Figure 1-1 O&M method of BTS

In GSM system, the operation and maintenance center OMC is used for the control and
maintenance of each device in a communication subsystem. Generally, the switching
system and the base station are maintained separately. The local operation &
maintenance is part of the O&M of the base station system, which is done on the
installation site of BTS equipment. All the devices of equipment can be maintained via
a MMI interface which is provided by LMT. To enable the telecom operator to monitor
and control the whole system, the information to be monitored are transmitted via the
O&M system from the monitored equipment to the background maintenance terminal
and displayed to the administrative personnel, also the administrative personnel can
modify the device configuration at the local maintenance terminal. The local operation
and maintenance system is realized by the OMU unit of BTS.

-1-
1.1.1 Operation & maintenance unit (OMU)

OMU is the O&M unit of BTS, which fulfills the control and maintenance functions of
each unit inside BTS. Functionally, OMU mainly implements the remote operation and
maintenance by BSC and the local operation and maintenance. It accepts the O&M
commands from BSC, fulfills the status management, transmission management, radio
interface management, test management and equipment management of each functional
module inside BTS, realizes the remote O&M function from remote BSC to BTS.
Meanwhile, OMU can also be used to operate and maintain other BTSs under the same
BSC via local O&M interface.

OMU primarily performs O&M for the following internal units of BTS:

1． Base station interface equipment (BIE)/Enhanced base station interface

equipment (EBIE) (active/standby boards)

2． Frame unit (FU)

3． Carrier unit (CU)

4． Clock unit (CKU) (active/standby boards)

5． Signal distribute unit (SDU)

6． External alarm unit (EAM)

OMU mainly performs the following control and maintenance functions:

1． Receives and processes the BTS O&M instructions issued by BSC.

2． Performs the corresponding processing for the devices of BTS based on the
O&M instructions issued by BSC.

3． Collects and processes the alarm messages from the devices of BTS and then
reports to BSC.

4． Performs local O&M functions of BTS.

OMU has corresponding interfaces with the frame unit (FU), carrier unit (CU), clock
unit (CKU), base station interface equipment (BIE), external alarm module (EAM) and
signal distribution unit (SDU), which are used for internal protocol processing and
information exchanging. The OMU communicates each module with polling method.

-2-
 Chapter 1 Overview

1． OMU communicates with BSC via the 64k TS at Abis interface, the link layer
adopts LAPD protocol.

2． OMU communicates with FU module via HDLC bus with 1Mbit/s bit rate.

3． OMU communicates with the BIE, CKU, EAM and CU module via HDLC bus
with 64kbps bit rate.

4． OMU is maintained at the local site with 9.6kbit/s bit rate.

1.1.2 Base station subsystem operation and maintenance center

Base station subsystem operation and maintenance center OMCR is used to manage
ZXG10-BSS, realizes operation and maintenance of BSS, includes both BSC and BTS,
the main function includes security management, fault management, performance
management and configuration management.

1． Security management

Security management is used to define and control the authentication of the

O&M operator, prevent illegal operation and ensure the user access safety and
service utilization safety, as well as record the operations of O&M system the
information of the executer and execution terminal, provide tools to query such
information so as to track the parameter modification, corresponding operators
and terminals.

2． Fault management

Fault management is used to monitor the overall running status of the BSS
system, help maintenance personnel provide realtime maintenance and
recovery. It can display and synchronize BSS fault, fulfills the BSS diagnosis
and test, so fault can be located and handled to ensure the normal operation of
the BSS system.

3． Performance management

Performance management is realized by performance measurement and service

statistic. By setting a series of measurement tasks, system collects various of
performance indexes data from each network unit to proof the physical and
logical allocation of the network and find potential problem as soon as possible.
The mobile subscriber manager also can treat with traces actived by MSC, by
setting the tracing aim, collecting information from BSC (A interface

-3-
ZXG10-BTS (V1A) Operation Manual

information, Abis interface information, parts of information from Um

interface) to fulfill the trace task on mobile subscriber or mobile equipment, it
is a effective and practical tools to observe subscriber.

4． Configuration management

Configuration management covers the configurations of physical configuration

and logical configuration of resource and attributes should maintain at
background (CSS7, radio resource, semi-fixed connection, timer, threshold
value, flag, etc.). It could realize software upload, radio resource management,
CSS7 configuration and dynamic data management functions.

1.1.3 Local management terminal LMT

As the local operation and maintenance system of BTS, the main functions of LMT are
as follows:

1． Before the station start working

Simulate the BSC to configure the parameters for BTS.

2． During system debugging

The preliminary installation and debugging of BTS can be implemented by

LMT on site, thus BTS can simulate BSC to perform the initialization process
of BSC to BTS. After the BTS is start up, software and hardware performance
can be tested, such as its peripheral hardware interface. The BTS will not be
connected to the network for operation until the local test meets the
requirements. This facilitates the on-site test and adjustment of BTS.

3． During operation

When system is operation normally, information such as alarm, software

version, status and attribute of MO and configuration of current radio resource
can be inquired from local LMT.

If any unrecoverable failure occurs in BTS (e.g., the physical link between BSC
and BTS is damaged), the LMT system needs to be used to implement local
operation and maintenance for BTS. In this case, the LMT system should have
functions like configuration management, attribute or status, alarm query, etc,
and then debugging the BTS system. After the BTS becomes normal, reconnect
to the system, and the BSC will cancel the modification made by LMT, to

-4-
 Chapter 1 Overview

ensure the consistency of the data in the BSC background configuration

database. LMT acquires the BTS configuration information so the users can
always obtain the latest data configuration.

4． In case of Abis link interrupted

（1） Allow LMT initialize the BTS parameter by local database, such as: base
station transceiver attribute, radio frequency attribute, channel attribute and
board selection.

（2） Allow LMT schedule the management, operation and valid status query of
O&M modules of BTS by local database, as while as alarm inquiry of each
board.

（3） Could set and adjust the BTS parameter by local database during normal
operation.

5． In case of Abis link and OMU in normal condition

（1） Allow LMT schedule the operation and query the valid status of BTS modules
by local database.

（2） LMT acquires the alarm information of each board and module by local
database.

（3） Allow LMT inquiry the setted parameter of BTS site by local database, such as
attributes of base transceiver station, radio frequency and channel. 0

LM module is mainly used to support LMT to perform the operation and maintenance
of BTS, including processing the communication flow between LMT and BTS on the
MMI interface, processing the internal communication flow between LM module and
MOs inside BTS, monitoring the hardware modules inside BTS, and collecting the
alarm messages and status change messages of circuit boards, which are reported to
LMT.

LMT is the local O&M module of BTS. Just like BSC, LMT collects the status and
alarm of BTS via OMU, and performs configuration management of BTS when the
BSC and BTS are not connected. Physically, it belongs to PC, and it composes the
O&M terminal together with the operation system of PC.

MMI interface performs such functions as establish links between LMT and LM, , link
holding, transmission control and packing/unpacking of packets, etc.

 Chapter 1 Overview

1.2.1 Modules of LMT

According to the major functions of LMT, the system can be divided into the following
modules: system configuration management, status examining and alarm management,
and CKU calibration module. Each module and its foreground peer communication
module are designed with management/agent mode.

1． Configuration management

The configuration management of LMT system includes three parts: equipment

management, radio resource configuration management and data
synchronization. Equipment management is realized by add main/auxillary
racks and add/delete boards; radio resource configuration management is
performed by add cells, add TRXs and modify parameters inside; data
synchronization is realized by synchronize the modified parameter list in local
database to foreground database, so as to avoid global data synchronization and
the efficiency can be enhanced.

2． Status examining and alarm management

Status view and alarm management includes three parts: alarm view, status and
parameter query and software version query. Alarm view shows the current
alarm information; status and parameter view shows the current status and
configured parameter of the site, cell, transceiver and channel; software version
query shows the software version current used

3． CKU calibration

CKU calibration principle: fulfill the calibration by communication with CKU

by LMT software, and saved in CKU so can be used in free oscillation. To
fulfill CKU calibration need three parts of software work together, includes:
LMT software runs on PC on background; foreground agent runs on OMU
plates, as the communication bridge between PC and CKU; calibration program
runs on CKU, used for receive calibration instruction from LMT and do
corresponding action.

foreground/background communication software, and foreground O&M agent
software. In which, the background O&M software and communication software are
installed in a PC or laptop. The foreground O&M agent software and foreground
communication software are included in OMU software.

The foreground O&M agent software is physically located on OMU board, and is used
to support the background for the operation and maintenance of BTS. Its major
functions includes:

1． Process the communication flow between background at MMI interface and

BTS.

2． Process the internal communication flow between OMU and MOs inside BTS.

3． Monitor the hardware modules inside BTS, collect the alarm messages from
circuit boards and then report to the background. The background processes and
displays these messages.

The communication software includes foreground software and background software,

which respectively belong to OMU and PC physically. It mainly fulfills functions like
establish links between LMT and LM, link holding, transmission control and message
packing/unpacking.

The background O&M software belongs to PC physically, and it constitutes the O&M
terminal together with the operating system of the PC. It provides friendly man-

4 Configuration Management

4.1 General
The configuration management of LMT system is classified into three parts:
Equipment management, radio resource configuration management and data
synchronization. The equipment management is implemented by adding new
master/slave racks and adding/removing boards. The radio resource configuration
management is implemented by adding new cells, adding new transceivers and
modifying their parameters. Data synchronization is initiated to synchronize the
changed parameter table of the background database to the foreground database, so as
to avoid synchronizing all the data in each time, hence improving the efficiency.

The operation and maintenance data of OMU for each BTS module are mainly
delivered by BSC via the layer 3 flow of the Abis interface, therefore, the OMU
database servers the function of accessing the various data delivered by BSC. The LMT
operation and maintenance terminal enables the maintenance personnel to inquire the
current resources configuration and parameters setting of each site from the OMU
database and to configure resources and modify parameters in any circumstance.

As the agent of the BSC, OMU manage the MO on BTS. The DBS of OMU is mainly
used to save the important information of BTS MO. The database synchronization is to
keep the consistency of the LMT local database and foreground database, so users can
inquiry and configure the BTS MO from LMT.

The parameter configuration is to simulate BSC to configure the physical parameters

and radio parameters for BTS. The local database module provides the interface
function to modify the parameter configuration data. When the data have been
configured correctly, data synchronization is performed to transfer the configured
parameters to the foreground database, and display the percent of the synchronization
on the background interface. The configuration of local O&M parameter is only
allowed when the communication between BSC and BTS is interrupted. After the
communication between BSC and BTS resumed, the parameter configuration of local
O&M will be disabled. To avoid read and write on local database happened at same
time, the parameter configuration of LMT could not be performed at the same time

with LMT alarm, status and parameter configuration inquiry. In this version, the LAPD
link should be disconnected during parameter configuration. So by periodically polling
the variation of data, the background could obtains the connection status of the LAPD
link, which is displayed on the interface. If the LAPD link is connected during
parameter configuration, the system will notify user to exit.

4.4 BTS radio parameter configuration

The radio configuration of local operation and maintenance refers to providing the
local maintenance personnel with the man-machine interface for radio resource
configuration, and synchronizing the information of the maintenance personnel to the
foreground database.

The first step to configure the radio resource is to add new cells. In each station, only a
maximum of three cells are allowed. Some important parameters of the cell are
settable, while other parameters can only be viewed by the user, and can not be
modified. Default options are provided in parameter setting. The second step is to add
new transceivers. TRXs in the physical configuration of plates are listed thereinto to let
the user select TRXs for different cells. There are a variety of parameters to be set for
TRX, such as Fu, CU. The third step is to create the combination mode of the 8 TS
channels. The channel combination is directly created by the channel creator. The forth
step is to set the carrier frequency, including the selection of the absolute channel No.
of BCCH within the cell and the frequency of other TRX. The fifth step is frequency
planning which mainly refers to the planning of frequency in no frequency hopping and
RF hopping.

To perform radio parameter configuration, select “Site Attribute Management” in the

configuration tree, as figure 4-14 shows.

Figure 4-14 BTS attribute management

 Chapter 4 Configuration Management

4.4.1 Adding cells

Select “Site Attributes management” in the configuration tree, click the right mouse
key, and select “add cell” in the popup menu (figure 4-15). Currently, one site can drive
a maximum of 4 BTSs, namely 24 TRUs and 3 cells. In case of the system is
configured with only one cell, 1~24 TRUs could be allocated to this cell. In case of two
or three cells are configured, the total amount of the allocated TRUs should ≤24.

4.4.3 Channel generator

Among all the existing transceivers, user must specify one transceiver as the BCCH
TRX, it could be modified, but the channel combination, carrier setting and frequency
planning in the cell should be re-set also, otherwise, errors may occur. Each transceiver
has 8 channels. Select “Channel generator” from the popup menu as figure 4-17 shows
to open the channel generator window.

2． CCCH Structure

There are five CCCH configuration modes, as shown in the figure 4-20. In
which, when CCCH uses a physical channel and shares it with SDCCH, the
channel capacity of CCCH is the least. When CCCH uses a physical channel
and does not share it with SDCCH, the channel capacity of CCCH is relatively
small. In other cases, the more physical channels the CCCH uses, the larger the
capacity is. The configuration of this parameter is determined by the service
carrier based on the traffic model of the cell. In practice, if there are one or two
TRXs in the cell, it is recommended for the configuration of CCCH to use one
basic physical channel and share it with SDCCH. If the number of TRXs is 3 or
4, it is recommended for the configuration of CCCH to use one basic physical
channel and not to share it with SDCCH.

3． Number of SDCCH channels

It is directly selected by the user. As a matter of convenience, the given range is

0 to 4.

4． Number of TCH channels

Since the control channel is assigned strictly to time slot 0 of the BCCH carrier
frequency configured in the cell, the maximum number of TCH channels is 7
when there is only one TRX, i.e., assigned to time slots 1--7. When there are 2
TRXs, the maximum number of TCH channels is 15. The rest can be deduced
from this.

5． Number of TRXs in the cell

It refers to the number of already configured TRXs within the specified cell
(BTS), which is consistent with that indicated in the configuration tree on the
left. Each TRX can handle 8 channels, with each channel corresponding to a
time slot.

Click “Application” button to list out the transceiver No., channel No channel
combination condition of the currently selected cell.

Click “Finish” to create the channel combination mode.

5.2 Alarm information classification

The alarm can be classified as general notification and alarming according to the
emergency level. General notification indicates unrepeatable of instantaneous troubles
appearing while the system is running. Generally, if a certain type of notification does
not appear frequently, it maybe caused by occasional factors of the environment, and
no transaction is required. Otherwise, if a certain type of notification appears
frequently, or occurs for a long period of time, the maintenance personnel must find out
the reason and solve the problem immediately.

Alarms may last for a certain period of time, which will affect the normal service,
maintainability and reliability of the system. According to their affect, alarms are
divided into four levels, as described in table 5-1.

Table 5-1 Definition of alarm levels

Description: in the definition of alarm levels, the affected range only refers to the influence on a single item, i.e., the level

of a certain alarm can be determined if a certain index such as th reliability and safety reaches the specified range. If an

alarm item has effect on more than one index, the alarm level may be increased.

（3） Support SPLIT_PG_CYCLE paging style or not:

Description: the parameter used for MB and FUC. Whether support

“SplitPgCycle” in CCCH is broadcast to MB in PSI13 and SI3 message.
“SplitPgCycle” means “packeting immediately assign”, “packet paging” and
“packeting immediately assign refused”, etc., could send on several BLOCKs.
If SplitPgCycle style is adopted, the period of GPRS is fixed with 64 51-
multiframes, which is different with the changeable paging period in GSM.

-64-
 Chapter 5 Alarm management

This fixed period is divided into SplitPgCycle segments, each segment has one
chance for send. This parameter only indicates whether support “SplitPgCycle”
function on CCCH at network side, whether used between MS and network
should be negotiated by both part, it is available only when both network and
MS (use DRX) support this function.

Value: 0（not support） CCCH not support in SPLIT_PG_CYCLE

Setting: 0（not support）

（4） Buffer overload threshold of 9*64 multi-frames paging message

The 9*64 multi-frames paging message buffer overload threshold is related to

the paging message buffer mechanism of 64 multi-frames paging duration, used
to determine whether the paging message buffer of paging channel is overload.
The determine mechanism is as follows: for the paging message buffer area
corresponding to one paging channel, divide the saved message number with
the maximum storage, then multiplied with 100, if the value is bigger then the
setted threshold here, it is determined as overload.

（5） Paging index buffer overload threshold of 9*64 multi-frames

The overload threshold of 9*64 multi-frames paging index buffer is related to

the paging message buffer mechanism of 64 multi-frames paging duration, used
to determine whether the paging channel is overload. The determine
mechanism is as follows: for each paging group, divide the queued message
number in the buffer with the corresponding maximum buffer queue storage,
then multiplied with 100, if the value is bigger then the setted threshold here, it
is determined as overload.

（6） PRACH overload threshold

PRACH overload threshold is used to determine whether a PRACH is overload.

The determine mechanism is: in on PRACH, divided the block number which is
marked as “busy” with the total block number of this PRACH, then multiplied
with 100, if the value is bigger then the setted threshold here, it is determined as
overload.

（7） PRACH overload indicate duration: Reserved

（8） Prach receive signal level threshold

Description: The level threshold of PRach receive signal is PrachBusyThs.

PRACH channel overload is one of the reasons to use overload control.
PRACH overload is measured by the random access burst busy rate, namely, if
the level of a burst is bigger than the level specified by PrachBusyThs, then this
burst is determined as a busy burst.

Value: as table 5-2 lists.

Setting: The default value is 63

（9） PRACH average measured bursts number

Description: The average measured bursts number (PavgSlots) is the bursts

measured on PRACH. If the level of received signal of AvgSlots number of BP
is little than PrachBusyThs, then The PRACH channel is determined as
overload. It is a parameter used by BTS, should be synchronized when
changed.

Value: 0 ~ 100

Setting: the default value is 60

6 Clock Calibration

6.1 General
Currently, CKU has two kinds of working mode: phase lock mode (synchronized with
BSC) and free oscillation mode. When work in phase lock mode, such as lock, save the
input value of voltage control oscillation into FLASH register. When work in free
oscillation mode, CKU control the voltage oscillation with the D/A value in FLASH
register.

Before CKU leave factory, the output of the clock is already be calibrated to ensure the
13M output precision. But the output of CKU clock maybe not accurate due to aging or
other reasons. So calibration tools should be provided on site for CKU clock output
calibration. Here, we provide tools in LMT, user can use the peripheral meter to realize
CKU calibration.

The calibration environment is as figure 6-1 shows.

High performance
frequency meter

-----------

Figure 6-1 Calibration environment

The principle of CKU calibration is by the communication between LMT software and
CKU, and saved in CKU used for free oscillation.

As figure 6-1 shows, CKU calibration needs three parts of software: LMT program
runs on background; foreground agent runs on OMU plate; calibration program runs on
CKU, used to receive and execute the instructions from LMT.
