Abstract
In a network Performance Measurement (PM) model, network equipment (10) maintains (102) a ManagedElement object. The ManagedElement object contains one or more ManagedFunction objects which perform and report measurements. Each ManagedFunction object has one or more Measurement objects (106) that specifies a measurement, and lists a reporting period. The ManagedElement object contains a PMControl object (104), which specifies the reporting mode and includes an administrative state attribute of the ManagedElement object that is controlled by the network management system (20). The ManagedElement object controls (110) an operational state attribute of the PMControl object based on resources to perform the measurement and access to the relevant reporting mechanism (108). When both states of the PMControl object are set to a functional value (112), the ManagedFunction objects perform (114) and report (118) the results of measurement specified in associated Measurement objects.
