32.1013GPPPrinciples and high level requirementsRelease 17Telecommunication managementTS

Service Level Trace Management is a feature that allows a Network Operator to activate/deactivate from the Network Management system the tracing of a particular subscriber and the service that they are consuming within and across an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). Once activated the trace activity is reported back to the Network Management system. It is possible to request activation of a trace from different Network Elements including the UE (via the appropriate Element Management Functionality) depending on the operator’s requirements.

The activation/deactivation and reporting interface for Trace Management between the Network Management and Element Management Systems is specified in the Trace IRP.
