The objective of this study is to enhance the common 5G core network defined in TS 23.501 [2] and TS 23.502 [3] in order to support wireline access networks and Trusted N3GPP. The key areas of the investigation are: - Support of wireline access networks: - Definition of the 5G Core network (5GC) with respect to wireline access functional split; - Investigation on whether enhancements are needed to interfaces (e.g. N1, N2 and N3) used to connect wireline customer devices (CPE/Residential Gateway) and wireline access network to the converged 5GC; - Study the impact of the common framework for authentication and security, policy and QoS, Network Slicing and investigation on whether enhancements are needed; NOTE 1: The area of investigation for authentication and security will be limited to the part relevant to SA WG2 scope and responsibility. - Study on how to support CPE/Residential Gateway (RG) capable of connecting via wireline and/or wireless access to the 5G CN; - Study on how to support end user devices, with or without UICC, connected to the convergent 5GC from behind a CPE/RG; - Identification of the impacts on mobility, session management and interaction with Access Traffic Steering, Switching and Splitting for UEs accessing the 5G convergent network studied in TR 23.793 [4] and investigation on whether enhancements are needed; - Study on how to support CPE/RG capable of connecting simultaneously via both NG RAN and wireline access to 5GC. NOTE 2: The above scenario is referred as Hybrid Access in Broadband Forum (BBF TR-348 [5]). - Definition of architecture for the Trusted N3GPP scenario applicable not only to wireline accesses. - Support of Trusted access networks: - Requirements for the Trusted Non-3GPP access in 5G system; - Architecture definition for the Trusted Non-3GPP access in 5G System; - Investigation on whether enhancements are needed to interfaces (e.g. N1, N2 and N3) used to connect the trusted non-3GPP access network to converged 5GC; - study the impact of the common framework for authentication and security, policy and QoS, Network Slicing and investigation on whether enhancements are needed. NOTE 3: The study will consider whether "Trusted" terminology or a different terminology would be more suitable for representing the scenario where there is a more tight relationship compared to Untrusted case between the WLAN Access Network and the 5GC. This study will follow the high level principles, agreements, and conclusions of the normative work agreed in TS 22.261 [7], TS 23.501 [1] and TS 23.502 [2]. The study will take into account information provided by the BBF on wireless and wireline convergence.

This technical report studies and evaluates architecture enhancements to address the following objectives: Objective I: Enable CIoT/MTC functionalities in 5G CN. 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.

The objective of this Technical Report is to study enhancements of 5GS architecture that has been defined in Rel-15 about the topology of SMF and UPF, and: 1. investigate mechanisms to enable the 3GPP system to support deployments where a SMF is not able / allowed to control UPF(s) throughout the same PLMN. 2. Study whether it is needed to enhance the capability of 5GS architecture for a UPF to be controlled by multiple SMF's (and many UPF's to be controlled by many SMFs) and, if yes, define such enhancements. For these objectives, use cases will be defined.

TR
0.2.0
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.

The objective of this Technical Report is to investigate scenarios for co-existence of subscription data pertaining to legacy system (EPS) with data pertaining to the 5G system, when the HSS+UDM defined in Rel-15 is separated and both UDM and HSS are independent, and will propose solutions to support this deployment where necessary. NOTE 1: The subscription data referred to by this Technical Report comprises both static as well as dynamic data, including IMS, LCS, SMS data. - study diverse scenarios related to the storage of subscription data including, but not limited to, those of common repository for subscription data from EPS and 5GS, as well as separate repositories for EPS and 5GS subscription data, - investigate the relevant procedures in TS 23.502 [2] (for e.g. authentication, mobility, handover and procedures for IMS and SMS handling in interworking between 5G system and EPS), - determine if there is a need for interaction between the consumers of EPS and 5GS data, in the different interworking cases and deployment scenarios. Existing procedures in TS 23.502 [2] shall not be impacted. Provisioning aspects are outside this study. Direct interactions between the EPS UDR and the 5GS UDR are out of the scope of this TR (i.e. it is assumed that there is no direct interaction between these two repositories).

NOTE 1: Security aspects will be studied in cooperation with SA WG3. - Enhancements to the 5G system to support 5GLAN service. - Enhancements to service exposure via APIs for 3rd party use of functionalities e.g. for information regarding the geographic location of coverage area of non-public network; - Enablers to support new KPIs (e.g. 5QI) to meet service requirements of vertical; - Support for non-public networks: - Support for UEs being registered in non-public network and a PLMN when the UE supports credentials required for non-public network and credentials required for a PLMN and is able to maintain both registrations independently. - Support for roaming, mobility and service continuity between PLMN and non-public networks (e.g. for mobility from non-public networks to PLMN) with direct interaction between non-publicnetworks and PLMN. NOTE 2: While support for stand-alone operation of non-public network and interworking between PLMN and non-public networks is one of the objectives of the study, there is no assumption that either are required in all deployment scenarios. NOTE 3: The objectives are subject to alignment with the corresponding normative work of TS 22.261 [2] and TS 22.104 [13] that is still ongoing in SA WG1.

The present document studies and evaluates possible enhancements of Public Warning System(ePWS) to address the following objectives: - to develop stage 2 specifications to support stage 1 requirements on ePWS as follows 1) Specify how to support the language-independent contents (e.g. non-text based icon or image mapping to a disaster). In detail, this is to specify how to map the disaster by using symbols or images so that users can recognize the disaster in their screens. (It is a useful scenario for foreigners who do not know languages.) 2) Specify how to support UEs with no user interface or UEs with a user interface that is incapable of displaying text based warning notification. In detail, there is a specific requirement on UEs with no user interface or UEs with a user interface that can not display a text based warning notification. UEs with no user interface can be IoT device and it was intended that the device performs some dedicated actions when the warning notification is received. 3) Specify how to support relay functionality for providing warning notification. - to develop stage 3 specifications to support stage 1 requirements on ePWS. No new functionality for US WEA and Japan ETWS will be introduced.

The objective of this Technical Report is to study the solutions and potential enhancements needed for systems using EPS to enable data services (UE to Data Network, and, UE to UE via Data Network) with one or more the following requirements: 1. Availability greater than that of a single pre-Release 16, EPC based 3GPP system with a traditional arrangement of base stations, power supplies, transmission links and core network entities. 2. Providing reliable (e.g. better than 1*10-9 undetected bit error rate) 3GPP data services with low latency (e.g. less than 15 ms between UE and application server). Editor's note: exact requirements are still under development in SA WG1. 3. Providing prompt, deterministic recovery mechanisms following periods where the required connectivity quality of the EPS bearer was not achieved. 4. Investigating the end to end provision of 3GPP data services with low jitter, e.g. less than 100µs between UE and Data Network. Editor's note: Exact requirements are still under development in SA WG1.

Study on enhancement of EPC for low latency communication including device mobility

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.
