1 Introduction 1.1 Positioning
This document describes HUAWEI USN9810 V900R011.
The Huawei-proprietary USN9810 is a unified service node that can be deployed in 2.5G general packet radio service (GPRS) systems, 3G universal mobile telecommunications systems (UMTSs), or evolved packet core (EPC) systems. The USN9810 is deployed at the EPC and can provide the functionalities of the serving GPRS support node (SGSN), mobility management entity (MME), or any combination of them. It is maintained as a single piece of equipment.
1.1.1 3GPP System Evolution This section describes the evolution of the EPC system.
1. Introduction to existing networks With the evolution of the radio technologies, existing networks have evolved from the 2G global system for mobile communications (GSM) to the 2.5G GPRS and lastly the 3G UMTS. This evolution has allowed mobile communications to achieve wide area coverage, high-speed radio data transmission, and integration with the Internet. The result is that the consumer can enjoy diversified services like voice, data, and video applications and "any time, any place" communication delivered in a personalized fashion. Currently, with the robust development of services and diversification of requirements, the 3G UMTS architecture is hindered by inherent limitations: Insufficient support for packet switched (PS) domain network services. Generally, the
3G UMTS system is capable of supporting only non-real time services and depends on the circuit switched (CS) domain to bear voice services. This results in separate network operations for PS and CS, which hinders centralized network maintenance and management and increases OM expenditures.
Low efficiency in routing and forwarding data due to excessive network layers. Therefore, network performance needs to be improved.
Incapable of supporting multiple radio access systems. The development of service terminals in processing capabilities and radio access capabilities provides an impetus for the integration of multiple radio access technologies.

2. Introduction to EPC networks To maintain a competitive edge in future networks, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) began to research the implications and long-term evolution of 3G technology-E3G technology. E3G refers to the enhanced 3G system, which has the following features: The technology for the air interface in E3G is LTE. The core network evolution program of the LTE project is SAE, also known as the
EPC. The 3GPP EPC project is working on a long-term program to explore key technologies in the next 10 years. According to the 3GPP evolution design, the EPC system provides the following features: Overall packetization of the network architecture: The all-IP network contains only
the PS. Voice services are jointly provided by the PS and the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS), enhancing the network efficiency and performance.
Delayered network architecture: The network architecture becomes simpler so that networks can be deployed more easily and data transmission delay is greatly reduced. The S-GW and P-GW may be implemented in one physical node, delayering the network.
Support for multiple access technologies: The EPC system supports interworking with the existing 3GPP system. In addition, it supports access of users in non-3GPP networks and provides roaming and handover between the 3GPP and non-3GPP networks for users.
High data transmission rate: The peak rate of the downlink traffic reaches 100 Mbit/s and the peak rate of the uplink traffic reaches 50 Mbit/s.
Fast deployment: Thanks to the simplified architecture, networks can be deployed rapidly to adapt to the requirements of the changing services.
Enhanced real-time services: The EPC system supports real-time services and reduces the setup time for service connections.
Figure 1-1 shows the evolution of the network architecture in the 3GPP standard.

The signaling plane and forwarding plane of the SGSN are separated from each other. The signaling function of the SGSN is implemented by the MME, and the forwarding function of the SGSN is implemented by the S-GW.
In a version earlier than USN9810 V900R011C00, an SGSN is called a Gn/Gp SGSN. In a version later than USN9810 V900R011C00, an SGSN is called an S4 SGSN. The Gn/Gp SGSN inherits the SGSN functions of the 2G/3G network. The GGSN can be connected to the GERAN or UTRAN through the Gn/Gp SGSN. The S4 SGSN is the upgraded version of Gn/Gp SGSN. The EPC can be connected to the GERAN or UTRAN through the S4 SGSN, which supports the users' switchover between the GERAN/UTRAN and E-UTRAN. The functions of the GGSN are provided by the P-GW. The S-GW and P-GW may be implemented in one physical node, delayering the
network. The network converges with the non-3GPP networks such as CDMA2000 high rate
packet data (HRPD) network, providing the interworking for various radio access technologies as shown in Figure 1-2.

DNS There are two types of 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/SGSN.
The DNS can also be deployed on other networks in addition to GPRS/UMTS networks.

Host Software
The host software runs on different boards. It implements functions such as signaling access and processing, service control, resource management, and charging information generation. In response to specific commands, the host software also performs the following operations such as data management, device management, alarm management, performance statistics, and signaling trace on the host in cooperation with the BAM software.
The host software adopts a hierarchical and modular design. From bottom to top, its components are the operating system, middleware, and various applications.
1. Operating System
The operating system of the host software is Linux, which is a real-time operating system.
2. Middleware
The middleware technology (DOPRA) is applied to the operating system and applications of the USN9810. Thus, the upper-layer service software is irrelevant to the lower-layer operating system.
The middleware facilitates the migration of software functions between different platforms. Thus, new and stable product versions are released quickly as the service software is rarely changed.
3. 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

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.
