2 Introduction to the Nokia MetroSite
EDGE Base Station
This chapter describes the base station system (BSS) and the Nokia MetroSite
EDGE Base Station generally.
2.1 Base station system
In general terms, base stations perform the radio function for the base station
system. A base transceiver station (such as a Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base
Station) is connected to a transmission node (such as a Nokia MetroHub
Transmission Node) or directly to the base station controller (BSC) via the Abis
interface and to the mobile stations (MS) via the Air interface (see Figure 1).
The BSC is further connected to the mobile switching centre (MSC) and to the
operational support system (OSS).
