Overview of UMTS/GSM Data Network
The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is the most widely deployed cellular network in the world. It is based on the specification from European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
GSM was primarily designed for voice and was circuit switched but due to the popularity of cellular networks and the great demand for data services, GPRS was introduced as a packet switched data overlay over the GSM radio network.
The radio and network resources of GPRS are accessed only when data actually needs to be transmitted between the GPRS mobile user and the GPRS network.
GPRS introduced several new network nodes into the GSM architecture for packet switching, they form the Mobile Packet Core. The Mobile Packet Core includes the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) and the GPRS Gateway Support Node (GGSN).
The SGSN is the node which in some ways carries out the same function as the Foreign Agent in Mobile IP. It tunnels IP packets towards the GGSN and detunnels packets back from the GGSN. It also carries out mobility managed and billing.
The GGSN is the node which carries out the role in GPRS equivalent to the Home Agent in Mobile IP. The GGSN provides the connectivity to the IP network and the SGSN. It is responsible for IP address assignment and is the default router for the connected User Equipment (UE).
Figure 17 shows a GSM network and the network elements it contains.
Figure 17 GSM Network Overview
The Base Transceiver Station (BTS) and Base Station Controller (BSC) are located at the Cell site and are the common nodes for both voice and data services. They provide the radio or the physical layer connectivity between the mobile user and the mobile network.
As the BSC voice and data traffic get segregated, the voice traffic goes to the Mobile Switching Center (MSC), while the data traffic is sent to the GGSN. From the GGSN, the data packets either go directly to the internet or they can be backhauled to the customer data center for a VPN connection.
UMTS is a 3G wireless system that delivers high-bandwidth data and voice services to mobile users. UMTS evolved from GSM. UMTS has a new air interface based on GSM and an IP core network based on general-packet radio service (GPRS). The nodes in a UMTS network are almost the same as in a GSM/GPRS network.
BTS and BSC have been renamed to Node B and Radio Network Controller (RNC), respectively. UMTS addresses the growing demand of mobile and Internet applications for new capacity in the overcrowded mobile communications sky. The new network increases transmission speed to 2 Mbps per mobile user and establishes a global roaming standard.
High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) is a collection of two mobile protocols - High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), that extends and improves the performance of existing CDMA/UMTS protocols.
HSDPA and HSUPA provide increased performance by using improved modulation schemes and by refining the protocols by which 3G modem and base stations communicate. These improvements lead to a better utilization of the existing radio bandwidth provided by CDMA.
HSPA improves the end-user experience by increasing peak data rates of up to 14 Mbit/s in the downlink and 5.76 Mbit/s in the uplink. It also reduces latency and provides up to five times more system capacity in the downlink and up to twice as much system capacity in the uplink, reducing the production cost per bit compared to original CDMA protocols.
Multiple PDP contexts
The dual primary PDP contexts feature is supported on the EHWIC3.7G (HSPA+)/3.5G (HSPA) cards.
Each PDP context is the separate data link over common 3G data connection. It has its own IP address and its own data and QoS profile. For each PDP context, the new IOS cellular interface is created once the EHWIC is initialized in the system. In addition to that, each cellular interface has a corresponding TTY line. This is similar to HWICs with multiple ports.
The EHWIC3.7G (HSPA+)/3.5G (HSPA) cards have Cellular 0/<ehwic_slot>/0, Cellular 0/<ehwic_slot>/1, IOS interfaces. The last number in the triple numbering scheme is the port number.
The multiple cellular interfaces in these 3G HWIC cards behave independently. Any of them can be used to establish data connection. However, only the first interface, e.g. Cellular 0/<ehwic_slot>/0 can be used to exercise the full set of modem AT commands using the Reverse Telnet feature.
The HSPA/HSPA+ cellular modem allows you to configure up to16 profiles. The QoS profile configured for an interface is selected by the ATDT*98*#<profile_number>#..."CONNECT" (HSPA modem) or AT!SCACT=1,<profile_number>..."OK" (HSPA+ modem) command in the chat script corresponding to a cellular interface. You must use a different data profile for each cellular interface.
Note
Overview of SNMP MIBs
Simple Management Network Protocol (SNMP) development and use is centered around the Management Information Base (MIB). An SNMP MIB is an abstract data base—a conceptual specification for information that a management application may read and modify in a certain form.
This does not imply that the information is kept in the managed system in that same form. The SNMP agent translates between the internal data structures and formats of the managed system and the external data structures and formats defined for the MIB.
The SNMP MIB is conceptually a tree structure with conceptual tables. Cisco 3G MIB is discussed in more detail in the next section. Relative to this tree structure, the term MIB is used in two senses. In one sense it is actually a MIB branch, usually containing information for a single aspect of technology, such as a transmission medium or a routing protocol.
A MIB used in this sense is more accurately called a MIB module, and is usually defined in a single document. In the other sense a MIB is a collection of such branches. Such a collection might comprise, for example, all the MIB modules implemented by a given agent, or the entire collection of MIB modules defined for SNMP.
A MIB is a tree where the leaves are individual items of data called objects. An object may be, for example, a counter or a protocol status. MIB objects are also sometimes called variables.
MIBs can be classified into three categories:

3G Cellular WAN MIB Architecture
This section describes the MIB definition and implementation support for Cisco's cellular 3G WAN products on the customer premises equipment (CPE) end.
The 3G Cellular WAN MIB supports the CDMA and GSM set of cellular standards and includes the following technologies:
•
•
The 3G cellular MIB uses indexes from the cellular interface and from the modem. You can obtain the interface index using IF-MIBs and the modem index using the ENTITY MIBs.
The 3G MIB definition includes the following major sub-trees:
•
•
•
•
You can use MIB object c3gStandard defined in the c3gWanCommonTable to distinguish between CDMA or GSM and implementing MIB for CDMA or GSM.
Note
At a high level architecture, the Cisco 3G WAN MIBs are divided into two groups and have the following structure:

The RJ-45 port on the faceplate of the 3G EHWIC provides access to the debug port on the Sierra Wireless modem. By connecting an industry-standard diagnostic tool like Qualcomm CAIT/QXDM or Spirent UDM to this port, you can perform radio-level diagnostics and traffic monitoring on the modem.
Use the following test commands to enable/disable the DM port:
router# test cell-hwic 0/1/0 dm-port local {on | off | speed}
router# test cell-hwic 0/1/0 dm-port remote {on | off}
For example, to enable the DM port, use on of these commands:
router# test cell-hwic 0/1/0 dm-port local on
router# test cell-hwic 0/1/0 dm-port remote on
The cable used to connect the PC/Laptop running the diagnostic tool is the standard Cisco router console cable (RJ-45 to DB-9).
