Telecommunication management; Evolved Packet Core (EPC) Network Resource Model (NRM) Integration Reference Point (IRP); Information Service (IS)
The present document specifies Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network resource information that can be communicated between an IRPAgent and an IRPManager for telecommunication network management purposes, including management of converged networks. . It reuses relevant parts of the Generic NRM in 3GPP TS 28.622 [6], either by direct reuse or sub-classing, and in addition to that defines EPC specific Information Object Classes.
This document specifies the semantics and behaviour of information object class attributes and relations visible across the reference point in a protocol and technology neutral way. It does not define their syntax and encoding.
In order to access the information defined by this NRM, an Interface IRP such as the "Basic CM IRP" is needed (3GPP TS 32.602 [7]). However, which Interface IRP is applicable is outside the scope of the present document.
