Figure 10 – Application and Service Plane Management functional component

Application and Service Plane Support
The IMT-2020 Application and Service Plane Support (ASP-S) functional element provides a standard
interface to the ASP Management Support, Softwarization & Orchestration for requesting and receiving
management operations and associated information in ASP.
Application and Service Plane Resource Discovery

The Application and Service Plane Resource Discovery (ASP-RD) functional element is responsible for
discovering application and service resources in the ASP and provides capabilities for discovering application
and service resources in the ASP of the managed IMT-2020 networks. The discovered resources are stored in
the ASP Resource Repository.

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

• monitoring the activities, status, anomalous events of the application resources in the ASP 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)
