Title:

Response to the Proposal for Iub Interface O&M Work Item and amendment
of TSG-RAN Terms of Reference

_________________________________________________________________________________
3GPP-TSG-SA-WG5 would like to thank 3GPP-TSG-RAN-WG3 Iub O&M Ad Hoc for their efforts in
progressing the Iub O&M work and for their proposal of an work split.
3GPP-TSG-SA-WG5 shares the opinion of 3GPP-TSG-RAN-WG3 Iub O&M Ad Hoc to progress phase 1 Detailed O&M logical model of Node B - as fast as possible. We agree that this phase falls within the
responsibility of 3GPP-TSG-RAN WG3 and we are willing to support this activity. We suggest that following
the completion of phase 1 that the subsequent phases are reviewed.
The architecture proposed by 3GPP-TSG-RAN-WG3 Iub O&M Ad Hoc (see figure 1 below) is accepted as
working assumption by 3GPP-TSG-SA-WG5. We do also acknowledge our responsibility to further refine those
areas of the architecture within our scope. We welcome the input of 3GPP-TSG-RAN-WG3 Iub O&M Ad Hoc
on any further refinements.

Figure 1: Refined Management Architecture

In the diagram above we have identified further refinements that we consider to be of high priority of 3GPPTSG-SA WG5. I.e. the interface between Element Management Systems and Network Management Systems,
which many operators have invested in and deployed today and will continue to use for UMTS.
