In plain words

MIB means Management Information Base, and in TS 32.690 it is "the set of existing managed objects in a management domain, together with their attributes, constitutes that management domain's MIB.". TS 28.622 says a MIB is an NRM instance with values for defined attributes and associations specific to that instance. TS 32.662 gives the same description, so these TS documents use MIB for a domain's managed objects or an NRM instance.

How this page was made

The facts box comes straight from the 3GPP TDoc list and specification archive as indexed by 3GPP Scout. An AI model (GPT-6 Luna) wrote the paragraph and named the source of each sentence. Code checked every quote word for word against the stored source text and every number against the cited source. A second AI model from another company (Claude Opus 5.5) reviewed the paragraph against the same sources. The 3GPP documents themselves govern.
