5.1 TSG RAN WG1 RP‑170858 Status Report RAN WG1 RAN1 chairman (NTT DOCOMO) report   Yes
YesTelecom Italia:single UL support in RAN1 was supposed to be discussed in the connection with RAN1 report, any news? RAN1 chairman: will discuss with RAN4 chair and delegates this week Nokia: will have a Tdoc related to slide 25 in RP-171433 that we can discuss on Tue; we need a solution that works not just in RAN1 specs so we need to consult other WGs Qualcomm: it was not intended that this works with all implementations, no band combinations were identified Huawei: worried that we repeat here RAN1 discussions, RAN1 decision was made, RAN should not overtake the RAN1 decision Nokia: RAN1 decision has significant impact on other WGs so they need to look at this as well MCC: TR 38.900 will not be withdrawn no further CRs to TR 38.900 are expected

    RP‑171433 NR supporting 1Tx UE in LTE-NR UL Dual Connectivity Nokia discussion discussion Yes
YesProposal 1: Down-scope the number of NSA architecture options and especially reconsider the architecture option 3A due to its limitation to support 1Tx UEs in LTE-NR UL DC. Proposal 2: RAN#76 should decide if 1Tx UEs are only supported for certain problematic band combination or it is generic UE capability Panasonic: is would be useful to collect RAN1/RAN2 feedback, no need to decide anything here; also dynamic switching could be possible Nokia: 1Tx UE is considered in RAN1 and asking other WGs, static/semi-statis/dynamic is not yet decided, we want to avoid that decision is taken in one WG with big impacts on other WGs; Panasonic: was not a problem in the past, one WG takes an assumption and asks for feedback from others to see whether assumption can remain; Qualcomm: yes, it has an impact on architecture but no impact ... LG: removal SCG bearers was not agreed in RAN2 Ericsson: we should not mix this paper with the bearer discussion; if there are intermodulation problems then we need to address this in this release and not 3 releases later; Apple: we talk about "no simultaneous UL at a time" and not about "1Tx"; option 3A and this solution has nothing to do with each other; there was a good Samsung contribution explaining things in the last RAN4 meeting R4-17.... Sprint: not ready for down-scoping NTT DOCOMO: agrees that we should not mix this paper with architecture discussions Vodafone: mapping things to the same carrier does not necessarily impacts RAN2; RAN chair: proposal 1 seems not agreeable; proposal 2: RAN2 and RAN4 will have to analyze this until Sep.17 and we cannot do this on the fly Nokia: we should then task the WGs to analyze the impacts of the RAN1 decision on their work RAN chair: is this acceptable? Qualcomm: whether we task the WGs or not they need to analyze this but we could maybe decide about proposal 2 Intel: UE capability discussion can happen in RAN4; we do not need to send an LS now, can still do this later RAN chair: there was no intention to send an LS but we can task the WGs ZTE: it is clear that the RAN1 decision can impact on RAN2 Nokia: reminds that we need to have specs ready in Dec. RAN chair: so the assumption is that RAN1/RAN2/RAN4 look into this problem until Sep.17

RAN3 chair (Huawei): we added already something on Mon but companies need to be reasonable RAN chair: so we need to make sure that everything that we approve related to RAN3 really fits into the RAN3 time budget RAN chair and RAN thanked RAN3 chairman Philippe Reininger (Huawei) for his good and hard work in the last 4 years

NoProposal 1: Some NR related topics should be handled in the LTE RF session to increase the time available for discussion and speed up the process. Proposal 2: Confirm the NR ad-hoc between RAN4#84Bis (mid Oct.) and RAN4#85 (end of Nov) Sprint: proposal 1 would be ok, depends on how it is handled Dish Networks: views from RAN4 chair and vice-chairmen would be useful, there is LTE/NR commonality so treated them together would be useful RAN chair: proposal 1 is completely up to RAN4 leadership, regarding proposal 2 we could take a decision in Sep. Sprint: has offered to host the Nov ad hoc but we would need to decide about the ad hoc this week Ericsson, Nokia: there are just 6 weeks between the 2 WG meetings, adding another ad hoc in between would be critical for simulations NEC: agrees with Ericsson and Nokia, rather extending RAN4 meetings over the week-end RAN4 chair: proposal 1: we should see how the meeting goes, proposal 2: we have an offline discussion on Tue evening of RAN #76 to discuss RAN4 time budget so let's see this first RAN chair: we will come back on this topic once we see the outcome of the

RAN chair: no, each TSG will handle this separately, it seems CT did this already Spec manager: recommends that WG chairs put this on their WG agenda, their is an application on the 3GPP web page under Specifications to detect the corresponding specs conclusion: Regarding slide 27: Action for RAN1/2/3/4/5/6: The WGs are tasked to check that their TRs/TSs (Rel-12 and onwards) are not referencing TS 44.118 and TS 44.160. If there is a reference, they have to provide corresponding CRs to RAN #77 to remove these references as it is intended to withdraw TS 44.118 and TS 44.160 at RAN #77.

    RP‑171165 Discussion of Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) in NR Qualcomm Incorporated discussion Decision Yes
Yesproposal: Basic functionality is required in release 15 NR to satisfy the request from SA1 to avoid legacy issues. RAN2 should be further tasked to perform technical analysis on forward compatibility, and define the required functionality. RAN should note that the future introduction of CSG will be problematic otherwise. Ericsson: we can take this use case into account in REL-15 addressing forward compatibility but it does not mean we need to implement it Deutsche Telekom: we agreed already 1 bit for LTE and should do the same for NR so RAN should task RAN2 Vodafone: is CSG an agreed concept in CT in REL-15, then we should align otherwise we could discuss in RAN2/3 RAN chair: CSG concept is not yet agreed for REL-15 but it may impact compatibility, so let's have an LS response drafted in RP-171410 Huawei: agrees the forward compatibility issue but unclear what else we would answer Qualcomm: will draft a reply

YesProposal 1: Completion LTE work item on “Shortened TTI and processing time for LTE” by December 2017, and consider an early Release 15 ASN.1 freeze in March 2018. Proposal 2: Respond to SA2 that we expect: - Stage 3 completion of LTE low latency features in December 2017. - Stage 3 completion of NR low latency for “Option 3 family” in December 2017. Proposal 3: Agree to standardise one or a few QCIs for usage via EPC connected NR and LTE for low latency operation in Release 15. Proposal 4: SA2 to strive to complete the standardisation of the first one or few QCIs for low latency services by December 2017. Proposal 5: SA2 (and CT Working Groups) to strive to complete the standardisation of the “make before break” PDN connection continuity December 2017. RAN chair: item for early consideration Mediatek: we agreed at RAN #75 that the NR acceleration is the only acceleration Nokia: finishing in Dec. seems reasonable but full ASN.1 freeze may not be beneficial as it would cause a lot of extra work LG: would not be happy about a separate ASN.1 freeze Huawei: LTE review for NSA will have to take place in March 18 RAN2 chair: correct, but sees a danger of setting a bad precedence case if we freeze one feature separately this time, we will see others next time AT&T: supports RAN2 chairman RAN chair: elements on short TTI completion should be captured in Nokia LS and we stick to the current ASN.1 freeze dates Vodafone: stability of the feature is important, not so much the ASN.1 freeze; so we should emphasize that we do not touch it in a backward incompatible way after completion Ericsson: from Ericsson point of view this should be fine, completion of the feature is a stage 3 completion and it is clear that we do not put the feature upside down afterwards Nokia: can capture this in the LS Vodafone: QCIs will be discussed in joint session? RAN chair: yes Vodafone: we have also an SA paper on this Ericsson: what about target date? RAN chair: realistically completion will probably Dec. Huawei: this is in line with the current status report RAN chair: so Dec.17 is assumed for the moment and can come back on this in connection with the status report

    RP‑170993 UE categories for NR and LTE-NR Dual Connectivity NTT DOCOMO, INC. discussion Decision Yes
YesProposal 1: Confirm the necessity of UE categories for all LTE-NR DC options (Option 3/4/7 series) as well as the NR standalone (Option 2). Proposal 1a: Let RAN WGs decide technical details on how the UE category is defined for LTE-NR DC. Proposal 2: Operators are asked to coordinate (offline or official email discussion) and input their opinion on DL/UL peak data rate targeted for Option 3 deployments to TSG-RAN #77. RAN chair: item for early consideration Telecom Italia: also other use cases than eMBB considered? NTT DOCOMO: main use case for LTE-NR dual connectivity is eMBB Vodafone: why is it needed to distinguish cat. between options 3, 4 and 7? NTT DOCOMO: we have to complete option 3 by Dec.17 Deutsche Telekom: access capability are independent of architecture options, but we should discuss in Sep. which options a UE should support and also consider downscoping the options Miedatek: agrees with Vodafone that SA and NSA categories should be discussed together Ericsson: would not like to agree on proposal 1 immediately Qualcomm: to proposal 1: can it be a throughput class rather than a cat.? RAN chair: this may be a possibility to get rid of the UE cat. concept Huawei: agrees with Qualcomm that NR and LTE do not need to use the same cat. concept

    RP‑171166 Support of location services over NR required for emergency calls Qualcomm Incorporated discussion Decision Yes
Yesproposal: It is proposed TSG RAN #76 to adopt "TSG RAN#76 agrees that there is support for location services over NR in release 15 using RAT independent and E-UTRAN RAT dependent positioning methods" for rel.15. This can be extended to include LPP/LPPa support for NR in future releases. Mediatek: asks for clarification how the exact regulatory requirement is T-Mobile: 50m so far, does not specify a technology, passing NR 911 call to LTE to get location information will not fulfill regulatory requirement LG: no location service in REL-15 preferred RAN chair: did not think this is an option, we need to respond to the LS and we need to check whether we need to update our WID (T-Mobile seems to say the WID includes this implicitly so we need to check whether we need to be more clear); CATT: option 1 and 2 will not work with voice over IMS, option 3 requires LTE Ericsson: Cell-ID based on NR would be included anyway Intel: option 3 does not work in standalone case, option 1 with proper scope could be considered in REL-15, does not think that Cell-ID based is possible Nokia: we have Cell-ID concept in NR, we are looking for meeting regulatory requirements RAN chair: LS to SA2 and RAN groups about the requirements for 911 to be considered; there will be one WID revision at the end of the week and we can consider to add something for this topic Deutsche Telekom: there may be other requirements in other regions, e.g. in Germany Cell-ID is required

Proposal 2: Considering the current load of RAN3, and the need to progress in order to provide by December a first ASN.1 (including option 3, potentially F1/CP-UP separation), it is requested to RAN to treat the following topics as low priority, e.g. discuss if time allows until December, NG ‘agnostic’, SA2 related topics. Nokia: concern about proposal 2, topics with architecture impacts need to be considered early enough otherwise they cannot happen Deutsche Telekom: supports Nokia RAN3 chairman (Huawei): this is not an attempt to stop the work but a reminder that we have priorities to be taken into account Telecom Italia: ASN.1 freeze is in March 18, if RAN3 has an overload issue here, then we need to revise the priorities Broadcom: changes regarding non-3GPP access are minor RAN chair: would like to check all architecture topics before having a summary we could provide to RAN3 for further discussion

Broadcom: unclear how non-3GPP access would be addressed RAN chair: this is not affected MCC: we discussed this topic offline at last meeting with the specs manager and his clear answer was that we will not be able to allocate another spec series for this (shortage of series numbers); will this split only affect RAN1 and RAN4 specs?

Proposal 2: NR MIMO calibration should be reused and continue in this self-evaluation SI at least for eMBB. A new set of calibration should be setup in this SI for scenarios which are not covered by NR MIMO calibration e.g. URLLC and mMTC. Proposal 3: Update the SID to allow updated proposal submission with additional self-evaluation before June 2019.\ Proposal 4: Update the meeting time of ITU-R WP 5D meeting #32 in Justification part of the SID. Proposal 5: RAN4 should be involved in evaluation of other requirements described in Objective (d) of the SID. Proposal 6: Update the SID to describe technical performance requirements for each of the three eMBB test environments in objective (a). Huawei: some of the proposals are already reflected (4. and 5.) in the revised SID, some proposals (3.) were discussed in the offline discussion on Tue morning, calibration and proposal 1./2./6. are a bit too early i.e. we should wait for WP5D and can then probably refer to their documents; Mediatek: system description also needs to be included in submission template or just the self-evaluation; ZTE: probably also system description needs to be included in template as well

YesTelecom Italia: suppl. UL in line with RAN1? Qualcomm: some simultaneous UL assumed Huawei: we do not agree with everything but contents almost in line with WGs, the Tdoc was late and we do not need to treat WG discussion here Nokia: Tdoc shows that multiple aspects have to be considered in RAN1 (e.g. coverage aspect) so we need to avoid that one WG decides alone about systemwide aspects Orange: would like to have a continuation of this discussion in RAN1 ZTE: discussion on WG level appreciated but as Nokia said some system aspects need to be discussed in RAN Vodafone: Tdoc highlights all of the issues but does not have the solutions, we need to address the issues and not just say it's complex Qualcomm: providing good UL coverage is crucial, reason why we use UL sharing needs to be clear in order to find good solutions RAN chair: companies are encouraged to discuss this more and to take this up in the WGs

YesNokia: existing SI is still ongoing in RAN1 and this should be completed before we start a WI; detailed contents of the WI needs to be discussed offline as it seems to be a basket for several topics Ericsson: same views ZTE: similar views, if we would start it we would need to improve the scope a lot Qualcomm: same views LG: RAN2 TUs need to be reconsidered for the SI if we have no WI Samsung: supports Nokia view RAN1 chair: RAN1 time budget already overloaded for the next 6 months Huawei: we timed the SI to start RAN2 study part now; compromise offer to allow to treat SA1/SA2 LSs; US Dep.of Commerce: we are supporting this work RAN2 chair: this shows that starting a SI where the leading WG has no time allocated is not ideal; conclusion: SI will continue, LSs will be handled in RAN2 as business as usual (within SI scope) and we discuss a WI proposal again in Sep.17

YesProposal 1 -­ To prioritize R15 power consumption enhancements to be completed by Dec 17 for early implementations Deutsche Telekom: confirms that power consumption can be improved, supports that work is done in 3GPP and accelerated, signalling may affect ASN.1 so we can only freeze features that have no ASN.1 impact; Vodafone: supports that Veolia brought up this topic and that power consumption need to be further improved, we should check first which functionalities need to be prioritized before we look into ASN.1 freeze aspects; Ericsson: there are quite many enhancements that are proposed, there are certainly things that could be done more easily than others, so we could prioritize them in RAN2; Huawei: we should check at RAN #76 what we could do to satisfies Veolia's requirements; RAN 1 chair: having a step-by-step approach is possible? Veolia: the market needs actually already a tighter time schedule so our dates here are relaxed already Sprint: we have a serious problem with proposal 1 to prioritize this over other topics RAN chair: having a list of points that can be prioritized together with corresponding required TUs would be useful Vodafone: most of the points are already part of the REL-15 WI and we should prioritize within the WI and not prioritize over other WIs/SIs conclusion: offline discussion to come up with a prioritization in RP-171440 (rapporteur: Huawei) Proposal 2 -­ Add NB-­IoT RAN 1 / RAN 2 Ad Hoc Meetings in 2017 Nokia: prefers to better schedule the work and solve it during the normal meetings Sprint: supports this NEC: rather extending a normal meeting than having another trip to Sophia Antipolis LG: not supporting to have the ad hoc Huawei: supports to have an ad hoc as it may help progressing the prioritization AT&T: we are afraid that if we create a precedence case every WI will ask for an ad hoc for their topic Nokia: supports AT&T, we saw in the past that too many meetings are actually doing the opposite of acceleration RAN2 chair: we had no discussion of this topic in RAN2 and it looks a bit odd to schedule an ad hoc before we have treated the topic at least once Veolia: we need to find a way to complete the work by Dec.17 Telstra: reminds that NB-IOT is having worse power consumption figures compared to non-3GPP technology and we lose market share if we do not address this problem Sequans: does not support to have the ad hoc as for some companies there are not different people who attend the different meetings RAN chair: suggests to proceed as planned until Aug. and review the TUs for LTE in Sep.17 Huawei: may be more easier to have an ad hoc in Oct./Nov. conclusion: no extra ad hoc considered so far, we will revisit the situation at RAN #77 in Sep.17 and concentrate first on the prioritization (see RP-171440) Proposal 3 -­ Increase Time Units per meeting RAN1/RAN2 RAN2 chair: this is not a possible option after the planning we did last time RAN1 chair: RAN1 is already fully loaded in the 3rd quarter conclusion: proposal 3 is not agreed

Veolia: adding further equipment is costly Deutsche Telekom: intention is to add further functionality to the existing WI and not a new WI, correct:? RAN chair: has the same understanding Qualcomm: existing relay solution may be more complex, what is proposed could be an interesting longer term study; Intel: sees some overlap with the wearables topic? Telstra: a study is definitely needed and whatever the solution is it must be a low cost solution LG: there is also some overlap with the MTC WI RAN chair: we will not work on this in the 3 months, we do not need to take a decision now but we can use the next the 3 months to find a solution how to handle this; Huawei: what about an LS to RAN2 tasking them to check Ericsson: SI is over, WI not having TUs and we will only treat LSs so wearables is not a proper place for this; also sees a fundamental difference to wearables
