Introduction
A new generation radio network controller, ZXUR 9000 uses all IP hardware structure,
modularized design and distributed idea, providing network control functionality under GSM,
UMTS or GU dual mode. It has extremely large processing capability, with high integration and
intelligent design, which effectively improve utilization rate of transmission and radio
resources, simplify the whole network maintenance, cut down CAPEX and make
maintenance more conveniently.
Control plane boards use 1+1 backup and load sharing mechanism.
User plane boards use load sharing mechanism
Interface boards can be configured as 1+1 backup or load sharing according to
requirements
Switch boards can be configured as load sharing

Hardware Architecture
The rack of ZXUR 9000 consists of 3 shelves, which is named as Enhanced Resource Shelf
(ERS). Each ERS has a backplane with 28 board slots (14 in front and 14 in rear).
With different combination of boards, the ERS has two logic types of shelves: master shelf and
slave shelf.
The difference between master shelf and slave shelf is that the master shelf has the master
clock distribution function and works as the switch center among shelves.
Other functions of master shelf and slave shelf are the same such as access, process
and peripheral monitoring units.

Interface Board
Switching Board:
Switching board deals with the switching in control plane (BASE) and media plane (FABRIC).
Besides the intra-shelf switching, it also provides switching channels for all inter-shelf
communication. There are two types of switching board.

Internal Use Only▲
EGBS is the switch board of control plane, and provides intra-shelf and inter-shelf
control plane switch channel.
EGBS in master shelf is in charge of the control plane channel between two slave
shelves and one master shelf.
EGFS is the switch board of user plane, and provides intra-shelf and inter-shelf user
plane switch channel.
EGFS in master shelf is in charge of the user plane channel between two slave shelves
and one master shelf.
EGFS in master shelf also works as a clock board, which is responsible for the clock
supply and external synchronization
Processing Board:
Processing board handles the protocol processing in control plane and user plane, and is
responsible for the overall processing and control in terms of O&M.
UMP realizes operation and maintenance function, and provides global management
processing
USP realizes service processing function, including the GSM/UMTS control plane and user
plane protocol stack processing.
Both CMP and DMP are responsible for control plane processing. CMP is used for common
signaling processing among cells while DMP is dedicated for user signaling processing irrelative
with cells.
Interface Board:
Provides access implementation A, Abis, Gb, Iu, Iub and Iur to meet various requirements of
networking
