3 ITU-T Focus Group IMT-2020 Deliverables

Summary

This document describes network management requirements based on the implementation scenario of IMT-
2020. IMT-2020 network management should involve a combination of existing and evolving systems, like
LTE-Advanced, Wi-Fi and Fixed Network, coupled with new, revolutionary technologies designed to meet
new requirements, such as low latency and massive connectivity. To meet those new requirements, the cost
of deployment and operation of such system will increase massively. Network operators need to optimize
CAPEX/OPEX by strategically interacting with multiple technology ecosystems especially for different radio
access technologies. Therefore, network management in IMT-2020 should include both existing network
management requirements as well as evolving network management requirements.
