Page 9ETR 292: July 19971ScopeThis ETSI Technical Report (ETR) provides an overview of the network management requirements in aTerrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) Voice plus Data (V+D) mobile radio system. The primary motivation ofthis ETR is to provide a starting point to facilitate central network management of TETRA systems fromdifferent manufacturers. After an overview of network management in TETRA, this ETR outlines theapproach to the work, followed by the specification of the management services and information flows.Finally a standardization strategy for network management for TETRA is given.The guiding principle in the examination of central Telecommunications Management Network (TMN)management services has been that the Central Network Management (CNM) facility will generally fulfil amonitoring role rather than a controlling role, although performing some limited controlling functions suchas temporarily disabling and enabling individual subscribers.With this constraint, an examination of the necessary central network management functions indicatesthat only a subset need to be standardized in order to support a high degree of inter-operability betweendifferent manufacturers' TMN management services. It appears that the following network managementfunctionalities require access from the CNM facility (or, in the case of items d) and (g), requirestandardization in support of that access):a)management of subscribers (for temporary actions only);b)subscriber activity log and subscriber diagnostics;c)access to system performance measurement data;d)access to network management facilities;e)fault and maintenance data;f)testing and recovery of network support links, in particular the Local to Central NetworkManagement link (LNM-CNM link);g)accounting management.It is clear that remote access to the LNM facilities from the centre will need to be supported by appropriateauthentication and authorization procedures optionally including encryption over the LNM-CNM link.In this ETR all of the local and central telecommunications management functions are examined andthose that require to be standardized to allow remote CNM operation, as defined above, are identified.The local/central/local network management information flows required to support the CNM functions arestudied and recommendations are made for defining TMN standard protocols and procedures.2ReferencesThis ETR incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications.

Page 11ETR 292: July 1997subscriber terminal: An equipment which an internal user can use to communicate with another user.Mobile Stations (MS) and Line Stations (LS) are the only types of subscriber terminal.Supplementary Service: A Supplementary Service modifies or supplements a bearer service or ateleservice. A Supplementary Service cannot be offered to a customer as a stand alone service. It shouldbe offered in combination with a bearer service or a teleservice.Switching and Management Infrastructure (SwMI): All of the TETRA equipment for a Voice plus Data(V+D) network except for subscriber terminals. The SwMI enables subscriber terminals to communicatewith each other via the SwMI.transaction (packet transaction): All the processes and procedures associated with the transmission ofone packet of information between peer network layer protocol entities on opposite sides of the airinterface.transaction (voice transaction): Part of a voice call comprising the transmissions of each talking party.The total of all transactions make up the call.transferred account procedure: Name given to the central accounting procedure defined in the GSMstandards. The transferred account procedure is used to allocate costs to roamed mobiles.3.2AbbreviationsFor the purposes of this ETR, the following abbreviations apply:ACLAccess Control ListACSEAssociated Control Service ElementASNAbstract Syntax NotationBERBit Error RateBICBarring Incoming CallsBOCBarring Outgoing CallsBRSBase Radio StackBSBase StationCKCipher KeyCMIPCommon Management Information ProtocolCMISCommon Management Information ServiceCMOTCMIP Over TCP/IPCNMCentral Network ManagementCSControl SupervisorCUGClosed User GroupDESData Encryption SystemDGNADynamic Group Number AssignmentEFDEvent Forwarding DiscriminatorGDMOGuidelines for the Definition of Managed ObjectsGOSGrade OF ServiceGSMGlobal System for Mobile communicationsGTSIGroup TETRA Subscriber IdentityHLRHome Location RegisterI5Interface between central and local network management systemsISDNIntegrated Services Digital NetworkISIInter System InterfaceITSIIndividual TETRA Subscriber IdentityITUInternational Telecommunication UnionLALocation AreaLNMLocal Network ManagementLSLine StationMERMessage Erasure RateMFAManagement Functional AreasMIBManagement Information BaseMSMobile StationNMCNetwork Management ControllerNMSNetwork Management SystemOSIOpen Systems InterconnectionPSIST ETR 292:2000

Anaccepted framework for the standardization process is the ITU TMN methodology, ITU-TRecommendation M.3020 [1].The first task was to identify the services required, rather than the functions (services are implemented byfunctions). Service descriptions have to identify who benefits from the service, e.g. network manager,dispatcher or subscriber. It was decided to define all network management services (local and central)and then extract the central ones needed to support interworking between management systems.Once the services have been defined the aims stated in subclauses 4.1 a) and b) can be addressed.4.3Problems with the definition of management services using ITU methodologyA Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) is intended to support a wide variety of managementfunctions which cover planning, operations, administration, maintenance and provisioning oftelecommunication networks and services, ITU-T Recommendation M.3400 [3], paragraph 1.2.A TMN management service is seen as an area of management activity which provides for support of anaspect of Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) of the network being managed, describedfrom the user perception of the OAM requirements, ITU-T Recommendation M.3200 [2], paragraph 1.It was found that using the ITU methodology led to much overlap between categories of service definition,with duplication between the heading of the management service and the Management Functional Areas(MFAs) e.g. performance, fault, configuration etc.). The amount of detailed categorization required did notgive a clear picture to guide network management development in TETRA, where the current objectivePSIST ETR 292:2000



Page 13ETR 292: July 1997was to standardize a limited degree of interworking between network management systems of differentTETRA systems at an early date.4.4Simplified methodologyBecause of the problems associated with use of the full ITU methodology, a simpler, alternative approachwas employed, using parts of the ITU methodology to provide a clearer way to identify the standardizationtask. This alternative approach is detailed in clause 6.PSIST ETR 292:2000



Page 14ETR 292: July 19975Overview of network management in TETRA5.1TMN reference system architectureThe primary reason for addressing network mManagement is to facilitate central management ofinterworking between TETRA systems from different manufacturers (figure 1).NODELNMLNMLNMCNMTETRA1TETRA 2TETRA 3ISIISIISII5I5I5NOTE:This schematic diagram does not imply any specific architectural implementation within theindividual TETRA networks.Figure 1: Network management reference modelThe reference system architecture assumes:-a number (say up to 25) of individual TETRA systems which may be procured from more than onesupplier;-each TETRA system has its own Local Network Management (LNM) and Subscriber Management(SM) facility which handles all aspects local to the system itself;-there is also a Central Network Management (CNM) facility which monitors or controls certainfunctions within and between the individual systems. Each system has a link to the CNM facility.5.2Role of playersThe CNM system manager manages the CNM on a day-to-day basis.The LNM system manager manages each TETRA system on a day-to-day basis, reconfiguring itdynamically as required. He manages subscribers and arranges maintenance when required. It isenvisaged that each LNM system manager will have authority only to operate within their own system.The Control Supervisor (CS) oversees several dispatchers in a single TETRA system and may carry outcertain functions of the LNM system manager.The dispatcher uses the facilities of the TETRA system to communicate with his organization's staff.The individual subscriber uses the TETRA system to communicate with other subscribers or hisdispatcher.PSIST ETR 292:2000



Page 15ETR 292: July 19975.3Non-standardized aspectsCertain aspects of network management in TETRA will only be performed at a local level and therefore donot need to be standardized. The following non-exhaustive list gives examples:-performance management:-measurement data collection;-tracing data collection;-fault or maintenance management:-alarm status monitoring;-alarm collection and logging;-alarm history handling;-diagnostics and test handling;-recovery;-equipment state handling;-configuration management:-time management;-software management;-radio network management;-routing management;-subscriber management:-subscriber basic data management;-basic service
