Basic Concepts

Logical Structure

Basic Concepts
Telecommunication Management Network (TMN), set by ITU-T
since 1985, is the international standard of telecommunication
network management. TMN is independent of telecommunication
network and has its own network management, making TMN
running, management, and maintenance simple, standard, and
automatic.
TMN is based on a unified system architecture with a series of
standard interfaces. It provides an organized network structure
to make different Network Management System (NMS) to
interconnect with telecommunication equipments, providing
various management functions.

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

NetNumenM32 (V1.00) Integrated Network Operation System Technical Manual

TMN size can be large or small. Generally, TMN has several


different
NMSs.
Through
different
interfaces
with
telecommunication network, TMN receives information of the
telecommunication network to control the telecommunication
network running.

Logical Structure
The logical hierarchical structure of OMC system network
management is based on TMN management framework, as
shown in Figure 1.

According to TMN standards, telecommunication


management is divided into four layers:

network

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

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

Chapter 1 - System Overview

This layer provides management functions for decisions of


the entire telecommunication enterprise. Users of this layer
are the enterprises 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 Features

Basic Concepts
NetNumenM32 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, NetNumenM32 Integrated
Operation System is called as OMC system for short.

Network

OMC system is strictly designed according to TMN standards. It


can be expanded and transplanted flexibly, and is highly faulttolerant. OMC system provides Common Object Request Broker
Architecture (CORBA) interface to upper level and supports
cascading among multiple OMC systems.

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

NetNumenM32 (V1.00) Integrated Network Operation System Technical Manual

System Structure
MINOS adopts the distributed client/server architecture as
shown in Figure 2.
FIGURE 2 OMC SYSTRM DISTRIBUTED APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE

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.

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

Chapter 1 - System Overview

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 TDSCDMA, 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

IPOA management or BSC management. Figure 3 shows the


connection relationship between OMC system and NEs.
FIGURE 3 CONNECTIONS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OMC SYSTEM AND NES

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

ETHERNET

The basic server configuration has low requirement for cost, and
the reliability is comparatively low.
In this configuration solution, independent RAID storage device
is configured for the server to realize RAID1 or RAID5 backup,
which improves the system reliability.

Dual-Server Hot Backup


Configuration
In dual-server hot backup configuration, two mutual-backup
servers are used together to implement the same service. Of the
two servers, one is primary server and the other is standby
server.
In normal cases, the primary server provides service for
application system and the standby server monitors the primary

Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

servers running status (the primary server also detects whether


the standby server works normally). If the primary server works
abnormally, the standby server works as the primary server to
guarantee system running continuously.
Figure 5 shows the dual-server hot backup configuration solution.

OMC System
Components

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 ManMachine 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:
f

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.

OMC System

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.

There are several transmission modes available for noncascaded 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.
Topological
Structure

Transmission
Bandwidth

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(328kc, 564.8WRNCNum,


564.8TDRNCNum, 510.4GSMCellNum)
The following introduces two non-cascaded remote networking
modes:

DDN Private
Line Mode

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.

Mode

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.

FIGURE 13 NON-CASCADED COMBINED NETWORKING (DDN MODE)

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 lowerlevel 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 NonCascaded Networking for details of connection methods between
server and clients.
