3.1 Definitions

For the purposes of the present document, the abbreviations given in 3GPP TR 21.905 [9] and the following apply. An abbreviation defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same abbreviation, if any, in 3GPP TR 21.905 [9].

Element Manager (EM): provides a package of end-user functions for management of a set of closely related types of Network Elements (NEs). These functions can be divided into two main categories:

– Element Management Functions for management of NEs on an individual basis. These are basically the same functions as supported by the corresponding local terminals.

– Sub-Network Management Functions that are related to a network model for a set of NEs constituting a clearly defined sub-network, which may include relations between the NEs. This model enables additional functions on the sub-network level (typically in the areas of network topology presentation, alarm correlation, service impact analysis and circuit provisioning).

IRP: See 3GPP TS 32.101 [1].

IRP Information Service: See 3GPP TS 32.101 [1].

IRP Solution Set: See 3GPP TS 32.101 [1].

Information Object Class (IOC): See 3GPP TS 28.622 [8] clause 3.1 Information Object Class (IOC).

Network Element (NE): is a discrete telecommunications entity, which can be, managed over a specific interface e.g. the RNC.

Network resource: See definition in TS 28.622 [8].
