In UTRA, FDD repeaters have proven to be useful for coverage adjustments and interference mitigation. This is expected to remain also in E-UTRA, however it may pose new or different requirements on the repeaters. RAN4 has developed core and conformance specifications for LTE FDD repeaters.

The E-UTRAN system is defined by 3GPP with different Network Elements from the UTRAN. The Network Resource Model (NRM) of the UTRAN is not applicable to E-UTRAN.

The E-UTRAN system needs to be managed. 3GPP network management paradigm necessitates the standardization of the representations of various managed resources. The standardization of the E-UTRAN system managed resources is captured in the so-called E-UTRAN Network Resource Model (NRM).

The E-UTRAN architecture and capabilities evolve from those defined for UMTS. The management of the E-UTRAN system should also evolve from that for managing UMTS. In particular, the NRM for E-UTRAN should align and resemble those specified for UTRAN network resources.

The alignment of E-UTRAN NRM with UTRAN NRM leads to the following benefits:

• The system architecture of E-UTRAN evolves from UTRAN and the existing UTRAN NRM is proven in operation. Therefore, the alignment will result in a specification that has a higher chance of being bug-free when compared to a "brand new" designed specification.

• It will minimise both the standardization and product development efforts and maintenance efforts (i.e. the cost and time for development including testing and reduction of training cost when the management paradigms for E-UTRAN and UTRAN remained similar);

• It will shorten the time to market for E-UTRAN system;

• It will facilitate a seamless coexistence with UMTS management systems.

TS 32.76x-series define the E-UTRAN NRM IRP using the same principles as for the UTRAN NRM. It has identical characteristics as those defined for other NRMs such as UTRAN/GSM NRM(s). The DN of its instances uses the same name convention as all instances whose IOCs are defined in various NRM IRPs. Its IOCs integrate identically with other NRM (e.g. UMTS/GSM NRM IRP) with the IOCs defined in Generic NRM IRP.
