For the purposes of the present document, the following definitions apply. For definitions and not found here, please refer to 3GPP TS 32.101 [1], 3GPP TS 32.102 [2], 3GPP TS 28.622 [16] and 3GPP TS 32.600 [14].

Antenna: Within the present document an Antenna is the set of radiating elements involved in the transmission and reception of Radio Frequency energy to support the Uu interface of a UTRAN cell. See Annex A for more detail.

Association: See definition in TS 28.622 [16].

Managed Element (ME): See definition in TS 28.622 [16].

Managed Object (MO): See definition in TS 28.622 [16].

Management Information Model (MIM): See definition in TS 28.622 [16].

Network Resource Model (NRM): See definition in TS 28.622 [16].

Node B: A logical node responsible for radio transmission/reception in one or more cells to/from the User Equipment.
It terminates the Iub interface towards the RNC.

TMA: See TS 25.466 [19].

Tower Mounted Amplifier: See TS 25.466 [19].
