16.20.4 OAM Requirements

OAM configures the following for EC reporting:

• The minimum and maximum energy consumption values corresponding to the minimum and maximum EC index values respectively, based on an implementation-specific mapping rule, which is unified within a defined area; and
• The recommended time interval within which an NG-RAN node selects an implementation-specific time window for averaging of the measurements of the NG-RAN node's consumed energy.

OAM may further configure Continuous Management-based MDT as defined in TS 37.320 [71] towards the NG-RAN. OAM provides specific information to the NG-RAN for the NG-RAN to identify Continuous Management-based MDT, as specified in TS 37.320 [71].
