Architecture OverviewArchitectural change

Robustness, better ISP, basically the system shall have 0 downtime. Software upgrade with 0 downtime. Scalability up to 4 million subscribers (approx. 400000- 500000

subscribers per MSC blade). Lower manufacturing costs than traditional APZ hardware. Migration towards IMS (How secure are investments in Ericsson CS

CN?) Footprint reduction State of the art system Ericsson has to stay competitive against competitors:

– Huawei already has a server for 1.8 Msub– Nokia already has a server for 1.2 Msub– Ericsson has 0.8 Msub server with (APZ 212 50)

“Classical” MSC-S versus Blade Cluster

MSC-S :

– High available node offering maximum flexibility for optimum network design

– Connecting to outside world via all possible signaling bearers– Freedom in physical location– Flexible pool design, geographical redundancy

MSC-S Blade Cluster

– The ones above +…– Highly scalable node– Optimal for high traffic concentration– Fits all operator capacity needs (from small to very large subscriber

capacity)– Improved redundancy scheme (n+1 on MSC blades)– Make use of the newest HW (common also for other modern platforms,

i.e. IMS)– Less manufacturing Costs

What is MSC-Server Blade Cluster? Based on a New HW Concept

MSC Server is based on a new HW concept

– Integrated Site infrastructure

– Traffic load on MSC-S blades

Same SW and HW features as in current MSC-S

Fig 1. Conceptual view of MSC Server Blade Cluster cabinet

Integrated Site infrastructure

MSC-S blades for traffic load

Integrated Site (IS) shared resources on blades for routing, ethernet

switching, network management etc

Current MSC-S HW technology

Single external interface (Signalling Proxy) to other network nodes

O&M and charging support (I/O)

MSC-S on blades for easy scalability and ultra-high capacity on small footprint

Architecture OverviewBasic components MSC and TSC blades

– MSC traffic handling and service execution (no need for RPs)– Single sided CPs based on GEP board family

SPX nodes (including traditional APT equipment)– Signaling aggregation of C7 traffic and conversion to IP based

signaling towards the blades– Double sided CPs based on GEP board family

APG43 IOs– IO, collection of charging and statistical data for the MSC-, TSC-

blades and the SPX nodes, Alarm boards, Media– Double sided CPs based on GEP board family, Generic Disk board

and Generic Alarm board SIS blades

– O&M of the IS-L2 infrastructure– O&M for ISER

IS-L2 Ethernet switches (MXB,EXB)– Redundant L2 connectivity between the components

ISER– IP signaling traffic connectivity and routing

Handles RANAP, BSSAP, MAP …. Node Functions are: O-MSC, GMSC, T-MSC, SSF SUA is used between SPX and MSC blades Only one SPC for all MSC blades together, except for GCP where

a M-MGW sees each blade Initial incoming messages are distributed on weighted round robin

to the MSC blade– Distribution function on the MSC Blade transfers the message to

the right blade

Subsequent message will stick to the used SCCP connection reference or TCAP transaction id

GCP is either based on SCTP directly or M3UA

MSC-S Blade Cluster ConceptKey Mechanisms

Three key mechanisms provide the outstanding node availability of the MSC-S Blade Cluster

– Key mechanism 1 Load distribution

– Key mechanism 2 VLR data replication

– Key mechanism 3 Cluster reconfiguration

The 1+1 redundancy of all vital components (SPX, SIS, I/O) provides overall server redundancy

MSC-S Blade Cluster Phase IIMSC-S R14.0 – BC 6.0

IUPCH (part 1) (Improved User-plane Circuit Handling)

– One virtual MGw for all MSC blades– Adaptation of the A-interface– Trunks remain on TSC blades as in Phase 1

Minimum O&M to support the other changes Support for “smooth” MSC blade expansion List of MSC-S R13.2 features:

– Iu/IP – Encryption of LI – Non-resilient/scalable SIP/SIP-I (including G.729 and RTCP)– AMR-WB
