BSC6910 - Cabinet 1. Subrack: PARCb subracks are used. Boards are installed on
the front and rear sides of the backplane. One subrack
provides 28 slots. Subracks are powered independently.
(The BSC6900 cabinet is powered in a centralized manner.)

BSC6910 - Interconnection Between
Subracks
1. BSC6910 uses the switching board
SCUb of BSC6900. The
interconnection mode between
subracks is the same as the mode
adopted for the BSC6900.

BSC6910 - Slots
1. Each BSC6910 subrack provides 28 slots, among
which there are sixteen 2 x 10GE slots and ten 4 x
GE slots.
4 2. SCUb boards that used as the switching board are
inserted in slots 20 and 21 fixedly.
3. EOMUa boards are inserted in slots 10 to 13 of the
MPS subrack. Those fixed slots are different from
those of the BSC6900.
4. The rear board slot only provides the cable through
for optical fibers. The interface board needs to be
inserted in the rear subrack.
5. This is different in BSC6900. 10GE interface
boards, such as EXOUa, can use slots 16 to 19
and slots 22 to 25. Other interface boards can use
any slots in the rear half of the subrack.
6. Slots 8 and 9 of the MPS subrack are fixedly
configured with one pair of EGPUa boards, forming
1+1 redundancy for resource management of the
entire system.
7. Other EGPUa boards for service processing form a

BSC6910 - Board Resource Pool
In BSC6910, a pair of EGPUa boards are
configured for resource management
processing (RMP) using 1+1 backup.

BSC6910 - UCUP Resource Pool and
Resource Sharing
Resource Sharing (UMTS Only)
1. On UMTS networks, the traffic model changes frequently,
which greatly affects the processing capability of the
CP/UP. BSC6910 supports manual and automatic
capability sharing between the CP and UP.
2. When the EGPUa board is used for UCUP, the multiple
subsystems on the board are used for CP or UP
processing. The CP and UP are dynamically adjusted by
performing the following operations: Stop some
subsystems, then restart these subsystems and enable
them to use new software functions, and add them to a
new resource pool.

1. All CP subsystems in RNC form a CP POOL.
2. All UP subsystems in RNC form a UP POOL.

the status of subsystems and automatically adjust load.
* Introduction to the Automatic NodeB and Cell Allocation in the RNC Feature describes this feature.
* This feature is only applied in UMTS networks. This feature is not supported by GSM networks because the traffic model on GSM
networks is relatively table.

1. The UMTS dimensioning principles of BSC6910 is basically the same as BSC6900. The only
difference is that the dimension of an SPUb board and DPUe board is replaced by the
dimension of a EGPUa board.
2. The number of EGPUa boards on the CP and UP are calculated separately based on the
capability requirements of the network on the CP and UP. The following formula is used:
3. Total number of EGPUa boards = Number of EGPUa boards used on the CP + Number of
EGPUa boards used on the UP + One backup EGPUa board at least + Two EGPUa boards
used for resource management
4. The CPU overload threshold of the BSC6910 is 70%

BSC6910 - Hardware Capacity License
The license control mechanism of BSC6910 is basically the same as BSC6900, including
feature licenses, system capacity licenses, and hardware licenses.
The feature license functions based on features and is basically the same as that of the
BSC6900. (For details about the features supported by the BSC6910 and features not
supported by the BSC6910 but supported by the BSC6900, see the Feature List in RAN15.0.)
The system capacity license has the same dimension as that of BSC6900. By default, 1 CS
Erlang is equal to 64 kbit/s PS throughput in the BSC6900. In the BSC6910, 1 CS Erlang is
equal to 24.4 kbit/s PS throughput. The conversion coefficient in the BSC6910 is commonly
used. If only the PS traffic capacity is for sales, the conversion coefficient customized for sales
is used.
The new EGPUa board has a larger capacity and can be shared by the GSM and UMTS. A
hardware license is required to control the board capacity. The hardware license is similar to
that of the DPUe board of the BSC6900. The major difference is that the DPUe board has 335
Mbit/s capacity when the hardware license is not activated, while the EGPUa board has no
capacity if the hardware license is not activated. Hardware licenses include:
3G:
-Hardware capacity sold based on every 50 Mbit/s throughput on the RNC
-Hardware capacity sold based on every 1000 active users on the RNC (active users
refers to online users in the CELL_DCH state and CELL_FACH state.)
2G:
-Hardware capacity sold based on every TRX on the BSC
-Hardware capacity sold based on every PDCH on the BSC

BSC6910 - Power Consumption
Calculation
Calculation Formula:
1. System power consumption = Pavg x Number of each type of boards + Pavg of fans)
2. Heat dissipation capability in the equipment room = System power consumption
3. Maximum subrack power consumption = 4,000 W, Maximum cabinet power consumption = 7,100 W
Concepts:
. Average power consumption (Pavg) is the estimated value in a typical operating environment. The
maximum power consumption mentioned in hardware description is obtained when all devices on
boards are full-loaded. This maximum power consumption cannot be obtained under the actual system
running conditions. Therefore, Pavg is provided for power consumption calculation.
. Maximum subrack power consumption is 4,000 W (including the power consumption of fans) which is
obtained when all slots of the subrack are configured with boards. It is recommended that power
distribution be configured as 4000 W per subrack. This can save power distribution adjustment upon
future capacity expansion.
. Maximum cabinet power consumption is 7,100 W which is the upper limit of the heat dissipation
capability in the equipment room and obtained based on survey and research. Therefore, the maximum
cabinet power consumption is not 12,000 W.

The tools and features for BSC6900 operation and maintenance (O&M)
are also used for BSC6910 O&M. Besides, BSC6910 O&M is simplified
by sharing the UP and CP and automatically allocating NodeBs and cells.
