2 Application
2.1 Overview
Huawei Global System for Mobile Communications-Railway (GSM-R) GTSOFTX3000
Mobile Softswitch Center (GTSOFTX3000) is developed to meet the requirements of various
railway operators and networks.
Differences between the GTSOFTX3000 and MSOFTX3000 are as follows:
Target market.
The GTSOFTX3000 applies to GSM-R networks, whereas the MSOFTX3000 applies to
public networks.
Network scale.
The number of subscribers served by GSM-R networks is about 4000 to 30,000, which is
much smaller than that served by public networks. Therefore, the GTSOFTX3000 used
in GSM-R networks is configured with only one cabinet and one subrack.
Services being provided.
The GSM-R GTSOFTX3000 supports GSM-R dedicated services as well as basic GSM
services and supplementary services defined in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project
(3GPP) protocol. The MSOFTX3000 supports many public network services as well as
basic GSM services and supplementary services defined in 3GPP.
Requirement on acknowledgement center (AC) server.
An AC server must be configured on the GSM-R networks and it records the
confirmation information of subscribers’ participation in high-priority group calls. Public
networks do not have an AC server.
Requirement on integrated service system (ISS) server.
An ISS server and an AC server can be collocated on GSM-R networks. The ISS server
does not require a separate board and it provides subscriber functional numbers for
railway dispatching system to query subscriber location information. Public networks do
not have an ISS server.
Operation and maintenance unit (OMU).
The OMU used by GTSOFTX3000 and MSOFTX3000 has same hardware architecture
but different software architecture. The GTSOFTX3000 has its own OMU installation
software which can be downloaded from http://support.huawei.com.
3 Configuration
Base configuration system (one cabinet) consists of one integrated cabinet, one subrack, two
system management boards, two LAN switches, and two pair of switching boards that process
and distribute narrowband clocks. Base configuration system provides switching function and
one base configuration system is configured on each GTSOFTX3000.
The OMU works in active and standby mode and consists of universal service boards with
hard disk, platform software, interface boards, operating system software, and database
software. The OMU is configured on each GTSOFTX3000 and is always installed in slots 4
and 5 of the base configuration system.
iGWB Unit
The iGWB unit is used for process call detail records (CDRs) and communication with the
billing center.
The iGWB units work in active and standby mode and are always installed in slots 8 and 9
(not fixed slot numbers).
Configuration principle: When an iGWB is deployed, the iGWB unit must be configured.
Configuration principle: If a GSM-R site does not need an ISS server but serves subscribers
who need to confirm their participation in high-priority group calls and broadcasts, the site
needs an AC server.
The service processing unit works in 1+1 backup mode. One service processing unit is
configured on a GSM-R network and it is installed in slots 0 and 1 (not fixed slot numbers) of
the basic subrack.
Universal service interface unit and E1/T1 & GE interface unit can be installed on the rear
board of the service processing unit. The GSM-R uses only VGCU that is installed in slots 0
and 1. Universal service interface unit or E1/T1 & GE interface unit can be installed on the
rear board of the VGCU. The VGCU supports IP packet processing and route selection.
Configuration principle: Each site that serves more than zero subscribers is configured with
the service processing unit.
Table 3-8 lists the main specifications of the VGCU.
Item Specification
Number of static subscribers 300,000
Equivalent busy hour call attempts 1600 K
(BHCA)
Route selection BHCA 50,000 K
IP packet forwarding performance 128,000 packet per second (PPS)
M2UA/M3UA packet processing 66,000 PPS
performance
Table 3-9 lists the narrowband signaling processing performance of the VGCU.
Item Specification
TDM 64 kbit/s link 256 links
TDM 2 Mbit/s link 16 links
When both narrowband links and wideband links are configured on the GSM-R network, the
E1/T1 & GE interface unit is required, and it is always installed on the rear board of the
VGCU.
Configuration principle: A site is configured with the E1/T1 & GE interface unit when the
front boards need to process TDM services that are transmitted over E1/T1 line.
The universal service interface unit provides four GE interfaces and works in load-sharing or
1+1 backup mode to interwork with the VGCU. The GE interface at the topside is always
used.
Configuration principle: A site is configured with the universal service interface unit when
the front boards (including the iGWB unit, AC server, and AC+ISS server) do not need to
process TDM services that are transmitted over E1/T1 line.
unit can be E1/T1 & GE interface unit or universal service interface unit based on whether
narrowband signaling links are available. The GTSOFTX3000 V200R001 is configured with
only one cabinet and one subrack.
Figure 3-1 describes the hardware configuration of the GTSOFTX3000 V200R001.

(VGCU (VGCU OMU OMU SWU SWU iGWB iGWB AC
) )
The VGCU boards can be installed in slots 0 and 1 (not fixed slot numbers), and its rear
boards are universal service interface units (USIA1 boards) or the E1/T1 & GE interface
units (ETIA2 boards).
The board on which the iGWB unit is running can be installed in slots 8 and 9 (not fixed
slot numbers), and its rear boards are USIA1 boards. The iGWB unit supports charging
and CDR processing.
The board on which the AC server is running can be installed in slots 10 (not fixed slot
number), and the rear board is USIA1 board. The AC server processes GSM-R special
services.

Ensure that all software or license files required by carriers are ready.
7 Precautions
7.1 AC Server
The AC server (or the AC+ISS server) or the GMS server does not work in 1+1 backup mode
in a subrack. Therefore, the AC server (or the AC+ISS server) or the GSM server uses one
board.
The AC server and the ISS server are used on GSM-R networks, and the GMS server is used
on GSM-T networks.
The ISS server is used for GSM-R customized services and can be collocated with the AC
server using the same board.
