3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document, the terms given in [i.1] and the following apply:
Information Model: a representation of concepts and the relationships, constraints, rules, and operations to specify data
semantics for a chosen domain of discourse, it specifies relations between objects, can provide sharable, stable, and organized
structure of information requirements or knowledge for the domain context.
Data Model: an abstract model that organizes elements of data and standardizes how they relate to one another and to the
properties of real-world entities. The term data model may refer to two distinct but closely related concepts: (1) an abstract
formalization of the objects and relationships found in a particular application domain; (2) the set of concepts used in defining
such formalizations - for example concepts such as entities, attributes, relations, or tables.

5.3.5 NESPolicy
5.3.5.1 Definition
The NESPolicy IOC represents the policy for network energy saving (NES) for the NR Cell(s) managed by the O-DU.
When the NES Policy is created or updated by receiving a NES policy file, the NESPolicy MOI shall be created by MnS
producer (O-DU) when it successfully receives NES policy file. The attribute policyId represents the unique identifier of the
policy, corresponding to the policy file. The NES policy is applicable for the energy saving in the downlink.
An NES policy can be associated with none, one or more NR Cell(s) (i.e., NRCellDU) of the O-DU. When an NES policy is
associated to none of NR Cell(s) (i.e., the DN of the NESPolicy MOI is not referenced in attribute
configuredNesPolicyList of any NESPolicyRelation MOIs), the O-DU shall not consider the policy for
evaluation.

O-RAN.WG10.TS.O1NRM-R004-v02.00
The NESPolicy MOI corresponding to NES policy related to TRx Control (RF Channel Reconfiguration) based energy
saving contains attribute policyType with value TRX_CONTROL. The attributes antennaMask and sleepMode
provide the values from the NES policy file for the TRx control based energy saving.
The NESPolicy MOI corresponding to NES policy related to advanced sleep mode based energy saving contains attribute
policyType with value ASM. The attribute sleepMode provides the value from the NES policy file for the advanced
sleep mode based energy saving.
The MnS consumer shall be able to configure the time window(s) when this NES policy is applicable, using the attribute
applicableTimeWindows of corresponding NESPolicy MOI. Multiple time windows can be configured for the policy
using the attribute applicableTimeWindows. If the applicableTimeWindows is not present or if the
startTime and endTime of any element of the list attribute applicableTimeWindows are configured with the same
values, then O-DU shall not use the time condition for the policy, i.e., the policy is applicable without time condition. Setting
overlapping time windows in the same NESPolicy MOI may cause undefined behavior.
5.3.5.2 Attributes
The NESPolicy IOC includes attributes inherited from Top IOC (defined in 3GPP TS 28.622 [3], clause 4.3.29) and the
following attributes:
5.3.5.4 Notifications
The common notifications defined in clause 5.5 are valid for this class, without exceptions or additions.
5.3.6 NESPolicyRelation
5.3.6.1 Definition
The NESPolicyRelation IOC represents the NES policies configured for the NR Cell. NESPolicyRelation MOI
with attribute configuredNesPolicyList with an empty list is invalid.
