noted No    
    R3‑162783 Enhanced LWIP network interface Intel Corporation, Qualcomm Incorporated, Mediatek Inc., China Telecom discussion Decision Yes
Yesmoved from AI 14 to AI 8.3 Proposal 1: The interface to be defined for eLWIP shall be terminated at the LWIP-SeGW. Proposal 2: based on the observations above illustrating numerous differences in LWA and LWIP user plane, it is proposed to define separate user plane interfaces, i.e. not to re-use Xw for eLWIP. Proposal 3: based on considerations similar to the ones elaborated on for user plane, we propose to define separate control plane interfaces and protocols for LWA and LWIP, which allow all possible LWA and LWIP deployment options. Nokia: LS is forcing us to change the architecture Intel: does not agree, LS does not request an architecture change RAN3 chair: discuss this over the coffee break (Wed morning) after offline discussion: Nokia: WI not implementable or 2 different options Ericsson: reuse Xw (Nokia) or develop a new interface (Intel/Qualcomm) are the 2 options; maybe reusing Xw but adding a new procedure could be a compromise Intel: is not really a compromise RAN3 chair: show of hands: who prefers to reuse Xw : 7 companies, who prefers new interface: 4 companies; can we take a working assumption to reuse Xw? Intel: no, would violate WI description (LWIP architecture shall not be changed) Nokia: architecture is changed due to SA2 LS and not via the WI RAN3 chair: we confirmed already: no interface to security gateway ATT: would really get this problem solved, both solutions will work, supports Xw extension RAN3 chair: so can we extend Xw? Qualcomm: these are independent interfaces, we did not reuse X2 for Xw etc. RAN3 chair: we could bring two sets of CRs to RAN #75; understood that LS was considered to be higher priority conclusion: further offline discussion needed in order to converge (ATT)
noted No    
    R3‑162967 Extending XwAP for eLWIP Ericsson LM discussion   Yes
YesProposal 1: All information required to be exchanged between the eNB and the LWIP-SeGW is UE-associated and is orthogonal to existing information currently exchanged for LWA. Proposal 2: No non-UE-associated information seems to be strictly needed for LWIP; this would be true also in case a new interface was to be specified for LWIP. Proposal 3: The current WT-Initiated WT Modification procedure can be used to e.g. request a change of UP TNL address from the WT. Proposal 4: In case the WT supports LWA only, LWIP only, or both and, the current Xw Setup can be reused without changes. Proposal 5: RAN3 should discuss the options for Xw Setup and agree on the most suitable way forward. Proposal 6: In case no BSSIDs were signaled at Xw Setup, WT resource status reporting cannot be used; however, this is an issue also with current LWA. Proposal 7: Reuse the current WT Release procedures for LWIP. Proposal 8: In case the WT supports LWA but not LWIP, it shall fail LWIP Addition Preparation; in case the WT supports LWIP but not LWA, it shall fail WT Addition Preparation. Proposal 9: If the WT supports both LWA and LWIP and it receives an LWIP ADDITION REQUEST message concerning a UE for which LWA is ongoing, it shall fail that procedure, and vice versa. Proposal 10: Discuss and agree the CRs in [5] and [6]. Intel: Xw setup can be reused is contradicting other parts of the proposal Intel: currently each AP supports LWIP REL-13, this will not be the case in REL-14 Nokia: but this is affecting measurements only Broadcom: there is no REL-14 LWIP requirements Intel: measurements and flow control of the WID is not affecting APs? Nokia: flow control is terminated somewhere else but not in AP, only measurements are to be looked at

    R3‑162968 Supporting LWIP with XwAP - New Procedure Descriptions Ericsson LM draftCR   Yes
YesIntel: is a tiny portion only, their is practically no solution Nokia: aspects of our R3-162806 can cover missing parts Intel: one pipe only, everything is hidden in this pipe Nokia: single IPsec tunnel contains multiple bearers, separate eRABs would be possible and more future proof Broadcom: traffic differentiation was heavily discussed in SA2 and is not RAN3 focus

YesEricsson: why saying same thing twice in 1 and 6? Intel: clear stage 2 spec needed Broadcom: first 3 points: do we discuss instances of the protocol or the protocol? Intel: IPSec remains IPSec ATT: some APs are under operator control and some not Intel: some cases where control is limited Nokia: point 2: eNB must know all SSIDs Intel: eNB must know this Nokia: so REL-13 does not work? interprets Intel's answers as in REL-13 it does not work and in REL-14 it may work with Intel solution Intel: less OM burden for our solution Broadcom: point 4: quantitative assumption which is not qualified Intel: in REL-13 Broadcome was worried about LWA per bearer flow control is difficult to introduce RAN3 chair: Xw proponents have to update their CRs for next RAN3 meeting and should also have a response to this document

YesCATT: in UE context wording should be changed? to radio link failure indication? Samsung: no, is related to UE context Ericsson: it was unclear last time already what is intended to be achieved with this draft CR; suggests some rewording at least: "whether to trigger HO procedure depends on a number of factors, e.g. ..." RAN3 chair: would the rewording be acceptable for Samsung? Samsung: ok Nokia: should it not be in normative text? Ericsson: no, since we are describing rather an implementation Samsung: previous text is in the same context Ericsson: but the next text was not agreed, so the compromise was a note conclusion: note will be reworded; "When triggering the HO preparation procedure the previously serving eNB may take into account a number of factors, e.g. ..."

YesMCC: LTE_MTCe2_L1-Core was a REL-13 WI; Huawei: all data can be configured via O&M, self-learning can work but we have an O&M solution that works Nokia: there is not one O&M, there are multiple and how to deal with this problem if the O&M situation is not that straight forward? Ericsson: O&M is of course possible, will be difficult to agree on something in the discussion paper but we should definitely not rule out an O&M solution; how often will such an information change? if not less than 12 hours you can probably live with this situation RAN3 chair: so what do we do with the CRs? Nokia: understands O&M may be possible but tedious so can we still have something in addition? AT&T: suggests to have more operator support and come back at the end of the week Ericsson: has nothing against the CR but we need to make sure that this does not rule O&M Huawei: REL needs to be discussed and how do we cover that O&M is possible Ericsson: Protocol IE ID is 180 conclusion: O&M approach is possible, REL-14 is preferred, text in the revised CR can be discussed further offline

    R3‑162837 Resolving ambiguous counting responses Qualcomm Incorporated draftCR Approval Yes
YesMCC: MBMS_LTE_enh-Core was a REL-10 WI; wrong WI code on CR cover; cat.A CR missing; Ericsson: had a hard time to understand this problem; why would I count UEs that are outside of the MBSFN area? Qualcomm: different set of counting areas; UE is listening to a service of a different eNB but UE will still respond to a counting request in the serving cell and this is what we need to solve; Nokia: option 2a: why does it not work? Qualcomm: if more than one counting process is going on and the eNB does not know this Ericsson: thinks we are trying to address a corner case; and we are trying to shift the burden here to the eNB; Qualcomm: does not agree this is a corner case, it is supported by the system and so we need to look at the implications; burden on eNB is not increased much; RAN3 chair: counting is not accurate anyway and we try to improve it here so we have to see the pain vs. gain for this change; RAN3 chair: also REL needs to be discussed (maybe just for REL-14) conclusion: further offline discussion needed to convince other companies, can come back to it

YesNEC: mentioned last time that there can be the case that IMSI is used for paging and restoration needed in core network Nokia: MME will include IMSI without eDRX configuration; NEC: worried that it may exclude other cases RAN3 chair: how do you reach the UE which is in DRX? Ericsson: this was mentioned in the LS, this means UE needs to be active to connect the network; NEC: that may take months Nokia: agrees with Ericsson, this was mentioned in a RAN2 document Ericsson: network vendors/operators know that this is a problem RAN3 chair: a good implementation will backup the MME configuration, particulary for eDRX Nokia: has no problem to send an LS NEC: we can check offline first with CT1/CT4; rewording? conclusion: MME restoration case to be checked with CT (Nokia), only IMSI available?
revised No R3‑163194  
    R3‑163206 Correction of eDRX Information Nokia CR discussion Yes
YesNokia: without the CR this would also not be aligned with CT4 Ericsson: would UE listen to S-TMSI or just to IMSI? Nokia: some implementation may only use IMSI based paging Ericsson: but then it should be possible to include paging identity Ericsson: SA3 may be worried to see so many IMSI in clear text on the air interface NEC: no problem due to MME restoration Ericsson: SA3 may answer that this is an MME optimisation and security is more important Ericsson: can confirm that the CR is technically correct, restoration procedure exists already for a longer time NEC: if REL-13 using UE ID and CR is only for REL-14 and using S-TMSI then we will have a backward compatibility issue; so suggests REL-13 & REL-14 CR Ericsson: suggests to check this until next meeting conclusion: postponed until next RAN3 meeting

ZTE: supports Samsung Ericsson: if everything is unclear for multi-connectivity then we can remove the whole multi-connectivity bullet and leave just the editor's note Nokia: would object to this as multi-connectivity is definitely considered by RAN2 Ericsson: is there a definition of multi-connectivity in the RAN2 TR already? RAN3 chair: it was clarified that dual connectiviy is covered by tight interworking Ericsson: should we capture multi-connectivity as a question in our LSs to RAN2?

    R3‑162973 Scenarios for inter-RAT mobility Ericsson discussion   Yes
Yesmoved from AI 10.2.2 to AI 10.2.1 Proposal1: it is proposed to use the following terminology: Inter RAT handover: handover between LTE and NR with no changes of CN, i.e. intra NGCN Inter System handover: handover with a change of CN, namely between an EPC and a NGCN Proposal 2 Inter system handovers are suboptimal from a latency and complexity point of view and they are very signalling intensive. They imply high impacts on the LTE-EPC and the NGCN-NR systems. If the impacts are considered acceptable, inter system handovers may be supported in the NGCN -> EPC direction. RAN3 chair: what about proposal 1? Samsung: does not like this change, we need to inter RAT with CN change as well Ericsson: we need to clarify the terminology as it is confusing CATT: supports Samsung, inter-RAT handover with and without CN change is clear Qualcomm: supports inter-system handover but does not like the inter-RAT handover definition as it does not cover CN change Qualcomm: so you can have inter-RAT and inter-system?

    R3‑163029 NR inactive state principles - UE ID Qualcomm Incorporated discussion Decision Yes
YesProposal 1: A RAN controlled UE identity is used to identify a given UE in the RAN notification area. Proposal 2: The RAN node anchoring the NG-C/NG-U connection for the UE manages and assigns the UE identity. Proposal 3: RAN based RNTI shall be contained as UE-ID for RAN Notification Message. Proposal 4: The UE ID in context fetch and RRC_INACTIVE to RRC_CONNECTED transition shall be same as the RAN based RNTI in RAN based Notification Message. Proposal 5: Notification occasion (NR equivalent of LTE PO/PF) for RRC_INACTIVE is calculated in the same way as the one for NR RRC_IDLE to provide the same level of performance. Proposal 6: RAN can define RAN based Notification specific DRX cycle value for a RRC_INACTIVE state UE and configure it to UE by dedicated signalling. Proposal 7: gNB includes IMSI mod X and RRC_INACTIVE state DRX parameters in the RAN based notification message in Xn. RAN3 chair: also pending on light connection, inputs from other WGs needed or everything can change again; we have to complete light connection in REL-14 Qualcomm: assumes light connection is for REL-15 RAN3 chair: not at the moment, you are free to bring this up in RAN

Ericsson: there was a Deutsche Telekom at RAN in the past discussing UE connectivity where separate, so it is less that ngNB = gNB +eLTE eNB but that ngNB is supporting both; ID is more stage 3 and can be discussed later; Samsung: you are hiding eNB/gNB from the UE which will not work RAN3 chair: does think that it is hiding, whether we talk about an eNB, a gNB, and eLTE NB is rather a question of supported functions Ericsson: has not yet seen technical arguments against such an architecture conclusion: further offline discussion needed (led by Ericsson), R3-162975 will revised in R3-163110 merging also aspects of R3-162821

Nokia: observation 5: we have one useless limitation in LTE today that we can get rid of Ericsson: breaking 10000 associations? one association per node relation only; this is an implementation issue Nokia: but the standard is limiting this RAN3 chair: SCTP is usually handled at stage 3 phase; we need a list to be addressed later in the WI phase (pooling, ...) without going already into stage 3 NEC: more detailed analysis from Nokia for next meeting would be useful RAN3 chair: is just looking for a list of aspects here

YesNokia: we rejected this proposal already last time, we see not need a problem for a gNB to support 20 connections instead of 10, anm MME supports 1000s of SCTP connections today Ericsson: 32 or 64 SCTP connections were considered in the past Nokia: but Ericsson always doubted the SCTP limitation Samsung: too early to have such a description, also EPC as part of the NG core is not in line with current SA2 assumption; Ericsson: different logical nodes but one interface NTT DOCOMO: we see some value in what Ericsson is saying in terms of testing and support the Ericsson CMCC: why does NG core needs to support S1 functions? Deutsche Telecom: actual pCR does not talk about SCTP, what needs to be changed in the pCR that Nokia would accept it Nokia: many legacy information that would not be used (disclaimers would be needed everywhere), it would also limit the development of new NG functions Ericsson: no constraints on NG development Deutsche Telecom: how to realize the Ericsson proposal? referencing? Ericsson: referencing is one possible approach Ericsson: proposal is also addressing virtualization, an operator would not open 2 data centers Vodafone: but they could run on different virtual machines China Unicom: does not support the Ericsson proposal Nokia: a 5G UE will use one set of procedures and a 4G UE will use a independent set of procedures so there is no need to combine this Samsung: EPC is not considered in SA2 virtualization discussion Deutsche Telekom: maybe we should leave out the virtualization discussion here (as it is not really relevant), is option 3 supported? Ericsson: yes Qualcomm: we have a neutral position so far, will S1 be supported over this interface as well? Ericsson: normal S1 would always be supported Nokia: but this will not work with S1flex Ericsson: only one SCTP association and then different procedures can be used RAN3 chair: we can try to revise the pCR and see on Friday where we are Nokia: 2 companies said maybe and many companies had a concern so wondering why we need to revise the proposal

It seems fronthaul is considered here; Thales: would like that interfaces for 5G can also cope with long latencies that we have; RAN3 chair: user plane, control plane and NAS are considered? Thales: yes; satelliite backhaul but also that 5G protocols could be considered via satellite; Ericsson: transport jitter and transport error rate could be considered; RAN3 chair: text is based on fronthaul but not for NG-U Intel: we can still consider text in the right section, but error rates are already considered Huawei: check whether this is covered in RAN TR? RAN3 chair: only air-ground communication is considered IAESI: CES had an input for 38.913 RAN3 chair: ok, maybe we need to double-check Huawei: satellite communication seems to be in but in the low priority list so not in phase 1 Thales: satellite in backhaul: we would prefer that NG-2, NG-3 over satellite could be supported in phase 1; Huawei: so far not aware of limits to use satellite as backhaul NEC: S1/S2 already on satellite link? RAN3 chair: suggests that pCR can be considered next time (pCR was for backhaul but in fronthaul section and Ericsson commented that it could be for fronthaul) conclusion: RAN3 chair will report to RAN #74 that satellite industry is interested in 5G for satellite (satellite as physical layer for NG (NG-C, NG-U, TNL)) and we can see the discussion there then

YesProposal 1: To confirm the understanding that: - For the DC architecture(s) that connects to NextGen Core (case 1 and 3), the Flow Based QoS framework is applied. - For the DC architecture that connects to EPC (case 2), LTE QoS framework (i.e., bearer based QoS) is applied. Proposal 2: In the DC architecture connecting to EPC, the NR gNB supports the LTE DC functionalities and procedures. Proposal 3: In the DC architecture connecting to EPC, the NR gNB applies LTE QoS framework towards the EPC, LTE eNB and UE: - LTE DC procedures (e.g., SeNB addition, etc.) are applied when adding NR gNB as secondary eNB, in which necessary QoS service (i.e., bearer) are configured. - E-RAB (and concerning S1-U bearer) is established between EPC and NR gNB for SCG split bearer option according to LTE specification - X2-U is established between LTE eNB and NR gNB for split bearer option according to LTE specification - DRB is established between NR gNB and UE according to SCG bearer option or split bearer option as specified LTE

Proposal 2: It is proposed RAN3 to agree remove the new DTX information in the baseline CRs. Ericsson: not so keen to align with RAN2 naming, in RAN3 specs we have dual band and dual cell; maybe we need to align our RAN3 terminology first before we simply align here with RAN2 Huawei: no strong view if we have a better name Ericsson: for all new IEs we can avoid "additional" Ericsson: having as optional IE Nokia: we are fine with both Huawei proposals Ericsson: to proposal 2: 10ms TTI in mixed configuration to be checked Huawei: agrees that there can be some ambiguity when removing new DTX information, e,g, abnormal case to be checked Ericsson: we have a Tdoc to this in R3-162995 vice-chair: let's see R3-162995 Ericsson: dual cell means same band in RAN3 (RAN3 is having also dual band to indicate different frequencies) Huawei: is this defined anywhere?

YesProposal 1: It is proposed that RAN3 to discuss and agree on using the legacy UPH Filtering reporting to support the fast TTI switching in Multi-carrier enhancements feature. Only semantic modification is needed. Huawei: new IE (R3-162913) or reintegrating existing IE (R3-162998) is the question, still some concern whether reintegration is possible Ericsson: does not think that the reintegration is problematic vice-chair: heard from offline discussion that Nokia supports R3-162998, as the target is to complete the WI by end of this year, is there a way forward? Nokia: Ericsson solution is simpler but may have one problem (2 UL messages to inform RNC ... ping-pong case) Ericsson: in both we have one filtering report in one message so it applies to both proposals Nokia: then we will need a third solution Ericsson: but this would mean 2 filtering reports in 1 message but 90% of the time UE would send just 1 report; RAN1 has not clarified how many reports, we would prefer 1 report per message only Nokia: 2 reports will avoid ping-pong case (for 10+10, 10+2, 2+10) vice-chair: we could go with 1 report so far and if there is a problem we can still correct this (ASN.1 freeze is in March17) otherwise we may have problems to agree the CRs this week Huawei: requests some more offline discussion Ericsson: RAN1 and RAN2 have already finished so we should be able to find a compromise vice-chair: do we know at least whether we start the discussion from Huawei or Ericsson CR? Nokia: Huawei and Ericsson proposals are still on option 1, we would still discuss option 2 in the offline discussion Huawei: option 2 is not necessary conclusion: offline discussion to decide with approach will be taken, result will be covered in baseline CRs

Samsung: would prefer to wait with this decision, failure case always happens, confirmation from other groups missing (CT1/SA2) Ericsson: unclear where the SA2 impact is?

Ericsson: does it not contradict the concept of mobility set? Broadcom: UE is sending via WLAN AP to WT and is sending multiple addresses Telecom Malaysia: up to 6 MAC addresses taken into account?

No
withdrawn Yes    
    R3‑162856 Support of SC-PTM for eMTC CATT discussion Decision Yes
YesProposal 1: To support MCE to select SC-PTM for eMTC, MCE need to know eMTC activation status for each cell in the MBMS Cell List provided by MME, this could be done via OAM configuration. Nokia: How does MC know this is related to MTC? Ericsson: assumes from the WID that the services are preconfigured RAN3 chair: you broadcast something that cannot be used so waste of resources but not more harm; Nokia: configuration is in the core network so the situation is a bit different than the case we discussed Ericsson: you would have a magic TMGI (for eMTC) RAN3 chair: we are not debugging the core network Ericsson: agrees with RAN3 chair that there is no impact on core network RAN3: we rely on O&M that it tells the core network the right cells conclusion: proposal was not agreed

    R3‑162889 Paging reception in eDRX not allowed NEC CR Agreement Yes
YesMCC: LTE_extDRX-Core was a REL-13 WI; wrong WI code on CR cover; wrong CR cat. or where is the REL-13 CR? Mediatek: MME would send this page too far ahead in time? or what is the problem? NEC: problem is that MME does not know that eNB does not allow eDRX Qualcomm: when we designed the feature the assumption was that support for eDRX would be rather homogeneous among tracking areas, if this is not the case then we need to maybe redesign the feature Ericsson: agrees with Qualcomm conclusion: offline to check whether clarification is needed at stage 2 Ericsson: 23.682 is the spec where it is already clarified

Ericsson: for all cases where CP can be used for data CATT: problem is maybe be bigger for MME than for eNB Ericsson: smart phones may misuse CP resources and then eNB should have a means to inform MME of this problem RAN3 chair: Huawei seems not be in favour of it and Samsung, Nokia, CATT require further discussion conclusion: further offline discussion on scenario and also alternatives, will come back on Friday
