Operation Requirements for next generation multi-technology networks were the key topic that brought 3GPP, NGMN and TM Forum together for a workshop held March 29-30 2010 in Bonn.

At the Bonn workshop, the 3GPP Telecom Management working group SA5 presented background data on the SA5 work program to date, much of which meets the needs of the NGMN Top Ten Requirements:

• Quality and Quantity of Alarms
• Automatic Software Management
• Energy Saving
• LTE Automatic Neighbour Relation (ANR) and Self Organizing Networks (SON) Operation
• Performance Management in Real-time
• Substitution of Monitoring Probes by Infrastructure Inherent Trace Functionality
• eNodeB Plug & Play Self-Commissioning
• OSS Standard Itf-N
• LTE Parameter Optimization
• Automatic Inventory
