8.3 | Progress on Security for LWIP | R3‑162805 | Changes needed to enable LWIP over Xw | Nokia, Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell | discussion | Yes |
Yesproposed to agree that the Xw shall provide support for LWIP, too
Intel: we have different views on this, have an own Tdoc in R3-162783
| 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

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

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. ..."

R3‑162776 | Target cell selection for low complexity UEs and UEs in enhanced coverage | Nokia, Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell, AT&T, Samsung, LG Electronics Inc., Qualcomm Incorporated | CR | Agreement | Yes |
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

| noted | No | ||||
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

R3‑162934 | Correction of eDRX Information | Nokia, Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell, Qualcomm, Huawei, NTT Docomo Inc | draftCR | Approval | Yes |
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

YesProposal 1: In case MME initiates the paging procedure with eDRX configuration it shall include the S-TMSI in the PAGING message
Proposal 2: RAN2 recent eDRX CR makes RAN3 specifications not compliant with CT4 specifications and requirements if RAN3 does not add the S-TMSI in an IMSI-bsed PAGING message.
Proposal 3: RAN3 to select one of the two options above and agree the corresponding CRs.
Ericsson: had not time to look at this last minute way forward
Nokia: we discussed it by email
RAN3 chair: is there an urgency for this feature?
conclusion: proposal 1 is agreed and reflected in stage 2 CRs R3-163194 and R3-163195

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

after offline discussion in Tue morning coffee break:
Nokia: we could agree the Nokia pCR and have further discussion about Ericsson pCR

Ericsson: is a possible node, we should not restrict to have such a node, does not agree that this is an optimisation
RAN3 chair: we use "eLTE/gNB" is several places and ngNB seems to take up this aspect
IAESI: thinks the proposal is good as it simplifies the architecture but we still need to consider centralized and distributed unit
Ericsson: does not see that this node is contradicting or in conflict with CU/DU discussion
RAN3 chair: CU/DU discussion will come on Wed under another agenda item
NEC: logical nodes have an ID, is a single ID planned?
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

Proposal 2: We propose to either conclude that multiple SCTP associations per NG-C interface instance are not necessary or
to further analyse requirements and look into more details for the proposed scheme.
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

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

Nokia: RAN3 has agreed to specify no transport networks
RAN3 chair: satellite telecommunication industry is interested to reuse 3GPP specs, suggests that we check with RAN and RAN1 chair whether this is possible; currently there are no requirements for this in the RAN TR; RAN3 chair will report this situation to RAN #74
NEC: satellite for fronthaul or backhaul? 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

Huawei: should we not wait for RAN2 for this (depending on inactive mode and mobility)?
Ericsson: many ffs for inactive but it is quite clear that we will need UE context retrieval so fine to add it
Qualcomm: has an input on interference coordination using RRM coordination as measurement request need to be included as well
IAESI: supports Nokia's text proposal
ZTE: if we add UE context retrieval then we should add ffs; interference coordination depends on progress in RAN1, SON functionality is not yet clear
LG: interference coordination: load management should be added, SON is a common feature
RAN3 chair: any doubt that we will have UE context retrieval, interference coordination, SON? details can of course be fixed later; load balancing and RRM may be more tricky as we have no load and QoS definition so far;

- 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

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

RAN3 chair: can we rephrase the text in a positive way as we usually do not specify what we do not do;
Ericsson: it seems there is consensus that there is no need to check and we can discuss the wording

Nokia: eNB ID is received from the UE in an ambiguous way so it makes sense to have this note; in other places it is not by configuration, it is explicitly mentioned

YesNokia: agrees that open isssues 7 and 9 do not contradict each other
RAN3 chair: we have 2 sets of CRs and we should have a look at them quickly before we handle the proposals of R3-162756 one by one
Intel: on X2 most of both CR sets are aligned, on stage 2 there are 2 aspects which are not aligned
Open Issue 1: Paging Area of the UE in light connection
RAN3 chair: list of cells, list of TAs
Nokia: also list of paging areas, instead of N cells you define a paging areas (cell broadcast the paging area)
Ericsson: RAN2 has not taken into account the paging optimisation in last REL
conclusion: open issue 1 to be decided by RAN2
Open Issue 2: X2 context fetch supporting
CATT: indicator is not necessary
conclusion:
- add Data forwarding indication in RETRIEVE UE CONTEXT RESPONSE message: is ffs
- introduce a new class2 message to carry forwarding GTP Tunnel info from the new eNB to the old eNB: iis agreed
Open Issue 3: Content of X2 PAGING message
conclusion: align IE in both inputs
Open Issue 4: UE connects and no X2 available
Samsung: has a Tdoc related to this in R3-162754, has preference for option 3 (legacy recovery case)
RAN3 chair: so 2 choices: release or S1 fetch
Ericsson: with release we would not optimize
RAN3 chair: Nokia/Huawei: S1 context fetch but different approach than Ericsson
Ericsson: if we do not progress on this one, then we do not need light connection
China Unicom, Qualcomm: support to have S1 context fetch
RAN3 chair: can we have a working assumption on S1 context fetch?
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?
RAN3 chair: R3-162760 is the Huawei approach for S1 context fetch
conclusion: further offline discussion (Huawei) whether we can have a working assumption on S1 context fetch (X2 not available)
Open Issue 5: eNB handling of unreachable UE in case of RAN paging failure
conclusion: offline discussion (Intel)
Open Issue 6: Which node to decide the suspension
Nokia: we can open our R3-162938 or wait for RAN2/SA2 feedback
conclusion: offline discussion (Qualcomm)
Open Issue 7: How to support CP signalling in Light connection
conclusion: Ericsson will provide a way forward in R3-163134
Open Issue 8: Possible Legacy functionality impact needs to be discussed if confirmed

YesProposal 1: RAN3 formally agree and recommend a way forward for Bluetooth and UMTS objectives and impacted specifications as currently outlined in the approved WI for Further Indoor Positioning enhancements for UTRA and LTE. One of the following options should be recommended for incomplete aspects of the WI:
1. Extend the WI to seek additional Time Units allocated for upcoming RAN WG meetings to address the Bluetooth and UMTS objectives.
2. Remove the UMTS and Bluetooth objectives from the WI that have not been completed and postpone those objectives indefinitely.
3. Move the Bluetooth and UMTS aspects from the existing WI that have not been completed to a new work item.
a. Release 14 WI
b. Release 15 WI
vice-chair: since there hasn't been any input, companies are not interested in these aspects, and since we plan to send CRs to RAN for approval, it would be rather option 2
conclusion: no concerns were raised in RAN3 to revise the WID and to remove Bluetooth and UMTS objectives (proposal 2); status report to RAN will clarify this and also RAN3 chair will include this in his report

Nokia: there seems to be a slight preference for dynamic; Intel indicates that transparent container has no advantage
RAN3 chair: if there is no change of the information, then we send it in a transparent container;
Nokia: but as this is very little information we do not need a big container for it
Ericsson: if it is not a transparent container then we need to have a description what to do with the data in the eNB;

RAN3 chair: objection to have a new procedure?
Nokia: if we support this optimisation then we should minimize spec impact
Ericsson: limiting spec impact is one thing but we should also look at implementation impacts
RAN3 chair: so it seems we are between solution 1 and solution 5 but we anyway depend on what SA3 will decide

Proposal 3: Select Option1 to solve issue on handling mandatory IEs on UE context fetch from old eNB.
Proposal 4: Select Option1 or Option2 solution to resume the UE context in the EPC and update the UE-associated logical S1-connection.
CATT: proposal 2 is an enhancement?
ZTE: yes, is an optimisation enhancement
agreements of AI 26.1:
for UP: use RLF indication + HO to support data forwarding for UP solution i.e. implementation solution
for CP: no decision so far but 2 solutions:
RLF indication + HO +S1 NAS recovery (NAS Non Delivery) indication from old eNB + DL NAS Transport to new eNB (CP-1)
or
X2 RLF indication + X2AP new message(s) (CP-2 new?)

R3‑163067 | Feasibility of lossless mobility for the CP solution | MediaTek Inc. | discussion | Yes |
Yeslate input;
Proposal: Send a Reply LS to RAN2 and confirm that the lossless mobility solution by (re)transmissions in NAS, triggered by AS (as proposed by RAN2) is a feasible solution from eNB point of view.
Nokia: was already discussed under the CP solutions
Ericsson: lossless can be confirmed
Qualcomm: we were more discussing DL here in RAN3 but Mediatek has a wider scope
RAN3 chair: since we are depending on SA3 decisions (e.g. authentication of the UE) we will not send an LS from this meeting; there is still a need to clarify the 2 CP solutions
Ericsson: if Mediatek needs a general comment on feasibility we could do this but we cannot reply on the actual solution
Mediatek: would like to minute that from RAN3 point of view lossless mobility solution seems feasible for CP
conclusion: from RAN3 point of view lossless mobility solution seems feasible for CP but solution itself needs to be decided (CP-1 or new procedure, both depend on SA3 decisions)

31.2 | LTE. | R3‑162888 | Paging reception in eDRX not allowed | NEC | discussion | Decision | Yes |
YesMCC: LTE_extDRX-Core was a REL-13 WI
| noted | No | ||
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

R3‑162879 | Enhancement for MME Overload Control | Huawei, U.S. Cellular | CR | Agreement | Yes |
YesNEC: why 22048? is an unscalable solution
Intel: we can monitor UE moves from idle to connected
RAN3 chair: some type of UEs can be rejected based on some criteria with this
Nokia: MME is not part of the UP so how can MME decide this (if never sent any data)
Huawei: we took TCP as an example; we talk about overload on MME side
Nokia: check with SA2; NAS timer solution was more sufficient
conclusion: check use case (with US Cellular)

R3‑162966 | Introduction of an E-UTRAN triggered S1 Overload procedure | Ericsson | CR | Agreement | Yes |
NoMCC: NB_IOT-Core was a REL-13 WI
Huawei: there is no NAS and NAS+data
Ericsson: we need a solution if control plane is abused for data transmission;
Huawei: MME is in a better position to decide this
Ericsson: but eNB is in a better position to evaluate this
Nokia: is this a problem for NB-IOT or others?
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

YesMCC: eDecor is an SA2 REL-14 WI without corresponding RAN WI;
Nokia: TCN-ID is controversial in SA2, so too early to decide here
NEC: Ericsson CRs not related to load balancing
RAN3 chair: check with co-located WGs (SA2, CT), we will revise the Ericsson CRs and we may send CRs to RAN #74, if SA2 can not decide then this is a different issue but try to progress on this this week
NEC: our CR is in line with SA2 so no further agreements needed
