Technical Overview of OSS and BSS in NGNs: This section begins
with an introduction to OSS and BSS and their roles in the
operator environment. It explains the various blocks that go into
building of the OSS: Network elements, events, alarms and others.
It next explains the BSS building blocks: Billing, rating, mediation,
charging, customer care and others. This section is followed by
the description of prevalent industry approaches like TMN -
FCAPS model that are widely followed by operators. The section
then analyzes the technical impact of NGN on OSS and BSS
architectures.
Vendor Analysis: Profiles of vendors offering OSS/BSS products
and services for next generation networks. This section first
explains the basis of vendor selection including vendor
classification, innovative contribution, market leadership position
and future growth path.
