- Enhanced RF requirements:
- Specify RF requirements, mainly spherical coverage requirements, for devices with simultaneous reception from different directions with different QCL TypeD RSs
- The legacy spherical coverage requirement for reception from a single direction will be kept
- PC3 will be prioritized, other power classes should be considered after the PC3 requirements framework is finalized

The application of AI/ML to wireless communications has been thus far limited to implementation-based approaches, both, at the network and the UE sides. A study on enhancement for data collection for NR and ENDC (FS_NR_ENDC_data_collect) has examined the functional framework for RAN intelligence enabled by further enhancement of data collection through use cases, examples etc. and identify the potential standardization impacts on current NG-RAN nodes and interfaces. In SA WG2 AI/ML related study, a network functionality NWDAF (Network Data Analytics Function) was introduced in Rel-15 and has been enhanced in Rel-16 and Rel-17.
This study explores the benefits of augmenting the air-interface with features enabling improved support of AI/ML. The 3GPP framework for AI/ML is studied for air-interface corresponding to each target use case regarding aspects such as performance, complexity, and potential specification impact.
Through studying a few carefully selected use cases, assessing their performance in comparison with traditional methods and the associated potential specification impacts that enable their solutions, this study lays the foundation for future air-interface use cases leveraging AI/ML techniques.
Sufficient use cases are targeted to enable the identification of a common AI/ML framework, including functional requirements of AI/ML architecture, which could be used in subsequent projects. The study also serves identifying areas where AI/ML could improve the performance of air-interface functions.
The study serves identifying what is required for an adequate AI/ML model characterization and description establishing pertinent notation for discussions and subsequent evaluations. Various levels of collaboration between the gNB and UE are identified and considered.
Evaluations to exercise the attainable gains of AI/ML based techniques for the use cases under consideration are carried out with the corresponding identification of KPIs with the goal to have a better understanding of the attainable gains and associated complexity requirements.
Finally, specification impact are assessed in order to improve the overall understanding of what would be required to enable AI/ML techniques for the air-interface.
The central objective of this project is to study the 3GPP framework for AI/ML for air-interface corresponding to each target use case regarding aspects such as performance, complexity, and potential specification impact.
The use cases to focus include:
- CSI feedback enhancement
- Spatial-frequency domain CSI compression using two-sided AI model
- Time domain CSI prediction using UE sided model
- Beam management
- Spatial-domain Downlink beam prediction for Set A of beams based on measurement results of Set B of beams
- Temporal Downlink beam prediction for Set A of beams based on the historic measurement results of Set B of beams
- Positioning accuracy enhancements
- Direct AI/ML positioning
- AI/ML assisted positioning
Note: the selection of use cases for this study solely targets the formulation of a framework to apply AI/ML to the air-interface for these and other use cases. The selection itself does not intend to provide any indication of the prospects of any future normative project.
This study also introduces AI/ML model terminology and description to identify common and specific characteristics for framework investigations, namely to:
- Characterize the defining stages of AI/ML related algorithms and associated complexity:
- Model generation, e.g., model training (including input/output, pre-/post-process, online/offline as applicable), model validation, model testing, as applicable
- Inference operation, e.g., input/output, pre-/post-process, as applicable
- Identify various levels of collaboration between UE and gNB pertinent to the selected use cases, e.g.,
- No collaboration: implementation-based only AI/ML algorithms without information exchange [for comparison purposes]
- Various levels of UE/gNB collaboration targeting at separate or joint ML operation.
- Characterize lifecycle management of AI/ML model: e.g., model training, model deployment, model inference, model monitoring, model updating
- Dataset(s) for training, validation, testing, and inference
- Identify common notation and terminology for AI/ML related functions, procedures and interfaces
- Note: the work done for FS_NR_ENDC_data_collect is considered when appropriate
For the use cases under consideration:
1) Performance benefits of AI/ML based algorithms for the agreed use cases are evaluated:
- Methodology based on statistical models (from TR 38.901 and TR 38.857 [positioning]), for link and system level simulations.
- Extensions of 3GPP evaluation methodology for better suitability to AI/ML based techniques should be considered as needed.
- Whether field data are optionally needed to further assess the performance and robustness in real-world environments should be discussed as part of the study.
- Need for common assumptions in dataset construction for training, validation and test for the selected use cases.
- Consider adequate model training strategy, collaboration levels and associated implications
- Consider agreed-upon base AI model(s) for calibration
- AI model description and training methodology used for evaluation should be reported for information and cross-checking purposes
- KPIs: Determine the common KPIs and corresponding requirements for the AI/ML operations. Determine the use-case specific KPIs and benchmarks of the selected use-cases.
- Performance, inference latency and computational complexity of AI/ML based algorithms should be compared to that of a state-of-the-art baseline
- Overhead, power consumption (including computational), memory storage, and hardware requirements (including for given processing delays) associated with enabling respective AI/ML scheme, as well as generalization capability should be considered.
2) Potential specification impact, specifically for the agreed use cases and for a common framework, is assessed:
- PHY layer aspects, e.g., (RAN1)
- Considering aspects related to, e.g., the potential specification of the AI Model lifecycle management, and dataset construction for training, validation and test for the selected use cases
- Use case and collaboration level specific specification impact, such as new signalling, means for training and validation data assistance, assistance information, measurement, and feedback
- Protocol aspects, e.g., (RAN2) - RAN2 only starts the work after there is sufficient progress on the use case study in RAN1
- Considering aspects related to, e.g., capability indication, configuration and control procedures (training/inference), and management of data and AI/ML model, per RAN1 input
- Collaboration level specific specification impact per use case
- Interoperability and testability aspects, e.g., (RAN4) - RAN4 only starts the work after there is sufficient progress on use case study in RAN1 and RAN2
- Requirements and testing frameworks to validate AI/ML based performance enhancements and ensuring that UE and gNB with AI/ML meet or exceed the existing minimum requirements if applicable
- Considering the need and implications for AI/ML processing capabilities definition
Note 1: Specific AI/ML models are not expected to be specified and are left to implementation. User data privacy needs to be preserved.
Note 2: The study on AI/ML for air interface is based on the current RAN architecture and new interfaces shall not be introduced.

The objectives of this study are to enhance the FR2 RF testing methodology and to quantify the impact of the enhancements on the UE performance, as related to the polarization basis mismatch between the test equipment and UE and to add support for testing under extreme temperature conditions.
The development of testing methodology enhancements proceeds within the following scope:
- In general
- Target the testing and calibration aspects of the permitted methods for FR2 UE RF testing and the preliminary assessment of measurement uncertainty (Clause 5.2 and Annex B of TR38.810)
- The test methodologies and procedures shall be applicable for different device types and power classes with DUT size defined in the TR 38.810. Prioritize the study to PC3 for aspects related to DUT size, and limit the study to free space conditions
- The study item outcomes shall capture the efficacy of the enhancements
- Objectives related to regulatory test cases shall be prioritized
The detailed objectives are:
1. Define test methodology for high DL power and low UL power test cases
- Considering path loss reduction, measurement antenna gain improvement, DUT positioning improvement, and MU improvement
- Considering NFTF (defined in Clause 5.2 of TR38.810) and direct near field test methodologies as possible alternative methods
- Other approaches are not precluded
- Study preliminary assessment of measurement uncertainty of new alternative methods
2. Define solutions to minimize the impact of polarization basis mismatch between the TE and DUT on the RF testing
- Considering polarization basis mismatch between the test equipment and UE and UE implementations which may be impacted by this mismatch
- Study EIS test metric which can apply to different UE RF implementations considering downlink polarization sweep enhancement
- Limit the study of this objective to the permitted UE RF methods defined in Clause 5.2 of TR38.810
- Possible enhancements may be described as
- Downlink polarization sweeping by the test equipment (i.e. introducing an additional degree of freedom for polarization alignment of the measurement antenna)
- The use of circular polarization to perform measurements
- Coherent combining and demodulation of orthogonally polarized received signals in the test equipment
- Uplink polarization sweeping by the test equipment to search for the optimal polarization angle to receive and demodulate the signal transmitted by the UE
- Considering NFTF (defined in Clause 5.2 of TR38.810) test methodology for EIS measurement
- TPMI side condition method, where TPMI side conditions are applicable to Rel-16 (and higher) UEs
- Test mode to trigger TX diversity
- Other approaches are not precluded
3. Study testability enhancements to support the verification of RF requirements for inter-band (FR2+FR2) CA
- Work on inter-band DL CA is prioritized
- Whether the test setup shall be restricted to emulating the signal from the same direction for the aggregated bands shall be aligned with the UE RF architecture assumption taken in the work item on NR RF Requirement Enhancements for FR2 [UID 830189]
4. Support extreme temperature conditions for all applicable FR2 UE RF test cases
- Considering beam peak search, spherical coverage, and total radiated power procedures
- Limit the study of this objective to the permitted UE RF methods defined in Clause 5.2 of TR38.810
- Study preliminary impacts on system measurement uncertainty under extreme temperature conditions
5. Study testability enhancements to reduce test time

This technical specification, specifies a mechanism, which can be used as a platform for providing special tariffs and/or special set of service features for certain subscribers within a regionally restricted area or areas.
The motivation for this concept is to create means for network operators to build new service and tariff packages, which take into account subscriber groups and their needs.
The localised service area is both an optional network feature and an optional UE feature. Usage and implementation of the different SoLSA service features may vary according to operator's service packages.
This feature is not intended to replace the existing method of cell selection, cell indication and handover.
“Support of Localised service area (SoLSA)” is renamed Phase 2+ item “Support of Home Area Priority”

The scope of the present document is to describe the Service aspects of a GSM Cordless Telephony System (CTS), which provides the possibility for users of GSM terminals to have cordless access to a fixed network, such as PSTN/ISDN or a radio network such as GSM.
Due to the time constraints to have a first specification ready for market needs, a phased approach is necessary. The first phase aims primarily at an application supporting the speech teleservice (including DTMF support) in a residential single cell environment. The focus is on the requirements necessary to elaborate the radio interface and the security aspects for such an application.
To not prevent or impede the evolution of CTS to additional services and functions, later phases may have to be considered when now defining the means to fulfil the above mentioned requirements for the first phase of CTS. Therefore, additional support on the CTS radio interface for later phase services (e.g. SMS, subscriber authentication and GSM supplementary services), is included already in CTS Phase 1, provided that such services are clearly defined. Other expected services and functions in later phases are included in annex A.
The standardisation of the physical layers of the GSM-CTS fixed network interface is not in the scope of the present document. However, consideration may need to be given to communication of application data between CTS and PLMN via the fixed network.

This specification is only applicable for a GERAN PLMN. In the 2nd generation is this a GSM PLMN. In the 3rd generation is this a PLMN that uses a GERAN as radio access network operating either in A/Gb mode or in Iu mode.
A PLMN may be described by a limited set of access interfaces (refer to 3GPP TS 24.002 and 22.001) and a limited set of PLMN connection types to support the telecommunication services described in the 3GPP 22-series of specifications. The present document identifies and defines these connection types in so far as they relate to the particular network capabilities for a PLMN.
The basic lower layer capabilities of a PLMN are represented by a set of PLMN connection types. The definition of a set of PLMN connection types provides the necessary input to identify network capabilities of a PLMN. In addition to describing network capabilities of a PLMN, the identification of connection types facilitates the specification of network-to-network interfaces. It may also assist in the allocation of network performance parameters.
The present document should be considered in conjunction with other 3GPP specifications with particular reference to 3GPP TS 22.001, 22.002, 22.003, 23.002, 24.002 and 44.004.
The present document provides a bridge between the service specification in the 3GPP TS 22-series of specifications and the more detailed specifications such as the 3GPP TS 43, 44, 23, 24, 27 and 29 series. As such, it establishes a framework for the specification and understanding of the more detailed specifications. It is therefore not a specification against which detailed conformance testing can be performed. However, it shall be considered mandatory for the understanding of the more detailed specifications and used to resolve issues of conflict in these specifications.
From R99 onwards the following services are no longer required by a PLMN:
• the dual Bearer Services “alternate speech/data” and “speech followed by data”
• the dedicated services for PAD and Packet access
• the single asynchronous and synchronous Bearer Services (BS 21..26, BS 31..34)
From Release 4 onwards the following services are no longer required by a PLMN:
- the synchronous Bearer Service non-transparent (BS 30 NT).
- the Basic Packet access
- the Teleservice Facsimile non-transparent (TS 61/62 NT).
If a PLMN network still provides these services it has to fulfil the specification of former releases.

The present document provides a system wide view of the operation of discontinuous reception on the GSM system.
The support of DRX is mandatory in GSM PLMNs.
The detailed coding and procedural details are defined in the relevant Technical Specifications dealing with the specific interfaces that are involved, for instance GSM 08.08 and GSM 04.08. Reference is also made to the framing on the air interface which is defined in Technical Specification GSM 05.02.
The present document gives an overview of the implementation of discontinuous reception DRX within the GSM system, the actions required at MSC, BSS, and MS, the support of the facility via the air interface, and some operational aspects of the facility.

This Technical Specification specifies the network functions needed to provide the security related service and functions specified in 3GPP TS 42.009.
This specification does not address the cryptological algorithms that are needed to provide different security related features. This topic is addressed in annex C. Wherever a cryptological algorithm or mechanism is needed, this is signalled with a reference to annex C. The references refers only to functionalities, and some algorithms may be identical or use common hardware.

The present document gives an overview of the tasks undertaken by a GSM Mobile Station (MS) when in idle mode, that is, switched on but not having a dedicated channel allocated (e.g. not making or receiving a call), when in group receive mode, that is, receiving a voice group call or voice broadcast call but not having a dedicated connection or when in broadcast/multicast receive mode, that is, receiving an MBMS session but not having a dedicated channel allocated. It also describes the corresponding network functions. The idle mode functions are also performed by a GPRS MS as long as no dedicated channel is allocated to the MS. The idle mode functions are also performed by a CTS MS as long as the CTS MS is in manual mode GSM only or in automatic mode under PLMN coverage.
NOTE: The term GSM MS is used for any type of MS supporting one, or combinations, of the frequency bands specified in 3GPP TS 45.005.
The present document outlines how the requirements of the 3GPP TS 22 series Technical Specifications (especially 3GPP TS 22.011) on idle mode operation shall be implemented. Further details are given in 3GPP TS 44.018 and 3GPP TS 45.008.
Clause 2 of the present document gives a general description of the idle mode process. Clause 3 outlines the main requirements and technical solutions of those requirements. Clause 4 describes the processes used in idle mode. There is inevitably some overlap between these clauses. Clause 5 describes the cell change procedures for a MS in group receive mode. Clause 5a describes the cell change procedures for a MS in broadcast/multicast receive mode.

The present document describes the transmission planning aspects pertaining to the speech service in the GSM PLMN system. Due to technical and economic factors, there cannot be full compliance with the general characteristics of international telephone connections and circuits recommended by the ITU‑T.
The present document gives guidance as to the precautions, measures and minimum requirements needed for successful interworking of the PLMN with the national and international PSTN. The present document identifies a number of routeing and network configurations. The objective is to reach a quality as close as possible to ITU‑T standards in order to safeguard the performance seen by PSTN customers.
The requirements stated for acoustics in dual mode GSM/3GPP handsets shall be interpreted as requirement on acoustics in the GSM mode.
