Research on Information Models and Modelling Methods of the New Generation of OSS for Data Management

Abstract

In order to build the information model of the new generation of Operation Support System (OSS), we firstly point out that OSS is currently entering the era of big data management, and the Telco Operators are now facing big challenges. We then summarize the difficulties to build the OSS unified information model. After that, the paper surveys the existing information models, and modelling methodologies for OSS, and analyzes their applicability, advantages, as well as disadvantages. Finally, the idea of building the OSS unified information model is put forward. Moreover, the modelling idea has been applied in practice.

Development and Evaluation of a Big Data Framework for Performance Management in Mobile Networks

“…Lind and Wang [27] describe the importance of building an unified information model for an Operations Support System (OSS). They highlight that NMS is currently entering the era of Big Data management, and telecommunication operators are now facing great challenges.…”
