30、pply. 4 A-Interface capabilities The BSS-MSC interface shall be capable of supporting all the services offered to GSM users and subscribers. In addition it also allows for the allocation of suitable radio resources within the PLMN, and the operation and maintenance of those resources. 5 A-Interface

31、specification objectives The MSC to BSS interface specifications shall allow the following: i) Connection of various manufacturers BSSs to the same MSC; ii) The use of several manufacturers MSCs to the same type of BSS; iii) The use of the same BSS in any PLMN; iv) The use of the same MSC in any PLM

32、N; v) The separate evolution of MSC and BSS technology, and; vi) The separate evolution of O vii) Evolution towards lower speech coding rates; viii) Support of all services defined in the 3GPP TS 02.series. 6 A-Interface characteristics The interface is defined to be at the boundary of the MSC. The

33、MSC to BSS interface is specified by a set of characteristics, including: i) Physical and electromagnetic parameters; ii) Channel structures; iii) Network operating procedures; iv) Operation and Maintenance information support. The definition of the MSC to BSS interface follows a layered approach si

34、milar to that in the ISDN. Layer 3 is for the most part based on 3GPP TS 44.018 with additional procedures added for the control of radio resources and the identification of transactions using the SCCP. Layer 2 is based on the Signalling System No.7 (SS7) Message Transfer Part (MTP) , or in the case

35、 of IP-based signalling transport - M3UA and SCTP. In case of SS7 MTP, layer 1 is either digital (at 2 048 kbit/s, based on ITU-T Recommendation G.703 clause 6) or analogue with the data being passed by the use of modems (this latter case is a national option). ETSI ETSI TS 148 001 V13.0.0 (2016-01)

36、83GPP TS 48.001 version 13.0.0 Release 137 Other specifications on the MSC-BSS interface The full structure of the Technical Specifications specifying the MSC to BSS link are as follows. 7.1 3GPP TS 48.002 Interface Principles The present document deals with the functional split between the BSS and

37、the MSC. This functional split is then supported by the other Technical Specifications in the 3GPP TS 48.0xx series. 3GPP TS 48.002 also contains some information on the placement of transcoders/rate adapters, these being functionally part of the BSS though a degree of freedom is allowed in their ge

38、ographical location. In the case of A interface user plane over IP, transcoders in the BSS may not be needed. Lastly 3GPP TS 48.002 explains the use of transparent and non transparent signalling information across the interface. The key point is that the majority of call related signalling from the

39、MS is passed in a fairly transparent way through the BSS. 7.2 3GPP TS 48.004 Layer 1 - Specification The present document defines the physical layer at the BSS-MSC interface point. The physical interface chosen is either a 2 Mbits/s (32 x 64kbits/s) interface according to the standard ITU-T recommen

40、dations or an IP transport based interface according to the standard IETF RFCs. The speech coding called up in the present document is either according to ITU-T G.711 or according to Codecs listed in 3GPP TS 26.103. The coding of the traffic bit streams for data calls is dealt with in 3GPP TS 44.021

41、 and 3GPP TS 48.020. 7.3 3GPP TS 48.006 Signalling Transport Mechanism - Specification In order to pass the signalling information between BSS and MSC some reliable transport mechanism has to be used. The basis of the transport mechanism is an internationally agreed protocol known as signalling syst

42、em No.7. Several services are required from this protocol but two key requirements are that messages can be transferred between the BSS and MSC without corruption, and secondly that a transaction with a particular mobile can be identified. The correct transfer of messages without corruption is handl

43、ed by the “Message Transfer Part“, or in the case of IP-based signalling transport - M3UA and SCTP, of SS7 and this is documented in 3GPP TS 48.006 which is an exceptions document to the ITU-T, ANSI and IETF specifications. The subset so formed is designed so that it is compatible with a “full“ MTP

44、(M3UA/SCTP) such as might be provided at an MSC. For IP-based signalling transport, the involved nodes may take the role of a client or a server with respect to establishing the end-to-end communication. The particular role of the nodes is either determined by configuration or is depending on which

45、peer is acting first in establishing the communication, by that acting as the client. The identification of the transaction involved implies some form of logical connection. This is achieved by using the Signalling Connection Control Part (SCCP) of SS7. Again a minimum subset is formed in order to e

46、ase implementation. 7.4 3GPP TS 48.008 Layer 3 Specification In the present document the application parts are described. There are two currently identified in the BSS to MSC interface protocol, these are the: - BSSOMAP; - BSSAP. The BSSAP is further subdivided into two subprotocols, the BSSMAP and

47、the DTAP. ETSI ETSI TS 148 001 V13.0.0 (2016-01)93GPP TS 48.001 version 13.0.0 Release 13The BSSMAP and DTAP are fully defined, the BSSOMAP is only supported in terms of a signalling transport ability. The DTAP text is split between 3GPP TS 48.006 and 3GPP TS 48.008 but the text in 3GPP TS 48.008 de

48、fines which layer 3 air interface messages are passed transparently through the BSS and which are analysed at the BSS. The BSSMAP (base station system management application part) is that part of the protocol responsible for all aspects of the radio resource handling at the BSS. The text is structur

49、ed as a set of procedures which are defined separately and can be employed as felt appropriate by the operator/manufacturer to meet the requirements of the application in which it is being used. The procedures themselves can be driven in different modes depending upon the input parameters received from the MSC or sent from the OMC. The BSSOMAP (base station system operation and maintenance application part) supports all of the O and M communications for the BSS with either the
