Combined base transceiver station and base station controller

1. A system, comprising:

a combined base transceiver station (BTS) and base station controller (BSC) comprising:

a Main Control Processor (MCP) coupled to a plurality of selector distribution unit (SDU) channel element control (CEC) Processors (SCPs);

each of the plurality of SCPs comprising an SDU coupled to a CEC;

a radio call control (RCC) coupled to the CEC, wherein the MCP comprises the RCC; and

a main call control (MCC) coupled to the SDU and to the RCC;

wherein the MCC is configured to:

receive a mobile station (MS) origination message from the RCC, the MS operating in the system;

communicate with the SDU to allocate a selector resource;

and perform at least one of subscriber registration, call setup, call release and call handoff.

2. The system of claim 1 comprising an interoperability system (IOS) signaling control connection part (SCCP) in the MCP coupled to the MCC.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the IOS and the SCCP are combined.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the SCCP is adapted to communicate with a call agent.

5. The system of claim 1 comprising a packet control function (PCF) in the MCP coupled to the SDU.

6. The system of claim 5 comprising a first operation, administration, and maintenance (OA&M) module coupled to the PCF.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the first OA&M module is adapted to communicate with a basestation manager.

8. The system of claim 6 comprising a configuration management (CM) block in the OA&M module, the CM block coupled to the PCF and to the CEC.

9. The system of claim 8 comprising a transceiver module coupled to a second OA&M module.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the transceiver module is adapted to communicate with an IF chip, a transceiver, and a power amplifier.

11. The system of claim 5 comprising a call agent simulator (CA_SIM) in the MCP coupled to the IOS SCCP.

12. The system of claim 5 , wherein the PCF is adapted to communicate with a packet data serving node.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the SDU is adapted to communicate with a gateway.

14. A system, comprising:

a combined base transceiver station (BTS) and base station controller (BSC) comprising:

a first module including a control portion and a plurality of device portions;

wherein the control portion includes a radio call control (RCC) module coupled to a main call control (MCC) module;

wherein each of the device portions include a selector distribution unit (SDU) coupled to a channel element control (CEC) module and the MCC, the CEC coupled to the RCC; and

a second module, coupled to the first module;

wherein the MCC is configured to:

receive a mobile station (MS) origination message from the RCC, the MS operating in the system;

communicate with the SDU to allocate a selector resource;

and perform at least one of subscriber registration, call setup, call release and call handoff.

15. The system of claim 14 , comprising a third module, coupled to the first module and to the second module, including a redundant control portion.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first module, the second module, and the third module are at least one of: stackable; and coupled via a switch hub.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first module, the second module, and the third module include at least one of: a transceiver, a GPS receiver, and a power supply.

18. The system of claim 15 comprising a combiner adapted to combine a plurality of frequency segments from the first module, the second module, and/or the third module to a common transmission line or antenna.

19. The system of claim 15 comprising a power amplifier adapted to increase signal power from the first module, the second module, and/or the third module.
