2 Overview

Overview

2.1 Introduction In the chain topology, if a BTS on the network is powered off or a transmission link is faulty, services on all the BTSs following the faulty BTS or following the faulty transmission link are interrupted. The GTMU stops working if the BTS is powered off. For example, in a chain topology without the Abis Bypass as shown in Figure 2-1, if BTS 2 is powered off and its GTMU stops working, the services on both BTS 2 and BTS 3 are interrupted. Figure 2-1 Influence of BTS power failure without Abis Bypass

With the Abis Bypass feature, a bypass transmission link is formed within the BTS that is powered off to transfer data to other BTSs following the faulty BTS on the chain. Therefore, the power failure of a BTS will not affect the normal services on the subsequent BTSs on the chain. For example, in a chain topology with Abis Bypass as shown in Figure 2-2, the bypass board within BTS 2 provides a bypass transmission link if the GTMU stops working upon power failure of BTS 2. In this case, only the services on BTS 2 are interrupted without affecting the services on BTS 3.

2 Overview

Figure 2-2 Influence of BTS power failure with Abis Bypass

The BSS uses bypass loopback upon power failure to identify whether a failure is due to a faulty transmission link or the BTS power failure.

3 Technical Description

Technical Description

3.1 Key Technologies Bypass upon BTS Power Failure For BTS3012 series, if a BTS is powered on, switches K1 and K2 are connected to contacts 1 and 2, respectively. When this occurs, data is transmitted to the DTMU. If the BTS is powered off, switches K1 and K2 are connected to contact 1' and 2', respectively. When this occurs, a bypass is formed within the DABB. Figure 3-1 shows the principle of bypass upon BTS failure. Figure 3-1 Bypass upon BTS power failure

For BTS3900 series, the Abis bypass function is implemented by setting DIP switches S4 and S5 on the GTMU. l

When the Abis interface uses TDM transmission, DIP switches S4 and S5 must support this function.

l

When the Abis interface uses IP over E1 transmission, DIP switch S4 must support this function.

Table 3-1 and Table 3-2 describe the bits of DIP switches S4 and S5, respectively. Issue 01 (2015-04-20)

1.

When an upper-level BTS experiences a power failure, call drop or mute voice problems will be present on lower-level BTSs for about 5s. As shown in Figure 3-2, when BTS 1 is powered off, the PPP or MLPPP link between BTS 1 and BTS 2 is interrupted. BTS 2 then renegotiates with the BSC to reestablish a PPP or MLPPP link. After the renegotiation is complete and an OML is reestablished, the services on the lower-level BTSs are restored.

2.

When the upper-level BTS is powered on again, the services on lower-level BTSs are interrupted. As shown in Figure 3-2, when BTS 1 is powered on again, the PPP or MLPPP link between BTS 2 and the BSC is interrupted. BTS 2 then renegotiates with BTS 1 to reestablish a PPP or MLPPP link. After the renegotiation is complete and an OML is reestablished, the services on the lower-level BTSs are restored. According to laboratory test results, the services on the adjacent lower-level BTS (BTS 2 in this example) are interrupted for 4 to 15 minutes and the service interruption duration increases by 1 to 2 minutes for the BTS of a lower level (BTS 3 in this example).

To enable the Abis bypass function for cascaded BTSs, you need to set ABISBYPASSMODE(BSC6900,BSC6910) to TRUE(Support) for each cascaded BTS.

Loopback Upon BTS Power Failure In a chain topology as shown in Figure 3-2: l

If the transmission link between BTS 1 and BTS 2 is faulty, BTS 2 and all the following BTSs cannot be observed on the BSC.

l

If BTS 2 is powered off, only BTS 2 is not observed on the BSC. Figure 3-2 Schematic view of the BSS configured with bypass boards

The loopback function upon power failure helps to identify the BTS power failure from the transmission link fault. The function, however, is not applicable to the last BTS on the chain. For the last BTS on the chain, set the DIP switches on its bypass board so that the transmission link through the last BTS is short-circuited when the BTS is powered off. Therefore, the loopback test can be performed on the BSC side to locate the fault.
