Question 12/4 - Telecommunications management and OAM Project
(New Question)
- Motivation
While Study Group 4 is the lead study group for TMN, some aspects of telecommunications management and OAM are being developed in other Study Groups. Telecommunication management and OAM activities include generic and technology-specific architectures, functional requirements, information models, and protocols for the specification of management and OAM interfaces between network elements, between network elements and management systems, and also between management systems.
A coordination and communication activity among the involved Study Groups and Questions is fundamental in order to facilitate the most efficient completion of the work. This activity includes the identification of missing work areas and those that are overlapping, or potentially so, between multiple Study Groups and Questions. It also includes encouraging the relevant work items in the most appropriate Questions, helping to define a suitable time schedule, and monitoring its development in a consistent way. This should allow a proper integration of the project information coming from telecommunications management and OAM projects, and eventually should ensure the mutual consistency of the standards prepared by the various bodies, on this subject.
- Question
Study items to be considered include, but are not limited to:
What aspects of telecommunication management and OAM need to be assigned to what Study Groups or Questions for timely development?
- Tasks
Tasks include, but are not limited to:
Develop, maintain, and regularly distribute a project overview/work plan that documents the work and time schedules of all major new telecommunications management and OAM activities
- Relationships
All other Study Groups working on telecommunications management and OAM. |
