1.2.1 Brief Introduction to BSS/AN
The BSS is a concept used in the CDMA2000 1x network. It consists of the Base
Transceiver Station (BTS ), Base Station Controller (BSC), and Packet Control Function
(PCF). The PCF is usually integrated with the BSC. The ODU3601C, a soft BTS, is also
a part of the Huawei BSS.
The AN is a concept used in the 1xEV-DO network. It consists of the 1xEV-DO BTS and
BSC (integrated with PCF).
I. BTS
The BTS transmits and receives radio signals to enable the communication between
the radio network system and the Mobile Station/Access Terminal (MS/AT). Huawei
provides a series of BTS products, including:
l
BTS3606A: Outdoor BTS equipment supporting the CDMA2000 1x and
CDMA2000 1xEV-DO standards. The maximum capacity of a single cabinet is six
sector carriers. With the multi-carrier technology, the BTS3606A can support a
maximum of 18 sector carriers.
l
BTS3606: Indoor BTS equipment supporting the CDMA2000 1x and CDMA2000
1xEV-DO standards. The maximum capacity of a single cabinet is six sector
carriers. With the multi-carrier technology, the BTS3606 can support a maximum
of 18 sector carriers.
l
cBTS3612: Indoor BTS equipment supporting both the CDMA2000 1x and
1xEV-DO standards. The maximum capacity of a single cabinet is 12 sector
carriers.
l
BTS3612A: Outdoor BTS equipment supporting both the CDMA2000 1x and
1xEV-DO standards. The maximum capacity of a single cabinet is six sector
carriers.
l
BTS3601C: Outdoor one-carrier BTS equipment supporting the CDMA2000 1x
standard.
l
ODU3601C: Outdoor one-carrier soft BTS equipment supporting the CDMA2000
1x standard. It shares the baseband processing resource of its upper-level BTS. It
also transmits and receives the radio signals together with the upper-level BTS.
II. BSC/PCF
The BSC performs the following functions:
l
BTS control and management
l
Call connection and disconnection
