/itudoc/itu-d/dept/psp/ssb/mpg/ch00.pdf References and Acknowledgements The fundamental plans are parts of the 'ITU Master Plan Guide'. See for example: http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/bdtint/baap/sec1_03.html I have myself earlier treated the area in a couple of books, called Understanding Telecommunications 1 and 2, (ISBN 91-44-00212-2 and ISBN 91-44-00214-9), especially in section A.10.8.5. If still available, see http://www.ericsson.com/support/telecom/ and proceed to A.10.8.5 Fundamental technical plans. I would also like to mention my cooperation with Ludvig Widell, the father of the PTP (Particular Technical Plans) concept, mentioned in the second reference and also in this book. Ludvig covered both fixed and mobile networks during the 1990s. FP and PTP can no doubt significantly support and integrate many operator processes. The cooperation with Thomas Muth has also been very valuable. Thomas covers both functions and implementation. His first book is called Modeling Telecom Networks and Systems Architecture: Conceptual Tools and Formal Methods. See position 317 in: http://www.isbn.nu/sisbn/telecommunication%20engineering::6 His next book is called Functional Structures in Networks (Springer Verlag). Thomas has been a source of inspiration especially for parts of Chapter 3.
