Title:	Review Work Program DTR/TSGT-02TFPG_U  

Document for:	Discussion

___________________________________________________________________________

In the current Work Program DTR/TSGT-02TFPG_U ; Terminal features and performance (General features)　(see ANNEX),  the scope of the report to be produced is not clear, eg it is not clear
-	whether this report will cover entire R99 or not
-	whether SWG6 intends to update the report continuously in future or not.

Meantime a question was (will be) raised by T1
-	if T2 SWG6 intends to maintain the report after R99
-	if collecting information by T2 SWG6 about Baseline Implementation Capability (BIP) and Terminal Service Implementation Capability (TSIC) from other working groups is an efficient way or not.   
Possible arguments are as follows.
-	To rely on LS to collect information from other WGs may not be the most efficient way as their TSs keep changing.    It takes time and the information sent to SWG6 may not be updated in time 
-	Each TS could include BIP and TSIC in its ANNEX.  TS25.101 (UE Radio transmission and Reception (FDD)) includes BIP and TSIC (although it is still called Service Implementation Capabilities in v.2.2.0) in ANNEX already.
-	T1 relies on BIP and TSIC information in TR21.904 (Terminal Capability Requirements) to produce TS34.123-2 (Mobile Station conformance specification; Part2: Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS) proforma specification).  T1 needs to maintain and update the information in TS34.123-2 even after R99.

T2 SWG6 needs to decide what to do with this work program.  One suggestion is given as follows for discussion.   
<Objectives>
-	Final goal of T2 SWG6 is to identify the implementation requirements for the sub-set of options (referred to as baseline capabilities) that are required in 3GPP terminals to allow world-wide roaming of terminals within all 3GPP networks. It is also to identify the implementation requirements for specific Terminal Service Capabilities, in order to help ensure end to end interworking for terminals claiming to support compatible services.  The specific Terminal Implementation Capabilities encompass all sorts of 3G services which are in the technical domain of 3GPP.
-	The output from T2 SWG6 will help T1 to identify requirements upon which minimum conformance tests can be based on.

<The way forward>
-	T2 SWG6 continues to be driving force to achieve the final goal above.
-	T2 SWG6 issues TR21.904 v.3.0.0 based on R99.  If some modifications will be added on R99 core specifications, we will need to update TR21.904 ?
-	T2 SWG6 continues to update it to v.4.0.0 based on R00 and so on. 
-	T2 SWG6 explores the possibility that each WG includes BIC and TSIC in its TS to SWG6’s satisfaction.   Once SWG6 finds this scheme works satisfactorily, SWG6 may decide not to update the report any further.
e.g.   T2 SWG6 asks all other WGs to include BIP and TSIC in core specifications to avoid inconsistencies between TR21.904 and core specifications.  It might be sufficient that TR21.904 would refer to appropriate sections or annexes of core specifications.
