full_form: Element Management
context: The basic principles of energy efficiency in SON are shown in Figure 6.1.2-1. Figure 6.1.2-1: Energy efficiency in SON in mobile networks Usually a telecom site is composed of main telecom equipment and site infrastructure (such as cooling, building and power environment systems). The main telecom equipment is managed by EM as Network Element (NE). EM is the functional entity provided by the telecom network equipment vendor to monitor and control a set of closely related types of NEs( see TS 32.101 [19]). NM is the functional entity from which the network operator monitors and controls the whole system (composed of multi-vendor and multi-technology network elements and the corresponding telecom sites) at centralized level and manage operational and maintenance activities,(see TS 32.101 [19]). Itf-N is an interface between the Network (EM or NEs with an embedded EM) and NM(see TS 32.101 [19]). Measurement results (energy consumption metrics and performance metrics) of NE are transferred
description: Element Management (EM) is a functional entity responsible for managing and controlling a set of closely related Network Elements (NEs), typically provided by the telecom network equipment vendor. It monitors and controls the main telecom equipment within a site, enabling the management of operational and maintenance activities.
explanation: The context explicitly describes EM as a functional entity that manages and controls NEs, which are part of the telecom network infrastructure. This role aligns with the definition of a Network Function, as it is involved in controlling and managing specific components within the network.
