3 ITU-T Focus Group IMT-2020 Deliverables

Control Plane Resource Monitoring and Analytics

The Control Plane Resource Monitoring and Analytics (CP-RMA) functional element is responsible for
collecting the status and events of CP resources and analyzing them for the purpose of performance, fault,
and security management and provides capabilities for:

• monitoring the activities, status, anomalous events of the control resources in the CP of the
underlying IMT-2020 networks

• analyzing the monitored data and providing reports on the behavior of the resources, which can take
the form of alerts for behavior which has a time-sensitive aspect (e.g., the occurrence of a fault, the
completion of a task), or it can take the form of aggregated forms of historical data (e.g., resource
usage data);
• storing and retrieving monitored data and analysis reports as logging records in the CP Resource
Repository

Control Plane Configuration Management
The Control Plane Configuration Management (CP-CM) functional element is responsible for configuration
management of the CP and provides capabilities for:
• provisioning control resources in the CP
• scaling in/out of control resources based on the demand and availability

Control Plane Fault Management

The Control Plane Fault Management (CP-FM) functional element is responsible for fault management of the
CP and provides capabilities for:

• detecting anomalous events which cause failure of the CP resources
• analyzing a root cause of the failure of the CP resources
• generating failure resolving policies and interact with control and provisioning functional
components for the actual healing actions.

Control Plane Performance Management
The Control Plane Performance Management (CP-PM) functional element is responsible for ensuring
performance of the CP resources in the CP and provides capabilities for monitoring and ensuring performance
of the CP resources based on the given KPIs.
Control Plane Security Management

The Control Plane Security Management (CP-SM) functional element is an optional functional element is
responsible for security management of CP and provides capabilities for:
• providing authentication and authorization capabilities of CP
• detecting and avoiding anomalous attacks towards CP

• storing and providing APIs for query the contents discovered by the CP-RD
• storing and providing APIs for query the contents generated by the CP-RMA

• lifecycle management of the contents in the repository (e.g., creation by storing, modification,
deletion, etc.)
