The core technique of Next Generation Network (NGN)-Soft-Switch technology has been the main development trend of evolution of core network of various large mobile communication carriers by both effects of business requirement and Technology Pushing. Based on this background, Shanxi United Telecommunications Corporation actively introduces Soft-switch system based on WCDMA R4 Versions.In this paper, the key technologies, the Network structure and protocol of Soft-Switch System, the Communication market of China Unicom and changes in the competitive environment,the comparison of Soft-Switch System and Traditional Switch System on equipment capacity, power dissipation, service supporting ability, operation cost, Maintenance, and the previous network status of GSM of Shanxi Unicom are analyzed. We will analyze the design and construction of the Soft-Switch Network System Construction of Shanxi United Telecommunications Corporation in detail, also a preliminary discussion is made on the Maintenance and Management of Soft-Switch System.Combined with practical network capacity of Shanxi Unicom, we discuss the construction principles and projects of circuit domain, voice channel network and signaling network in core network. Then we particularly determine the construction projects of Taiyuan city in detail。In addition, the test result of the main network elements and network performance indicators are introduced. Good effects are gained on shortening the construction period, reducing investment, effectively utilizing original resources and Supplying Demand of Market in this construction. With Network Operation, the Maintenance Features of Soft-Switch Network is increasingly outstanding, that will put forward the more and more higher level requirement to current performance index, operative plan and assessment system. Shanxi Unicom must catch up with network development trend by practical operational situation, taking advantage of Soft-Switch really. |
