3GPP Working Methodology
3GPP Working methodology
3GPP SA5 follows 3GPP working procedures and cover
related work in multiple stages.
4.1 Overview
Where appropriate, the three-stage methodology defined in ITU-T SA5 stage 0 - Management features
Recommendation I.130 should be employed: studies
(technical reports)
Stage 1 is an overall service description from the user's standpoint.
Stage 2 is an overall description of the organization of the network
SA5 stage 1 - Management requirements
functions to map service requirements into network capabilities. © 3GPP 2012
(technical specifications)
Stage 3 is the definition of switching and signalling capabilities needed
to support services defined in stage 1.
SA5 stage 2 - Management stage 2
In addition, it is often appropriate to perform a feasibility study prior to
protocol agnostic
formal specification work. This is sometimes referred to as "stage 0". (technical specifications)
Furthermore, it will often be appropriate to follow stage 3 with the
production of test specifications – a stage 4.

Summary of Rel-19 topics The following topics may be potentially related to ORIGAMI.
Service based management architecture (SBMA): focuses on elaboration on usage guidance of model driven
service, and also target to provide collection of the management capabilities and advertise management
capability mechanisms.
Intelligence and automation
➢ AI/ML management (AIML) studies the mechanisms of how to enable and facilitate the efficient
deployment, operation of the relevant AI/ML features located in 5GC, RAN or management functions. It is
targeted to provide manageable capability to perceive how AIML model works with lifecycle management,
giving the operator the confidence of taking advantage of AIML technology under their own supervision.
➢ Management data analytics (MDA) investigates the potential management analytics solutions for Energy
efficiency analytics, End-to-End performance analytics including Edge computing domain, Data correlation
analytics, ATSSS performance analytics, UE throughput analytics, Fault management related analytics and
alarm prediction, Software Upgrade Validation.
➢ Intent driven management (IDM) Enhanced management functionalities like Intent negotiation

2012 network intent to support new business opportunities, adopting natural language to express
intent will be discussed. With the new enhancement features, operators could interact with the intent
handler more efficiently and extend the intent capability to support new services.
Charging Management ➢ Closed control loop (CCL) investigates the dynamic closed control loop creation for communication
service assurance, Conflict Detection and Resolution across multiple CCLs. The CCL could be disintegrated
into multiple parts each coming from different vendors.

3. RTCCH
4. CHSEG of network topology and traffic, which can help the operator with efficient end-to-end or single-domain
5. RAGCH fault localization, traffic path optimization, prediction and avoidance of signaling storms.
6. NSCH Support of new services
7. UASCH ➢ Management capability exposure (MExpo) focuses on defining a generic approach for discovery and
8. EESCH exposure of SA5 management service capabilities to external consumers including verticals. The study will
also investigate exposing network slice capability in network sharing scenarios for communicating with
external consumers.
Overview of SA5 Rel-19 topics ➢ Energy efficiency management (EE) new or enhanced Energy Consumption (EC) and Energy Efficiency (EE)
KPIs and measurements while considering various granularities, and also provide the estimation of Carbon
emissions efficiency and information on renewable energy consumption to operators. This study also
addresses how to measure or estimate the energy consumption of containerized network functions.
