System Structure
MINOS adopts the distributed client/server architecture as shown in Figure 2.
F I G U R E 2 – OMC S Y S T R M D I S T R I B U T E D AP P L I C AT I O N AR C H I T E C T U R E
The application server directly establishes communication connection with radio network subsystem to satisfy various application requirements. The client only functions as an interface for user to input instructions and view output results.
System Features
OMC system has the following features:
It adopts client/server architecture. The application server establishes communication connection with radio network subsystem to satisfy various application requirements. The client only functions as an interface for users to input instructions and view output results.
The server can run on UNIX or Windows platform. It supports many databases such as Oracle and Sybase.
System software is divided into modules. Different modules can run on different machines according to actual requirements to enhance system processing capabilities.
Chapter 1 - System Overview
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 5
OMC system also supports Network Management (NM) cascading or interconnection, which facilitates organizing and managing the network in some large engineering sites.
The entire system architecture design follows the TMN system architecture requirement specified by ITU-T.
It realizes centralized management for multiple types of NEs and supports accessing 40 equivalent NEs at maximum. It also satisfies maintenance and management requirements for WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, and 2G mobile communication systems.
System functions are designed according to TMN specifications and 3GPP specifications. More value-added functions are provided for users in addition to the standard management functions. All these functions are organized in a way that management objects are taken as the core assisted by many management tools.
It provides various external interfaces including NMC management interface. Specific forms of NMC interface depend on NMC requirements, and CORBA interface, SNMP interface, database and file interface are available now. It also supports TeMIP alarm access and collecting Optima performance data.
It supports GUI and character operating interface, and supports MML commands.
The entire system running status can be monitored through network topology map. The topology map is divided into different levels, such as global network topology and local topology. Alarms within the global network can be displayed in real time in both the topology map and the rack view. System gives different audio/visual prompt for different alarm level. Performance data of the entire network are managed in a centralized way, which facilitates query, statistics and report generation.
Network Element (NE)
OMC system manages many types of radio network subsystems, including WCDMA, TD-SCDMA and GSM, and the NEs it manages include RNC and Node B in WCDMA, RNC and Node B in TD-SCDMA, and BSC and BTS in GSM.
OMC system connects the actual NE equipment through NE proxy. The NE proxy shields differences between various NEs, collects NE data and reports them to OMC, and converts requests issued by OMC system to instructions that can be processed by the actual NE.
The NE proxy directly connects with RNC or BSC in the radio network subsystem and performs site management through

Software Framework
Design Description
J2EE framework, which is easily expanded, is suitable for large enterprise-level distributed applications. OMC system design strictly follows TMN standard and adopts J2EE framework in software structure.
Based on J2EE, OMC system conveniently realizes load balance, and supports online capacity expansion, that is, adding new servers and managed NEs during running process. Moreover, the distributed architecture also enhances the system fault tolerant capability. On the other hand, the TMN-based software design guarantees OMC system to interconnect and communicate with other NMSs.
Software Model
OMC system software is divided into three layers:
Platform Support Layer (PSL)
Platform Framework Layer (PFL)
Platform Application Layer (PAL)
Figure 6 shows the hierarchical model of OMC system software.

F I G U R E 6 – OMC S O F T W AR E H I E R AR C H I C AL M O D E L
The three layers are described as follows:
PSL provides all functions of the bottom layer required by a large distributed system. These functions can be applied in both NMS and various large distributed management systems. PSL mainly performs the following four functions:
J2EE application server
J2EE application server extended function
Standard network management protocol stack
Other general toolkits
Some common software frameworks are extracted to form the layer PFL. All specific management applications are based on part of the layer or the entire layer.
On the basis of PFL, PAL provides specific management functions. All these functions can be disassembled. User can choose to load specific management functions according to actual requirements.

System components are described as follows:
Server
It is the core of OMC system and performs system management functions. OMC client communicates with the server and exchanges information with NEs through the server.
Server configuration depends on actual requirements, and should guarantee enough processing capability, reliable data storage and satisfactory response time.
Client
It provides two forms for users: command line and Man-Machine Interface (MMI). User performs NE management functions and monitors and manages OMC system through the client. Multiple clients can work at the same time in OMC system.
According to the connected server and the physical position of managed NE, there are three client types:
Local client, which is in the same LAN as the connected server.
Remote client, which is in the remote LAN and there is no NE in the remote LAN

Migration client, which is in the remote LAN and there is NE in the remote LAN.
Networking equipment
It is used to connect OMC system and the foreground NE system or upper-level NMC. Networking equipments include hub used in local networking and router and transmission equipments used in remote networking.
The following three parts are performed for OMC system configurations:
Server configuration: CPU, memory, disk, and RAID devices;
Client configuration: CPU, memory, and disk;
Networking configuration: local networking and remote networking.
Non-Cascaded Networking
There are three types of non-cascaded networking modes:
Local networking
Remote networking
Combined networking
Local Networking
It is the simplest networking mode for OMC system. In this mode, it is required that OMC system and the managed NEs are physically in the same location, in other words, OMC server, OMC client, and NE are in the same LAN, and are interconnected through Ethernet.
Figure 10 shows the topological structure of OMC non-cascaded networking mode.

Remote Networking
There are three circumstances for non-cascaded remote networking:
Client is remote
NE is remote
Both client and NE are remote
There are several transmission modes available for non-cascaded remote networking, such as DDN private line, E1 transmission, and HDSL. Considering that the maximum bandwidth of X.25 is 64 kbps, it is not recommended to use X.25.
Although there are many remote networking forms, their basic network topological structure is similar and is of the same principle. Specific transmission equipments are used to connect WAN and standard interfaces are used between transmission equipments and routers. LAN consists of router, hub, NE, server, and client. Therefore, OMC system can adopt any remote networking mode that is supported by transmission equipment and router.
The transmission bandwidth for remote networking depends on actual conditions. According to OMC system design, performance requirements and data flow, the bandwidth calculation formula is as follows:
Given the following preconditions:
Number of clients: c
Number of WRNCs managed by server: WRNCNum
Number of TDRNCs managed by server: TDRNCNum
Number of GSM cells managed by server: GSMCellNum
Transmission bandwidth (bps) = max(328k×c, 564.8×WRNCNum, 564.8×TDRNCNum, 510.4×GSMCellNum)
The following introduces two non-cascaded remote networking modes:
DDN private line mode
E1 transmission mode
Digital Data Network (DDN) is stable and reliable, with high transmission rate from 64 kbps to 2 Mbps.
DDN adopts router + baseband modem solution: it accesses the router through hub at the server, the router then connects leased line through baseband modem; the remote client accesses leased line through Ethernet interface with the same method.

When transmitting IP packets through 2 Mbps E1 cable, timeslot extracting device is required at both ends of E1 cable. The maximum transmission rate of each timeslot is 64 kbps. Transmission rate can be increased by adopting channel technology, i.e. occupying N timeslots simultaneously to increase the transmission rate to be N × 64 kbps. E1 transmission mode adopts router and E1 module as timeslot extracting device, enabling reliable and stable system performance.

Centralized Cascaded Networking
If the network size is very large, multiple cascading servers can be adopted to realize networking. The lower-level server manages local network, responds network requests and performs data processing. The upper-level server connects with multiple lower-level servers, processes messages from lower-level servers and requests from upper-level clients, and manages the entire network through lower-level servers.
According to physical connection relations between upper-level server and lower-level server, there are two cascaded networking modes:
Local networking
Remote networking
Local Networking
In local cascaded networking mode, upper-level server and lower-level server are in the same local network. Refer to Non-Cascaded Networking for details of connection methods between server and clients.
