Abstract :
The wireless market can be divided into mobile/cellular and fixed wireless. The mobile/cellular world is progressively transitioning from 2G (e.g. GSM, 2G-CDMA) to 2.5G (e.g. GPRS, 2.G-CDMA) to 3G (e.g. CDMA-2000, UMTS) technologies. The broadband fixed wireless technology is targeted as one of the “last mile” services available to residents and businesses. It typically requires a licensed frequency with a specific frequency range. A typical broadband fixed wireless system consists of a hub system servicing multiple subscriber end systems over a wireless radio frequency (RF). Examples of fixed wireless solutions include the Multi-channel Multi-point Distribution System (MMDS) and the Local Multi-point Distribution System (LMDS). This paper defines the OSS architecture, based on the Telecom Operation Map framework of the TeleManagement Forum, for mobile and fixed wireless networks. This include the FCAPS five functional areas: fault configuration management, accounting performance management, and management, management, management as well as service restoration, engineering, data collection, service activation, and network planning. The proposed architecture will give service providers the capability to manage their next generation networks in a way that gives them FCAPS in a way that best suits the technology and their business processes
