G2 BSC Hardware Overview
Page 3
y Commonly in G2 BSC for Alcatel
there are three racks and each rack
contains eight shelves.
y There are eight shelves in one BSC
rack. Count starts from breakers shelf
at the top and ends at the last shelf in
the bottom.
G2 BSC Hardware Overview
Three main Terminal Sub Units (TSUs)
y Common TSU ( Within the BSC).
y Abis TSU ( BSC to BTS).
y ATER TSU ( BSC to Transcoder)
G2 BSC Hardware Overview
COMMON TSU
y In the common TSU the functions are carried out by the BSC. For
Example call initiation, call establishment and handovers etc.
y The card which comes in the common TSU domain is CPRC (cpra
card)
CPRC (Common Processor Type C)
y There are six cpra cards in the first rack of the Alcatel BSC.
y Two Cpra OSI (Open system interface). These are responsible for
establishing the link b/w BSC and the OMCR. IN short the these
two CPRC contain the OML of the BSC through X.25 link.
y Two Cpra Sis These are the main controller processors for the
BSC. The various functions are carried out through this card.
y Two Cpra Broadcast. Used for the local bus interface in the BSC.
G2 BSC Hardware Overview
ABIS TSU
y Abis Tsu is responsible for the link between the BTS and the BSC.
One Abis TSU contains one BIUA card and eight TCUC cards and
two access switches.
y
BIUA (BTS Interface Unit Type A)
y One BIUA contains six abis. Abis is the link between the BTS and
the BSC. Its a 2 MB link. One BIUA has eight TCUC cards.
TCUC (TRX Control Unit Type C)
y Basically TRX are configured on the TCUC cards.
y One TCUC can contain four full rate and two half rate TRX.
y TCUC also contain the OML for the site.
G2 BSC Hardware Overview
y ATER TSU
y One Ater TSU contains two ASMB cards, eight DTCC cards
and two access switches.
ASMB (Ater Sub Multiplexer at the BSC)
y One ASMB is one Ater mux.
y One DTCC (Digital trunk controller type C).
TSCA (Transmisson Submultiplexer ContollerType A)
y All the transmission cards are working under this important
card. Each rack contains this card at shelf eight and slot 5.

Evolution Capacity Improvements
TRE/VTCU Mapping
y In B10, the maximum number of TREs mapped on a VTCU is 4
whatever their type (FR/DR). A CCP board contains 50 VTCUs and
can manage upto 1500 TCHs
Evolution Capacity Improvements
y HSL MODE
y In B10, in LSL mode, the bandwidth is not wide enough to carry the
No.7 signaling in the case of large-capacity
y BSCs (that can support more than 600 TRXs). Therefore, the HSL
mode is implemented.
y
y In TDM mode, the HSL links are connected from the BSC to the
MSC without going through the TransCoder (TC).
y For redundancy purposes, 2 HSLs are used. The load is shared
between both HSLs.
Evolution Capacity Improvements
Page 25
HSL Engineering Rules
The HSL configuration requires 2 AterMux. Any AterMux can be
candidate if:
It does not carry Qmux.
It does not carry IP over Ater.
It is configured for CS traffic only.
The HSL and LSL modes cannot be mixed on a BSC.
The AterMux supporting HSL must be configured on different LIU
boards.
