The number of managed devices is orders of magnitude larger which means that the frequency of interaction between the device and the management server needs to go down. The frequency of interaction needs to be controllable from the management application and the communication pattern needs to be robust against communication failures.

Wireless base stations have large associated data models. The same level of detail for Small Cells cannot be maintained because the increased number of devices. In addition, a large part of the configuration is quasi-static. Small Cell devices work with a mixed TR-069 model that consists of

� Parameters that are manageable automatically

� Parameters that are grouped into profiles .

A Small Cell network is an UMTS network requiring constant tuning. The Small Cell must be as autonomous as possible � introduction of network listening and Self-Optimization.

MOCN – Multi-Operator Core Network PLMN – Public Land Mobile NetworkRAN – Radio Access Network SC – Small Cell

Multiple core network operators can share SC access network based on the network sharing agreement between them.

MOCN is a solution where two (or more) operators share some common RAN in certain areas or even in the whole network but do not share their core networks. Until BCR 4.3, SC Solution was capable of supporting connection to only one operator core network nodes based on ‘one operator, one RAN’ principle.

The implementation of MOCN allows multiple core network operators to share SC Solution and its NEs (SC, BSR GW, SCMS) in a shared area based on UTRAN network sharing principles. One specific CN operator may also have several pooled MSCs/SGSNs connected to the SC Solution and this functionality will be supported in combination of Iu-flex function already available in SC NEs.

For supporting UEs, SC/BSR GW routes to one CN based on UE selection, while for non-supporting UEs, SC/BSRGW routes to one CN. If rejected by 1st CN, rerouting done on 2nd CN

There are many RAN sharing scenarios possible depending on MOCN operator strategies, rules & legislation in different countries. Some of the examples are:

� Operator without an UMTS license can share other operator RAN network and provide 3G services to its customers

� A geographically split network, where cooperating operators can cover different parts of a country

� Infrastructure sharing, where same RAN can provide service to many operators, thus avoiding the necessity of deploying RAN per operator.

The Small Cell MS manages the BSR Gateway:� FM: Network Banner and Network Health Indicator, Resource Browser, Alarm Manager, 9 alarms rule

set, Managed and un-managed alarm stream switch off/on for ease of supervision, Audible alarm, Historical Fault Browser, 3GPP R6 FM

� PM files collection:� automatic collection of the PM counters files by WMS. The BSR GW generates its counters in

XML PM Format. These files are collected by WMS and stored in WMS (or any location that the user has provisioned). The storage duration is 3 days plus the current day and the native purge mechanism of WMS purges the files after this period.

� CM: WPS support of the BSR GW, WPS checks and XML2CLI conversion� Administration : SW management, Reach through B&R and Inventory management

� Software management: a GUI wizard is introduced to speed up the new software version of BSR GW devices. The operator is driven through the various steps of the wizard to choose the relevant software version to apply, the targeted list of BSR GW, etc

� SW inventory: a GUI window is introduced that displays the SW version of the BSR GW devices connected to Small Cell MS. From this GUI, the operator has the ability to fallback to the previous edition of the BSR GW in a single click

� Reach Through: WMS provides the possibility to launch the CLI of the BSR GW from the related icon

� B&R and HW Inventory.

XML – eXtended Markup Language

To beneficiate from the WPS basic toolset for the BSR Gateway configuration (tabular editor, CM XML import/export, workorder synchronization, configuration audit, copy/paste, template management, model check…), WPS supports the CM XML Model of the BSR GW.

In addition, to ensure the consistency of the BSR Gateway configuration, WPS implements a set of enhanced checks related to the BSR GW and its interfaces.

WPS Small Cells allows also to configure the BSR Gateway by using the large set of WPS basic configuration capabilities. WPS provides conversion mechanism between WMS/WPS CM XML data model format and CLI/BulkCM format supported by the BSR Gateway.

In previous release WPS support of BSR GW is limited to CLI parameters. This new feature (83247) provides full configuration support of BSR GW including CLI parameters and Bulk CM parameters.

WPS will support

� Pre-provision BSR GW (i.e.) generate and deploy BSR GW initial configuration from a predefined WPS template.

� BulkCM attributes/objects configuration of a BSR GW using WPS

� CLI attributes/objects configuration of a BSR GW using WPS.

� Model Consistency Checks

� WPS basic functionalities with respect to BSR GW (Copy, paste, templates, Clone Workorders, etc)

� full support of the CM functions for BSR GW using SNMP.

Software download tools are available for the BSR GW and can be launched directly from the NSP.

� Software can be easily downloaded to BSR GW using the software download and activation wizard.

� WMS includes also a software inventory window, which lists all the BSR Gateways of the network and their current software running and fallback version.

� From the menu bar of WMS NSP GUI, choose Configuration > Radio Access > Software > Inventory & Upgrade Session.

In addition to 3GPP R6 support, this new BCR4.0 feature brings in following enhancements with respect to SmallCell Itf-NDN for alarms forwarded from Small Cell MS to OSS

� Itf-NDN reflects the CM containment hierarchy unlike Small Cell MS3.0 where only the Cluster DN is used.

� Flexibility for operators to configure the Small Cell identifier used in Itf-NDN. Following SmallCellidentifiers are supported

� femtoid (SmallCell identifier used in WMS)

� OUI-FSN (SmallCell manufacturer OUI + serial number)

� bsrName (value of bsrName attribute of the SmallCell)

� bsrName + OUI-FSN

FTP – File Transfer Protocol GW – Gateway PM – Performance Management SFTP – Secure File Transfer Protocol WICL – Wireless Internet Command Language OAM - Operations Administration and Maintenance NE – Network Elements QoS – Quality of Service

PM allows you to collect, store and transfer PM data from the NEs. Small Cell Management retrieves the data from the NE using SFTP. The performance data is then pulled from Small Cell Management by the PM post-processing tool over FTP.The PM function provides a remote retrieval system for PM data related to the normal operations of the BSR Gateway. This data is collected and stored on the NE for a specified amount of time and retrieved at periodic intervals by the Small Cell Management.PM files are in 3GPP format. The Small Cell Management does not perform any action on the data collected. It stores this data and makes it available to an upstream network analysis system for compilation with performance data from other NEs.The access network PM applications are in charge of the following actions:

� uploading the raw data from the Network Elements � mediating the raw data collected into the XML format defined by the OAM� post-processing this translated data for viewing and creating tables, graph reports, Geographical

Information System views and call trace analysis.Data collection and mediation are performed through WICL commands. The functional split between sub-systems is as following:

� NEs are in charge of recording data according to a pre-defined Granularity Period and a counter list. One XDR file is generated at the end of every Granularity Period.

� WMS is in charge of collecting data files from the NEs and exporting them in XML format. The WMS is also responsible for network configuration export (CM.xml).

� Manual post-processing. The data can be used for QoS data computation and network performance monitoring.
