IntroductionSummary of IRP (Integration Reference Point) concept • Towards the goal of embracing multiple interface technologies (CORBA, CMIP, SNMP, WBEM……) 3GPP SA5 has developed the concept of Integration Reference Points (IRPs) - enablers for application integration. • IRPs define the point of information exchange and the communication protocol(s) used between management systems/applications and external entities using standard technologies. CORBA = Common Object Request Broker Architecture CMIP = Common Management Information Protocol SNMP = Simple Network Management Protocol WBEM = Web Based Enterprise Management
The Cornerstones of the IRP concept • Top-down, process-driven modelling approach The purpose of each IRP is automation of one specific task, related to the TMF Telecom Operations MAP (TOM). This allows taking a "one step at a time" approach with a focus on the most important tasks. • Protocol-independent modellingEach IRP consists of a protocol-independent model (the IRP information model) and several protocol-dependent models (IRP solution sets). • Standard based protocol dependent modellingModels in different IRP solution sets (CORBA, CMIP, SNMP, WBEM etc.) are "hand crafted" to the specifics of the corresponding protocol environment.

IRP Components - 1 • IRP Information Model • An IRP Information Model consists of an IRP Information Service and a ResourceModel ( see below fordefinitions of IRP Information Service and Resource Model ). • IRP Information Service: • An IRP Information Service describes the information flow andsupport objects fora certain functional area, e. g. the alarm information service in the faultmanagement area. As an example of support objects, for the Alarm IRP there isthe alarm recordandalarm list . • Resource Model: • A protocol independent model describing managed object s representing networkresources, e.g. an RNC or NodeB. • IRP Solution Set: • An IRP Solution Set is a mapping of the IRP Information Service to one of severaltechnologies ( CORBA/ IDL, SNMP/ SMI, CMIP/ GDMO, etc.). An IRP InformationService can be mapped to several different IRP Solution Sets. Differenttechnology selections may be done for different IRP’s.

Alarm IRP Introduction • Supports the Alarm Surveillance service component of Fault Management. • Defines four types of alarm notifications: • New alarm. • Changed alarm. • Cleared alarm. • Alarm list rebuilt. • Alarm notification attributes: • Attributes and values based on M.3100, X.733, X.736, GSM 12.11. • Mandatory attributes of X.733 alarm notification supported. • Added to X.733 alarm notification attributes: • Alarm ID, System name. • Acknowledgement and comments related values added to additional_info attribute

Alarm IRP Information Service – 2 Support Objects - Alarm List and Alarm Record • Alarm list: A list of alarm objects or alarm records whose alarm information is active (i.e., the severity level is not cleared). • Alarm Record : Contains the following attributes: • Alarm Id [M] • System Name [M] • Managed Object Class [M] • Managed Object Instance [M] • Event Time [M] • Event Type [M] • Probable Cause [M] • Perceived Severity [M] • Specific Problems [O] • Correlated Notifications [O] • Additional Text [O] • Additional Info [O]

A Co-operative agreement is in place between the 3GPP Telecom Management group and the 3GPP2 OAM&P group, Under this agreement 3GPP2 will reference the 3GPP IRP specifications. The 3GPP IRP specifications have been used in the development of the Common Configuration Management Catalyst Showcase at TMF, and CCM work is being used to feedback into the IRP specifications. Co-operative Efforts
