According to TMN standards, telecommunication network management is divided into four layers:

NE management layer

This layer realizes operation and management for one or more NEs. Users of this layer are equipment operation and maintenance personnel.

Network management layer

This layer provides comprehensive management functions for various types of NEs in different network. Users of this layer are telecommunication network organizers and supervisors.

Service management layer

This layer performs functions relevant to telecommunication services, including service providing, service control and monitoring, and service charge. Users of this layer are service operators.

Business management layer

Page 15: Sjzl20072647-NetNumen M32 (V1[1].00) Technical Manual

Chapter 1 - System Overview

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 3

This layer provides management functions for decisions of the entire telecommunication enterprise. Users of this layer are the enterprise’s highest decision-maker.

TMN also performs a series of modularized management functions for telecommunication network and telecommunication services, including:

Performance management

Configuration management

Accounting management

Fault management

Security management

System Structure

System Features

Basic Concepts

NetNumen™M32 Integrated Network Operation System is Operation and Maintenance Center – Radio (OMCR) for ZTE mobile radio products. It is also called as Mobile Integrated Network Operating System (MINOS). Through this system, users can implement daily operation and maintenance for NEs, and perform centralized and unified network management functions for various types of NEs.

Note:

In this document, NetNumen™M32 Integrated Network Operation System is called as OMC system for short.

OMC system is strictly designed according to TMN standards. It can be expanded and transplanted flexibly, and is highly fault-tolerant. OMC system provides Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) interface to upper level and supports cascading among multiple OMC systems.

System Structure

MINOS adopts the distributed client/server architecture as shown in Figure 2.

F I G U R E 2 – OMC S Y S T R M D I S T R I B U T E D AP P L I C AT I O N AR C H I T E C T U R E

The application server directly establishes communication connection with radio network subsystem to satisfy various application requirements. The client only functions as an interface for user to input instructions and view output results.

System Features

OMC system has the following features:

It adopts client/server architecture. The application server establishes communication connection with radio network subsystem to satisfy various application requirements. The client only functions as an interface for users to input instructions and view output results.

The server can run on UNIX or Windows platform. It supports many databases such as Oracle and Sybase.

System software is divided into modules. Different modules can run on different machines according to actual requirements to enhance system processing capabilities.

Page 17: Sjzl20072647-NetNumen M32 (V1[1].00) Technical Manual

Chapter 1 - System Overview

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 5

OMC system also supports Network Management (NM) cascading or interconnection, which facilitates organizing and managing the network in some large engineering sites.

The entire system architecture design follows the TMN system architecture requirement specified by ITU-T.

It realizes centralized management for multiple types of NEs and supports accessing 40 equivalent NEs at maximum. It also satisfies maintenance and management requirements for WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, and 2G mobile communication systems.

System functions are designed according to TMN specifications and 3GPP specifications. More value-added functions are provided for users in addition to the standard management functions. All these functions are organized in a way that management objects are taken as the core assisted by many management tools.

It provides various external interfaces including NMC management interface. Specific forms of NMC interface depend on NMC requirements, and CORBA interface, SNMP interface, database and file interface are available now. It also supports TeMIP alarm access and collecting Optima performance data.

It supports GUI and character operating interface, and supports MML commands.

The entire system running status can be monitored through network topology map. The topology map is divided into different levels, such as global network topology and local topology. Alarms within the global network can be displayed in real time in both the topology map and the rack view. System gives different audio/visual prompt for different alarm level. Performance data of the entire network are managed in a centralized way, which facilitates query, statistics and report generation.

Network Element (NE)

OMC system manages many types of radio network subsystems, including WCDMA, TD-SCDMA and GSM, and the NEs it manages include RNC and Node B in WCDMA, RNC and Node B in TD-SCDMA, and BSC and BTS in GSM.

OMC system connects the actual NE equipment through NE proxy. The NE proxy shields differences between various NEs, collects NE data and reports them to OMC, and converts requests issued by OMC system to instructions that can be processed by the actual NE.

The NE proxy directly connects with RNC or BSC in the radio network subsystem and performs site management through

Note:

Generally, the management objects of NMS are called as ‘Foreground’, which refers to all real equipments and system objects managed by NMS.

The software system used to manage ‘Foreground’ is called as ‘Background’, which performs monitoring and management for the foreground equipments and management objects. OMC system is sometimes referred to as ‘Background’ in this manual.

As shown in Figure 5, there are two NM servers: a primary server and a standby server. Database information is saved in the independent RAID storage device. When the primary server works abnormally, the standby server reads data from RAID and works as the primary server.

Server Hardware Configuration Calculation Formula

For every 1000 cells, at least one CPU is required.

For the basic server configuration:

Memory size = 1.36 MB × the number of cells + 1.35 GB

The disk size required in OMC system is relevant to the accessed NE type.

For accessed WCDMA NE:

Disk size = 147.2 MB × the number of cells + 9.6 GB

For accessed TD-SCDMA NE:

Disk size = 118 MB × the number of cells + 9.5 GB

For accessed GSM NE:

Disk size = 84 MB × the number of cells + 12.6 GB

J2EE framework, which is easily expanded, is suitable for large enterprise-level distributed applications. OMC system design strictly follows TMN standard and adopts J2EE framework in software structure.

Based on J2EE, OMC system conveniently realizes load balance, and supports online capacity expansion, that is, adding new servers and managed NEs during running process. Moreover, the distributed architecture also enhances the system fault tolerant capability. On the other hand, the TMN-based software design guarantees OMC system to interconnect and communicate with other NMSs.

Software Model

OMC system software is divided into three layers:

Platform Support Layer (PSL)

Platform Framework Layer (PFL)

Platform Application Layer (PAL)

System components are described as follows:

Server

It is the core of OMC system and performs system management functions. OMC client communicates with the server and exchanges information with NEs through the server.

Server configuration depends on actual requirements, and should guarantee enough processing capability, reliable data storage and satisfactory response time.

Client

It provides two forms for users: command line and Man-Machine Interface (MMI). User performs NE management functions and monitors and manages OMC system through the client. Multiple clients can work at the same time in OMC system.

According to the connected server and the physical position of managed NE, there are three client types:

Local client, which is in the same LAN as the connected server.

Remote client, which is in the remote LAN and there is no NE in the remote LAN

Migration client, which is in the remote LAN and there is NE in the remote LAN.

Networking equipment

It is used to connect OMC system and the foreground NE system or upper-level NMC. Networking equipments include hub used in local networking and router and transmission equipments used in remote networking.

The following three parts are performed for OMC system configurations:

Server configuration: CPU, memory, disk, and RAID devices;

Client configuration: CPU, memory, and disk;

Networking configuration: local networking and remote networking.

Non-Cascaded Networking

There are three types of non-cascaded networking modes:

Local networking

Remote networking

Combined networking

Local Networking

It is the simplest networking mode for OMC system. In this mode, it is required that OMC system and the managed NEs are physically in the same location, in other words, OMC server, OMC client, and NE are in the same LAN, and are interconnected through Ethernet.

Remote Networking

There are three circumstances for non-cascaded remote networking:

Client is remote

NE is remote

Both client and NE are remote

There are several transmission modes available for non-cascaded remote networking, such as DDN private line, E1 transmission, and HDSL. Considering that the maximum bandwidth of X.25 is 64 kbps, it is not recommended to use X.25.

Although there are many remote networking forms, their basic network topological structure is similar and is of the same principle. Specific transmission equipments are used to connect WAN and standard interfaces are used between transmission equipments and routers. LAN consists of router, hub, NE, server, and client. Therefore, OMC system can adopt any remote networking mode that is supported by transmission equipment and router.

The transmission bandwidth for remote networking depends on actual conditions. According to OMC system design, performance requirements and data flow, the bandwidth calculation formula is as follows:

Given the following preconditions:

Number of clients: c

Number of WRNCs managed by server: WRNCNum

Number of TDRNCs managed by server: TDRNCNum

Number of GSM cells managed by server: GSMCellNum

Transmission bandwidth (bps) = max(328k×c, 564.8×WRNCNum, 564.8×TDRNCNum, 510.4×GSMCellNum)

The following introduces two non-cascaded remote networking modes:

DDN private line mode

E1 transmission mode

Digital Data Network (DDN) is stable and reliable, with high transmission rate from 64 kbps to 2 Mbps.

DDN adopts router + baseband modem solution: it accesses the router through hub at the server, the router then connects leased line through baseband modem; the remote client accesses leased line through Ethernet interface with the same method.

The transmission rate of remote RNC baseband modem and leased DDN private line depends on the required bandwidth, which is determined by the local network management. Refer to Transmission Bandwidth for details.

When transmitting IP packets through 2 Mbps E1 cable, timeslot extracting device is required at both ends of E1 cable. The maximum transmission rate of each timeslot is 64 kbps. Transmission rate can be increased by adopting channel technology, i.e. occupying N timeslots simultaneously to increase the transmission rate to be N × 64 kbps. E1 transmission mode adopts router and E1 module as timeslot extracting device, enabling reliable and stable system performance.

Centralized Cascaded Networking

If the network size is very large, multiple cascading servers can be adopted to realize networking. The lower-level server manages local network, responds network requests and performs data processing. The upper-level server connects with multiple lower-level servers, processes messages from lower-level servers and requests from upper-level clients, and manages the entire network through lower-level servers.

According to physical connection relations between upper-level server and lower-level server, there are two cascaded networking modes:

Local networking

Remote networking

Local Networking

In local cascaded networking mode, upper-level server and lower-level server are in the same local network. Refer to Non-Cascaded Networking for details of connection methods between server and clients.

Software version management module supports displaying and querying all NEs’ software version information in OMC system. It performs the following functions:

Displays version information

It displays information of the current software version, including user ID, version number, version packet type, integrity ID, number of version files.

Displays version packet file information

It displays information in list form: the time of various operations on the current software version, sub-network and managed NEs the version belongs to.

Version warehousing

Through version warehousing, version files are loaded from client to server and NE, meanwhile, the version information is registered at server.

Version download

Through version download, version files are directly downloaded to the board from NE’s main control board. The downloaded version must be the one that has been warehoused.

Version activation

After downloading version, only those version files that have been activated and downloaded to the board can be validated.
