Abstract:

A new method of the performance measurement definition is presented based on unified telecommunication management network （TMN） requirements, analysis and design (UTRAD) methodology . The method including four steps describes the action and process of each step, introduces the measurement definition communities and their roles in each step, and meets the performance measurement requirements of every management layer. It also indicates how the performance measurement requirements can be transformed into the performance measurements. Compared with the existing methods, meanwhile, the method inherits some useful properties from the existing methods, abandons some improper properties and presents some new properties.

Key words: network management, performance management, performance measurements
