Overview of the Cisco 3825 Mobile Wireless
Edge Router
The Cisco 3825 Mobile Wireless Edge Router is a networking platform optimized for use in mobile
wireless networks; specifically designed to be used at the cell site edge as a part of a 2G, 3G or 4G Radio
Access Network
platform specializing in 2/2.5G Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) and 3G Universal
Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) RAN backhaul transport and optimization.
The Cisco 3825 router offers high performance at a low cost while meeting the critical requirements for
deployment in cell sites, including small size, high availability, and
DC input power flexibility.

A typical RAN is composed of thousands of Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs)/Node Bs, hundreds of
Base Station Controllers/Radio Network Controllers (BSCs/RNCs), and several Mobile Switching
Centers (MSCs). The BTSs/Node Bs and BSCs/RNCs are often separated by large geographic distances,
with the BTSs/Node Bs located in cell sites uniformly distributed throughout a region, and the BSCs,
RNCs, and MSCs located at suitably chosen central offices (COs) and/or Mobile Telephone Switching
Offices (MTSOs). The traffic generated by a BTS/Node B is transported to the corresponding BSC/RNC
across a network, referred to as the backhaul network, which is often a hub-and-spoke topology with
hundreds of BTSs/Node Bs connected to a given BSC/RNC by point-to-point time-division multiplexing
(TDM) trunks. These TDM trunks may be leased line T1/E1s or their logical equivalents, such as
microwave links or satellite channels. The interface between the BTS and BSC in GSM and Code

Introduction
Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems is called the Abis interface. The interface between the Node
B and RNC in a UMTS system is called the Iub interface (see
for sample configurations.
RAN-Optimization Implementation
In RAN-Optimization (RAN-O), the Cisco 3825 router extends IP connectivity to the cell site and BTS.
The router provides bandwidth-efficient IP transport of GSM and UMTS voice and data bearer traffic,
as well as maintenance, control, and signaling traffic, over the leased line backhaul network between the
BTS and leased line termination and aggregation node via compression (cRTP/cUDP) and packet
multiplexing (Multilink PPP).
Figure 1-1 shows an example of the placement of and connections for the Cisco 3825 router in RAN-O.

Standby
The BTS site consists of a pair of Cisco 3825 routers. The pair of routers provides an active router and
a standby router for redundancy. A failure of the active router causes the standby router to take over as
the active router for the BTS site.
Each pair of Cisco 3825 routers at the BTS site is identical in hardware configuration. The two routers
connect to each other through the Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interfaces. The individual backhaul links to a
Cisco
3825 router are cabled from a single T1/E1 termination block in the BTS, connecting to both the
active and standby routers by means of a Y cable. The redundancy design to control the active/standby
transitions of the router pair leverages Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) to control the relays on the
Cisco
2-port T1/E1-RAN interface card, Cisco product number VWIC-2T1/E1-RAN (for more
information, see Cisco 2-port T1/E1-RAN Installation Instructions) in each router to ensure that the relays
on the active router are closed while the relays on the standby router are open, thus avoiding double
termination of the T1 (or E1).

One solution that mobile wireless operators find of value is Cisco’s ability to optimize RAN backhaul
efficiency (see
Figure 1-2). For example, Cisco’s GSM Abis Optimization solution increases the T1/E1
bandwidth efficiency by as much as 50%. This means the current traffic loads can be carried using half
as many T1/E1 trunks as are presently used. This allows more voice and data calls to be carried over the
existing RAN backhaul network, eliminating the need for the operator to add expensive new T1/E1
trunks as traffic demands grow. It will also allow a number of existing trunks to be decommissioned,
putting an end to their recurring costs.
Cisco 3825 Mobile Wireless Edge Router Software Configuration Guide
OL-15667-03
Chapter 1 Overview of the Cisco 3825 Mobile Wireless Edge Router
Another equally important benefit is that substantial excess capacity is now available in the existing
RAN backhaul network. The operator can reallocate this recovered bandwidth to carry traffic from other
radios, such as UMTS Node Bs, GPRS, EDGE, 1xEV-DO, PWLANs, and other data overlays. This
capability reduces the deployment and operating costs for new technologies, since the operator avoids
the up-front and recurring costs of supplementing backhaul capacity. It also accelerates time to revenue
from deployments of new radio technologies since there is no need for the operator to wait for additional
microwave licenses or leased lines to be supplied.
Compliance with 3GPP2 and 3GPP R5 and R6 transport standards is another appealing aspect of Cisco’s
RAN-O solution. Cisco converts today’s CDMA transport networks into 3GPP2-compliant IP RAN
transport networks, and GSM and R4/R99 UMTS transport networks into R5/R6 IP RAN transport
networks now—and adds multi-radio backhaul compression as well. This means operators can enjoy the
benefits of IP transport in their CDMA, GSM, and R4/R99 UMTS RANs today.

Cisco GSM Abis Optimization over IP
The Cisco GSM Abis Optimization over IP technology improves T1/E1 bandwidth efficiency by 33% to
50%, corresponding to a GSM voice call capacity gain of 50-100% per T1/E1, depending on the nature
of the traffic on the interface.
In a GSM RAN, the interface between the BTS and BSC is a 3GPP reference interface called the Abis
interface. The physical trunk connecting a BTS and BSC is typically a T1 or E1 circuit, and carries 24
(T1) or 32 (E1) separate 64 kbps DS0 channels. One or two of these DS0 channels is used to carry control
and signaling traffic, while the remainder are used to carry bearer traffic—voice and data from mobile
OL-15667-03

Introduction
Chapter 1 Overview of the Cisco 3825 Mobile Wireless Edge Router
users. Each DS0 bearer channel carries up to four sub-multiplexed 16 kbps channels, termed sub-rate
DS0s. The voice and data bearer traffic is carried over the sub-rate DS0s in Transcoder and Rate Adaptor
Unit (TRAU) frames in accordance with 3GPP TS 08.60 v8.2.1, “In-band control of transcoders and rate
adaptors for Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) and full rate traffic channels.” There are several types of TRAU
frames: full-rate (FR) or enhanced full-rate (EFR) GSM vocoder frames; Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR)
vocoder frames; silent speech frames; and OAM frames. When a sub-rate DS0 is assigned to a call,
TRAU frames are generated in accordance with 3GPP TS 08.60 v8.2.1, “In-band control of transcoders and
rate adaptors for EFR and full rate traffic channels.” When a sub-rate DS0 is idle, that is, not assigned to a
call, a repeating idle pattern is transmitted in accordance with 3GPP TS 08.54 v8.0.1, “Base Station
Controller-Base Transceiver Station (BSC-BTS) interface; Layer 1 structure of physical circuits.”
The transcoder and rate adaptation control function that specifies the TRAU frames provides several
opportunities to optimize the Abis interface, and thus optimize the backhaul bandwidth efficiency. For
example, when Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) is employed over the air interface, the TRAU frames
that are transported on the Abis interface contain standardized redundant bit patterns, known as idle
(silent) speech frames (FR and EFR) or “no data” frames (AMR), whenever a voice user is silent
(typically 40-60% of the time). As another example, bearer channels that are not assigned to calls each
carry known idle bit patterns on the Abis interface as mentioned previously. Thus, even though no radio
transmissions are made during silent and idle periods, redundant information is nevertheless transported
across the backhaul network thereby unnecessarily consuming precious bandwidth.
Cisco Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3)
PWE3 is a mechanism that emulates the essential attributes of a service, such as ATM or EI/T1 (see
Figure 1-3). The required functions of pseudowires (PWs) include encapsulating service-specific Packet
Data Units (PDUs) arriving at an ingress port and carrying them across a path or tunnel, managing their
timing and order, and any other operations required to emulate the behavior and characteristics of the
service as efficiently as possible.
PW is perceived as an unshared link or circuit of the chosen service. However, there may be deficiencies
that impede some applications from being carried on a PW. These limitations should be fully described
in the appropriate service-specific documents and applicability statements.
Cisco supports standards-based PWE3 as defined by:
•Structure-agnostic TDM over Packet (SAToP), page 1-16
•Structure-aware TDM CESoPSN, page 1-16
•Transportation of ATM Service via MPLS/IP (PWE3/ATM), page 1-17
•Transportation of ATM Service via L2TPv3, page 1-20
A PW is a connection between two provider edge (PE) devices, which connects two attachment circuits
(ACs). An AC can be an ATM virtual path identifier/virtual channel identifier (VPI/VCI) or an T1/E1
link.

Cisco Iub Optimization over IP
The Cisco Iub Optimization over IP technology for R4/R99 (ATM) UMTS RANs improves bandwidth
efficiency by as much as 15 to 40%, corresponding to a UMTS voice call capacity gain of 18 to 67%,
depending on the type of Iub header and ATM Adaptation Layer traffic sub-cell multiplexing
performance. For R5/R6 IP UMTS RANs, Cisco provides compression and low-overhead encryption.
Intelligent Cell Site IP Services
Cisco’s RAN-O solutions also open up the possibility to deliver new profit-enhancing services. This is
achieved through the rich set of IP networking features supported in Cisco IOS Software that are now
extended to the cell site (see
Cell Site Points-of-Presence (POPs)
Since many cell sites are located in and around downtown areas, hotels, airports, and convention centers,
they make attractive sites for co-locating public wireless LAN (PWLAN) access points and other
wireless data overlays. Many of these wireless data radios are IP-based. IP networking features, like
Mobile IP, VoIP, IP Multicast, Virtual Private Network (VPN), and content caching, enable delivery of
new revenue-generating services over these radios. Cisco also provides a wide range of low-latency
IP-based quality of service (QoS) and traffic shaping models to allow flexible mixing of multiple traffic
types across the same backhaul network. Thus, the cell site becomes a physical point of presence or POP
from which to offer hotspot services, or voice and wired Internet service provider (ISP) services to
nearby enterprises and residences. The corresponding traffic “rides for free” on the spare backhaul
bandwidth made available by Cisco’s Abis and Iub Optimization solutions.

These relays allow “Y” cabling for router redundancy where the T1/E1 link is not redundant and default
to open. The relays are controlled by HSRP/redundancy protocol between the two routers connected to
the same T1/E1.
NoteIf you choose to use the Cisco 3825 router in a non-redundant configuration, you must close the relays
on the card using the standalone subcommand. Also, redundancy parameters are processed when the
router is booted up. These parameters cannot be changed “on the fly.”
MWR 1941-DC-A router and Cisco 3825 router includes relays that activate the T1/E1 ports.
HSRP
OL-15667-03
Cisco’s HSRP is used to control which router is active and which is standby. HSRP uses a priority
scheme to determine which HSRP-configured router is to be the default active router. Priority is
determined first by the configured priority value, then by the IP address. In each case, a higher value is
of greater priority.

New Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(16)MR2
With Cisco IOS Release 12.4(16)MR2, the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router supports the following
feature:
•Keyword ignore-vpi-vci Added to xconnect Command, page 1-13
Keyword ignore-vpi-vci Added to xconnect Command
With the ignore-vpi-vci keyword configured, the MWR ignores the VPI/VCI value in the PW packet and
does a blind rewrite with the local configured AC-side PVC's VPI/VCI value. This applies only when
the xconnect command is configured under the PVC, which is the N:1 with N=1 special case. It does not
apply when the xconnect command is configured under the subinterface, which supports N>1.
The xconnect command with keyword ignore-vpi-vci results in the PVC mapping being done in a
cooperative way if the MWR works the same way as the receiving router. Without this command, the
MWR checks the VPI/VCI value inside PW packet for matches against the local configured PVC or
PVC-mapping. With the ignore-vpi-vci keyword configured, the MWR ignores the VPI/VCI header
inside the received PW packet and does a blind rewrite with the local configured AC-side PVC's
VPI/VCI value.

Emulation of TDM Circuit via MPLS/IP (PWE3/TDM)
PWE3 is a mechanism that emulates the essential attributes of a T1/E1 line over a packet-switched
network (PSN). This evolutionary technology allows you to migrate all packet networks from legacy
TDM networks, yet provides transport for legacy applications. PWE3/TDM emulates T1/E1
unstructured and structured lines, including NxDS0 circuits over a Multiprotocol Label Switching
(MPLS) infrastructure.
Configuration for provisioning and creating the PW is done through the existing xconnect interface.
A new command cem-group has been added to this feature to create a circuit emulation (CEM) channel
from one or more time slots of T1/E1.
The group-number keyword identifies the group number used for this channel.
1-14
•For T1 controller, the range is 0-23. (24 cem-groups id)
•For E1 controller, the range is 0-30. (30 cem-groups id)
Use the unframed keyword to specify that a single CEM channel is being created, including all time slots
with no framing structure defined. If time slots are defined, the PWE3 circuit is circuit emulation service
over packet-switched network (CESoPSN).
Cisco 3825 Mobile Wireless Edge Router Software Configuration Guide
OL-15667-03
Chapter 1 Overview of the Cisco 3825 Mobile Wireless Edge Router
Use the time slots keyword and the timeslot-range argument to specify the time slots to be included in
the CEM channel. The list of time slots may include commas and hyphens with no spaces between the
numbers, commas, and hyphens.
The following example illustrates the use of the cem-group command:
SATOP
controller el 0/0/0
cem-group 0 unframed
int cem 0/0/0
cem 0
xconnect 10.10.10.10 200 encap mpls

New Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(16)MR1
A new command sample-rate has been added to this feature to specify in milliseconds the rate that
hardware samples data on the attached circuit.
The default is 1 ms. The sample-rate command translates into the payload-size that is sent over the
circuit.
•32-time slots at 1 ms = 256-bytes (32-time slots * 8-bytes/timeslot/ms)
•24-time slots at 2 ms = 384-bytes (24-time slots * 16-bytes/timeslot/ms)
•10-time slots at 1 ms = 80-bytes (10-time slots * 8-bytes/timeslot/ms)
The following example illustrates the use of the sample-rate command:
interface CEM0/0/0
no ip address
cem 0
sample-rate 2
xconnect 10.10.10.10 200 encapsulation mpls
A new command dejitter-buffer has been added to this feature to specify the size of the dejitter-buffer
used to compensate for the network jitter.
•Use the size argument to specify the size of the buffer in milliseconds.
•Size can vary from 4 - 500 ms; default is 4 ms.
The following example illustrates the use of the dejitter-buffer command:
interface CEM0/0/0
no ip address
cem 0
dejitter-buffer 10

OL-15667-03
A new command idle-pattern has been added to this feature to specify the data pattern transmitted on
the T1/E1 when missing packets are detected on the PWE3 circuit.
The default idle-pattern command is 0xFF.

A new command shutdown has been added to this feature to administratively shut down the CEM
channel.
Default: cem channel is created in a “no shut” state.
The following example illustrates the use of the shutdown command:
interface CEM0/0/0
no ip address
cem 0
shutdown
xconnect 10.10.10.10 200 encapsulation mpls
A new command class cem has been added to this feature to allow CEM interface parameters to be
configured in a class and applied to CEM interfaces together. This command works in the same manner
for CEM interfaces as the pseudowire-class command does for xconnect.

Structure-agnostic TDM over Packet (SAToP)
SAToP encapsulates TDM bit-streams (T1, E1, T3, E3) as PWs over PSNs. It disregards any structure
that may be imposed on streams, in particular the structure imposed by the standard TDM framing.
The protocol used for emulation of these services does not depend on the method in which attachment
circuits are delivered to the PEs. For example, a T1 attachment circuit is treated in the same way
regardless of whether it is delivered to the PE on copper, multiplexed in a T3 circuit, mapped into a
virtual tributary of a SONET/SDH circuit, or carried over an ATM network using unstructured ATM
circuit emulation service (CES) [ATM-CES]. Termination of any specific “carrier layers” used between
the PE and CEM is performed by an appropriate network service provider (NSP).
Structure-aware TDM CESoPSN
1-16
CESoPSN encapsulates structured (NxDS0) TDM signals as PWs over PSNs. It complements similar
work for structure-agnostic emulation of TDM bit-streams, such as PWE3-SAToP.
Emulation of NxDS0 circuits saves PSN bandwidth and supports DS0-level grooming and distributed
cross-connect applications. It also enhances resilience of CE devices to the effects of loss of packets in
the PSN.

Transportation of ATM Service via MPLS/IP (PWE3/ATM)
An ATM PW is used to carry ATM cells over an MPLS network. It is an evolutionary technology that
allows you to migrate all packet networks from legacy ATM networks, yet provides transport for legacy
applications.
Configuration for provisioning and creating the PW is done through the existing xconnect command.
The following PW modes are supported in this release:
•Transparent Cell Transport Service/ATM Port Mode, page 1-17
•ATM N-to-One VCC Cell Mode, page 1-17
•ATM AAL5 CPCS-SDU Mode, page 1-18
•ATM VCC Cell Relay Service, page 1-20
The following examples illustrates how different modes of PWs are configured.
Transparent Cell Transport Service/ATM Port Mode
ATM port mode maps the entire ATM interface to a PW. Use the xconnnect command under the interface
mode to configure a port mode PW.
ATM N:1 VCC cell relay mode maps one or more permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) to one PW. There
are two ways to configure N:1 VCC in cell relay mode:
1. When only one PVC needs to be mapped to a PW, configure the xconnect command under the PVC
mode to configure a N:1 VCC cell relay mode PW.
A sample configuration is written as follows:
interface ATM0/0/1

Cell Packing
Cell packing or concatenation supports Port, N:1 VCC cell, or 1:1 VCC cell mode. Cell packing can be
configured with a parameter of a maximum number of cells and a parameter of cell packing timer.
“atm mcpt-timers [timer1] [timer2] [timer3]” can be used under the interface mode to configure three
cell packing timer values. Timer values are in microseconds, and the granularity is 1,000 microseconds,
namely 1 millisecond. The timer value is referenced by the “atm cell-packing …” and “cell-packing
…” commands.
The sample below configures cell packing for ATM port modes. It specifies a maximum number of cells
as 28 and a cell packing timer as 3,000 microseconds.
The sample below configures cell packing for the N:1 VCC cell relay mode PW. It specifies a maximum
number of cells as 20 and a cell packing timer as 4,000 microseconds.

Transportation of ATM Service via L2TPv3
This service transports ATM services over IP networks. It allows you to migrate all PSNs from ATM
legacy networks while still providing ATM legacy services.
The following PW modes are supported in this release:
•ATM Port Cell Relay Service, page 1-20
•ATM VCC Cell Relay Service, page 1-20
•ATM AAL5-SDU Mode, page 1-21
Configuring Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol version 3 (L2TPv3)-based PWs is very similar to configuring
MPLS-based PWs, except that a pseudowire-class command is required to be configured for
L2TPv3-based PWs.
