Abstract As the wireless market matures and enters the personal communication era, users will be presented with an exciting array of new, global voice, data, video, and multimedia services. Providers of these services will be hard pressed to utilize new and expensive technologies, and provide high quality service at rates that are economical enough to attract the large customer base that would make these services viable. This implies that many diverse network resources must be optimally utilized and managed. Service providers would need to manage their entire network in an integrated, end-to-end fashion, with minimal technical staffing and expertise. Smart, real time, Network Management (NM), thus, is becoming ever more important for the realization and viability of Personal Communication Services. This paper will examine network management for these emerging services, compared with current wired (i.e., nonwireless) and cellular wireless NM. We will compare NM in both the AMPS and GSM standards, and examine the NM needs of future wireless technologies. We conclude with our view of the directions that NM will take over the next few years.
