Introduction
This specification provides the IRP Overview for 3GPP specifications, addressing Interface IRPs, NRM IRPs,
Measurement / Trace /SON specifications, as well as their relationships with each other.
ETSI
3GPP TS 32.103 version 12.3.0 Release 12 6 ETSI TS 132 103 V12.3.0 (2021-01)
1 Scope
The present document gives an overview about 3GPP's management interface capabilities and related functionality.
It provides high-level information about IRP Framework, available IRPs as well as their relationship with each other.
This document is intended to be a guide into the world of 3GPP management specifications, enabling also non-subject
matter experts to gain an understanding about 3GPP's management solutions.
In addition Annex A provides IRP packaging suggestions, intended to guide service providers as well as equipment and
solutions providers to identify and choose suitable standardized management interface capabilities.

4 IRP Framework
4.1 Introduction
For the purpose of management interface development 3GPP has developed an interface concept known as Integration
Reference Point (IRP) to promote the wider adoption of standardized management interfaces in telecommunication
networks. The IRP concept and associated methodology employs model-driven development, protocol and technology
neutral modelling methods as well as protocol specific solution sets to achieve its goals.
IRP Framework and Methodology related 3GPP specifications:
- 32.150 [2]: Integration Reference Point (IRP) Concept and definitions
- 32.151 [13]: IRP Information Service (IS) template (applicable to 32-series IRPs)
- 32.152 [14]: IRP IS Unified Modeling Language (UML) repertoire
- 32.153 [15]: IRP technology specific templates, rules and guidelines
- 32.154 [16]: Backward and Forward Compatibility Concept and definitions
- 32.155 [17]: Requirements template
- 32.156 [18]: Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) Model repertoire
- 32.157 [19]: IRP Information Service (IS) template (applicable for FMC)
4.2 IRP Framework Highlights
4.2.1 IRP Concept
IRP specifications are specified using a 3-level approach: Requirements, IS-level and SS-level.

Requirements-level:
The "Requirements-level" intends to provide conceptual and use cases definitions for a specific management
interface aspect as well as defining subsequent requirements for this IRP.
IS-level:
The "IS-level" provides the technology independent specification of an IRP.
SS-level:
The "SS-level" finally provides the mapping of IS definitions into one or more technology-specific Solution
Sets. This concept provides support for multiple interface technologies as applicable on a vendor and/or network
type basis and also enables accommodation of future interface technologies - withou
