Lossless Compression R1, ATM Cell Switching, and External BITS Clocking Source


The Lossless Compression R1, ATM Cell Switching, and External BITS Clocking Source features introduce a new compression technique in DSP firmware and add enhancements to Cisco IOS that include cell switching on ATM segmentation and reassembly (SAR), and the use of an external BITS clocking source. These features enable Cisco multiservice routers to be used to transparently groom and compress traffic in a wireless service provider network and enable a service provider to optimize the bandwidth used to backhaul the traffic from a cell site to the mobile central office for more efficient use of existing T1 and E1 lines.

Restrictions for Cisco Lossless Compression R1, ATM Cell Switching, and External BITS Clocking Source

Operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) cell insertion is not supported on cell-switched PVCs.

AIM-ATM and AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 modules support a maximum of four T1/E1s. This can consist of two incoming and two outgoing, or three incoming and one outgoing T1/E1s. An IMA group cannot be split between multiple AIMs.

Certain combinations of AIM modules can become inoperable when installed in a Cisco 3745. This problem only affects Cisco 3745 routers manufactured before June 11, 2003. See the following field notice for detailed information about this problem:

http://www-tac.cisco.com/Support_Library/field_alerts/fn25194.html

Voice activity detection (VAD) and echo cancellation are disabled when lossless compression is enabled.

Lossless compression R1 is supported for VoATM calls with AAL2 and subcell multiplexing. VoIP calls are not supported at this time.

ATM cell switching is limited to a maximum of 25 connections per AIM-ATM.

Do not configure more than 29 LLCC channels per NM-HDV module. Configuring more than 29 LLCC channels can cause unreliable operation.

J1 controller is not supported.

Traffic policing is not supported.

For Cisco 3660 routers with two NM-HDV modules installed, do not install the modules in the following slot combinations:

Slot 1 and Slot 3

Slot 2 and Slot 4

Slot 5 and Slot 6

Using these slot combinations can result in packet loss.

Information About Lossless Compression R1, ATM Cell Switching, and External BITS Clocking Source

The Lossless Compression R1, ATM Cell Switching, and External BITS Clocking Source features work together to groom and compress T1 and E1 traffic between cell sites and a mobile central office. These features require a Cisco 3660 or Cisco 3745 router to be installed at the base transceiver station (BTS). This cell site router performs ATM switching and compression of cell site traffic for transport to the base station controller (BSC). A Cisco MGX 8850 with AUSM and VISM-PR terminates the T1/E1 lines that carry lossless compression codec (LLCC) traffic, converting the traffic back to PCM before passing it to the BSC. Figure 1 shows a sample topology that makes use of the Lossless Compression R1, ATM Cell Switching, and External BITS Clocking Source features.

Figure 1 Lossless Compression R1, ATM Cell Switching, and External BITS Clocking Source Features

Lossless Compression Codec on NM-HDV

The Lossless Compression R1 feature introduces a new compression technique in DSP firmware and the VISM card— the lossless compression codec (LLCC). LLCC operates in a similar fashion to the existing clear channel codec: the decoded 64kbps PCM stream is a bit-exact replica of the PCM stream provided on the TDM side of the encoding DSP. However, rather than simply packetizing the PCM stream, the LLCC encoder applies a lossless data compression scheme. This results in a net reduction in the data transmission rate, yielding a reduction in the packet transmission rate.

ATM Cell Switching on AIM-ATM and AIM-ATM-VOICE-30

The Cisco ATM Cell Switching feature enables the router to perform cell switching between two ATM connections on AIM-ATM and AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 cards, giving the router the ability to receive ATM traffic from the BTS and backhaul it to the mobile central office.

BITS Clocking on the Cisco 3660 and Cisco 3745

BITS (Building Integrated Timing Supply) network clocking enables a Cisco 3660 or Cisco 3745 router to derive network timing from the central office. BITS must be configured on the cell site router to support this feature.

How to Configure Lossless Compression R1, ATM Cell Switching, and External BITS Clocking Source

The procedures for configuring the Lossless Compression R1, ATM Cell Switching, and External BITS Clocking Source features require the following tasks:

Configuring the Cell Site Router for BITS Clocking

Configuring ATM Cell Switching

Configuring the Lossless Compression Codec

Disabling Connection Admission Control

The instructions that follow refer to the sample configuration shown in Figure 2. With this configuration, the cell site router supports three E1 connections to the BTS. Compressed cellular traffic is transported to the BSC (by way of the Cisco MGX 8850) over the E1 1/0 and E1 1/1 interfaces. Additionally, BITS clocking is derived from E1 1/1.

Figure 2 Sample Configuration

Configuring the Cell Site Router for BITS Clocking

BITS clocking enables the router at a cell site to derive timing from the mobile central office. BITS clocking ensures that data flows to a single network clock source, preventing mismatches and data slips in traffic between the BTS and the BSC. The procedure that follows configures the AIM to receive BITS clocking from E1 1/1 controller.

Disabling Connection Admission Control

Connection admission control (CAC) is a set of actions taken by each ATM switch during connection setup to determine whether the requested QoS will violate the QoS guarantees for established connections. CAC reserves bandwidth for voice calls, however, the bandwidth required when LLCC is used is dynamic and usually less than what is generally reserved by CAC. Disabling CAC may help in better utilization of bandwidth when LLCC is used. The procedure that follows disables CAC.

Verifying Lossless Compression R1, ATM Cell Switching, and External BITS Clocking Source Configuration

This section provides a set of show commands you can use to verify the configuration of the Lossless Compression R1, ATM Cell Switching, and External BITS Clocking Source features. It includes the following commands:

show connection all

show voice dsp

show voice call port-id

show voice trunk supervisory summary

show interfaces

show connection all

The following example shows output from the show connection all command. In this example, Switched-Conn is a cell-switched connection established between PVC 10/110 and PVC 30/130, which are configured under ATM1/0 and ATM3/0 respectively.

Router# show connection all
ID    Name             Segment 1             Segment 2           State
========================================================================
3     V-100-700        E1 1/0(VOICE) 00      DSP 07/00/00        UP
4     V-120-700        E1 1/2(VOICE) 00      DSP 07/00/00        UP
5     Switched-Conn    ATM1/0 10/110         ATM3/0 30/130       UP

The show connection all command displays the state of Switched-Conn. If it is in the UP state, then it means the ATM cell switching connection is operational.

show voice dsp

The following example shows output from the show voice dsp command:

Router# show voice dsp
DSP  DSP             DSPWARE CURR  BOOT                         PAK  TX/RX
TYPE NUM CH CODEC    VERSION STATE STATE   RST AI VOICEPORT TS ABORT PACK COUNT
==== === == ======== ======= ===== ======= === == ========= == ===== ==========
C549 000 04 llcc     4.3.392 busy  idle         0 4/0:0     04     0 1752/1752

The show voice dsp command shows if the LLCC codec has been applied to the voice port. Additionally, the TX/RX COUNT indicates if packet exchange is occurring. If LLCC is operational, then TX/RX COUNT will display similar values.

show voice call port-id

The show voice call command gives detailed information about the lossless compression codec. The following example shows output from the show voice call command:


Note The show voice call command has a limitation that causes it to display invalid values. To ensure that accurate values are reported, invoke this command twice and look at the second output.


Router# show voice call 4/0:0
4/0:0 1
      vtsp level 0 state = S_CONNECTvpm level 1 state = S_TRUNKED
vpm level 0 state = S_UP

    overflow error count                        = 0
    decode error count                          = 0
    tx signalling frame count                   = 11
    rx signalling frame count                   = 10
    rx bad checksum frame count                 = 0
    rx good checksum frame count                = 2777

show voice trunk supervisory summary

The following example shows output from the show voice trunk supervisory summary command:

Router# show voice trunk supervisory summary
SLOW SCAN
