YesThis LS covers the implications on the copyright issues that 26.244 was publicly available. The proponent has proficiently drafted the LS citing the problems encoutered, as certain standards (like ISO/IEC 23009-1) are not made available free of cost to the codecs community. Also, few of them has a direct reference to the 3GPP specifications. Further, it has been requested that, publication of the latest editions of ISO/IEC 23009-1 and ISO/IEC 14496-12 on ISO’s available website (i.e. https://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards) be made available free of charge.

YesThe discussion revolved around the use in MBMS for integrity check that it should'nt affect the backward compatibility. However, it was felt that, it could be an issue in the scope of 26.346 for MBMS deployment and if DVB was prepared to have an extention to be done by 3GPP for ths purpose. There were views on deiciding the use cases to move forward and extending the same. Hearing all the views, the Chairman felt to prepare a response to the liaison statement.

Yesclause 7 of 26.347 is the reference. Should add media player in the non 5GMS case. Thomas: not sure if a media player to be added as it would load the 5GMS Cedric: Use case of no 5GMS but only a DASH player. Thomas: the first figure is independent of 5GMS, so it can be added through a separate figure. Charles: Enquires about the control asects of API. Thomas: MBS is more aligned to 26.347. Richard: is it a case where the media player requests over MBS7 and media client fails through receive it . Thomas: for hybrid, who makes the decision and redirects the requests. Richard: should not the reference architecure describes all the possibilties. Thomas: dynamic management is a challenge. There could be multicast and unicast scenarios. Richard: I agree that thre are two cases - MBSu and MBSc. There is a 3rd option where the unicast request terminates in the AS. Cedric: There is similar contribution (B2 scenario) from Thorsten on the same and not exactly aligned with the current document. Thorsten: in B2 scenario, the NEF is located a bit differently.

    S4‑210154 Discussion on the scope of FS_5GMS-Multicast wrt 5MBS Ericsson LM discussion Agreement Yes
YesThe discussion revolves on the 1. looking on the preogress, focus on user service architecture. 2. to study more in the group before sending to SA6/SA2. Some of the MB2 should also be studied in SA4. Chiar: are we just leveraging streaming in the light of MBS. Is it is the xMB or M1. Thomas: should all service use xMB or MB2 ? Chair: with regards to service requirements, if xMB is used, then SA4 does stage 3 as well. Thorsten: It's CT3's scope. From LS from SA2, SA4 is asked to ask into the MBU. Peng: to address the key issues in MBS media streaming. Chair: the service requirements of MBS is sought after. Thorsten: the existing one from the LTE can be taken. Chair: however, it would be a strong assumption. Now that SA4 is tasked to define the MBSu, then it would be nice to ask SA6 and SA2 asking clarification. Thorsten: to draft a LS. Chair: to draft LS Qi Pan: some functionalities has been moved to 5GC. So, SA2 is requried to define the scope of MBSu. We can define the delivery regardless of the payload. Thorsten: moving to non-5GMS MBS service specification, might not loop in SA6 fot that purpose.

YesThere is a bit of tension between SA and CT groups. The guidelines are open to the openAPI specifications irrespective of 5G. There should be a 3GPP harmonization way of working. Since SA4 is doing all the openAPI specification, the consequence for SA4. As per the existing guideline, S4-210174 (M1 OpenAPI spec) and S4-210231 (M5 OpenAPI Spec) needs to be updated according to the guidelines in TS 21.900 Clause 5B. Chair: we can't produce yaml files in a good way by tomorrow. Power to agree a CR for implementation of annex to openAPIs in 26.512.

YesHuawei presented the proposal. Imed, Qualcomm: Concerns about the second part of the architectural mapping by putting additional layer. This has been discussed in S4-210161 already. There is no need to put an interface between AF and EES in the architecture. There can be private interfaces at this juncture. Qi, Huawei: From SA6 presepctive, a specific EAS can be defined having specific 5GMS AF unctionalities. Iraj, Tencent: To avoid the confusion, the realtionship without having any new interface could be a way forward. Richard, BBC: It’s a low-level diagram. Chair: The diagram in S4-210161 is preferred. Thorsten: Supports BBC Chair: Deployment options could be added to the Annex. Of 26.512 when there is a nromative work on the same. Iraj: Good to capture this discussion in the TR.

YesThe discussion was in the lines of difining functionalities of edge enabled 5GMS. Iraj: Proposed to be called as edge enabled 5GMS AS - but each of the functions are a mix of two entities. Richard: simplifying diagram can help to deduce things better. Iraj: better to come up with a diagrams howing interaction between different modules. EAS and EES are effectively invisible in this diagram. Imed: Edge enabled 5GMS AS. Chair: not clear on edge enabled 5GMS AS. A 5GMS AF may support additional fucntionalities somewhere. There has been reservation on defining new entities in the architecture diagram - which can have new functionalaties.

YesThe discussion revolves around RIST and SRT. Thorsten: Is it a downlink distribution ? Clarification required. Thomas: It is an ingest to downlink. Richard: The scope to be defined which says ingest for D/L or the content prepapartion for U/L. Thorsten: Content preparation can be applied to both U/L and D/L. Iraj: It might be applicable to all possible scenarios. Chair: The intention of FFS is to be done later in next Release ? Thomas: It was for D/L. Still bit sceptical on uplink ingest. Imed: Whether TDD or FFS, has not been decided as of now.# Chair: To be merged with 101 and to remove the FFS as of now.

Gilles: to put a note stating that, subjective quality testing can be an alternative to provide quality assesment. CMCC: it is not proper for simulative system, so it is okay to remove this part and if there are other ways, then it can be added later. Thomas: We need to look into it for the view port dependent streaming and it needs to mulled over on how the simulation has to be done. S4-210071 has relevant information than this current one and these documents can be merged to a permanent document. Gilles: are the contents of this current document is agreeable ?

By June 2021, the XRTraffic could be completed by June 2021 otherwise, it would be a strech over 9 months from the initial deadline. Gilles: as per the comment, should the study be stopped in between June, 2021 to March,2022 Thomas: SI alsways included more than XR traffic. Just that the XR_traffic took longer due to COVID and e-meetings were slow. Rel 17 extended from 6 to 9 months. Lei, Tencent: It could be more clear to Thomas: XR_Traffic is terminated in June 2021. It could be added to the remarks. Gilles: If SA4 is not able to provide the information to SA2 for stage 2, then it falls into the stage 3 timeframe. Lei, Tencent: This kind of note can be confusing. This is common in WID to clarify the same. Thomas, Qc: all XR traffic related work to be completed by June 2021. This has been added in the remarks section of the WID template.

YesLei, Tencent: This is a good discussion paper, however it would be nice to discuss it in SA instead of SA4. Gilles: this document states that how SA4 can be more efficient ,in terms of answering the questions asked to the group. Qi, Huawei: In order to prepare answers to be prepared for answers from various WG group (SA1,RAN1,SA2), most of response is documented in 211. This is however a good discussion document and can be mapped to a PD ? James, AT&T: This new proposal is quite useful which partciularly talks about services and evaluation metrics. Also in technical deployment, user,operator or 3rd party - this is another aspect where PD can be proposed. Lei, Tencent: If the intern group co-ordiantion needs to be improved, it should be discussed at the plenary level. Futher, SA1 has a different release planning relative to SA4. Thomas, Qualcomm:SA4 delegates and experts have to given the time to develop on XR traffic models and SA4 is the most relevant group to work on 5G codecs, and multimedia. James, AT&T: Support Qualcomm in this issue. Gilles: Revise the contribution and present to the SA4 closing plenary. Thomas: some time needed to analyse the use cases - and to be extended to antoher meeting cycle. Some more time needed to identify these services. Chris, Vodafone: agreed.

YesThe discussion revolved around SA1 and RAN1 to inform SA4 beforehand of the study of the usecases. Qualcomm mentioned that, SA4 shouldnot always be seen as stage 3 only. Xiomi seconded the views. It was mentioned that other 3GPP groups sometimes decide for the video traffic characteriestcs which have sub-optimal values. Chair, Dolby mentioned that SA4 has been a bit lagging to comply with the 3GPP timelines and for most of the cases, it had nothing to do with inter group co-ordination - it is SA4's mandate to timely deliver the work. It is SA4's onus to pull the information from other RAN and SA groups. If SA4 can start work early, then there could be better co-ordination.

YesThorsten Lohmar, Ericsson presented the document. Edward: Bandwidth required for U/L in an open question here. It would be good to include RAN as they could provide a fair idea for trnsmissions. Thpirsten: SA1 has already completed the study requirement. We could add RAN2 in this study. Edward: several broadcasters are sharing the same spectrum in U/L. There has to be more information from RAN directing us to give some headers. Also, unlicensed spectrum could also be thought of. Thorsten: It is more in-line with SA1 requirement. However, we could have a study on the unlicensed spectrum aspects. Thomas: Very supportive for different verticals. The silos need to be very precise and defined. Edward: Need to check the procedures before we could make it commercially available. Darko, EBU: TR 22.827 and 263 and the same resources can be pressed in for this study. Support this study in genral. Edward: We have TCLI, on filtration of public content. there are potential way to identify traffic flows.

    S4‑210263 Status Update of WI/SI at the closing plenary of SA4#112-e 3GPP MCC Work Plan Agreement No
YesRegarding the Future Meeting Plan: Samsung (host of F2F in August 2021) confirmed that due to the strictures imposed by the Korean Govt. in the quarantine rules for international travellers due to lingering COVID-19 pandemic, the F2F meeting in August, 2021 has been changed to an online meeting. The duration of SA4#115-e will be from 18th to 27th August, 2021. There were also discussion about the mode of meeting, where it was felt that members have an inclination of going back to the F2F meetings mode. It is also noticed that MCC would be limited in terms of resources to support online meetings for SA4 for a long time, being a smaller group compared to RAN WGs or SA2. Further, members have also expressed their reservation in having a hybrid meeting set-up in future that's percived to be an ardous scenario than the present one. After a week of discussion amongst the members regarding the dates of the meeting, the following dates for SA4 meetings in 2022 has been agreed at a broad level. Considering the COVID scenario, options of e-meetings were also kept open to one meeting in a year. However, it is to be remembered that none of the future SA4 online meetings will not accrue any voting rights to the members. - SA4#117 F2F:14-18 February 2022 OR, E-meeting:14-23 February 2022 - SA4#118 E-meeting:6-14 April 2022 - SA4#119 F2F:16-20 May 2022 OR, E-meeting:11-20 May 2022 - SA4#120 F2F:22-26 August 2022 OR, E-meeting:17-26 August 2022 - SA4#121 F2F:14-18 November 2022 OR, E-meeting:9-18 November 2022 Election Announcement: The Chairman announced the elections for Chair and Vice-Chair in April SA4#113-e meeting. The current Chairman & Vice-Chairman have expressed their willingness to stand in for a consecutive 3rd term and clarified that they have support from their respective companies to continue for the same role. Thomas Stockhammer, Qualcomm asked a clarification on the same company holding a Chair and Vice-Chair positions in the same group as per 3GPP rules. The Chairman clarified, that according to the 3GPP rules, the same company cannot hold both the Chiar and Vice-Chair positions. So, if the same situation persists in the SA4 leadership after elections in April, 2021, then one of the positions held by the same compmany would be up for election again during the May, 2021 meeting. Mr. Stefan Bruhn, Vice-Chair - SA4 applauded the statement and mentioned that he would be happy to support the decision of the group. MCC would role out the announcement of the Elections for two positions, the Chairperson and one of the Vice-Chairperson respectively over the official SA4 mailing reflector preferably on 11th Feb, 2021. It is to be noted that in 3GPP as per the current rules, online meetings are adhoc ones and no voting rights are accrued by the members during these. Therefore, members-in-goodstanding (eligible for voting) will be calculated as per the presence of the members during SA4#107 (held during January 2020 in Poland). Further, there will not be proxy voting in the online elections.
