1.1 Current Network Situation
The current global system for mobile communications (GSM) network adopts the traditional
transmission technology of Time division multiplexing (TDM). Network elements connectwith each other in the star topology and network elements with different functions connect
with each other in the hierarchical topology. The network topology is complex.
In addition, because TDM transmission devices are relatively complex, the cost for network
construction and maintenance is high.
The development of the IP network makes it an inevitable choice for network evolution to
provide integrated voice, data and video services based on the IP packet technology.
During the evolution from the GSM network to the network of universal mobile
telecommunications system (UMTS), the packet transmission technology will be introducedgradually. The final aim is to evolve to the all-IP network.
The current GSM network must introduce the packet transmission technology based on IP
during such evolution processes as network expansion, upgrade and device replacement. Onone hand, it meets the trend of network evolution. On the other hand, because the IP network
technology is simple and universal, it can reduce the cost for network construction andoperation effectively.
The UMG8900 is designed based on the softswitch architecture. The UMG8900 networks
with Huawei MSC server under the separated architecture. This networking completely
supports various narrowband voice and data services of the current GSM network. In addition,the IP packet transmission technology is introduced to meet smooth evolution from the TDM
to IP packet network.

When serving as the FMC MGW, the UMG8900 can enable the UMTS, CDMA, and NGN
networks to share resources of one physical MGW. The UMG8900 can provide multiple
applications, complete bearer interworking on the service plane, and provide various servicebearer resources and abundant user access functions.
Under the softswitch separate architecture, the UMG8900 is controlled by the MSC server.
For the UMG8900, a physical MGW can be logically divided into multiple VMGWs thatprovide independent functions and be managed by different softswitches. For example, after a
UMG8900 is divided into two VMGWs, they are controlled by the fixed softswitch and the
mobile softswitch separately so that the FMC application is implemented.
No VMGW need be divided on the UMG8900 if:

1.4 Network Evolution
The evolution process of the GSM network is GSMgeneral packet radio service system
(GPRS)UMTS R99 UMTS R4 UMTS R5 UMTS R6, and finally to an all-IPpacket network where the core networks of the mobile and fixed networks are integrated to
achieve integrated service access.
The typical characteristics at each phase are shown in Table 1-1.
Table 1-1GSM network evolution
Phase Characteristics
GSM The air interfaces adopt the frequency division multiple access (FDMA) and time
division multiple access (TDMA) modes. All the transport networks adopt theTDM mode and comply with GSM series of specifications. The core network
adopts the hierarchical architecture. The network connections are complex andthe end-to-end delay is very low.
GPRS Two physical entities, namely, gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) and servingGPRS support node (SGSN), are overlaid on the current GSM network. The air
interfaces in the access network have no change. Packet service processing
interfaces are added to base station controllers (BSCs).
UMTSR99 The air interfaces adopt the CDMA mode. The transmission between accessnetworks and between access networks and the core network is based on theasynchronous transfer mode (ATM). The architecture of the core network has no
change. The UMTS R99 network complies with relevant 3GPP R99 standards.
The core network is divided into the CS and PS domains. The CS domain
provides voice and narrowband data services. The PS domain provides
high-speed packet services. The CS domain is based on the TDM mode, which is
the same as that in the GSM network.

into two entities, the MSC Server and MGW. The core network supportsTDM/ATM/IP connections. The network evolves toward a flattened architecture
and the networking is more flexible.
The PS domain of the core network is the same as that in the R99.
UMTS
R5
Based on the R4, the IMS domain is introduced. The UMTS R5 network achieves
the integrated access of voice, data and video services and provides IP
multimedia services.
The R4 CS domain is retained to provide voice and narrowband data services.
UMTS
R6
The IMS domain is enhanced to achieve the interworking with current different
networks and the interworking between different IMS domains.
At different phases of network evolution, the UMG8900 applications are shown in Figure 1-5.

2.1 Hardware Features
2.1.1 Packet and TDM Switch Integrated PlatformThe UMG8900 hardware platform is designed to support both TDM circuit switching services
and IP packet switching services.
The packet and TDM switch-integrated platform addresses the requirements for the TDM
network and packet network as well. Therefore, the present networks can evolve to all-IPnetworks smoothly through software upgrade instead of hardware replacement so as to protect
investment.
2.1.2 Series of Hardware Platforms
The UMG8900 supports two types of frames, the SSM-256 frames and the SSM-32 frames.
Each type of frames can self-cascade with frames of the same type or cascade with frames of
the other type. Different cascading modes enable the optimum configuration of 16 to 7168E1/T1 channels in the synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH), E1 and T1 transmission modes to
protect investment effectively.
The UMG8900 supports series of hardware platforms, as listed in Table 2-1.

The configuration of each type of boards of the UMG8900 must comply with the board matchinglimitation. Otherwise, services cannot run normally.
2.1.3 Powerful Cascading Functions
The SSM-256 frames and SSM-32 frames of the UMG8900 support the multi-frame
cascading function. The two hardware platforms can cascade independently or with each other,
as described below respectively.
SSM-256 Self-Cascading
The SSM-256 and SSM-32 frames of the UMG8900 support multi-frame cascading, either
self-cascading or mixed cascading. The following describes these two kinds of cascading
respectively.
In the SSM-256 self-cascading mode, the UMG8900 supports up to nine frames. The
SSM-256 frame supports two types of cascading boards as follows:
TNU (MTNU/TCLU), FLU (UG01FLU), and BLU (UG01BLU)This type of boards supports 3 x 8 K TDM cascading between frames. The MTNUs are
configured in the main control frame in the single-frame networking or in the central
switching frame (2 frames). The TCLUs are configured in a service frame.
TNU (MTNB), FLU (UG02FLU), and BLU (UG02BLU.A and UG02BLU.C)
This type of boards supports 4 x 8 K TDM cascading between frames. When the MTNBsare used, both types of frames adopt the MTNBs.
The SSM-256 frames can adopt three self-cascading modes, as shown in Table 2-3.
Table 2-3SSM-256 self-cascading modes
Cascading
Mode
Major Board Remarks
Mode 1 The MTNB is
used as the
TDM
switching andcascading
board.
Except the control frame, other frames use the MTNBs to
provide four 8 K TDM cascading channels between
frames.
In this mode, the cascading board uses the BLU/FLU thatprovides four 8 K TDM cascading channels.
Mode 2 The MTNU
and TCLU are
used as theTDM
switching and
cascadingboards.
The central switching frame is configured with the MTNU.
The main control frame and service frames are configured
with the TCLU. The control frame requires noconfiguration of cascading board. There are three 8 K
TDM cascading channels between frames.
In this mode, the cascading board uses the BLU/FLU thatprovides three 8 K TDM cascading channels.

Major Board Remarks
Mode 3 The MTNU
and MTNB
are used as the
TDMswitching and
cascading
boards.
The central switching frame is configured with the MTNU.
The central switching frame can be configured with the
BLU/FLU that provides four 8 K TDM cascading channelsto cascade with a service frame that is configured with the
MTNB.
The central switching frame can be configured with the
BLU/FLU that provides three 8 K TDM cascading
channels to cascade with a service that is configured with
the TCLU.
Among the above three modes, modes 1 and 2 mainly apply to new offices and mode 3 mainly applies to
the expansion where the MTNB is added based on the original configuration of the MTNU. The three
cascading modes are the same except the cascading boards and the capacities of TDM cascading
channels between frames.
Take the TNU (MTNB) and the BLU/FLU that provides 4 x 8 K TDM cascading channels as
an example. The nine-frame cascading is shown in Figure 2-1.

Mode 2 differs from mode 1 in the main control frame. In mode 1, the main control frame
provides the service and device management functions. In mode 2, the main control frame
provides the device management and cascading functions. That is, in mode 2, cascadingboards are inserted in the main control frame to connect with service frames.
The CLK in the main control frame can be configured in the central switching framenumbered 0. In this case, the central switching frame does not provide the cascading function
and can hold service boards to process services.
In the SSM-256 self-cascading mode, the independent CLK must be configured. Through
clock distribution cables, the CLK provides clock signals for the SSM-256 frame where noCLK is configured.
SSM-32 Self-Cascading
When SSM-32 frames self-cascade independently, the UMG8900 supports up to three frame.

The cascading mode between frames is 2 x TDM + 1 x FE + 1 x GE. If the UG01TNC isconfigured in the frame, the cascading mode between frames is 1 x TDM + 1 x FE + 1 x GE.
The NLU must be configured to implement GE cascading. The NLU can be configured in
back slot 4/5 or 10/11 only.
SSM-256 and SSM-32 Mixed Cascading
In the case of the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading, the central switching frame uses an
SSM-256 frame, and the main control frame and service frames can use SSM-32 or SSM-256frames. If no GE cascading is required, the system supports the cascading mode of 1SSM-256 frame + 28 SSM-32 frames or the cascading mode of 1 SSM-256 frame + n x
SSM-256 frames + (7 n) x 4 x SSM-32 frames. Here, n 7.
In the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading mode, the cascading between SSM-256 frames
is the same as the SSM-256 self-cascading. Following is the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixedcascading when an SSM-256 frame acts as the central switching frame.
If the UG02TNC is configured in the SSM-32 frame, the SSM-256 frame can cascade the
SSM-32 frame in two modes. In one mode, the SSM-256 frame cascade the SSM-32 frame
through the NET and the TNB, as shown in Figure 2-4.

In mode 1, an SSM-256 frame serves as the central switching frame. In the SSM-256 frame,the physical board of the TNU is the MTNB. In the SSM-32 frame, the physical board of the
TNU is the MTNC.
The cascading mode between the SSM-32 frame and the SSM-256 central switching frame is2 x TDM + 1 x FE + 1 x GE. The TNB provides the TDM cascading channel. The TNC andthe NET provide the FE cascading channel. The NLU and the NET provide the GE cascading
channel. If the UG01TNC is configured in the SSM-32 frame, the cascading mode between

The physical board of the FLU/BLU is the BLU supporting 4 x 8 K TDM cascading. The
cascading mode between the SSM-32 frame and the SSM-256 central switching frame is 2 x
TDM + 1 x FE + 1 x GE. The BLU in the SSM-256 frame provides the TDM/GE/FEcascading channel. The TNC in the SSM-32 frame provides the TDM/FE cascading channel.
The NLU in the SSM-32 frame provides the GE cascading channel. If the UG01TNC isconfigured in the SSM-32 frame, the cascading mode between frames is 1 x TDM + 1 x FE +
1 x GE.
In the actual networking application, the SSM-256 and SSM-32 mixed cascading mode can
work with the preceding two cascading modes. That is, the central switching frame cascade
with the main control frame through the NET, and cascade with the SSM-32 service framethrough the BLU.
If no GE cascading is required, an SSM-256 frame can cascade 28 SSM-32 frames. In the
case of E1-only networking, the 2 x TDM + 1 x FE + 1 x GE cascading mode is usually
adopted, and an SSM-256 frame can cascade 14 SSM-32 frames. In the case of STM-1-onlynetworking, the 4 x TDM + 1 x FE + 2 x GE cascading mode is usually adopted, and an
SSM-256 frame can cascade 7 SSM-32 frames.

networking with the GTSOFTX3000 and the GT800
Acting as an IM-MGW to realize service interworking between the IMS and the circuit
switched (CS) domain and support transparent transmission of H.264 and MPEG4 videocodes
IP-based Iu interface
Both the RAN and CN adopt IP packet transmission technology to construct an all-IP
network. Thus, the RAN and CN may share the IP bearer network.
IP-based A interface
Both the BSS and NSS adopt the IP packet transmission technology to construct an all-IPnetwork. Thus, the BSS and NSS may share the IP bearer network.
SCTP multi-homing
Multiple IP addresses in one SCTP association are supported by both ends. Thus, the
end-to-end multi-path transmission mechanism is realized, which is more reliable for the
upper layer subscribers.

2.2.2 Networking FlexibilityThe UMG8900, developed based on the softswitch architecture, is not only compatible withTDM switching networks but also able to push TDM networks to evolve to IP packet
switching networks.
The UMG8900 interacts with the MSC server through the H.248 protocol. They together
serve as a VMSC/TMSC/GMSC of the GSM/UMTS R99 core network. The UMG8900 canindependently work as an MGW in the UMTS R4 network or an IM-MGW in the IMS.
The UMG8900 and MSC server can be installed in different places and connect with eachother in the IP packet mode.
Multiple UMG8900s can be managed by one MSC server. Different UMG8900s
communicate with each other by TDM/IP. The MSC server is placed in a central city for the
sake of easy maintenance. The UMG8900 is placed in an area of dense traffic. Thus, theUMG8900 can access the base station subsystem (BSS) or RAN nearby to reduce roundabout
traffic and improve the QoS. At the same time, the flat network architecture and connectionmode support flexible networking. The UMG8900 can form a big local network or build avirtual dedicated network through user division based on areas on the MSC server.
The UMG8900 supports the integrated gateway exchange function and realizes interworkingamong the NGN, IMS, GSM, UMTS, and CDMA networks.
In addition, the UMG8900 can provide the agent A-Flex/Iu-Flex function to implement MSC
Pool networking. The devices in the access network can interconnect with each MSC Server
in MSC Pool without being upgraded. The MSC Servers in Pool can share resources and load.If an MSC Server fails, another MSC Server in Pool can take over subscribers of the faulty
MSC Server. Thus, network disaster recovery is implemented.
2.2.3 Large Capacity and High Density
A UMG8900 frame adopts the standard 19-inch structure and offers front and back slots inpair. One frame provides 32 slots to increase the capacity of a single frame effectively.
The UMG8900 provides the multi-frame cascading function and supports up to 29 frames.
You can flexibly configure the UMG8900 based on the actual networking and user capacity.
2.2.4 Smooth Expansion
The UMG8900 is designed based on the distributed modular architecture. Different boards
and software modules perform different service functions.
To expand and upgrade the UMG8900, you can add related service boards to existing frames.
If the capacity exceeds the limit of existing frames, you can add frames in the cascading modeto achieve the upgrade. Because the UMG8900 supports a wide range of capacity, it can meet
the requirements of expansion in most applications. The cascading mode enables theUMG8900 to take the form of one network element, which is convenient for maintenance andmanagement.
