10、ks Summary This Recommendation lays down a framework for supporting and defining the role of network management for IMT-2000 networks. IMT-2000 networks consist of various network elements and telecommunication technologies such as wireless and IP-based services. It is intended to give some guidance

11、 to identify data that is needed to check the status/performance of networks, especially IMT-2000 networks. Network management requires real-time monitoring of current network status and performance and the ability to take prompt action to control the performance and resources of the network when ne

12、cessary. It should be noted that the complete range of network status and performance parameters are not necessary for the introduction of a network management capability.

37、de access to a wide range of telecommunication services, some of which are supported by the fixed telecommunication networks, to other services which are specific to mobile users, and to new and innovative services. ITU-T Rec. E.418 (05/2003) 3 Key features of IMT-2000 are: high degree of commonalit

38、y of design worldwide; incorporation of a variety of systems (IMT-2000 Family of Systems concept: ITU-T Rec. Q.1701); global roaming; high service quality; use of IN capabilities. Extension of network management aspects to IMT-2000 networks requires consideration of IMT-2000 capabilities, including

39、the multiple Quality of Service (QoS) classes, Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and handover procedures that can exist in a wireless-based network. To guarantee QoS in a radio network, radio resource management is needed. It contains handover/power/admission/load control and packet scheduling, etc. T

40、o assure a satisfactory level of network performance, a robust and fast network management capability is desired to promptly detect any traffic-related problem in the network and to try to resolve it as quickly as possible. In this Recommendation, to identify traffic-related problems, some key param

41、eters relating to performance that can affect traffic in IMT-2000 networks are addressed. In order to indicate the status and measure the performance of the network, data will be required which will identity where and when difficulties are occurring in the network, or are likely to occur. Such data

42、will require real-time collection and processing. Network status and performance parameters from IMT-2000 network elements contain information regarding the following areas: traffic performance within the IMT-2000 network; resource access measurements; Quality of Service; resource availability. 6 Tr

43、affic management principles and functions for IMT-2000 One major characteristic of IMT-2000 networks is that they contain both packet switching and circuit switching. The combination of packet and circuit switching functionality in the same network node adds complexity to the operations functions th

44、at manage the overall network. The network topology of IMT-2000 networks may be adjusted by management controls (e.g., by fine tuning the geographic coverage of adjacent cells, or by adjusting the preference for cell selection for subscribers in the boundary area between such cells) in order to addr

45、ess traffic loading imbalances. Frequent imbalances may need to be detected by management systems, and may be addressed through enhancing the capacity of the radio access network through, e.g., provisioning additional radio resources, cell splitting, etc. An important issue in Network Management for

46、 IMT-2000 networks is that the network topology in mobile networks can frequently change because of roaming and handover, so network management must be able to hold dynamic topology changes e.g., when the cell coverage for specific cells are reduced or expanded from a normal condition when controlli

47、ng a traffic situation between adjacent cells. One of the challenges faced in network management for IMT-2000 networks is that there will often be multiple service providers, network provider and content providers. This environment means service providers must be able to share data related to subscr

48、iber profiles, billing and security information based on business agreements. When a subscriber roams, some of that subscribers data is transferred from one network to another, e.g., HLR to VLR, or HA to FA, as part of real-time call 4 ITU-T Rec. E.418 (05/2003) or session handling. Problems in acce

49、ssing or transferring data in support of roaming need to be detected and addressed by management systems. Another challenge is that provisioning is complex in mobile networks. Data, with regard to the call set up process, involves a naming scheme of addresses and routes which could be specific for each subscribers service level. This data is maintained in different configuration databases. When a subscriber is roaming within a network or between network operations, the specific routing data with reg
