name: BC
full_form: Backward Compatible \ Compatibility
context: It is anticipated that the IRPAgent level BC solution includes: - An IRPAgent service allowing IRPManager to discover all the IRPAgent supported Interface IRPVersion(s). - An IRPAgent service allowing IRPManager to discover the IRPAgent supported NRM IRPVersion(s). - An IRPAgent service allowing IRPManager to discover the reference/address of the IRP instance (of the IRPAgent) supporting a particular Interface IRPVersion. The two diagrams in figure 5.3 illustrate the two possible ways to support BC at this so-called IRPAgent level. The IRPVersion-new needs not to be BC to IRPVersion-old. In the case that IRPVersion-new is BC to IRPVersion-old, it is EM supplier's choice if "IRP level" or "IRPAgent level" solution will be used to support BC. In the case that the IRPVersion-new is not BC to IRPVersion-old, then the EM supplier will have no choice but to use "IRPAgent level" solution if it wants its EM to support BC. NOTE 3: IRPAgent service supporting "discovery" (as stated by the above
description: Backward Compatibility (BC) refers to the ability of a system or component to work with older versions of software, hardware, or protocols. In telecommunications, BC ensures that new versions of interfaces and protocols can coexist and interoperate with previous versions.
explanation: The context explicitly mentions 'Backward Compatible (BC)' solutions in relation to interface and protocol version management within a telecommunications standard (3GPP TS 32.154). This directly relates to the concept of compatibility, ensuring seamless interaction between different versions.
