Telecommunication management;Study on management aspects of next generation network architecture and features
The present document studies the management aspects of next generation network architecture and features.
The study includes:
- the use cases for management aspects of the next generation network in terms of network architecture and high level features;
- the potential impact of the next generation network architecture and high level features to the functional blocks of 3GPP management system;
- the location and role of management functionality to support next generation network architecture;
- the potential management related requirements for the next generation network in terms of network architecture and high level features;
- the possible solutions to support the management requirements brought from the end to end next generation network architecture;
- the possible solutions of management aspects to support the key features of the next generation network.
The study also makes conclusions on the preferred solution(s), and provides recommendations based on the conclusions of the study.
