The present document describes new use cases and potential requirements applicable to Public Warning Services for - UEs with diverse form-factors whose user interface is different from the conventional mobile phones; and - UEs that are defined by applying 3GPP system to non-ICT industry businesses (e.g. vehicles or machines such as IoT devices or robots) and have the different UE role from what 3GPP has traditionally assumed. In addition, it considers the improvement of the understandability of the PWS message e.g. displaying language independent or graphical content to users, especially foreigners who might not understand the language used in the text or people with physical disability who may be sight impaired and unable to read the text. So it deals with user interface related potential requirements to address the presentation of the warning message considering circumstances such as language being used (e.g. international roaming scenario where the user does not understand the local language) or users with disability (e.g. people with vision impairment). The present document does not cover use cases or potential requirements for US WEA and Japan ETWS so the results of this document are not applicable for US and Japan. This document considers national variants of EU-Alert and KPAS related service scenarios and potential requirements.

The present document studies potential enhancements to the "Isolated E-UTRAN Operation for Public Safety" feature specified in TS 23.401 [2]. Whereas this feature assumes a complete absence of backhaul, the present study considers following cases: - the backhaul is not completely lost but suffers from a limited bandwidth, which does not suffice for normal operation; or - the backhaul is completely lost and a backup link is set up (by means outside the scope of this study) to provide backhaul with a limited bandwidth as above. Under such scenario it is desirable to use the available backhaul for signalling between an E-UTRAN site and other PLMN entities, for local mission critical communications. The present document studies enhancements to realize this in an optimal manner.

3GPP has chosen UML to capture systems behaviour in the IRP IS context. UML provides a rich set of concepts, notations and model elements to model distributive systems. Usage of all UML notations and model elements is not necessary for the purpose of IRP IS specifications. This TS documents the necessary and sufficient set of UML notations and model elements, including the ones built by the UML extension mechanism <<stereotype>>, for use by 3GPP IRP IS authors. Collectively, this set of notations and model elements is called the 3GPP IRP IS modelling repertoire. The selection of the UML notations and model elements in this repertoire is based on the needs of the existing 3GPP IRP IS specifications. Future IRP IS releases may require the use of additional UML notations or model elements. IRP IS specifications shall employ the UML notation and model elements of this repertoire and may also employ other UML notation and model elements considered necessary. However, before any other UML notation and model elements may be employed in an approved 3GPP IRP specification, the other notation and model elements should be agreed for inclusion first in this repertoire.

The present document is the Technical Report for the Work Item on Base Station (BS) radiated Radio Frequency (RF) requirements for Active Antenna System (AAS) [2]. The present document captures the background and the decisions on the specification of radiated RF requirements that are applicable to AAS BS. The AAS BS specification contains requirements for both single RAT UTRA FDD, UTRA TDD and E-UTRA as well as MSR (including single RAT MSR requirements for each of the RATS), it was agreed that it may not be necessary to support so many variants for the OTA AAS BS hence a specification complexity reduction investigation was carried out. It was found the following was not needed for the OTA AAS BS requirements: 1. Radiated requirements applicable for eAAS not support UTRA TDD. 2. Radiated requirements applicable for eAAS not include UTRA pilot requirements. NOTE: In Rel-15, multiple clauses related to the OTA measurements of the BS were shifted to the OTA BS testing TR 37.941 [36], which includes such aspects as e.g., test tolerance and measurement uncertainty derivations, OTA test chambers descriptions, calibration and test procedure descriptions, etc..

Feasibility Study on Control of Applications when Third party Servers encounter difficulties
TR
2.0.0

https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/22_series/22.818/22818-200.zip
With the spread of applications on UEs (also known as "smart phones"), coupled with the rapidly growing number of UEs designed for usage with little or no human involvement (machine type communications), the potential for issues to occur in the overall "system" involving these applications and the third party entities they interact with increases. When these third party entities experience difficulties, they may be able to manage their problems without undue impact on operator networks, but there will be times when they are not able to do so. When a third party server becomes congested or fails, the communication by the UE applications that make use of that server need to be controlled so that excessive use of 3GPP network resources is avoided while not affecting other applications and their associated servers that are functioning normally. The 3GPP network needs to be able to detect or receive an indication from a third party server of its congestion status or failure status and control UE applications (or their traffic in the 3GPP network) that make use of a third party server that has encountered difficulties. HTTP and other third party (possibly proprietary) protocols can have status codes but these can be insufficient as they cannot provide a suitable indication to the UE application of the nature of the issue and therefore could result in frequent retries even when these will fail, thus burdening the network with connection attempts that will fail. The present document identifies potential requirements that will enable the 3GPP network to detect or receive an indication from a third party server of its congestion status or failure status and control the traffic of individual UE applications (or their traffic in the 3GPP network) when the 3GPP network becomes aware that a third party server has run into difficulties. This will make it possible to - Reduce or avoid unproductive traffic in 3GPP network (i.e., traffic that the 3rd party server is not able to receive) by blocking it either in the UE or in the 3GPP network (primary objective) - Allow 3GPP network to help 3rd party servers to handle overload and recover from failures (secondary objective)

The present document specifies the network selection, including authentication and access authorization using authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) procedures used for the interworking of the 3GPP system and WLANs. In addition to these, the present document also specifies the tunnel management procedures used for establishing an end-to-end tunnel from the WLAN UE to the 3GPP network via the Wu reference point. The present document is applicable to the WLAN user equipment (UE) and the network. In this technical specification the network includes the WLAN and 3GPP network. Tunnel management signalling is carried between WLAN-UE and WLAN by WLAN access technology specific protocols, however this signalling is transparent to the WLAN. Tunnel management procedures are defined to be independent of the underlying WLAN access technology and as such can be reused independently of the underlying technology. The present document specifies procedures within I-WLAN necessary in order for IMS emergency calls to be supported when I-WLAN is used as the underlying access network. These involve both network selection as well as tunnel management procedures. WLAN Network Selection supersedes I-WLAN for UE WLAN selection as specified in 3GPP TS 24.302 [28] from Rel-12 onwards. No further changes to this specification are intended. If any future evolution of the procedures in this specification is necessary, it should be documented in other specifications.

Enhanced Single Radio - Voice Call Continuity (eSRVCC) is an existing standard ([3], [4]) specifying the handover of a Voice or Video call from LTE access to CS-radio access, either to GERAN (2G) or to UTRAN (3G) or other CS networks. The present document considers only enhanced SRVCC for voice calls between 3GPP accesses. This study assumes that the Codecs defined in TS 26.114 are used on the LTE access and the Codecs defined in 3GPP TS 26.103 [7] on the CS accesses. Since Rel-13, the specifications for CS networks include the Codec Type UMTS_EVS with several Configurations, called UMTS_EVS (Set 0) to UMTS_EVS (Set 3). In the IMS Core Network, the voice call is typically anchored in the ATCF/ATGW (Access Transfer Control Function/ Access Transfer Gate Way). The eSRVCC procedure, as specified, may cause additional transcoding between the target radio leg and the ATGW, even though in theory it would be possible to avoid it. As a result, the eSRVCC procedures may add one or more unnecessary transcoding point(s) for the call and thereby degrade the quality of the ongoing call unnecessarily. The main objectives of this study are to analyse example call scenarios and find potential solutions to minimize the number of transcoding cases. Another objective is to optimize the interworking and the transition between EVS and AMR-WB during eSRVCC. The study should also show the reasons and potential solutions for too long speech path interruptions during eSRVCC. The present Technical Report has the following detailed objectives: - Identify relevant eSRVCC scenarios, especially with Codec Mode Control; from AMR-WB and/or EVS in VoLTE to AMR-WB and/or EVS in CS; but include also other important Codecs, such as AMR and G.722. - Analyse Speech Quality Aspects and Media Handling Aspects, based on these scenarios. - Analyse Codec Mode Control before, during and after eSRVCC; recently SA4 has clarified some essential details on Rate Control for AMR and AMR-WB; Rate Control and Audio Bandwidth Control for EVS are still under discussion to some extent. - Analyse the existing SDP Offer - Answer protocol between Target MSC and Anchor-ATCF during eSRVCC, as specified in 3GPP TS 23.216 [3], Stage 2; This analysis will include the whole eSRVCC procedure for at least one essential scenario (e.g. eSRVCC to GERAN) and will identify the potential reasons for transcoding and too long speech path interruptions. - Clarify the existing Codec Compatibility aspects for eSRVCC; especially the interworking between CS and IMS for AMR, AMR-WB and EVS needs to be documented. - Propose enhancements for media and quality aspects of eSRVCC with the aims: a) to avoid transcoding cases as much as possible; b) to minimize the speech path interruption time during eSRVCC; - Support the SA2 SETA work by SA4 expertise in speech quality and media handling.

The present study investigates the security aspects of the service requirements specified by SA1 in TS 22.101 [11] clause 26, on the integration of SSO frameworks with 3GPP networks for various operator authentication configurations (e.g. configurations using GBA or not using GBA). In particular, this study evaluates existing interworking solutions between SSO frameworks and 3GPP authentication mechanisms against the SA1 service requirements. The study is not limited to evaluation of existing interworking solutions and new interworking solutions may be developed as appropriate. The study covers the security requirements to enable the operator to become the preferred SSO Identity Provider by allowing the usage of credentials on the UE for SSO services, as well as ways for the 3GPP operator to leverage its trust framework and its reliable and robust secure credential handling infra-structure to provide SSO service based on operator-controlled credentials.

The present document describes the test procedure for the radiated performances measurements of the user equipment (UE). The handheld UE measurement procedures explained in this document are defined for roaming bands for the speech mode position (beside the head and beside the head and hand) and hand phantom browsing mode position. Laptop mounted equipment (LME) measurement procedures are defined for roaming bands for the data mode transfer position (laptop ground plane phantom). Laptop embedded equipment (LEE) measurement procedures are defined for roaming bands for the data mode transfer position (free space). The browsing mode position explained in this document applies when the UE is held in hand, but not pressed against ear (such as web browsing and navigation). The data mode transfer position (free space) explained in this document applies when the UE is used away from the user’s head. Free space measurements are applicable to devices used in the data mode transfer position that consist of the laptop mounted equipment (LME) plug-in UEs and laptop embedded equipment (LEE) UEs. All bands are potential roaming bands, and the requirements for roaming bands shall therefore be fulfilled for all bands supported by a UE. Radiated performance of multiple-antenna receivers for handheld UE is defined for roaming bands in free space configuration. Recommended performance values for operating bands (Annex I) are however included in this specification for information. It should be recognised that the ability to meet the recommended performance values depends on the number of frequency bands supported by the UE. The radiated radio tests considered here are: 1. The measurement of the Total Radiated Power (TRP) 2. The measurement of the Total Radiated Sensitivity (TRS) 3. The measurement of Total Radiated Multi-antenna Sensitivity (TRMS) The test procedure described in this document measures the performance of the transmitter and the receiver, including the antenna and also the effects of the user.

Release 8 EPS introduced a multi access 3GPP system where different heterogeneous access systems are connected to a common core network. However, in Release 8 EPS, the subscriber cannot communicate using multiple accesses simultaneously. The subscriber can establish a single PDN connection or multiple simultaneous PDN connections in Release 8 EPS, but all the traffic exchanged by the subscriber, regardless of the PDN connection it belongs to, is routed through the same access system. Similarly, Release 8 introduced mobility enhancements to the I-WLAN architecture to support session continuity for any application between 3GPP and I-WLAN accesses, but this will not be further developed in Rel‑13. Devices with multiple wireless interfaces (e.g. 3GPP , WLAN, etc.) are becoming commonly available and the set of applications running in the mobile devices is diversifying with some applications suited to run over 3GPP access systems and other applications well suited to run over some other - complementary - access systems (e.g. ftp transfer via WiFi in parallel to VoIP over LTE). The scope of this document is to study the scenarios, requirements and solutions for UEs with multiple interfaces which will simultaneously connect to 3GPP access and one, and only one, non-3GPP WLAN access. The clause 7.1 refer to the study for the support of IP flow mobility for s2c completed in Rel‑10 and the results have been transferred in TS 23.261. This clause will not be modified nor maintained during Rel‑13 work. Solutions which was studied includes the possibility of dynamically routeing to specific accesses individual flows generated by the same or different applications belonging to the same PDN connection. The study of solutions to support routing of different PDN connections through different access systems is also in the scope of this TR. This study item also investigates the mechanisms for provisioning the UE with operator's policies for multi access PDN connectivity and flow mobility. The scope of Rel‑13 work is to identify the requirements and solutions for UEs with multiple interfaces which are simultaneously connected to 3GPP access and a WLAN access using a network-based mobility protocol, PMIP and GTP based S2a and S2b access to EPS. The solutions studied from Rel‑13 consider the following aspects: - The support of a PDN Connection active over multiple accesses simultaneously. - The association of one or multiple IP flows belonging to a PDN connection to an access system. - The movement of one or multiple IP flows belonging to a PDN connection between different access systems. - The triggers for IP flow mobility in the UE and the network. - UE-initiated and network-initiated NBIFOM. - The impact and the relationship to 3GPP related policies (e.g. PCC, ANDSF, ISRP, ISMP, RAN policy with no ANDSF etc.), if any, to support NBIFOM. This work item doesn't include the scenario where the same IP flow is routed via different access system simultaneously. Scenarios and solutions described in this document are applicable independently of whether IMS or non-IMS applications are used.

Editor's note: This clause will describe the scope of the feasibility study for P4C. This Technical Report addresses stage 2 study for the Evolved Packet System (EPS) to facilitate policy and charging control in the fixed broadband access network in the convergent scenario where a single operator is deploying both the fixed broadband access network and the Evolved Packet Core (EPC). The scope of this TR is to consider the convergent scenario where the PCRF controls directly the network element(s) in the fixed broadband access without the mediation of a different policy server, such as the BPCF defined in TS 23.139 [20]. The work in this TR takes the fixed broadband accesses as specified by BroadBand Forum as a reference. This does not preclude the applicability of the solutions described in this TR to other types of fixed broadband accesses. This TR will address policy and charging control for: - Traffic to/from fixed devices connected to the fixed broadband access network (e.g. PC, IPTV Set top Box). - Traffic exchanged by 3GPP UEs connected via WLAN or H(e)NB when both the fixed broadband access network and the EPC are under the control of the EPS operator. The work is organized in the building blocks and this TR address the Building block listed below, for an outline of the content of each building block refers to clause 4: - BB1: Policy and Charging Control for supporting traffic from fixed terminals and NSWO traffic from 3GPP UEs in fixed broadband access networks (P4C-F). - BB3: Policy and Charging Control for 3GPP UEs connected to fixed broadband access network via S2b and S2c reference points for EPC routed traffic (P4C-S2bc). - BB4: Policy and Charging Control for EPC routed traffic over fixed broadband access networks of 3GPP UEs connected via H(e)NB in convergent scenarios (P4C-HeNB). - BB5: Policy and Charging Control for supporting Layer 2 traffic in fixed broadband access network (P4C-FL2). - BB6: Policy and Charging Control for 3GPP UEs connected to fixed broadband forum access networks as Trusted network in Convergence scenario (P4C-TC). NOTE: The Building Block 2 P4C-TI is addressed in TR 23.839 [28].

The present document is an Integration Reference Point (IRP) named "Core Network (CN) and non-3GPP access interworking system Network Resource Model IRP", through which an 'IRPAgent' (typically an Element Manager or Network Element) can communicate Configuration Management (CM) information to one or several 'IRPManagers' (typically Network Managers) concerning interworking network resources. According to the structure of IWLAN defined in 3GPP TS 23.234 [5], several nodes are defined in 3GPP (e.g. WAG, PDG, 3GPP AAA, etc). The present document is focusing on the definition of NRM IRP IOCs for management support. It reuses relevant parts of the generic NRM in 3GPP TS 28.622 [6], either by direct reuse or sub-classing, and in addition to that defines I-WLAN specific Information Object Classes. In order to access the information defined by this NRM, an Interface IRP is needed, such as the Basic CM IRP IS (3GPP TS 32.602 [7]) or the Bulk CM IRP IS (3GPP TS 32.612 [8]). However, which Interface IRP that is applicable is outside the scope of the present document. The present document supports the Federated Network Information Model (FNIM) concept described in 3GPP TS 32.107 [16] in that the relevant Information Object Classes (IOCs) defined in the present document are directly or indirectly inherited from those specified in the Umbrella Information Model (UIM) of 3GPP TS 28.620 [17].

The present document is part of a series of documents that specify charging functionality and charging management in GSM/UMTS networks. The GSM/UMTS core network charging architecture and principles are specified in 3GPP TS 32.240 [1], which provides an umbrella for other charging management documents that specify: - the content of the CDRs per domain and subsystem (offline charging); - the content of real-time charging messages per domain / subsystem (online charging); - the functionality of online and offline charging for those domains and subsystems; - the interfaces that are used in the charging framework to transfer the charging information (i.e. CDRs or charging events). The complete document structure for these TSs is defined in 3GPP TS 32.240 [1]. The present document specifies the Offline and Online Charging description for the 3GPP interworked Wireless LAN (WLAN), based on the functional stage 2 description of 3GPP WLAN interworking in 3GPP TS 23.234 [201] as well as the Charging support and Charging differentiation for Mobility between 3GPP-Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) interworking and 3GPP systems, based on the functional stage 2 description of mobility between 3GPP-WLAN and 3GPP systems in 3GPP TS 23.327 [202]. This charging description includes the offline and online charging architecture and scenarios specific to the 3GPP interworked WLAN, as well as the mapping of the common 3GPP charging architecture specified in 3GPP TS 32.240 [1] onto the 3GPP interworked WLAN. It further specifies the structure and content of the CDRs for offline charging, and the charging events for online charging. The present document is related to other 3GPP charging TSs as follows: - The common 3GPP charging architecture is specified in 3GPP TS 32.240 [1]. - The parameters, abstract syntax and encoding rules for these CDR types are specified in 3GPP TS 32.298 [51]. - A transaction based mechanism for the transfer of CDRs within the network is specified in 3GPP TS 32.295 [54]. - The file based mechanism used to transfer the CDRs from the network to the operator's billing domain (e.g. the billing system or a mediation device) is specified in 3GPP TS 32.297 [52]. - The 3GPP Diameter application that is used for WLAN offline and online charging is specified in 3GPP TS 32.299 [50]. - The Online and Offline Charging description for Trusted WLAN Access Network to the 3GPP EPC, based on the functional stage 2 description in 3GPP TS 23.402 [209], is specified in 3GPP TS 32.251 [11]. All terms, definitions and abbreviations used in the present document, that are common across 3GPP TSs, are defined in the 3GPP Vocabulary, 3GPP TR 21.905 [100]. Those that are common across charging management in GSM/UMTS domains or subsystems are provided in the umbrella document 3GPP TS 32.240 [1] and are copied into clause 3 of the present document for ease of reading. Finally, those items that are specific to the present document are defined exclusively in the present document.
