TD SP-200637 (LS IN) LS from ETSI ISG E4P: Request for information exchange. (Source:ETSI ISG E4P (E4P(20)000_022)).
Document for: Information.
Abstract: 1. Introduction to ETSI ISG E4P: In the context of a pandemic with a transmittable virus such as SARS-CoV-2, digital contact tracing systems can be used to alert people of a potential risk of infection due to having been in close contact with an infected person. The ETSI ISG E4P (Europe for Privacy-Preserving Pandemic Protection) has been created to develop a framework and consistent set of specifications for contact tracing systems using proximity detection methods. Membership (see link) has grown to about 40 organizations since the ISG launched on 26th May 2020. The framework and specifications will be designed to ensure data privacy and to facilitate the development of interoperable applications and platforms. The working plan of E4P is to produce a comparison between existing systems and four related specifications in a short timeframe. The four specifications will describe the requirements for contact tracing systems (especially privacy preservation), the device-based proximity detection mechanisms, the back-end notification mechanisms and an interoperability framework across multiple systems. The first specifications will be available soon, before end of 2020, so as to be applicable to the existing needs. 2. Exchanging information: With this liaison letter, ETSI ISG E4P would like to inform your members about our work plan, which is visible here: https:⁄⁄portal.etsi.org⁄⁄tb.aspx?tbid=890&SubTB=890#⁄ ETSI ISG E4P would like to kindly invite your organization to share any information that could support the development of the E4P work. In case your organization would like to discuss collaborations, or to highlight work in your group, please contact the Chairman of ETSI ISG E4P.

TD SP-200639 (LS IN) LS from TM Forum Autonomous Networks: Introduction of TM Forum Autonomous Network project and Coordination Proposal. (Source:TM Forum Autonomous Networks (Liaison AN results ETSI GSMA 3GPPv2)).
Document for: Information.
Abstract: General: There is a growing interest across many Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and their suppliers into the opportunities presented by Autonomous Networks (AN) and Services to substantially improve operational efficiency and enable service innovations through intelligence-driven self-operating of networks and services. TM FORUM started an official project on Autonomous Networks Project (ANP) since July 2019. The scope of the project consists of: - User stories⁄use cases - Vision & roadmap - Business requirements and architecture - Technical architecture The vision of Autonomous Networks in TM FORUM: - The long term vision is to provide innovative ICT infrastructure, capabilities and services with 'Zero X' (zero wait, zero touch, zero trouble, zero friction) experience for the users of vertical industries and consumers through Self-X capabilities (self-serving, self-fulfilling, self-assuring), which makes them simpler to consume by the users, and leaves the implementation complexity with the providers. - Autonomous Networks are likely to evolve step by step according to different autonomous levels, with corresponding services and capabilities. The framework of Autonomous Networks consists of '3-layer, 4-closed-loop' which cover from business operation layer to the network layer, i.e. - 3-layers: business operations layer, service operations layer and resource operations layers, and - 4-closed loops: resource closed loop, service closed loop, business closed loop and more importantly user closed loop from an E2E user perspective. TM FORUM Autonomous network project had published the following documents: 1. Whitepaper: 'Autonomous Networks: Empowering Digital Transformation For Telecoms Industry', May 2019 2. IG1193 'Cross-Industry Autonomous Networks - Vision and Roadmap v1.0', October 2019 3. IG1218 'Autonomous Networks Business Requirements & Architecture v1.0', July 2020, which defined basic concept, vision, framework, autonomous network levels, user stories category, business requirements, architecture and capabilities, as well as example use cases for Autonomous Networks. Further detailed information can be found in attached publications. TM FORUM Next steps: - TM FORUM is now working on the enhanced version of Autonomous Networks Business Requirements & Architecture 1.1 and Autonomous Networks Technical Requirements & Architecture 1.0, and Whitepaper R2.0. All of them are targeted to be published in Oct 2020. - -TM FORUM is seeking the Cross SDO collaboration, starting from this information sharing Liaison and planning a Multi-SDO collaboration workshop in Oct 2020. Cross-SDO collaboration proposal: We noticed that recently Autonomous Network initiatives are being progressed in multiple SDOs. We believe that alignment on Autonomous Network concept, vision, framework and key topics, and discussion on the responsibility and collaboration for the future works would best guide the industry to progress in a coordinated way on this topic. Given that AN initiatives are being progressed in multiple SDO, it would be beneficial for the industry to hold a Cross SDO workshop to review activities, identify key topics and gaps across multiple SDOs towards an industry collaboration ecosystem on Autonomous Networks. Invitation to Cross-SDO Collaboration Workshop on Autonomous Networks: TM Forum is willing to organize a virtual workshop in the last week of September (29th or 30th) to kick off the collaboration discussion on the Autonomous Network. We invite representatives from your organization to the virtual workshop, share information on autonomous network related work in your organization, and also your suggestions on future collaborations. The suggested virtual workshop objectives are: 1. Share information and ideas on the vision, key points and activities of each organizations developing AN solutions using their unique domain skills. 2. Discuss the gaps and key topics in industry activities for reaching industry consensus and building the collaboration ecosystem for E2E AN blueprint. 3. Establish the collaboration proposal and technical topics of common interest as the basis for subsequent multi-SDO discussions for Autonomous Networks. At this stage, we would like to: - Solicit feedback on key topics that you believe would benefit from a discussion at this virtual workshop. - Secure your organizations' interest and commitment in principle to participate in this virtual workshop. Please advise if you can support this proposal by sending one or more representatives and indicating available date for the virtual workshop. Your early reply would be very much appreciated, to help us finalize the virtual workshop agenda. We look forward to your feedback and the opportunity for collaboration. Concluding Remarks: We look forward to your feedback on the enclosed documents on the virtual workshop ⁄ collaboration proposal.

TD SP-200640 (LS IN) LS from IETF: Re: LS on need for Multi-Path QUIC for ATSSS. (Source:IETF (LS_from_IETF)).
Document for: Information.
Abstract: Thank you for your input to our specifications. Multipath capabilities for QUIC are currently under active discussion in the IETF's QUIC WG. Several individual proposals have been made, but the group is also considering whether the already-specified connection migration capabilities are sufficient to cover the majority of use cases. We encourage 3GPP to contribute their requirements for QUIC multipath capabilities in an Internet-Draft, especially if the already-specified connection migration capabilities are deemed insufficient. 3GPP's active involvement in any multipath QUIC standardization would be the best way to remain informed of the progress of any such work in the IETF. Kind regards, Mark Nottingham, Lucas Pardue and Lars Eggert, QUIC Working Group chairs.

TD SP-200641 (LS IN) LS from IETF DRIP: Drone Remote ID Protocol Working Group (DRIP). (Source:IETF DRIP (LSs_from_IETF_9June2020)).
Document for: Information.
Abstract: Information of the DRIP working group can be found on the following web page: https:⁄⁄datatracker.ietf.org⁄wg⁄drip⁄about⁄ This is where the latest version of the charter can be found - reminded in the following section as well as the status an progress of the WG documents we detail in the following section. Charter for Working Group Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs) worldwide have initiated rule making for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Remote Identification (RID). CAAs currently promulgate performance-based regulations that do not mandate specific techniques, but rather cite industry-consensus technical standards as acceptable means of compliance. One key standard is ASTM International (formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials) WK65041 [1]. This technical specification defines UAS RID message formats, and transmission methods. Network RID defines a set of information for UAS to be made available globally via the Internet. Broadcast RID defines a set of messages for UAS to send locally one-way over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. WK65041 does not address how to populate⁄query registries, how to ensure trustworthiness of information, nor how to make the information useful. DRIP's goal is to specify how RID can be made trustworthy and available in both Internet and local-only connected scenarios, especially in emergency situations. Some UAS operate in environments where the network or the devices or both are severely constrained [2] in terms of processing, bandwidth (e.g., Bluetooth 4 beacon payload is 25 bytes long), or battery life, and DRIP aims to function in these environments. The specifications produced by the WG will need to balance public safety authorities' need to know trustworthy information with UAS operators' and other involved parties' privacy. The working group will primarily leverage Internet standards (including HIP, EPP, RDAP, and DNS) and infrastructure as well as domain name registration business models. The WG will track and align with the requirements being developed by regulatory authorities, e.g., the International Civil Aviation Organization the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) delegated [3] and implementing [4] regulations, and the US Federal Aviation Administration (US FAA) [5]. The working group will work on the following items: - Requirements: the WG is expected to provide an informational document that lists the technical requirements for applying IETF protocols to the UAS Remote Identification (UAS RID) - that is the system for identifying Unmanned Aircraft (UA) during flight by other parties. These requirements also include showing that new or adapted identifiers from existing protocols conform and meet the specifications to be certified as a UAS RID. - Architecture: the WG will propose a standard document that describes the architecture that address the technical requirements and that will attempt to re-use protocols or architectures already standardized at the IETF. - Protocol design: while the primary purpose of DRIP WG is to leverage existing protocols, the specificities of the UAS environment are likely to require existing protocols to be extended or new protocols to be designed. The WG will focus on getting these protocols or extensions standardized, coordinating with other WGs relevant for the protocol(s) in question on the most appropriate home for any given piece of work.

TD SP-200644 (LS IN) LS from TSG RAN: Reply LS to GSMA_5GSI_28_Doc003 = RP-193053 on 5G indicator enhancement. (Source:TSG RAN (RP-201358)).
Document for: Information.
Abstract: TSG RAN would like to make the GSMA Network Group (NG) aware of the completion of the activities as requested by the GSMA 5GSI in their LS Reply in RP-193053 sent to RAN#86 in December 2019 (5GSI#28 Doc 003). Within the Ls Reply there was a request for 3GPP to take into consideration the new requirements when defining specifications that impact the display of the 5G status indicator. In order to implement these requirements from GSMA, TSG RAN agreed on introducing enhancements to the existing 5G indicator handling based on the upperLayerIndication bit in the E-UTRA SIB2 and tasked RAN WG2 to introduce further changes to the E-UTRA RRC specification (TS 36.331), please refer to 'LS on 5G Indicator' from RAN to RAN WG2 in RP-193265. During the RAN WG2#110-e meeting the Rel-16 CR to TS 36.331 in R2-2006081 (attached) was agreed and provided to RAN#88e within the RP-201166 CR pack, where the changes suggested in RP-193265 are specified from Rel-16 onwards. It is worth to note that the implementation of this CR from Rel-15 will not cause interoperability issues.

TD SP-200649 (LS IN) LS from CT WG4: LS on AUSF⁄UDM discovery based on SUCI information. (Source:CT WG4 (C4-204337)).
Document for: Information.
Abstract: CT WG4 has analyzed the issue of insufficient length of Routing Indicator within SUCI, see attached discussion paper in C4-204078 for details. The current 4 digits of the Routing Indicator enables only 10 K ranges of subscriptions, which may not provide enough granularity and flexibility for moving subscriptions across UDRs not controlled by the same AUSF⁄UDM, for operators with a large number of subscriptions (e.g. 100 K users per range for a PLMN with 1 billion subscriptions). CT WG4 agreed that the above limitation should be addressed. CT WG4 has also discussed the solution proposed in C4-204339 (attached) for solving this problem, enabling to use the Home Public Key ID as an additional parameter (that allows to encode e.g. a 5th digit, in addition to the key ID on 4 bits) for the discovery of the AUSF⁄UDM. CT WG4 would be fine in principle to specify this solution in Rel-17, provided corresponding stage-2 requirements are agreed first.

TD SP-200653 (LS IN) LS from SA WG5: LS reply to LS on M.resm-AI “Requirements for energy saving management of 5G RAN system with AI”. (Source:SA WG5 (S5-204516)).
Document for: Information.
Abstract: SA WG5 (Telecom Management), thanks ITU-T Q5⁄2 for your LS on M.resm-AI 'Requirements for energy saving management of 5G RAN system with AI'. In its Release 16, SA WG5 has worked on use cases and requirements for a) the collection of measurements in the NG-RAN so as to be able to calculate the NG-RAN EE KPI and b) the optimization of this EE KPI by saving the energy of the NG-RAN. The resulting specification is TS 28.310 (Energy efficiency of 5G) (https:⁄⁄portal.3gpp.org⁄desktopmodules⁄Specifications⁄SpecificationDetails.aspx?specificationId=3550) In its Release 17, SA WG5 has started: - a (non-normative) study item on new aspects of EE for 5G networks, aiming to study the definition of new Energy Efficiency (EE) KPIs, and means to measure them, from various aspects including in case of multi-RAT sites, of 5G RAN sharing, of 5G Core Network, of standardized network slice types (eMBB, URLLC, mIoT, V2X), of Virtualized Network Functions, etc. The draft TR 28.813 can be found at: https:⁄⁄portal.3gpp.org⁄desktopmodules⁄Specifications⁄SpecificationDetails.aspx?specificationId=3743; - a (normative) work item on enhancements of EE for 5G networks, to enhance ⁄ complement existing 3GPP Technical Specifications, based on outcomes from the aforementioned study item. Besides, SA WG5 has an ongoing Rel-17 study on enhancement of Management Data Analytics Service (MDAS), whose outcomes are captured in TR 28.809 (https:⁄⁄portal.3gpp.org⁄desktopmodules⁄Specifications⁄SpecificationDetails.aspx?specificationId=3694), where a use case, potential requirements and potential MDAS-based solutions for energy saving in 5G networks are described. Management Data Analytics, in conjunction with AI and ML techniques, brings intelligence and automation to the network service management & orchestration. Finally, SA WG5 would like to highlight that the 3GPP management of 5G networks is specified in terms of Management Services (MnS) such as e.g. Provisioning MnS, Fault Supervision MnS, Performance Assurance MnS, etc. MnS producers expose APIs; authorized consumers may consume MnSs. The Service-based Management Architecture (SBMA) replaces the traditional NMS-EMS-NE architecture (cf. TS 28.533 'Management and orchestration; Architecture framework' - https:⁄⁄portal.3gpp.org⁄desktopmodules⁄Specifications⁄SpecificationDetails.aspx?specificationId=3416). SA WG5 kindly requests ITU-T Q5⁄2 to take the above information into account and provide any feedback if needed. SA WG5 also kindly requests ITU-T Q5⁄2 to keep us informed of the progress of your work on M.resm-AI 'Requirements for energy saving management of 5G RAN system with AI'.

TD SP-200652 (LS IN) LS from SA WG2: LS on RAN impact of FS_5MBS Study. (Source:SA WG2 (S2-2006044)).
Document for: Action.
Abstract: SA WG2 has been discussing on Rel-17 FS_5MBS solutions since SA WG2 #135 meeting in TR 23.757, and captured several proposed solutions. SA WG2 would like to kindly inform RAN WG2 and RAN WG3 the following interim agreements in SA WG2: - SA WG2 will develop means to provide QoS requirements for an MBS Session to RAN nodes. - SA WG2 agrees that for N3 transport of the shared delivery method of MBS data, GTP-U tunnelling using a transport layer IP multicast method and shared N3 (GTP-U) Point-to-Point tunnel shall be supported from MB-UPF to NG-RAN nodes. This tunnel can use either IP multicast transport (NG-RAN sends IGMP⁄MLD Join⁄Leave to a multicast router) or point-to-point unidirectional N3 tunnels from MB-UPF to NG-RAN nodes. For unicast transport there shall be 1-1 mapping between MBS Session and GTP-U tunnel towards a RAN node, and for multicast transport there shall be 1-1 mapping between MBS Session and the GTP-U tunnel. - SA WG2 agreed that the UE shall be able to receive on-going data of a multicast MBS session while in CM-CONNECTED state. - Based on SA plenary decisions, Key Issue #5 ('Support of Broadcast TV Video and Radio communication services') is out of scope of Rel-17. {. . .}.

Abstract: Regarding the following question, that SA WG2 asked RAN to feedback on: SA WG2 is debating whether broadcast (i.e. without the network's awareness about UEs receiving broadcast contents and for other use cases than the ones excluded already for Rel-17) should be further down-scoped in Rel-17 for remaining broadcast requirement in the SID. Some companies have provided solutions on broadcast (which are documented in the TR). SA WG2 would like to ask SA, RAN, RAN WG2 and RAN WG3 for feedback on broadcast support in Rel-17. RAN would like to clarify that NR-based broadcast is within the scope of RAN WI for NR MBS in Rel-17, as per the WID approved in RP-201038. According to the discussion at RAN#89e, it is concluded that the scope of RAN WI for NR MBS in Rel-17 is kept as was. RAN would like to ask TSG SA and SA WG2 to take the above answer into account.

TD SP-200634 (LS IN) LS from IALA: Liaison Note to TSG SA - Request for information. (Source:IALA (C71-11.5.1)).
Document for: Action.
Abstract: Introduction: The International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) focuses on the maritime domain, particularly Aids to Navigation (AtoN), including Vessel Traffic Services (VTS), and their associated communication systems. 3GPP is becoming an important element in digital communications, including the exchange of digital data. IALA would like to thank TSG SA for their appointment of a liaison between IALA and 3GPP currently fulfilled by Ms Hyounhee Koo (koo@synctechno.com). IALA would like to invite Ms. Koo to participate at the ENAV26 meeting scheduled from 28 September to 2 October at the IALA HQ to provide an update on 3GPP developments and assist in the drafting of relevant IALA documentation related to 3GPP. It is noted by IALA that 3GPP has a work item focusing maritime communication services over 3GPP Systems in Release 16 called 'MARCOM'. IALA 3GPP interest: At the fifteenth meeting of the Joint IMO⁄ITU Experts Group on Maritime radiocommunication matters (8 to 12 July 2019, IMO Headquarters, London) IALA was requested to report to IMO in respect of 3GPP developments. The report of the meeting (IMO document NCSR7⁄12) records this decision in paragraph 8.9: 8.9 During the ensuing discussion, the delegations that took the floor recognized that these were relevant developments and that IMO should be more proactive and get involved in the work of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). Noting that IALA had been approached already by 3GPP, the Group invited IALA to keep IMO informed of future developments. In response to this, IALA provided an information paper to IMO (NCSR7 INF.6). This document was developed from the IALA perspective on the operational aspects of the developments in 3GPP that may be of interest to the members of NCSR7. In document SP-191366, 3GPP provided a liaison to IALA noting proposed amendments to the NCSR document. The paper was not addressed at NCSR7 plenary, according to the standard procedures of IMO. IALA will prepare an updated input for NCSR8 and would welcome input from 3GPP in the preparation of that document. Given this request, and IALA's own role in the development of AtoN and VTS technology, IALA closely following the development of maritime services within 3GPP. IALA would therefore like to register an interest in the work of 3GPP, particularly the maritime vertical domain. Action requested: The TSG SA is requested to: 1. Inform IALA which 5G enabling technologies that are specified in the 3GPP Release 16 technical specification which could be applicable in the maritime domain. 2. Inform IALA of ongoing 5G standardization works in 3GPP Release 17 which could be applicable in the maritime domain. 3. Advise IALA regarding appropriate inputs [to support] development of 3GPP Release 17 for use within the maritime domain. 4. Advise IALA on the schedule for future meetings and other opportunities for input relevant to the maritime domain (such as MARCOM) allowing adequate time to prepare inputs.

Document for: Action.
Abstract: CT WG1 has discussed a WID proposal for CT aspects of Minimization of Service Interruption (MINT-CT) in the CT WG August meetings, in order to support the service requirements specified for Rel-17. The WID on MINT-CT includes a study phase on both stage-2 and stage-3 aspects. CT WG1 is also planning to define end-to-end call flow regarding registration after selection of a disaster roaming PLMN in the stage-2 specification owned by CT WG1. CT WG1 would like to ask TSG SA if there is any concern on this approach. CT WG1 expects any feedback on this way forward until the next WG meeting so that both study phase and normative phase can progress within Rel-17 timeframe. Action: CT WG1 kindly asks TSG SA to take the information above into account and to provide feedback.

Response to SP-200654. CC#1: A revision will be provided based on the comments received. SP 200775_rev3 was approved. (This will be cleaned up and revised into a new TD number by MCC). Revised to SP-200880.
Discussion and conclusion:
CC#1: LG Electronics introduced this proposed response LS which indicates that there is no concern on the approach suggested by CT WG1. MediaTek raised some concerns on how the UE will be informed about the use of disaster recovery networks. Vodafone commented that also cases of network overload needs to be taken into consideration to prevent one failing network overloading it's neighbouring network, causing it's failure, and so on. AT&T suggested that in order to be able to manage prioritisation correctly, if there is work needed in other groups, such as SA WG1 or SA WG2, that this is determined before leaving everything to CT WG1. MediaTek commented that the information to the UE is necessary and whether there are existing solutions for this or not, SA WG2 will need to be involved in this. Vivo commented that CT WG1 could indicate that provision of such a list is TBD, so that SA WG2 could handle this later. Huawei agreed with Vivo that this is network selection related and should be lead by CT WG1 and LSs used to get information needed from other WGs. The LS should be updated to take these concerns into account. LG Electronics stressed that this is a needed feature for South Korean operators. LG Uplus supported the way forward and would like to see work started as soon as possible. This should be discussed over e-mail and a revision proposed.
CC#3: SP 200775_rev2 was provided. There was some discussion and a further revision was proposed by Vodafone in _rev3. SP 200775_rev3 was approved. (This will be cleaned up and revised into a new TD number by MCC).
e-mail discussion:
Chia-Lin (MediaTek) still think SA2 should be involved from the study phase Hyunsook (LGE) initiates discussion for the revision of SP-200775, and provides rev1. Guillaume (MediaTek) can agree moving forward as proposed Hyunsook (LGE) provides comments. Chris (Vodafone) believes that it will be OK for CT (1) to open a SID on this topic provided that the study includes the topics of protecting non-failed PLMNs and recovering PLMNs from signalling overload. Once the STUDY is completed, 3GPP should then decide on how to proceed with any normative work. Hyunsook (LGE) think Chris's suggestion is same to CT1 approach. CT1 LS already describes a study phase, and as usual CT1 business, CT1 will have normative work based on study results. Chris (Vodafone): it is OK for CT(1) to commence a SID but NOT to include a normative work in it. The SID needs to include at least: a) How one PLMN failure does not lead to signalling overload in other PLMNs; and b) how to avoid 'returning UEs' overloading the PLMN that had earlier failed. Chris (Vodafone): it is OK for CT(1) to commence a SID but NOT to include a normative work in it. The SID needs to include at least: a) How one PLMN failure does not lead to signalling overload in other PLMNs; and b) how to avoid 'returning UEs' overloading the PLMN that had earlier failed.

TD SP-200814 (DISCUSSION) The Importance of Maintaining Broadcast Services in Rel-17 NR MBS. (Source:CBN, ABS, ABP, China Telecom, China Unicom, IRT, Reliance Jio).
Document for: Decision.
Abstract: Broadcast is essential to NR MBS - SA WG2 is debating whether broadcast (for other use cases than the ones excluded already for Rel-17) should be further down-scoped in Rel-17 for remaining broadcast requirement in the SID. Some companies have provided solutions on broadcast (which are documented in the TR). SA WG2 sent an LS to SA asking the above question. - NR MBS with only multicast is just a feature improving network efficiency. With Broadcast, NR MBS creates new business models serving more scenarios, as well as enabling the 5G refarming of the broadcast-dedicated spectrum in many countries. - Down-scoping broadcast will cause NR MBS incapable to deal with emerging demand in many new businesses for 5G NR. NR Broadcast: Enable new business cases - Public Services - Government and public service entities have urgent demand for 5G-enabled innovative ways of communicating with citizens. Broadcast shall be adopted to more efficiently deliver real-time emergency multi-media notifications to a wide variety of devices under the scope of public safety (like disaster warning, security, pandemic control, etc.). - Multimedia Live Streaming in crowed activities(Concerts⁄Sport Games) - Innovative broadcast services like Multi-angle live viewing, game statistics broadcasting, XR enhanced viewing, etc. Broadcast mode is essential for such highbitrate-high-concurrency services. CBN is planning to showcase innovative NR MBS broadcast services in Beijing Olympic Winter Games 2022. - Massive IoT - Identical content needs to be distributed to a massive number of devices like smart home appliances. It is inefficient to use unicast⁄multicast for this, but ideal for broadcast. It makes OTA (over-the-air) firmware upgrades⁄group messaging⁄etc. much more efficient. - V2X - Broadcast enables vehicles to efficiently communicate with the network and its surroundings, making the network to more efficiently deliver real-time information, such as software and traffic updates, as well as the emergency Multimedia notifications to the vehicle driver⁄passengers.

Discussion and conclusion:
CC#1: This was related to the LS in SP-200810. CBN presented these slides, which argues against reducing the scope of the broadcast work, as this is needed for many new business demands on 5G NR. FirstNet supported this proposal and added that all Mission Critical procedures use broadcast and do not use multicast. AT&T, SynchTechno, Huawei, ZTE supported this contribution proposal. Qualcomm asked what was intended for massive IoT work on this. ZTE added that the original scoping of Rel-17 should not be changed now. FirstNet asked all delegates with interest in Mission Critical to also follow and contribute to this topic in the TSG RAN meeting. This was then noted.

TD SP-200646 (LS IN) LS from TM Forum: TM Forum implementation experiences 3GPP NRM Models. (Source:TM Forum (Liaison 3GPP SA5 TM Forum SID and NRM Models)).
Document for: Action.
Abstract: Several TM Forum Members have participated in a series of 5G related Proof of Concept Catalyst projects beginning in 2016. These Catalyst have generally focused on 5G enabled services that are exposed to industry vertical applications, such as media, emergency services, remote maintenance, etc. The common elements of these Catalysts have been captured by the Open Digital Architecture (ODA) Production team into a model for exposing 5G Enabled services in GB999 ODA Production Implementation Guidelines v4.0 The essential elements in this work for 5G implementation are captured in IG1211 ODA 5G Management Implementation Guidelines v1.0. The key elements are: - Use of TMF909 API Suite Specification for NaaS v3.0.1 for 5G enabled exposed services. - Mapping from operations domains exposing NaaS API using TM Forum Information Framework (SID) Customer Facing Service (CFS) models to resource level models from 3GPP as realised by 5G vendors. The Business rationale and requirements for this approach are documented in IG1194 Focus on Services not Slices v1.0.1 Which also covers the use of the GSMA GST ⁄ NeST attributes. Liaison Many of our Communication Service Providers have been asking for practical guidance on how to integrate OSS⁄BSS solutions based on TM Forum Management standards with Resource level solutions emerging from network technology focused SDO including 3GPP for 3⁄4⁄5G technologies. This has stimulated the production of the documents listed below for which SA WG5 feedback would be appreciated and for which focussed joint liaison work might be required for onward evolution of TM Forum and 3GPP assets. The two pieces of detailed modelling work are attached in: - IG1217 Resource Inventory of 3GPP NRM for Service Assurance v1.0 which describes how to practically map from 3GPP Network Resource Models (NRM) to TM Forum information models (SID) and Open APIs (REST) with JSON data models using Resource Inventory as an exemplar. - IG1211 ODA 5G Management Implementation Guidelines v1.0 which provides guidelines for five implementation questions that have arisen from members and extends IG1217 to cover concepts such as models for Resource Functions to model Network Slice and Network Slice Subnet with associated JSON representations. These impact three current 3GPP documents: - TS 28.620 Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) Federated Network Information Model (FNIM) Umbrella Information Model (UIM) (Release 15) - TS 32.107 Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) Federated Network Information Model (FNIM) (Release 15) - TR 28.805 Study on management aspects of communication services (Release 16) And there are impacts on the GSMA GST slicing model which are referenced in TR 28.805. {. . .} We look forward to your feedback and the opportunity to collaborate further though direct discussion. Regards, Cecilia Ortega Lagos TM Forum.

TD SP-200650 (LS IN) LS from RAN WG2: Response LS to TSG SA on mandatory support of full rate user plane integrity protection for 5G. (Source:RAN WG2 (R2-2008643)).
Document for: Action.
Abstract: RAN WG2 would like to thank TSG SA#88-e for their LS on 'mandatory support of full rate user plane integrity protection for 5G' [SP-200617] and the decision for which architecture options the requirement shall apply from Rel-16 onwards. RAN WG2 has discussed the request from SA#88-e and concluded that the requirement shall apply for NR connected to 5GC (aka Architecture Option 2) and further that it applies for NR-DC (handled in RAN terminology under the MR-DC framework), which has no explicit 'Option notation'. As RAN WG2 concluded based on company input that NR-DC would absolutely make sense considering the request from SA and the technical challenges are negligible once the UE implemented support for full rate UPIP for SA Option 2; based on this technical analysis RAN WG2 also decided to apply the mandatory full rate UPIP for NE-DC with MN terminated bearers as technically this is similar to NR-DC and covered in RAN WG2 already under the MR-DC framework. NE-DC with SN terminated bearers (i.e. in the eNB) should be subject to the further work in SA WG3 for Rel-17 and should consequently being covered in their new WI. RAN WG2 agreed during it's RAN WG2#111e meeting two CRs to reflect the UE requirements for Rel-16 in TS 38.300 [R2-2008513] and TS 37.340 [R2-2008639]. Regarding the addition of NE-DC with MN terminated bearers into the agreement, RAN WG2 would like to advise CT WG1 and SA WG2 to check their related changes to their specifications for any cross-WG inconsistency. To conclude corresponding work for other Architecture options in Rel-17, RAN WG2 will wait for the outcome of the discussions in SA WG3, looking forward receiving related requirements. Action: RAN WG2 asks TSG SA, CT WG1, SA WG2, SA WG3, TSG RAN and TSG CT to take the decisions above of RAN WG2 into account and note that the request by SA#88e has been accomplished for Rel-16. It should be especially noted that based on the discussions in RAN#111e NR-DC and NE-DC with MN terminated bearers are also already part of the agreement in RAN WG2.

Abstract: Discusses the requirement of 5G GUTI re-allocation and how it impacts the CIoT signalling transactions.
Comment:
Noted.
Discussion and conclusion:
CC#1: Huawei supported Option 1, which was the preference of the majority of companies in CT WG1. Intel supported Option 1. Ericsson commented that it has traditionally been an operator decision depending on the security risks inherent and supported Option 2. Nokia preferred Option 1. MediaTek supported Option 1. Vodafone commented that assuming the mandatory requirement was only in the SA WG3 TS and not the CT WG1 TS, in reality Option 2 will be implemented. As many IoT devises are likely to be used by individual users, there is likely to be a large exposure risk to users. Qualcomm commented that the complication was dependent on whether the signalling procedures allow the allocation of a new 5G GUTI or not. Vodafone replied that in this case Option 1 was preferred. Sony supported Option 2. This document was then noted.

Discussion and conclusion:
CC#1: This LS was left for further consideration over e-mail.
CC#3: SP-200796_Rev3 was the latest proposal. Qualcomm commented that they objected to Rev3. Ericsson commented that it was unfortunate that there were 'hidden agendas' in companies leading to a blocking in progress on these discussions. Intel asked how urgent it was to make a decision at this meeting and whether SA WG3 would be asked to further discuss this. Nokia commented that SA WG3 had already discussed this extensively and supported the proposal of Qualcomm and asked to consider the latest proposals. Huawei commented that no further progress can be expected from SA WG3 and suggested making a Working Agreement if this cannot be resolved. Ericsson commented that there is higher security being considered for this feature, rather than lower, and there are studies done by outside bodies which identify the difficulties of different methods of tracking UE identities and recommended companies review these. The TSG SA Chairman commented that a Working Agreement on the LS may not be possible and will check on this as a possibility if required. This was left for further off-line discussion.
CC#4: Sony objected to approving the original LS. The proposal for a way forward in SP-200870 was reviewed and a Working agreement was established based upon it. Ericsson asked to clarify in the LS that the statement is based upon an unconfirmed working agreement. Orange asked to use the normative terminology of the working agreement in the LS. The LS was revised accordingly. Qualcomm asked whether the LS was still needed if SP-200870 can be endorsed. The SA WG3 chairman asked whether companies need to bring CRs to SA WG3 based on the working agreement or whether the leadership needs to identify the CRs. Objections on these CRs based on objection to the working agreement should not be allowed, but objections for other valid technical reasons need to be resolved. The SA WG2 Chairman asked if there are objections to a number of CRs, it may be difficult to determine whether the objections are valid with respect to the Working Agreement. Such CRs which have sustained objections can either be brought by the WG to TSG SA for resolution or can be contributed directly to TSG SA by company contribution. Ericsson commented that TSG SA has had a procedural discussion and SA WG3 should be expected to do a full analysis of this issue before agreeing to CRs. The SA WG2 Chairman asked to add that WGs take the working agreement into account and provide relevant CRs into account. The working agreement in SP-3200870 should be referenced and attached to the LS. Qualcomm provided the updated LS in SP-200796_Rev1. SP-200796_Rev1 was approved. (This will be revised by MCC into a new TD number with correction from TSG SA#90-e to TSG SA#89-e).
e-mail discussion:
Haris (Qualcomm) starts email discussion
Krister (Ericsson) states that me the option 1 is a special case of option 2. As said I see that the frequency of refresh of a temporary identifier is decided by the network operator. The operator may then configure AMF so option 1 is the behavior. That can be the correct behavior for normal UEs as there is a risk of an attack of tracking a UE, which is a privacy concern for the user.
There may be other IoT devices which does not have the same strict privacy requirement, and as such could benefit from a less often refresh of GUTI. The gain would be in signaling optimizations.
Wanqiang (Huawei) comment that option 2 brings extra complexity and makes the system unmanageable. It is not a reasonable approach to move forward.
Johannes (Deutsche Telekom) supports option1 and supports the text in the LS as is. DT ranks the privacy and security issues as higher priority than optimizations. Exception to the existing procedures shall not be granted.
Lars (Sony) comment that option 1 will bring extra complexity and new triggers for AMF to perform UCU. And ask a question on the privacy issue.
Krister (Ericsson) comments that there is has only been a discussion here about privcay related to tracking a UE moving. No other security related issues identified.
Johannes (Deutsche Telekom) clarifies that option1 reflects the specified solution of 5GS and option2 is the request for exceptional hanlding of certain UEs in 5GS
Lars (Sony) option1 goes beyond the existing procedures.
Haris (Qualcomm) provides response to Wangqiang
Erik⁄Andy (Samsung) supports option 1, as there is privacy threat.
Hucheng(CATT) supports option1, but thinks, if understanding is correct, the wording of option 1 could be enhanced:
'Option 1: Allocation of a new 5G-GUTI temporary identifier to the UE in IDLE mode in response to paging in 5G is mandatory and shall apply in all cases including all CIoT optimisations'
From the clarifying question(s) I (Chris, Vodafone) asked in the Tuesday web call, I understand that the options are actually:
Option 1: the standards shall enable GUTI reallocation at every Mobile Terminating RRC connection establishment.
Option 2: the standard prevents GUTI reallocation at every Mobile Terminating RRC connection establishment.
In which case Vodafone prefers option 1.
Haris (Qualcomm) observes that there is preference to go with Option 1 and suggests companies to propose comments to the wording
Orange supports Option 1.
While Option 2 may give operators the flexibility of managing the (signalling) optimization which can be of significance for CIoT devices⁄applications without temporary GUTI allocated each time paging is performed, it may introduce some extra complexity, if, e.g. the exception should be given by HPLMN and⁄or VPLMN in roaming, when and for what CIoT devices⁄applications should be given the exception, even if it is configurable. This may adversely affect the optimization intended by Option 2.
In addition, SA3 has already clearly defined in TS33.501 from Release 15 that the mandatory allocation by AMF of a new 5G-GUTI temporary identifier to the UE in response to a Paging message as a security and privacy protection enhancement of 5G. Option 2 would cause some mis-alignment and even contradictions with the SA3 specifications and open up more discussions⁄work in SA2, SA3 and CT1 at least about to dynamically configure GUTI for those that requires enhanced security for some CIoT devices⁄applications vs those that may have less security constraints. This may adversely affect achievable optimization after all.
Saad (Interdigital). Interdigital also preferers option 1.
Wanqiang (Huawei) provides further comments regarding the update from Ericsson and propose to stick to the original text in SP-200796.
Krister (Ericsson) provides update of the text in option 1. Option 1: Upon receiving a temporary identifier (S-TMSI or I-RNTI) sent by a UE in response to a paging message, it is mandatory for the network to re-allocate the used temporary identifier that was sent in the response message from the UE. This requirement is valid for any type of UE.
Haris (Qualcomm) provides response to Chris(Vodafone)
Lars (Sony) provides further comments on the privacy issue.
Krister (Ericsson) asks Wanqiang to explain the loose comment which missed to explain 'track the link'. Ericsson can not agree the original text of QC as it is not covering the 3rd case that I describe below.
Wanqiang (Huawei) provides response and ask further question.
Lars (Sony) We support Krister's alternative option 1 wording.
Haris (Qualcomm) comments that the thread is for the approval of original or potentially revised text in SP-200796 and the text in SP-200795 is not going to be further modified since the paper is already noted
Krister (Ericsson) provides provide revision to the draft LS in rev1.
(Samsung) provides details on the privacy threat. Clarifies that temporary identifiers (S-TMSI and⁄or I-RNTI) that were used in the paging message and sent by a UE in response to a paging message should be re-allocated. Re-allocation of I-RNTI is mandated by TS 33.501, similarly 5G-GUTI needs to be reallocated.
Lars (Sony) we support rev1 of the LS.
Patrice (Huawei) proposes to produce a slide with the statement for working agreement based on the original proposal.
Haris (Qualcomm) agrees with the proposal from Patrice and produces first draft
Krister (Ericsson) provides response giving an explanation how the failure case also will be handled including a S-TMSI reallocation taking place. Ericsson clear see that that the text proved by Ericsson in LS response rev1 covers mandatory re-allocation requirement needed to handle the privacy issue of tracking threat.
Wanqiang(Huawei) supports the draft from Haris and provides a small update.
Lars(Sony) The ppt is only a copy of the original LS and serves no additional purpose than the original version of the LS.
Krister (Ericsson)
Dear all,
This discussion we are having in SA plenary #89-e is to protect privacy threat through tracking of a CIoT UE.
In Rel-16 we have two solutions fully specified including ASN.1 coding. The Control Plane CIoT solution as well as the User Plane CIoT solution. As shown with reasonable logical evidence in the mails sent by Ericsson and SONY to SA public mail reflector show that the UP CIoT solution has higher protection against tracking of a UE, since there is no one-to-one correlation between the temporary
Identifier sent by the network and the paging response sent by the UE.
It has also been showed that procedures are specified for the Network to re-allocate the 5G-GUTI (S-TMSI) as frequent as network finds appropriate (similar to legacy specifications) are also specified.
It has also been shown and proposed as a new requirement to clarify in TS 33.501:
Upon receiving a temporary identifier (S-TMSI or I-RNTI) sent by a UE in response to a paging message, it is mandatory for the network to re-allocate the used temporary identifier that was sent in the response message from the UE. This requirement is valid for any type of UE.
This text will also fully answer the question from CT1 in the LS to SA3 (S3-2000615⁄C1-200967)
Furthermore, It has also been shown that current procedures of the RCC resume failure will lead to release of RRC connection and that NAS level procedures will follow on. It is then required to re-allocate the 5G-GUTI as already required and specified.
It has also been seen that two of the main companies behind the UP CIoT solutions are providing all these evidence. Still the companies with main interest in the CP CIoT Solution are putting unjustified demand on the UP CIoT solution. This without any detailed analysis presented that is showing that the protection level against a tracking attack of the UE is less compared to a CP CIoT UE. On the contrary, the protection level against tracking is higher than for the CP CIoT solution.
Going back to any text in mails on SA3 mailing list and tdocs over the last three SA3 meetings, it is clear that this weeks SA plenary discussion on this subject is more detailed on both describing possible attack scenario as well as on how the currently Rel-16 procedures for the UP CIoT are specified and expected to work.
Therefore, I finds it unfair and unjustified for companies, with little interest in UP CIoT solution, to go for a working agreement on these grounds presented in SP-200870. I would rather task SA3 to make a detailed analysis of the potential tracking attack scenarios that shows any evidence.
Furthermore that CT1 clarifies where it may be unclear in specifications if determined necessary. Our analysis of specifications are that procedures cross interfaces are in place to handle this properly but as always behavior description can be more clear in particular related to failure cases.
BR ⁄ Krister
Krister (Ericsson) thanks Lars for the analysis. After going through a mails and tdoc over the last 3 SA3 meeting it is clear that the analysis of both the attack scenarios and analysis of the current Rel-16 specifications has been in more details in SA#89-e than what has been in done in SA3. Clearly SA3 needs to do their job here in upcoming meetings.

Document for: Approval.
Abstract: Proposal for endorsement: SA discussed and acknowledged the trade-off between user privacy protection and signalling optimisation for 5G CIoT. Considering this trade off if the same 5G-GUTI is used multiple times for paging even for CIoT UEs, there exists a privacy risk (identification of the UE's presence in a particular location). Therefore, for a UE in 5GMM-IDLE mode with suspend indication, the network shall always allocate a new 5G-GUTI after paging and resume of a connection, even if a NAS message is not sent.
Comment:
Endorsed. A working Agreement will be created based on this proposal.
Discussion and conclusion:
CC#4: Qualcomm propose to endorse this text as a way forward. Sony objected to this text as it is the same as in the original LS. Who would endorse the proposal as a working agreement: 21 Who does not endorse the proposal as a working agreement: 2 A working agreement was made based on SP-200870. This will be posted on the Web pages and may result in a Vote at TSG #90-e if there are any challenges by the deadline which cannot be resolved at the meeting. This contribution was then endorsed.

Block 3.
Comment:
The SA WG1 Chairman presented rev1 of the report. Noted.
Discussion and conclusion:
CC#2: The SA WG1 Chairman presented rev1 of the report: https:⁄⁄www.3gpp.org⁄ftp⁄tsg_sa⁄TSG_SA⁄TSGs_89E_Electronic⁄Inbox⁄Revisions⁄SP-200778_rev1.zip Slide 4: The TSG SA Chairman asked for confirmation that these times can be adjected if changes are made in the Rel-17 planning in December 2020. This was confirmed. Slide 3: AT&T commented that it was too soon to start considering Rel-19 and asked SA WG1 not to do this at this time. Also if further deprioritization is needed then items may slip from one Release to the next. Slide 3: Intel asked how the limit of 15 units was arrived at, if it assumed all WIs need the same amount of time. The SA WG1 Chairman replied this is not a rule, but a recommendation from the SA WG1 Chairman and 15 is not a 'rule' but a workable limit to the time without needing to start using time units. CMCC commented that it can be useful to make SA WG1 more efficient, but as there are a large number of studies ongoing the limits should be set earlier in the cycle. Xiaomi commented that is no new Rel-18 work can be proposed after September 2021 and asked whether given the Rel-17 slippage, more Rel-18 proposals could be possible. This should be discussed over the e-mail. Ericsson commented that there are two issues, the capacity of SA WG1 and its delegates' availability for the diverse topics and also the expectation of deprioritised Rel-17 work which is likely to be included in Rel-18. Huawei commented that imposing a limit of 15 study items is acceptable as a guideline, but should not block SID proposals just because it has been reached. General: The proposed Rel-18 Freeze dates should be further discussed over e-mail. The SA WG1 Chairman was thanked for this report, which was noted.
CC#4: There had been discussion over the suggested Stage 1 Rel-18 freeze dates proposed by SA WG1. AT&T suggested that no artificial boundaries are created to a certain SA WG1 meeting. The TSG SA Chairman suggested this is reviewed again at the December TSG SA meeting. SA WG1 should take new Rel-18 proposals (e.g. SID) at least in it's next meeting. TSG SA will discuss this issue again at the December TSG SA meeting. Sony asked whether the SA WG1 ad-hoc meeting had been decided. The SA WG1 Chairman replied that the decision will be made in December. The ad-hoc meeting has been planned and may need to be cancelled in December.
e-mail discussion:
New revision uploaded where slide 8 incorporates all the latest information about future SA1 meetings.
Sherry (Xiaomi) requests for clarification about the timeline for R18 new SIDs proposal.
Wenruo (Huawei) commented that Rel-18 stage1 timeline should keep open before R-17 timeline is stabilized. It is clear the freeze date of R18 stage 1 should not be earlier than Sept. 2021. With that, it is too early to close the door for any new R18 SID proposal in SA1 in the coming SA1 meeting.
Saso (Intel) supports Wenruo's view that the door for new R18 SID proposals in SA1 should remain open at least in Q4. If SA1 is in overload situation, then prioritization exercise should take place.
Ming (CATT) supports Wenruo's view and think the door for new R18 SID proposals in SA1 should remain open. If necessary, prioritization exercise on approved Rel-18 SA1 SID should take place either within SA1 or at SA plenary.
Tony (Futurewei) supports the view expressed by Huawei, Intel, and CATT regarding the Rel-18 timeline (i.e., kept open till Rel-17 timeline is decided), allowing new Rel-18 proposal till then, and doing prioritization exercise of SA1 SID⁄WIDs if needed.
Tao Sun (China Mobile) share the same view as the previous companies that it is too early to put new SIDs into R19 with the situation that even R17 timeline not fully settled down with likely 6 months delay. We suggest not close the door of R18 stage 1 study in this stage and prioritization within SA1 can be done if considered needed.
Telefonica supports the previous statement by China Mobile.

Comment:
CC#5: Noted.
Discussion and conclusion:
CC#5: General: The TSG SA Chairman confirmed that most decisions in TSG RAN were in line with TSG SA and intended to have a discussion on the inactivity period for WGs, but the TEI handling will need further discussion. Slide 4: Nokia welcomed TSG SA discussing the inactive periods agreed by TSG RAN for TSG SA groups. This discussion is likely to happen the first or second week of October. Slide 3: The MCC Director asked whether the 2020⁄2021 meeting plan was final and could be entered in the Calendar. This was confirmed. AT&T asked what the meaning of the further shift out to 9 months delay if there are no F2F meetings possible in 2021 and whether this planning was fixed and the implications on the SA WGs schedules. It was clarified that TSG SA had identified a 3-month shift, but the final decision cannot be made at present and will be reviewed again in December. The TSG RAN Chairman was thanked for this report, which was noted.

TD SP-200861 (LS IN) LS from TSG CT: LS on information of stage 3 aspects for AKMA. (Source:TSG CT (CP-202255)).
Document for: Action.
Abstract: TSG CT has approved the WID AKMA-CT in Release 17 to implement the AKMA in stage 3, whereas the corresponding stage 2 requirements are in Rel-16. Action: TSG CT kindly ask TSG SA and SA WG3 to take above into account.
Comment:
SA WG3 and SA WG1 will work on CRs that will propose to shift AKMA SA WG3 to Rel-17. Additional changes for separate discussions. Proposal to change BB to Feature for discussion in SA WG3. Noted.
Discussion and conclusion:
CC#3: The question on whether to leave AKMA in Rel-16 or to move it to Rel-17 in the specifications. The SA WG3 Chairman commented that there is no issue with either decision and there are two TSs which will need update if the AKMA functionality needs to be removed from Rel 16. SA WG3 wee asked to create CRs to remove functionality from Rel 16 and include it in Release 17. Huawei commented that this should be done by first inserting it into Rel 17 with a TS upgrade to Rel 17 and then to remove from Rel 16 with CRs. The SA WG3 Chairman commented that the provision of any necessary WID update and CRs should follow the usual contribution-based process at SA WG3 meetings. CMCC commented that SA WG2 can move the AKMA functionality to Rel-17 but it should not be re-scoped due to this decision. Any proposals for change to the scope of the work should follow the usual procedures. Matrixx suggested moving this from a Building Block to a Feature in the Work Plan. Summary: SA WG3 and SA WG1 will work on CRs that will propose to shift AKMA SA WG3 to Rel-17. If additional changes are requested in SA WG3⁄SA WG1 then those requests need to be handled in separate discussions. Matrixx proposed to change SA WG3 WID from BB to Feature - this will be handled in SA WG3 discussions. This LS was then noted.

TD SP-200858 (REPORT) Status report of TSG CT#89-e. (Source:TSG CT Chairman).
Document for: Presentation.
Abstract: Status report of TSG CT#89-e. Yvette Koza, CT WG4 Vicechair has announced her retirement and the Vice Chairman ship for CT WG4 will remain vacant for the time-being. For Information to SA E-meetings in 1H 2021: - Based on the current situation, it is assumed that meetings in 1H⁄2021 will be in electronic format - TSG plenary dates are confirmed and will not be changed - WG meetings scheduled taking into account the plenary dates - If it appears that F2F meetings for one group or all the WGs can be safely resumed in the upcoming months, e-meetings will be converted to F2F meetings when feasible. Rel-17 timeline: - SA#89 may decide to shift stage 2 completion date to SA#91 - Could be 3-month delay - CT will check the SA#89 final output and decide on: - Stage 3 freeze date: Stage 2 freeze date + 9 months? - OpenAPI freeze date: Stage 3 freeze date + 3 months? - The final decision for CT will be taken in December - Any decision on the stage 2 freeze date should be considered as firm and definitive - A moving target makes difficult to correctly plan the stage 3 work Resuming the ToR Update process: - Work on a common description form for all working groups - Work on a common style for all working groups (Template) - Present draft version to the WG - Target for completion: TSG#90 For Action to SA Handling of TEI17-x WI: - TEI17-X created in SA WG2 have to be treated as normal WI in CT - If stage 3 work needed, a corresponding WI will be created in CT - Reusing the same WI code would ease the tracking of the all the CRs agreed - However, it should be made clear that any TEI17 CR in SA WG2 should not require a specific WI - Especially when TEI17 CRs are triggered based on work on done in CT - Example: LS on AUSF⁄UDM discovery based on SUCI information (CP-202214) - Moreover, CT can approve TEI17 cat B CR without WID - Need for cross-TSG alignment CR: Procedure updates relating to WI: - Aim: Add guidance on the use of TEI. - SA#82 - SP-181188: First presentation - SA#83 - SP-190270: Approval - No LS has been sent to CT - Therefore, CT was not able to - evaluate the proposal - provide a formal feedback to SA before the update of TS 21.900 AUSF⁄UDM discovery based on SUCI information: - LS in CP-202214 (C4-204337) - CT WG4 has analyzed the issue of insufficient length of Routing Indicator within SUCI, currently it is only 4 digits which is too short. - CT WG4 has also discussed the solution enabling to use the Home Public Key ID as an additional parameter (that allows to encode e.g. a 5th digit, in addition to the key ID on 4 bits) for the discovery of the AUSF⁄UDM. - SA WG2 should provide corresponding stage-2 requirements first - SA WG2 is kindly asked to handle this topic in Q4 2020. AKMA Stage 3 issue: - Authentication and key management for applications based on 3GPP credential in 5G - Stage 2 completed in Rel-16 in SA WG3 - CT approved a WID for Rel-17 (too late for rel-16) - Stage 2 and stage 3 should be part of the same release - Stage 2 without stage 3 implies vendor-specific implementation - SA and SA WG3 are kindly requested to shift AKMA from Rel-16 to Rel-17 Acknowledgement: - Thanks to CT vice chairs, CT WG chairs and vice chairs and rapporteurs for excellent coordination of and work. Special thanks to MCC for excellent meeting support. - Thanks to the delegates in CT WGs and CT for achieving all deadlines as promised and delivering an enormous amount of CRs and input papers.

Discussion and conclusion:
CC#4: Slide 14: Motorola Solutions asked for confirmation that 3GPP will move to F2F meetings as a group and not on a per-WG basis. The TSG SA Chairman could not give such an assurance at present as different WGs have different compositions of delegates from countries and it may be possible for some to hold F2F meetings before others, but it is important to allow the resumption of F2F meetings as soon as it is practical in order to more efficiently progress the work. Slide 15: The MCC Work Plan Manager commented that there are 3 Rel-17 time lines from each TS, and as they are roughly aligned, there is a problem in having three separate timelines. The TSG SA Chairman replied that there is a single timeline, decided in March, but these are proposals for what shift may be needed for decision in December. All 3 TSGs are indicating that a shift of 3 months is to be expected, depending on developments by December 2020. For Rel-18 there is no official timeline, but only assumptions being made by SA WG1 to progress their work. Slide 21: Intel asked what the decision on the stage 2 shift was for AKMA in TSG CT. It was clarified that the Stage 3 WID was approved for Rel-17 and the Stage 2 AKMA work will need to be moved to Rel-17 and the Stage 2 Rel-16 TS will need to be removed and references to it updated. The TSG CT Chairman was thanked for this report, which was noted.

Abstract: Objective: The objectives of this study are to identify and evaluate the requirements and solutions to support user consent for 3GPP services while compliant with user privacy consideration. The detailed objectives are as follows: - Review TR 33.849 with regards to the concept of user consent for 3GPP users, and to identify what type of data collection and conditions under which the support of the user consent is required; then update them if needed; - Identify target usage scenarios and trust domains; - Analyze potential security threats and requirements for conditions under which user sensitive data is collected without user consent, and when user consent indication is not protected; - Identify potential solutions to address the above security requirements. NOTE: Principles, regulations, and definitions related to privacy, which are recognized differently in each different country or area, are taken into account when deriving the concept of user consent for 3GPP users. NOTE: Even where solutions exist to obtain user consent, collection and exposure of user sensitive data should be minimized and only be allowed where critical to the operation of the related feature.

Abstract: Objective: This study of YANG-Push will: 1. Investigate whether there will be any benefits with using the RFC 8639 and RFC 8641 for Telecom Management of a 3GPP system. 2. List all the functionality in the RFC 8639 and RFC 8641 and compare them to the corresponding existing 3GPP specifications' functionality. 3. Investigate if there are any SDOs ⁄ groups which have a demand for 3GPP MnS's to support YANG notifications. 4. Evaluate the use of YANG-Push for CM, FM, PM and Heartbeat and document potential proposals for encoding CM, FM, PM and Heartbeat notifications for YANG based data. The proposal will include use cases, potential requirements and solutions for potential changes in the 3GPP specifications. Include proposals for any needed new interfaces and any interfaces that may no longer be needed for the YANG⁄Netconf SS. 5. If YANG notifications are proposed for CM and⁄or for FM, PM and Heartbeat, investigate whether Stage 1 or 2 specifications need modification, especially considering notification subscriptions. 6. Investigate whether SA WG5 can have protocol agnostic stage 2. 7. Make conclusion and recommendations for normative work.

The SA5 chair does not support the suggestion from Gerald (Matrixx) which suggests the revision on parent WID (2.2) and other WID (2.3) to 'cover the correct allocation'. We switched to having full SA5 features instead of inserting our work items into other groups' features some years ago. The features are gathered by acronym together in the work plan so no need to use the BB structure here.

(Source:Intel, Deutsche Telekom AG, Tencent, Telefónica, Affirmed Network, AT&T, Sandvine, Convida Wireless, InterDigital, KPN, Verizon UK Ltd., KDDI, Vodafone, Telecom Italia, Cisco, b<>com, Spirent Communications).
Document for: Discussion.
Abstract: Summary: The proposed Rel-18 SA WG1 study (FS_SFCin5GS; S1-203293; updated for SA plenary in SP-200822) is supported by a large number of companies. The study proposal was noted in SA WG1 based on objections that do not challenge the technical aspects of the proposal. The comments from objecting companies focused on the wording and whether the work should proceed directly with normative work in SA WG1, or whether it can be carried out directly by stage 2 groups. This contribution provides a clear illustration of the potential stage 1 specification impact, but that a study is necessary before a conclusion can be made. Proposal: Based on the above, it is proposed to approve this SA WG1 Rel-18 SID proposal (Support of Service function chaining in 5G system (FS_SFCin5GS)).

Abstract: Objective: The aim of this work is to study the enable support of service function chaining in 5G system for value-added services provided by network operators to third parties, including:. The study will consider useUse cases and service requirements related to: - provide service definition of supported service functions and service function paths; - provide service configuration and management support of service functions and service function paths to third parties for applications and their users with value-added services, e.g. provided by 5GS only or both of 5GS and 3rd parties; - provide continuing same value-added service experiences for UEs using 5G services, e.g. eMBB, V2X, AVPROD, NCIS, etc., and moving between networks. Gap analysis between the identified service requirements and existing 5GS service requirements or functionalities. Note: the gap analysis takes into account previous work related to stage 1 services requirements on SFC already developed in other SDOs (e.g. IETF RFC 7665, IETF RFC 8300, IETF RFC 8459, ITU-T Y.2242, etc).

Nokia agreed with the issues raised by Ericsson and suggested that if there are stage 1 requirements which need to be addressed that these gaps should be identified and can be handled if necessary by normative WID and CR proposals, but did not see the need of a study for it. This was left for further consideration over e-mail.
CC#3: Intel reported that there was no consensus on this and suggested going forward with a WID update and CRs in SA WG1 and asked TSG SA to endorse the 3 items: 1 Acknowledging that N6-LAN is in scope (22.101 currently states SGi-LAN is out of scope) 2. Allowing third parties to configure service functions and SF paths for their applications 3. Adding requirements for management of SFs and SFPs intended primarily for enabling SA WG5 work. Huawei commented that these issues should be raised in an input document to the meeting and suggested discussing this at the next meeting. Vodafone commented that this has been extensively discussed in SA WG1 and proposed TSG SA endorse such bullets and asked whether the SID should be also converted to a WID. Nokia considered it too late in the meeting to submit a new WID for discussion and asked whether this could be left for the next meeting, which would allow SA WG1 to discuss the detail and agree CRs. Deutsche Telekom agreed with Nokia and supported converting the SID to a WID at this meeting as objections to progressing a SID are difficult to understand from a technical point of view. Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom and Telecom Italia supported attempting to produce a WID for approval at this meeting. Intel agreed to provide a proposal as a rev of this SID. AT&T and Vivo supported this proposal. Summary: This issue will be handled further in SA WG1. Saso will provide a WID proposal for discussion on Friday.
CC#4: SP-200822_Rev4 was the latest proposal, which was presented by Intel. Huawei commented that one of their important comments had not been accepted in this text and asked that any work done in SA WG5 should be made generic and not impose it's provision to third parties by operators. Nokia asked where 'N6-LAN' is to be removed and why this is done only for Rel 18 onwards as this will lead to incompatibility. Nokia also commented that SA WG1 do not deal with interfaces and the interface names should be removed. It was also unclear whether the Stage 1 is needed for SA WG5 to work on OAM features they consider useful. Vivo asked why the deadline for this was set to march when there is no particular time constraint for the work and SA WG1 have other studies to progress, suggesting moving it to June or later. Intel asked for the objections to be recorded as some appeared invalid and suggested allowing SA WG1 to determine their workload and the timescales for this. Deutsche Telekom commented that in SA WG1 discussions objections had made this a SID and then it has been discussed here to become a WID, so returning this to SA WG1 for further discussion will not help. Vodafone commented that if this is returned to SA WG1 there will be a new set of objections and considered this needs to be decided at TSG SA. Huawei commented that delaying the approval of this work until the next TSG will not impact the work, given that it is proposed now as a WID, rather than SID. The TSG SA Chairman suggested postponing this if no resolution can be reached at this meeting. Intel reported a proposed SP-200822_Rev6. Huawei asked to allow more time to work on this off-line and in the next SA WG1 meeting, until the next TSG SA meeting. Nokia also asked to further discuss this offline. Huawei and Nokia were asked to put their concerns or objections with SP-200822_Rev6. into the e-mail minutes comments. This SID was then postponed.
e-mail discussion:
Saso (Intel) initiates discussion thread on SP-200822.
Nokia has concerns with approving a SID on this topic as we believe that the best course of action would be to ask companies to propose a WID and related CRs in Q4 with the delta requirements that are not yet captured in TS 22.261 ( also by inheritance of those in TS 22.101 clause 30).
Patrice (Huawei) provides concerns, and proposes that discussion continues further in WGs before we can approve something (for minutiae: objects to the original paper).
Adrian (vivo) asks a question for clarification.
Krister (Ericsson) has the same view as expressed by Huawei. In addition pointing out that the 22.261 has the requirement that
, the 5G system shall support all EPS capabilities (e.g. from TSs 22.011, 22.101, 22.278, 22.185, 22.071, 22.115, 22.153, 22.173, 22.468),
In SA1 we are with term 5G System including SA2 N6-LAN as part of 5G System.
Saso (Intel) replies to comments. Seeks clarification from SA1 Chairman.
Saso (Intel) provides SP-200822rev1.
Adrian (vivo) suggest to move completion date to June 2021.
Saso (Intel) prefers keeping the completion date to Mar 2021.
Haris (Qualcomm) comments on ticking the ME and AN boxes to NO
Saso (Intel) provides rev2 with ME impact changed to 'No'.
Patrice (Huawei) manages to propose a draft revision (in the drafts folder) that could be something we could work with in such a short notice.
Saso (Intel) provides rev4.
Saso (Intel) replies to Alessio.
Gerald (Matrixx) suggest small editorial on rev4 and support the WID.
Alessio(Nokia) is expressing further concerns and providing more suggestions.
Saso (Intel) provides rev5.
Patrice (Huawei) sees that the revisions do not address his comments, and are not based on correct statements, therefore continues to object.
Saso (Intel) provides r06.
Patrice (Huawei) provides the rationale why this work would benefit for more activity at SA1 before being discussed in SA plenary, maintains his request to mark the document as postponed.
Saso (Intel) replies to patrice.
Patrice (Huawei) provides the following reasons for postponing: beside the fact that the SID-now-WID provided by the supporting companies has changed drastically since its initial submission to SA#89e, we still have concerns on the contents of the latest revision, and we believe there is no rush to force an approval of the contribution at this plenary, and instead we should work on making the best content that is agreeable to all parties, following the principles of 3GPP of doing work based on consensus. Technical concerns have been raised in details during the week and recorded as part of the email exchange and can be retrieved on list.etsi.org. I expect that further discussion will be initiated ahead of the next SA1 meeting.
Saso (Intel) kindly asks Alessio ⁄ Nokia to provide a note about the remaining concern they have with SP-200822rev6 <https:⁄⁄www.3gpp.org⁄ftp⁄tsg_sa⁄TSG_SA⁄TSGs_89E_Electronic⁄Inbox⁄Revisions⁄SP-200822_rev6.zip> for the record.
Nokia provides the text about concerns expressed:
Looking at the objectives:
- Fixing the implication that N6-LAN is 'out of 3GPP scope'.
- Allowing authorized third parties to request utilisation of specific service functionality on N6 and service functionality chaining for their applications.
- Allowing the management of service functionality on N6 and service functionality chaining, intended primarily for enabling SA5 work.
* The first objective to us needs to impact existing 22.101 and this can be a normal CAT-F work.
* The other two objectives were unclear and volatile as even 5 minutes before the confcall evolved to imply charging requirements were targeted, and this was never discussed before. For this we have had no time to check internally. For OAM aspects, we believe that normally work in SA5 can start without stage one so the objectives were probably not needed to 'enable' SA5 work.
For these reasons, Nokia has expressed concerns to approve this WID at TSG SA#89 and has suggested to continue the discussion in SA1 in Q4. For the records Nokia request at the beginning of the week has been to discuss the WID and the CRs starting from Q4 in SA1 so Nokia was not proposing to agree to a WID at TSG SA level.

TD SP-200798 (SID NEW) New SID: Study on vehicle-mounted relays (FS_VMR).. (Source:SA WG1).
Document for: Approval.
Abstract: Objective: The aim of this work is to study use cases and potential new service requirements for 5G system support of base station relays mounted on vehicles, using NR self-backhauling to connect with donor gNB and 5GC, including: - Use cases and requirements related to: o Vehicle (base station) relays providing service to UEs inside the vehicle or in the vicinity of the vehicle; o End-to-end service continuity during mobility scenarios (including mobility of the relays); o Provisioning, policies and control mechanisms, e.g. ? Provisioning of spectrum used by the relays, geographic area restrictions for relays; ? Control of relay operation, UEs access and connectivity via relays. - Aspects related to roaming of relays, security, regulatory requirements (e.g. for emergency services), charging, spectrum interference. - Gap analysis between the identified requirements and existing 5GS requirements or functionalities. NOTE 1: potential conflicts with other ongoing studies⁄work on relays (e.g. RAN IAB) should be avoided. NOTE 2: the base station relay is assumed to use NR-Uu for the connection with the UE, and with donor gNB. NOTE 3: the study should investigate potential new requirements for both UEs and Network; support and impacts for legacy UEs should also be considered. NOTE 4: single-hop (NR-Uu) relay should be the main⁄baseline scenario; multi-hop (NR-Uu) can also be considered. NOTE 5: main focus should be on relays mounted on ground⁄land moving vehicles; applicability of general⁄common requirements to other types of mobile base station relays (e.g. using other moving vehicles or devices) may be considered.
Comment:
CC#3: China Mobile withdrew their objection. Approved.
Discussion and conclusion:
CC#2: Qualcomm suggested noting China Mobile comment and proceed to the approval of the SID. AT&T commented that their RAN colleagues did not see any overlap with their work with this proposed study. The TSG SA Chairman pointed out that this had been agreed in SA WG1 and should be further discussed. China Mobile commented that the TSG meeting was considered the right place to make their objections as this is where the approval takes place. This should be further discussed over e-mail.
CC#3: China Mobile withdrew their objection with the understanding that there will be a gap analysis done in the study phase and expressed their disappointment that this could not move forward after long discussions, contribution, clarification and merging of proposals. This new SID was then approved. China Mobile provided the following statement: With the understanding that requirement gap can be identified in study phase, as clearly stated in this SID, Tao Sun (China Mobile) recall the objection. China Mobile expect the same chance and raise the concern that R18 stage 1 Study proposal cannot move forward after 6 month effort with two companies' claim of insufficient gap analysis even contributors provided discussion paper, online and offline clarifications, long list of supporting companies, merge multiple proposals as requested.
e-mail discussion:
Tao (China Mobile) objects to SP-200798 and all its revisions. The SID is related with RAN on-going R17 work. In view of potential delay of R17, we believe neither it is right time nor need a study.

Abstract: Objective: The objectives of this study are: - Study use cases for enhanced 5G system support of a hosting network providing users⁄devices access to specific services, offered by the hosting network operator, other mobile operator(s) or 3rd party provider(s). Including scenarios where: o Access to services through the hosting network could be on demand, temporary and⁄or cover specific location(s); o The operator of the hosting network, or other mobile operator offering services to users, can be a PLMN or NPN operator; o Different RATs (3GPP or non-3GPP) and spectrum (licensed or unlicensed) could be considered; o The hosting network can also provide specific network services, e.g. location based service, time synchronization etc. - Investigate potential new service requirements, including: o Enabling users⁄UEs to discover availability of specific target networks and specific services through a hosting network; o Network functionalities to negotiate and configure access and requirements for a specific service (e.g. QoS, network slicing, charging, onboarding etc.); ? Can include policy management, service⁄QoS monitoring, and interaction between the hosting network and other mobile operator or 3rd party (offering the service) , e.g. via API or other standard mechanisms o Enabling users⁄UEs to concurrently use specific target services offered through a hosting network and the regular services offered by the HPLMN of the user⁄UE; o Enabling access to the hosting network and specific services for users⁄UEs without previous relationship with the hosting network; o Consideration of regulatory and security aspects. - Gap analysis between potential new requirements and existing requirements and functionalities supported by 3GPP, e.g. VIAPA, NPN, slicing, QoS, etc.
Comment:
CC#3: China Mobile withdrew their objection. Approved.
Discussion and conclusion:
CC#2: China Mobile clarified that the proposal was to do the Gap analysis in the normative work, rather than in the study and they did not consider the study necessary as the functionality can be handled by existing Stage 2 features. Samsung replied that this was a Stage 1 study and agreed by SA WG1 and should be allowed to proceed. Intel commented that these SIDs do have a gap analysis in their scopes. The SA WG1 Chairman reported that these two SIDs were agreed without objection in SA WG1 and a Gap analysis is always done in SA WG1, even though there is no requirement to do one. Qualcomm suggested noting China Mobile comment and proceed to the approval of the SID. The TSG SA Chairman asked China Telecom to further discuss this to determine whether some minor changes can resolve their issues with these SIDs and TSG SA should carefully consider whether WG agreed Study items should be rejected this early into their target Release. This should be further discussed over e-mail.

TD SP-200819 (DISCUSSION) Thoughts about enumerating SA WG1 requirements. (Source:Siemens, Philips).
Document for: Endorsement.
Abstract: We share our thoughts about an enumeration process for SA WG1 reports and specifications.
Comment:
CC#3: TSG SA Chairman will start a moderated TSG SA e-mail discussion on the enumeration issue until the next TSG SA meeting. This was then noted.
Discussion and conclusion:
CC#2: Deutsche Telekom asked whether the enumeration was intended only for requirements related to Verticals, as they have some concerns over doing this for all requirements including architecture requirements, etc. Currently, this was only related to SA WG1. LG Electronics welcomed this proposal which can be very useful, but could foresee problems if this goes beyond SA WG1 as suggested in clause 4, and also into other groups and bodies' specifications. The SA WG1 Chairman commented that within SA WG1 they should be consistent in all their specifications starting at Rel-18, so to enumerate all requirements and not only a subset of them. Qualcomm commented that currently requirements are not enumerated in 21.801 drafting rules and without a change to these this mechanism cannot be fully enabled. Samsung commented that this has been done already for Mission Critical requirements and this could be used as a basis on how to maintain the enumeration with added and removed requirements, without a need to update the drafting rules. Qualcomm asked whether there was any guidance in the drafting rules to ensure that removed lines are marked 'Void' rather than deleting the whole requirement to preserve enumeration. This should be further discussed over e-mail.
CC#3: Latest proposal was SP-200819_rev01. The TSG SA Chairman asked whether we can review and approve the related CR packs. Qualcomm commented that they could not agree to the CRs at this time and suggested further discussion. Deutsche Telekom commented that the CRs are only editorial categories (D) and suggested this is further discussed to have a method for handling such changes in the future. Vodafone agreed that this should be taken as a general procedural discussion on whether and how such changes should be allowed to frozen Releases. Siemens accepted that further discussion was required but these should not be rejected based on their category and only some of the CRs can be discarded. TSG SA Chairman will start a moderated TSG SA e-mail discussion on the enumeration issue until the next TSG SA meeting. This was then noted.
e-mail discussion:
LG Electronics indicates the facts that it is beneficial to have requirements enumerated in some specifications, if not all, and that the idea of enumeration can be made 'Recommended Practice' within a WG, which means that if enumeration of some requirements of a certain TR or TS is considered needed, it can be done in that particular WG but it does not have to be enforced. Generalization of this idea of enumeration may require careful consideration and examination as maintenance of them, if happens, is a different story requiring different dimension of complexity compared to the benefit it seems to bring in. No discussion for 21.801 is necessary. LG Electronics proposes the following sentence to be added to the revision of SP-200819 for endorsement.
The enumeration of requirements of a TR⁄TS is recommended on a need basis but is not necessarily required for all TR⁄TS's. The requirement numbers go with the TR⁄TS version, which mean they might be different in a different version of the TR⁄TS, i.e., changed, deleted, or replaced along with how an existing requirement is destined to be in the next version of TR⁄TS during the casual course of work, including changes by technical (p)CRs and⁄or maintenance CRs.
Adrian (vivo) asks LG what do they mean 'on a need basis?'
In response to NCSC's comment, LG provides the following:
The enumeration of requirements of a TR⁄TS is recommended on a need basis but is not necessarily required for all TR⁄TS's. The requirement numbers go with the TR⁄TS version, and are recommended not to change drastically in order to keep the ease of reference unless there are relevant reasons (e.g., deletion, merge, relocation, etc.) which mean they might be different in a different version of the TR⁄TS, i.e., changed, deleted, or replaced along with how an existing requirement is destined to be in the next version of TR⁄TS during the casual course of work, including changes by technical (p)CRs and⁄or maintenance CRs.
Haris (Qualcomm) would like to see first a CR to TR 21.801 before agreeing on this idea of enumerating SA1 requirements endorsed officially. Recommends to have some email discussion e.g. moderated by someone, that will discuss all aspects mentioned below and we can come to some smooth discussion in SA#90e.
Tony (Futurewei) would like to support the enumeration of the requirements in stage-1 specifications with the understanding that procedures for doing so will be captured⁄specified officially.
Ki-Dong (LGE) raises comments on what Puneet (SA2 Chairman) responded to Adrian(Vivo) to clarify that we do not need both mappings (e.g., b⁄w CPR and PR, CPR and UC) but one mapping table between CPRs and PRs is enough for traceability purposes as long as PRs come with clause numbers.
Puneet (SA2 Chairman) responds to Adrian(Vivo).
Adrian (vivo) support the enumeration of the requirements in stage-1 specifications and asks Puneet a question for clarification.
Puneet (SA2 Chairman) support the enumeration of the requirements in stage-1 specifications. Proposes further enhancements.
Ericsson wants to point out that it should not be any tracking process between SA1 TRs and TSs. The reason is that potential requirements are just potential and important that there is a freedom to change requirements in normative work, even beyond recognition. As we work consensus based that should be the principle.
Siemens agrees with Ericson that there should not be any tracking process between SA1 TRs and TSs and points out that SP-200819 does not stipulate such process.
Siemens also thinks that a change to a 21 document, for instance TR 21.801, is needed before requirement enumeration in Stage-1 specifications can become officially endorsed by SA. Siemens also agrees with Qualcomm that a pertinent CR should be discussed on the email reflector before presenting it at SA#90-e.
Johannes (Deutsche Telekom) does see a heavy overcomplication of introducing the need for requirements numbering and objects to endorsing a guidance before this is discussed in more details, potentially ending up in a CR to the drafting rules in TR 21.801.
Siemens uploaded SP-200819rev01 to the Revisions folder. Changes made: added Daimler and Sennheiser as source; included a sentence in clause 3.1, stating that the requirements in technical specifications do not track potential and consolidated potential requirements in technical reports.
Huawei support to develop a mechanism to better trace the requirements in stage-1. This is beneficial not only for verticals but also for coordination between SA1 and other WGs. We would also like to see a CR capturing the details in 21.801 and we can have an offline email discussion on it, and target to provide the concrete mechanism in next plenary. Whether we implement it to all the specifications in SA1 can also be discussed once the mechanism is clear.
ZTE prefers to stick to existing drafting rule and does not support the enumerating of requirement.
Philips responds to ZTE and DT.
Jinguo response to Philips and is fine if the enumerating requirement is only applied to SA1.
Johannes (Duetsche Telekom) asks for clarification on the proposal from SA1 chair: currently we have SA1 CRs submitted to this plenary even for Rel16 specs to implement the enumeration of requirements before we have concluded on a way forward. Do we postpone these CRs for a treatment in SA#90-e?

Discussion and conclusion:
CC#1: Qualcomm presented these slides which propose finalisation of the Rel-17 schedule, taking into account the current electronic meeting environment and expected slower progress of the normative work in electronic meetings. This proposed to extend the Rel-17 schedule at this TSG SA meeting (+6 months). This was then noted.
CC#2: The latest proposed text from e-mail was reviewed. Huawei commented that there could be objections to a WID produced for item 2) which should not automatically result in the removal of the WID from Rel 17. ZTE asked for clarifications on item 3). CATT commented that there was no advantage to generating exception sheets for SIDs and asked to add that coordination with RAN work can be done in the normative phase. Nokia commented that item 3) was unnecessary as we never had exceptions for Study items in the past. It was clarified that the Work Items will be produced as a result of the Study Item conclusions. Vivo asked to clarify item 3) to indicate which items exceptions can be provided for. Orange commented that it should be clarified that SA WG2 should only include already prioritised Rel 17 work items in item 1). Orange also commented that as this is the second time Rel 17 is being considered for extension, it should be stated that this will not happen again. The TSG SA Chairman replied that if we take into account all possible misinterpretations of the bullets, it would need a lot of time to draft the guidelines and the spirit of the text should be taken into account. The SA WG6 Charman asked to add some actions to clarify which parts apply to SA WG2 and which apply to SA WG6. This should be further discussed over the e-mail.

TD SP-200657 (CR) 21.900 CR0064 (Rel-16, 'C'): CR to TR 21.900 on Relaxation of mini-WID requirement for Cat.B⁄C TEI CRs. (Source:NEC on behalf of TSG RAN).
Document for: Approval.
Abstract: TSG RAN endorsed (during the RAN#88e plenary) a draft CR to TR 21.900 in RP-200720 on Relaxation of mini-WID requirement for Cat.B⁄C CRs with the intention to submit the formal CR to SA#89e. It is also planned that RAN#89e plenary approves an accompanying LS to SA with explanation, but to comply with the SA Tdoc deadline and acquire a CR number, this Tdoc number is requested in advance. Summary of change: Restricts the requirement to provide a WID for Cat. B⁄C TEI CRs in such a way that it applies only to TSGs that have not agreed on an alternative process.
Comment:
Same as draft CR proposed by TSG RAN in SP-200868. CC#4: Postponed.
Discussion and conclusion:
CC#4: Deutsche Telekom commented that the CR introducing the TEI rules was introduced first in TSG SA#82, again in TSG SA#83 and TSG RAN should have been fully aware of this well before it was finally approved by TSG SA. This was postponed.

Xiaobao (Orange ) asks for the clarification of 'an alternative process' and questions if the propose change should be applied to the description of TEI.
Hans (NEC) responded to the SA Chairman's point on desirability of common procedures between the TSGs, agreeing in principle, but indicating that this also requires a consensus across the TSGs in advance of introducing such procedures and that the mini-WID procedure had been introduced before such consensus could be achieved.

TD SP-200868 (LS IN) LS from TSG RAN: LS on Relaxation of mini-WID requirement for Cat.B⁄C TEI CRs. (Source:TSG RAN (RP-202001)).
Document for: Action.
Abstract: At TSG SA#83 plenary, TSG SA approved SP-190270 (CR 0057 to TR 21.900). This CR introduced a number of major changes in the way in which TEI is handled. Although TSG RAN and the RAN WGs appreciate the tighter handling of TEI in general that resulted from TSG SA's decision, one of the changes introduced by SP-190270, namely the strict requirement on creating mini-Work Items for Cat. B⁄C TEI CRs, does not align with the way in which TSG RAN and RAN WGs have decided to handle such TEI CRs. As a result, TSG RAN and RAN WGs have in practice not been following the newly introduced text in TR 21.900 with regard to Cat.B⁄C TEI CRs, and have no intention of using the mini-WIDs in future either. TSG RAN finally endorsed a draft CR to TR 21.900 in RP-201291 on this topic at RAN#88 plenary. This change aims at keeping the strict requirement for TSG SA and TSG CT, while at the same time allowing TSG RAN to follow TR 21.900 also. TSG RAN thanks TSG SA for its understanding in this matter and requests TSG SA to approve the attached CR. Action: TSG RAN requests TSG SA to approve the attached CR.
Comment:
Attached CR is the same change as in SP-200657. CC#4: This LS was postponed.
Discussion and conclusion:
CC#4: This LS was postponed.

Ki-Dong (LG Electronics) provides the following comments on 22119_CR0004r1 (of SP-200786):
(1) CR0003r1 has minor leftovers cause by the first round of revision, to correct: In the main text, some references are no longer existent, i.e., [36], [37].
(2) FYI - the 2nd requirement of clause 7.1.2 was agreed to be removed by anther CR (maintenance CR, 22119_CR0003r1, LGE). This collision doesn't seem to be a problem at all as long as the maintenance can override the other.

TD SP-200850 (DISCUSSION) A Feature is like a worm: don't cut it. (Source:3GPP Work Plan Coordinator).
Document for: Agreement.
Abstract: Presentation of the problem: At TSG#89e, several WIDs are proposed for Release 17 for some essential aspects of a Feature when other essential aspects of the same Feature have been defined in an earlier Release. This paper is to remind that this is not a suitable approach.
Comment:
CC#3: Postponed.
Discussion and conclusion:
CC#2: The message of this was 'keep all WIDs for a feature in the same Release'. The TSG SA Chairman raised concerns that there may be cases where stage 2 is completed but stage 3 is then not ready and the whole Feature moves to the next Release, which would be counter-productive. The current process protects from unintentional splitting of work in the Work Plan. The Work Plan manager clarified that normal practice has been to keep all parts of feature in the same Release and they have not been split before. The SA WG6 Chairman suggested also tying this discussion with how Release Summaries are done for Features. CMCC agreed with the spirit of this paper and suggested that each non-conformance issue is determined on a case by case basis. The SA WG1 Chairman commented that the normal procedure is to trim the SA WG1 requirements to reflect the final content of the Release. The TSG SA Chairman commented that extracting Features at the stage 2 level is more complicated. The SA WG3 Chairman reported a case for ACMA where a Stage 2 change had needed Stage 3 work which had not been done in Rel-16. The TSG SA Chairman commented that is such a shift of a Feature from a Release is being considered, then this needs to be brought to the attention of all relevant groups and not done purely by MCC. This should be further discussed over e-mail.
CC#3: The latest revision SP-200850_Rev2 was presented. The SA WG6 Chairman commented that these proposals should be taken into account as far as possible with respect to determining when a feature is fully complete and there are no missing components which may be discovered later. This should be handled using the current rules of decision by company input contributions and consensus. Telefonica commented that this would need further consideration and that there are places where the wording can be significantly clarified. The TSG CT Chairman commented that this has resulted in a better understanding of the 3GPP procedures and could benefit from further clarification. This was then postponed.
e-mail discussion:
SA Chair disagrees with the paper, as it holds implications which might work negatively in progressing the work of 3GPP. The proposal from the SA Chair is to investigate features, which are only partially complete, on a case-by-case basis. This can be done as only very few such features appear in the end of the release.
Johannes (Deutsche Telekom) raises the point that SA1 is performing in each release a clean-up of requirements, which did not conclude in stage2 and stage3, e.g. just refer to documents SP-200785 (REAR), SP-200788 (UIA) and SP-200787 (5GSAT). DT concurs with the assessment of the conclusion in SP-200850 to have a full operational system per Release. So the general aim of 3GPP should be to have self-contained releases with functionable features. Exception sheets are sommonly used to conclude past the freeze date.
MCC clarifies that SP-200850 is not meant to open a debate but to remind delegates of a 3GPP basic principle: see 3GPP Working Procedures TR 21.900 sections 4.0B and 4. The principle of not cutting a Feature onto different Releases has been emphasized on several occasions, e.g. in SP-120387 (co-signed by the former SA1 and SA chairs), and it is the usual way of working in SA1, where the (elements of the) Stage 1 of the Features not completed in time for a given Release are removed from the documentation of this Release (see SP-200785, SP-200788 or SP-200789 just for TSG#89e), while retained in the documentation of the next Release.
Whatever the approach, it has to be consistent across all 3GPP WGs and TSGs. If this approach is not valid anymore, the Work Procedures should be amended.
Telefonica strongly disagrees with this paper. It goes against the independency of the work already developed in previous stages and it gives higher decision powers to the working groups (and therefore the companies) working on later stages
The SA5 chair supports the objection (on the contribution's original contents) and comments from the SA chair and SA3-LI chair.
Orange stated the Workplan and the Release roadmap is based on the principle that stage 1, stage 2 and stage 3 for a given feature are completed at the release date freeze. We can agree decide to allow exception to complete the work but it also assumed that features will be shift to the next release if not possible to complete in a given time. As long as 3GPP will rely on the notion of 'Release', the principles given in SP-200850 should be used as guidance, even if it is always possible to agree on a specific handling for a given feature.
The SA2 chair supports the objections and disagrees with the conclusions of the paper.
SA6 Chair (Suresh) agrees with points made by Georg (SA Chair) and Lionel (CT Chair), but prefers to defer any guidance to SA#90-e and continue this discussion offline with interested parties.
Telefonica still disagrees with v1 since it does not solve the issues pointed out by our previous comment
Upon providing SP-200850rev2, the MCC Work Plan manager (Alain) clarified that this document is not meant to modify anything in the 3GPP Working Procedures. On the contrary: it is meant to remind to all delegates the current, long-standing, 3GPP principles and check how they can be followed even better than now.
This document can be further improved, as e.g. to include the CT Chair's comments.

CC#4: SP-200823_Rev2 was provided to take comments into account. Noted.
Discussion and conclusion:
CC#4: SP-200823_Rev1 was presented by the MCC Work Plan Manager. General: E-FLUS is 100% complete. Slide 10: Not all normative WIDs need to be produced, by December, but only SA WG2 WIDs. Slide 3-4: AT&T asked to also show TSG SA and TSG CT represented in the time-line as this could give the impression outside 3GPP that only RAN are concerned with the time schedule. The MCC Work Plan manager was asked to show this as an overall 3GPP schedule for clarity both inside and outside 3GPP. SP-200823_Rev2 was provided to take comments into account. The MCC Work Plan Manager was thanked for this presentation, which was noted.
