3.2 GBFD-170101 Abis Self-planning(New/Basic)

Availability
This feature is available from GBSS17.0.
Summary
With Abis Self-planning, the control plane on the Abis interface supports self-configuration in
end point mode when the BSC and GBTS(UMPT) are interconnected. The BSC, serving as the
SCTP server, does not need the planning or configuration of the SCTP link. The GBTS(UMPT),
serving as the SCTP client, initiates an SCTP link establishment request. After an SCTP link is
established, it is associated with the upper-layer signaling. This simplifies the configurations of
the Abis interface.

GSM BSS
Benefits
l
This feature simplifies the control-plane data configuration of the BSC, and therefore
reduces the network maintenance cost and total cost of operation (TCO).
In SingleRAN scenarios, this feature provides unified OM experience on the control plane.
Description
With this feature, the control plane on the Abis interface uses self-configuration in end point
mode on the BSC side when the Abis interface uses IP transmission. In this case, only the SCTP
server data needs to be configured on the BSC, and SCTP link data and upper-layer signaling
data associated with the SCTP link do not need to be configured on the BSC.
During deployment, the GBTS(UMPT) obtains the IP address and port number of the SCTP
server either from the U2000 or by manual configuration and then initiates an SCTP negotiation
procedure. After an SCTP link is established, the GBTS(UMPT) sends its identity information
to the SCTP server. The SCTP server parses this information and then maps the SCTP link onto
the upper-layer signaling.
Enhancement
None

System Capacity
No impact.
Network Performance
This feature has the following impact on network performance:
l
When an eGBTS accesses the network and tries to establish a signaling link for the first
time, establishing a signaling link in end point mode takes about 5s to 10s more than that
in link mode. However, time required for establishing a signaling link in end point mode
is the same as that in link mode after an eGBTS is reset.
After a signaling link is automatically established, if the local SCTP IP address or port
number is modified on the eGBTS, the system automatically establishes a new signaling
link instead of modifying the established signaling link.
3.2.3 NEs
This feature is implemented on the BSC and eGBTS.
3.2.4 Hardware
No impact.

This feature adds a new IE to the Huawei proprietary Abis message eGBTS CPBearer Set Info.
The new IE is used by the eGBTS to report its identity to the BSC.

When the Abis or Iub interface is based on TDM over E1/T1 and the S1 interface is based
on IP over GE, the three modes can obtain the reference clock from the clock synchronized
from the Abis or Iub E1/T1.
Common Ethernet reference clock from S1 interface

When common Ethernet reference clock is used, GSM and UMTS can obtain the reference
clock via the BBU backplane from the LTE main control board LMPT/UMPT.
Common IP network 1588V2 reference clock from S1 interface

When GSM, UMTS and LTE BTS support 1588V2 reference clock, only one 1588V2 clock
server and client are required. GSM and UMTS can obtain the clock via the BBU backplane
from the LTE main control board LMPT/UMPT.

SRAN10.0:
Common IP network 1588V2 reference clock for time synchronization from S1 interface
When GSM, UMTS, and LTE support the 1588V2 reference clock for time
synchronization, only one 1588V2 clock server and one 1588V2 clock client are required.
GSM and UMTS can obtain the reference clock for time synchronization via the BBU
backplane from the LTE main control board LMPT/UMPT.
