Management of QoE measurement collection is a feature that allows a network operator to activate/deactivate from the network management system the collection of QoE information (DASH or MTSI) from applications that are consumed in the UE. When the application has recorded QoE information, it is sent to a specified destination. It is possible to request activation of QMC from an specified area in the network.

The activation/deactivation and reporting interface for the QMC between the network management and element management systems is specified in the Management of Quality of Experience (QoE) measurement collection IRP.

Annex A (normative):
3GPP Management-application-layer-protocols

The valid Management-application-layer-protocols for 3GPP are:

CORBA IIOP (see references [8] and [52]);
NETCONF (see reference [118]);
SNMP (see reference [6]);
SOAP (see references [108] and [109]).

The valid Management-application-layer-protocols for bulk & file transfer are:

– FTAM (see references [13] – [19]);

– ftp (see reference [4]);

– tftp (see reference [5]);

– sftp (secure ftp).

NOTE: sftp is an implementation of ftp that uses SSL (SSH-1 or SSH-2 transport protocol) to provide a secure ftp. There are many commercial and open source implementations available. An IETF Secure Shell working group exists, whose goal is “to update and standardize the popular SSH protocol”. Currently no IETF RFCs are available, however a number of IETF drafts can be found at the working groups’ home web site: http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/secsh-charter.html.

The valid Management-application-layer-protocol for Home NodeB Management Interface Type 1 and Home eNodeB Management Interface Type 1 is:

– TR-069 (see reference [115])

The valid Management-application-layer-protocols for bulk & file transfer for Home NodeB Management Interface Type 1 and Home eNodeB Management Interface Type 1 are defined in TR-069 [115].

Annex B (normative):
3GPP management network layer protocols

The valid network layer protocols for the management of 3GPP are:

– IP (see reference [48];

– X.25 (see reference [22]).

NOTE 1: IP is the recommended networking protocol.

NOTE 2: Normative references relating to ISO Transport over TCP-IP are [46] and [47] and ISO Transport over X.25 are [43] ‑ [45].

Annex C (normative):
3GPP management IRP Solution Sets

The valid IRP Solution Sets for the management of 3GPP on the Itf-N and Itf-P2P interfaces are:

– CORBA (IDL);

– SOAP (WSDL).

The SOAP Solution Set is based on definitions set forth in WS-I Basic Profile 1.1 [116], and consisting of:

– WSDL 1.1 [117];

– SOAP 1.1 [108].

IRPAgents may support only one Solution Set. IRPManagers shall support all Solutions Sets that are supported by IRPAgents they communicate with.

Annex D (informative):
