7.1.3.7 Duty Cycle/Mechanical Scanning
A narrow beam scanning antenna only illuminates a given target area intermittently. The radar boresight scans a horizontal plane parallel to the ground. The antenna duty cycle depends on the antenna beam width in azimuth systems and is between 0,25 - 0,5 %. The scan rate is model dependant but ranges between 1 - 4 Hz. ...

7.1.4 Receiver parameters
The infrastructure radar includes either monostatic (single antenna) for transmit and receive (H1) or is a bi-static, dual antenna configuration for the H2 & H3 examples. The radar receiver includes an active mixer that converts the Radio Frequency signal into an Intermediate Frequency range which covers 50 kHz to 5 MH...

9.2.1 Additional applications
The applications described in clause 5.2 (Fixed Security and Safety Applications) raise an interesting question when FSSA is installed in locations such as airports and harbours.

9.2.2 Scanning antenna restriction
The reasons for mandating scanning antennas are discussed above in clause 5.2.5. It is noted that this provision arose purely for the purposes of mitigation towards vehicular radar. The proposal therefore is that the requirement for antennas of a scanning nature is applied only to roadside installations. One option is ...

5.2.3.2 Model distribution using CP

5.2.3.3 Model distribution using UP
UP use for model distribution has the advantage of being able to accommodate large ML model sizes. UP might be used with Application Layer security (e.g. end-to-end) and as such can be easily outsourced by an operator. However, being opaque to the operator is one of the main disadvantages.

Hybrid model distribution aims to remediate the CP-only and UP-only modes. Such a mode uses CP to set the cryptographic model distribution control that is shared between the home operator, serving operator, and model owner/custodian. After the CP-assisted framework for model transfer is set, the UP is utilized to distr...

6.3.2 Ticket (e.g. trouble ticket, CR) classification and routing
In many cases, the tickets contain data entered by humans in natural language such as a description of the problem and the steps already taken.

6.3.3 Customer churn prediction
At a higher level, LLM-based sentiment analysis is also possible with the tickets (see clause 6.3.1) and other sources (e.g. the history of chats clients had with a company chatbot or social media posts).

7.1.2 Anomaly detection
Most NN anomaly detection algorithms operate on time series data. Studies have demonstrated an attack on such models by inducing imperceptible perturbations into an input signal fed to the model [i.10]. This form of attack causes models to misclassify anomalous signals as normal operating behaviour with high confidence...

7.1.3 Root cause identification

7.2.1 Introduction
During the runtime phase, an attack on the AI-powered network control plane can allow an adversary to disrupt the service in several ways. These include limiting the system's ability to correctly execute the reconciliation loop or tricking it into making incorrect decisions regarding resource management. Also, when AI ...
a65dbfd110e2620b04001bee98bdcd6e
104 051
7.2.2 Ability to self-heal
Poisoning of the training data in the case of CoA identification can lead to a set of actions that ostensibly address a given issue in the system but leave unaddressed an exploitable weakness. In the case of CoA execution, the employed LLMs may be induced to generate code with vulnerabilities. This is possible even in ...
a65dbfd110e2620b04001bee98bdcd6e

7.2.3 Dynamic optimization
The time series nature of network performance optimization presents the risk of perturbation attacks similar to those possible on predictive maintenance systems. When applied to the mobility optimization use case, it would then be possible for an attacker to artificially degrade user experience in specific cells by tri...

7.2.4 Automated Network Design
A potential for data extraction exists if an attacker is able to capture prompts given to the model, especially in the case that the model is provided as a public cloud SaaS. By repeating the prompts an attacker can recreate the output, or potentially expose confidential information fed to the model. This attack may be...

a65dbfd110e2620b04001bee98bdcd6e
104 051
7.3.0 Introduction
A successful attack on customer-related services can damage the operator's reputation and potentially escalate to both monetary and legal consequences. This can occur if there is a violation of contractual agreements or if a leak of personally identifiable information is discovered. ETSI ETSI TR 104 051 V1.1.1 (2025-06...

104 051
7.3.1 Ticket (e.g. trouble ticket, CR) classification and routing
LLM models employed for ticket classification, especially those that are exposed to customer-originated tickets, are at high risk for prompt injection with the aims either of inducing privacy compromise or triggering hallucinatory behaviour. The latter represents a legal risk for the operator as, depending on the juris...
a65dbfd110e2620b04001bee98bdcd6e
104 051
7.3.2 Customer churn prediction
Time series attack techniques such as smooth perturbation may be employed by an attacker to induce churn prediction models to present an overly optimistic estimate, thereby causing revenue loss. The mitigation of these attacks follows the strategy outlined for time series models.

Due to its compound nature consisting of sets of systems such as RCA, CoA generation, and CoA execution, the possible attacks, and the corresponding mitigation strategies, on SLA assurance systems may be considered as the union of the attacks and mitigations of their constituent systems. ETSI ETSI TR 104 051 V1.1.1 (20...

1 Scope
The present document provides an assessment of the feasibility of using object-orientation in the development of standards, particularly when used in association with Message Sequence Charts (MSC), Specification and Description Language (SDL) defined in ITU-T Recommendations Z.120 [11], Z.100 [9] and Z.105 [10] and the...

4 Feasibility study
The following activities were undertaken in order to evaluate the use of object-orientation in the ETSI standardization process and these are reported here: - review of the existing standardization process within ETSI; - review of UML methods and standardization; - application of UML to existing standards in three case...

4.2 ETSI Standardization Process
Before being able to assess the value of using object-orientation in the ETSI standardization process, it is necessary to review this process itself. The ETSI standardization process has evolved over a number of years and although methods exist and are well documented for the development of many different types of stan...

4.3.1 The Unified Modelling Language (UML)
The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is a language for visualizing, specifying, constructing and documenting software systems and has been developed using best practices from existing object-oriented methods. It is standardized by Industry in the Object Management Group (OMG). The UML uses diagrams to visualize the str...

4.3.1.1 The Architecture of a System
The architecture of a software-intensive system can have five interlocking views: - the Use Case view: specifies the forces that shape the system's architecture and describes the behaviour of the system as seen by its users, analysts and testers; - the Design view: collects the vocabulary (as classes, interfaces and co...

4.3.1.2 A Conceptual Model of the UML
The UML has three major elements: - a set of basic building blocks: ETSI ETSI TR 102 105 V1.1.1 (1999-08) 12 - things; - relationships; - diagrams. - a set of rules for assembling these blocks; - some common mechanisms (for example, to extend the UML notation).

4.3.1.2.1.1 Things
The UML defines four different types of "thing": - structural things: the nouns of a UML model. These are the static parts of a model and they represent conceptual elements of a system. Classes, interfaces, collaborations, use cases, active classes, components and nodes are structural things in the UML; - behavioural t...

4.3.1.2.1.2 Relationships
The UML supports four kinds of basic relationships as follows: - dependency: a semantic relationship between two things. A change to one thing may affect the other; - association: a structural relationship. An aggregation, which is a special kind of association, represents the relationship between a whole and its const...

4.3.1.2.1.3 Diagrams
A diagram is a graphical presentation of a set of elements. UML has nine different diagrams which can be used to provide different views of a system's architecture. Diagrams are classified as either structural or behavioural diagrams. ETSI ETSI TR 102 105 V1.1.1 (1999-08) 13 4.3.1.2.1.3.1Structural diagrams A class dia...
