3 IPR declaration S5‑187001 IPR and legal declaration WG Chairman other   Yes
YesThe attention of the delegates to the meeting of this Technical Specification Group was drawn to the fact that 3GPP Individual Members have the obligation under the IPR Policies of their respective Organizational Partners to inform their respective Organizational Partners of Essential IPRs they become aware of. The delegates were asked to take note that they were thereby invited: to investigate whether their organization or any other organization owns IPRs which were, or were likely to become Essential in respect of the work of 3GPP. to notify their respective Organizational Partners of all potential IPRs, e.g., for ETSI, by means of the IPR Information Statement and the Licensing declaration forms. The attention of the delegates to the meeting was drawn to the fact that 3GPP activities were subject to all applicable antitrust and competition laws and that compliance with said laws was therefore required by any participant of the meeting, including the Chairman and Vice-Chairmen and were invited to seek any clarification needed with their legal counsel. The leadership would conduct the present meeting with impartiality and in the interests of 3GPP. Delegates were reminded that timely submission of work items in advance of TSG/WG meetings was important to allow for full and fair consideration of such matters. Delegates were reminded of the fair network use rules established by the PCG: 1. Users shall not use the network to engage in illegal activities. This includes activities such as copyright violation, hacking, espionage or any other activity that may be prohibited by local laws. 2. Users shall not engage in non-work related activities that can consume excessive bandwidth or cause significant degradation of the performance of the network.

    S5‑187004 Leaders meeting minutes WG Chairman report   Yes
YesIt was agreed that all new SA5 TRs and TSs should have as the top level title "Managhement and Orchestration" or "Charging management" as appropriate. The Chairman believed that some adjustment to the timing of future meetings was desirable - there seemed to be too many early in the year, with a dearth in the autumn. This was for historical reasons stemming from offers of hosting. A draft of a communicatons plan to enhance the external visibility of SA5 had been discussed, and a more systematic review of converences etc would henceforward be instigated.

YesThe main objective of the tdoc was to ensure that all APIs were treated in the same way. The Secretary outlined the CT4 idea insofar as he understood it, noting that he had not been able to participatre in the teleconference on this subject the previous week. There was some concern over why CT groups would not use the industry-standard github service. It was noted that the SA5 Charging subgroup was already following the guidelines of 24.501. The Secretary also mentiooned the dificulty of applying 3GP's traditional change control mechanism, which was perhaps not compatible with other groups' methods.

5.4 SA5 meeting calendar S5‑187010 SA5 Meeting Calendar WG Chairman other   Yes
YesThe Chairman noted that TSG SA had urged WGs to reduce the number of meetings per year if possible. Nevertheless, SA5 might maintain that it was necessary in 2019 to hold six ordinary meetings and up to two ad hocs. Various options were mooted for evening out the meetings, andn it had to be born in mind that clashes with SA3. However, there was some reluctance to modify the current plans as given in this tdoc. It was recalled that MCC was not "obliged" to support ad hoc meetings. Some delegates believed that clashes with othe WGs (other, that is, than SA3) caused logistical problems for some companies, and too many meetings had obvious financial implications for all organizations. One option was to "move" the January meetin ghosted by NAF3 to October.

YesThe Session Chairman presented the document, noting that there were fewer tdocs to be addressed in the session than usual. The Session Chairman noted that late contributions would be address if time permitted at the end of the agenda item. Notwithstanding, rapporteurs should provide a running order for their documents. It was the intention to ensure all contributions would be addressed. It was noted that some adjustment to the proposed session timing might be required, bearing in mind the late contributions.

    S5‑187037 Reply LS from RAN2 to SA5 on L2 measurements RAN2 LS in   Yes
YesThe document was presented by Huawei. Ericsson noted that SA5 would need to refer to the RAN2 spec in due course. SA5 would not define the triggers, but would refer to the RAN2 definitions. Thiw was "business as usual". Intel was concerned that RAN2 were making slow progress. Ericsson stated that it was up to SA5 to make speicific requests. Nokia and Huawei agreed.
noted No    
    S5‑187038 Reply LS to SA5 on L2 measurements RAN3 LS in   Yes
YesHuawei presented the document. Intel believed that SA5 had a problem which needed to be fixed here. The word "mapped" could be removed: "5QI" was sufficient. Ericsson disagreed, believing that the RAN2 view was correct. SA5 should return to normal activity, requesting RAN2 for each case in turn. Cisco believed tjat a bearer copuld include multiple QoS flows, and each would have the same "mapped 5QI". But it was not clear how to handle the case where several QoS flows were needed.
noted No    
    S5‑187039 LS from SA2 to SA5 on QoS Monitoring SA2 LS in   Yes
YesHuawei presented the document. SA2 put two questions to SA5. Intel believed that SA5 and SA2 needed to work together on thie question of latency. Ericsson agreed, but the effect on the RAN was unclear at this stage, and further evaluation was needed. For the second question, uplink measurements were a problem. Nokia thought there was a logistical problem concerning action 2: this was not in the scope of SA5. SA5 could benefit from the SA2 requirements, but the solution was in the hands of RAN. Huawei returned to the actions requested in the LS. RAN2 had defined six measurements, and SA5 needed to clarifiy this in its reply. Cisco agreed with what had been said so far. But SA5 could indeed make use of the measurements performed for statistical purposes. Nokia proposed an extension of MDT, where mechanisms could be further extended. Intel agreed. Maybe a new term was needed for MDT, however. Nokia believed that what was approved in this enhancement was an assurance. Cisco stated that end to end measurements were perfectly possible (some were already defined by IETF), and it was possible to analyse on a per packet basis if needed.. Huawei observed that there were two draft replies to this LS in '7293 and '7296.

YesNokia were not happy with the mechanism described in this draft reply.
noted No    
    S5‑187296 Draft LS reply on QoS monitoring SA5 (Huawei Tech.(UK) Co., Ltd) LS out   Yes
YesNokia believed that the N6 interface was incorrect. Intel agreed that this would need to be reivisited. Also, the work item code on the document was incorrect. Ericsson believed the measurements were per packet, not per flow. Nokia greed but noted that this was not in the scope of SA5. After extensive discussions, the topic was taken off line.

    S5‑187041 Resubmitted LS from ITU-T to SA5 on cooperation on REST-based network management framework ITU-T Study Group 2 LS in   Yes
YesIt was noted that this documenbt had been seen at the previous meeting. SA5 had been considering the topic since at least April 2018. Nokia thought that a response needed further work, but a holding response could be made. Ericsson suggested it needed discussion in methods coordination. Nokia questioned the benefits of some aspects of alignment with ITU.
replied to No    
    S5‑187340 Reply to: Resubmitted LS from ITU-T to SA5 on cooperation on REST-based network management framework SA5 (Ericsson) LS out approval Yes

    S5‑187042 LS/r from ITU-T to SA5 on Energy Efficiency (reply to 3GPP TSG SA5 - S5-182439) ITU-T Study Group 5 LS in   Yes
YesThe document was presented by Orange. The nature of the proposed cooperation was a little unclear: did SG5 propose to initiate a WI in 3GPP? Huawei believed that cooperation was important. Perhaps SG5 would offer us a draft text at some time in the future. The LS was rather unclear. It was noted that cooperation with ETSI TC EE might be more appropriate than with SA5. Orange noted that EE was meeting concurrently with the present SA5 meeting. Huawei wondered whether 3GPP should be more proactive on this topic, but Orange noted that 3GPP was contribution driven, and without contributions, there would be little progress.
noted No    
    S5‑187043 LS/r from ITU-T ccSA5 on Energy Efficiency (reply to ETSI TC EE - EE(18)053033-E) ITU-T Study Group 5 LS in   Yes
YesOrange recalled that there was a possibility of a joint meeting with ETSI TC EE on this topic, or perhaps just a conference call. A F2F joint meeting with EE in Sophia Antipolis was preferable. The document would be readdressed at the next meeting.
postponed No    
    S5‑187294 Outstanding questions from ETSI NFV ISG related to network slicing Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei, ZTE discussion Discussion Yes
YesNokia presented the document on behaf of the joint authors. Ericsson had had communication from one of the NFV vice-chairmen on this topic, and NFV had proposed a conference call with interested parties to discuss this topic; this was not mentioned in the present tdoc. But Nokia noted that SA5 could not express a WG-agreed position on such a call. Cisco wondered exactly what sort of reply NFV expected. Nokia endeavoured to reply to this, likening their expectations to "42", including prioritization of actions when resources were running low. SA5 had already promised a "simple" response. Cisco doubted that such a simple response would suffice.
noted No    
    S5‑187303 JSON Schema related IETF draft reference update Ericsson LM (WG chairman) discussion Discussion Yes
YesEricsson presented the document, noting that the text came from the IETF Coordinator (aka Chairman of TST CT). It was noted that the spec numbers for SA5 were incorrect. During the week there was further discussion on several email lists. However, the situation was not yet stable. It would be discussed at CT#82.

Yes
noted No    
    S5‑187288 Service Based Trace Management Nokia Korea WID new   Yes
YesNokia had observed that there was no workable Trace IRP for service-abased trace management. Such studdies should result in a TR, and the normative work could be expected to affect the listed TSs. Intel wondered whether it was really possible to procude the TR by December 2018. Nokia believed that discussions might reveal that no TR was actually needed. Deutsche Telekom was also concerned about a normative work item requiring a TR. They were concerned about the mechaniisms needed, an Nokia responded to how this could be accomplished (a new management service, or modifications to an existing one). Huawei wondered whewther 5G network related trace was also covered by the WID. Nokia replied that this aspect was already covered in other specs, and that there were no dedicated 5G trace specs. Huawei believed that no TR would be necessary. Nokia invited all interested parties to off line discussion, with a view to completing the WI in as short a time as possible. NEC was concerned about the list of affected specs, and Nokia sought to clarify that no new SBMA was intended, and no new TS was needed. NEC believed that a study phase was probably needed, and he required further elaboration of the text. Intel noted the intention to update the trace IRPs. Nokia explained the nature of the changes to the existing specs, and would be happy to generate a new TS if really necessary. The session chairman believed that a discussion paper would be required on this, or alternatively, to prepare a study item rather than the normative WI at this stage. However Nokia was concerned that the matter was relatively urgent, but it should be easy to complete in Rel-16.

    S5‑187046 R16 CR 28.541 Add GUtranRelation Class ZTE Wistron Telecom AB CR Agreement Yes
YesHuawei questioned the provisions for handover to a UTAN cell, and wondered whether this was yet supported in RAN3. There was nothing about UTRAN generic cell in the definitions. Intel remarked a typo in the document shich needed correction. Ericsson was concerned about the symmetry and relationships of the classes. There was need for architecture alignment. There was contributions from Huwawei and others on this topic. MCC had noticed that the proposed WI code was not appropriate to a Rel-16 CR. A "phase 2" WI was needed. It was pointed out that there was a proposed new work item from the previous meeting but that was still not TSG approved. Alternatively, the CR could be Rel-15.
not pursued No    
    S5‑187047 R16 CR 28.541 Add Beam Class ZTE Wistron Telecom AB CR Agreement Yes
YesThe same MCC remarks about invalid WI code or invalid Release applied. Pivoltal Commware was worried about ensuring a harmonised approach with RAN groups relating to SON use cases. The NRM model was still open as far as these issues were concerned. Cisco assumed that the document related to static or semi-static configuraton of beams. How did the switching work? Intel pointed out that there were already attributes which defined the beams. For Rel-15, Pivoltal Commware suggested that beams were treated as sectors, and this needed improvement for Rel-16.

    S5‑187060 TD on NR cell frequency relation Ericsson Inc. discussion Endorsement Yes
YesThe proposal was to add NRM fragments to several specs. This document was an addition to the proposals from Huawei. Huawei proposed some corrections relating to the title relating to internal or external frequencies. Intel asked for a discription about the relation between frequencies and cell relations. This had been discussed at the previous meeting. This was to reduce the number of duplicate attributes. But care was needed to maintain backward compatibility. Nokia did not like the "lazy" UML representation and was concerned about the semantics of the use of different colours and symbols, which was not explained. Was the frequency now a property of the sub-network? (It was pointed out that IETF used this text method for drawing figures.

YesIntel wanted clearer text for the new objects, and there was confusion over consumer and producer roles. Ericsson did not believe this last point to be valid. Cisco supposed hat the proposal was a replacement for a job-based paradigm, and what was the benefit? Ericsson explained the model at length. Intel noted that the attributes were repeated, was this really necessary? There was also concern over timers. Again, Ericsson explained the proposals. The category should have been B not F.

YesNokia agreed that both figures of clause 3.3 were possible, but there was no definition of the functionality of gNB-CU and gNB-DU. The gNB-CU of option 2 did not expose the full RAN. Ericsson believed tht the specification did not provide sufficient detail to allow either of these options to be implemented. Ericsson proposed some additional wording relating to management provisioning services. Nokia was worried that NF was not clearly defined, so additional definitions were not useful: the services should define to each MO defined, and no restatement of requirements was needed.Cisco did not agree. Intel agreed with having both options. But the service was for the NF, not its components: CU and DU were treated as network functions. Indeed some attributes were duplicated, and this needed to be fixed.

YesEricsson had some concern over the formula at the end of 6.X.1.1. Most of the energy wastage was in the UK rather than the Node-B. It was noted that the formula had not been invented by SA5. Intel was concerned over the energy at cell level. Some other formula would be needed for this. It was questioned whether a new WI were needed to cover this particular measurement. Also, was this specification also needed for ealeer Releases? Further, the term "efficiency" was not appropriate in this context, since it was not expressed as a percentage. Huawei stated that the objective was to have some agreed way of measuring the KPI. But since the terminology had not been invented by SA5, it was difficult to change. ETSI TC EE and ITU-T SG5 had devised the terminology.

YesThe session chairman questioned the usefulness of the additional use cases. Noka questioned whether it was useful to specify requirements for a "toolbox" such as this spec. Cisco questioned the wording of clause 5.1.X.1: was "because" correct? Perhaps the whole sentence was unnecessary. Ericsson considered that the correlatedNotifications was mandatory, not optional, in table 5.1.X.2 - this was a long-standing misunderstanding. It should have been Conditional Mandatory. This implied an extensive CR to correct all such existing cases. Ericsson was concerned over the distinction between MOI and MO. The text needed to be harmonized.

YesNokia questioned some wording which seemed to preclude use of any exissting stage 3 solutions (clause 5.2.X). Cisco believed it was a good idea to make the management services discoverable, but this CR underestimated the complexity of the issue. The operator might have a multiple vendor network, and might manage different groups of devices. This should be reflected in this CR. The same applied to the CR in '7149. Ericsson thought the requirement was insufficient: what was the goal of the exercise? What was the point of knowing the capabilities of the service provider? Nokia believed a general discussion on how all this should work: was everything to be stored centrally or would a federated approach be better? The CR was replaced by S5-187360.

Huawei considered it desirable to treat all the related CRs together. NEC thought that this was a very complex issue, and should be dealt with fully at Release 16 rather than dabbling at Release 15. Cisco supported the objectives of this document but wished it to be clarified what information was needed, what the service was to provide.

YesCisco wondered how the proposal would cater for carrier aggregation, so the server would operate on several channels simultaneously. Huawei explained figure 4.2.1.1-X ensured this capability. Ericsson believed this figure was ok, but was incomplete: the NR frequency relationship had attributes which justified this work. But further reductions were possible to eliminate common functionality. The structure of the classes was satisfactory, but the complete picture was needed. The session chairman wondered whether this CR could be combined with the ZTE one on the same topic. Ericsson had doubts about the viability of this, especially when Ericsson's views were taken into account. The session chairman believed the discussion paper was the first priority.

YesPivotal Commware indicated the logic for using phi and theta rather than horizontal and vertical for reasons of alighment of terminoligy related to beams. Nokia was pleased to see correct terminology in this revised version. There was some doubt whether there was technical content change compared to the previous version or not. Ericsson noted the change from O to CM, but the condition was not given. The requirement was too general, so this solution was not really useful: did it actually support the requirement? Pivotal Commware endeavoured to respond to these remarks. Ericsson believed it was a big step to change from "monitoring" to "active management". The NRM needed functionality to handle this. The source company believed the market needed monitoring and measuring urgently. Huawei had some concerns over the four new attributes. Intel wondered whether the model handled single or multiple beams. Pivotal Commware stated that multiple, dynamic, beams were handled. A CR to 28.540 was needed to provide a definitive requirement statement.

ZTE believed that MANO was responsible for network services, and some discussion with ETSI was needed. Deutsche Telekom was also not in favour of this approach.

YesIntel stated that the contribution was supported by additional companies. Nanjing Ericsson Panda identified some editorial problem with the title of clause 6.1.a.2 and with the text of 6.2.a.2. If the stream was a channel, the data would be captured, and the wording needed clarification. Nokia liked the proposal but was concerned that the job control and measuremeent reporting were mixed. It appeared that redundant steps resulted (in, eg, 6.1.a.1. Triggering a job should trigger measurement, but streaming should not. Which entity was responsible for establishing the streaming channel, producer or consumer? (Answer: consumer.) Multiple streams going through the same channel was an unnecessary complication. Cisco wondered that, in view of contribution '7066, this contribution was somewhat similar. Intel denied this. Nokia agreed with Cisco. Huawei offered another solution for the job creation, with the provider creating theh connection to the consumer. Ericsson thought the overhead was reasonable, but might be further reduced further by a few bytes. Also, the text was ambiguous: what was the meaning of "reliable"? Greater reliability implied additional overhead: reliable = slow!

The propsoed change would support only a two split gNode-B, and this would not be acceptable to all vendors. Either a new measurement needed to be provided, or a measurement for both two and three split could be provided (bullet point f). ZTE thought UP functions neeeded to refer to the CU cell, and the Huawei position was acceptable. Intel considered the Ericsson point was good.

The spec was thought to be 80% complete. But the Chairman noted that the the WI was already declared as 100% complete.

Orange clarified that E-UTAN had no need for configuration of the sleep timer, but was a new feature of NG-RAN (advanced sleep mode). Nanjing Ericsson Panda wondered whether an LS to ITU might be needed if this solution were eventually accepted. Huawai had detailed comments to the parameters. Should these parameters be set using an on-the-fly approach? The RAN specification implied that just one parameter should be set during the cell setup phase. Orange agreed that this was possible, depending on operator policy. Maybe different values might be used for day time and night time. Maybe an LS to RAN was needed to determine whether a concrete CR would be needed. But Orange had already discussed this internally and believed the solution to be viable. It was questioned whether support of sSBurstSetPeriodicity might be CM rather than M. In the RAN spec, this was Optional, and there was a default value. The subject would be persued at the next meeting.

YesIt was noted that some elements of new text did not bear revision marks. Also the semantics of the condition needed to be defined. Nanjing Ericsson Panda was concerned about the definition of the new atrribuge and its provision. Ericsson noted tht the new figure related to eNode-B management functions. Intel disagreed, but this needed to be checked. Nokia noted that the type of the new attribute was "string", but its structure was rather complex: it was in fact a list of functions realing to the WLAN, and a simple string was a lazy way of defining it. It needed a new type definition. Also, what was the meaning of not applicable?

Why was it necessary to count them? - the decision is performed by the eNode-B. Measurement 2 was difficult - this (counting messages received from the WT at the end point) was a wrong approach.

6.5.4 Network policy management for mobile networks based on NFV scenarios S5‑187175 Add Policy management architecture China Mobile pCR Approval Yes
YesNokia questioned the meaning of NM and EM. How did this pertain to 5G architecture? China mobile indicated that the scope of this was only LTE. Orange noted that the ddraft 28.311 was clearly covering 5G. Cisco believed the NM / EM model was not applicable to virtualized architecture. Nanjing Ericsson Panda shared these concerns: were 3GPP requirements different from those specified by ETSI? The work item scope was for NFV. Orange did not consider that the figure was an NFV policy as suggested by the immediately preceding text. The interfaces [reference points] should be explicitly named. Ericsson did not consider this document to cover policy on NFV, rather it was a behavioural description. The document's scope was unclear. Deutsche Telekom was puzzled by the diagram and its title: no reference points were indicated. Nokia believed there was a lot of unclarity over the scope of the contribution. A few minor editorials were noticed. The secretary noticed that this document, and many other pCRs, gave no indication of which (draft) spec was concerned, and not even an indication of the work item concerned, which could only be inferred from the title of the agenda item. The Chairman agreed that this aspect could be improved and encouraged contributors to explicity mention the spec and, if necessary, the work item in the tdocs themselves..

    S5‑187069 TD YANG solution style guide Ericsson Inc. discussion Endorsement Yes
Yes[It was noted that this was a late document.] Ericsson indicated that the document covered the modelling rules, but the wording in the contribution was not directly appropriate for inclusion in a TS. The need was to map the UML to the protocol. YANG was itself a modelling tool, and some discussion on the style guide was needed. Nokia had already made several pertinent points. Nokia wondered what was the document's relation to REST and JSON. Both of these had similar concepts, eg inheritance. Could these things be coupled fo make migration easier. YANG was not a long term solution. What were the filtering capabilities? Cf NetConf. Ericsson apologised for the late appearance, and urged delegates to examine clauses 6.2, 5.1.4 and 5.3.1.2: these were very important and needed to be reviewed in depth. In view of the late availability of the document, no final position could be reached at the present meeting. Delegates were urged to review it as requested by Ericsson and be prepared to discuss it at the next meeting. Discussion should start on the OEM email exploder.

YesNokia sought delegates' views on the form of the presentation in the tables. The document was more detailed than a similar one from Ericsson. It was clarified that this text was a new annex to the draft spec [which one?! - 32.160]. Ericsson questioned whether the first two lines of the table in A.X.2 were really necessary. The author indicated that "supper" was meant to indicate the parent (superior) class. The Chairman wondered whether the final TS would include both of the options, and Nokia clarified that this was the case. The Chairman proposed to remove the word enhancement, and this was agreed. Ericsson questioned the difference between rule and template.Further improvement of the Scope clause was needed, and maybe even the title of the spec itself. Would the spec also cover the protocols? In view of the title of the spec, which covered stages 2 and 3, then probably yes. Further wording changes were suggested.

Nokia stated that this was the consequence of different terminology in use in IOC and YANG. The term "root" was preferred. It was further clarified that this was a pCR to 28.160 (generic guidelines) but if accepted, there would also need to be an inclusion in 28.623.

Nokia replied that the order was not important. Text could be added to indicate this. Ericsson also believed there was confusion over classes and managed objects. There was further confusing terminology. Ericsson further believed that A.X.2 was not independent: the stage 3 author had to decide which object was intended. There was evidently confusion over what was meant by an "independent" managed object. In A.X.6, how was the date to be determined? This was the date of upload of the spec (the cover of the spec showed year and month).

The session chairman believed that CT4 already had a solution to this question. Huawei sought clarification on the tool needed. ZTE had further questions on the identification of the version. Ericsson thought the check is just to check the implementation of the CR, but did not check the syntax of the overall code. Why could the tool not do this? Nokia explained that the changes would be made on the YANG file. But Ericsson considered that this was the responsibility of MCC. How was the checking to be done? The secretary described the method proposed by CT4. Nokia believed that the current methods were error-prone.

Intel agreed with Ericsson's explanation. Nokia proposed to make an abbreviation for "support qualifier". This would make the table layout much more elegant (and indeed had already used it in some contributions). Ericsson thought this would need a separate contribution for the template and this would be a major revision to introduce everywhere. Huawei referred to the attributes, questioning how the table could fulfill all requirements of all different users. Ericsson was concerned that there was a danger of introducing untestable requirements into the stage 3. A standardized mechanism was needed.

6.5.6 Intent driven management service for mobile networks S5‑187155 pCR 28.812 Add concept for utilization of intent Huawei pCR Approval Yes
YesCisco asked how the figure would be standardized. Huawei replied that the intent was to standardize the intent. First it was necessary to recognize the scenarios. Cisco believed it was very complex to formulate such language. Intel believed that the figure represented a typical service. Huawei gave the example of handling five million smart meters. Orange believed the concept of intent was useful when two communicating entitiies did not have the same level of knowledge, for example rows in 28.530. Nokia agreed. The present document was not aligned with 28.530. The document did not discuss the level of detail of communication. He believed the text was lacking in substance. Huawei understood the problem but had difficulty in expressing the intentions in appropriate language. Ericsson thought some of the language was too vague, and repeated the arguments he had offered at the previous meeting. The scope of the TR was very wide. The scope of "intent" should be limited to avoid ambiguity. Deutsche Telekom wished to know if there was a definition of "communication service" and management of same. The study TR was as yet only a skeleton. Huawei understood that the last paragraph implied that one network could be consumer of information provided by another. This gave a very detailed intent.

YesThe only change was the replacement of the figure. NEC thought there was an assumption that all the mechanisms in the network would be triggered by the intent. But these mechanisms are run in the network to optimize performance. Maybe the use cases could be more explicit to avoid this confusion. Huawei sought to clarify the meaning. Nokia thought that things like ANR standardized many years ago, but it seemed from this text that these mechanisms no longer worked and needed to be replaced by "intent". Nokia believed that this contribution was re-inventing the wheel. Legacy products already did what was being described here. Huawei stated that the document only provided examples. Cisco was concerned with the whole approach which was difficult to use in practice: how could network optimization be expressed in terms of intent? Optimization was extremely complex, and had to balance multiple conflicting targets. Compromise and trade-off would always be needed. Orange agreed. There was no need for the concept of "intent". Ericsson proposed to add a note to distinguish this new approach from traditional SON. Was intent-based specification a higher level concept compared to the traditional approach. But there was nothing new here unless there was a mechanism to automatically translate natural language into operational rules. The proposed note would indicate that the distinction was FFS. Huawei cited the example of roaming, and how this was currently handled. Ericsson replied that of course roaming was already adequately handled by existing methods. Intel thought that there might be cases where target setting could be viewed as "intent". If no solution as to how "intent" was to be realized was offered, there was limited value in the Huawei proposal. Huawei stated that the intention was not to replace existing mechanisms by "intent", it was just a better way to express goals. Ericsson supported the inclusion of the note mentioned above if it could be very concrete. But there was little interest in standardizing this concept. For each well-known use case there was no interest in intent. Huawei believed their approach would simplify use cases by providing a generic approach. Ericsson still believed this was a solution looking for a problem.

YesNokia wondered how this differed from SON configuration. There was no need for "intent". Huawei replied that this was a higher level than SON. This was a concern to Nokia: SON was not "legacy" technology, it was still applicable to 5G, and counld be considered atboth high and low levels. Huawei stated that there was no intention to make SON obsolete. This wold enable the network provider to optimize services, but the exact means of doing so was not yet specified. Huawei wished to concentrate on the meaing of "intent" but not go into fine details at this stage. It could be used to define a himan interface. Cisco had encountered the view that this sort of functionality could be standardized, but believed that this was not so due to the complexity and the number of parameters and trade offs to be resolved. Even the definition of terms ws difficult to standardize from one network provider or vendor to another. For example what did the intention "optimize network utilization" imply? Huawei understood the problem of complexity. The precondition was an attempt to limit the scope of the problem. Deutsche Telekom wished to understand what was the target. Was it a question of refinement of high level desires?

YesNokia did not believe that this was a good example of an intent. The intent would be better expressed as "ensure telecommunications along highway 417 between points X and Y". ZTE thought an operator needed to have an intention to provide any service. Everything was an intent! Huawei thought that was too narrow an interpretation. Ericsson asked if the intent expression was to be standardized. If not, it was not at all clear what the topic intended. Huawei stated that this was explained by the second sentence in the first paragraph. Ericsson disagreed: what was the standardized language? Huawei recalled that the goal of standardizing expression was mentioned in the scope of the TR. Cisco understood that clause 4.1.2 intended to provide a solution in terms of a standardized language and syntax. Also, the example given was good insofar as it was incomplete. It should also describe the potential compromises in terms of, for example, QoS in the case where adequate network resources were not available. Huawei agreed on the complexity issue, but here was just an example of what information might be included in the intent. There was no plan to include semantics or syntax at this point. Deutsche Telekom proposed a top down approach, and the example was just that, only an example. But the target was not well expressed. What was it intended to standardize at the end of the day? It was only possible to standardize input and output. NEC believed that the idea here was to translate from high level language to low level language. But was it the intention to provide some algorithm to carry out this operation? Huawei stated that the translation part would not be standardized. How the translation was performed (eg to the configuration of a cell) was not within the scope of the TR.

For information, China Mobile made the CQI calculation in both PMI and non-PMI modes. Ericsson wondered who was the receiver of this informoation. Ericsson also agreed with Huawei on the PMI separation question.

Intel could support either two separate counters or a combination of the two. Ericsson believed that one counter was preferable. Huawei preferred separate counters as being clearer. ZTE and Huawei could not agree on the better approach. Cisco stated that in 5G there could be simultaneous transmission based on different tables, and the Huawei contribution assumed always one table. Concerning the ove vs two dimention question, it should be possible to use the same index, thus solving the problem of dimentions.

YesHuawei asked why 16- and 64-QAM counters were not considered. Also, in clause 5.1.1.X.3 , how would this work? What was the difference between 5.1.1.X.4 and the X.file. ZTE believed that MU-MIMO would need a lot of layers. Ericsson point d of 5.1.1.X.4 should indicate a set of integer values rather than a single one. In 5.1.1.X.5 the existing layer could not handle the transmission properly. It was not clear. For the uplink cases eg clause 5.1.1.X.8, was SU-MIMO excluded? ZTE explaned the situation for residential TBs. Intel wondered wihether the sub value should need a sepaate counter. ZTE referred to point g of 5.1.1.X.8 .

YesIntel agreed that measuring the data volume was useful. But for 5G, the protocol level needed to be considered. ZTE responded that different core network configurations could be expected, so the highest layer had been chosen to be common across all networks. Huawey had similar comments to that on the previous document. For example, point e of 5.1.1.X.1 was not implementable, it was difficult to see how the calculation could be performed. RLC level was not necessary, and for PDPC splitting, Huawei proposed a different approach. ZTE explained their approach in detail. Ericsson, at a previous meeting SA5 had asked RAN2 to define such measurements, so it was up to RAN2. The proposed measurement was not possible in a dual bearer configuration.There was a Huawei contribution on this in S5-187210. Orange wondered which criteria allowed measurement to be defined by RAN2 as opposed to SA5. Ericsson suggested that radio parameters were the province of RAN2. Intel said that the LTE approach was to distinguish between MAC layer and layer 2. But for LTE RRC there was no need to consult RAN2. Ericsson recalled that there was a long-standing agreement along these lines. RAN2 should detail the measurements in their own specs. Orange had noted that the LS which SA5 had sent to RAN2 had simply been noted and not taken any action. Ericsson indicated that RAN2 had been too busy to do this, so had allowed SA5 to do it.

YesHuawei's comments on the previouis document applied here. The solution might not be implementable. Ericsson agreed. SA5 should wait for a response from RAN2. Meanwhile, the data volume was defined by cell so was applicable only to two-split measurements, and this was not appropriate. But this could be solved. Cisco noted that the contribution refered of bits, but the management objects, whereas the data transfer was in fact between GNDU and GNCU. Intel believed that the comment from Ericsson was very important. It would then be possible to perform measurements down to cell level. The model should support this. Huawei suggested to examine the use case, using the LTE method. RAN2 should be consulted. Intel recalled that RAN2 was only consulted on layer 2 matters. Layer1 and layer 3 could be done by SA2. It seemed necessary to arrive at an agreed principle. Ericsson suggested toing back to the wording of the original ageement. Finally it was agreed to merge S5-187055 and '7210.

YesEricsson believed this CR was premature because the measurement had not yet been defined. Intel thought there was a possible way forward. Huawei feared the contents of the measurements might be too large and this might be an issue for operators. Some disagreement remained at the end of a discussion on this point. Cisco believed it would be able to judge how many mobiles were close to / far from the base station, and this was an important measurement. Ericsson observed that the place where one measured could also be useful. Huawei referred to the LTE case, where the statistics were based on the cell.

YesThe discusson paper was by way of justification for S5-187070. Intel wondered whether the new term NPI wholey replaced KPIs. Cisco replied that this was not the intention. Ericsson believed the original "confusion" over "KP"I and "measurement" was really just editorial. Was a new term really necessary, could not the objective be met by redefining the term KPI? Cisco stressed that different terms were needed for different concepts. End to end measurements were quite different from measurements made at a given point. It was important to avoid confusion over terminology. China Mobile wished for examples of different measureemtns. End to end KPIs were a different kettle of fish. Cisco that this only emphasised the need for well understood terms to be used. Huawei's main comment was that for the subnetwork and slice, new terms might be needed. The difference between performance measurements and KPIs was not always evident, and sometimes were used interchangeably. This was obviously wrong: KPIs were "key" whereas not all sundry measurements couls be so described. But maybe the new NPIs concept was in fact equivalent to KPIs. Cisco partially agreed, but noted that some KPIs comprised combinations of several measurments.

YesNokia gave some detailed feedback and wondered whether there was really a need for the new term NPI. This could lead to some simplification of the text. Cisco feared over simplification, and was adamant that an agreed vocabulary was needed. Intel understood that performance indicators might be an aggregate of measurements. Intel clamed that it was possible to have a generic definition: it was necessary to clearly indicate the trigger and how the aggregation was performed. Huawei supported the idea, but some more discussion on NPI was needed. Text could be taken from the preceding discussion paper. Huawei was against the simplification of the initial text proposed by Nokia. Nokia agreed that it would be good to update the template to provide examples of different types of performance indicator.

YesNokia observed that the measurements were at the function level, but there was not a 1:1 mapping to VRs. Intel had considered ths point, and the derivation algorithm was vendor-specific. Nokia believed the detail in the CR limited an implementor's algorithm. And ultimately, what use would an operator make of these measurements? ZTE thought that it was necesasry to differentiate the core network and network functions. Intel disagreed. Ericsson recalled discussions that had taken place on virtualization. If the measurements were to be split into all the different functions, MANO would provide values, but some software would be necessary in user applications. How should the vendor-specific combinations be achieved? Intel replied that the producer knew how to do this. Ericsson thought that the overal VNF operation was of interest, not the individual parameters.

Ericsson thought the spectral efficiency information was not clear. The two CRs were not equivalent.

YesEricsson did not understand the relationship between this use case and Release 15. There seemed to be a different solution from that of Rel-15. Huawei explained that this had been discussed at the previous meeting. Nokia was confused by the post-conditions.The implication was that both services had to be produced by the same entity, and this was faulty logic. The granularity of services needed to be considered.

YesNanjing Ericsson Panda was not sure that ONAP DCAE had in fact provided an interface. Had this proposal been considered by RAN3? Nokia believed that ONAP did indeed provide services, and the interface was well documented. But did SA5 wish to edorse it. Further, concerning the data flow, DCAD supported plug-ins. Did 3GPP wish to endorse DNAP? Huawei wondered if other interfaces might be available. Nokia believed that the figure was disconnected from the text. Huawei responded that the change was still under development, and not everything had yet been decided. Nokia reported that the example interfaces did not in fact exist. Orange had similar comments. The figure was very general. Was it the intention to add this figure to the ONAP definition? DCAE interfaces were internal to ONAP, but once they were exposed to the outside, they became accessible. All ONAP components should be present. Nanjing Ericsson Panda thought a global picture would be needed, how to provide data to the outside. Cisco did not think the text agreed with the figure. The MDAS provider's services were not shown. The figure needed to have more detail. Analytics should be defined as part of a general scheme.

VF-C was already accessible in ONAP release 3. But VF-C did not expose services per se. The lollipops and chicken feet were not a good way of showing the entention in the figure.

Surely a decision was already to use YANG? But evidently NETCONF required something more. Nokia thought there was a misunderstanding at 6.2.1 between services and controlers. The present text was misleading. It had not been agreed that 3GPP would introduce NETCONF. Ericsson asked if there was a requirement for ONAP, and an expectation from vendors and operators. Orange believed that there were some requirement mentioned in a contribution. But Nokia disagreed that these were requirements. Evidently further analysis of theh gap was needed, to see if there was a requirement from ONAP.

YesThe same remards concerning "DN" applied. There was also a hanging pragraph. Nokia believed that this was just a description of a deployment scenario specified elsewhere. But where? Intel stated that edge computing was defined elsewhere, but OSS was confusing. This claim proved somewhat contentious and a lengthy discussion involving Intel, Cisco, Nokia, Samsung and others ensued. It was recalled that the mobile edge computing environment had end-to-end objectives, and most (non-IMS) services did not have end-to-end control, but here was described a mechanism for achieving ultra-reliable, low-latency goals via E2E control. It had to be decided what mechanism was to be used for this. Intel agreed, and Nokkia also subscribed to this goal, but believed that there was no existing E2E OSS. Intel accepted that this was a valid concern. It was necessary to have a name for this E2E OSS concept. Ericsson agreed with the foregoing, but wondered what was so special about NR cells? Cisco believed the contribution was not helpful. Samsung clarified that the objective was to deliver QoS using whatever information was available.

There should be no importation from other groups' specifications in this document. Ericsson thought it was useful to indicate the context of the use case.

YesNokia believed that the N6 was inappropriate. The use of "local DN" was not appropriate (same commenet as previous documents). Cisco was puzzled by some unclear wording. The whole use case was of limited interest. Samsung agreed: the objective was not to define how to construct a data network. The use case should describe what was needed, not how. Huawei had similar comments, and there ws no need for this use case. Intel defended it with reference to the work item description, and used the concept of the local data network defined by SA2. Telecom Italia asked whether the local data network was a DNF (Intel said yes), and a UPF could be configured to point to elements outside the scope of a 3GPP network.

YesCisco believed that everything should start from the use case, but this was not easy to agree with. Similar comments applied as had done for the previous use case documents. The terminology was unclear. Ericsson agreed that better definitions were needed, citing management systems defined by other organizations. Intel responded that network operators had complex environements. Cisco was in favour of end to end management systems, but there was no need to dramatically change the architecture or service model. It could be accepted that there were external components which needed to be communicated with. 3GPP should concentrate on its own management system. Samsung thought that management interfaces were already being considered, eg with ONAP, MEC, … A horizontal approach should be taken. Intel appreciated these comments, and agreed with the ideas put forward. This contribution sought to cover both cases (3GPP and external management systems) usng a service-basded approach, and seeking to avoid any unnecessary limitations.

YesCisco believed that vehicles would be controlled by distributed systems, so did not think this use case was realistic. But it was a good aim to have RAN condition data available, but applied to a different use case. Ericsson wondered where this requirement had come from. Intel said that they had proposed the use case. Huawei observed there were four conditions which could be reported by the RAN, and wondered how the application would differentiate: surely the information was all important, and its reliability. Intel elaborated on the different conditions. Ericsson stressed that it was always important to know how the information received was to be treated. Telecom Italia focussed on the requirement: if APIs were exposed, any external user could make use of them. What was new about this use case? Samsung stated that the RAN already had to provide QoS: there was no need for this use case. Cisco suggested that a new application be defined to justify the use case.

YesThis was a continuation of S5-187198. Nokia questioned what was meant by management services. Huawei clarified that this was what would be exposed for external use. Huawei clarified also that MnS Providers were not necessarily (other) network operators. Nokia thought that what was presented was nothing new. Huawei stated that the requirement could be met by either of the two architectural options presented; most secure was option 2, which had complete isolation via a dedicated MnS Consumer. Huawey believed that an operator would never offer CM data to tenants, so this was a poor example that Nokia had taken. PM data had to be isolated. This needed to be clarified. Cisoco thought the use case should provide examples of producers, tenants (business entities), and data descriptions. The use case as presented was too generic.

Ericsson believed that in practice, SLAs would be managed at BSS level, translated into service requirements which needed to be assure. Operators would have hundreds of SLAs. Should network elements be aware of these? And if not, where would the translation be performed? Duetsche Telekom noted there were several options, eg end to end via several domains, or levels within a single domain. The word "multi-degree" was misleading. At present there were operation level agreements. Clarification was needed.

YesEricsson wonered what is meant by "subscribed [to] the communication service". Huawei explained the concept of subscription to a communication service. Ericsson descrited this concept in a very different manner. On the requirements, the language could be improved. Telecom Italia wondered whether, in requirement 1, it was the operator or the service provider? Huawei confirmed that the text did indeed mean operator. Telecom Italia also proposed that the communicaton service provider also have this capability. PI Works thought that the words "have the capability" implies autonomous ability to configure, and this limited the scope of the capabilities. Orange returned to the first requirement. This was the responsibility of the communication service provider, rather than the operator. Deutsche Telekom questioned the need for a separate requirement 3. Some editorials were identified. This document was merged into S5-157504.

The sequence of objectives could be improved. Deutsche Telekom made a similar comment about the first requirement as had been made for the previous document. It was not understood why it should be necessary to terminate the NSI, because an NSI might serve serveral users. PI Works aimed to allow control to the vertical users of the network.

Cisco noted that currently there was no definition of a communication class, and it was not necessary to define an instance. Orange drew attention to the use of "users" which tended to imply human uwers. This was inappropriate. Deutsche Telekom wished to clarify the first definition: what was a communication requirement.

Deutsche Telekom found the first figure rather confusing. For the figure under Role of CSMF, surely the arrows should have been shown bidrectional. The OSS aspect were beyond the scope of SA5. Elements taken from Wikipedia were not appropriate for a 3GPP paper. Finally, there was no definition of communication services. Ericsson thought that, in this early stage document, it was ok to leave things slightly vague. Eircsson said that they had used the network slice because this was a well known concept. Cisco asked why it was necessary to decide whether an element belonged to either BSS or OSS. Ericsson recommended option C and had a pCR on this.

YesNokia suggested there could be higher-level control loops. The hybrid SON view was slightly misleading because the coordination needed to be shown. Cisco opposed the controbution for many reasons: the methodology proposed was not helpful. Distributed SON was not the business of SA5. There was no longer a reference model in the 5G era. Huawei bellieved that a similar diagram had been seen at the preveious meeting; SA5 should use similar figures across the documents. Further it was not necessary to completely redefine things which had already been adequately defined elsewhere. Deutsche Telekom made reference to the open loop definition which had been used for LTE, which implied human intervention. Orange noted the NFs in the diagrams: these could be replaced by some management services. Intel saw the point, but wished to maintain a general level of desctiption.

YesCisco opposed the controbution for many reasons: the methodology proposed was not helpful. The use case should include the goal but also includes a statement of the resources and the sequence of steps. This contribution gathered too many complex ideas to be sensibly treated together. It should be split into separate tdocs. Intel responded that use cases should be categorized to give better readability. Some of the aspects had been copied over from LTE. Nokia commented on the self-establishment topic. The network function could not estabish itself, so the wording was confusing. Intel stated that this had already been defined for LTE. Ericsson was puzzled that these elements were called "key issues". The information in this document should be recast into the structure proposed in a separate document by Ericsson. Intel had intended to give an overview of all the issues and wished to work with others on the structure. Orange maintained that automatic creation of NSSIs was not SON. Intel accepted this.

    S5‑187073 pCR to 28.861 ANR SON function Cisco Systems Inc. pCR Approval Yes
YesIntel thought this was more about automatic ANR optimization (black list, white list, etc). But this was beyond ANR. Cisco agreed and proposed to change the name. Nokia agreed that this was a new concept for ANR, and this should not preclude other ANR use cases. Nokia recalled the D-SON / C-SON discussions of the past. Cisco agreed but this was not the onnly possible scenario. IP Works was concerned with what kind of optimization of measurements would be made. Cisco said it was not related necessarily to MRO because "mobility" was mentioned. IP Works thought further deliberation time was needed. Ericsson wished for the name to be changed, but maybe it would be good to give an indication of the relation between "traditional" ANR and this new concept. Ericsson and Nokia discussed the nature of open loop manaagement for some minutes. Huawei had seen many different management systems mentioned in the document. What was the relation between these and the ANR function? Cisco said that the goal was not quite accurate as presently stated. Huawei referred to the second paragraph o fthe pre-conditions. Was the ANR function a subscriber to the NR-RAN provisionaing amagement service? Cisco believed that the answer to this would be too detailed for this document. Thirdly Huaway saw that all measurements would be monitored and then action taken. There was no differentiation between steps, would this reuse the provisioning service. Cisco said yes. Finally, the document was merged with others into S5-187509.

There was a need to include steps. The requirements were rather too general and should relate more to the SON perspective. Cisco replied that SON did not require anything beyond performance measurement and configuration capability. Requirements were expressed in terms of performance indicators. A detailed discussion between Intel and Cisco ensued. Huawei recalled the case of NDEF in Rel-15. How did this fit into the scenario? Cisco thought there was a need for some general text relating to all use cases, and this would be the place to mention the analytics arising from NDEF. Intel thought that Huawei's point was good.

    S5‑187228 pCR 28.861 add use case for beam coverage and capacity optimization Intel Corporation (UK) Ltd pCR Approval Yes
YesNokia believed that the requirements were wrong. In the introduction, the text should not denigrate LTE. Huawei questioned the method of writing the use cases. For LTE, it was done in more dtail. The beam-based scenario described for NR RAN was not as good. Intel cited another, Cisco, contribution on the subject. Huawei though the use case was the same as for LTE, but the solutions could use the enhanced features of NR. Nokia agreed wholeheartedly.Also, the text and the figure did not agree with each other.
revised No S5‑187513  
    S5‑187513 pCR 28.861 add use case for beam coverage and capacity optimization Intel Corporation (UK) Ltd pCR Approval Yes
YesNokia thought the text, and the diagram, implied static beams. It mixed beams and sectors. Beams did not fix coverage problems, beams were dynamic. This was a radio use case. Intel defended it as relating to cells. Pivotal Commware agreed the diagram was inadequate, but beams could indeed be used to fill covererage holes.
