IP RAN 2 Overview of IP RAN

2 Overview of IP RAN
IP RAN is a feature based on which the Radio Access Network (RAN) can use the IP transport network
as the data bearers over the Iub, Iur, and Iu interfaces.
IP RAN brings the following advantages:
z IP transport features high bandwidth and low cost, thus easily meeting the requirements of data
services for high bandwidth and enabling operators to introduce new services as required.
z IP transport enables operators to utilize the existing IP-based networks flexibly, thus reducing the
costs of network deployment and maintenance.
z IP transport keeps pace with the evolution towards all-IP, thus reducing the network evolution cost.
z With the application of the multi-mode base station controller, IP-based common transport can be
implemented on the GSM and UMTS interfaces.

3 Protocol Stacks
3.1 Overview
RAN uses IP transport to carry upper-layer data over the following terrestrial interfaces:
z Iub interface
z Iu-CS interface
z Iu-PS interface
z Iur interface
Here, the Iub interface supports two transport modes: Iub over IP and Iub over IP&ATM.
 This section describes the protocol stacks of the preceding interfaces and the relevant parameter
settings.

3.2 Iub over IP


 The Iub interface connects the RNC and the NodeB. When the Iub over IP protocol stack is used, the
data in the control and user planes of the Iub interface is transported over IP (WRFD-050402 IP
 Transmission Introduction on Iub Interface).

3.2.1 Protocol Stack


Figure 3-1 shows the Iub over IP protocol stack.

Error! Style not defined.Error! Style not defined. IP RAN

 The application protocol for the control plane of the Iub interface is the NodeB Application Part
(NBAP). NBAP is responsible for the transport of control plane messages between the NodeB and
the controlling RNC (CRNC) at the radio network layer.
When Iub over IP is used, NBAP is carried on the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) link.
z User plane
 The application protocols for the user plane of the Iub interface are a series of frame protocols: DCH
FP , RACH FP , FACH FP , PCH FP, HS-DSCH FP, and E-DCH FP. These protocols are responsible
for the transport of data and control frames between the NodeB and the CRNC. These frames contain
Uu interface user data and user-related control data.
When Iub over IP is used, the user plane data on the Iub interface is carried on the IP path.
 The data link layer of Iub over IP supports the following transport modes: IP over E1/T1, IP over E1/T1
over SDH, IP over SDH, and IP over Ethernet.

3.2.2 Transport Mode Configuration


 To enable Iub over IP, set the following parameters on the RNC side:
z  The TnlBearerType parameter is set to IP_TRANS or HYBRID_IP_TRANS. If the TnlBearerType
parameter is set to HYBRID_IP_TRANS, the IPTRANSAPARTIND parameter must be set to
SUPPORT or NOT_SUPPORT to specify whether to support hybrid IP transport.
z  The NODET parameter is set to IUB.
z  The TRANST parameter is set to IP.
 You also need to set the Bearing Mode (MODE) parameter to IPV4 on the NodeB side if E1/T1 is used
for transport at the physical layer.

3.2.3 SCTP Link Configuration


 The Iub control plane has two types of control ports: NodeB control port (NCP) and communication
control port (CCP).
 The NCP and CCP carry different types of Iub interface signaling messages, as listed in Table 3-1.
Table 3-1 Description of the NCP and CCP

Port Description Quantity

NCP Carries common process messages of NBAP One Iub interface has only one NCP.
over the Iub interface
CCP Carries dedicated process messages of NBAP One Iub interface may have multiple
over the Iub interface CCPs. The number of CCPs depends on
the network planning.

When Iub over IP is used, the NCP and CCP are carried on different SCTP links. An SCTP link is jointly
specified by the local SCTP port No., local IP address, peer SCTP port No., and peer IP address.

SCTP Link Configuration on the RNC Side


 The parameters for establishing an SCTP link on the RNC side are as follows:
z MODE: When Iub over IP is used, the MODE parameter on the RNC side must be set to SERVER.

WCDMA RAN
IP RAN Error! Style not defined.Error! Style not defined.

z LOCIP1: When SCTP multi-homing is not used, this parameter specifies the IP address of the SCTP
link on the RNC side. When SCTP multi-homing is used, this parameter and PEERIP1 determine the
main path of the SCTP link.
z LOCIP2: This parameter specifies the second IP address of the SCTP link on the RNC side. This
parameter is set only when SCTP multi-homing is used.
z LOCPN: This parameter specifies the local port number only when the RNC functions as the client.
For the SCTP link on the Iub interface, the RNC functions as the server and thus this parameter need
not be set. For the SCTP link on the Iu interface, generally the RNC functions as the client and the
CN node functions as the server.
z NBAPSRVPN: This parameter specifies the local port number when the RNC functions as the server.
 The RNC uses the NBAP service listening port to listen to the requests from the NodeB for
establishing the SCTP link. Note that the PEERPORT parameter for the SCTP link on the NodeB side
should be set to the same value as the NBAPSRVPN parameter on the RNC side.
z PEERIP1: When SCTP multi-homing is not used, this parameter specifies the peer (that is, NodeB) IP
address of the SCTP link. When SCTP multi-homing is used, this parameter and LOCIP1 determine
the main path of the SCTP link.
z PEERIP2: This parameter specifies the second peer IP address of the SCTP link. This parameter is
set only when SCTP multi-homing is used.
z PEERPN: This parameter specifies the peer port number of the SCTP link.
z DSCP: This parameter specifies the priority of a signaling message. The default value is 48. It is
recommended that the default value be used.
z CROSSIPFLAG: This parameter specifies whether the cross paths of the SCTP link is available. This
parameter is set only when SCTP multi-homing is used.

z If one of the LOCIP2 and PEERIP2 parameters is set, the other must also be set.
z In the case of SCTP multi-homing, the two IP addresses of one SCTP link on the RNC side may belong to the same
interface board or different interface boards, whereas the two IP addresses on the NodeB side must belong to the
same interface board.

 The parameters for establishing an NCP or CCP are as follows:


z CARRYLNKT: This parameter specifies whether the bearer link type of the NCP or CCP is SAAL,
SCTP, or SAAL-SCTP. When Iub over IP is used, this parameter must be set to SCTP, which
indicates that the NCP or CCP is carried on the SCTP link.
z SCTPLNKN: This parameter specifies the number of the SCTP link that carries the NCP or CCP.

SCTP Link Configuration on the NodeB Side


 The parameters for establishing an SCTP link on the NodeB side are as follows:
z LOCIP: When SCTP multi-homing is not used, this parameter specifies the IP address of the SCTP
link on the NodeB side. When SCTP multi-homing is used, this parameter and PEERIP determine the
main path of the SCTP link. This parameter should be set to the same value as the PEERIP1
parameter on the RNC side.
z SECLOCIP: This parameter specifies the second IP address of the SCTP link on the NodeB side.
 This parameter is set only when SCTP multi-homing is used. This parameter should be set to the
same value as the PEERIP2 parameter on the RNC side.
z PEERIP: When SCTP multi-homing is not used, this parameter specifies the peer (that is, RNC) IP
address of the SCTP link. When SCTP multi-homing is used, this parameter and LOCIP determine
the main path of the SCTP link. This parameter should be set to the same value as the LOCIP1
parameter on the RNC side.

z SECPEERIP: This parameter specifies the second peer (that is, RNC) IP address of the SCTP link.
 This parameter is set only when SCTP multi-homing is used. This parameter should be set to the
same value as the LOCIP2 parameter on the RNC side.
z LOCPORT: This parameter specifies the local port number of the SCTP link. This parameter should
be set to the same value as the PEERPN parameter on the RNC side.
z PEERPORT: This parameter specifies the peer port number of the SCTP link. This parameter should
be set to the same value as the NBAPSRVPN parameter on the RNC side.
When the NCP and CCP are added, the BEAR parameter should be set to IPV4, which indicates that
the NCP and CCP are carried on the SCTP links.

3.2.4 IP Path Configuration


When Iub over IP is used, the user plane data on the Iub interface is carried on the IP path. At least one
IP path is required between one RNC and one NodeB. It is recommended that more than one IP path
be configured. Different priorities are assigned to IP paths for the provisioning of differentiated services.
For details, see the Transmission Resource Management Feature Parameter Description.
For example, four IP paths are configured between the RNC and the NodeB to share the physical
transmission bandwidth on the Iub interface, as shown in Figure 3-2.
 These IP paths are specified to carry the R99 RT, R99 NRT, HSPA RT, and HSPA NRT services
respectively by setting the following:
z PATHT parameter
z Mapping between services and Per-Hop Behaviors (PHBs)
z Mapping between PHBs and DSCPs

 The mapping between services and PHBs is contained in the transmission resource management (TRM) mapping table,
which is set through the ADD TRMMAP command. The mapping between PHBs and DSCPs is set through the SET
PHBMAP command.

Figure 3-2 IP paths on the Iub interface

In this case, the interface boards of the RNC and NodeB provide differentiated scheduling according to
the value of differentiated service code point (DSCP). In the case of transmission congestion, the high-
priority RT service data is preferentially transmitted and the low-priority NRT service data is buffered. In
the case of buffer overflow, the low-priority NRT service data is discarded. The intermediate transport
network also provides differentiated services according to the DSCP value in the IP header.

IP Path Configuration on the RNC Side


 The parameters for establishing an IP path on the RNC side are as follows:

WCDMA RAN
IP RAN Error! Style not defined.Error! Style not defined.

z IPADDR: This parameter specifies the local IP address of the IP path on the RNC side. This IP
address is used for the user plane of the Iub interface. This IP address can be the port IP address or
device IP address. For descriptions of the port IP address and device IP address, see the IP
Transport Architecture Description. The control and user planes of the RNC-related interfaces (Iub, Iur,
Iu-CS, and Iu-PS) can share one IP address.
z PEERIPADDR: This parameter specifies the peer IP address of the IP path. For the Iub interface, this
parameter must be set to the same value as the NODEBIP parameter on the NodeB side.
z PEERMASK: This parameter specifies the peer subnet mask. The default value of this parameter is
255.255.255.255, which indicates that the peer IP address of the IP path is a host IP address. If the
peer IP address of the IP path is a network segment IP address, this parameter needs to be re-set.
z PATHT: This parameter specifies the type of an IP path. Different types of IP paths can be configured
between the RNC and the NodeB. Different types of services are mapped to different types of IP
paths. For details, see the Transmission Resource Management Feature Parameter Description.
z TXBW: This parameter specifies the bandwidth for admission control on an IP path in the
transmission direction.
z RXBW: This parameter specifies the bandwidth for admission control on an IP path in the reception
direction.

IP Path Configuration on the NodeB Side


 The parameters for establishing an IP path on the NodeB side are as follows:
z PT: This parameter specifies the type of the port that carries the IP path. It can be PPP link, MLPPP
group, or Ethernet port.
z NODEBIP: This parameter specifies the IP address of the IP path on the NodeB side. This IP address
is used for the user plane of the Iub interface. This IP address can be the port IP address or device IP
address. Generally, the port IP address is used.
z RNCIP: This parameter specifies the peer (that is, RNC) IP address of the IP path. This parameter
should be set to the same value as the IPADDR parameter on the RNC side.
z DSCP: This parameter specifies the DSCP value of the IP path on the NodeB side.

3.2.5 OM Channel Configuration


An operation and maintenance (OM) channel exists between the M2000 and the NodeB. It is used to
maintain and configure the NodeB remotely.
 There are two methods of configuring routes for the OM channel on the Iub interface:
z M2000<—>RNC<—>NodeB: Routes are configured between the M2000 and the NodeB through the
RNC. In this case, routes need to be configured on the M2000, RNC, and NodeB.
z M2000<—>NodeB: Routes are configured between the M2000 and the NodeB but not through the
RNC. If the OM subnet where the M2000 is located is connected to the IP network that covers the
NodeB, the M2000 and the NodeB can be directly networked without the RNC. In this case, routes
need to be configured on only the M2000 and NodeB.
Figure 3-3 shows an example of OM channel in the case of M2000<—>RNC<—>NodeB in layer 2
networking. In layer 3 networking, two adjacent devices communicate with each other through routers.
In addition, the OM IP addresses of the BTS3900, BTS3900A, and DBS3900 can be the same as either
the control plane IP address or the user plane IP address. The shared IP address must be the interface
IP address. This single IP function of the NodeB (WRFD-021404 Single IP Address for NodeB) is
supported in the following scenarios:
z  The 3900 series base station is configured with one WMPT board and the WMPT has one or multiple
IP interfaces. In this case, the OM IP address of the base station can be the same as the IP address

of one of the interfaces. If active and standby OM IP addresses are used, the two OM IP addresses can
be the same as the IP addresses of the two IP interfaces respectively.
z  The 3900 series base station is configured with one WMPT board and one UTRP board. Both the
boards have one or more IP interfaces. In this case, the OM IP address of the base station can be the
same as the IP address of one IP interface on the WMPT board. If active and standby OM IP
addresses are applied, the two OM IP addresses can be the same as the IP addresses of the two IP
interfaces on the WMPT board respectively; however, the OM IP address cannot be the same as the IP
addresses of any IP interface on the UTRP board.
Note:

NodeB IP addresses involve the control plane IP address, user plane IP address, and NodeB maintenance
IP address. Generally, the control plane IP address and the user plane IP address are the same, that is, the
IP address of the interface. The maintenance IP address must be different from the IP address of the
interface.

Figure 3-4 shows an example of OM channel in the case of M2000<—>NodeB.


Figure 3-4 OM channel in the case of M2000<—>NodeB

When Iub over IP is used, the RNC adopts the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) function to
enable the restarted NodeB to automatically obtain the network address information and establish an
OM channel. For details about the DHCP function, see the NodeB Self-discovery.

OM Channel Configuration on the RNC Side


 The parameters for establishing an OM channel on the RNC side are as follows:
z NBTRANTP: This parameter specifies the OM IP address of the NodeB in IP transport. The OM IP
address can be the port IP address or device IP address. For the BTS3900, BTS3900A, and
DBS3900, the control plane, user plane, and OM of the Iub interface can share one IP address.
z NBIPOAMMASK: This parameter specifies the mask of the subnet where the OM IP address of the
NodeB is located in IP transport.
IP routes need to be configured for the OM channel according to the actual networking conditions.

OM Channel Configuration on the NodeB Side


 The parameters for establishing an OM channel on the NodeB side are as follows:
z IP: This parameter specifies the local OM IP address.

z MASK: This parameter specifies the local OM subnet mask.


z PEERIP: This parameter specifies the peer IP address.
z PEERMASK: This parameter specifies the peer subnet mask.
z BEAR: This parameter specifies the bearer type (ATM or IPV4). If this parameter is set to ATM, the
IPoA mode is used. If this parameter is set to IPV4, the IP mode is used.
IP routes need to be configured for the OM channel according to the actual networking conditions.

3.2.6 Other Data Configuration


 To enable Iub over IP, the following data should also be configured: physical layer data, data link layer
data, TRM mapping table, and activation factor table.
For details about these configurations, see the BSC6900 UMTS Initial Configuration Guide and the
NodeB Initial Configuration Guide .

3.3 Iub over IP&ATM


 The Iub interface connects the RNC and the NodeB. When the Iub interface adopts hybrid ATM/IP
transport, the Iub over IP&ATM protocol stack is used (WRFD-050404 ATM/IP Dual Stack Node B).

3.3.1 Protocol Stack


Figure 3-5 shows the Iub over IP&ATM protocol stack.
Figure 3-5 Iub over IP&ATM protocol stack

When Iub over IP&ATM is used, the RNC supports the following transport modes at the data link layer:

Issue 01 (2010-03-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 3-7

z IP: IP over E1/T1, IP over channelized STM-1/OC-3, IP over FE, IP over GE, and IP over
unchannelized STM-1/OC-3c
z ATM: ATM over E1/T1, ATM over channelized STM-1/OC-3, and ATM over unchannelized STM-1/OC-
3c
When Iub over IP&ATM is used, the BTS3900, BTS3900A, and DBS3900 support the following
transport modes at the data link layer:
z IP: IP over E1/T1, IP over FE, and IP over GE
z ATM: ATM over E1/T1 and ATM over unchannelized STM-1/OC-3c
When Iub over IP&ATM is used, the 3800 series NodeBs and V1-platform-based NodeBs support the
following transport modes at the data link layer:
z IP: IP over E1/T1 and IP over FE
z ATM: ATM over E1/T1, ATM over channelized STM-1/OC-3, and ATM over unchannelized STM-1/OC-
3c

Control Plane
 The application protocol for the control plane of the Iub interface is the NBAP. NBAP is responsible for
the transport of control plane messages between the NodeB and the CRNC at the radio network layer.
When Iub over IP&ATM is used, the control plane can be configured as the active/standby mode (SAAL
and SCTP) to improve the transport reliability. The NCP configuration principle is the same as the CCP
configuration principle. Figure 3-6 takes the NCP as an example to show the active/standby mode in the
control plane in the case of Iub over IP &ATM.
Figure 3-6 Active/standby mode in the control plane in the case of Iub over IP &ATM

When the NCP and CCP are added, the CARRYLNKT parameter should be set on the RNC side to
specify the bearer mode in the control plane. If this parameter is set to SAAL-SCTP, the active/standby
mode (SAAL and SCTP) is used. If this parameter is set to SAAL or SCTP, the NCP and CCP are
carried on the SAAL link or the SCTP link.
In active/standby mode, one SAAL link and one SCTP link are configured for each NCP and CCP. On
the RNC side, the MAINLINK parameter specifies the active link. On the NodeB side, the FLAG
parameter specifies the active link.
 The NCP and CCP data is preferentially transmitted on the active link. If the active link is unavailable,
the data is automatically transferred to the standby link for transmission. After the active link becomes
available, the ES parameter on the NodeB side can be used to specify whether the data is automatically
transferred back to the active link for transmission.

User Plane
 The radio network user plane of the Iub interface uses a series of frame protocols: DCH FP, RACH FP,
FACH FP, PCH FP, HS-DSCH FP, and E-DCH FP. These protocols are responsible for the transport of 
data and control frames between the NodeB and the CRNC. These frames contain Uu interface user
data and user-related control data.
When Iub over IP&ATM is used, the user plane can be configured as the active/standby mode (AAL2
path and IP path) to improve the transport reliability. Figure 3-7 shows the active/standby mode in the
user plane in the case of Iub over IP&ATM.
Figure 3-7 Active/standby mode in the user plane in the case of Iub over IP&ATM

On the Iub interface, several IP paths and AAL2 paths can be configured simultaneously. The type of 
every path should be specified. On the RNC side, the PATHT parameter is used to specify the type of 
an IP path and the AAL2PATHT parameter is used to specify the type of an AAL2 path.
By configuring the TRM mapping table through the execution of the ADD TRMMAP command, the main
path and standby path that carry each type of service can be specified. For example, the
VOICEPRIPATH, and VOICESECPATH parameters should be set for AMR voice services. The RNC
provides the default mapping relations for transmission resources.
When the RNC performs admission control on a new call, it preferentially uses the main path. If the
admission of the new call fails on the main path, the RNC tries the standby path. For details, see the
Transmission Resource Management Feature Parameter Description.

If an AAL2 path or an IP path is unavailable, the services carried on this path are disrupted. New service requests are
established on the available path according to the TRM mapping table.

3.3.2 Trasnport Mode Configuration


 To enable Iub over IP&ATM, set the following parameters on the RNC side:
z  The TnlBearerType parameter is set to ATMANDIP_TRANS.
z  The NODET parameter is set to IUB.
z  The TRANST parameter is set to ATM_IP.

3.3.3 Control Plane Link Configuration


SCTP Link
 The parameter settings related to the SCTP link on the RNC and NodeB sides for Iub over IP&ATM are
similar to those of Iub over IP. For details, see section3.2.3 "SCTP Link."

SAAL Link
 The SAAL link of User Network Interface (UNI) type is used to carry signaling messages on the Iub
interface. The signaling messages are classified into NCP, CCP, and ALCAP, as described in Table 3-2.
Table 3-2 Signaling messages carried on an SAAL link of UNI type

Type Description

NCP An NCP carries common process messages of NBAP over the Iub interface. The Iub interface
has only one NCP.
CCP A CCP carries dedicated process messages of NBAP over the Iub interface. The Iub interface
may have multiple CCPs. The number of CCPs depends on the network planning.
ALCAP The ALCAP is also called Q.AAL2. If a call connection is required on the AAL2 path between
the RNC and the NodeB, the AAL2 path ID and CID information is exchanged through the
ALCAP.
If the ATM network is unavailable and all the services are established on the IP path, the
ALCAP is not required for signaling exchange. Therefore, the ALCAP must be carried by the
SAAL link alone instead of by both the SAAL link and the SCTP link.

 The parameters for establishing an SAAL link on the RNC side are as follows:
z SAALLNKT: This parameter specifies the type of an SAAL link. SAAL links are classified into the UNI
link and the NNI link. The UNI link is used for the Iub interface and the NNI link is used for the Iur and
Iu interfaces.
z CARRYVPI: This parameter specifies the VPI value of an SAAL link.
z CARRYVCI: This parameter specifies the VCI value of an SAAL link.

 The parameters for establishing an SAAL link on the NodeB side are as follows:
z VPI: This parameter specifies the VPI value of an SAAL link.
z VCI: This parameter specifies the VCI value of an SAAL link.

 The PVC identifier (VPI/VCI) of the SAAL link and other PVC attributes are negotiated between the
RNC and the NodeB.

3.3.4 User Plane Path Configuration


IP Path
 The parameter settings related to the IP path on the RNC and NodeB sides for Iub over IP&ATM are
similar to those of Iub over IP. For details, see section3.2.4 "IP P ath."

IP RAN Error! Style not defined.Error! Style not defined.

AAL2 Path
An AAL2 path is a permanent virtual channel (PVC) between the AAL2 entity of the RNC and the AAL2
entity of the NodeB. The PVC identifier (VPI/VCI) and other PVC attributes are negotiated between the
RNC and the NodeB.
 The parameters for establishing an AAL2 path on the RNC side are as follows:
z ANI: This parameter specifies the ID of an adjacent node. Each NodeB in the RNC and adjacent
RNCs, MGWs, and SGSNs have an adjacent node ID.
z PATHID: This parameter specifies the ID of the AAL2 path that connects the RNC and an adjacent
node. The settings of this parameter are negotiated between the RNC and the NodeB.
 The parameters for establishing an AAL2 path on the NodeB side are as follows:
z NT: This parameter specifies the type of the NodeB that functions as an AAL2 node. It can be set to
HUB, LOCAL, or ADJNODE. LOCAL indicates a leaf NodeB. The AAL2 path is used to establish an
AAL2 connection of this NodeB. HUB and ADJNODE indicate a Hub NodeB. The AAL2 path of HUB
type is located between this NodeB and the upper-level equipment. It is used to receive the RNC
messages required for the lower-level NodeBs to establish a link. The AAL2 path of ADJ NODE type is
located between this NodeB and the lower-level NodeB. It is used to forward the lower-level NodeB
link establishment messages to this NodeB.
z PATHID: This parameter specifies the ID of the AAL2 path that connects the RNC and an adjacent
node. This parameter should be set to the same value as the PATHID parameter on the RNC side.

3.3.5 OM Channel Configuration


 The OM channel between the RNC and the NodeB also supports the dual-stack (IP and ATM) mode. In
actual situations, the OM channel can be based on IP, ATM, or both.
When the OM channel is based on IP and ATM, the parameter settings are as follows:
z  The parameter settings of the IP-based OM channel for Iub over IP&ATM are the same as those for
Iub over IP. For details, see section 3.2.5 "OM Channel."
z  The parameter settings of the ATM-based OM channel for Iub over IP&ATM are the same as those for
Iub over ATM. For details, see the BSC6900 UMTS Initial Configuration Guide and the NodeB Initial
Configuration Guide .

3.3.6 Other Data Configuration


 To enable Iur over IP&ATM, the following data should also be configured: physical layer data, data link
layer data, TRM mapping table, and activation factor table.
For details about these configurations, see the BSC6900 UMTS Initial Configuration Guide and the
NodeB Initial Configuration Guide .

3.4 Iu-CS over IP


 The Iu-CS interface connects the RNC and the MSC or MSC server. When the Iu-CS over IP protocol
stack is used, the data in the control and user planes of the Iu-CS interface is transported over IP
(WRFD-050409 IP Transmission Introduction on Iu Interface).

4 IP RAN Networking
4.1 Overview
 This section describes the IP networking on the terrestrial interfaces of RAN.

4.2 Iub Interface Networking


 The Iub interface supports star, link, and ring topologies. From the perspective of transport bearers, the
Iub interface supports ATM transport networking, IP transport networking (including hybrid IP transport),
and hybrid ATM/IP transport networking.
Sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 describe Iub over IP networking (including hybrid IP transport) and Iub over
IP &ATM networking respectively.

4.2.1 Iub over IP Networking


Based on the data switching technology that is used, IP networking can be classified into layer 2
networking and layer 3 networking. In addition, the Iub interface can use hybrid IP transport networking
to improve the transport reliability of the Iub interface.

Layer 2 Networking
Layer 2 networking is relatively simple because all the network devices are located on the same
network segment. In this case, data is switched by layer 2 devices (for example, LAN switches), and IP
routes need not be configured.
Figure 4-1 shows an example of layer 2 networking in the case of Iub over IP.
Figure 4-1 Example of layer 2 networking in the case of Iub over IP

As shown in Figure 4-1, the NodeBs and the RNC are connected through a layer 2 network. To improve
the transport security of the Iub interface, the RNC uses port backup. The layer 2 network distinguishes
data from different NodeBs according to the VLAN ID. In addition, the layer 2 network provides
differentiated services according to the PRI field in the VLAN tag. If the network is congested, high-
priority packets are scheduled, and low-priority packets are buffered or discarded, as shown in Figure 4-
2.

WCDMA RAN

Figure 4-2 Example of VLAN application on the Iub interface

z IP address configuration
 To facilitate data configuration, on the RNC side a port IP address is configured as the common IP
address of the control plane, user plane, and OM; on the NodeB side a port IP address is configured
as the common IP address of the control and user planes, and another IP address is configured for
the OM. The port IP address and the OM IP address can be located either on the same network
segment or on different network segments. If they are located on the same network segment, the
ARP proxy function of the FE port must be enabled, that is, the ARPPROXY parameter on the NodeB
side must be set to ENABLE.
 The BTS3900, BTS3900A, and DBS3900 support a single IP address for a NodeB. In other words,
the control plane, user plane, and OM of a NodeB can share one IP address.
z IP route configuration
Routes are not required for layer 2 networking.

Layer 3 Networking
In layer 3 networking, the network devices are located on different network segments. In this case, data
is switched by layer 3 devices (for example, routers), and IP routes need to be configured.
Figure 4-3 shows an example of layer 3 networking in the case of Iub over IP.

Figure 4-3 Example of layer 3 networking in the case of Iub over IP

As shown in Figure 4-3, the RNC and the NodeBs are connected through a layer 3 network. To improve
the transport security of the Iub interface, the RNC uses active and standby GE ports to connect to the
two peer GE ports on the layer 3 router. In addition, the layer 3 network provides differentiated services
according to the DSCP value in the IP header. If the network is congested, high-priority packets are
scheduled, and low-priority packets are buffered or discarded.
z IP address configuration
 The two GE ports on the router are configured in the same VLAN and share one VLAN port IP
address (VLAN IF IP shown in Figure 4-3).
 The active and standby GE ports on the RNC side share one IP address, which is on the same
network segment as the VLAN IF IP address of the router. The port IP address on the RNC side
functions as the common IP address of the control plane, user plane, and OM.
On the NodeB side, a port IP address is configured as the common IP address of the control and user
planes, and another IP address is configured for the OM. The port IP address and the OM IP address
can be located either on the same network segment or on different network segments. If they are
located on the same network segment, the ARP proxy function of the FE port must be enabled, that is,
the ARPPROXY parameter on the NodeB side must be set to ENABLE.
 The BTS3900, BTS3900A, and DBS3900 support a single IP address for a NodeB. In other words,
the control plane, user plane, and OM of a NodeB can share one IP address.

A layer-2-enabled router supports the configuration of VLANs. One VLAN has several Ethernet ports and can be
configured with a layer 3 IP address (VLAN IF IP ) for the interworking between VLANs.
z IP route configuration
On the RNC side, routes to the NodeBs need to be configured. The routes are accessible to each
NodeB or to the network segment where several NodeBs are located. For example, as shown in
Figure 4-3, only the route from the RNC to the network segment 10.10.0.0/16 is configured. Through
this route, the RNC communicates with the two NodeBs.
Routes to the RNC should be configured for each NodeB. The configuration of routes for the routers
in the intermediate network depends on the actual networking conditions.

Hybrid IP Transport
 Two networks with different quality of service (QoS) requirements can co-exist on the Iub interface to
achieve hybrid IP transport (WRFD-050403 Hybrid Iub IP Transmission).
Figure 4-4 shows an example of hybrid IP transport.

Figure 4-4 Example of hybrid IP transport

As shown in Figure 4-4, services with different QoS requirements are processed by different networks.
z Low-QoS network (data network, for example, Ethernet): carries low-QoS services such as PS
interactive and background services.
z High-QoS network (TDM network, for example, PDH or SDH network): carries control plane data,
Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, common channel data, CS services, and PS conversational
and streaming services.
In actual networking, the RNC and the NodeB can be connected to two networks through two ports
respectively. Alternatively, they can be connected to the external data device through the same port,
and then the external data device distributes the services to different networks based on the settings of 
the DSCP value and VLAN.
Hybrid IP transport enables flexible processing of the services with different QoS requirements, but it
makes network management complicated.

4.2.2 Iub over IP&ATM Networking


With the development of data services and the introduction of High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), the
bandwidth requirement of the Iub interface is on the increase. The ATM network provides a high QoS,
but it requires high transmission costs. The IP network does not require high transmission costs, but it
provides a relatively low QoS. In this case, Iub over IP&ATM networking is introduced so that services
with different QoS requirements can be processed in different types of networks.
Figure 4-5 shows an example of Iub over IP&ATM networking.
Figure 4-5 Example of Iub over IP&ATM networking

As shown in Figure 4-5, the IP and ATM networks can carry services with different QoS requirements
respectively.
z High-QoS network (ATM network): carries voice services, streaming services, and signaling.

z Low-QoS network (IP network): carries services with low-QoS requirements, such as PS Best Effort
(BE) services.
In actual networking, both the RNC and the NodeB should be configured with ATM interface boards and
IP interface boards, because the RNC and the NodeB are connected to the ATM network through the
ATM interface boards and to the IP network through the IP interface boards.
In Iub over IP&ATM networking, the ATM network can provide a high QoS, and the IP network can
reduce the transmission costs and meet the requirements of high-speed data services on the Iub
interface for high bandwidth. The network maintenance, however, is complex and expensive because
both the ATM and IP networks need to be maintained.

4.3 Iu/Iur Interface Networking


Figure 4-6 shows an example of Iu/Iur over IP networking.
Figure 4-6 Example of Iu/Iur over IP networking

 The IP network shown inFigure 4-6 can be any one of the following networks:
z Layer 2 network, for example, metro Ethernet, VPLS network, and MSTP network
z Layer 3 network, for example, IP network and MPLS VPN
