Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) Protocol

Description

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................


Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is a network protocol used to detect faults between two endpoints over a particular link. In an IP BSS network architecture, IP Abis traffic is often aggregated from BTS sites in several points of concentration (POCs) of an access network, before reaching a central IP gateway, which is the starting point of a secured IP backbone towards TC, BSC, and MFS. The network access can be a layer 2 or a layer 3 access network. In most of the cases, it is not owned by the mobile operator, and Abis is backhauled through leased lines services. BFD is a tool to monitor the transport layer of the Abis through non managed transport network. The BFD IP address is used by the "next hop" router which implement the BFD protocol The address is configured via the BTS NEM and is retrieved by the OMC via through SNMP. If the network access does not provide path resiliency capability , BFD can be used as trigger of path switchover between a primary and a secondary route.


This feature is supported only by BTS 9100 (MBI3/MBI5, Outdoor) equipped with SUMX board.


The feature is optional. To activate this feature: •

•

From the Alcatel-Lucent Base Station - BTS NEM User Guide window follow the menu path: Configuration -> IP... -> BFD IP Address The "BFD Responder IP Address" window opens Enter the required BFD IP Address and click on [OK].

The default value is 0.0.0.0 and means that BFD is not activated; that value indicates that the operator does not provide any IP address yet and is not displayed on the OMC. The BFD IP address must be different from the BTS IP address.

Security Enhancements for IP Introduction

Description

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................


The aim of this feature is to distribute the security functions over the BSS subsystems as well as their interactions. The security strategy for the BSS takes into account the following aspects: •

•

•

The need for network element protection A first level of protection is to secure write accesses to telecom and O&M network elements. A second level of protection is to secure read access for sensitive data. A third level of protection would be to secure everything, meaning read accesses whatever the data flow. The need for network protection (data flow sensitivity) Network protection is not to protect the network, but to protect data flows going through the network against dishonest users with network access. The solution is to use secured VPN tunnels, via to the IPsec protocol. The BTS supports such IPsec tunnels. Other network elements rely on customer central site IPsec gateways. The NE location (central or remote sites are differentiated). As opposed to customer central sites, where only customer authorized people are present, remote sites are easily accessible to non authorized people. In the BSS, remote sites are, in most cases, BTS sites. Therefore, the BTS has the support of the IPsec and the 802.1x protocol for Ethernet port access control. The 802.1x protocol forbids unauthorized clients from using the Ethernet ports of a server machine.

This feature includes several solutions and technologies for enhancing the security for inter network elements communications, such as: •

IP Security (IPSec)

•

IP Security Gateway Authentication

•

Radius Server Authentication

Remote BTS NEM

Description

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................


The Network Element Manager for a BTS (BTS NEM) is a software package used for managing, maintaining and commissioning a BTS. For IP transport, there are two BTS connection types: •

Local connection

•

Remote connection

Local Connection

Local connection can be done via front panel NEM connector on the SUM board (which needs to open the NE door with a key). From this point, the PC-NEM is named “Local PC-NEM”. Remote Connection

This is possible from anywhere within the network, as far as the routing / firewall allows. A “remote connection” can also be on a switch port physically located near the BTS, which needs the port to be enabled and physical accessible. In the following figure,the wording “PC-NEM” is used for content relative to the local and the remote PC-NEM.

Description

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Note: A new parameter 'NEM-IP-Forwarding-inside-BTS (True/False)' , exists in the BSC Terminal in order to enable/disable routing to the NEM in each BTS.

Local and remote PC-NEM use IP to connect BTS. There are two ways to connect the PC-NEM: •

Serial connection to the BTS

•

Ethernet connection.

Serial connection to a BTS

Local IP connection using IP/PPP over RS232 for SUMA/P only. Ethernet connection

The Ethernet local or remote connection is realized either: •

Description

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................


With IP BSS, the frequency synchronization of the BTS (i.e. the automatic recalibration of the local oscillator frequency on a high accuracy transmission clock source) can be achieved through NTP: a stratum 1 NTP server delivers NTP messages to the BTS. The key value of the synchronization through NTP is that this method does not induce any requirement on the transmission backbone.


The feature is not NE dependent.


The feature is optional. For specific information about the feature functionality, refer to the Synchronize BTS with a NTP Server .

Layer 2 Network Access

Description

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................


Using a Layer 2 transport network means that, despite the BSS, network elements (BTS, BSC, TC, MFS) will still exchange IP packets. The underlying functional architecture of the transport network can be seen as a single LAN, in fact, an Ethernet LAN. Taking into account the potential distance between network elements, this is based on "Extended Area LAN" concepts such the MetroEthernet. The primary impact on the IP-based transport is that all IP addresses of the network elements belong to the same IP subnet, and no IP router (Layer 3) is needed between two network elements.


This feature is supported only in: •

9130 BSC Evolution: –

IPoE1 with new TP board TPIP module

–

IPoEth no new upgrade needed

•

OMC-R O&M Link Redundancy Using Solaris IPMP Overview Overview Note: This feature is available starting with B12.2.


The feature provides a mechanism for building redundant network interfaces to guard against NICs, cables, switches or other networking hardware failures. It also provides a method to do maintenance on system hardware without losing network connectivity in IP environments, based on Solaris IPMP. This feature is compatible with “Multiple LAN Interfaces” OMC-R feature. For each network interface, the built-in algorithm will try to find, if possible, an unused network interface on a different network board to pair it up with, and set both up in a multipathing IP group, link detection based. The following interfaces are excluded from IPMP setup: •

loopback interface (lo0)

•

inter hardware domain interfaces on Mxxx machines (sppp,clsn)

•

non configured network interfaces (IP=0.0.0.0)

•

interfaces used to communicate with 2540 StorageTeck disk array

•

Packet Downlink Power Control

Description

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................


The objective of Packet Downlink Power Control is to optimize the BTS output power while maintaining quality in the ongoing packet connections. The power reduction can be: •

•

Constant , defined by a P0 parameter. The average power level used by PS traffic in a cell can be decreased by the constant value P0, and therefore reduce the PS contribution to the interference. The value of P0 is configurable within a range of 0…30 db with a 2db step. The constant downlink power control reduction is applicable to GMSK and 8PSK modulations Dynamic. The BTS limits its output power on blocks addressed to a particular MS (USF or RLC blocks) to levels between (BCCH level - P0dB) and (BCCH level P0dB - 10dB) The dynamic downlink power control is applicable to GMSK and 8PSK modulations used in EGPRS. For a given PDCH shared by different TBFs, the power may change every RLC/MAC radio block (i.e. every 20 ms).


This feature is not NE dependent.

Script for Counting and Restoring OOS TRE and Sectors


....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Script for Counting and Restoring OOS TRE and Sectors Overview Note: This feature is available starting with B12.2.


The feature provides a new script which counts the number of TREs and sectors that are in out of service (OOS) state and attempts to restore them without manual intervention. The script works as follows: •

when it encounters a TRE in OOS state, it resets the corresponding board

•

when it encounters a sector (RA) in OOS state, it locks and unlocks the related board.

The script can be run at three levels: •

•

•

at OMC-R level - counts and attempts to restore all the OOS TREs and Sectors corresponding to all the BTSs of all the BSCs declared in OMC-R at BSC level - counts and attempts to restore all the OOS TREs and Sectors corresponding to all the BTSs of a particular BSC at BTS level - counts and attempts to restore all the OOS TREs and Sectors corresponding to a particular BTS.

Alarm Triggered by OMC-R for Time Deviation with NTP Server


....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Alarm Triggered by OMC-R for Time Deviation with NTP Server Overview Note: This feature is available starting with B12.2.


The OMC-R does a periodical check with NTP server and synchronization will be triggered in case of a high deviation. If the time deviation is greater than defined threshold, OMC-R generates an alarm instead of synchronizing to NTP server and the forwards it to NMC. Only the existing OMC-R synchronization is stopped and alarms are raised. The NTP server and deviation threshold is configured in OMC-R. The threshold can be configured under the file /etc/inet/ntp-plus.conf. Before the configuration, the OMC-R (Master/HMI/Agent where the NTP configuration is done) should be declared as ExNE in order to receive the alarms. After configuration ntp-plus service should be enabled. On Master, if the threshold is reached, only ntp will be disabled, ntp-plus will remain active; on Agents/HMIs, both will be disabled. The alarm will be cleared when both ntp and ntp-plus services are set enabled by the operator assuming that the required actions are taken care.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Customized Report on Graphical User Interface for TRX Resource Overview Note: This feature is available starting with B12.2.


The feature provides a new graphical user interface from where the operator can generate TRE inventory reports containing the number and types of TREs available at OMC, BSC or BTS level. TRE count. These reports can be exported as CSV files. Using this feature, the operator can also create general reports like: •

TRE count per BTS for all the BTSs in the OMC-R

•

TRE count per BSC for all the BSCs in the OMC-R.

On demand, the user can generate an EML export in order to have the latest data available as basis for the TRE inventory reports.




The feature is not optional, therefore there is no specific activation scenario.
