Telecommunication management; Study on alignment of 3GPP Performance Management (PM) and TeleManagement Forum (TMF) Interface Program (TIP) Performance Management
The present document provides consistent and aligned PM and PM interfaces in 3GPP and TMF. The present document:
• identifies similarities and differences of the PM capabilities in 3GPP and TMF TIP PM BA;
• proposes enhancements to 3GPP PM solutions for converged networks and to satisfy TMF TIP PM BA requirements;
• identifies any required changes in the 3GPP specifications;
• identifies any required changes in the TMF specifications (to be communicated to TMF).
Backwards compatibility of the PM IRP should be maintained as much as possible by re-using existing specifications to the maximum extent.
The counter collected by each of the Network Elements (NE) and the definition of those are NE specific and there is no intention to harmonize those.
However KPIs with a network view should be explored.
