1 Introduction to VoIP

About This Chapter

This section describes the concepts and basic principles related to Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP).

1.1 Background
With the development of mobile communication and the increase of mobile subscriber numbers,
various mobile services are emerging. To meet the large capacity and low cost demand from
operators and follow the trend in the development of the carrier-class multimedia services, the
VoIP technology is introduced to the WCDMA CS domain. This technology enables the
transmission of voice services over the IP network in architecture of independent bearer and
control modules.
1.2 Basic Concepts of VoIP
The implementation of the VoIP technology depends on many features, such as SCTP multi-
homing, BICC CMN, TrFO, IP/TDM dual bearer, IP-based A interface, IP-based Iu interface,
and speech codec .
1.3 QoS Control Principle
The performance of the IP network is less satisfactory than that of the TDM network in the delay,
jitter and packet drop rate. These performance indexes are closely related to the voice quality.
When the delay, jitter or packet drop rate exceeds the normal level, the voice quality is affected
or even the call is disconnected. Therefore, the QoS (Quality of Service) control is very important
to the VoIP.
1.4 The Networking of the VoIP Bearer Network
The VoIP network introduces the IP bearer network to the traditional mobile network. The voice
data can be transmitted over the IP network to save the cost. A typical IP bearer network can
adopt the networking mode using routers to transmit voice data. The router networking mode
consists of the local router networking mode and remote router networking mode.
1.5 Interface Protocol Stack
In the VoIP network, the following network interfaces are involved in IP applications: Nc
interface, Mc interface, Nb interface, A interface, and Lu interface.

1.1 Background
With the development of mobile communication and the increase of mobile subscriber numbers,
various mobile services are emerging. To meet the large capacity and low cost demand from
operators and follow the trend in the development of the carrier-class multimedia services, the
VoIP technology is introduced to the WCDMA CS domain. This technology enables the
transmission of voice services over the IP network in architecture of independent bearer and
control modules.
Compared with the TDM technology used for bearing voice services, the VoIP technology has
the following advantages:
l The VoIP technology can save network bandwidth by using Voice Activity Detection
(VAD), compressed speech codec, and IP statistical-multiplexing technology. The VoIP
networking architecture is favorable for the flatten networking.
l The VoIP technology can serve both realtime services and non-realtime services.
l The cost of the IP network is higher than that of the TDM network during initial stage for
constructing the VoIP network. When the network scale is enlarged, the advantages of the
IP network are more obvious. With the application of advanced technologies, such as, VAD
and Transcoder Free Operation (TrFO), the network cost can be reduced greatly.

1.2 Basic Concepts of VoIP


The implementation of the VoIP technology depends on many features, such as SCTP multi-
homing, BICC CMN, TrFO, IP/TDM dual bearer, IP-based A interface, IP-based Iu interface,
and speech codec .

1.2.1 SCTP Multi-Homing


The SCTP multi-homing management can associate multiple IP transmission paths by setting
up SCTP associations between multiple reachable IP addresses on the local and peer ends. In
this way, the system can provide reliable network-class transmission services.
1.2.2 BICC CMN
If a node supports the BICC signaling and it provides related bearer control functions, this node
is called a service node. If the node cannot provide bearer control functions, this node is called
a call mediation node (CMN). In the actual networking, a site can serve as a service node and a
CMN at the same time.
1.2.3 TrFO
The audio codec can cause lossy compression during voice encoding and decoding. The voice
quality is reduced and transmission delay is extended during speech encoding and decoding.
TrFO can be used to process voice without using the TC during voice transmission. This function
can provide a peer to peer voice transmission of high fidelity and low transmission delay.
1.2.4 IP/TDM Dual Bearers
The all-IP network evolving process refers to the process that the TDM network evolves to the
IP network. The IP network and TDM network coexist in this process. The inter-MSC and intra-
MSC TDM/IP dual bearers help to implement smooth evolution from a TDM network to an IP
network.
1.2.5 IP-based A Interface
The IP-based A interface is essential to all IP network construction.

1 Introduction to VoIP VoIP User Manual

1.2.6 IP-based Iu Interface


The IP-based Iu interface refers to that the Iu interface adopts IP transmission. After IP-based
Iu interface is set up, the signaling and bearer plane between the CN and RNC can transmit data
through the IP bearer.
1.2.7 Speech Codec
Because the different protocols and bearer methods are used between different networks, the
MGW needs to convert the format of the services streams with speech codec. In the VoIP
network, the UMG8900 supports the Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) and G.711 at present.

1.2.1 SCTP Multi-Homing


The SCTP multi-homing management can associate multiple IP transmission paths by setting
up SCTP associations between multiple reachable IP addresses on the local and peer ends. In
this way, the system can provide reliable network-class transmission services.

The SCTP multi-homing management supports two or four SCTP links in one SCTP association
at present. To ensure the interface stability, the configuration of two SCTP links in one SCTP
association is preferred. The following section describes the configuration of two SCTP links.

After the SCTP association is established, you must define a preferred path for each SCTP end
point. This path is used for transmitting SCTP packets in normal cases. At the receiving end, the
multi-homing path management function verifies whether the SCTP association for the incoming
SCTP packets is configured before processing the SCTP packet. The paths that are related to
the SCTP association when the dual planes of the SCTP multi-homing are enabled are shown
in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1 The paths related to the SCTP association


Active path
IP1 IP3
Local Peer
end Standby path end
IP2 IP4

The preferred path uses the first IP address in the IP address list of both the local and peer end.
The preferred path of the SCTP association at the client uses the first IP address in the destination
IP address list as the destination IP address and the first IP address in the local IP address list as
the local IP address. After the server receives the primitive through the SCTP association, you
must set the source and destination IP addresses of the preferred path of the SCTP association.

The transmission path is selected based on the priority of the available paths. The path with the
highest priority is selected as the preferred path. The rest paths are selected in an ascending order
based on the serial numbers of the local addresses. Table 1-1 shows the active and standby
transmission paths and priority configuration.

Table 1-1 The active and standby transmission paths and priority configuration

Path Active and Standby Path Priority

[IP1,IP3] Active High

[IP2,IP4] Standby Low

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Mobile SoftSwitch Center
VoIP User Manual 1 Introduction to VoIP

Note the following for transmission paths:


l When the current transmission path is unavailable, the path with the highest priority is
selected from available paths. If no available path is found and the current transmission
path remains unchanged, the transmission link is disconnected.
l When a transmission path with higher priority than the current path is available, the
transmission path with higher priority is adopted.

1.2.2 BICC CMN


If a node supports the BICC signaling and it provides related bearer control functions, this node
is called a service node. If the node cannot provide bearer control functions, this node is called
a call mediation node (CMN). In the actual networking, a site can serve as a service node and a
CMN at the same time.
The BICC CMN supports the following functions:
l The CMN function is controlled by the license.
The license can be used to specify whether the MSOFTX3000 supports the CMN function.
If the incoming and outgoing office directions for a call are BICC office directions, and the
license for supporting the BICC CMN function is enabled, the system can check whether
the call is a BICC CMN call. If the license is disabled, the call cannot be a BICC CMN
call.
l The number of the BICC CMN calls is controlled by the license.
The license can be used to control the maximum number of BICC CMN calls that is
supported by the MSOFTX3000. If the number of BICC CMN calls in the system reaches
the maximum number specified by the license, the subsequent BICC CMN calls are
disconnected.
l The CMN function can be configured in the sub-route table.
When the incoming and outgoing office directions for a call are BICC office directions,
and the license for supporting the BICC CMN function is enabled, the system can judge
whether a call is a BICC CMN call based on the preferred CMN configuration in the sub-
route table.
l The BICC CMN call release function defined in ITU-T1902.4 is supported.
According to ITU-T1902.4, the system must transparently transmit the received REL and
RLC messages during a BICC CMN call. When receiving the REL message, the system
cannot release the call in call segments immediately. The system can release the call
resources only after it receives the inter-office RLC message.
l The COT message processing function defined in ITU-T1902.4 is supported.
According to ITU-T1902.4, the system must transparently transmit the call continuity check
indicator in the received IAM messages during a BICC CMN call. The system cannot
activate the T8 timer. When receiving a COT message, the CMN must send the COT
message to the backward office.
l The reset message processing function defined in ITU-T1902.4 is supported.
The system must transparently transmit the received RSC and RLC messages during a
BICC CMN call. When the system receives the RSC message indicating the BICC CIC
reset, the system must send the RSC message to the peer office. When the BICC CMN
receives the RLC message from the peer office, the BICC CMN sends the RLC message
as the response of the RSC message.
l The processing of APP with the length over 255 bytes is supported.

During a BICC CMN call, the system supports the call that is configured with Application
Transport Parameter (APP) of the length over 255 bytes.
l The performance measurement features related to the BICC CMN are supported.
To enable performance measurement for BICC CMN calls, the BICC CMN performance
measurement unit is added to the system. In addition, the indexes related to BICC CMN
calls are added to the performance measurement units for incoming/outgoing trunk office
direction, trunk office direction and CPU utilization.
l The rerouting function upon failure is supported.
During a BICC CMN call, the previously selected sub-routes are excluded when the system
reselects the routes based on the cause value of routing failure.
l The calling number normalization function is controlled by the related software parameters.
During a BICC CMN call, the system determines whether to normalize the calling number
in the international number format (8613**) into a calling number in the national number
format (13**).
NOTE
The BICC trunk groups must be the CMN trunk groups when the MSOFTX3000 supports the CMN
function, or the CMN function will be failed.

1.2.3 TrFO
The audio codec can cause lossy compression during voice encoding and decoding. The voice
quality is reduced and transmission delay is extended during speech encoding and decoding.
TrFO can be used to process voice without using the TC during voice transmission. This function
can provide a peer to peer voice transmission of high fidelity and low transmission delay.
On the legacy radio network (access network) side, AMR-coded signals are transmitted at the
highest rate of 12.2 kbit/s; on the legacy core network side, signals are transmitted at the rate of
64 kbit/s. To ensure successful signal processing, transmission rate must be adapted through a
transcoder. During coding/decoding, the transcoding operations of the voice code decrease the
voice quality, and the transmission delay is increased. In the UMTS network, the transcoding
operations performed through a transcoder are not required. Therefore, the voice quality is
improved because both the UE and the network support the end-to-end calls. The Out-of-Band
Transcoder Control (OoBTC) function is applicable to both the calls between the mobile
networks and the calls between the mobile network and the other networks. The system maintains
the consistency between the codec of the caller and the codec of the callee by using the OoBTC
function, which is called the TrFO feature.
When a call is set up, TrFO negotiates the coding and decoding rules on both sides and adopts
the coding and encoding type and mode that are supported on both sides. In this way, the TC's
processing is not required any more during voice transmission. Figure 1-2 shows the principles
of the TrFO function.

1. The caller sends the speech codec algorithms supported to the called MSC.
2. The callee sends the speech codec algorithms supported to the called MSC.
3. The called MSC compares the speech codec algorithms provided by both sides and selects
the codec type and mode that are supported on both sides. Then the called MSC sends the
information as the final negotiation result to the calling MSC.
4. The caller and callee start voice transmission based on the codec type and mode that is
provided through negotiation.

1.2.4 IP/TDM Dual Bearers


The all-IP network evolving process refers to the process that the TDM network evolves to the
IP network. The IP network and TDM network coexist in this process. The inter-MSC and intra-
MSC TDM/IP dual bearers help to implement smooth evolution from a TDM network to an IP
network.

Inter-MSC IP/TDM Dual Bearers


The inter-MSC IP/TDM dual bearers refers to that the system supports both the IP bearer network
and TDM bearer network in one office direction. That requires the system to support broadband
BICC trunk and narrowband ISUP trunk in the same office direction.

The inter-MSC IP/TDM dual bearers have the following policies on selecting the bearer type:

l The system selects the bearer type based on the call priority. The system selects the TDM
trunk group in preference to provide good conversation quality for the subscribers with
high priority.
l The system selects the bearer network based on the type of incoming bearer network. If the
bearer type of the outgoing trunk group is consistent with the bearer type of the incoming
trunk group carried by the route selection message, the transmission efficiency is higher.
l The system selects the outgoing bearer type based on the intra-office bearer type. If the
bearer type of the outgoing trunk group is consistent with the intra-MSC bearer type
(required for gateway path selection), the transmission efficiency is higher.
l The system selects the outgoing bearer type based on the IP priority percentage and TDM
priority percentage. The sum of the IP priority percentage and TDM priority percentage
must be 100%.

1 Introduction to VoIP VoIP User Manual

Intra-MSC IP/TDM Dual Bearers


The intra-MSC IP/TDM dual bearers refers to that the system supports both the IP bearer network
and TDM bearer between different MGWs under the same MSC server.
In the case of intra-office hybrid networking, a bearer type can be selected between TDM and
IP based on the configured percentages or preference policy when the system processes a service.
The intra-MSC IP/TDM dual bearers have the following route selection policies:
l In the case of preference-based bearer selection, the preferred bearer type is chosen in
preference for the service.
l In the case of percentage-based bearer selection, a bearer is chosen based on the configured
percentages of the two bearer types and the comparison between the actual selection times
of the two bearer types.
The preference-based bearer selection policy is higher in priority than the percentage-based
selection mode. Namely, if both the preference-based bearer selection policy and the percentage-
based bearer selection exist, the preference-based bearer selection policy is used.
To improve dual backup between the two bearer types and reduce call loss in inter-MGW bearer
selection, the other bearer type will be selected automatically for call connection, if it is found
that a TDM bearer cannot be selected according to, for example, the TDM circuit status, or if
an IP bearer cannot be selected according to, for example, the IP QoS flow control indication.

1.2.5 IP-based A Interface


The IP-based A interface is essential to all IP network construction.
The IP-based A interface refers to the IP-based user plane. The IP-based protocol of the signaling
plane is supported. The general scheme is as follows:
l The BSC does not provide the TC function. The Transcoder & Rate Adaptation Unit
(TRAU) frames are terminated directly. The TC is moved to the MGW.
l The A interface does not support the protocol stack of the user plane (UP).
l The 2G GSM single rate codec of the Nb interface uses the UP transparent mode.

Figure 1-3 shows the protocol stack used when the data on the A interface is transmitted through
the IP bearer network.

l The peer to peer TrFO can be provided. No TC is configured on the call link.
l Transmission resources are saved: The IP network uses statistical multiplexing. During
accessing, the bandwidth allocation has no granularity size limitation as the TDM and can
be used based on your requirements. When the compressed codec is transmitted, the IP
based A interface function can efficiently reduce the occupancy of the bandwidth.
l Maintenance cost is reduced: After the core network is operating over IP bearer network,
the IP based A interface and IP based BSS enable the types of networks to be maintained
to normalize to one type. This can decrease the technical requirements of maintenance
personnel and reduce the operation expenditure (OPEX).

1.2.6 IP-based Iu Interface


The IP-based Iu interface refers to that the Iu interface adopts IP transmission. After IP-based
Iu interface is set up, the signaling and bearer plane between the CN and RNC can transmit data
through the IP bearer.

For the IP-based Iu interface to be successfully implemented, the RNC and MGW must support
the features of the IP-based Iu interface. This feature does not support the scenario of the mixed
networking of Mini-flex ATM and IP networking.

When the IP-based Iu interface is set up, the MSC server, RNC and MGW provide the following
functions:

l The MSC server exchanges the IP addresses of the RNC and MGW between the RNC and
the MGW. The MSC server also sets up links with the signaling plane of the RNC.
l The RNC sets up links with the signaling plane of the MSC server. The RNC also allocates
radio resources and sets up the bearer plane with the MGW.
l The MGW needs to obtain the IP address of the RNC and UDP port number during the UP
initiation. The MGW can send the IP packets from the RNC successfully.

Figure 1-4 shows the protocol stack when the data on the Iu interface is transmitted through the
IP bearer network.

When the IP-based Iu interface is set up, the networking between the MSC server and RNC and
that between the MSC server and MGW is changed. The networking is as follows:

l The RANAP supports IP transmission. The RNC and MSC server are connected directly.
l The RANAP supports IP transmission. The MGW and MSC server are connected directly.

l The RANAP supports the mixed networking using ATM and IP bearer network.

1.2.7 Speech Codec


Because the different protocols and bearer methods are used between different networks, the
MGW needs to convert the format of the services streams with speech codec. In the VoIP
network, the UMG8900 supports the Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) and G.711 at present.

AMR
The AMR supports voice transmission of different rates. There are eight compression methods.
The corresponding rates are as follow.

Speech Codec Source Codec Bit Rate

AMR_12.20 12.20 kbit/s (GSM EFR)

AMR_10.20 10.20 kbit/s

AMR_7.95 7.95 kbit/s

AMR_7.40 7.40 kbit/s (IS-641)

AMR_6.70 6.70 kbit/s (PDC-EFR)

AMR_5.90 5.90 kbit/s

AMR_5.15 5.15 kbit/s

AMR_4.75 4.75 kbit/s

Besides the eight transmission rates, the AMR provides functions including SCR, VAD, CNG,
and lost frame compensation. In this way, the AMR can ensure the speech quality with various
methods.

G.711
The voice signal is transmitted as the analog signal in the digital communication system. This
process is composed of three steps: sampling, quantizing and coding. The signal obtained
through sampling is dispersed in the time line. The amplitude of the signal is continuous. To
convert the signal into the digital signal, the sampling values must be converted into the dispersed
values. The amplitude with infinite continuous signal can be converted into finite dispersed
signal. This is the cause of quantizing. The methods for quantizing can be classified into linear
quantizing and non-linear quantizing.

The G.711 standard provides a non-linear quantizing method, that is, to use unequal quantizing
difference (interval). For the signal with small amplitude difference in dense classification, use
small difference for quantizing. For the signal with great amplitude difference in scattered
classification, use great difference for quantizing. The interval of quantizing is decreased when
the signal amplitude decreases. The signal-to-noise ratio of the signal amplitude within wide
dynamical range can meet the requirements.

1.3 QoS Control Principle


The performance of the IP network is less satisfactory than that of the TDM network in the delay,
jitter and packet drop rate. These performance indexes are closely related to the voice quality.
When the delay, jitter or packet drop rate exceeds the normal level, the voice quality is affected
or even the call is disconnected. Therefore, the QoS (Quality of Service) control is very important
to the VoIP.

The QoS covers the unidirectional transmission delay, packet drop rate and jitter.

The major problem that causes the decrease of QoS can be:

l The IP bearer network is faulty. (Faulty equipment, ports, transmission connections, or


logical links are found.)
l The load of the IP bearer network is unbalanced.

The system needs to perform QoS control concerning equipment, services, subscribers, and
reducing jitter.

Equipment-Based QoS Assurance Technology - CAC

The Connection Admission Control (CAC) can restrict the subscriber access based on the total
number of registrations, total number of calls and call rate. When the total number of the
registrations, total number of calls or call rate reaches the threshold, the system restricts
subscriber access to the network. The system discards packets and prohibits the subscriber from
originating an access request. For the subscriber who has already originated the access request,
its service is not affected. When the total number of registered subscribers, total number of calls,
subscriber registration rate, or call rate returns to the normal level, the system allows the
subscribers to connect the network.

The CAC technology can be used to control the network load, reduce network damage, and
ensure QoS in the mobile network. Figure 1-5 shows the CAC principle.

1. The MSC server maps the allowed transmission bandwidth to the BICC CIC based on
bandwidth planning. Then the MSC server starts to control the amount of transmitted data.
2. The MSC server sends the quality detection event to the MGW. When the MGW detects
that the data traffic exceeds the threshold, the new data transmission request is rejected.
When the data traffic returns to normal, the system permits data transmission requests.
3. The MGW reports the quality detection event to the MSC server.
4. The MSC server selects the routes and conducts flow control based on the quality detection
result reported by the MGW.

Priority-Based QoS Assurance Technology


This technology is used to sort data based on subscribers and service types and set different
priorities for them. The transmission quality for the service with the high priority is assured. The
service quality of the subscribers with the high priority and important data is assured.
The priority-based QoS assurance technology uses the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).
The MPLS technology integrates the IP switching and ATM switching principles. It can be used
to sort the groups with the same forwarding method into one group. The system can sort data
based on source address, destination address, source port, destination port, protocol type, and
VPN. The groups are identified with the fixed labels. The label forwarding table is created on
the label forwarding router. When the router at the entrance of the MPLS network receives a
packet, the router determines the forwarding method and adds a label to this packet. In this way,
a packet with the MPLS label is created. The label forwarding router matches the label contained
in the packet with that in the label forwarding table. Then, the router exchanges the labels and
forwards the packets. Figure 1-6 shows the principle.

Figure 1-6 MPLS principle

MGW BR BR MGW

IP Package MPLS Label IP Package

Jitter Reduction - Based QoS Assurance - Jitter Buffer Technology


In the IP network, the system selects the transmission path for the IP packets based on the network
status. Therefore, the IP packets cannot be sent to the receiving end based on the sending
sequence. The neighboring IP packets cannot be received at the same interval, thus resulting in
delay and jitter, and further affecting the voice quality. In Jitter Buffer mode, a jitter buffer is
added at the receiving end. When the packet arrives at the jitter buffer, the system does not
forward the packet to the receiving end. After a certain interval, the packets in the jitter buffer
are sent to the receiving end based on the sequence in which the packets are constructed before
sending. In this way, the jitter is reduced and the original sequence of the packets is maintained.
Figure 1-7 shows the principle.

1.4 The Networking of the VoIP Bearer Network


The VoIP network introduces the IP bearer network to the traditional mobile network. The voice
data can be transmitted over the IP network to save the cost. A typical IP bearer network can
adopt the networking mode using routers to transmit voice data. The router networking mode
consists of the local router networking mode and remote router networking mode.

Local Router Networking Mode


In this networking mode, all the core network components are configured with routers locally.
The core network components are connected to the proximate routers directly through FE/GE
(Fast Ethernet / Gigabit Ethernet). The core network components are then interconnected through
the IP bearer network composed of the routers. Figure 1-8 shows the networking.

The advantages and disadvantages of the local router networking mode are as follows:
l Advantages
The network can be expanded easily to provide multiple services.
The network can be evolved to the future IMS network seamlessly.
The IP bearer network has powerful access capability and provides a number of IP
interfaces. The core network components can connect the proximate IP bearer network
easily.
This mode is powerful for large scale network.
l Disadvantages
The Capital Expenditure (CAPEX)/OPEX is high.
The QoS, reliability and security technologies for this network are complex.
The local router networking mode can be adopted in the following conditions:
l The network has large capacity.
l Many network elements are configured. (More than 10 MSC servers and 50 MGWs are
configured.)
l Multiple services are provided.
l The all IP network construction is required.

Remote Router Networking Mode


In this networking mode, the E1s/Passive Optical Splitters (POS) of core network components
are connected to the SDH transmission network directly. The core network components are

connected to the remote routers through the SDH transmission network. The FE/GE interfaces
of core network components are connected to the SDH transmission network through Multi-
Service Transmission Platform (MSTP), and then connected to the remote routers. The core
network components are interconnected through the remote routers. Figure 1-9 shows the
networking.

When the E1/POS access method is used, the core network components and routers must
provide E1/POS interfaces. The core network components and routers are connected
through the SDH transmission network directly. Figure 1-10 shows the E1/POS access
method.

When the E1 access method is used, the core network components must support the IP
over E1 feature. The router provides a few E1 ports, so the access capability is limited.
When the POS access method is used, the network is costly because the POS interface
is expensive.
l GE/FE access method
When the GE/FE access method is used, the MSTP equipment is provided in the SDH
transmission network. The GE/FE interfaces of core network components are connected to
the SDH transmission network through the MSTP equipment. The routers are also
connected to the SDH transmission network through the MSTP equipment. In this access
method, the interfaces of routers and core network components are less expensive and the
TDM resources of the SDH transmission network can be used efficiently. Figure 1-11
shows the GE/FE access method.

The CAPEX/OPEX is low.


The QoS, reliability and security technologies for this network are simple.
l Disadvantages
The NE must be connected to the SDH transmission network through the Ethernet. The
MSTP equipment or the router is required to provide the POS/E1 interface.
The central router provides limited interfaces, so it cannot support a large scale network.

The remote router networking mode can be adopted in the following conditions:

l The network capacity is small.


l The central router can provide sufficient IP interfaces for the networking.

1.5 Interface Protocol Stack

1.6 Network Security


After the IP bearer network is introduced, you must pay attention to the security issue of the
mobile network.

To ensure the security of the mobile services, the mobile signaling, traffic and gateway must use
the private IP network. The private IP network must be isolated by the firewall.

The firewall can be used for network isolation. Either the independent firewall or the built-in
firewall of the MGW can be used. The built-in firewall can filter the packets based on the source
IP address, destination IP address, source UDP port number, destination UDP port number, and
protocol type. Note that when the built-in firewall of the MGW is started, the performance of
the MGW is decreased by 30%.

About This Chapter

This section describes the requirement for the QoS of the bearer network in the VoIP networking
mode, planning principle and traffic planning over each interface for VoIP networking evolution.

2.1 System Requirement


The data is transmitted over the IP bearer network. The quality of the IP bearer network is closely
related to the quality of the mobile service. To ensure the normal service operation, the quality
of the IP bearer network must meet the specified requirement.
2.2 Planning Principle
This section describes some principles to ensure the safe and reliable network operation during
VoIP network planning.
2.3 Traffic Planning over Each Interface for VoIP Networking Evolution
During VoIP networking evolution, both the traffic over each interface and number of wideband
signaling links based on the IP bearer mode must be planned. At the same time, when the original
TDM signaling links remain unchanged after network evolution, the number of links for capacity
expansion based on the TDM bearer mode must also be planned.

2.1 System Requirement


The data is transmitted over the IP bearer network. The quality of the IP bearer network is closely
related to the quality of the mobile service. To ensure the normal service operation, the quality
of the IP bearer network must meet the specified requirement.
The QoS of the voice services concerns the delay, jitter and packet loss ratio. The QoS of the IP
bearer network of the voice services is defined as follows:

DATA Unidirectional Packet Loss Ratio Jitter (ms)


Delay (ms)

Media <50 (Recommended) 1% (Consider VP 1


<400 (maximum) services)

Signalling 100 0.1% (Consider 10


high traffic)

Requirement to IP bearer network of speech service


To ensure the QoS of the entire network, the QoS of the partial networks must be under control.
In this way, the normal service operation is assured. According to the QoS indexes of the voice
services, the QoS indexes of the IP bearer network must satisfy the following requirements:

Network Class Unidirectional Packet Loss Ratio Jitter


Delay

Good 5 0.01% 1

Normal 50 0.1% 10

Bad 200 5% 40

For example, the network quality is as follows:


l The delay is less than 80 ms at the access network side.
l The overheading of the caller and callee is 150 ms at the access network side.
l The overheading of the caller and callee MGWs is 50 ms. (The duration for packing is 20
ms.)
According to the permitted unidirectional delay of the voice services defined in the 3GPP, the
average value 250 ms (the average of 50 ms and 400 ms) is used. The delay of the IP bearer
network must be less than 50 ms (250-150-50=50).
The core network components apply the Jitter Buffer technology, so the jitter can be reduced by
20 ms. If the jitter of the IP bearer network is less than 20 ms, the jitter of the voice services can
be reduced to 1 ms by using the Jitter Buffer technology in the core network components.

2.2 Planning Principle


This section describes some principles to ensure the safe and reliable network operation during
VoIP network planning.

During network planning, the traffic model of the VoIP and the calculation method for interface
traffic are the same as those of the TDM networking planning. Comparing with the TDM
network, the VoIP network has the following differences in planning:

l For the VoIP network, the IP addresses of the ports for transmitting signaling of NEs,
service data and maintenance data must be planned globally. You must reserve IP addresses
based on the full configuration of the softswitching equipment and service usage.
l In the VoIP network, the MGW uses the IP-based AMR. The protocol stack is different
from that used in the TDM networking.
l The sufficient bandwidth must be reserved. You must reserve 20% of outgoing bandwidth
for the core network, and 100% of bandwidth for the IP bearer network.
l The bandwidth between nodes is configured according to the shortest path.

2.2.1 Networking Planning


This section describes the private network for bearing circuit switched domain data, service
network and maintenance network isolation, and dual plane networking in the VoIP networking
mode. You need to follow these principles to ensure the network security and reliability.
2.2.2 Bandwidth Planning
You must consider the actual service forwarding ability and service transmission ability of the
digital communication component during the bandwidth planning. In this way, you can enable
the network to provide sufficient bandwidth for normal service operation.

2.2.1 Networking Planning


This section describes the private network for bearing circuit switched domain data, service
network and maintenance network isolation, and dual plane networking in the VoIP networking
mode. You need to follow these principles to ensure the network security and reliability.

Private Network for Bearing Circuit Switched Domain Data


The private network for bearing Circuit Switched domain data can use the logical isolation
method and a private IP bearer network.
l Using logical isolation
When the logical isolation method is used, you can use the current IP network as the bearer
network without creating a private IP network. The bearer network can work with the bearer
network of the Internet. The CS services can be isolated through logical isolation methods
such as Virtual Private Network (VPN).
This method features low cost but poor network isolation effect.
l Creating a private IP bearer network
When using this method, you need to create a new IP backbone bearer network for mobile
services. This bearer network is isolated from the IP network bearing Internet services
physically.
The network isolation effect of this method is good and network security can be assured
easily.

Service Network and Maintenance Network Isolation


The service network is the IP network bearing media streams and signaling streams. The
maintenance network is the IP network bearing network management and charging information.
The two networks must be isolated physically, especially at the IP access layer.
One independent IP bearer network bears the service data and the other independent IP bearer
network (such as the internal private DDN) bears the maintenance data. If the private DDN is
not provided, you can create an independent VPN for central network management in the IP
backbone network. In this way, the network management data and service data can be isolated
logically. The network management data of different locations is exchanged through this VPN.

Using Dual Plane Networking


This networking method can avoid single node failure in the IP network and improve the network
reliability. The IP interfaces of all core network components and digital communication
components must use the dual uplink networking. The core network component is connected to
two digital communication components. The uplink of each digital communication component
is connected to another two digital communication components. Figure 2-1 shows the
networking.

The active/standby configuration mode or load sharing mode can be used between the two planes.
To ensure the QoS (no call drop is found; the connected calls are not affected; a new call can be
set up normally.) after switchover (as the switchover arose by BFD) due to failure, the bandwidth
of each plane must be sufficient to bear the traffic of the entire network. Therefore, the bandwidth
of the entire network must double the actual bandwidth.

2.2.2 Bandwidth Planning


You must consider the actual service forwarding ability and service transmission ability of the
digital communication component during the bandwidth planning. In this way, you can enable
the network to provide sufficient bandwidth for normal service operation.

Planning Based on Actual Bandwidth


The actual bandwidth is the actual service forwarding ability of digital communication
components and links. It is not the standard bandwidth that is provided by the ports. The actual
bandwidth concerns the ability of the digital communication component, IP packet length, port
convergence ratio of interface board, Trunk ability, and QoS mechanism. During bandwidth
planning, you must configure interface boards, ports and links based on the actual bandwidth.
Reserved bandwidth must be configured during bandwidth planning. You can calculate the
reserved bandwidth based on the algorithm for trunk circuits of the PSTN and links of Signaling
System Number 7.

Planning Based on Service Traffic


Figure 2-2 is an example of the bearer network access model. You must consider the subscriber
number, toll call ratio and call model during bandwidth planning.

toll call ratio (inner and outer province calls) in MGWs, and call model. The total bandwidth
of the BRs is the sum of the bandwidth of connected ARs.

sum of the bandwidth of connected BRs.
l Bandwidth between CRs
All CRs are interconnected. The outgoing bandwidth between CRs is determined by:
subscriber capacity, call traffic ratio between multi-areas and call model.

2.3 Traffic Planning over Each Interface for VoIP


Networking Evolution
During VoIP networking evolution, both the traffic over each interface and number of wideband
signaling links based on the IP bearer mode must be planned. At the same time, when the original
TDM signaling links remain unchanged after network evolution, the number of links for capacity
expansion based on the TDM bearer mode must also be planned.

From the preceding figure, you can know that:


l The messages between MSC servers, between the MSC server and MGW, and between
MGWs are transferred over the IP bearer.
The interworking between the MSC server and the MGW is based on the H.248 protocol.
The structure of the protocol stack on the MSC server side is H.248/SCTP/IP, which is
the same as that on the MGW side.
The interworking between MSC servers is based on the BICC protocol. The structures
of the protocol stacks on the MSC server side are the same, which are BICC/M3UA/
SCTP/IP.
l The MSC server can interwork with core network NEs, such as the HLR and the SCP, in
direct MTP connection mode, non-direct M2UA connection mode, or non-direct M3UA
connection mode.
When the MSC server interworks with the peer NE in direct MTP connection mode,
the structures of the bottom layer bearer protocols on the MSC server side and the peer
NE side are the same, which are MTP3/MTP2/MTP1.
When the MSC server interworks with the peer NE in non-direct M2UA connection
mode, the structure of the bottom layer bearer protocol on the MSC server side is MTP3/
M2UA/SCTP/IP, and the structure of the bottom layer bearer protocol on the peer NE
side is MTP3/MTP2/MTP1.
When the MSC server interworks with the peer NE in non-direct M3UA connection
mode, the structure of the bottom layer bearer protocol on the MSC server side is M3UA/
SCTP/IP, and the structure of the bottom layer bearer protocol on the peer NE side is
MTP3/MTP2/MTP1.
l The MSC server interworks with the BSC in non-direct M3UA connection mode. The
structure of the protocol stack on the MSC server side is BSSAP/SCCP/M3UA/SCTP/IP,
and the structure of the protocol stack on the BSC side is BSSAP/SCCP/MTP3/MTP2/
MTP1.
The difference between the newly established VoIP networking and traditional networking lies
in different IP-related data configurations, as shown in Figure 3-2.

3.1 Single-MGW Networking


This section describes the VoIP-related data that must be configured when the VoIP service is
used in the single-MGW networking by taking a typical single-MGW networking mode as an
example.

Networking Description
The single-MGW networking is the simplest networking in the core network and easy to be
implemented. It, however, can provide limited channel resources. Figure 3-3 shows the typical
single-MGW VoIP networking mode.

From the preceding figure, you can know that:

l When the MSC server interworks with the NE of the core network, the SPC for the national
network is used. When the MSC server interworks with the NE of the access network, the
SPC for the national reserved network is used.
l The interworking between the MSC server and the MGW is based on the H.248 protocol
and IP bearer. The structures of the protocol stack on the MSC server side and the MGW
side are the same, which are H.248/SCTP/IP.
l The interworking between the MSC server and MSC1 is based on the BICC protocol. The
MSC server interworks with MSC1 in M3UA direct connection mode. The structure of the
protocol stack on the MSC server side is BICC/M3UA/SCTP/IP, which is the same as that
on the MSC1 side.

l The interworking between the MSC server and MSC2 is based on the ISUP protocol. The
MSC server interworks with MSC2 in non-direct M3UA connection mode. The MGW (SG)
is used as the signaling transfer point (STP). The structure of the protocol stack on the MSC
server side is ISUP/SCCP/M3UA/SCTP/IP. The structure of the protocol stack on the
MSC2 side is ISUP/SCCP/MTP3/MTP2/MTP1.
l The MSC server is directly connected with the STP and the HLR through the TDM bearer.

MGW VoIP networking.

Procedure
Step 1 Load a license file.

Descr Load a license file where License file name is LICENSE.dat.


iption

Script LOD LICENSE: FN="LICENSE.dat";

Rema For BICC inter-office calls, the license file must support the TrFO function and the
rks voice coding/decoding function. After a license file is loaded, you must run DSP
LICENSE to display the information on the license file, and then confirm whether
the information is correct. To meet the requirements of the VoIP networking, you
must confirm that the license file supports the TrFo and AMR2 functions.

Step 2 Configure local office information.


1. Set a local office information data record.

Rem The MSOFTX3000 is connected to the default router (gateway) through the FE
arks port, and then communicates with other IP devices through the default router
(gateway). You must correctly set the IP address of the default router (gateway)
connected to the FE port; otherwise, the MSOFTX3000 cannot properly
communicate with IP devices.

Step 3 Configure MGW data.


1. Add an MGW data record.

Descr Add an MGW data record where MGW name is MGW1, Transport
iptio protocol is SCTP protocol, and Server/Client is Server.
n

Scrip ADD MGW: MGWNAME="MGW1", TRNST=SCTP, CTRLMN=136, MGWDESC="MGW1",

MN=141, SLOCIP1="192.168.0.10", SLOCPORT=5000,
SRMTIP1="192.168.10.10", SRMTPORT=5001;

Rem l When H.248 messages are transmitted between the MSOFTX3000 and an
arks MGW through the SCTP protocol, you can configure up to 30 H.248 links
between the MSOFTX3000 and the MGW.
l To ensure reliability and availability, you must configure multiple H.248
links between the MSOFTX3000 and the MGW.
l The MSOFTX3000 must act as the server. If the MSOFTX3000 acts as the
client, the virtual MGW cannot register and cannot be activated.
l If multiple H.248 links are configured between the MSOFTX3000 and an
MGW, it is recommended that those H.248 links adopt the same local port
number.

Step 4 Configure M3UA data for interworking with the MGW.

3.2 Multi-MGW Networking


This section describes the VoIP-related data that must be configured when the VoIP service is
used in the multi-MGW networking by taking a typical multi-MGW networking mode as an
example.

Networking Description
Multiple MGWs coordinate to provide services in multi-MGW networking mode, thus
improving the traffic processing capability. The multi-MGW networking is applicable to the
scenarios in which the traffic is heavy or the geographic locations of the NEs are decentralized.
Figure 3-5 shows the typical multi-MGW VoIP networking mode.

From the preceding figure, you can know that:


l When the MSC server interworks with the NE of the core network, the SPC for the national
network is used. When the MSC server interworks with the NE of the access network, the
SPC for the national reserved network is used.
l The interworking between the MSC server and MSC1 is based on the BICC protocol. The
MSC server interworks with MSC1 in direct M3UA connection mode. The structure of the
protocol stack on the MSC server side is BICC/M3UA/SCTP/IP, which is the same as that
on the MSC1 side.
l The interworking between the MSC server and MSC2 is based on the ISUP protocol. The
MSC server interworks with MSC2 in non-direct M3UA connection mode. The MGW (SG)

is used as the STP. The structure of the protocol stack on the MSC server side is ISUP/
SCCP/M3UA/SCTP/IP. The structure of the protocol stack on the MSC2 side is ISUP/
SCCP/MTP3/MTP2/MTP1.
l The interworking between the MSC server and the BSC is based on the BSSAP protocol.
The MSC server interworks with the BSC in M3UA connection mode. The MGW (SG) is
used as the STP. The structure of the protocol stack on the MSC server side is BSSAP/
SCCP/M3UA/SCTP/IP. The structure of the protocol stack on the BSC side is BSSAP/
SCCP/MTP3/MTP2/MTP1.
l The interworking between the MSC server and the MGW is based on the H.248 protocol
and IP bearer. The structure of the protocol stack on the MSC server side is H.248/SCTP/
IP, which is the same as that on the MGW side.
l The MGWs interwork with each other through the IP bearer.

3.3 CMN Networking


This section describes the VoIP-related data that must be configured when the VoIP service is
used in the CMN networking by taking a typical CMN networking mode as an example.

Networking Description
In the CMN networking, the MSC server independently provides the CMN function, transfers
calls, and routes calls. The MGWs controlled by the active and standby MSC servers that are
connected to the CMN are directly connected through the IP bearer network.
Figure 3-7 shows the typical CMN VoIP networking.

From the preceding figure, you can know that:


l The CMN call flow is a BICC incoming and outgoing call flow, which does not control the
MGW.
l The CMN is not involved in the codec negotiation.
l The interworking between the CMN and MSC server1 is based on the BICC protocol. The
CMN interworks with MSC server1 in direct M3UA connection mode. The structure of the
protocol stack on the CMN side is BICC/M3UA/SCTP/IP, which is the same as that on the
MSC server1 side.
l The interworking between the CMN and MSC server2 is based on the BICC protocol. The
CMN interworks with MSC server2 in direct M3UA connection mode. The structure of the
protocol stack on the CMN side is BICC/M3UA/SCTP/IP, which is the same as that on the
MSC server2 side.
l MGWs are directly connected through the IP bearer network.

Interworking Data
For the CMN networking, you must plan and collect the following data:
l Signaling point name
l Signaling point name
l Office direction name
l IP address

Use

About This Chapter

This section describes the data configuration of the VoIP bearer network.

The following aspects are involved in the VoIP networking evolving from network in use.

l The data configuration of the Nc interface between the MSC servers is modified.
In the original network, if the ISUP is used between the MSC servers, the MSC servers
interwork with each other by using the M3UA direct connection mode or the M3UA
indirect connection mode. The original ISUP data configuration is not changed. The
BICC signaling data is configured between the MSC servers using the M3UA direct
connection mode.
During the evolution to the VoIP networking, the signaling point for direct connection
is added between the MSC servers. The M3UA data and BICC signaling data is
configured.
In the original network, if the ISUP is used between the MSC servers, the MSC servers
interwork with each other by using the MTP direct connection mode or the M2UA
connection mode. When the two MSC servers must be connected through the VoIP
bearer network, the the BICC signaling is used between the two MSC servers instead
of the ISUP signaling. The M3UA direct connection mode is used. If one of the MSC
servers does not need to use the VoIP bearer networking, the data configuration of the
interface between the MSC servers is not changed.
During the evolution to the VoIP networking, the signaling point for direct connection
is added between the MSC servers and M3UA data and BICC signaling data is
configured. The data must be configured according to actual situations.
l The data configuration of the Nb interface between the MSC servers is modified.
In the original network, if the MSC server and the MGW are interconnected through
the IP networking mode, the data of the default gateways must be configured for the
MSC server and the MGW.
In the original network, if the MSC server and the MGW are interconnected through
the TDM networking mode, the data of IP interfaces and default gateways must be

configured for the MSC server and the MGW. The IP bearer networking must be used
between the MGWs.
l The data configuration of the A interface between the MSC server and the BSC is modified.
In the original network, if the MSC server and the BSC are interconnected through the
M3UA direct connection mode, the data configuration of the interface between the MSC
server and the BSC is not changed.
In the original network, if the MSC server and the BSC are interconnected through the
MTP or M2UA networking mode, the M3UA networking mode must be used between
the MSC server and the BSC. The MGW (SG) is used as the signalling transfer point.
The impact of evolution on services indicates the impact of inter-office Nc and Nb interface
changes on services. The BICC protocol evolves from the ISUP protocol, which support all the
ISUP services besides IP bearer services. In theory, the Nc interface adopts the BICC signaling
instead of the ISUP signaling, thus ensuring the forward compatibility of the services. Due to
the restrictions of the IP bearer, for example, because the packet loss, time delay, jitter, and
bandwidth are difficult to control, the IP bearer is less reliable than the TDM bearer. During the
evolution to the IP networking, the quality of the bearer network is very important. The MSC
server can use proper speech codec in cooperation with the bearer network. (The voice quality
can be assured while low bandwidth usage can be achieved.) The service quality can be assured
by using 2198 redundancy and IP CAC functions.
The IP bearer data configuration is closely related to the interworking data of interfaces between
NEs, but merely related to the entire network architecture. Therefore, this manual takes the
single-MGW networking, multi-MGW networking, and CMN networking as examples to
describe the data configuration on the typical networking.
4.1 Single-MGW Networking
This section describes the data configuration in the single-MGW VoIP networking mode.
4.2 Multi-MGW Networking
This section describes the data configuration in the multi-MGW VoIP networking.
4.3 CMN Networking
This section describes the data configuration in the CMN VoIP networking mode.

6.3 Troubleshooting VoIP Faults


During troubleshooting, you can exclude the impossible factors by analyzing and comparing the
possible causes by using certain methods. Then, you can find out the cause of the fault.

Context
Comparing with the traditional TDM network, the VoIP network uses the IP bearer network to
transmit the voice service data. The transmission quality of the IP bearer network is closely
related to the quality of the voice services. Therefore, you must first determine whether the VoIP
fault is caused by the fault of the IP bearer network or the fault of the softswitch of the core
network. To locate the VoIP fault, proceed as follows:

Procedure
Step 1 Check whether the boards and interfaces are faulty, whether the port negotiation is normal, and
whether the ARP detection is normal by using the board querying command on the
MSOFTX3000 and UMG8900. In this way, you can find out whether the core network
equipment works normally.
l If it works normally, go to Step 2
l If it does not work normally, go to Step 6

Step 2 Locate the fault in cooperation with the maintenance staff of the IP bearer network.

Run the ping command on the core network equipment to check whether the fault occurs at the
access side or in the backbone network.

l Trace IP messages on the client of the MSOFTX3000 and ping the MGW and the Mc interface
of the remote MGW.
l Trace the IP messages on the client of the UMG8900.
If a fault is found in the signaling plane, ping the gateway of the signaling plane and the
Mc interface of the remote MSC.
If a fault is found in the bearer plane, ping the gateway of the bearer plane and the Nb
interface of the remote MGW.

When the following operation results are displayed:

l If the local gateway cannot be pinged or the packet loss occurs, the fault is caused by the
problem at the accessing side of the local IP bearer network. Go to Step 4
l If the local gateway can be pinged and the packet loss is not found, but the remote core
network equipment cannot be pinged or the packet loss is found, go to Step 3

Step 3 Log into the remote core network equipment and ping the remote gateway.

l If the remote gateway cannot be pinged or the packet loss is found, the fault is caused by the
problem at the accessing side of the remote IP bearer network. Then go to Step 4
l If the remote gateway can be pinged and the packet loss is not found, the fault is caused by
the problem of the backbone IP bearer network. Then go to Step 5
Step 4 On the MSOFTX3000, ping the virtual IP address of the router (IP1), the VLAN IP address of
the active router (IP2) and the VLAN IP address of the standby router (IP3).
l If IP1 and IP2 cannot be pinged but IP3 can be pinged, the fault is caused by the level 3
logical failure of the router.
l If only IP2 can be pinged, the fault is caused by the level 2 logical failure of the router.

Step 5 Contact the maintenance staff of the IP bearer network to handle the fault.
Step 6 Locate the fault of the core network equipment.
l You can locate service faults through signaling trace, dialing tests, service comparison, and
performance measurement.
l You can locate function faults through tests, loopback tests, service comparison, hardware
replacement, and performance measurement.
For details, see the HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Troubleshooting Manual.

6.4 Troubleshooting VoIP Faults Based on Alarms


When certain fault occurs, the related alarm is generated at the alarm console. You can handle
the fault based on the prompt information provided by the alarm console and the help information
about the fault.

6.5 Troubleshooting VoIP Faults Based on Performance


Measurement
If abrupt change is found in the performance measurement results, the network operation may
not be normal. In this case, you must locate and remove faults based on the performance
measurement.

Performance of the VoIP network is measured in terms of two types of indexes: stream indexes
and traffic indexes.

The following performance indexes of the traffic often change abruptly: IP port traffic, Mc
interface H.248 traffic, and M3UA signaling traffic.

The following performance index of performance measurement often changes abruptly: BICC
trunk performance measurement.

Abrupt Change in Traffic Statistics


The traffic statistics consists of sent and received packets on the IP port, sending and receiving
rate statistics, the statistics of sent and received packets from the MSC server to the MGW, and
the traffic statistics of M3UA signaling.

The abnormal cases in statistics include: abrupt traffic increase, abrupt traffic decrease and zero
traffic change.

l Abrupt traffic increase often occurs when the traffic is increased abnormally. This fault is
caused by repeated call attempts due to subscriber communication failure. If the reserved
bandwidth is small in this case, the continuous call loss occurs, which can cause repeated
call attempts. As a result, the traffic at the IP port maintains at a high level.
l Abrupt traffic decrease often occurs when the IP bearer network is damaged but the
communication is not interrupted completely. When this fault occurs, the bearer network
discards some IP packets being forwarded. The MSC cannot receive the responses of some
messages from the peer NE, so subsequent IP packets cannot be sent through the bearer
network. As a result, the link congestion occurs. The intermittent alarm of the M3UA link
is often reported in this case.
l Zero traffic change occurs when the IP bearer network is interrupted completely or the IP
interface board is faulty. This fault can result in service interruption.

When abrupt change in traffic statistics result is found, you must compare the current traffic
statistics result with that in the same time segment of the previous day. You can categorize the
fault based on the normality of the traffic statistics.

l For abrupt traffic increase, you must locate the cause of repeated call attempts and remove
this fault. You must bring down the call traffic through flow control or other methods to
avoid the adverse impact of system overload on communication bandwidths.
l For abrupt traffic decrease, you must locate the bearer network damage through the ping
command. After you locate the bearer network damage, you must switch over the IP bearer
plane to restore the services immediately. Then you can locate the faulty node of the bearer
network and remove the fault.

6 VoIP Troubleshooting VoIP User Manual

l For zero traffic change, you must remove the fault in the IP interface board of the MSC
server. Then you must switch the IP bearer plane and restore the services immediately. You
can locate the faulty node of the bearer network and remove the fault.

Abrupt Change in Performance Measurement


When the M3UA protocol is used to bear the BICC signaling message, you must measure the
traffic in the BICC trunk office direction in terms of the following indexes: number of call
attempts, call completion rate, and idle and faulty CICs.

The abnormal cases in traffic measurement include: call attempt decrease, call completion rate
decrease and faulty CIC ratio increase.

When abrupt change in traffic measurement result is found, you must compare the current traffic
measurement result with that in the same time segment of the previous day. You can categorize
the fault based on the normality of the traffic measurement.

l For call attempt decrease, you must check whether the increase of blocked CICs is caused
by the fault in the office direction.
l For call completion rate decrease, you must check whether the failure processing function
and CIC contention for BICC signaling are enabled. If not, enable the two functions first.
If call completion rate decrease persists after the two functions are enabled, you must check
the packet loss ratio of the bearer network between the two sits by using the ping command.
Then you can determine whether the bandwidth damage of the bearer network occurs or
the transmission quality of the bearer network is decreased. If the bearer network works
properly, you must check whether the fault is caused by the data modification on the peer
office.
l For faulty CIC ratio increase, you must check whether the peer M3UA entity is reachable.
Then you can determine whether the CIC fault is caused is caused by the problem that the
M3UA route is unreachable. If the M3UA route works properly, you must check whether
the fault is caused by the data modification on the peer office.

When the traffic on this office direction is normal in a short period, redirect call data over the
abnormal route to the standby route by modifying the data on the local office.

7 Principles and Data Configuration of Bearer Network VoIP User Manual

7.1 Basic Principles


In VoIP applications, the basic principles involved in the bearer network include BFD, VRRP,
FRR, BGP/MPLS IP VPN, and resources isolation in VPN.

BFD
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is a set of global detection mechanism for the entire
network. It is used to check and monitor the forwarding and connecting status of the links or IP
routes in the network. The BFD can be used to check connectivity of the data protocol transmitted
in the same path between two systems. This path can be a physical link or a logical link, or a
channel as well.
BFD provides the following functions:
l Providing light load and short duration detection to the channel fault between the
neighboring forwarding engines.
l Providing realtime detection to media of all types and the protocol layer by using single
mechanism.

VRRP
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a protocol constituted by Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). This protocol is used to handle the reliability problem when a machine in
the LAN accesses external networks.
Normally, all machines in the internal network are configured with the same default route to a
breakout gateway. In this way, the machines can communicate with external networks. When
the breakout gateway is faulty, the machines cannot communicate with external networks.
The VRRP can be used to form a backup group by using a group of routers in the LAN. This
backup group can serve as a virtual router. The machines in the LAN can use the IP address of
the virtual router as the IP address of the default gateway. The machines then can communicate
with external networks through the virtual router.
The VRRP can be used to dynamically associate the virtual router with the physical router
transmitting service data. When the physical router is faulty, another router is selected to transmit
service data. The subscriber data is transparently transmitted in the process. In this way, the
communication between the internal network and the external network is not interrupted.
The advantage of the VRRP is: A default route with higher availability is provided without
changing networking modes or configuring dynamic routes or route detection protocol. In the
LAN capable of multicast or broadcast services (such as the Ethernet), the VRRP can be used
to provide a logical gateway to ensure the high availability of the transmission links. This can
solve the service interruption problem caused by certain router failure without modifying the
configuration of the route protocol.

FRR
Fast ReRoute (FRR) covers the technologies including IP FRR, LDP FRR, MPLS TE FRR, and
VPN FRR. The FRR can enable fast route switch through the backup data in the forwarding
plane.

l IP FRR
IP FRR can be used to record the status of each port and the load sharing status in the
network through the port status table in the forwarding module. Then the available route
can be set up for transmitting the data packet immediately. This technology can enable the
FRR function to take effect immediately. The technology can also enable data forwarding
with high reliability by using multiple data sharing entries in the forwarding table. In this
way, it can enable fast switch in case of failures.
l LDP FRR
When Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) works in the Downstream Unsolicited (DU) label
distribution mode, the ordered label control mode or the liberal retention mode, the Label
Switched Router (LSR) saves the received label mappings. Only the label mapping received
from the next hop according to the routing table is added to the label forwarding table. The
standby label switched path (LSP) is created. In this way, the system can perform fast
switchover upon failure without calculating routes after failure and re-establishing the LSP.
LDP FRR can provide the port-class protection scheme for the MPLS network.
l MPLS TE FRR
MPLS TE FRR is a common technology used for fast switchover upon failure. This
technology is used to establish a Traffic Engineering (TE) channel between two PE devices.
It is also used to establish a standby LSP for the desired active LSP. When the active LSP
is found unavailable (node failure or link failure), the system can switch the traffic to the
standby LSP. In this way, it enables fast switchover for services.
l VPN FRR
If the PE device is configured with VPN FRR, it records the route information of the selected
next hop node and the route information of the secondary next hop node. When the selected
next hop node is faulty, the PE device can use technologies such as BFD to detect that the
external channel to the selected next hop node is unavailable. The PE device can use the
secondary route in the forwarding record to forward messages.

BGP/MPLS IP VPN
BGP/MPLS IPx VPN is a PE-based L3VPN technology in the Provider Provisioned VPN
(PPVPN). This technology is used to advertise the VPN routes by using the BGP in the backbone
network of the service provider. This technology is also used to forward VPN packets by using
the MPLS in the backbone network of the service provider. It features in flexible networking
modes and good expandability. It can support MPLS QoS and MPLS TE easily, so it is applied
widely.
The BGP/MPLS IP VPN model consists of CE, PE and P.
l Customer Edge (CE): It is the network edge device of the customer. It is directly connected
to the Service Provider (SP). A CE can be a router, a switch or a workstation. Normally,
the CE is required to support the MPLS.
l Provider Edge (PE): It is the edge router of the service provider. It is the edge device of the
SP network. The PE is connected to CE directly. In the MPLS network, all the processing
of the VPN is handled PE.
l Provider (P): It is the backbone router of the SP network. The P is not connected to the CE
directly. The P is required to provide basic MPLS forwarding functions. It does not maintain
the VPN information.
Site refers to a group of systems that provide IP connectivity mutually. The IP connectivity of
the group of IP systems does not rely on network of the service provider. The Site is connected

to the network of the provider through the CE. A site can contain several CEs, but one CE belongs
to only one Site.

Resources Isolation VPN


The resources isolation VPN adopts the multiplexing technology to provide transmission
channels for various services. The resources isolation VPN can solve the problems of service
interference and resources allocation when the data of Expedited Forwarding (EF), Assured
Forwarding (AF) and Best-Effort (BE) is transmitted concurrently in the channel. It also provides
the peer to peer QoS assurance for the VPN users.
l To solve the interference problem between services, you can create a service channel
between two PE devices for each type of service. When the VPN service of the same type
uses the same channel between two PE devices, different services can be isolated. In this
way, resources contention can be avoided. If a new VPN user is added or a user requires
more bandwidths, you can adjust the bandwidth of a TE channel dynamically or create a
new TE channel to meet the user's need.
l When the VPN services of the same type use the same TE channel between two PE devices,
resources contention may occur. You can use committed access rate (CAR) to solve this
problem. After the service type of VPN user and the required bandwidth are acknowledged,
you can limit the bandwidth of the user service by setting the CAR at the entrance of the
TE channel.

7.2 Reliable Networking Technologies for IP Network


This section describes the fault detection technologies to ensure the reliability of the IP bearer
network.
The reliable networking principles for the IP bearer network are as follows:
l The IP network consists of core layer, convergence layer and edge layer. According to the
service status and service prediction, the accessing node at accessing edge layer adopts
redundant backup configuration. The accessing node is connected to convergence nodes.
The devices at the convergence layer are connected to the devices in dual-homing mode at
the upper layer. The devices at the convergence layer and core layer can be set according
to the actual situations. The devices at the core layer adopt full interconnection mode or
semi-interconnection mode to ensure reliable traffic forwarding.
l The devices in the same layer are interconnected. One device can be connected to multiple
devices.
l The devices in the lower layer are connected to dual-homing or multi-homing devices in
the upper layer.
l Parts of the network can be adjusted based on actual traffic.

Fault Detection of Intermediate Transmission Links


The BFD technology is often used to detect faults of intermediate transmission links. The system
can detect faults of the links in time through the bidirectional detection mechanism of the BFD.
The BFD is a bidirectional detection mechanism. The detection packets are sent on both sides
of the link. Normally, the detection packets can be received on both sides on time. If the detection
packets are not received at any side within specified period, the system determines that the link
is interrupted. Then the system reports this fault to other modules and starts link switchover.

Fault Detection of Downlink Port of Router at Access Point


The IP FRR technology is used to detect faults of the downlink port of the router at the access
point. The backup route information is set up at the forwarding layer. The system can use the
backup route information to enable fast route switchover in case of failure.
The link between the CE and the active PE is faulty when data is transmitted to the CE device
in the IP bearer network. In this case, the system can switch the route to the standby PE based
load sharing information in the forwarded packet. The data is forwarded from the active PE to
the standby PE, and then sent to the CE. In this way, the service is not affected. The neighbor
in the private network must be set up between the active PE and the standby PE. The backup
path to the CE can be set for the active PE.

Fault Detection of Intermediate Nodes and Links to Intermediate Nodes


The LDP/TE FRR technology is used to detect faults of intermediate nodes and links to
intermediate nodes. When the standby LSP is set up for the active LSP, the TE is also used to
assure the QoS. In this way, the QoS of the entire network is improved. If providers or the links
of providers are faulty when no transmission equipment is found between providers, the
neighboring PE starts the LSP switchover to maintain normal service operations.
If the LDP/TE FRR technology cannot detect faults when transmission equipment is found
between providers, only the BFD and OAM technology can be used to detect faults.

Fault Detection of Router at Remote Accessing Point


The VPN FRR technology is used to detect faults of routers at the remote accessing point. The
local router can use two remote routers in the VPN as the next hop. In this way, the active and
standby route configuration is set. When the active route is faulty, the system can switch data
transmission to the standby route without affecting services.

streams and signaling streams from the MSC server and MGW.
l PE1 and PE2 are edge routers of the backbone network.
l By separating the VPN, media streams and signaling streams of CE and PE can be
transmitted separately. The VPN-instance signal is used to transmit signaling streams and
the VPN-instance media is used to transmit media streams.
l The VPN-instance signal and the VPN-instance media use router distinguisher (RD)s of
different attributes.
l OSPF VPN Multi-instance is used among CE1, CE2, PE1 and PE2.

9 FAQ

This section describes FAQs related to the IP bearer networks.

How is DTMF applied in the IP/TDM dual bearers?


The TDM bearer uses inband Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) to transmit data. The IP
bearer uses outband DTMF to transmit data. If the DTMF signal of the TDM bearer is transmitted
in the IP bearer without conversion, the transmission quality cannot be assured and the DTMF
signal may be lost. Therefore, the DTMF conversion is required in the case of IP/TDM dual
bearers.

l When the data is transmitted from the TDM bearer to the IP bearer, the system must check
the DTMF signal at the TDM node and convert the intraband DTMF signal to the outband
DTMF signal.
l When the data is transmitted from the IP bearer to the TDM bearer, the MSC server must
convert the outband DTMF signal to the inband DTMF signal.
l When only the IP bearer is used, only the outband DTMF can be used.

How to assure the RBT quality and control the VAD function during conversation?
The VAD function can save bandwidth and improve utilization ratio of transmission resources
when this function is enabled during conversation. The VAD function, however, can reduce the
RBT quality greatly. Therefore, the MSC server must control the MGW to enable or disable the
VAD function based on conversation type and phrase.

How does the MSC server perform flow control in the IP bearer network?
The MSC server can perform flow control in the IP bearer network with the following methods:

l Active flow control: The MSC server can obtain the supported calls based on the bandwidth
of the IP bearer network. The MSC server can perform flow control to calls based on the
calls.
l Feedback flow control: The MSC server requires the MGW to sample calls and call quality
in the IP bearer network. The MSC server performs the flow control based on the sampling
result reported by the MGW.

In the feedback flow control, the MSC server can perform IP QoS tests to the nodes that have
established calls between MGWs. When QoS loss is found between MGWs, the MSC server

performs flow control to subsequent calls. In this way, the voice quality of the ongoing calls is
not affected by QoS loss.
