iBSC Product Overview
The iBSC system is built in a standard 19-inch cabinet, and the dimension of height* width* depth is 2000* 600* 800 (mm). The system architecture of iBSC is shown as the following figure:
Figure 3-1
ZXG10 iBSC System Architecture
ZXG10 iBSC provides three types of shelves. With different functions, the shelves are named as Control Shelf, Switch Shelf, and Resource Shelf. Control Shelf: responsible for the control plane processing, O&M processing and clocking. The Control Shelf includes OMP, CMP, CLKG, UIMC, SBCX, CHUB boards etc. Resource Shelf: responsible for the user plane processing and interface accessing, includes DTB, SPB2, SDTB2, GUP2, GUIM boards etc. Switch Shelf: provides packet switch platform and supports several Resource Shelf user-plane expansion. The Switch Shelf includes GLI, PSN and UIMC boards etc. It is easy for shelf expansion according to the traffic increase, which is shown in the following figure:

According to the function, there are three kinds of iBSC boards, including processing boards, interface boards and auxiliary boards. Processing boards are the most important part in iBSC, which is responsible for the control plane processing and user plane processing. Interface boards are responsible for the transmission interface and protocol processing. Auxiliary boards provide system control, data switch, system operation and maintenance.
3.2.1
Processing Boards
There are three types of processing boards: CMP, GUP2, and SPB2. CMP is Control Main Processor, responsible for the Control plane processing. GUP2 is GSM Universal Processing board, used for user plane processing. SPB2 is Signaling Processing Board, used for processing singling plane data. They are dimensioned based on following factors: 1. 2. TRX number CS call service (Erl)
3. 4. 5.

Each CMP supports 1024 TRX&5000Erl&512Cell processing capacity and is deployed with 1+1 backup; GUP2 can be configured in A/Abis/Gb/Ater interface. For different interface and different transmission type, Different processing capacity of GUP2 is shown in the following table:

Auxiliary Boards
There are some boards used to provide the system control, data switch, system operation, maintenance, and so on. OMP is used to monitor and manage all of the boards in the system, and to implement the general processing of the system and route protocol management. SBCX provides the operation and maintenance management agent functionality. CLKG board is responsible for the clock supply and external synchronization. CHUB is for control plane data switching among different shelves. UIMC is for the switching function of control plane processing boards, and clock distribution. Information switching of UIMC boards in different shelves is implemented by CHUB. GUIM is for the switching function of user plane processing boards. Information switching of GUIM boards in different shelves is implemented by GLI and PSN. GLI and PSN are used for user plane data switching among different resource shelves.

This document is a dimensioning document. It defines the input for the dimensioning of interface of iBSC, and defines the dimensioning methodology of iBSC. In order to do the dimensioning for the of iBSC, the first steps is to analysis the traffic profile, for some uncertain traffic parameter, assumption is necessary, to set reasonable values for the dimensioning methodology, and then use the dimensioning methodology to calculate the of iBSC configuration.
