The Network Reference Model (NRM) is a logical representation of the network architecture. The NRM
identifies functional entities and reference points over which interoperability is achieved between functional
entities. Figure 1 illustrates the NRM including general HR-Network, Standalone network, HR-MS forwarding
and HR-MS to HR-MS direct communication consisting of the following functional entities.

When the connection between HR-BS and backhaul is unavailable, the HR-BS may maintain the connectivity between subordinated HR-MSs as a
standalone network.
