 3GPP – How It Works
3GPP works based on
• Participation in face-to-face meetings
• Pro-activity & Contributions – you need written
proposals to get attention
• Consenus – nobody says “no” in order to progress
689 Companies actively participate in the 3GPP work
• From all over the world
• All major telecommunication companies – operators, network/device/chipset
vendors
• More and more vertical industry representatives bring their work directly to 3GPP

Work organization Amazing Track Record

• Study Items, Work Items • 3GPP started 1998, since then all major standards projects were deployed
• Releases with fixed time-lines, which are partially • E.g. 3G/UMTS, 4G/LTE, VoLTE/IMS, NB-IoT, 5G
overlapping • Seamless migration from “old” to “new” technology generations
• Work Plan (good overview)
A new Release every 15 to 24 months
3 stages, often overlapping • Allows for resonably fast standardization & deployment of new ideas
• Stage 1: Requirements • Strong commitment to time-lines guarantees reliable planning and time-to-market
• Stage 2: Architecture • New technologies get easily introduced (IP, IoT, AI ...)
• Stage 3: Protocols

 Change Request (CR)
Changes a 3GPP Specification in a specific Release (version)
can be revised several times
needs to be agreed by WG (e.g. SA3) and then approved by TSG e.g. SA)
different categories, e.g.
• D – editorial correction
• F – correction
• B – adding a new feature
• C – functional modification of an existing feature
• A – mirror, if a change to a Rel-X also is applied to a Rel-(X-1)

must include the complete sections of the 3GPP specification which is

proposed to be changed with the proposed changes highlighted in
revision marks.

 COVID-19 Impact
Cancellation of all 3GPP face-to-face meetings, including plenaries
• so far Q1 and Q2/2020
• more f2f meetings might need cancelling in Q3 and beyond
• “Back to normal” depends on international travel restrictions

All 3GPP meetings now conducted as e-meetings

• Less, but still stable and high-quality output
• Tooling and procedures are discussed and further aligned

Focus is on Completion of Rel-16

Rel-17 starting up on stage 2

 3GPP + Verticals
More and more new vertical industry service proposal are brought to 3GPP
• Not all of them can be standardized in full immediately
• Services which are represented only by few delegates are shifted to later releases

3GPP just started new programmes to better integrate new delegates & vertical industires
• Newcomer Introduction Sessions – several held in Q3 and Q4/2019, lots of attendes and interest
• Mentoring process – well established & new delegates learn from each other
• 3GPP Liaison Persons – to participate in vertical forums / MRPs

More is needed, e.g.

• address long-term goals of vertical industries that spawn over several releases (e.g. MC services)
• make 3GPP work more transparent (e.g. how to find out in which WG a work item is addressed)
• are there ways to reduce the ressources for standardisation (some verticals shy away due to high resource costs)

We need your input and cooperation! © 3GPP 2020

3GPP Introducitn & SA Webinar to TSDSI – June 2020 34

 Step-Wise Approach
3GPP is based on
• Releases, usually between 12 and 24 month long
• Iterative approach – a topic can spawn over several releases
• Work Items – usually on stage 2 / 3only covering a technical sub-area

Verticals need to make sure

• to align their views in a way that they requirements are met per release
• to plan their requirements so that they can be processed in different WIs
• to move parts of their work into more general WIDs (e.g. URLLC)

3GPP Introducitn & SA Webinar to TSDSI – June 2020 52

 3GPP Release 18
So far SA1 has started working on a number of new Items
Timelines and content have not been agreed
• Prioritization of content is usually done only once work starts on stage 2
Given the current situation and the R17 timeline shift it is foreseeable that
stage 2 will not start working on Rel-18 in 2020

 Summary & Next Steps
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, 3GPP currently conducts e-meetings only
Release 16 is on-track, with stage 3 freeze shifted to June 2016, still in time for IMT-2020
submission
Rel-17 content is fixed now, Verticals are well represented there – good balance
Plan new ideas for Rel-18
Key steps for verticals
• Coordinate amongst each other & with other players
• Provide necessary resources
• Propose new (gradual) improvements
Let us tackle open issues together
• How to gain more awareness of vertical views on all levels of 3GPP?
• How to reflect better vertical industries product cycles and approaches?
