Base Station Controller ( BSC )

  **** The Base Station Controller are provides control of the Base Transceiver Station and manages radio resources and radio parameters. from a transmission point of view, the BSC also performs a concentration function if more radio traffic channels than terrestrial channels are connected to the MSC. A single BSC can control a large number of BTS. the exact number is a function of the BSC equipment and the configurations used.

The Base Station Controller provides such as:

1. Switching between the Um channels, and the A Interface channels.
2. Communication with the OMC & OSS.
3. Resource management
4. Database management
5. Radio measurement processing
6. Operations and maintenance functions with the BSS

BSC also incorporates the following transmission equipment such as:

1. The Base station interface equipment, which performs signaling and sub multiplexing on the Abis interface.
2. The transcoder sub multiplexer controller, which collects and processes transmission data. it also provides and operator to certain transmission function via local maintenance terminal.
