SummaryWith the continuous development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the application of intelligent maintenance robots (IMRs) in the field of telecommunication smart maintenance (TSM) is increasing. Recommendation ITU-T M.3164.1 provides the requirements for the interface between the IMR-based smart patrol system (IbSPS) and the telecommunication smart maintenance system (TSMS) at a protocol-neutral level. It describes the position of the relevant interface and specifies the high-level requirements for interface interaction, as well as the specification level use cases for each requirement. |
