All rights reserved. Page6 The BSC6900 GSM in BM/TC separated mode or A over IP mode supports 3,072 TRXs in a single cabinet. It caters to the mobile network requirements for higher capacity with fewer sites, thus requiring less space in the equipment room and reducing the power consumption. In addition, the BSC6900 GSM supports the simultaneous activation of up to 12,288PDCHs, thus meeting the increasing requirements for packet service growth and saving the cost of packet equipment Confidential Information of Huawei.

All rights reserved. Page7 The BSC6900 GSM has a small number of board types. In addition to transmission boards, the BSC6900 GSM cabinet accommodates boards such as network switching boards, signaling processing boards, and service processing boards. The simplification of board types reduces the maintenance cost. The interface boards and service boards, not bound together, are flexible in configuration and easy to maintain and expand. Based on its all-IP platform, the BSC6900 GSM betters the PS service performance. The Abis, A, and Gb interfaces support IP transmission, which provides sufficient bandwidth and saves transmission cost. The IP-based platform and interface meet the trend of flattened network and the requirements for network evolution. The BSC6900 GSM is compatible with the hardware of the BSC6000. Through software loading, the BSC6000 in the existing network can be upgraded to the BSC6900 GSM. The BSC6900 GSM can be upgraded to the BSC6900 GU through addition of the UMTS boards and software upgrade. This facilitates the deployment of a 3G network and protects the investment of the operator. Confidential Information of Huawei.

All rights reserved. Page8 In BM/TC combined mode, the BSC is not configured with the TCS. The boards that implement the TC functions are inserted into the slots in the MPS or EPS. With the same capacity, less cabinets and less subracks are required in the BSC, thus increasing the hardware integration. When the BSC is located in a remote equipment room, it is configured in BM/TC separated mode. The BSC is configured with a separate TCS, which is located in the TCR on the MSC side. Thus, the transmission resources between the BSC and the MSC are saved. In A over IP mode, the BSC directly connects to the Huawei core network without using the TC, thus protecting the operator's investment and improving the voice quality due to the reduction of encoding and decoding. The A over IP mode meets the needs for network evolution. Confidential Information of Huawei.

Page65 the CS signal flow on the uplink is as follows: The uplink CS signals are sent from the BTS to the Abis interface board in the MPS/EPS. The CS signals are demultiplexed in the Abis interface board. Each CS signal uses a 64 kbit/s timeslot and is transmitted to the Ater interface board through the TNUa board. The CS signals are multiplexed in the Ater interface board. Each full-rate CS signal uses a 16 kbit/s sub-timeslot, and each half-rate CS signal uses an 8 kbit/s sub-timeslot. The CS signals are then transmitted to the Ater interface board in the TCS over the Ater interface. The CS signals are demultiplexed in the Ater interface board of the TCS. Each CS signal uses a 64 kbit/s timeslot and is transmitted to the DPUc board through the TNUa board. The DPUc board performs speech codec and rate adaptation on the CS signals, which are converted into 64 kbit/s PCM signals.
