Title:	LS on ongoing work in T2 SWG5 – Multi-mode terminals

Document for:	Information and action

___________________________________________________________________________

In TSG T2 the SWG5 is responsible for the overall concept of multi-mode terminals, from a terminal point of view, and issues related to this. The main task of the SWG is to collect and refer to work already done on multi-mode terminals and from that identify issues that need additional treatment to make usage of multi-mode terminals efficient.

The main output from the SWG is a report on multi-mode issues that as far as possible refers to specifications/reports already done or under creation. Some of the main issues in the report are the behaviour of the terminal in different situation, e.g. in idle mode or in connected mode and how signalling and identities are treated for multi-mode terminals. Situations occurring while the different modes are operated by different operators will also be taken into account.

To this report SWG5 needs help from other working groups identifying the reports/specifications that exists or are under creation and could be relevant for the work on multi-mode terminals.
