1 Overview
In general, GSM/EDGE/UMTS system consists of Core Network (CN), Radio Network
Subsystem (GERAN/UTRAN) and Mobile Station/User Equipment (MS/UE).
GERAN/UTRAN includes 2 network elements, base station and BSC/RNC. The
conventional 2G/3G BTS connects to BSC/RNC or MS/UE via Abis/Iub or Um/Uu
interface respectively. The flowing figureErro! Fonte de referência não encontrada.

2G/3G radio networks will be converged into one and this will decrease the network
construction cost greatly. The GSM/UMTS integrated network is shown in following

carrier); For GU dual mode configuration, the typical power consumption is less than
215 W (4 TRXs+1 carrier).

2.5 Smooth Evolution

l RSU60E software and hardware support full-feature EDGE and UMTS/HSPA. In the
future evolution to Enhanced EDGE and HSPA+, only software upgrade is
necessary.
3 Functionality
RSU60E is the radio part of full function base station. The signal is transmitted/received
through RSU60E to base band processing unit for a further processing by CPRI interface.

l Support transmit power reporting function for every carrier;
l Support over loading protection function for power amplifier;
l Support measurement, compensation and adjustment function for channel delay;
l Support transmit channel switching on/off function;
l One RSU60E software fault for itself will not affect the running of BBU and other
RSU.

Application layer consists of RFS (Radio Frequency Sub-system) and OAM (Operating
and Maintenance) sub-systems. Its main function contains software downloading,
configuration, management, system maintenance and measurement.
OSS (Operation Support Sub-system) is the support layer in this entire framework, which
is a hardware irrespective platform for running software and provides basic functions like
scheduling, timer, memory management, communication, sequencing control, monitoring,
alarming and logging.
BSP (Board Support Package) supports the information routing to the GSM, UMTS and
