Layer Functions
Internal Communication Control Plane (ICCP)
Transfers internal maintenance messages and service control messages between different processors, thus implementing efficient control over distributed communication.
Operates independent of the infrastructure layer.
Service Transport Control Plane (STCP)
Transports the service data on the user plane and control plane at the network layer between NEs.
Separates the service transport technology from the radio access technology and makes the service transport transparent to the upper-layer service.
Provides service bearer channels.
Application Implements the basic functions of network element service control and controls the upper-layer service, such as call processing, mobility management, and RRM.
Hides the topology characteristics of various resources in the network and in the equipment.
Provides the resource access interface, hides the distribution of internal resources and network resources, maintains the mapping between the service control and resource instance, and controls the association between various resources.
Manages the resources and OM status, responds to the resource request from the upper layer, and hides the resource implementation from the upper layer.
Isolates the upper-layer services from the hardware platform to facilitate the hardware development.
2.4 Reliability The resource pool and redundancy are widely used in the reliability design of the BSC6900 UMTS. 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 UMTS system reliability is designed with the following features:
High reliable 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 problem and prevents the single point failure in the deployment of the high-capacity BSC6900 UMTS. Moreover, port trunking 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.

RAN12.0 BSC6900 Product Description
Dual clock planes are used in clock transmission between the GCUa/GCGa board and the SCUa board. 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 achieves load sharing between the control plane and the user plane by employing the resource pooling functionality. This effectively avoids suspension because of overload, thus improving the resource utilization and system reliability.
Redundancy mechanism All the hardware in the BSC6900 UMTS supports the redundancy mechanism. The rapid switchover between active and standby parts improves the system reliability. Moreover, with the quick fault detection and rectification feature, the impact of the faults on the service is minimized.
Flow control The system performs flow control based on the CPU and memory usage. Thus, the BSC6900 UMTS 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 UMTS 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 redundancy design or anti-suspension/breakdown design.
The system uses the redundancy design, as described in Table 2-6, to support hot swap of boards and redundancy of important modules. Therefore, the system has a strong fault tolerance capability.

The isolation mechanism is used. When entity A fails to accomplish a task, entity B that has the same functionalities as entity A takes over the task. Meanwhile, entity A is isolated until it is restored.
When a board with a single functionality is faulty, the board can be restarted to rectify the fault.
All boards support dual-BIOS. When one BIOS is faulty, the startup or operation of a board is not affected.
The system uses the non-volatile memory to store important data. With advanced integrated circuits, the system is characterized by 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 UMTS 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 operating 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 data in the OMU database and the board data can be backed up to ensure data reliability and consistency.
Operation logs The system automatically records the history operations into logs. The operation logs help in identifying and rectifying the faults caused by improper operations.

After the upgrade is complete, version consistency check is performed to ensure the version correctness.
Rich Tracing and Detection Mechanisms for Reliably Monitoring the Network Status
The BSC6900 UMTS provides the tracing and detection functions of multiple layers and multiple levels to accurately locate faults. The tracing and detection functions include user tracing, interface tracing, message tracing, fault detection on the physical layer, fault detection on the data link layer, and detection of other faults.
The tracing messages are saved as files, which can be viewed through the review and tracing functions of the LMT.
Easy Equipment Installation, Commissioning, and Network Upgrade Before delivery, Huawei BSC6900 UMTS is installed with boards, operating system, and common data. In addition, it is correctly assembled and passes the rigid test. You only need to install the cabinet and cables on site. After the hardware installation is complete, you can load software and data files to commission the software and hardware.

management of the internal physical devices.
When a hardware fault occurs, the BSC6900 UMTS alerts the user by generating alarms and flashing indicators and provides suggestions to guide the user in troubleshooting. The alarm is cleared upon the rectification of the fault.
The BSC6900 UMTS provides the functions of isolating the faulty part, such as activating or deactivating the faulty function enables the rapid power-on of the substitute, thus reducing the time inrectification.
In case of emergency, you can reset the board to quickly rectify the fault.
tware Management Functions for Secure and Smooth Upgrade The BSC6900 UMTS provides the remote upgrade tool, which enables the operator to upgrade the software at the operation and maintenance center without affecting the ongoing services. The remote upgrade tool provides the function of backing up the crucial data in the system. When the upgrade fails, version rollback is performed immediately and the system returns to normal in a short
