Introduction Licence key-based Feature Management • Licence key-based feature management means that the use of certain features is controlled by licences. Once a valid licence has been installed, it is possible to activate and deactivate the application software covered by the licence. • One licence key file may, in practice, cover one or more features. • Licence management is handled in the BSC as in previous generation BTSs • Licence types : Capacity licence

On/off licence

• defines the allowed capacity that the feature can use or provide. • Capacity licences permit the capacity to be increased stepwise by installing more capacity licences i.e. capacity increments for the same feature(s). • The capacities of these licences are then summed up to get the total capacity that the feature is allowed to use or provide. 7


• non-capacity feature licence • allows the feature to run without capacity limitations Both licence types above can be timelimited. This means that the licence covering the feature has a pre-defined expiration date, which is stated in the licence file.

RA22762EN01GLA0

-The SW license managament feature is an improvement over the CX(M) UltraSite and MetroSite BTS product families. -No SW license or keys needed for production testing -LAPD links are created and the base stations are created to the BSC's radio network database: In terms of BSC, a base station consists of BCF, BTSs, TRXs, and handover and power control parameters. -The BTS SW receives BCF, OMU or TRX startup BTS_CONF_DATA messages from BSC. E.g. Abis signal mapping is sent to BTS in BTS_CONF_DATA always when BCF, BTS or TRX unlock is done or BCF reset is run.

Features supported by Flexi Multiradio BTS GSM/EDGE – TRX capacity management • Flexi Multiradio BTS GSM/EDGE EX3.1 Software license management feature introduces BTS TRX capacity management based on the operator needs. This feature enables flexible usage of the base station in the network based on the capacity requirement.

• Each BSC has a pool of TRXs that can be allocated to its BTSs. If the required TRX cabling is already done in Flexi EDGE BTS, it is possible to take an extra (unused) TRX into service without a site visit.

• The usage of Flexi EDGE TRX software is controlled by a Flexi Multiradio TRX HW Activation Licence. The licence sets a limit for unlocked Flexi Multiradio TRX count under a Flexi EDGE BTS. Operator cannot unlock or modify Flexi EDGE BTS without the licence.

• Each FXxA module (RF Module) provides max 18 GSM/EDGE carriers. Each TRX within FXxA can be separately activated with the SW licence key -> one carrier increments possible. Application software in Configurator Tool Flexi Multiradio TRX HW Activation

Features supported by Flexi Multiradio BTS GSM/EDGE – Licensed transmission features • Licensed Flexi Multiradio BTS integrated transmission features will be supported in EX3.1 and be managed in the BSC, but the configuration must be done locally at the BTS site. • If the feature state is ON in BSC, user is able to enable transmission features usage in BCF creation and modification by setting values of the new BCF parameters. • Further functionality can be easily added later on by additional software licence. The protection of these functionalities will be integrated with the next software releases.

2G Flexi TRS Loop Protection © Nokia Siemens Networks

RA22762EN01GLA0 Protection

Pseudo-wire Emulation: New transmission technology called "pseudowire emulation“, which is basically about emulation of circuit switched signals like E1 or T1 via a packet switched network/ethernet. Loop protection: protection method where traffic is routed via two routes around a ring FIFA: FIFA has 2 Flexbus interfaces. Flexbus 1 can be used without any licence and Flexbus 2 usage requires a separate licence. To activate Flexbus 2 interface an Additional Flexbus (FB) interface licence must be ordered and installed for FIFA. The file is delivered through software delivery channels and can easily be installed either locally or remotely over the Q1 management channel using FlexiHub Manager. Licence is implemented using secure plain text files generated and authorised by Nokia Siemens Networks. If the licence file gets lost or becomes corrupted, the valid licensed user can get a replacement from Nokia Siemens Networks without paying for the feature twice. The licence is bound to the unit's serial number and cannot be used in another unit. If FIFA hardware is swapped by Nokia Siemens Networks in a hardware failure case, a new licence file is generated. Additional Flexbus (FB) interface licence for FIFA is permanent and, once installed, will not expire. Note that FIFA includes an introductory time-limited trial licence (60 days) for the Flexbus 2 interface. Once the non-time limited licence has been purchased and downloaded to the unit, the licensed feature can be activated or deactivated as often as needed.

Flexi Multiradio BTS GSM/EDGE Licensed Features & SW Compatibility Licence Activation

23


RA22762EN01GLA0

RA22762EN01GLA0

23


Licence Activation Overview • A network operator who wants to acquire a licensed feature buys the licence, installs it in the BSC can then activate the feature. One licence file may, in practice, cover one or more features.

• BSC controls that used capacities do not exceed the licenced capacities. Separate feature code for each feature is used.

• User can enable/disable each feature online separately for every BCF via MML/FBPP/Q3. BSC check if the feature state is on and feature has enough capacity in BCF creation and modification when the user tries to enable the feature.

• Configured capacity values for a BCF are stored into Radio Network Database in BSC. When user enables or disables the feature or changes the feature capacity, BSC updates the new values to BTS.

Licence Activation Licence control in BSC • The licence is a long term licence and it sets a limit for unlocked Flexi Multiradio BTS GSM/EDGE TRX count.

• Operator cannot unlock or modify Flexi EDGE BTS without the licence. • If the Flexi EDGE TRX licence does not exist or feature state is OFF, then Flexi EDGEspecific options are not shown to the user in MML commands. – When the licence has expired, operator cannot unlock TRXs

• If the user has had the licence in CONF or ON state and created Flexi EDGE BTS, then Flexi EDGE-related parameters are shown to user even if the licence state is OFF.

• BTS site type name used in MML commands is Flexi Multiradio BTS GSM/EDGE. • BSC checks that the licence is valid and that operator cannot have more Flexi EDGE TRXs in use than the licence allows.

• Operator can also check the amount of Flexi EDGE TRXs that are in use. • The current capacity level usage is requested with service fmn_capacity_usage_inquiry_as from BSC software that has registered itself as capacity manager (PUBDAT).
