Provides various service resources. These resources are closely related to the hardware. They encapsulate the TC/PCU and isolate the service control of the upper layer from the hardware platform to facilitate the hardware development.

2.4 Reliability The resource pool design and redundancy mechanism are widely used in the system reliability design of the BSC6900 GSM. The techniques of detecting and isolating the faults in the boards and in the system are optimized and the software fault tolerance capability is improved to enhance the system reliability.

2.4.1 System Reliability The BSC6900 GSM system reliability is designed with the following features:

High reliability architecture design The design of dual switching planes, with up to 120 Gbit/s GE star non-blocking switching capability per subrack, solves the bottleneck and single point failure in the deployment of the high-capacity BSC6900 GSM. Moreover, port trunking technology is adopted on the switching boards. The port trunking function allows data backup in case of link failure, thus preventing inter-plane switchover and cascading switchover and improving the reliability of intra-system communication. Dual clock planes are used in clock transmission between the GCUa and the SCUa. Thus, a single point of failure does not affect the normal operation of the system clock.

Resource pool design In case of overload, the system implements load sharing between the control plane and the user plane by employing the full resource pool design. This effectively avoids suspension because of overload, thus improving the resource utilization and system reliability.

Redundancy mechanism

Page 13 of 32

Page 14: Product Description for Gsm

GBSS9.0 BSC6900 Product Description

All the hardware in the BSC6900 GSM adopts the redundancy mechanism. The rapid switchover between active and standby parts improves the system reliability. Moreover, with the quick fault detection and recovery feature, the impact of faults on the service is minimized.

Flow control The system performs flow control based on the CPU and memory usage. Thus, the BSC6900 GSM can continue working by regulating the items pertaining to performance monitoring, resource auditing, and resource scheduling in the case of CPU overload and resource congestion. In this way, the system reliability is enhanced.

2.4.2 Hardware Reliability The BSC6900 GSM hardware reliability is designed with the following features:

The system uses the multi-level cascaded and distributed cluster control mode. Several CPUs form a cluster processing system. Each module has distinct functions. The communication channels between modules are based on the backup design or anti-suspension/breakdown design.

The system uses the redundancy design, as described in Table 2-5, to support hot swap of boards and backup of important modules. Therefore, the system has a strong error tolerance capability.

GBSS9.0 BSC6900 Product Description

Isolation mechanism is used. When entity A fails to accomplish a task, entity B that has the same functions as entity A takes over the task. Meanwhile, entity A is isolated until it is restored.

When a board with a single function is faulty, you can restart the board. All boards support dual-BIOS. Faults at one BIOS do not affect the startup or operation

of the boards. The system uses the non-volatile memory to store important data. With advanced integrated circuits, the system features high integration, sophisticated

technology, and high reliability. All the parts of the system are of high quality and pass the aging test. The process of

hardware assembly is strictly controlled. These methods ensure the high stability and reliability for long-term operation.

2.4.3 Software Reliability The BSC6900 GSM software reliability is designed with the following features:

Scheduled check on crucial resources The software check mechanism checks various software resources in the system. If a resource deadlock occurs because of software faults, the check mechanism can release the locked resources and generate related logs and alarms.

Task monitoring When the software is running, internal software faults and some hardware faults can be monitored through the monitoring process. The monitoring process monitors the task running status and reports errors to the OM system.

Data check The software performs regular or event-driven data consistency check, restores the data selectively or preferably, and generates logs and alarms.

Data backup Both the Back Administration Module and the host board support data backup to ensure data reliability and consistency.

Operation logs The system automatically records the history operations into logs. The operation logs help in locating and rectifying the faults caused by improper operations.
