MGW

DH is a networking mode. In the 3GPP R4 networking and later, one


MGW is homed to two MSC Servers. Normally, an MGW registers with
the active MSC Server. When the active MSC Server becomes faulty,
the MGW registers with the standby MSC Server so that the
subscribers can still enjoy services.

The active MSC Server

The standby MSC Server: we can also call it disaster recovery server, it is
used to backup the data and service for the active server;

The virtual MSC Server: the disaster recovery MSC Server is logically
partitioned into N+1 virtual MSC Servers. The virtual MSC Servers are
identified according to Server indexes. Server 0 always serves its own node
while others respectively serve as N (the number of virtual Servers except
Server 0) standby MSC Servers.

The DH networking mode

In DH solution, one MGW is homed to two MSC Servers. When the active MSC Server becomes faulty, the MGW
registers with the standby MSC Server so that the subscribers can still enjoy services. So that we can say, it
improves the networks reliability.

When an active MSC Server is going to be moved or upgraded, you can manually transfer its services to the
standby MSC Server. It improves the services continuity.

There is no special requirement for other network nodes and terminals.

Impacts of DH on Calling and


Billing
Impact on calling

During the DH switching, MGW will change the registered Server. The
resource will be provided by this MGW. All calls, being processed by the
original active MSC Server, will be interrupted. The MGW reclaims all
resources;
During the DH switching or backward, the MSC Server, which will take
over services, initiate reset to the trunk group. Then, terminals
(including callers and callees) will be released .

Impact on Billing:

During the DH switching, bills will be lost because they wouldnt be


generated by the original MSC Server in time,.
After switching, bills are generated on the iGWB of an current activated
MSC Server. The billing center connect the current iGWB to get bills.

Steps
If Switch mode of a virtual Server node in the local

office is set to Automatic, configuration steps are as


following:

Step 1: Use the command SET DHWM to set Work mode of


virtual Server node 0 to Assistant, Switch mode to Manual, and
Force state to Activated.

Step 2: Use the command ADD SRVNODE to set the assistant


MSOFTX3000 of a local one (for example, virtual Server node 1)
to a DH MSC Server node.

Step 3: Use the command ADD DHHCFG to add a DH heartbeat


link between a local MSOFTX3000 and its assistant
MSOFTX3000.

Step 4: Use the command SET DHWM to set Work mode of the

SET DHWM

Work mode, a parameter, is used to define the work


mode of a local office in a network. You can use the
command SET DHWM to set Work mode to Standalone or
Assistant.

Standalone: indicates the local MSOFTX3000 does not work in DH


mode.
Assistant: indicates the local MSOFTX3000 works in the DH mode.

It is only valid when Work mode is set to Assistant. It


defines the switch mode of a certain virtual Server node
in the local office.
It is valid when Switch mode is set to Automatic. It
defines the takeover mode when a certain local virtual
Server node is switched over automatically. The system
supports all the modes.

follows to implement the M2UA configuration:

Configure active ESG, M2UA link sets and links for virtual Server node 0.

Configure standby ESG and M2UA links and link sets for other virtual Server
nodes.

Configure one M2UA link set for the MGW (embedded ESG). The link set
contains two links, one of which is connected to an active MSC Server and the
other is connected to a standby MSC Server.

Configure an M2UA link on the MGW (embedded ESG). Then the M2UA link set
makes the link be managed by the virtual Server node that manages itself.

Every virtual MSC Server has its own mobility data, such as RNC,

sub system can be active, then the update location in virtual MSC
Server/VLR can completed successfully. For example, in the picture,
one terminals location update from LAI5 to LAI4.

Be more careful about the location update flow between the virtual
MSC Server/VLR. For example, the terminals location update from
LAI4 to LAI3.

DH Handover Flow

Intra-office handover data: The handover between location


areas in a same virtual Server node is the intra-office
handover. The data configuration is the same as that in
common cases. The handover from LAI-1 to LAI-2 or LAI-3
are all intra-office handover.

Inter-office handover data between different virtual Server


node: A location area whose local office is configured with a
virtual Server node will be configured as a local VLR location
area cell/service area. The LAI-3,LAI-4 are local VLRs
service area. But their virtual node is different. So, the
switch from LAI-3 to LAI-4 is intra-office handover.

Inter-office handover data between different MSC Servers is


same as common data.

The caller MS belongs to MGW1, the called MS belongs to the MGW2. After
DH switching, the MGW1 and the MGW2 are also intra-office circuit. So, it is
impossible to establish mesne bearing. The call can not be separated in
logic. Before DH, it is intra-office call, if we dont differentiate different
virtual nodes roaming number prefix, then, after DH, it will become intraoffice call. In local information, if we assign roaming number according to
MSC/VLR, then the roaming number in two virtual nodes can be separated.

DH Switch and Backward


Auto
Switch
Operation

The interruption of heartbeat links is the unique triggering condition


of auto switch.

Through data configuration, you can specify whether switch and


backward is allowed.

In the N+1 backup DH network, to perform the auto switch, use the
command SET DHWM to set Work mode of all nodes to
Assistant, Switch mode to Automatic, and Takeover mode to
Auto takeover. Then if any active MSOFTX3000 is faulty, and the
heartbeat link is interrupted, the standby MSOFTX3000 will auto
take over all services.

NOTE:

C/D interface congestion.


Paging channel congestion.

DH Switch and Backward


Manual Switch

Carry out the command SET DHWM on the active MSC Server, and
set the status of the active Server node 0 to Deactivated. Then,
carry out the command SET DHWM on the standby MSC Server,
and set the status of the proper virtual Server node to Activated.
Thus, services of the active MSC Server are taken over by the
corresponding virtual Server node on the standby MSC Server.

NOTE

Avoiding the C/D interface congestion.

Avoiding the paging channel congestion.

In addition, before the DH manual switch, make sure that the standby
MSC Server works normally. Otherwise, services will be interrupted after
the manual switch.

DH Switch and Backward


Auto Backward

After switched to a standby MSC Server, the active MSC Server will
auto switch back and take back all services from the standby MSC
Server, if it is recovered and restarted, and its heartbeat link is
recovered.

Before the DH switch, use the command SET DHWM to set Work
mode of all virtual Server nodes to Assistant, Switch mode to
Automatic, and Takeover mode to Auto backward. Then, when
the active MSC Server recovers, all services can auto transfer from
the standby MSC Server to the active MSC Server.

NOTE: In actual use, auto switch and manual backward are


recommended to minimize the time of service interruption and
avoid repeated switches during system abnormality.

DH Switch and Backward


Manual Backward

Manually setting the DH status is the unique triggering condition of


manual backward. In this case, whether to perform dualhoming
backward completely depends on manual setting.

Carry out the command SET DHWM on the standby MSC Server,
and set the status of the standby virtual Server node to
Deactivated. Then, carry out the command SET DHWM on the
active MSC Server, and set the status of the active virtual Server
node 0 to Deactivated. Thus, the virtual Server node 0 takes back
all services from the standby MSC Server.

NOTE: Before the manual backward, make sure that the active MSC
Server recovers. Otherwise, services will be interrupted after the
manual backward.
