3.1 GBFD-110008 GBSS17.0 System Improvement (Bacis/ Optional) 3.1.1 Feature Description Availability This feature is introduced in GBSS17.0.
Summary This feature describes system capability enhancements in GBSS17.0, including the enhancements in BSC6900 and BSC6910 reliability.
Benefits The function of preventing a large number of simultaneous location update messages from flooding the core network, the online FMA enhancement, and the CBC flow control are added to efficiently improve equipment reliability and ensure equipment operating security.
Description The GBSS17.0 System Improvement feature is described as follows: l
Prevents a large number of simultaneous location update messages from flooding the core network.
l
Improves the fault diagnosis capability of the online FMA to increase the fault diagnosis efficiency.

3.2 GBFD-170101 Abis Self-planning(New/Basic) 3.2.1 Feature Description Availability This feature is available from GBSS17.0.
Summary With Abis Self-planning, the control plane on the Abis interface supports self-configuration in end point mode when the BSC and GBTS(UMPT) are interconnected. The BSC, serving as the SCTP server, does not need the planning or configuration of the SCTP link. The GBTS(UMPT), serving as the SCTP client, initiates an SCTP link establishment request. After an SCTP link is established, it is associated with the upper-layer signaling. This simplifies the configurations of the Abis interface. Issue Draft A (2014-07-30)

3 Impacts of GBSS17.0 Features on GBSS16.0 Networks
Benefits l
This feature simplifies the control-plane data configuration of the BSC, and therefore reduces the network maintenance cost and total cost of operation (TCO).
l
In SingleRAN scenarios, this feature provides unified OM experience on the control plane.
Description With this feature, the control plane on the Abis interface uses self-configuration in end point mode on the BSC side when the Abis interface uses IP transmission. In this case, only the SCTP server data needs to be configured on the BSC, and SCTP link data and upper-layer signaling data associated with the SCTP link do not need to be configured on the BSC. During deployment, the GBTS(UMPT) obtains the IP address and port number of the SCTP server either from the U2000 or by manual configuration and then initiates an SCTP negotiation procedure. After an SCTP link is established, the GBTS(UMPT) sends its identity information to the SCTP server. The SCTP server parses this information and then maps the SCTP link onto the upper-layer signaling.
Enhancement None
3.2.2 System Capacity and Network Performance System Capacity No impact.
Network Performance This feature has the following impact on network performance: l
When an eGBTS accesses the network and tries to establish a signaling link for the first time, establishing a signaling link in end point mode takes about 5s to 10s more than that in link mode. However, time required for establishing a signaling link in end point mode is the same as that in link mode after an eGBTS is reset.
l
After a signaling link is automatically established, if the local SCTP IP address or port number is modified on the eGBTS, the system automatically establishes a new signaling link instead of modifying the established signaling link.
3.2.3 NEs This feature is implemented on the BSC and eGBTS.
3.2.4 Hardware No impact.
3.2.5 Inter-NE Interfaces This feature adds a new IE to the Huawei proprietary Abis message eGBTS CPBearer Set Info. The new IE is used by the eGBTS to report its identity to the BSC. Issue Draft A (2014-07-30)

reference clock for time synchronization via the BBU backplane from the LMPT or UMPT_L.
3.3.1.3 GBTS, NodeB and eNodeB Common Reference Clock This scenario is available from SRAN7.0.
Summary From SRAN7.0, Huawei multimode base stations provide common reference clock for GSM, UMTS, and LTE when the BBUs are interconnected.
Benefits This feature provides common reference clock for GSM, UMTS, and LTE when the BBUs are interconnected, thereby saving the CAPEX and OPEX.
Description This feature supports the following application scenarios: l
Common GPS reference clock Common GPS reference clock requires only one set of external equipment and one set of feeder and antenna for a GUL multimode base station, which reduces the installation costs and deployment costs.
l
Common BITS reference clock Common BITS reference clock requires only one set of external equipment a GUL multimode base station, which saves the costs.
l
Common E1/T1 reference clock from Abis/Iub interface When the Abis or Iub interface is based on TDM over E1/T1 and the S1 interface is based on IP over GE, the three modes can obtain the reference clock from the clock synchronized from the Abis or Iub E1/T1.
l
Common Ethernet reference clock from S1 interface When common Ethernet reference clock is used, GSM and UMTS can obtain the reference clock via the BBU backplane from the LTE main control board LMPT/UMPT.
l
Common IP network 1588V2 reference clock from S1 interface When GSM, UMTS and LTE BTS support 1588V2 reference clock, only one 1588V2 clock server and client are required. GSM and UMTS can obtain the clock via the BBU backplane from the LTE main control board LMPT/UMPT.
