Subject: SA5 Results at SA#31

Dear SA5 colleagues,
Please find below a summary of SA5 results at SA#31 in Sanya, China, March 13-16 2006.

Please consult the SA#31 report for full details on the issues below and other items.

The Rel-5 Charging CR has been approved (1 CR). All Rel-6 & Rel-7 mirror Charging CRs have been approved (99 CRs). It was commented that some of these CRs were provided late at the last SWG-B meeting and care should be taken by SA5 to give delegates enough time to review CRs before they are approved. It was also noted that the approval of the SA5 SCUDIF CRs confirms the approval of the related TSG CT CRs.

All Rel-6 OAM&P and SuM CRs have been approved (33 OAM&P CRs, 2 SuM CRs). No specific quality issues were raised this time. However, it is to be noted that CRs on Solution Sets will be needed to complement the CR on TS 32.111-2 which was approved in SP-060094. For the Rel-6 CR on TS 32.435 which was approved in SP-060106, the Rel-7 Mirror is also expected at the next SA5 meeting.

All Rel-7 documents have been approved: 5 OAM&P CRs, 1 new OAM&P Study WID and 4 new TSs resulting from the split of Rel-7 TS 32.403 which was withdrawn. For next meeting, Rel-6 CRs should be submitted on TS 32.403 and Rel-7 CRs (mirror CRs or not) should be based on the new TSs 32.404, 32.405, 32.406 and 32.408 which were placed under TSG SA change control as version 7.0.0. An action item was given to SA5 to double check any redundancy between abbreviations and definitions in the new Rel-7 TSs resulting from the split of TS 32.403. General abbreviations and definitions should be defined in TS 32.404 and other TSs in the 32.40x series should refer to 32.404 for abbreviations and definitions. Finally, the 2 new draft TSs (SOAP SSs) submitted for information have been noted by TSG SA.

The Rel-7 Status progress was presented. It was mentioned that some WIDs with low completion rate might be at risk for Rel-7 and their status should be revisited at next SA5 meeting.

The TR 32.807 in SP-060073 "Status of SA WG 5 Release 7 OAM&P WIDs before TSG SA#31 (03/2006)" was presented. It was explained that this document will be continuously updated but not presented for approval by SA at any time. It was commented that this document should be in the 30.xxx series with other Program Management documents. It was re-allocated by the specifications manager to TR 30.817 and the report was then noted.

The LS in SP-060164 resulting from the f2f meeting with ATIS TMOC in January 2006 on NGN Charging harmonization was presented. It was explained that both TMOC and 3GPP feel that this LS provides the appropriate information and guidance for ITU-T to move forward on NGN Accounting Management work and that both TMOC and 3GPP stand ready to assist ITU-T in moving this work forward. Following the presentation, SA5 was urged to continue with their harmonization efforts and the LS was noted.

The 4 new Rel-7 SA2 WIDs with inputs from SWG-B on the Charging impacts were approved with editorial modifications in:
- SP-060217 "Evolution of policy control and flow based bearer level charging". Submitted to SA5#46 meeting as S5-064408r1.

- SP-060145 "System enhancements for fixed broadband access to IMS". Submitted to SA5#46 meeting as S5-064409.
- SP-060211 "Voice call continuity between CS and IMS (incl. I-WLAN)". Submitted to SA5#46 meeting as S5-064410r1.
- SP-060216 "Identification of Communication Services in IMS". Submitted to SA5#46 meeting as S5-064411r2.

It is to be noted that LSs were exchanged between OMA and 3GPP (SA1, SA2) on PoC and any Charging impacts have to be determined at next SWG-B meeting:

- SP-060155, SP-060161 (both in S5-064412 for SA5#46) LS exchange OMA-REQ and 3GPP (SA1) / 3GPP2 requesting support for PoC Session Priority Access Levels

- SP-060156, SP-060172 (both in S5-064413 for SA5#46) LS exchange OMA-REQ and 3GPP (SA2) requesting support for OMA PoC v2.0 Performance Enhancements

Thanks to Adrian for the preparation of the SA5 report and the active support during the SA meeting.
