Dimensioning
Flexi BSC
Dimensioning concept same as with BSC3i:
- All static and dynamic limits are checked against the corresponding values determined per
planning area
- The basic formula is used to calculate the number of BSCs in a given area

min N BSC max
max N TRX , BSC

Dimensioning
PCU2-E
PCU2-E has several static limits (#Abis channels, #TRX, #BTS, #segments, #EDAPs, )
(For details about PCU2-E static limits please refer to product documentation)
Usually the most critical parameter in PCU dimensioning is the number of Abis
channels that can be managed by PCU
PCU2-E serves 1024 Abis channels@16 kbps
PCU2-D serves 256 Abis channels@16 kbps

The number of Exchange Terminals (of given type) depend on how many PCM lines is
terminated in Flexi BSC and what connectivity configuration has been chosen
The number of PCM lines can be computed by means of the formula below:
N PCM , BSC N PCM _ Abis , BSC N PCM _ Ater , BSC N PCM _ Gb , BSC
The next step is to decide which PCM lines will be connected to ET16, ETS2 and ETIP
and to compute the required amount of PIU and cartridges to be installed

Feature Request Sheet, FRS 94060, version 2.0, May 2007
Number of ETIP are needed to map the desired TDM traffic into a
PSN using Ethernet links with chosen bandwidth (FE vs. GE) . The
following dimensioning aspects are:
Decide/choose which particular lines shall be mapped to a PSN
Define PWs (from TSS) for each PCM line to be mapped to a PSN
Define how many TDM frames shall be multiplexed within particular
CESoPSN packets
Compute a bandwidth required by each and every PW
Compute the number of required ETIP1-A

Calculation example
Given:
-
Calculations:
-
packetization latency = 125 Nf = 1000 s (cf. eq. 2) => will be needed for time budget
payload = 8 * TSS * Nf = 1984 bits (cf. eq. 2) => 248 bytes; payload size acceptable
header = 8 * header_length = 592 bits (cf. eq. 2)
BW / PW = (1984 + 592) / 1000 = 2.576 Mbit/s (cf. eq. 1)
OHF = (1984 + 592) / 1984 = 1.29 29% (cf. eq. 4)
BW / PSN = 2.576 * 126 = 324.58 Mbit/s (cf. eq. 7)
GE link load = 324.58 / 1000 = 32.5% => all 126 E1 can be served by 1 ETIP
FE link load = 324.58 / 100 = 324.6 % => not possible!!!

TCSM aspects
Stand-alone TCSM3i has the following characteristics
Comprises of 16 TC2C cartridges in a single Transcoder Cabinet
Each TC2C houses 2 TR3E/TR3A PIUs
If the whole Ater is over IP the Ater ETIP in TCSM3i has to be configured as a synch master and an
ETIP in the BSC as a synch slave.
21
RN20092EN14GLN0
Redundancy aspects
ETIP1-A PIU is represented by functional unit ETIP
Redundancy implementation concept are:
HW protection (N+N, active PIU has its own spare one)
Line protection (each board has two individual Ethernet interfaces while only one of them is
active at the time)
IP addressing
IP addresses of the devices installed in FlexiBTS, BSC3i, TCSM3i are used
during creation of PSN tunnel and its PWs: any mismatch is to be avoided
