Title:	Report of SWG6#1 (Terminal Features and Performance)

Document for:	Approval

___________________________________________________________________________

Summary

1.	Environmental and reliability requirements

-	SWG6 proposes that the temperature, humidity, voltage, and vibration stability should be treated by RAN-WG4. Actually they have been started discussing and there is a relevant document(Tdoc T2-99139) in RAN-WG4. 
-	It is recognised that shock stability and reliability should be deleted from our ToR, because they are implementation or manufactures issues and should be out of the standardisation scope.

Document delivery
-	SWG6 would not create any report concerning the environmental and reliability requirements.

If it will be accepted by TSG-T, 13th and 15th page of “TSG-T work program” (Tdoc T2-99144) should be deleted.

2.	SAR requirements

-	The issues would be divided to regulations and measurement methods for each region.
-	The information for each region should be gathered on the report of T2-SWG6.
-	Mr Kohata (Matsushita) who is an expert for SAR will take care to harmonise the IMT-2000 compliance of human exposure in standard bodies, i.e. IEC, IEEE, and ARIB. Other companies are required to inform their relevant experts on the 3GPP work.

Document delivery
-	Rapporteur ; Mr JOHNSSON (ERICSSON) 
-	Target date of first complete draft ; 10/04/1999
-	Target date for WG approval ; 21/04/1999
-	If it will be accepted by TSG-T, 14th page of “TSG-T work program” (Tdoc T2-99144) should be revised.

3.	Electrical safety requirements

-	T2-SWG6 should make a report to gather requirements for each region, but most contents of them are very similar. So it might be possible for us to find a unified 3GPP requiremnet.

Document delivery
-	This should be separated from the report of SAR requirements. 
-	Rapporteur ; Mr Iimori (Toshiba)
-	Target date of first complete draft ; 20/04/1999
-	Target date for WG approval ; 14/06/1999
-	Target date for TB approval ; 17/06/1999

If our proposal will be accepted by TSG-T, another page for the report of electrical safety requirements would be added to “TSG-T work program” (Tdoc T2-99144).

4.	General features

-	The liaison statement (Tdoc T2-99282) to clarify the basic general principles, the priority for the first step and the terminologies for terminal capabilities is proposed to send to the appropriate WGs.
-	“TS xx.xx V0.0.1” (Tdoc T2-99277) was agreed as a base document for the creation of its frame. The information identified as mandatory or optional feature by TSG-S1 and other appropriate WGs could be added to.
-	It was agreed that more liaison statements to explain our principles, our status and requirements for proceeding other WGs activities would be sent.

Document delivery
-	Rapporteur ; appropriate person (NEC)
-	Target date of first complete draft ; 21/05/1999
-	Target date for WG approval ; 14/06/1999
-	Target date for TB approval ; 17/06/1999

If our proposal will be accepted by TSG-T, 16th page of “TSG-T work program” (Tdoc T2-99144) should be revised.

Presentations and Discussions

1.	ToR

1.1. Tdoc T2-99047
It is the ToR for SWG6 and was showed by the chairman. 

1.2. Tdoc T2-99107
The last T2#2 meeting report was explained by the chairman. In Annex C, there are the briefs of ToR and time schedule for each SWG. In section 2.8, there are more details of ToR for SWG6.

2.	Environmental and reliability requirements

2.1. Tdoc T2-99138
It proposes that temperature, voltage and vibration requirements shall be treated in RAN-WG4, because these requirements are closely related to radio performance. Also reliability requirements were proposed to be deleted from SWG6 ToR. It shows that other items, such as humidity and shock stability, can be deleted.

Comments;
-	Reliability requirements and other items are the implementation issues to be solved by manufactures for each region.
-	There is no requirements for shock stability in the current ETSI standards.

2.2. Tdoc T2-99139
It is information from S4.01A discussed in TSG-RAN WG4. It includes are environmental requirements, i.e. temperature, voltage, vibration.

Comments;
-  The background of this document is the consideration for the multi-mode terminals and compatibility of 2G/3G.

2.3. Conclusion
-	Tdoc T2-99138 was agreed, and no document concerning environmental and reliability requirements will be created by T2-SWG6.
-	It is recognised that RAN-WG4 is the most appropriate WG to handle the environmental requirements, i.e. temperature, voltage, vibration.
-	The relevant descriptions should be deleted from ToR (Tdoc T2-99047) and Work Plan (Tdoc T2-99144).

3.	SAR requirements

3.1. Tdoc T2-99279
It explains the local exposure limits and SAR measurement standardising situation for compliance. These are defined for each region, so it proposes that 3GPP will send a liaison statement to relevant standard bodies, i.e. IEC, IEEE, CENELEC, and ARIB, formally to harmonise their activities. Also it indicates that some frequency band which will be used in IMT-2000 is out of their target currently.

Comments:
-	Exposure limitation and measurement method should be considered separately. The former one is defined by each government regulation for each region, so it is impossible for SWG6 to handle or unify it. But the current measurement methods for each region are very similar. There are possibilities that it will be defined uniquely for world wide.
-	SAR should be treated separately from “Safety requirement” to achieve a clearer document structure.

3.2.	Tdoc T2-99276
It provides the information on US safety and EMC requirements. The government regulations are defined by IEEE and ANSI just endorses the IEEE requirements.

3.3.	Tdoc T2-99136 
This proposes the draft contents for the report of safety requirements. We should create it including the summary of the current regional requirements, comparison of them, and future prospective work.

3.4.	Tdoc T2-99137
It state the way to handle the issue for EMC.

Comments:
-	EMC issue should be handled by TSG-T1 and TSG-RAN-WG4, so it could be inputted to them.

3.5.	Tdoc T2-99281
During this meeting, it was created as a liaison statement to other appropriate standard bodies, i.e. IEEE SCC34 SC2, IEC TC WG15, ARIB and CENELEC TC211.

Comments:
-	After creation of the report on SAR, we should consider if we need to send liaison statements.
-	We need to investigate and gather the current information concerning SAR from each region.
-	The destination of it should be identified completely for the approval of TSG-PCG.

3.6.	Conclusion
-	SWG6 proposes that the report on SAR will be created independently. If it will be approved by TSG-T, Tdoc T2-99144 should be revised.
-	Mr JOHNSSON was appointed as a rapporteur of the report, and the target date of first complete draft was decided to be 10/04/1999.
-	Tdoc T2-99136 was agreed for the table contents on the report of SAR requirements.
-	It was agreed that the liaison statement (Tdoc T2-99282) would be postponed to send. It was agreed that each company should do their actual activities in relevant organization.

4.	Electrical safety requirements

4.1.	Tdoc T2-99138
It shows that ARIB proposes the “electrical safety” and the “safety of radio” requirements shall be based on a selected parts of IEC950 and IEC215 which are international standard.

Comments:
-	ARIB should identity the version of IEC950, because there are some differences among them. ETSI also reefers to IEC950.
-	As SAR will be treated as independent issue of safety requirements, only electrical safety requirements should be handled as safety requirement.

4.2.	Conclusion
-	It was agreed that the report on electrical safety requirements would be created by.
-	Mr Iimori was appointed as a rapporteur of this report, and the target date of first complete draft was decided to be 20/04/1999 because it will take longer time to gather each regional requirements.

5.	General features

5.1. Tdoc T2-99143
It is the meeting report from the Ad hoc meeting on terminal capabilities held during the last T#2 meeting. It clarifies the process between all the TSGs for handling this work and their responsibilities. It is required that S1 is responsible for all service definition, T2 is responsible for having an overview of terminal capabilities and reviewing the proposals from other groups, S1 and other groups are responsible for taking the initiative to enhance the services and capabilities by updating specifications under their control. T2 will make the final recommendations for the documents which will be delivered from TSG-SA and other WGs.

5.2. Tdoc T2-99142
On this paper, there are definitions for the terminology on terminal capabilities. Also it explains the procedure, the responsibilities of TSG-T2 and other WGs, and proposed schedule.

Comments:
-	The negotiation mechanism should be included to baseline capabilities.
-	SWG6 need to make a document where the definitions for terminal capabilities are identified more clearly.

5.3. Tdoc T2-99278
It is a liaison statement sent to all WGs by the TSG-T chairman. Tdoc T2-99142 and Tdoc T2-99143 were attached. It requests that all 3GPP Working Groups to provide an input to the Chairman and Vice-Chairmen of TSG-T by the 15th of April. It also makes some suggestions for things to consider when discussing whether a terminal capability should be made mandatory or optional.

Comments:
-	We need to use the term “Terminal” instead of “UE” to avoid confusion.
-	The term of “Terminal” could encompass the combination of both UE and USIM. UE has been chosen as an appropriate word to be used by TSG-RAN.

5.4. Tdoc T2-99275
It is the inputted document to TSG-RAN1.It describes requirements and principles for the definition of the terminal capabilities.

Conclusion:
-	It was agreed that SWG6 should prepare to make clear the princiles of the terminal capabilities from terminal perspective.

5.2.	Tdoc T2-99277
This document defines the requirements for the sub-set of options that are mandatory in all 3GPP terminals to allow world-wide roaming of terminals. These requirements are referred to as terminal baseline capability requirements on it. The term of “service-less terminal” is introduced instead of “no-service terminal” defined on Tdoc T2-99142, because “no-service terminal” means 

Comments:
-	In the scope section, the word of “registration” should be changed to “connection establishment”.
-	Negotiation mechanism should be added to baseline capabilities.
-	We should create a document for the definitions of terminology first of all.
-	The definition on Tdoc T2-99142 should be added.
-	Service capabilities should be added.

5.3.	Tdoc T2-99280
It proposes that SWG6 will define the categories for terminal types which will be used as a basis for the discussion of terminal capabilities in other relevant WGs. Also it explains that terminal should be categorised into several classes from the radio interfaces and services perspective.

5.4.	Conclusion
-	It was recognised that there was the need to make liaison statement for the clarification of the terminology and the principles on terminal capabilities. Tdoc T2-99142 and T2-99280 were agreed as base documents.
-	Tdoc T2-99277 was agreed as a base document for the report on terminal capabilities. The new terminology defined on Tdoc T2-99282 would be introduced. Also the concept of service capabilities should be added from the services perspective.
-	Tdoc T2-99280 was agreed as a document for consideration to be used for Terminal type or service type. 
-	The appropriate person from NEC was appointed as a rapporteur of the report on terminal capabilities, and the target date of first complete draft was decided to be 21/05/1999.

6.	Output

6.1. Tdoc T2-99282
It is a liaison statement to identify the principles for the work with terminal capabilities. It shows that the aim of this work is to minimise the mandatory baseline capabilities. Also on this document, there are definitions for the terminology on terminal capabilities. 

Conclusion:
-	It was agreed.
-	It is required to send this LS to all WGs.

6.2. Tdoc T2-99284
It is a new ToR for SWG6. The followings are changed from Tdoc T2-99047.
-	SAR requirements are treated separately from safety requirements.
-	Electrical safety requirements are identified instead of safety requirements.
-	Environmental and reliability requirements are deleted.

Conclusion;
It was agreed.
