Operation and maintenance functions used for BSS and GPRS/EDGE management can be organized into some of the functional management domains specified by ITU-T M.3010. These domains are: - Performance Management (PM) BSS Performance Management handles administration, scheduling and triggering of measurement campaigns to be performed per BSC and MFS in order to supervise the Quality of Service (QoS) offered to telecom subscribers. It provides retrieval, forwarding, processing, presentation and archiving of measurement results. At OMC-R level two types of measurement results are handled: (1) BSS observation counters, i.e. retrieval of proprietary measurement results for display, analysis and export (in binary or ASCII format). (2) BSS performance indicators for dedicated supervision of QoS information and fast detection of telecom service degradation. Performance indicators can be compared with user defined thresholds allowing the generation of QoS alarms (handled by the standard OMC-R alarm handling function). These indicators are also displayed and analyzed thanks to graphic or tabular reports. - Configuration Management (CM) BSS Configuration Management provides hardware management (BSS network extension, reduction or reconfiguration), software management (BSS software release migration), logical configuration management (BSS radio parameter adjustment for optimized configuration of radio related resources), as well as BSS date and time management. 9153 OMC-R also provides functions for extensive and time efficient logical configuration management with minimum telecom impact, e.g. massive adjustment of parameters for an optimized radio configuration or network wide activation of a new frequency plan. - Fault Management (FM) BSS Fault Management offers network supervision through alarm handling, status monitoring of equipment and resources, equipment handling and test management. In addition, the Alcatel-Lucent BSS supports autonomous recovery of GSM resources through reconfiguration of BTS in case of TRX failures.

A single OMC-R configuration can supervise multiple BSSs (the BSCs with all related BTSs), BSSs connected to different MSCs depending on the chosen configuration and multiple GPRS MFSs. Moreover, the OMC-R provides the capability to be connected to a Regional or Network Management Center (NMC) via vendor independent Q3 BSS mediation interface or via any available external interfaces.

Figure 5: 9153 OMC-R Distributed Configuration Overview The physical hardware configuration of an OMC-R is composed of - Master Server: Unix Server, whose main purpose is to run the OMC-R management application. In particular, this server hosts system administration functions, Alarm Database and Surveillance module, Q3 mediation and the Radio Network Configuration database. In the Single server configuration only, this host server mediates also data from the Network Elements, and stores these data in the BSS database. - Agent Server: Unix Server, only present in the distributed configuration, whose main purpose is to host the mediation of group of Network Elements in order to increase the capacity of the OMC-R.

- HMI Server: Unix Server whose main purpose is to enhance the performance of the system by moving the user interface part of the processing from the master Server to the HMI Server. In case of remote user terminals, a HMI server is required to ensure the terminal performances, which might be limited by weak transmission capability. - User Terminal: Graphical Workstations connected to the master Server or to the HMI Server. - Laser or line printers (optionally) The requirements in term of bandwidth on the OMC-R host server interfaces are described in ANNEX. Besides the OMC-R application software, the software part includes third-party software (e.g. Sun Solaris OS, Object Store database, X.25 protocol, OSI stack, etc.).
2.1.1 OMC-R Configurations Depending on the size of the BSS network that has to be supervised, five types of OMC-R configurations have been described as generic. The relevant BSS capacity for each OMC-R configuration is listed in the table of Section 2.2.1: - Small OMC-R configuration - Standard OMC-R configuration - Large OMC-R configuration with two variants - Extra Large OMC-R configuration (X-Large) (SML) (STD) (LRG) (XLRG)
- Extra Extra Large OMC-R configuration (XX-Large) (XXLRG) The first three configurations have only one Master Server and no Agent Server. The X-large configuration (distributed configuration) is composed of one Master Server and one or two Agent Servers (depending on server generations). The XX-Large configuration is composed of one Master and two Agent servers (UltraSparc IV generation only). OMC-R host and HMI Servers are built on Sun Microsystems servers. Two generations of these servers are used: UltraSparc III generation since B7 release

OMC-R host servers (Master or Agent) are built on Sun Fire (UltraSparc III and UltraSparc IV generations) servers which are the highest fault-resistant systems in their class. They offer excellent Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) features. As an example, autonomous restoration mechanisms are supported in case of following failures: - Power supply and cooling module failure - CPU failure - Memory failure - Disk failure (RAID technology, 100 % data redundancy, hot plug disks). 2.1.2 User Terminals Workstations (WS) are used as user terminals. Workstations are client graphical terminals running on their own operating system. They can be used as terminals to operate the network with the OMC-R application but it is also possible to run some applications (e.g. measurement post processing) without impacting server resources. OMC-R terminals are not dedicated to an OMC-R and an operator can use the same terminal to access different OMC-Rs (and possibly other applications). The OMC-R supports the two following categories of terminal: Terminals running SUN Solaris and supporting the X11 protocol Terminals running Citrix Metaframe clients, e.g. PC under Microsoft Windows. The Citrix Metaframe client software is installed on the terminals and is communicating with the Citrix Metaframe server software, hosted on the OMC-R HMI server. The maximum number of user sessions supported by this Citrix HMI server is in this case reduced by one user (except for the Tiny HMI server)
2.1.3 HMI Servers There are several kinds of HMI servers, each of them providing a different capacity in terms of number of operator sessions depending on the OMC-R type they are connected to. All HMI servers can be located either at the OMC-R site or remotely depending on the chosen operating topology. The large capacity HMI servers are usually located at the OMC-R site when the small capacity servers are often remotely located.

From release B10, when NPO option is used on OMC-R, the number of user sessions supported by HMI servers is reduced. 2.1.4 OMC-R Components Hardware Generations The following table defines the hardware reference of the OMC-R host and HMI server per type of configuration. OMC-R server Tiny Small Sun Fire V880 Sun Fire V490 Standard Sun Fire V880 Sun Fire V490 Large Sun Fire V880 Sun Fire V490 with external disk bay SE3510 X-Large Sun Fire V880 (x2) Sun Fire V490 with external disk bay SE3510 (x2) XX-Large Sun Fire V490 with external disk bay SE3510 (x3) HMI server Sun Blade 150, Ultra25 Sun Fire 280R Sun Fire V440 or Netra 440 Sun Fire 280R Sun Fire V440 or Netra 440 Sun Fire V440 or Netra 440 -
The workstations can be either Sun U5/U10, or Sun Blade series 100/150, or Ultra25 or any terminal when a Citrix solution is used (Universal terminal concept). Please refer to the document 9153 OMC-R SUN Hardware Evolutions (reference 3DC 20006 0019 UZZZA) to check the support of the different servers and configurations by the BSS software releases. 2.1.5 Software The software part of the 9153 OMC-R is based on the Alcatel Management Platform (ALMAP 3). ALMAP offers a powerful development environment (COMET) and a set of reusable components that fulfill telecommunication operator requirements. The architecture of ALMAP is object-oriented and complies with the major TMN and system management standards issued by ITU-T, ETSI and ISO and with recommendations from industry forums such as NMF. The ALMAP architecture is designed to support integration, scalability and flexibility.

ALMAP provides a comprehensive family of generic component reusable for the development of Network Management products. These generic components cover the functions common to all Network Management products, such as alarm surveillance (compliant with X733 standards), security (management of user accounts with profiles definition allowing to associate functions and network elements to a user) or system management functions. The open architecture permits to reuse or share these components across the Alcatel Management products for different telecommunication areas, including access, transmission, switching or mobile networks, thus providing the operator with a homogeneous management system, and also minimizing Alcatel Element and Sub-Network Managers cost of ownership. ALMAP is multi-OS platform. In the BSS case, only the SUN Solaris compatible version of ALMAP is used. ALMAP has been regularly updated according to the different version of Solaris, from 2.6 up to Solaris 10. In addition to ALMAP, other third-party softwares are used on OMC-R: - Communication stacks: Solstice X.25, OSI and CMIP - Graphical window management: X11 and Motif, Windows CDE, - OMC-R database: Object Store distributed database (Progress Software), - Help and documentation on-line: HTML Server and/or Navigator, - Database for BSS Performance Management: Oracle

'BSC equivalent' is defined as standardized load of the NE in terms of O&M capacity of the OMC-R. The following NE types must be considered: - BSC: - MFS: 1 9120 BSC or 1 9130 BSC Evolution = 1 BSC equivalent 1 9135 MFS or 1 9130 MFS Evolution = 2 BSC equivalent
All BSCs and MFSs that are associated to each other must be connected to the same OMC-R
configuration.

2.2.2 User Sessions per OMC-R Configuration Exact architecture of an OMC-R depends both on PLMN network architecture and PLMN Operators internal organization (e.g. OMC-R user terminals concentrated in a single location or distributed among several different places). In some cases, the OMC-R master can directly serve a few numbers of user terminals that are located in a single site (i.e. connected to a single local area network). In other cases, HMI servers might be required in order to handle remote terminals allocated to the local OMC-R or to increase the number of local sessions beyond some limit as defined in the document 9153 OMC-R SUN Hardware Evolutions (reference 3DC 20006 0019 UZZZA). The maximum number of user terminals is not limited in principle. One user session is used for each user connected to the OMC per user terminal (a session is identified by the couple user / user terminal). Depending of the actual number of managed Network Element managed by the OMC-R, the configuration (number and type of HMI servers) can be different and only depends on the required number of user sessions. All HMI servers of all generations can be used connected to an OMC-R whatever the generation of the server. But number of sessions can vary according to the BSS Release. From B10 release, OMC-R controls globally the number of simultaneously opened views and windows. This new user activity control allows on principle an unlimited number of user logins and optimizes available OMC-R resources usage.

Due to available physical resources on HMI servers (processing power and memory), there is still a maximum number of user sessions per HMI server. And this limit can be lowered when NPO option is installed on the OMC-R.
Remote Site
Figure 6: Single Agent OMC-R Topology The terminals are connected with a LAN (Ethernet 10 or 100 Mbit/s) either directly to the OMC-R host server (master) or, where used, to the HMI server. To ensure proper operation and performance in communications between units on the LAN, a "true" IP Ethernet switch should be used (not a common hub unit) with: - RJ45 ports with 10/100 Mbps base Tx auto detection flow rate, - IP multicast switching full duplex capacities - plug and play installation facilities.

2.3.2 OMC-R BSC interconnection The OMC-R host can be connected to the BSC in several ways that give a high degree of flexibility in choosing the OMC-R site (see following Figures). (1) Via PSDN The OMC-R BSC can be connected remotely through Packet Switched Data Network. In this case, up to two 64 kbit/s links at OMC-R site and one 64 kbit/s link at each BSC site may support the X.25 connection to the X.25 PSDN. For security reasons all physical X.25 connections can be configured redundantly. (2) Co-located site Without use of additional router, the OMC-R can be co-located with maximum one or two 9120 BSCs depending on the use of redundancy. In this case the interconnection is realized through dedicated serial lines. In case of 9130 BSC Evolution, the BSC can be connected to the LAN where the OMC-R is also connected. In such case, there are no limitations in terms of number of BSC Evolution managed locally, except the maximum number of cells managed by OMC-R.

The OMC-R can be connected remotely to the 9120 BSC or 9130 BSC at the MSC site by routing the O&M links over A/Ater interface (either X25 over A/Ater for 9120 BSC or IP over A/Ater for 9130 BSC Evolution).

Thanks to the availability on the market of 'intelligent' multi-protocol routers, the Alcatel-Lucent Universal Routing' solution is recommended as the standard solution. More detailed information about various routing configurations can be found in Chapter 3. Deployment of NGN in the field, replacing the MSCs, requires a new way for routing the O&M links between OMC-R and NEs (BSC and MFS). This will be also detailed in chapter 3. 2.3.3 OMC-R MFS (GPRS) interconnection This interface requires an IP connection in order to support Q3 and FTP protocols. Whatever the generation, 9135 MFS or 9130 MFS Evolution, the MFS supports two Ethernet ports to connect directly the Local Maintenance Terminal and the OMC-R.. For the 9130 MFS Evolution, in case the MFS is co-located with BSC Evolution it is also possible to encapsulate the MFS O&M flow into the Ater interface and to use the Alcatel-Lucent Universal Routing solution to establish the O&M link between MFS and OMC-R. The minimum bandwidth required for MFS - whatever the generation - is of 256 Kbits/s.

- or posted to predefined e-mail addresses (up to 2 different addresses), - or both sent to printer and posted to predefined e-mail addresses. When mail is chosen as ACO output, for each alarm matching the ACO filter, a mail is sent. The definition of alarm in the mail is restricted to 160 characters. The same 160 characters per alarm are printed out when printer is chosen as ACO output. Printer can be either located on the OMC-R LAN or connected to a remote HMI server on a distant site. The filtering criteria of ACO and of Alarm Surveillance (AS) module are the same. Consequently an alarm sub-list can be created in AS module in order to display the alarms verifying the ACO filter. AS views are available on any terminals connected to local or remote HMI servers. ACO filter and service definitions are available through a WEB browser interface. Consequently, on condition that IP addresses of other OMC-R have been set, and routes have been opened, an operator can define the ACO filter and services for several OMC-Rs from his terminal, without having to do any remote connection on the other OMC-Rs.

These automatic actions are performed through command mode scripts defined by the operator specifically for each action. Typical examples are: sending a SMS/email to on-duty people upon reception of a pre-defined set of alarms. This is equivalent to the previously described Alarm Call Out feature but with the benefit of a realtime reaction. Performing a well-defined action upon reception of a certain alarm (such as restarting the board concerned by the received alarm). This allows OMC-R operator concentrating on the most important alarms. In both cases, main benefit from the feature is that it allows saving OPEX cost. 2.4.3 Centralized management via Network Management System (NMS) Thanks to the real-time Q3 interface for Fault Management, it is possible to connect one or several OMC-R to a NMS, centralizing the network supervision. Filtering capabilities are proposed on this interface in order to reduce the flow of alarms when several OMC-R are used, allowing central operators to concentrate only on important alarms.

Figure 9: PM front-office and back-office approach 2.6.2 9159 Network Performance Optimizer (NPO) The above front-office activity is completed by a post-processing activity (back-office) consolidating Quality of Service information on a long period duration (weeks, months, years) and allowing forecast and trends analysis for network optimization purpose. The optional 9159 Network Performance Optimizer (NPO) product achieves this activity. This data post-processing function generates Quality of Service and Network Performance Analysis reports with up to two years history. In addition, NPO embeds the full set of radio optimization functions formerly provided by RNO tool, widely recognized as reference in the domain of radio optimization. For more details on NPO, refer to Alcatel-Lucent 9159 Network Performance Optimizer Product description (reference 3DC 21146 0062 TQZZA). The small configuration of the OMC-R is able to embed the complete NPO software in order to optimize the number of needed server: one server for OMC-R and NPO.

3.2 Routing and Trunking of O&M Links between BSC and OMC-R through MSC
Instead of interconnecting BSCs to the relevant OMC-R through PSDN links external to the PLMN itself, routing through internal PCM links is performed. This is done using: - The O&M links available on the PCM trunks between BSC and MSC (the O&M links using available dedicated timeslots inside the PCMs used for traffic); - Semi-Permanent Connections (SPC) or 'Nailed-up' Connections within the MSC, to route the different O&M links to a single PCM trunk towards the OMC-R 2; - Standard G.703/704 PCM link between the MSC and the multi-protocol network router colocated to the OMC-R. (if OMC-R and MSC are co-located, a short piece of PCM wire can be used; otherwise, a dedicated PCM trunk must be established additionally to the links already used for telecom traffic purposes). Figure below illustrates this principle in a simple case. The following chapter gives more details about the interconnection of the OMC-R to the co-located router.

This scheme is valid for both 9120 BSC and 9130 BSC Evolution, when the BSCs are not collocated with the MSC site and O&M flows are routed through Ater interface. Remark: In the particular case of the BSC Evolution, if the customer has an IP network available, this network can be used for routing the O&M flow between the BSC Evolution and the OMC-R as well as between MFS and OMC-R.
3.3 Routing and Trunking of O&M Links between BSC and OMC-R through NGN
2 cases are possible when core infrastructure is based on NGN: 1. If the Media Gateway (MGw) offers the Semi Permanent Connection (SPC) function: the same solution as for MSC can be used (see above chapter 3.2). 2. But some of the Media Gateways currently available on the market dont support SPC function. In this case, it is required to extract the O&M timeslots from the Ater links at TC side. Consequently, a dedicated router is used for grooming all these extracted timeslots into either an IP flow or an E1 flow depending on interfaces available at Media Gateway site. When Media Gateway communicates with other sites through an IP network, the IP O&M flow will be routed via the IP network up to the OMC-R site. In case of network made partially or totally of 9120 BSC, another router at OMC-R site will be required in order to transform the O&M flow into its original X25 protocol terminated into the OMC-R.

The router B located at OMC-R site is fully similar with the one used for the MSC case. This is a router Type1. In case the Media Gateway does not support SPC function, the router A located at Media Gateway site (same site as the MFS) is dedicated to groom/un-groom E1 TS extracted from the TC and has: up to 64 serial interfaces connected to same number of MT120 boards. The MT120 boards can be located into several TCs. 1 Ethernet interface to connect to the IP network: all E1 TS are groomed/ungroomed to/from Ethernet link routed through the IP backbone of the customer to/from the OMC-R site. In case MediaGateway supports SPC function, no need of router A at MGw site.
