Background

The main important future O&M Requirements are specified and defined in the NGMN Top OPE Recommendations. Those requirements will need further enhancement with more details for guiding towards well standardised interfaces and interworking solutions throughout O&M/OSS. Resolving misalignments and open questions in the standardisation of the area needs immediate actions already in the short term.


Scope & Objectives

The scope and objective of the project Next Generation Converged Operations Requirements

 

  • Provide further enhancements (with more details) to the existing NGMN Top OPE Recommendations in order to give guiding towards well standardized interfaces and interworking solutions throughout O&M/OSS.
  • Resolve misalignments and open questions in the standardization of the O&M/OSS area. There is the immediate need to give guidance to SDOs and Industry bodies (e.g. 3GPP or TMF) in order to prioritize the work, i.e. to develop the solutions for most important requirements first and specify the recommendations for the best solutions.
  • Define converged O&M requirements since current NGMN Top OPE Requirements are mainly dealing with wireless requirements.

Main Deliverables

Main deliverables of the project Next Generation Converged Operations Requirements (P-NGCOR) are/will be:

 

  • Sub-task Fault Management (Lead: Vodafone): Delivery of the OSS Requirements for FM on the Northbound Interface standard
  • Sub-task OPE Converged Recommendation for converged networks (Lead: France Telecom): Identification of possible key domains for harmonization. Definition of OSS requirements for the harmonized domains.
  • Sub-task Operator Governance and tooling requirements for converged aligned management interface specifications (Lead: Deutsche Telekom): Recommendation for management interface and data model requirements.
  • Sub-task Delivery of OSS Requirements for inventory management (Lead: TeliaSonera): Definition of inventory requirements, delivery of a proposed model, use case specification and installation.
