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:

• TS 32.531: Telecommunication management; Software management; Concepts and Integration Reference Point (IRP) Requirements;
• TS 32.532: Telecommunication management; Software management Integration Reference Point (IRP); Information Service (IS);
• TS 32.536: Telecommunication management; Software management Integration Reference Point (IRP); Solution Set (SS) definitions.

Software Management, in general, provides the operator with the ability to manage effectively the software entities residing in the 3G network. Software Management function is useful especially when there is a need to manage a large number of software residing in the managed elements widely distributed geographically. The main focus is the management of new software releases and correction patches [2]. The software management operations are initiated by the operator or by functions in the Operations Systems (OSs) either on single NE or across several NEs of the 3G network.

The present document specifies the Solution Set definitions for the IRP whose semantics are specified in Software Management IRP Information Service (TS 32.532). This Solution Set definitions specification is related to 3GPP TS 32.532 V14.0.X [5].
