1 Introduction
1.1 Positioning
This document is released with the eWBB2.0 Solution. The version of the product
corresponds to USN9810 V900R011C01.
eWBB2.0 USN9810 (USN9810 for short in this document) is a unified service node that is
deployed by Huawei and is applied to only evolved packet core (EPC) systems.
The USN9810 can provide the functionalities of the mobility management entity (MME) and
provide integrated user authentication management, which is part of System Architecture
Evolution-home subscriber server (SAE-HSS)'s functionalities. It is operated and maintained
as a single piece of equipment.
The EPC network is intended to provide high-speed packet data services. It has a less
complex network structure than current core networks, with the following differences:
The eNodeB can access the EPC network directly. RNC functions are integrated into the
eNodeB.
The functions of the network elements (NEs) in the PS domain are adjusted as follows:
− The SGSN signaling plane and forwarding plane are separated. The MME
implements the function of the SGSN signaling plane and the S-GW implements the
function of the SGSN forwarding plane.
− The P-GW functions as the GGSN.
− The optional co-design of S-GW and P-GW is supported.
The EPC network allows multiple RATs, including non-3GPP access technologies such
as CDMA2000 high rate packet data (HRPD). See Figure 1-2.
Figure 1-3 Network environment for the UGW9811 in Huawei EPC solution
1.1.3 NE Functions
The functions of the major NEs in the EPC solution are as follows.
E-UTRAN
The E-UTRAN implements all functions related to the radio access to the LTE/EPC network,
including:
Management and establishment of radio resources
Header compression and user plane ciphering
MME selection when no route to an MME can be determined from the information
provided by the UE
UL bearer level rate enforcement based on UE-aggregate maximum bit rate (AMBR) by
means of uplink scheduling and maximum bit rate (MBR)
DL bearer level rate enforcement based on UE-AMBR
MME
The MME is responsible for mobility management in the control plane, including
management of the user contexts and mobile status, and assignment of temporary identifiers.
The functions of the MME include:
Non-access stratum (NAS) signaling
NAS signaling security
UE reachability in ECM-IDLE state (including control and execution of paging
retransmission)
Tracking Area list management
P-GW and S-GW selection
MME selection for handovers with MME change
Authentication
Bearer management functions including dedicated bearer establishment
Lawful interception of signaling services
S-GW
The S-GW is the anchor point in the user plane between different access networks. It can
shield interfaces within the 3GPP network towards different access networks. The S-GW is
the gateway that terminates the interface towards E-UTRAN.
The functions of the S-GW include:
The local mobility anchor point for inter-eNodeB handover
Assist the eNodeB reordering function during inter-eNodeB handover by sending one or
more end marker packets to the source eNodeB immediately after switching the path
ECM-IDLE mode downlink packet buffering and initiation of network triggered service
request procedure
Lawful interception
Packet routing and forwarding
Transport level packet marking in the uplink and the downlink (DSCP)
Accounting on user and QCI granularity for inter-operator charging
P-GW
The P-GW is the anchor point in the user plane between the 3GPP access networks and
non-3GPP access networks. The P-GW is the gateway that terminates the SGi interface
towards the PDN.
The functions of the P-GW include:
Per-user based packet filtering (for example, deep packet inspection)
Lawful interception
UE IP address allocation
DNS
There are two types of domain name server (DNS) on the LTE/EPC network:
DNS located between the P-GW and the PDN
It is used to resolve the domain name of the PDN, equivalent to a common DNS on the
Internet.
DNS located on the LTE/EPC core network
When the UE requests to access an external network for packet services, the MME
requests the DNS to resolve the domain name according to the access point name (APN).
After the IP address of the corresponding P-GW is obtained, a transmission channel can
be set up between the UE and P-GW.
In mobility management procedures, such as attach and tracking area update (TAU), a
DNS is used for selecting the peer MME.
The DNS can also be deployed on other networks in addition to GPRS/UMTS networks.
High Integration
The USN9810 supports a maximum of 20,000 E-UTRAN subscribers attached at the same
time. In the case of full configuration, only one cabinet, one Advanced Telecommunications
Computing Architecture (ATCA) subrack, and one PGP-X8 subrack are required.
The USN9810 uses a high-speed forwarding processor to forward the data on the user plane,
which improves the processing efficiency and integration of the system.
synchronization system of the USN9810 uses the advanced digital phase-locked loop (DPLL)
and reliable software phase-locking technique, and has the following features:
Clocks of multiple stratums such as stratum 2 (class A and class B) and stratum 3 clocks
are available.
Stratum 2 and stratum 3 clocks can be flexibly selected for configuration through a
terminal.
The input primary source signals 2.048 MHz and 2.048 Mbit/s are available.
Powerful software functions are available. Operators can easily control the reference
source and phase-lock mode of the clock through the LMT. In addition, the LMT
provides complete display, alarm, and OM functions.
The USN9810 has powerful phase-locking capabilities, and therefore is applicable to various
clock transmission situations. When the reference source of the clock works improperly, the
clock synchronization system of the USN9810 can work in free-run mode and maintains clock
synchronization in a certain period.
High Reliability
The USN9810 is highly reliable because of the following features:
Backup of important data
The USN9810 automatically backs up important data, such as the configuration data,
performance data, and operation logs.
Operation security management
Different management privileges are assigned to different users. During the user login,
the USN9810 checks the user identity. After the user login, the USN9810 maintains the
complete operation to ensure system security.
Hardware redundancy design
All critical boards are configured in the 1+1 backup to ensure the high reliability of the
system.
Fault prevention
The USN9810 provides protection mechanisms to avoid the following system faults:
− System power off
− Misoperation on the system power switch
− Lightning surge on the system power
− High voltage and low voltage
− Short circuit of power supply
− Current surge and high voltage on the power supply and interfaces
System overload control
In the case of center processing unit (CPU) overload or resource congestion, the
USN9810 adjusts the traffic smoothly to avoid system down.
Board lock and unlock, process lock and unlock
The board and process lock function stops access to new services as required and
gradually removes the existing services within a certain period. The board and process
unlock function, however, provides access to new services.
2 Product Architecture
2.1 Overview
The system structure of the USN9810 includes hardware structure and software structure.
The N68E-22 cabinet is a 19-inch cabinet of the standard industrial structure. It conforms to
the following international standards:

Operating System
The operating system of the host software is Linux + Vxworks, which is a real-time operating
system.
Middleware
The middleware technology (DOPRA) is applied to the operating system and applications of
the USN9810. Therefore, the upper-layer service software is irrelevant to the lower-layer
operating system.
The middleware facilitates the migration of software functions between different platforms.
Therefore, new and stable product versions are released quickly as the service software is
rarely changed.
Applications
The application is the functional part of the USN9810 software. Loaded with different
applications, boards can provide different functions. The USN9810 applications can be
classified into the following types:
Signaling bearer software: Implements the access of broadband and narrowband
signaling and processing of the lower-layer protocols.
Service processing software: Performs signaling processing, session management,
mobility management, and resource management.
Database software: Manages device data and dynamic subscriber data.
System support software: Implements system management and device interconnection.
OM software: Receives the operation commands from the OMU and reports the
command results to the OMU.
The OMU server software runs on the Linux operating system and uses the Oracle as the
database platform. It provides functions of the terminal OAM software through multiple
parallel service processes, such as maintenance process, data management process, alarm
process, and performance statistical process. Figure 2-6 shows the relationship between the
OMU server software, operating system, and database platform.
Figure 2-6 Relationships between the OMU server software, operating system, and database
platform
LMT software
The LMT software runs on a workstation. Serving as a client, the LMT software is connected
to the OMU, serving as a server, in client/server mode. The LMT software provides
MML-based graphical terminals. A workstation can be located locally or remotely. For
example, a remote workstation can be connected to the OMU server through a wide area
network (WAN) in dial-up mode.
In addition, you can perform the following maintenance functions on a workstation: data
maintenance, device management, alarm management, performance statistics, call trace, and
signaling trace.
Web UI software
The Web UI software is namely the Web client. You can use the Web browser, such as IE
browser, to perform performance management and traffic statistics. In addition, the Web
browser can also be used during upgrade.
3 Configurations
The USN9810 has two typical configurations: single-subrack minimum configuration and 1+1
mode configuration.
Table 3-1 Board name and quantity for the single-subrack minimum configuration
Table 3-2 Board name and quantity for the 1+1 mode configuration
The USN9810 offers abundant services and functions, and meets the requirements of multiple
networks and operations.
Flexible OM methods
The OM system can be flexibly built according to the network structure and customer
requirements. Multiple maintenance interfaces are supported, including the interfaces to the
local maintenance terminal (LMT), the Huawei centralized network management system
iManager M2000. Through the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA)
interface provided by the iManager M2000, more network management requirements can be
fulfilled.
Configuration rollback
The configuration rollback in batches is supported. Only one rollback point can be set.

Minimum accuracy: maximum deviation value of nominal frequency in a long period (20 years)
without external frequency benchmark, that is, the clock is in free running state.
Maximum frequency deviation: a maximum value of the clock's relative frequency change in a UI
during a consecutive operation process.
Pull-in range: maximum frequency bandwidth of the input signal locked by a clock.
MRTIE: The MRTIE extracts the offset that appears in measurements performed with local reference
clocks.
Figure 5-1 Maximum permissible lower limit of input jitter and wander
When the jitter frequency of an input frequency is 1 kHz and the amplitude is more than 1.5
UI, you can infer that the input signal meets the requirements if the system operates normally.
UI refers to the unit of time interval. One UI equals the reciprocal of the frequency of the digital signal.
For example, the UI of the 2.048 Mbit/s signal is 488 ns.
