What is MSC Pool?
In a traditional mobile network, one RNC/BSC can be connected to one MSC only. In the
MSC Pool networking mode, one RNC/BSC can be connected to multiple MSCs.
Advantages:
Multiple MSCs share the load of a

network. This design helps to improve
the utilization of resources of the core
network and saves investment on
equipment.
Data can be backed up amongst the

MSCs to make the MSC pool more
disaster tolerant and improve the
reliability of the network.
Inter-MSC location update times and

signaling traffic on the C/D interface
are reduced.
Inter-MSC handovers are reduced and

subscribers' conversation quality is
improved.

MSC Pool Conceptions

NRI
A network resource identifier (NRI) is used to identify an MSC node serving a specified
MS/UE. Contained in TMSI from bit 23 to bit 14.
Serving MSC will not change when moving in pool area,save C/D interface traffic.
The implementation of the MSC Pool function depends on the TMSI reallocation function
enabled by the MSC in the MSC Pool, including:
Allocation of TMSI during location update
Allocation of TMSI during service access
SET MAPACCFG: IFALTMSILU=YES, IFALTMSISA=YES;
Null NRI
It is a special NRI in the same structure as normal NRI. During inter-MSC subscriber migration in
the MSC Pool, a null-NRI is used to instruct the RNC/BSC to reselect an MSC to service the
MS/UE. When RNC/BSC receives Null NRI,it will send message to a valid MSC based on
arithmetic.
A null-NRI is unique in an MSC Pool.

ADD NRIMSC: DESC="NULL NRI", NRIV=10, MSCNO=K'861390801, VLRNO=K'861390801,
MSCNM="SX1", NNRI=TRUE;

Non-broadcast LAI
It is a special LAI with the same format as common LAI.
ADD LAISAI: SAI="460004444", LAISAINAME="Non-broadcast", MSCN="861390801",

VLRN="861390801", NONBCLAI=YES, NONBCLAIT=HVLR;
During inter-MSC subscriber migration in the MSC Pool, it is used to trigger the MS/UE to perform
location update immediately after completing the current service procedure.
Each MSC in Pool has a unique Non-broadcast LAI;Each MSC in Pool must configure all Nonbroadcast LAIs of other MSCs in Pool because the target MSC determines the address of original
MSC based on the Non-broadcast LAI and obtains the subscriber
information(MAP_SEND_IDENTIFICATION) from the original MSC during inter-MSC subscriber
migration in the MSC Pool.
Example:
ADD LAIGCI: SAI="460005555", LAIGCINAME="Non-broadcast", MSCN="861390802",
VLRN="861390802", NONBCLAI=YES;
ADD LAIGCI: SAI="460006666", LAIGCINAME="Non-broadcast", MSCN="861390803",
VLRN="861390803", NONBCLAI=YES;

MGW to Provide the A-Flex Function
When MSC Pool is applied,BSC should support A-Flex function,if BSC can not support
this function,Huawei MGW can provide A-Flex Proxy function to enable BSC to access
MSC Pool without upgrade.
Default MSC
When MS registers in adjacent MSC outside pool,this MSC just needs to address Default
MSC in pool to get subscriber information by original LAI of the subscriber,because LAI
can not map a unique MSC in pool,by this way,MSC outside pool does not need to
develop new functions but just sends message to default MSC.
Default MSC then finds the previous serving MSC of this subscriber by NRI in
TMSI,obtains subscriber information and provides to MSC outside pool.
CNID
It is the ID of an MSC node. Its format is:
MCC+MNC+CN-ID
The value of CN-ID ranges from 0 to 4095. A CN-ID uniquely identifies an MSC in the
MSC Pool.

Load Balancing
1, When an MS/UE initiates a service based on IMSI/IMEI, the RNC/BSC selects a valid MSC
according to the capacity proportion of each valid MSC in the MSC Pool.Then MSC assigns
TMSI containing NRI.
When an MS/UE initiates a service based on TMSI,RNC/BSC will directly route it to the serving
MSC based on NRI in TMSI
MOD CNNODE
2,If paging is based on IMSI and without NRI information,RNC/BSC will record a temporary
mapping between IMSI and MSC,to ensure send back the acknowledge to MSC.
RNC/BSC A-flex function is mostly provided by MGW in current netowrk.

Handover
Handover Within the MSC Pool Area
As any LAI in the MSC Pool could be served by all MSCs in Pool, only intra-MSC
handover is performed in pool.
Therefore,compared with traditional networking, the number of inter-MSC handovers can
be reduced, and the quality of calls can be improved.
Handover to the MSC Pool Area
MSCs outside the Pool can use any MSC in the Pool as the target MSC during handover.
Handover out of the MSC Pool Area
The adjacent MSC is set to the destination MSC of MSCs in the MSC Pool during
handover (it is the same as the handover configuration for the MSC on the present
network).

Subscriber Migration Between MSCs

Operators can trigger subscriber migration between MSCs in the MSC Pool through O&M
commands.
For example, if one MSC needs to be upgraded,operators can transfer all the subscriber data in
this MSC to other MSCs in the MSC Pool before upgrade.
Or adjust the traffic load between MSCs to make they averagely share the load.
There are two ways to migrate subscribers. 3GPP TS 23.236 protocol&Inter-office E interface
redirection.
Huawei Confidential
Page 9
Subscriber Migration Between MSCs

1, Configure the status of MSC on MSCs and RNC/BSCs as OFF-LOAD.
2, When MS under off-load MSC initiates a service, the MSC allocates a TMSI containing nullNRI.The MSC also instructs the MS/UE that the current LAI is the Non-broadcast LAI.
3, After the MS finishes the current service, the Non-broadcast LAI enables the MS to trigger
immediate location update.
4, When receiving a location update message containing null-NRI, the RNC/BSC selects a
valid MSC according to the proportion capacity in the MSC Pool and routes the service to the
selected MSC.
The selected MSC allocates a TMSI containing its own NRI for the MS. During registration, the
selected MSC determines the original MSC where the MS/UE is registered according to the
Non-broadcast LAI carried by the MS/UE and obtains subscriber data (IMSI and unused
encryption parameters) from the original MSC.
In this way, an MS/UE is transferred from one MSC to another.
5,After migration is completed, stop migration through the O&M command and restore the MSC
status on the MSCs and RNC/BSCs as NORMAL.

A-Flex Function Proxy on MGW

The 3GPP TS 23.236 protocol requires the BSC in the MSC Pool supporting the A-flex function.
To solve the problem that BSC in exsiting network can not support this function, Huawei MGW
can provide the A-Flex function proxy
No BSC upgrade required
MSC server SPC and count is invisible for BSC,MGW provides single signal point to BSC
MGW provides the function to identify MSC in pool and realizes load balancing according to
proportion capacity configuration.
To achieve this purpose,two modes can be used: M3UA Agent Networking & M3UA Forward
Networking

M3UA Agent Networking
MSOFTX3000 SPC: XX,YY are used to integrate
with external NEs(HLR,SCP,PSTN etc);
MSOFTX3000 SPC: AA,a common SPC in pool for
integrating with BSC.
MGW SPC: MGW use the same SPC as
MSOFTX3000,AA.
MSC servers in the MSC Pool use a common SPC AA connecting with BSCs;
MGW adopts the M3UA agent mode and shares the same SPC AA with MSC servers;
MGW is divided into several VMGWs,the number is the same as that of MSCs in pool. Each
VMGW is registered in an MSC server.
The MSCe SPC configured on the BSC is AA.
The algorithm for the MGW to select the MSC server is the same as that for the BSC,based
on proportion capacity configured in MGW.

M3UA Forward Networking(Recommended)
MSOFTX3000 SPC: XX,YY are used to integrate

MSOFTX3000 SPC: BB,CC for integrating with
BSC.Using different SPC.
MGW SPC: MGW use the same SPC AA to

integrate with MSC.
MSC servers in the MSC Pool use different SPC BB,CC connecting with BSCs;
MGW adopts the M3UA Forward mode and shares the same SPC AA integrating with BSCs;
Use different SPC DD,EE integrating with MSC Servers;
MGW is divided into several VMGWs,the number is the same as that of MSCs in pool. Each
VMGW is registered in an MSC server.
