1 Scope
The purpose of the present document is the definition of the SuM Information model which is paramount for the NGN
service delivery within TISPAN NGN.
The present document contains the specification of an information model covering all the mandatory/optional
information related to subscription management that shall be provisioned on the NGN Network.
The information model described in the present document is developed according to the specifications of TISPAN R1.
The purposes of the document are:
• To capture the Subscription Management Information Model needs as expressed in [1].
• To satisfy the needs of the NGN OSS Service Interfaces (NOSI) defined in the Subscription Management
Functional Architecture and to support their implementation in Solution Set interfaces.
2 References
References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or
non-specific.
• For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
• Non-specific reference may be made only to a complete document or a part thereof and only in the following
cases:
- if it is accepted that it will be possible to use all future changes of the referenced document for the
purposes of the referring document;
- for informative references.
Referenced documents which are not found to be publicly available in the expected location might be found at
http://docbox.etsi.org/Reference.
For online referenced documents, information sufficient to identify and locate the source shall be provided. Preferably,
the primary source of the referenced document should be cited, in order to ensure traceability. Furthermore, the

4 High Level Model
4.1 Overview
In this clause, a general contextualization of Subscription Management within TISPAN is given. This clause is
organized with an initial textual description, followed by a general diagram which aims to depict the "SuM High Level
Model".
The goal of SuM within the current TISPAN release is to provision the NGN functional entities with all information
related to a specific subscriber in order to allow its users to use their services.
The objective of the high level model is the identification of candidate entity groupings that need to be modelled,
possible relations between those groupings and the associated candidate attributes.
The High Level Model does not specify any information model, but is used as the basis for the design of the SuM
Information Model.
A Subscriber is an entity that is engaged in a subscription with a Service Provider. One or more Users can be associated
to a subscriber, who is allowed to subscribe and unsubscribe services, to register a user or a list of users authorized to
use these services, and also to set the limits relative to the use that associated users make of these services.

An NGN Subscriber subscribes to NGN Services (e.g. VoIP, VoD, etc) and directly or indirectly to a set of Network
Accesses (xDSL, etc.) This subscription covers two different aspects:
• Subscription to the NGN Services.
• Subscription to Network Accesses.
A relationship between NGN services and network accesses is established, in that it is possible to "enjoy" specific NGN
services over specific network accesses.
The NGN Subscriber is engaged in a Subscription with a Service Provider. The NGN Subscriber may also be engaged
in a subscription with a Network Access Provider.
The entity which uses the NGN subscribed services/accesses is the User. The subscriber is responsible of the
assignment of services/accesses and rights to its users.
Each user may be associated to multiple subscribers, and one subscriber may be associated to multiple users.
All the parameters related to the services and/or network accesses subscribed by the subscriber are included in a profile
related to the subscriber. All the parameters related to the services and network accesses assigned to the user are
