Introduction to IPGb Function

 IPGb refers to a type of networking, which uses the IP

transmission network on the Gb interface as an
intermediate network to connect iBSC and SGSN.

 For IP transmission on the Gb interface, we can use the

point-to-point dedicated network (intranet) or a publish IP
transmission network (internet).

Boards Related to IPGb Configuration

 IPGB Board
 It is BIPI board on the 100M platform; GIPI board, on the
1000M platform;
 It is an interface board for IP Gb, which means to
distribute the data of the user plane and the control plane.
 UPPB/UPPB2 Board
 It is UPPB board on the 100M platform; GUP2 board on
the 1000M platform;
 It is used to process the service data.

Configuration Type
 The NSVC configuration methods of IPGb falls into two types:
static configuration and dynamic configuration.
 Static configuration is applied when the point-to-point dedicated
network is used. As FR Gb, IP Gb requires a consistent static
configuration between iBSC and SGSN.
 Dynamic configuration(or static configuration) is applied when the
public network connection is used on the Gb interface. In this case,
the NS sub-layer provides a set of SNS dynamic flow for the
dynamic configuration.

Configuring NSE (2)

 NSE ID: It must be the same as that at SGSN side;
 Sub-network type: Choose “IP” for IP Gb;
 Configuration type: static configuration & dynamic
configuration;
 Static configuration is used for the point-to-point dedicated network;
it requires manual configuration for parameter consistency.

 Pre-configured SGSN IP address: It is the IP address of

SGSN; it must be configured, if the dynamic configuration
type is adopted;
 Pre-configured SGSN UDP port No.: It is the UDP port No.
of SGSN; it must be configured, if the dynamic
configuration type is adopted;
