Study Notes
OSS/BSS in Telecom
- OSS (Operational Support Systems) and BSS (Business Support Systems) are essential for managing telecom networks and services.
- TMN (Telecommunication Management Network) and TMF (TeleManagement Forum) TOM (Telecommunication Operations Model) are frameworks that guide telecom operations.
TMN Model vs TMF (TOM) Model
- The TMN model focuses on the management layer of telecom systems.
- The TMF TOM model provides a standardized approach for capturing telecom business processes and services.
eTOM Concepts & Principles
- Domain: A classification area that groups objects sharing common architectural characteristics.
- Vertical Context: Represents stages in the lifecycle of an enterprise, illustrating process lineage.
- Process Decomposition: Breaks down processes hierarchically, revealing finer details at each decomposition level.
eTOM Level 3 View
- Provides a detailed framework for telecom operations, showcasing interrelations between various business processes and functionalities.
SID - Shared Information and Data
- Domain: Similar to eTOM, it encompasses objects with specific architectural characteristics.
- ABE (Aggregate Business Entities): Defined sets of data and operations representing cohesive, loosely coupled business entities.
- Business Entity: Understandable concepts from a business perspective, characterized by attributes and relationships.
