18、ord This Technical Specification has been produced by the 3rdGeneration Partnership Project (3GPP). The contents of the present document are subject to continuing work within the TSG and may change following formal TSG approval. Should the TSG modify the contents of the present document, it will be

19、re-released by the TSG with an identifying change of release date and an increase in version number as follows: Version x.y.z where: x the first digit: 1 presented to TSG for information; 2 presented to TSG for approval; 3 or greater indicates TSG approved document under change control. y the second

20、 digit is incremented for all changes of substance, i.e. technical enhancements, corrections, updates, etc. z the third digit is incremented when editorial only changes have been incorporated in the document. Introduction The Itf-N partitions two groups of interacting entities called IRPManager(s) a

21、nd IRPAgent(s). The interactions between an IRPManager and IRPAgent are specified by the set of IRP specifications the IRPAgent supports, and which the IRPManager uses. Each YyyIRP (where “Yyy“ stands for Alarm, BasicCM, etc.) permits a manager to, via getIRPVersion, inspect its supported IRPVersion

22、(s). Each such IRPVersion uniquely identifies one supported Interface IRP SS. Each YyyIRP may also permit an IRPManager to, via getNRMIRPVersions, inspect its supported NRM IRPVersion(s). Each such IRPVersion uniquely identifies one supported NRM IRP SS. The 3GPP IRP specifications are expected to e

23、volve. For example, 3GPP Release 6 specifications include more or modified features compared to the corresponding set in Release 5. An IRPManager and IRPAgent, with implementations conformant to the same IRP specification (at the same IRPVersion(s) will be able to communicate. However, an upgrade of

24、 the IRPVersion, if not performed by both IRPAgent and IRPManager, can result in inter-working failure if Backward Compatibility (BC) issues are not addressed. The present document is applicable/relevant to a system context of a group of interacting IRPManagers and IRPAgents where some members are u

25、sing one IRPVersion while others are using an upgraded IRPVersion. ETSI ETSI TS 132 154 V14.0.0 (2017-04)53GPP TS 32.154 version 14.0.0 Release 141 Scope The present document gives recommendations to develop future IRP specifications in a Backward Compatible (BC) way so that the group of IRPManager(

26、s) and IRPAgent(s) are not forced to be upgraded in lock step. The business case for supporting such group, as described above, is complex. It may not relate to the functions of the supported IRPs alone. Rather, it can relate to the cost of coordination of IRPVersion upgrades, the cost of maintainin

27、g an old IRPVersion and the cost of using single-vendor or multi-vendor IRPAgents. These considerations are operator deployment scenarios specific. Clause 4 specifies the Recommendations and clause 5 describes the system context where the Recommendations are applicable. Editors Note: The “forward co

28、mpatability” part is FFS. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document. - References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-specific. - For

29、a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply. - For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies.

35、 when qualifying an IRPVersion, refer to a single Interface IRPVersion of the same kind, e.g. Alarm IRP. They also refer to NRM IRPVersion of the same kind, e.g. Core NRM. The new refers to a later release compared to the old. The words old and new, when qualifying an IRPManager, refer to an entity

36、that is using the old or the new (Interface or NRM) IRPVersion. The words old and new, when qualifying an IRPAgent, refer to an entity that contains an IRP that is supporting the old or the new (Interface or NRM) IRPVersion. In majority cases, an IRPAgent instance contains multiple IRPs, each of whi

37、ch is using a particular Interface IRPVersion. In these cases, each Recommendation statement should be repeated to cover all IRPs involved. The Recommendations do not imply that equipment vendors shall always supply their new IRPAgents in compliance to the solutions satisfying the Recommendations. T

38、he Recommendations simply identify the expected behaviours of a new system when it, claiming BC, interacts with an old system. Whether or not an IRPAgent should satisfy the Recommendations is a decision of the equipment vendor/supplier. The Recommendations do not imply that the next release of 3GPP

39、Interface IRP or NRM IRP specification must be BC (to the older one). Whether or not a new release of an Interface IRP or NRM IRP should be BC to its older version is a decision of the 3GPP specification author, on a case-by-case basis.

40、4.0.0 Release 144.2 Rules REC-1 An old IRPManager inter-operates with an old IRPAgent-A and a new IRPAgent-B. The interaction shall be successful in that the IRPManager can obtain the network management services (capabilities and features) defined by the old IRPVersion from both IRPAgents. The IRPMa

41、nager needs not have knowledge of new network management services defined by the new IRPVersion. REC-2 A new IRPManager inter-operates with a new IRPAgent-A and an old IRPAgent-B. The interaction shall be successful in that the IRPManager can obtain the network management services defined by (a) the

42、 new IRPVersion from IRPAgent-A and (b) the old IRPVersion from IRPAgent-B. NOTE: If the next minor and/or major release of 3GPP Interface IRP or NRM IRP specification is BC (to the older one), one could reduce or eliminate the difficult coordination task to introduce IRPVersion upgrades in a large

43、management domain containing multiple IRPManagers and IRPAgents. It can be more cost-effective if IRPVersion upgrades to individual entity (i.e. IRPManager and IRPAgent) are done at different times. ETSI ETSI TS 132 154 V14.0.0 (2017-04)83GPP TS 32.154 version 14.0.0 Release 145 BC context 5.1 Gener

44、al This clause defines the context under which the requirements specified in the present document are applicable. The word old qualifies the related entity (i.e. the AlarmIRP of an IRPAgent instance or Alarm IRPManager) that is using an older 3GPP IRPVersion (called old version). The word new qualif

45、ies the related entity that is using a newer (upgraded) 3GPP IRPVersion. EXAMPLE: A hypothetical 3GPP TS 32.123 V6.0.0 is considered the old version with reference to 3GPP TS 32.123 V6.1.0. The two versions in question can belong to the same or different major releases (e.g. Rel-5 or Rel-6). The box

46、 labelled EM in figure 5.1 conveys the same idea as the box of the same label in the System Context-A of other IRP specifications such as Alarm IRP IS 3GPP TS 32.111-2 3. One or all EM-labelled boxes of figure 5.1 can be interchanged with the NE-labelled box (see System Context-B of other IRP specif

47、ications such as Alarm IRP IS 3GPP TS 32.111-2 3). The NE entities are not shown in order to make the figure easier to read. NewIRPAgentItf-NEMOldIRPManagerNMNewIRPManagerNMOldIRPAgentEMFigure 5.1: Overall BC System Context In general, an IRPAgent instance may contain several Interface YyyIRP instan

48、ces and associated supporting Yyy NRM IRPs (where one IRP can be for example Alarm IRP, Test Management IRP, or “Notification IRP“, etc and where the other IRP can be for example Generic IRP). The Interface and NRM YyyIRP specifications of particular IRPVersion(s) together specify the behaviour of a

49、n Interface IRP and the supporting NRM IRP (s). NOTE: The IRPVersion concept is related to the IRP. The IRPVersion concept is not related to the IRPAgent as this may contain multiple IRPs. Given this background, the BC issues are addressed at two separate but related levels as described in clauses 5.2 and 5.3.
