Switching Network (SN(B))

1.1 Introduction
The switching network SN is the link inside a node for:

traffic connections between LTGs (temporary through connections)

the EWSD internal message exchange between LTG, CCNC and CP control units
via fixed message channels MCH

CCS7 signaling messages between CCS7 signaling channels in PCM links

connected to the LTG and the CCNC (fixed connections set by command).

The switching network is fully duplicated (SN0 and SN1). For traffic connections, one
is the active, the other one the standby side. All calls are always simultaneously
through connected via both SN sides while the LTG only through connects user
channel information received from the active SN to the PCM links. If the active SN
fails the system switches to the standby SN without any loss.
Through connection in the SN occurs in accordance with the "time space time"
principle (change of time slot change of space slot change of time slot). Each
through connection ensures a transparent bidirectional 64kbit/s path through the SN.
In addition to temporary through connections (transient calls), the following nonswitched connections also apply:

nailed-up connections (NUC) set by MML command

through connection of message channels between LTG control units and the
message buffer (permanently specified by CP software).

Every connection between the SN and other functional units use secondary digital
carrier lines (SDC) with a bit rate of 8192kbps (mostly called 8Mbit system or
highways), carrying 128 standard 64kbps time slots (numbers 0-127).

Switching Network (SN(B))

1.2 Hardware
The SN for EWSD systems is available in different capacity stages. With the
exception of the small switching network for a maximum of 63 LTGs (combined
space-time stages), each SN consists of the subunits time stage group (TSG) and
space stage group (SSG).
Time Stage Group (TSG):
Each TSG connects the SDC to/from the LTG, CCNC, and MB. 64 of this SDCs can
be connected to each TSG. An SN is made of a maximum of 8 duplicated TSG. Each
TSG contains a switch group control (SGC) which is connected to the CP via the
message buffer (MB) with an own SDC line. The SGC receives setting instructions
for temporary or fixed bidirectional 64kbps through connections from the CP. The
SGC implements through connections by setting the individual time stage modules
(TSM) in a TSG. Inside a TSG each TSM can change the position in time and space of
any time slot arbitrarily for a group of 8 connected SDC.
Space Stage Group (SSG):
The SSG through connects a call between TSM inside the same or different TSG. An
SN consists of a maximum of 4 duplicated SSG. Inside the SSG is a switch group
control (SGC) connected to the CP via the message buffer (MB). The SGC receives
setting instructions for temporary or fixed bidirectional 64kbps through connections
from the CP. The SGC implements through connections by setting the individual
space stage modules (SSM) in an SSG. Each SSM can change the space slot of the
time slot for connected SDC arbitrarily.
External and internal connections
The following types of secondary digital carriers (SDC) with 8Mbps form the internal
and external interfaces of the SN:

SDC:LTG between TSG and maximum 63 LTG for circuit connections (time slots
1-127) and for message exchange between the LTG GP control unit and the CP
(message channel to time slot 0). Any TSG port can be used except 0, which is
reserved for the SDC:TSG to the message buffer.

one or two SDC:CCNC to through connect CCS7 messages between the CCNC
and the signaling channels in the PCM links. Can use any TSG port except 0 (MB).

one SDC:TSG between TSG and MB to transfer the message channel for all LTG
in this TSG to the CP. Always connected to port 0 of every TSG.

one SDC:SGC between the SGC control unit in a TSG/SSG and the MB to transfer
the CP setting instructions to TSG/SSG

The individual TSG and SSG are connected to each other via SDC:SSG

Switching Network (SN(B))

Capacity stages
As the SN is available in different increments the actual size of the switching
network can be matched to the expected traffic volume in an exchange. The volume
of traffic to be through connected measured in Erlangs is used as the dimensional
size.
TIP
In addition to the increments listed the special implementation of SN for 31 LTG and
for 63 LTG is also available for small EWSD.
Capacity / space requirements for SN increments:

If a CCNC is connected, 1 or 2 SDC:CCNC are added depending on the number of

CCS7 signaling channels; the number of SDC:LTG is reduced accordingly.

Space requirements inside a rack:

Each TSG requires only one frame inside a rack. Each SSG requires only a half of a
frame inside a rack. The remaining space inside the rack can be used for LTG.
In a TSG rack it is possible to install a maximum of 4 LTG module frames.
In an SSG rack it is possible to install a maximum of 4 LTG module frames.
In the SN:63LTG rack it is possible to install a maximum of 4 LTG module frames.
The SN:31LTG is stored inside the CP rack.

TIP
Mobile systems are not fully equipped with all possible LTGs. Because of the much
higher signaling load in a PLMN, the amount of internal messages would be too high
for the message buffer. Fig. 3 shows the capacity stages of EWSD and D900
systems.

Switching Network (SN(B))

1.2.1 SN(B) Functional Units and Modules

The SN(B) is divided into the following functional units:

Time switch circuit (TSC)

A TSC can connect each incoming time slot belonging to one of the 4 connected
SDC:LTG to a random outgoing time slot on any of the 4 connected SN internal
SDCs. As each of the SDCs is always bidirectional a TSC is divided into TSC
incoming and TSC outgoing.

Link interface to LTG (LIL)

The LIL is the interface to the LTG. It is responsible for propagation time
equalization of the SDC:LTG.

Space switch SS16|16

An SS16|16 can connect any incoming time slot belonging to one of the 16
connected SDC to the outgoing time slot with the same number belonging to any
of these 16 SDC.

Space Switch SS8|15

An SS8|15 is connected to 8 SDC on one side and 15 SDC on the other side.
Each SS8|15 is divided into two subunits. One unit can connect any incoming time
slot belonging to one of the 8 SDC on one side to the outgoing time slot with the
same number belonging to one of the 15 SDC on the other side. The other
subunit can connect any incoming time slot belonging to one of the 15 SDC on
one side to the outgoing time slot with the same number belonging to one of the
8 SDC on the other side.

Link interface between TSG and SSG (LIS)

The SDC:SSG (TSG SSG) are connected to SSG and TSG via the LIS. These act
as interfaces for propagation time equalization of the individual SDC. In addition
the LIS specifies which TSG (SN0 or 1) will interoperate with which SSG (SN0 or
1). In this sense it can be compared to the LIU function inside the LTG.

Switch group control (SGC)

Each SGC controls the functional units in its TSG/SSG. To do this it interacts with
the CP via its SDC:SGC.

Link Interface to message buffer (LIM)

The interface function for the SDC:SGC to the message buffer is implemented by
means of the LIM component.

In the SN(B) the individual functional units are assigned to modules as follows:

10

2 TSC including LIL function are implemented in one TSMB module

in the TSG the LIS function for 16 SDC is implemented in one LISB module

the LIS function of the SSG is implemented with 2 SS8|15 in one SSM8B module

8 SS16|16 are implemented in one SSM16B module

LIM and SGC functions are implemented in one SGCB

Interconnection of TSG and SSG

Fig. 7 shows an example of cable connections between TSG and SSG. An SN
126LTG was selected for this example. The duplication is not shown.
TIP
Each line represents two cables. Each cable contains the wires of 16SDC:SSG for
one transmission direction.

Protection Switching Options:

Fig. 8 shows the position of the switches in the LIS functional units (in the TSG LISB
and SSG SSM8B) for the following SN configurations:

TSG and SSG in SN0 are active

TSG and SSG in SN1 are in stand by status

If an active unit fails the configuration status is changed so that all LTG remain
available.
Examples of protection switching:

14

TSG 0-0 fails:

TSG and SSG in SN1 are activated automatically, SSG0-0 changes to standby

SSG 1-0 also fails:

TSG 1-0 and SSG0-0 become active and interoperate (crossover switching)

1.3 SN(B) Rack and Module Frames

Each SN rack always contains 2 SN module frames. These can be installed inside the
rack at the top or bottom. The remaining space inside the rack can be used for LTG
