Benefits with AXE 810
Compared with BYB 501:

› More than 50% reduction of footprint depending on
configuration
› 30 % decrease in power consumption
› 45% reduction of different board types
› 50% reduced number of internal cables

Highlights GS 890
› Strictly non-blocking
› Distributed, 16 kMUPs per GEM. Implemented as a single
15mm XDB board
› Maximal capacity at normal rate is 128K , scalable in steps
of 16K
› Maximal sub-rate capacity is 128K , scalable in steps of 16
K
› Redundant Architecture, meaning that single faults will not
affect traffic
› TS (Time/space) structure

Highlights GS 890
› Additional GEM magazines may be plugged in while traffic

is being processed – no traffic disturbances will be caused
› Each pair of DLEB boards has sufficient capacity for the
connection of four GDM magazines, corresponding to four
DL-3 interfaces

Abis Optimization: Typically 25-35% bit rate saving (traffic dependent) by
statistical multiplexing gains, no sending when silence, no sending of
spare bits etc.
Abis over IP: Utilizing IP technology and products. Goes well together
with Abis Optimization.
Þ Abis Optimization and Abis IP features requires PGW HW!

E1- requirement, A’’ interface, BTS-BSC
Simplified TS calculation for Abis over TDM.

Number of TS required for each TRU 3
Number of TS required for each TRU(LAPD concentration) 2.25
Number of TS required for each TRU(LAPD multiplexing) 2
Number of TS required for each Cell (with Abis optimization), use Abis Optimization tool
(ALEX)
Example:
Number of TRUs connected to the BSc 1000
Number of TS connected 3000
Utilization degree of the E1 70%*)
Number of E1 required = 3000 / (31 *70%) 139
*) Depending on usage of chaining in DXU or usage of other cross-connect equipment

E1- requirement, A’’’ interface, BSC-TRC
Calculation example:
Total traffic from the connected TRUs 2000 erlang

Grade of Service for A’’’ interface 0.1%
Number of C7 links, BSC-TRC 4
Number of C7 links, BSC-MSC 8
Number of TS(64kbit/s) required for traffic = 2095 / 4 524
Number of E1 required = (524+4+8) / 31 18

E1- requirement, A-interface, TRC-MSC
Calculation example
Remote BSC1 500 erlang/2 C7
Remote BSC2 1000 erlang/4 C7
Remote BSC3 1000 erlang/4C7
Number of E1 for BSC1 = (555 + 2) / 31 = 18 E1
Total requirement = 88 E1

Capacity of ET155
BYB501 Max utilization: 56 E1 per ET155
AXE810 Max utilization: 63 E1 per ET155
Redundancy of ET155
The ET155-1 supports two types of protection mechanisms:
– network protection (MSP 1+1)
– equipment protection.
One GEM magazine, up to 8 working ET155-1 and 8 protected (to
achieve full protection) ET155-1 can be fitted.

ET-155

PCU – Gb calculation
Gb over FrameRelay:
Gb Timeslot calculation =
Throughput kbit/s(IP level) *1.21 / 64k * 0.8
(1,21= IP overhead, 80% utlization of each TS)
Number of Gb links (E1) = Gb TS / 31 + 1

(including redundant link)
Gb over IP calculation:
Throughput kbit/s(user plane IP level) *1.37 * 0.8
(1,37= IP overhead, 80% utlization)
Number of E1 req. for Gb FR = Gb links

PCU – PDCH calculation
Calculation example for PDCH:
Total subscribers in network 250 000 subs.

% packet capable users 40%
% sim. attached and actively downloading users 10%
”SAU” 10 000
Total Gb traffic 1350 MB / Busy Hour
Traffic per subscribers => 135 kB per Busy Hour Subscribers per cell
33 subs. / cell
Total cells in network 300
Traffic per cell (Gb traffic/#Cells) 4.455 MB/cell = 9,9 kbps
Assumed PDCH throughput = 10 kbps
Calculate (E)PDCH per cell
(Traffic per cell)/(capacity per (E)PDCH) => 1 PDCH per cell
Calculate # of (E)PDCH per network => 300 PDCH
Note1! General 0.5-1 PDCH/E-PDCH per Cell are sufficient and reasonable to use in the BSC dimensioning, however
sometimes high number of PDCH/E-PDCH per Cell are required then this could be considered as a peak rate requirement.
The BSC dimensioning approach could in this case be to dimensioning for an average load of PDCH/E-PDCH, assuming
PDCH are dynamically set-up and all cells don’t peak simultaneously.

Where
X = number of PDCH 16 kbps GSL channels
Y = number of EPDCH 64 kbps GSL channels
Gblink size is always 256 dedicated GB TS (64 kbps) per GPHB.

PGW dimensioning
The Packet Gateway (PGW) is needed for the features Abis

Optimization and Abis over IP, to handle the communication of
the packet Abis (i.e. Abis Optimization and AbisIP) in the BSC.
Following PGW limitations should be considered in the HW calculation:

› Maximum number of TRUs running Abis OPT supported by one PGW is
100 TRUs!
› Maximum number of TRUs running Abis over IP supported by one PGW is
127 TRUs! (100 TRU if Abis Opt. is used)
› The capacity of PGW/2 is twice more than PGWB (Only for HD BSC)
› Maximum 32 PGWB for High Capacity BSC, and 21 PGWB for High Dense
BSC.

PGW

Processor capacity
Main parameters required for processor capacity calculations:
- Originating- and terminating traffic per subscriber

- Mean Holding Time for originating- and terminating calls
- Originating- and terminating Short Messages per sub&BH
- Location Update frequency (number of LU per sub&BH)
- Handover frequency, inter-MSC,inter-BSC, intra-BSC
- Number of Location areas
- SIGTRAN or C7
- GPRS
etc.

Processor capacity
Capacity example(1.2 BHCA, TFO…..):
APZ 212 33C 580 000 subs, 698 000 BHCA
Please note the limitation of 512 TG, 1024 cells and/or

2048 TRU per BSC.
