redundancy Design
The UMG8900 supports master/slave switchover, load sharing and resource pool.
Power module: works in the master/slave mode and ensures the normal running of the
system in case one fails.
The CLK, NET, OMU and MPU: work in the master/slave (1+1 backup) mode. If the
master board fails, the slave one becomes active to ensure the normal running of the
system.
Service boards: work in the 1+1 backup, load sharing or resource pool mode. Two or
more boards jointly implement functions. If one of them fails, other boards take over the
tasks of the failed board if a certain performance index such as call loss is satisfied.
Derating Design
The derating design is to reduce the stress on electronic components to be lower than the rated
values. The purpose is to slow down parameter degrading, extend lifespan and improve the
system reliability. The derating design is usually applied to reducing the rated values of
electric stress and heat stress.
Heat Design
As product performance may be affected by temperature, component selection, circuit design
(such as tolerance design, drift design and rated value derating design), structure design and
dissipation design are applied to a product in order to make it work reliably in a wide
temperature range. The UMG8900 provides special structures and dissipation measures to
lower temperature.
Maintainability Design
The purpose of maintainability design is to realize certain maintenance goals in terms of
quality and quantity especially to reduce time cost in maintenance. It is measured by the
simplification degree of product design and maintenance, reachability, standardization,
replaceability, modularization, error-free design, identification, testability, diagnosis
technology, human and environment factors and so on. To achieve certain maintenance
goals, the UMG8900 adopts the following measures.
Hot-swappable boards to reduce time used for replacing them.
Backward cabling for the convenience of module assembly and disassembly.
Detection and alarm report functions to detect and report faults timely.
A convenient and friendly man-machine language (MML) operation terminal to facilitate
maintenance personnel to locate and remove faults as soon as possible
Switchover mechanism: The switchover between the master and slave boards is
accomplished through two cross-connected signals. The two signals are the output signal
that indicates the local board is valid and the input signal that indicates the peer board is
valid. The former signal is generated by heartbeat detecting circuits.
Dual-channel backup: The UMG8900 supports the cascading mode. Cascading boards
are used to implement the master/slave dual-channel connections between cascaded
frames. Cascading modules can check the status of the channels through hardware to
increase the reliability and speed of cascading switchover effectively.
Task Monitoring
There are always output channels for software errors and some hardware faults during the
software running. This monitoring process is to oversee task running and reporting
abnormality.
Storage Protection
The paragraph and page protection mechanism of CPU memory management unit (MMU) is
enabled to save codes and important data. This mechanism also provides such functions as
online query, variable and data modification and memory area monitor.
Data Check
Data consistency checks are implemented on a periodic or event-driven basis. If inconsistency
is found, data consistency can be recovered in a priority order or other orders and then logs
and alarms can be output.
Isolation Mechanism
With this mechanism, when an entity is unable to implement a certain function, the function
will be fulfilled by other entities.
6 OAM System
Operation and maintenance functions are basic requirements for users to manage and maintain
the device. An easy and flexible mode for operation and maintenance can reduce the
operational expenditure (OPEX) of the device.
This chapter describes the components and functions of the UMG8900 operation,
administration and maintenance (OAM) system. Through this chapter, you can learn the basic
architecture, modules and functions of the UMG8900 OAM system.
The following table lists the contents of this chapter.

The OAM system is designed based on the client/server structure. The UMG8900 host acts as
the server, and the LMT as the client. The LMT is responsible for management and
maintenance on the UMG8900.
The UMG8900 supports local and remote maintenance through the LMT. The UMG8900
provides interfaces with the iManager M2000 integrated network management system
(hereinafter referred to as iManager M2000). The iManager M2000 can implement central
management on all devices in the network. The iManager M2000 consists of one iManager
M2000 server and multiple iManager M2000 clients.
6.1.1 LMT
With the graphic user interface (GUI), the LMT offers the following functions:
Device configuration and management
Service maintenance
Performance statistics
Service tracing
Security management
Troubleshooting
The LMT and the BAM of the OMU are connected in the standard client/server structure.
The BAM supports device management and provides external interfaces for management.
Because the BAM applies the industry-popular real-time and distribution operation system,
the service processing capability and response speed are greatly improved.
The BAM connects and manages other functional units through the FAM.
The LMT provides friendly GUI and abundant online help information. At the LMT, you can
get information about command functions and parameter meaning any time, as well as alarm
meaning, handling suggestions and so on.
The LMT can manage multiple UMG8900s simultaneously. It provides external alarm boxes
to report alarms with audio and optical signals. It can also send short messages to notify alarm
information to maintenance technicians.
To ensure reliable connection between the LMT and UMG8900, a dual plane design is used,
as shown in Figure 6-2.

The master and slave OMBs of the UMG8900 are both connected to the LAN Switch through
standard cables. The LMT system communicates with the UMG8900 host also through the
LAN Switch.
During communication, only the master OMB board is working. When the master board fails,
the slave OMB becomes active and connects to the LMT. The master and slave OMBs
provide only one operation and maintenance center (OMC) interface for the outside.
The back TNC provides OMC interfaces of the OMB to meet the requirements of rear cabling.
