That white paper has now been enhanced to include additional capabilities and some clarification to the capabilities and functions from the previous version of the white paper. In particular, device-centric requirements have been clarified and a few new ones added in accordance with SA WG1 requirements of Release 17. Concerning net-work-centric requirements, network monitoring have been detailed in the Annex of the white paper. Also, the Annex now lists parameters for QoS monitoring. Since 5G-ACIA believes that these service exposure requirements are valuable to be considered in ongoing work in 3GPP, we would like to make this new white paper availa-ble to you: - White paper title: Exposure of 5G capabilities for connected industries and automa-tion applications - Link www.5g-acia.org\/publications - PDF copy: attached to this liaison statement 5G-ACIA would be eager to receive 3GPP's feedback on these new exposure interface requirements and related Stage-2 and Stage-3 work.","secretary_remarks":"Revision of Postponed SP-210281 from SP-92E.

SA WG5 specifies 5G network management capabilities including: a) Network Element \/ Network Function management, e.g. RAN and CN NE\/NF management b) Network management (including network slice management in a scenario such as 'NOP internals' - cf. TS 28.530), c) Service management (including network slice management in a scenario such as 'Network Slice as a Service' (NSaaS) - cf. TS 28.530). 3GPP 5G Management Services (MnS) offered by the 5G management system act on network elements \/ network functions, networks and services, and may be exposed to external consumers. The 3GPP exposure governance management function is in charge of management service exposure governance. 3GPP MnS consumers may be in the Network Operator (NOP) domain or outside the NOP domain (e.g. in the Vertical domain). SA WG5 is responsible for the specification of the 5G Management Services, as well as for the specification of the access control and exposure of 5G management services. Regarding the reference points in 5G-ACIA, both En and Nm reference points are related to SA WG5, and we believe they are used to address management exposure aspects. ? 5G-ACIA 5G exposure reference point En supports interactions between 3GPP MnS producers and their consumers for network monitoring as described in section 4.3.1 and 9.2.1 of 5G-ACIA White Paper. The 3GPP Fault Supervision MnS and Performance management MnS can be used to support network monitoring. This also includes monitoring of a logical network e.g. network slice. ? 5G-ACIA 5G exposure reference point Nm supports interactions between 3GPP MnS producers and their consumers for network configuration and maintenance as described in section 4.3.2 of 5G-ACIA White Paper. The 3GPP Provisioning MnS can be used to support network configuration and maintenance. This also includes the add, modify and remove logical networks e.g. network slice. Actions: 1. Please take the above information into account in the coordinated reply to 5G ACIA. 2. Please keep SA WG5 informed of the progress of their work on 5G capabilities exposure for factories of the future, especially on the network management related topics.","secretary_remarks":"Revision of Postponed SP-210462 from SP-92E.

Therefore, SA WG6 would like to request SA to coordinate such a reply to 5G-ACIA and take into consideration the following input about the related SA WG6 work. SA WG6 has addressed service layer exposure requirements for industrial applications within Release 17 in the study on application layer support for Factories of the Future in 5G network. This study was done based on 5G network exposure capabilities and SA WG1 requirements. The SA WG6 study is documented in the technical report 3GPP TR 23.745. As described in the latest version of 3GPP TR 23.745, identified key issues, solutions and conclusions at the application enablement layer have been addressed which may be of interest of 5G-ACIA. For instance, device management requirements on device identity management, device connectivity management (e.g. for time sensitive communication support, TSN support, QoS monitoring), device connectivity monitoring, device group management (e.g. 5GLAN group management) and device location information are some of the addressed key issues within the SA WG6 study. Other requirements have also been addressed within this study, e.g. clock synchronization. Also, some of the concluded solutions in 3GPP TR 23.745 have already been specified in Release 17 as part of enhancements to the Service Enabler Architecture Layer for Verticals (SEAL) in the technical specification 3GPP TS 23.434. Besides, SA WG6 would like to request 5G-ACIA to provide any feedback on the completed work in 3GPP TR 23.745 and the solutions introduced in SEAL in order to continue the collaboration on service exposure capabilities for industrial applications. Likewise, SA WG6 would like to ask 5G-ACIA to encourage its members to actively engage in the related SA WG6 activities.","secretary_remarks":"Revision of Postponed SP-210560 from SP-92E.

It has been clarified that ASN.1 IE and field names can be changed without compromising backwards compatibility of the protocols. RAN#92e instructed the RAN WG Chairs to recommend RAN specification Rapporteurs to act accordingly when preparing the related Rel-17 CRs for NR and LTE. Current consensus in RAN is that legacy GERAN and UTRAN specifications should also be part of the review activity, as previously reported to TSG SA (SP-210259). We welcome your feedback on this aspect. RAN also discussed and concluded that a harmonized 3GPP wide approach for changes to protocol \/ ASN.1 names would be appropriate, and asks TSG SA and TSG CT to consider acting accordingly.
