The present document is part of a TS-family covering the 3rd Generation Partnership Project: Technical Specification Group Services and System Aspects; Telecommunication management; as identified below:
32.111-1
"Fault Management; Part 1: 3G fault management requirements".
32.111-2
"Fault Management; Part 2: Alarm Integration Reference Point (IRP): Information Service (IS)".
32.111-6
"Fault Management; Alarm Integration Reference Point (IRP); Solution Set (SS) definitions".
The present document is part of a TS-family, which describes the requirements and information model necessary for Telecommunications Management (TM). The TM principles and TM architecture are specified in
TS 32.101 and
TS 32.102.
A communications system is composed of a multitude of Network Elements (NE) of various types and, typically, different vendors, which inter-operate in a coordinated manner in order to satisfy the network users' communication requirements.
The occurrence of faults in an NE may cause deterioration or loss of this NE's function. Fault Management is the functional area, which allows the operator to detect the occurrence of faults in the network in real-time. Configuration Management and Performance Management are two more functional areas, which require the operator to be alerted to certain conditions in the network.
A standard general-purpose mechanism for the management of logs containing selected notifications from the network is required to provide an ability to perform historical analysis on faults and conditions, which occurred in the network. The TS 32.33x-series, constituting the Notification Log IRP, sets forth such a mechanism - and Annex B of the present document contains the XML definition related to Alarm IRP notifications.
The present document contains the Solution Sets for the IRP whose semantics is specified in Alarm IRP: Information Service (
TS 32.111-2).
These Solution Set specifications are related to
TS 32.111-2 V14. 0.X.
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
-
References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non-specific.
-
For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
-
For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.

IRP document version number string
The IRP document version number (sometimes called "IRP version" or "version number") string is used to identify the present document. The definition of "IRP document version number string" in
TS 32.311 provides the rule to derive such a string.
This string is used for the return value of get_alarm_irp_versions(). It is used as return value of get_notification_categories() if the Notification IRP supports the emission of notifications defined by this Alarm IRP version. It is also used in the domain_name attribute of a structured event carrying alarm information defined by this Alarm IRP version.
For the purposes of the present document, the following abbreviations apply:
CORBA
Common Object Request Broker Architecture
IDL
Interface Definition Language
IRP
Integration Reference Point
IS
Information Service
MOC
Managed Object Class
MOI
Managed Object Instance

This specification defines the following 3GPP Alarm IRP Solution Set Definitions:
Annex A provides the CORBA Solution Set.
Annex B provides the XML Definitions.
Annex C provides the SOAP Solution Set.
