Title:	Report of the current status on terminal capabilities

In our Liaison Statement T(99)282, TSG-T2 had requested all WGs to identify the terminal capabilities until 15th of April. We received many excellent responses. T2 appreciates the co-operation of each WG on the work to identify terminal capabilities.

We have summarised the comments we received in the table below. The table lists the contribution number assigned by SWG6, and includes a brief summary of the response. We would appreciate it if you would let us know if we have not captured your response accurately. 

T2 has not investigated the details of the LS answers yet. This Liaison Statement is to report the current status of investigation. In addition, we have indicated work items for each WG that we would like to request the WG as the next step in making progress. These are also shown in the table below.

T2 is proceeding along its defined work program. This is contained in T2-99(282) which states the following -
•	The prime work priority is to achieve stable specification for the baseline implementation capabilities.
•	Among the service capabilities, the specification work for the capabilities to support the default speech service is of priority.

T2 SWG6 would like to make the following requests for additional information - 
•	TSG-S1 is requested to identify service capabilities. 
•	In accordance with the identification of service capabilities by S1, each relevant WGs are asked to identify service implementation capabilities for each service capability.

S1	T2-99398	“Answer from S1 chairman on Terminal Capabilities”
- S1 have not had an opportunity to study its implications or to prepare a response.	S1 chairman	- S1 is requested to list service or service capabilities to assist in the identification of terminal capabilities.	
S2	no answer			- We would like to request an answer to the LS 	
S3	no answer			- We would like to request  S3 to identify the terminal capabilities in the  “security” technical domain.	
S4	T2-99332	“LS to TSG-T on Terminal Capabilities”
- S4 identified terminal implementation capabilities to be mandatory or optional by service capability category, i.e. speech and circuit switched multimedia service H.324 based.	S4	- S4 is requested to identify service implementation capabilities for H.323 packet based multimedia service 	
S5	no answer			- The LS answer is requested.	
N1	no answer			- N1 is requested to identify terminal capabilities for CC and MM.	
N2	T2-99388	“Reply from TSG-N2 on terminal capabilities”
N2 does not foresee any specific
requirements for terminal capabilities for the work of TSG-N2.	N2 chairman	- We request N2 input on how to treat the issue of USSD.	
N3	T2-99399	“LS from CN3 on Terminal Capabilities”
- N3 identified service capabilities for a store & forward mechanism and a real-time service. For real-time service, two implementation capabilities are identified.	N3	- T2 has responsibility for a store & forward mechanism .CHECK K. HOLLEY	
R1	T2-99360	“LS from TSG RAN WG1 on UE physical layer capabilities”
RAN WG1 has started the work on defining UE physical layer baseline implementation capabilities. TSG RAN WG1 awaits further guidance on the service capabilities required for UE.	R1	- T2 looks forward to receiving the baseline implementation capabilities for the physical layer as soon as completed.	
R2	T2-99397	“LS from RAN2 on  Baseline Implementation Capabilities”
R2 identified the baseline implementation capabilities.	R2	- R2 is requested to identify whether each baseline implementation capability is mandatory or optional.	
R3	T2-99363	“LS from TSG RAN WG3 on Terminal Capabilities”
No terminal capabilities were identified that were within the scope of TSG RAN WG3.	R3		
T1	no answer			- The LS answer is requested.	
T2	T2-99435	“Terminal Capabilities within T2 – suggested starting point”
No baseline implementation capabilities are identified.	BT (chairman)		
T3	no answer			- T3 is requested to identify the baseline terminal implementation capabilities for “USIM” technical domain.
