The BSS Story

BSS - System Elements

BTS

Abis Interface

BSC

Ater Interface

TCU

A Interface

Base Transceiver Station Provides Air Interface to Communicate with Mobile Station

Channel Coding
Burst Formatting

Redundant bits are added to actual data for error protection. Convolution Code There are different kinds of Bursts like Access Burst, Normal burst, Frequency Correction Burst etc Spreading data in one Channel over many bursts

Interleaving
Modulating

GMSK GAUSSIAN MEAN SHIFT KEYING

Common Equipment Module

Controls :
LSARC

TRM
Provides: access to the system maintenance clock synchronization traffic switching

Transcoder Resource Module

Manages the vocoding of speech channels. Supports All of the GSM CODECS full rate enhanced full rate

adaptive multi--rate

Low Speed Access Resource Complex

Provides the PCM link interfaces

Two versions exist

International PCM E1 links version - 21 E1 North American PCM T1 links version - 28 T1 connections

TransCoder Unit

Converts 64 Kbps PCM to 13Kbps GSM Speech and vice versa

Switches the Data and Speech coming from MSC to the correct BSC

Base Station Controller

Controls all the connected BTS

Performs Resource Management Switching Handover Triggering

Operation and Maintenance Unit

Resource management supervises the BSC / TCU manages the interface with the OMC-R manages the SCSI disks provides system maintenance

Traffic Management Unit

manages processing power for the GSM CallP terminates the GSM protocols for A, Abis, Ater and Agprs interfaces terminates the low level of the GSM protocols: LAPD and SS7

Mass Memory Storage TheMMS modules houses the data and software repositories. The RAID (Random Array of Inexpensive Disks) architecture ensures that the data and the software are secured and still accessible in the event of a software or hardware failure.

ATM-SWitch The ATMSW module is also calledCC-1 Implements the ATM network used as the Control Node backplane provides theOC-3 connectivity on optical fibers towards the Interface Node.

Shelf Interface Module The SIM module provides the power and alarm interfaces for the Control Node. It provides shelf--originated alarm signals from the PCIU(Power Cabling Interface Unit) to the OMU modules.

ATM-Resource Module

interface to optical multi-mode fiber termination of ATM forum specified SONET(Synchronous Optical NETwork) transport termination of ATM OAM and CallP cells map DS0 to ATM cells over AAL-1 for Nx64 connections and speech/data channels

Low Speed Access-Resource Complex Interface Electronic Module (duplicated)

The IEM module transmits and converts the PCM(E1/T1) line coded signals to the CEM module across the S-link interface (within the backplane) handles various other functions such as clock and frame recovery, alarm detection, line coding, mapping the PCM information onto the S-link format providing a diagnostic interface

Termination Interface Module

Provides Impedance matching and EMI filtering Each function inside the TIM module is implemented with passive components and hence nonredundant

8K-RM (SRT-RM) Circuit Switching Matrix Resource Module The role of the 8K-RMmodule is to add subrate switching capability allowing for the efficient switching of 8 and 16 kbps channels.(The CEM can switch only at DS0 level 64 kbps Channels)
