Study on Communication for Automation in Vertical domains (CAV)
TR
16.3.0
S1
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/22_series/22.804/22804-g30.zip
The present document focuses on 5G communication for automation in vertical domains. This is communication that is involved in the production of and working on work pieces and goods, and/or the delivery of services in the physical world. Such communication often necessitates low latency, high reliability, and high communication service availability. Nevertheless, other types of communication are also possible in this area. Moreover, communications with low latency, high reliability, and high communication service availability, and other, not so demanding communication services, may run in parallel on the same 5G infrastructure. The present document identifies stage 1 potential requirements for 5G communication for automation in vertical domains. The potential requirements are derived from different sources: - existing work on dependable communication as used in vertical domains; see, for instance, IEC 61907 [2]; - use cases describing network operation in vertical domains with, for instance, common usage of the network (multi-tenancy) and network monitoring for assurance of service level agreements; - security mechanisms already used in vertical domains; supporting the specific security requirements of vertical domains; - new (additional to already existing stage-1 work), representative use cases in different vertical domains based on input from relevant vertical interest organisations and other stakeholders. Furthermore, the present document provides an overview of relevant communication concepts for automation in vertical domains from the point of view of 5G systems. This overview is provided in order to facilitate the mapping between communication for automation in vertical domains and communication in 5G systems.

https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/22_series/22.872/22872-g10.zip
This technical report relates to a study on positioning use cases for both outdoor and indoor environments. It analyses positioning use cases and complements existing work on 5G use cases involving positioning needs in order to identify potential requirements for 5G positioning services. This document also identifies new use cases, their scope and environment of use along with the related KPIs. For use cases already addressed (fully or partially) in other 3GPP studies, it consolidates and validates the KPI and assumptions. The document further develops the identified use cases by providing some considerations on the suitability of positioning technologies to these use cases. These considerations support the identification of potential requirements that can be achieved with 3GPP positioning technologies or with a combination of 3GPP and non-3GPP positioning technologies. The use cases and performance targets are independent of specific solutions even though, in order to support these considerations, the report provides some illustrative allocation between existing positioning technologies and 3GPP new positioning technologies (e.g. NR-based).

The objective is to study how to support identified CioT/MTC functionalities in 5G CN with potential connectivity to WB-EUTRA (eMTC) and/or NB-IoT for 5GS capable devices. The following CIoT/MTC functionalities need to be evaluated and studied how to enable them in 5G CN, if needed: - Equivalent overall functionalities as provided by SCEF for CIoT/MTC. - Monitoring. - Small data transmission (infrequent and frequent small data transmission including frequent small data transmission from tracking devices). - Additional power saving functions unless those are supported for 5G system in Rel-15. - Non-IP Data Delivery. - Overload control (as relevant in 5G CN). - Support of Coverage enhancement including adaptations in 5G CN required to support latencies. - Equivalent to Group communication and messaging. - Reliable communication via functionality equivalent to SCEF. - Inter-RAT mobility support to/from NB-IoT. - High latency communication. - Include location services procedures for IoT in 5G location services. NOTE: Attach without PDN connection and non-IP PDN Connection type is already supported in 5G CN (TS 23.501 [5]). Ensure that regulatory requirements can be fulfilled at the same level as in EPC. Objective II: Co-existence and migration from EPC based eMTC/NB-IoT to 5GCN. Study solutions for coexistence and migration from EPC towards 5G CN for eMTC/NB-IoT. This objective will study solutions where the same service is offered to some UEs connected to EPC and some UEs connected to 5G CN e.g. using SCEF and equivalent functionalities in 5GCN. Solutions that assume that 5G CN needs to support EPC NAS signaling for legacy IoT devices access are not considered. Any modifications in the EPC-5GC interworking "baseline" specific to CIOT will also be discussed as part of Objective II. Objective III: 5G System enhancements to address 5G service requirements (based on TS 22.261 [2] and TR 38.913 [3]). To study system architecture enhancements to address related service requirements defined in TS 22.261 [2] and RAN requirements defined in TR 38.913 [3] and how to enable them in 5G CN, if needed. At least the following service requirements have been identified: - Enable the change of association between subscription and address/number of an IoT device within same operator and in between different operators. - Restricted Registration procedure to allow IoT device provisioning. Any system implications for the RAN will be coordinated with RAN WGs. This study is not going to study enhancements to EPC.

S2
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/23_series/23.727/23727-020.zip
The scope is to study the mechanisms to address use cases dealing with policy driven selection of E-UTRA or NR based on certain criteria (e.g. for a given DNN or a QoS flow) associated with user applications by the core network. Scenario 1: The E-UTRA access node and NG-RAN access node are connected to EPC and 5GC respectively. Scenario 2: The E-UTRA access node and NR access node are connected to 5GC in a dual connectivity mode. Potential area of study includes evaluating the mechanism available in 5G system as well as any potential enhancements that may improve the potential shortcomings identified by the study use cases. RAN, while making use of the operator provided policies, is assumed to make final decision regarding handover/redirection/switching as RAN has the responsibility into radio and load conditions which govern the success of such a decision.

Study on enhancement of EPC for low latency communication including device mobility
TR
1.0.0
S2
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/23_series/23.739/23739-100.zip
Low latency user plane radio links are substantially enhanced by 3GPP's NR and E-UTRAN radio technologies in Release 15. Mobility remains one of the key differentiators between 3GPP's technologies and other systems (e.g. systems that use unlicensed radio, or fixed networks). Hence it is important to network operators that mobility is effectively supported for the enhanced, low latency radio features. As the Release 15 RAN enhancements are targeted at around 1 ms one-way radio interface latencies, this TR looks at architectural enhancements and solutions for networks where the transmission latency between the radio base station site and SGi can be around 0.1 ms to 1 ms latency (c.f. 20-200km of speed of light delay in optic fibre). This Technical Report investigates the enhancement of EPC for low latency communication including device mobility, using the CUPS architecture (TS 23.214 [2]) and by identifying solutions based on EPC functionality (TS 23.401 [3]) in the following area: - improvements to enable low latency following UE mobility and, possibly, following the activation of a service requiring low latency. The aim is to retain the single SGW-C per UE concept but utilise SGW-C's "independent SGW-U per PDN connection" concept and expect to base on a "make before break" PDN connection mobility concept (with UE IP address change). To deliver low latency it is anticipated (but not mandated) that most solutions will use a combined S/PGW(-U). Anticipated investigations include: - whether to initiate "make before break" from e.g. MME or PCRF, - the need for e.g. PGW-C to PCRF interface extensions to support "make before break" PDN connection mobility (and if needed to support this, e.g. MME-SGW-PGW interface extensions). Possible intermediate versions of the solutions may be maintained in this Technical Report.

With the increase of the size of UE radio capabilities driven by additional bands supported by RAN specifications and UE support of significantly more band combinations, the size of the UE Radio Capabilities has and will significantly grow from Rel-15 onwards, an efficient approach to signal UE Radio Capability information is therefore needed. This study item shall address two issues: - Optimizations of system procedures pertaining to the transfer UE Radio Capabilities related information to RAN. - Optimizations of system procedures related to transfer UE Radio Capabilities impacting the Core Network. The overall goal is to study mechanisms to reduce the signalling over Uu, CN-RAN, CN-CN and RAN-RAN interfaces as well as the processing load in core and RAN (taking into account how frequently those message transfers and corresponding processing occurs) working in collaboration with RAN WGs for the related RAN interfaces and CT WG4 for the CN interfaces and NFs. At minimum, the study shall consider the UE Radio Capabilities related aspects and any other optimisation which is deemed necessary in collaboration with RAN WGs. The study also considers scenarios where the UE radio capabilities change based on various events triggered in NAS (e.g. when certain services are not supported in one system/access and the UE wants to stay registered in another system/access, the UE may disable the radio capability for accessing the first system). As part of the study and in coordination with other WGs especially RAN WGs it should be concluded whether to proceed with normative work.

The purpose of this document is to study how the 5G System (5GS) can be extended in order to support Access Traffic Steering, Switching and Splitting (ATSSS) between 3GPP and non-3GPP access networks. In particular, this document considers solutions that specify the following: - How the 5GC and the 5G UE can support multi-access traffic steering (as defined in clause 3.1) between 3GPP and non-3GPP accesses. - How the 5G Core network and the 5G UE can support multi-access traffic switching (as defined in clause 3.1) between 3GPP and non-3GPP accesses. This includes the conditions that can trigger the switching of data traffic to a new access type. - How the 5G Core network and the 5G UE can support multi-access traffic splitting (as defined in clause 3.1) between 3GPP and non-3GPP accesses (multi access PDU session). This includes the conditions that can trigger the splitting of data traffic across multiple accesses. - How the multi-access traffic steering, switching and splitting (ATSSS) can be taken into account by the charging framework in order e.g. to enable the network operator to differentiate charging for data traffic that is switched and/or split between 3GPP and non-3GPP accesses. - How the policy framework can be extended in order to support the requirements for ATSSS. - How ATSSS can be supported by using multi-access PDU sessions (as defined in clause 3.1). ATSSS solutions not requiring multi-access PDU sessions can also be considered. - How to handle issues related to ATSSS that may occur when the UE moves between EPC and 5GC. The scope of this document excludes the following aspects: - Changes to the charging framework are not considered. However, it may be considered what information needs to be provided to the charging framework in order to charge traffic that is switched and/or split between 3GPP and non-3GPP accesses. - ATSSS procedures that may be applied in the NG-RAN are not considered. The study is restricted only to ATSSS procedures applied in the 5G core network. - 5GS enhancements to support trusted non-3GPP access networks are not considered. - 5GS enhancements to support wireline access networks are not considered. All solutions in this document should be based on and aligned with the 5GS Phase-1 normative work including work on policy management, as documented in TS 23.501 [5], TS 23.502 [6] and TS 23.503 [7]. The study in this document is organized into two phases: - Initially, the study considers ATSSS solutions that enable traffic selection, switching and splitting between NG-RAN and untrusted non-3GPP access networks. - Subsequently, after the 5GS architecture is enhanced to support trusted non-3GPP access networks, the study will also consider ATSSS solutions that enable traffic selection, switching and splitting between NG-RAN and trusted non-3GPP access networks.

The present document describes a minimum IMS profile of the Gm reference point for SIP core implementation to guide interoperable implementation of MCPTT solutions. In order to support procedures over the SIP-1 reference point defined in 3GPP TS 23.179 [2] and 3GPP TS 24.379 [3], and which exists between the MCPTT UE Signaling User Agent and the SIP core for obtaining access to MCPTT service and supporting MCPTT sessions, the Gm reference point is profiled to meet the minimum requirements to support MCPTT. The Gm reference point contains many options which are not necessarily applicable for support of MCPTT or options which are alternative mechanisms (e.g. P-CSCF discovery) where if the same option is not supported by both the MCPTT UE and the network interoperability cannot be achieved. The present document describes the following: - Where options exist in 3GPP TS 24.229 [4] related to provision of IMS based services over the Gm reference point, those options which need to be supported to ensure interoperable MCPTT service will be identified. - Where options exist in 3GPP TS 24.301 [5] and stage 2 functionality that are needed to provide MCPTT service over IMS, those options which need to be supported to ensure interoperable MCPTT service will be identified. - Where optional features of MCPTT are defined that require additional options on the Gm reference point to be supported, these options will also be identified as recommended to be supported to ensure interoperability of the optional feature. The present document will only cover on-network unicast operation. The present document covers EPC aspects that are required by MCPTT to establish MCPTT sessions.
