BSC, TRC, BSC/TRC
TRC
The Transcoder Controller (TRC) node contains the pooled transcoder resources and is
a stand-alone node. The TRC node requires its own AXE hardware platform
components such as APZ, IO and APT, as well as the transcoder hardware. The TRC is
connected to the MGW via the A-interface and to the BSC via the Ater-Interface. The
TRC node has the ability to support up to 16 BSCs over the Ater interface.
BSC
The stand-alone BSC is developed and optimized especially for rural and suburban
areas and is a complement to the BSC/TRC node in the BSC product portfolio. The
BSC contains the SRS and the TRH. It requires its own AXE 810 hardware platform
components, such as APZ, IOG or APG, APT. The BSC does not contain any
transcoders. It utilizes transcoder resources from a central BSC/TRC or from a TRC
node. The BSC is connected to the BSC/TRC or TRC via the Ater interface. It can be
remote controlled from the OSS.
BSC/TRC
The BSC/TRC is a combined BSC and TRC node. The transcoders are set up on a per
call basis, which implies a more efficient use of the transcoder resources. The
BSC/TRC is capable of handling 4095 TRXs.
APZ Control System
Central Processor, CP
The CP has the most processing capacity in the AXE. It is responsible for all high-level
functionalities, like the analysis of telephone numbers and processing of charging
information. The call setup procedure is one of the main tasks controlled by the CP.
Regional Processor, RP
The RP is responsible of controlling all hardware located in the APT switching part of AXE.
The RP also off-load the CP with simple routine tasks and administrative operations.
I/O System
The main task of the I/O system is to connect the user to the AXE in form of
Alphanumeric Terminals, Alarm panels and External Media. The examples are: IOG 20,
APG 40 and APG43.
APT Switching System
Group Switch, GS
The GS is the heart of the AXE. It is responsible for switching of calls, connection of APT
equipment and synchronization both internally and externally. The GS is implemented in
the XDB boards.
Exchange Terminal, ET
The ET connects traffic links to the AXE. There are a lot of different standards for these
links where STM-1 (155 Mbit/s) and E1 (2 Mbit/s) are the most common.
Signaling Terminal, ST
The signalling terminal is used to communicate with other nodes over signalling links.
Subscriber Equipment
The subscriber equipment is used to connect subscribers to the AXE. It can for example
be a radio base station (RBS) in GSM, an ENGINE Access Ramp (EAR) for local fixed
subscribers or a PABX for Enterprise subscribers. This is not considered to be a part of the
AXE.
APZ
APZ 212 30 - High Capacity Version
The high capacity processor is housed in a double depth cabinet. It supports serial RP-
bus, parallel RP-bus, or both. The memory in the processor is scalable to a maximum of 4
GW DS. The BSC uses DRAM memory. PS and RS are not scalable.
APZ 212 33
The APZ 212 33 supports serial RP-bus, parallel RP-bus, or both. The RP's can be spread
over max 32 RPB branches, each handling max 32 RP's. The DS is scalable
(dimensionable) in steps of 512 MW using DRAM based boards. PS and RS are not
scalable.
APG43
APG43 is based on Generic Ericsson Processor (GEP) HW and consists of four different
components: two APUB running the redundant AP, two disc cards one external media and
one alarm panel.
APG43/2
APG43/2 is based on Generic Ericsson Processor (GEP) HW and consists of four different
components: two APUB2 running the redundant AP, two disc cards one external media
and one alarm panel.
APG43 (43/2) is placed in the same eGEM magazine as APZ 212 55 or APZ 212 60. APG43 (43/2)
is a based on Windows 2003 server as APG40.

Interfaces
Serial RP Bus - RPB-S
The communication between the CP and RPs are transported over a dedicated serial
interface. There are cables from the RPH in the CP to two RPs in each magazine. Through
these RPs the bus is also available in the backplane of most magazines.
IPN
The IPN is a 100Mbit/s interface between CP and AP which is based on Ethernet. It is
realized as an optional board in the RPH magazine and can be used by APZ 212 30.
IP/Ethernet LAN
The optional BSC LAN switch provides traffic separation and routing environment for BSC
applications shielding the internal Ethernet communication from the external IP
communication. The magazines that house RPs running the GPH application or the PGW
application are connected individually or in cascade to the LAN switches. The connection is
done with external cabling from the magazine Ethernet switch or a GESB placed in the
magazine to the LAN switch. Other applications or modules that are connected to the LAN
switch are APG, STOC and SIGTRAN.
Interfaces
Maintenance Bus
The maintenance bus is housed in the backplane of all BYB 501 magazines. It is managed
by RPs adapted to the serial RP bus.
The functionality provides possibility for the system to get information of board identity,
version of HW and also to indicate status of the board by controlling the MIA LED (Manual
Intervention Allowed Light Emitting Diode) placed at the front of the boards.
DL3 Interface
This is the internal GSS interface which is used to interface the group switch (TSMs) with
either subrate switch or DLHBs in GDM/GDDM type magazines. The interface is a
redundant high speed interface and serves 512 MUPs (logically 16 DL2 interfaces).
DL2B Interface
DL2B interface is the DL2 interface housed in the backplane of GDM/GDDM type
magazines.

AXE 810 Group Switch - GS890
The GS890/CL890 switch has a distributed architecture with the switch boards residing together
with clock and device boards in a Generic Ericsson Magazine (GEM). The switch capacity is 16
kMUPs per switch board and GEM.
The GS890 switch can be used for subrate, together with normal rate, with a maximum capacity
of 128 kMUPs. Extensions can be made in steps of 16K in this mode.
The GS890 switch is plane duplicated with both planes contained in the same magazine. A GEM is
always equipped with two board types: 2 XDB (one for each plane) and 2 SCB-RP (one for each
plane). The CLMs are also duplicated, each CGB comprising two oscillators. If more than one GEM
is used, the CGBs are placed in different GEMs.
The interface between the Group Switch and devices in the GEM is provided by the DL-34, which
offers variable capacity from 128 MUPs up to a maximum of 2688 MUPs, in steps of 128 MUPs.
Devices residing in GDM magazines that do not support the DL-34 interface may be connected
using a duplicate DLEB board. Each pair of DLEB boards has sufficient capacity for connection of
up to four GDM magazines, i.e., four DL-3 interfaces.
GEM, eGEM, eGEM2
GEM
GEM in its basic configuration contains two duplicated 16 kMUPs Group switch units per
magazine plus a pair of regional maintenance processors. The GEM provides physical
space for up to 22 different devices such as: TRA, ET155, SCB-RP, XDB, DLEB, CGB, IRB,
LRB and CDB. The RP Bus and a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet are connected to each physical slot
of the GEM magazine.

RPP
The RPP is based on Power PC hardware platform. The RPP is a half size board with double
width, it is of the same size as an RPG2 board. A fully equipped GDDM magazine can
house up to 7 RPPs. A fully equipped GDDM-H also include two Ethernet Packet Switch
Boards (EPS or EPSB). The duplicated switch boards allow the RPPs to use the Ethernet
bus
The RPPs are used to run the GPRS Packet Handler (GPH), High Speed Signalling Link
(HSL).
The RPP boards used for GPRS Packet Handler (GPH) implements the RP part of the PCU
functionality which gives the BSC GPRS functionality. The GPH application is distributed
over several RPPs and use Ethernet for RP-RP communication and functional distribution.
The Gb and GSL interfaces are terminated in the RPPs.
The RPP boards used for the High-speed Signalling Link (HSL) can administrate one high
speed signalling link each. It is recommended to have at least two HSLs in the BSC
working side by side for redundancy reasons. Each HSL occupies a full 2 Mbit/s link. The
maximum number of HSL which can be used is 16.
