The present document establishes and defines the management principles and high-level requirements for the management of PLMNs.
In particular, the present document identifies the requirements for:
- the upper level of a management system;
- the reference model, showing the elements the management system interacts with;
- the network operator processes needed to run, operate and maintain a network;
- the functional architecture of the management system;
- the principles to be applied to management interfaces.

3 Definitions and abbreviations p. 10
3.1 Definitions p. 10
For the purposes of the present document, the following definitions apply:
Domain Manager (DM):
provides element management functions and domain management functions for a sub-network. Inter-working domain managers provide multi vendor and multi technology network management functions.
Element Manager (EM):
provides a package of end-user functions for management of a set of closely related types of network elements. These functions can be divided into two main categories: Element Management Functions and Sub-Network Management Functions.
Element Management functions:
for management of network elements on an individual basis. These are basically the same functions as supported by the corresponding local terminals.
Enterprise Systems:
Information Systems that are used in the telecommunication organisation but are not directly or essentially related to the telecommunications aspects (Call Centre's, Fraud Detection and Prevention Systems, Invoicing etc).
Information Service (IS):
Defined in TS 32.150.
Integration Reference Point (IRP):
Defined in TS 32.150.
Managed Object:
Defined in TS 32.150.
Management Infrastructure:
the collection of systems (computers and telecommunications) a PLMN Organisation has in order to manage its network.
Network Element (NE):
a discrete telecommunications entity, which can be managed over a specific interface, e.g. the RNC.
Network Manager (NM):
provides a package of end-user functions with the responsibility for the management of a network, mainly as supported by the EM(s) but it may also involve direct access to the Network Elements. All communication with the network is based on open and well-standardized interfaces supporting management of multi-vendor and multi-technology Network Elements.
NML Service (NMLS):
It is a NM layer logical entity which is separated from the functionality of the NM. The NMLS is a generic representation of a certain kind of function which has a standardized interface to the NM. The specific functionality on the interface depends on the kind of function.
Network Resource Model (NRM):
Defined in TS 32.150.
Operations System (OS):
a generic management system, independent of its location level within the management hierarchy.
Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN):
see TR 21.905.
PLMN Organisation:
legal entity that is involved in the management of a telecommunications network providing mobile cellular services.
Service:
see TR 21.905.
Service Level Tracing:
see OMA Service Provider Environment Requirements, OMA-RD-OSPE-V1_0-20050614-C [106].
Solution Set (SS):
Defined in TS 32.150.
Sub-Network management functions:
functions related to a network model for a set of Network Elements constituting a clearly defined sub-network, which may include relations between the Network Elements. 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).
