An ETR may be us
14、ed to publish material which is either of an informative nature, relating to the use or application of ETSs or I-ETSs, or which is immature and not yet suitable for formal adoption as an ETS or I-ETC. This ETR contains the results of a study into the integration of Intelligent Network (IN) and Telec
15、ommunications Management Network (TMN) in order to produce harmonised services to network users. This ETR describes how TMN concepts can be used for the management of IN structured networks and considers the applicability of IN concepts for TMN purposes. COPYRIGHT European Telecommunications Standar
16、ds InstituteLicensed by Information Handling Services3404583 0068983 74T Page 7 ETR 062:1993 1 Scope and objectives There is risk that the Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) and Intelligent Network (IN) concepts, and specific networks and/or services that utilise these concepts (e.g. Univer
17、sal Personal Telecommunications (UPT), Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS), B-ISDN) are considered as separate networks instead of being considered as different aspects of the same telecommunication network. As a result of difference in priorities of issues, it is quite possible that
18、IN and TMN will develop separate concepts for management and creation of services and management services. This may result in a diversion of developments, conflicting modelling concepts, overlap of work, and interworking problems of systems in the future. Therefore, a uniform and coherent way to des
19、cribe information transfer and to model network functionality should be pursued. Based on this, a synergy of concepts, tools and implementations may be reached. There is general agreement that a comprehensive harmonisation and/or integration between IN and TMN studies is necessary to prevent a diver
20、sion of modelling concepts and to prevent interworking problems of implementations in the future. In this study it is indicated how this harmonisation and integration can be reached. Constraints are indicated that should be followed in the evolution from the current pre-TMN and pre-IN configurations
21、 towards a pan-European solution. As a result, it should be possible to provide harmonised services to any network user, fulfilling both the IN and TMN requirements. The ultimate goal is to ensure that a complete integration of the TMN and IN techniques can take place. This ETSI Technical Report (ET
22、R) contains the intermediate results of this study. It has been produced by a dedicated European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Joint NA4/NA6 working group, in the time frame June 1990 to September 1992. Its goal is twofold: firstly it describes how TMN concepts can be used for manage
23、ment of IN structured networks; and secondly it considers the applicability of IN concepts for TMN purposes. This ETR does not cover an analysis of IN related management requirements and/or a definition of management functions or managed objects. Instead, it aims at a comparison and possible integra
24、tion of IN and TMN architectural and modelling concepts. The study is based on current views from ETSI and CCITT. As both the work on management ETR and IN is progressing in the relevant bodies, the results of this study should be regarded to present only the current views, as identified by the NA4/
25、NA6 working group. Although this ETR contains the reasonably harmonised view between NA4 and NA6, it is recognised that more extensive work will be done. This ETR will probably form the basis for further ETRs, but should not be viewed as being the ultimate conclusion of the “integration of TMN and I
26、N“. This ETR is structured as follows. Clause 2 contains a list of referenced documents that were used in this study. After a list of definitions in Clause 3, a short introduction to TMN an IN is provided in Clause 4. Based on this information, in Clause 5, IN and TMN architectural concepts are comp
27、ared and related to each other. In Clause 6, possible ways to integrate the IN and TMN information modelling techniques are indicated. As a result, Clauses 5 and 6 contain proposed enhancements to IN and TMN concepts that should make the integration of TMN possible. Clause 7 provides conclusions and
28、 recommendations. 2 References The following documents were used in the study for this ETR. 21 ISO/IEC 10040 (1 992): “Information technology - Open Systems Interconnection - Systems Management overview“.

Customer management service: a management service commercially offered to a customer. Management
37、Services (MS: a TMN management service is an offering fulfilling specific telecommunications management needs of the TMN user. TMN users may be internal or external to the organisation of the TMN provider. TMN MS is then a management activity which provides for the support of one aspect of operation
38、, administration and maintenance of the network and service being managed. The TMN MS is always designed from the TMN user perception of the management requirements (see CCITT Draft Recommendation M.60 11 11). Service feature: a specific aspect of a service that can also be used in conjunction with
39、other services/service features as part of a commercial offering. It is either a core part of a service or an optional part offered as an enhancement to a service. Service processing: the execution of service control and basic call processing functions to provide a service (see CCITT Recommendation
40、Q. 1290 1141). Service provider: an organisation that commercially provides for services offered to service subscribers. Service subscriber: an entity that contracts for services offered by service providers (see CCITT Recommendation Q.1290 11 41). (Service) user: an entity that uses the services pr
41、ovided (see CCITT Recommendation Q.1290 1141). For a definition of IN terminology, see the CCITT 0.1 200 series of Recommendations 11 41 (mainly CCITT Recommendation Q.1209 1141). An extensive list of TMN terminology can be found in CCITT Draft Recommendation M.60 111 I. For ease of reference, a lis

49、t IN and TMN documents (see Clause 1). It provides or references material that was used in this study. 4.1 TMN concepts The purpose of the TMN is to support a telecommunication operator in management of its telecommunications network and services. Conceptually, a TMN is a separate network that interfaces a telecommunications network at many different points to send information to and receive information from it and to control its operations. The basis concept behind a TMN is to provide an organised architecture to achieve interconnection between various types of Operations Systems Functions
