5.5.1 General description
NOTE: This subclause is intended as illustration and baseline for CT1’s analysis. It does not mandate anything for RAN groups’ work; in case of conflict between this and RAN workgroups’ description the latter takes precedence. Power adaptation of capacity enhancing cells can be utilized for energy saving in the case of overlaid cell coverage, as shown in figure 5.5.1-1. Here a case is shown where the target cell remains in operation, but with reduced power, thus reduced coverage; another case could be if the power for the target cell is reduced to a minimum, so that subsequently it can be switched off without any further impact on UEs (as they then will have re-selected other cells). Obviously the process can be performed slowly enough not to create a similar issue as described in subclause 5.1.5. Figure 5.5.1-1: Power adaption for capacity enhancing cells in 3GPP macro network, due to energy saving (left: normal mode, right: energy saving mode) Power adaptation of cells allows an overall power saving even in the case of non-overlaid cell coverage. This use case is described in more detail in annex A of 3GPP TS 32.551 [6], and the adaptation process is depicted in figure 5.5.1-2. Figure 5.5.1-2: Power adaption for non-overlaid cells in 3GPP macro network, due to energy saving of one cell (left: normal mode, right: energy saving mode) Again, target cells for energy saving decrease their power until their coverage has become sufficiently small, so that subsequently they can be switched off. Neighbouring cells correspondingly increase their power and coverage and thus fill the area.

5.5.2 Key issue: Coverage boundaries
NOTE 1: This subclause does not mandate anything for RAN groups’ work; in case of conflict between this and RAN workgroups’ description the latter takes precedence. Although the principle of power adaptation of macro cells as described in subclause 5.5.1 avoids coverage holes in the (overall, outdoor) macro cell coverage itself, there is no co-operation with non-3GPP accesses. It thus seems unlikely that it can avoid additional dynamics of the coverage boundaries on the smaller scale e.g. towards indoor areas. Especially for these areas alternatives, e.g. non-3GPP accesses, are foreseen. Editor's note: details of coverage dynamics with power adaptation are out of scope here and should be characterized by RAN groups. If the movement of macro cell coverage boundary, due to power adaptation of a macro cell for energy saving purpose, is such that it reduces the overlap with the indoor radio access, it potentially forces some/more UEs to use the alternative radio access (by inter-RAT handovers). Figure 5.5.2-1 illustrates the principle of this possible change in coverage boundaries due to power adaptation. (Note that in the worst case, if the coverage overlap is totally eliminated, it could lead to lack of service for UEs; this could happen if the non-3GPP access dimensioning is done for the macro cell configuration without energy saving.) Figure 5.5.2-1: Illustration of coverage boundaries between macro and indoor coverage with and without power adaptation of macro cells NOTE 2: For some UEs a reduced overlap of coverage can also have a positive side-effect (reduced toggling between accesses). The above described effect from UE to network signalling per single power adaptation action is expected to be small, due to the limited amount of affected UEs and spreading out over time. However, if aggregation occurs over a larger area of the network within a short time, the issue like described in subclause 5.6.1 "Key issue: Increased ANDSF load" will arise. Additionally (independent of aggregation), for I-WLAN as the chosen alternative access, an analogous effect as described in subclause 5.3.2 "Key issue: Latency associated with WLAN access network re-selection after switch-off (WLAN 3GPP IP access)" will apply for affected UEs. NOTE 3: The combination of switch off of macro cell and subsequent (forced) WLAN access network selection has not been captured as a separate scenario, due to the assumption that any energy saving mechanism in 3GPP access will avoid coverage holes.

5.6 Common issues
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
5.6.1 Key issue: Increased ANDSF load
ANDSF can be interrogated by a UE for delivery of access network discovery information for non-3GPP accesses at any time after a secure connection has been set up between these two entities. The triggers for such queries are not specified. There are potential relations between switch-off of RATs and UE-ANDSF communication, which could act as triggers for ANDSF interrogation: 1) Update of location information due to switch-off of radio equipment for inter-RAT energy saving: If a RAT is no longer visible to a UE due to switch-off (e.g. E-UTRAN switched off), any previously delivered location information associated with this RAT parameter delivered to the ANDSF is no longer useful. Consequently, the UE would most likely try to update ANDSF; although this is implementation specific behaviour, it is a reasonable and plausible one. For switch-on of a RAT a similar argument holds. 2) Refresh of ANDSF information, due to UE's pull policy: The UE could always want to have best options for its decision about usage of access networks; if a RAT is switched off and was before deemed a suitable candidate (e.g. for a particular type of applications), the UE is left with fewer alternatives and could want to have reconsidered this fact by ANDSF (again, this is implementation specific, but likely). If a RAT, previously switched off and thus not visible to the UE, is switched on and the UE detects it newly in radio scanning, the UE could expect that previously delivered access network discovery information is outdated and could equally try to refresh this data. NOTE 1: How the UE infers that a RAT is switched off is implementation dependent. NOTE 2: As stated in 3GPP TS 24.302 [7], mechanisms to limit the frequency of queries transmission from the UE to the ANDSF are implementation dependant. Both cases listed above seem uncritical for switch-off/on of single cells, but can become critical if many cells are switched off/on nearly at the same time. Due to the centralized nature of ANDSF this mass effect can aggregate over large areas.

5.6.2 Key issue: Signalling overload for multi-access and flow mobility
A UE can initiate, via the maintained access network, the removal of an access network from a PDN connection, after it has detected the loss of the associated radio coverage (see figure 5.5-1 of 3GPP TS 23.261 [17]). This procedure is started by a DSMIPv6 Binding Update message sent from the UE to the PDN GW/Home Agent and leads to subsequent further steps (Binding Acknowledgement, release of resources including security association). If the switch-off, i.e. loss of an access network, happens in a large area at the same time, there is the danger that many UEs perform the DSMIPv6 update signalling within a short time. This can potentially lead to overload and delay in the control plane functionality of the PDN GW/Home Agent. NOTE: When a radio access is switched off, IP packets in the user plane being routed via the corresponding interface will likely be lost. In the opposite direction of switching (radio access is switched on again), the issue also exists in principle but seems less critical, because in this case UEs likely will show larger variance with respect to the latency regarding flow redistribution .The difference stems from the fact that UEs are not forced to act immediately in order to receive continuous service for all IP flows.

5.7.1 Potential interaction between machine type communication and energy saving
Some type of machine type communication, e.g. reading out meter/sensor values or stock lists, is flexible with regards to the transaction time and is therefore thought to be suitable for handling in off-peak, especially night, hours. But this is also exactly the target time window for energy saving; therefore potential interactions between these two features need to be considered. In case of competing targets this needs to be resolved by intelligent configuration and use of the corresponding mechanisms. Especially for support of machine type communication (but not limited to it) some extensions to NAS signalling procedures are defined in 3GPP TS 24.008 [21] and 3GPP TS 24.301 [12], as well as NAS protocol related configuration parameters defined in 3GPP TS 24.368 [20]. They can influence UE to core network signalling in a way relevant to energy saving, e.g. - use of MM and SM backoff timers; and - increase of periodic registration (LAU/RAU/TAU) timers. Table 5.7.1-1 collects and analyzes potential interactions on NAS signalling level between these features in more detail. Table 5.7.1-1: Potential interactions between (a) extensions to NAS signalling procedures and NAS protocol configuration parameters and (b) energy saving Mechanism (reference) Description NAS signalling aspect relevant for this study Comment MM and SM backoff timers (see 3GPP TR 23.888 [8], subclause 6.22) Under high load conditions, some MM and SM requests (Attach, PDP/PDN Activation, Service Request, …) might be rejected, in which case the request is repeated at a later time. 1) An attach to the remaining active RAT (due to inter-RAT energy saving) could fall into this handling and experience delay. Only relevant for devices with multiple radio interfaces. 2) Peaks in NAS signalling become spread out over time; as a consequence, the net time window for energy saving could become smaller. Relevant if signalling peaks are scheduled close to the intended target time for energy saving. It is assumed that the time window for energy saving is determined (also) based on signalling traffic. Optimized periodic registration timer (see 3GPP TR 23.888 [8], subclause 6.20) Possibility of longer periodic registration timers (defined locally at MME/SGSN or by subscription), so that the amount of registration update signalling is minimized. 1) Long enough periodic registration timer values, and their reset close enough to start of energy saving time window could avoid signalling traffic within this time. Can allow a peaceful coexistence of both features, but requires careful, coordinated configuration. 2) Location registrations induced by energy saving counteract the original optimization principle. An additional aspect to be considered is that a wide range of devices for the use cases described above is expected to be very price sensitive, thus they will likely support only one radio interface; this reduces the options for energy saving (no inter-RAT energy saving possible).

6 Potential optimizations and enhancements in procedures
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6

6.1 Solution "Optimized configuration of tracking areas and TAI lists"
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.1.1 Description
This solution addresses key issues "Tracking Area Update signalling resulting from switch-off/on of macro cells" described in subclause 5.1.5 and "Idle mode UEs with emergency bearer services" as described in subclause 5.1.7. The solution consists in overall configuration 1) of TAs in the network; or 2) TAI lists to be assigned to UEs, in such a way that cells targeted for switch off are preferably avoided on boundaries of TAs or boundaries of the areas defined by TAI lists, respectively. The first variant means static configuration, while the second one allows for more dynamic handling (by MME). NOTE 1: Solution variant 1) can be extrapolated in a straightforward manner to LA and RA configurations. Solution variant 2) can be applied only to TAs/E-UTRAN. NOTE 2: Even if the TA/TAI list configuration fulfills the above criterion only partially, this reduces the severity of the related issues proportionally.

6.1.2 Benefits
No standardization effort is required for this solution.
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.1.3 Limitations
No full flexibility is possible, e.g. for deployment of capacity enhancing cells under changing conditions. The effort for guaranteeing the optimized configuration increases with the number of affected cells and thus can become large if energy saving is applied massively (e.g. network wide).

6.2 Solution "Adding time dependence to configuration settings in MOs"
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.2.1 Description
This solution addresses key issue "Cross layer aspects” as described in subsection 5.1.6, in particular for inter-RAT energy saving. The solution consists in adding time parameters to the following configuration parameters in OMA DM MOs, related to voice calls and multimedia sessions and defined in 3GPP TS 24.167 [10] and 3GPP TS 24.216 [11]: 3GPP TS 24.167: Voice_Domain_Preference_E_UTRAN, Voice_Domain_Preference_UTRAN. 3GPP TS 24.216: Preferred_domain The time information is to be taken into account by UEs when initiating communication, in order to avoid the need for (possibly synchronized) domain transfer at the switch-off time of a RAT. As an example, if E-UTRAN is to be switched off at 24:00 h, the voice domain preference could be set to "CS Voice only" for a time window which starts sufficiently long before the target time for switch-off, e.g. to 23:40 h. The safety margin (here 20 minutes) should be chosen based on average call/session durations, so that most of the calls/sessions can be expected to end before the target switch-off time. This is illustrated in figure 6.2.1-1. NOTE: Introducing time dependence to MOs does not imply that MO data has to be updated more often than before or close to points in time where the settings change. Figure 6.2.1-1: Example behaviour of UEs with/without time dependent operator preferences for voice domain selection Some configuration settings currently do not differentiate between RATs, but only between CS and PS domains, and so the control per RAT is not directly possible. However, a preference for CS implicitly excludes E-UTRAN. Additionally, these configuration settings could be made fully RAT specific.
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.2.2 Benefits
The solution reduces the amount of signalling for domain transfer (which is also time critical) both for the network and affected UEs, if these need to originate communication just before a RAT is switched off for the purpose of inter-RAT energy saving. Also, a potential but unnecessary deterioration of service experience can be avoided in a majority of cases.
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.2.3 Limitations
These operator preferences are specific for selected services (voice calls and multimedia sessions). These settings are currently not per PLMN; thus either a differentiation per PLMN has to be introduced, or the described time dependence is to be limited to the HPLMN. This solutions requires changes in UEs, and therefore the benefits do not apply for legacy UEs. No full traffic steering is achievable with preferences only. A certain fraction of calls with longer duration than the time margin configured before switch-off of the RAT will occur; for these the above mentioned benefit does not apply.

6.2.4 Impacts on 3GPP Specifications
Additions in 3GPP TS 24.167 [10] and 3GPP TS 24.216 [11], and enhancements in specifications of corresponding procedures (3GPP TS 24.301 [12] and 3GPP TS 24.237 [13]).

6.3 Solution "Dynamic radio access network sharing"
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.3.1 Description
This solution addresses all key issues listed in subclause 5.1. Network Sharing with a Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN), as defined in 3GPP TS 23.251 [14], is an established means to leverage reduced operator's expense for radio access infrastructure. Even though currently it is assumed to be firmly and permanently configured, it can also be used in a more dynamical form, i.e. the radio access can be shared between two or several operators only during off-peak hours for the purpose of energy saving. To this end, no normative modifications are required in 3GPP specifications. In particular, no impacts on UE functionality are foreseen, but it needs to be recognized that the solution works more efficiently for network sharing supporting UEs (see below). The solution scheme is shown in figure 6.3.1-1 for the example of two operators switching off their RANs and also sharing them on alternate days. Consequently they gain alternately the complete saving of energy of radio nodes for the switch off period. In more detail, in a period when the RAN of PLMN A is switched off, the configuration of PLMN B is changed to enable RAN sharing with PLMN A; after the RAN of PLMN A has been switched on again, the configuration of .PLMN B is changed back to normal, to avoid the RAN sharing. As the switch-off of the RAN and the configuration change cannot be assumed to be perfectly synchronized, a small time safety margin needs to be applied. Figure 6.3.1-1: Dynamic network sharing scheme for energy saving (two operators) According to TS 23.251 [14], during the time of sharing, radio nodes broadcast PLMN information for both PLMNs. Subsequently the behaviour differs for supporting and non-supporting UEs: - supporting UEs (see subclause 7.1.3 in 3GPP TS 23.251 [14]): they are able to decode the multiple PLMN information in the system broadcast information and select the PLMN on their own. The RPLMN should again be broadcast in the shared state, so no additional PLMN selection is triggered. - non-supporting UEs (see subclause 7.1.4 in 3GPP TS 23.251 [14]): these are not able to decode the multiple PLMN information and consequently cannot control network selection. Instead, the RAN and core network perform this task by initial routing and potential re-direction. The impact on NAS signalling is that for these UEs additional registration updates and Identity Request/Response and Authentication dialogues can result.
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.3.2 Benefits
This solution allows to save the energy consumption of the RAN of at least one operator completely during off-peak time.
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.3.3 Limitations
This solution requires tight coordination between participating operators. National roaming (at least for non-supporting UEs during sharing period) must be allowed, and scheduling of network sharing for one PLMN must always match correctly the switch off times of the other PLMN(s). The additional NAS signalling for non-supporting UEs has to be taken into account properly; e.g. it could be necessary to spread out the switch-off time sufficiently over time and areas. The dynamic change of network configuration related to RAN sharing could require enhancements of current OAM procedures and data. NOTE: the OAM aspects need to be considered by SA5 WG.
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.3.4 Impacts on 3GPP Specifications
No impacts of normative character are needed. It could be worth to include clarifications for this use case, e.g. in 3GPP TS 23.401 [15].

6.4 Solution "Network based handling for multi-access and flow mobility"
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.4.1 Description
This solution addresses the key issue "Signalling overload for multi access and flow mobility" as described in subclause 5.6.2. In this solution the Home Agent functionality in the PDN GW is enhanced by some knowledge about availability of access networks. The already existing procedure "network initiated removal of an access network from a PDN connection" as specified in subclause 5.9 of 3GPP TS 24.303 [18] is used to redistribute the IP flows via the access networks remaining operational, in a smooth manner and early enough. To this end, the Binding Revocation Indication (BRI) messages sent to all affected UEs could be spread out over time, while still allowing completion of the process before the access network is switched off. This is illustrated in figure 6.4.1-1. Figure 6.4.1-1: Overall scheme of signalling with network based handling for multi access and flow mobility In the upper part of figure 6.4.1-1 the principal sequence of steps in signalling between the UE and Home Agent is shown for one UE. In the lower part the aggregated behavior, including desired safety margin before switch-off and expectable latency after switch-on is sketched. Because the redistribution of IP flows after switch-on is purely UE dependent, the signalling will be more irregular. No further assumptions can be made regarding how the Home Agent acquires its knowledge about the scheduled downtimes of access networks, as this is out of scope of this study.
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.4.2 Benefits
Potential overload on PDN GW/Home Agent can be avoided. IP flows can be moved from access networks subject to switch-off to access networks remaining operational; this reduces packet loss and thus improves user experience.
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.4.3 Limitations
How the HA acquires knowledge about downtime of access networks is left unspecified. Although static provisioning of data seems possible for small scale deployments, a fully standardized solution for this part would require additional specification effort (in CT4's or SA5's domain of work).

6.4.4 Impacts on 3GPP Specifications
No normative impacts foreseen; however, it could be worthwhile to document this use case in an informative manner. 6.5 Solution "Activation times in ANDSF data"
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.5.1 Description
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.5.1.1 Variant 1
This variant of the solution consists in enhancing access network discovery information data, stored and provided by ANDSF for non-3GPP access networks, with activation status information (activation time windows). If lacking (default) it means that these access networks are assumed to be always active. The information on activation time can be taken into account for UEs decisions on: - access network (re-)selection: it can be avoided that the UE tries to select an access network which actually is not switched on. Although the UE would detect this situation by access specific means (e.g. probing or scanning) it is more efficient to know it in advance; - (non-optimized) handover: if the UE is using an access network known to be switched off soon, it can initiate the handover early enough, so that the whole procedure can be completed before the current radio is lost; - flow re-distribution: if the UE is using an access network known to be switched off soon, it can initiate the flow-redistribution early enough, so that the whole procedure can be completed before the current radio is lost; and - ANDSF interrogation: the UE, when probing or scanning for a radio access, will not detect a mismatch with ANDSF data. Therefore a potential cause for ANDSF interrogation is avoided.
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.5.1.2 Variant 2
In this variant the activation times of access networks are considered implicitly with all relevant ISMP and ISRP rules. Evaluating these enhanced policy rules will result in optimized UE behavior equivalent to the one described above for variant 1.
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.5.2 Benefits
This solution helps to solve the key issue "Increased ANDSF load" described in subclause 5.6.1. The additionally provided information avoids that the UE, due to finding a persistent mismatch between data received from ANDSF and the real availability of access networks, would deem the data being outdated and try to refresh it from ANDSF. This solution can also mitigate key issues "Latency associated with WLAN access network re-selection after switch-off (WLAN 3GPP IP access)" described in subclause 5.3.2 and "Mass effect resulting from WLAN access network re-selection after switch-off " described in subclause 5.3.3, as it allows UEs to re-select WLAN access network pro-actively. This solution alleviates key issue "Degradation of service due to switch-off of non-3GPP access networks" described in subclause 5.4.2, due to the fact that handovers can be initiated timely enough. This solution mitigates key issue "Signalling overload for multi-access and flow mobility" as described in subclause 5.6.2, because flow-redistribution can be done timely enough (similar to the solution described in subclause 6.4, but initiated by the UE instead of the Home Agent).
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.5.3 Limitations
There can be no guarantee that the activation times announced explicitly or considered implicitly in policy rules by ANDSF match perfectly the reality; e.g. it could happen that a radio access is still switched off, despite being announced as active, and vice versa. Announcing activation times could lead advanced users to wait and start requesting their services immediately after the switch-on of a particular radio access; this behavior should be considered by including sufficient margins with activation times. Dynamic handling e.g. for taking into account current load cannot be achieved by this solution.
2d016e763d82d2bbce817fafc33663a6
24.826
6.5.4 Impacts on 3GPP Specifications
For variant 1, the following 3GPP specifications require enhancements for this solution: - 3GPP TS 23.402 and potentially 3GPP TS 23.261: enhancement in functional description (stage 2); - 3GPP TS 24.312: additional information elements defining the activation time windows of e.g. GERAN_CI, UTRAN_CI, EUTRA_CI, Sector-ID, BS-ID, HESSID, SSID, BSSID; and - 3GPP TS 24.302: reflect the usage of additional information (activation time windows) in procedural descriptions. For variant 2 there is no impact on 3GPP specifications.

7.2 Detailed conclusions
The following conclusions are drawn: - Several key issues (in particular those in subclauses 5.1.5, 5.1.8, 5.2.2, 5.3.3, 5.6.1 and 5.6.2) are related to potential widescale synchronized UE behaviour. As a general strategy, and independent of individual solutions, these issues can be mitigated by spreading out switching (on/off) times sufficiently. - Several possible solutions have been defined which do not have any impact on the 3GPP specifications (those described in subclause 6.1, 6.3, 6.4 and partially 6.5 [variant 2]), and as an implementation option they could be exploited as of today. - For energy saving in 3GPP access, subclauses 6.1 and 6.3 provide some proposed solutions which relate also to functionalities in the RAN. Taking into account the fact that the solution described in subclause 6.1 is an intra-operator one, an operator can consider this solution for deployment in the first place. In addition, if an operator has to meet high targets for energy saving and tight coordination including network sharing with other operator(s) is feasible, s/he could consider the solution described in subclause 6.3. - For energy saving in non-3GPP access, the solution described in subclause 6.5 solves several key issues. However as variant 1 would introduce new normative requirements onto 3GPP entities while variant 2 does not, it seems logical to propose, in the initial phase of implementing an energy saving strategy, variant 2 as a way forward.

3 Justification
Sustainable development is a long-term commitment in which all of us should take part. As part of sustainable development, our fight against global warming should be without respite. Most mobile network operators aim at reducing their greenhouse emissions, by several means such as limiting their networks' energy consumption. Furthermore, energy costs are rising and form a growing share of the operational expenses of mobile network operators. SA5 up to now has defined Energy Saving Management functionality for LTE (OAM aspects of Energy Saving in Radio Networks (OAM-ES) UID_470037. Such definitions are not yet present for 3G and 2G mobile networks. But also for these a standardized Energy Saving Management functionality is required. This study will also involve Inter-RAT Energy Saving Management, e.g. when network redundancy is leveraged. By initiating this Study and the intended follow-up implementation Work Item about OAM aspects of Inter-RAT Energy Savings, SA5 hopes to contribute to the protection of our environment and the environment of future generations.

4 Objective
The objective of this study is to: Identify the most important Inter-RAT energy saving scenarios and use cases Identify OAM based concept and requirements for these use cases Analyse how existing IRPs can be re-used, adapted or extended to fulfil these requirements or if a new IRP is needed. Select information that should be used to decide if an energy saving cell shall enter or leave energy saving mode. New elements in IRPs, adaptations or extensions to IRPs may be considered in this study item, but the study item is not limited to them: LTE ES management functionality for Inter-RAT scenarios Suitable traffic load measurements (potentially with short granularity periods) Energy consumption measurements “low consumption mode” of network resources Adjust Network Resources Models Note that SA5 is willing to work in cooperation with RAN WGs where needed. The time frame for this study item is intentionally set very short. It is intended to create, based on the results of the study, within the Rel-11 time frame a dedicated work item for OAM aspects of Inter-RAT Energy Saving. *) Note: The following concrete use cases were considered when this study item was created: General scenario: There are two RAT layers. Use case 1: cells of the different RATs are collocated and have a similar coverage area. Use case 2: cells of one RATs are not collocated and have a significantly smaller coverage area than the other RAT. Typically cells of the RAT working on higher frequency can be switched off / brought into lower energy consumption mode in low traffic periods, can be switched on again if traffic indicators shows higher traffic than typical in backing cell (potentially also other information can be used to decide if switching cell/s on can really bring benefits to the customer).

3 Justification *
A Heterogeneous Network consists of different types of Base Stations (BSs), such as macro, micro and pico BSs. These types of BSs will be mixed in an operating network. Using low power BSs like micro and pico to enhance coverage and capacity, it is foreseen that there will be very many of these low power BSs in operation. Each of them will cover an area that is significantly smaller than a macro BS. Each of the low power BSs will correspond to a number of objects with attributes and measurements to manage. At the same time, each low power BS is a node in itself and the requirement to manage them are similar as for macro BSs. What performance management information that is wanted is very similar as for macro. The configuration requirements for the cellular network supported by low power nodes are still very similar as for macro nodes. The requirements for being able to generate alarm are still very similar as for macro nodes. As the amount of low power nodes can be very many, a different approach to manage the nodes are needed. They do not necessarily always need be actively connected to the management system. They can use "On Demand" management paradigm. But it is up to the operator to choose which nodes shall use the "on demand" paradigm. "On Demand" paradigm means that nodes are not constantly connected over Itf-N to the IRPManager via the IRPAgent and that the IRPManager can connect to "On Demand" managed nodes via the IRPAgent to perform management actions. The IRPManager can also decide whether a node shall be managed via "On Demand Management" or "Constantly Connected management" paradigm. Femto is not included in this study.

4 Concepts and background
It becomes more and more common that operators operate more than one RAT. To save CAPEX, some radio equipment can be shared between the different RATs. Radio equipment can also be shared within a RAT. This NRM makes it easy to operate such shared radio equipment and to understand the consequences in all affected RATs when a change is made in a shared equipment.

1 Scope
This present document specifies the measurement procedure for the conformance test of the mobile station that contain transmitting characteristics, receiving characteristics and performance requirements in addition to requirements for support of RRM (Radio Resource Management) in both UTRATDD modes. The two options are the 3,84 Mcps TDD Option and 1,28 Mcps TDD Option, respectively. The requirements are listed in different clauses only if the corresponding parameters deviate. More generally, tests are only applicable to those mobiles that are intended to support the appropriate functionality. To indicate the circumstances in which tests apply, this is noted in the “definition and applicability” part of the test. For example only release 5 and later UE declared to support HSDPA shall be tested for this functionality. In the event that for some tests different conditions apply for different releases, this is indicated within the text of the test itself.
