Many of the standardized SON\/MDT features are implemented in LTE commercial networks and have provided means for a cost-efficient handing of the networks. \nThe core part of WI SON\/MDT support for NR was introduced in Rel-16. It uses LTE solutions as baseline and takes the NR new architectures and features into account, e.g. MR-DC, beam, inactive state, etc. In this WI, SON features Mobility Robustness Optimisation (MRO), RACH optimisation, L2 measurements and Minimization of Drive Tests (MDT) support for NR were introduced. Due to the time constrains, some of the objectives listed in the Rel-16 SON and MDT WID were considered in Rel-17.\nTherefore, the core part of data collection enhancement in NR SA (standalone) and MR-DC (EN-DC, NE-DC, NR-DC) for SON\/MDT are introduced in Rel-17. This WI tackles the leftover features and further enhancement of SON\/MDT, including leftovers of Rel-16 WI, e.g., Successful HO reports, RACH Optimisation enhancements, MDT enhancements, MDT for MR-DC, etc, and enhancement of R16 new features enabled by data collection, e.g. 2-step RACH, mobility enhancements, etc.\nThe completion level of the 3GPP Rel-17 work item on enhancement of data collection for SON\/MDT in NR has achieved 75% at RP#94-e (Dec-2021), and the Target Completion Date of the WI is March-2022.

The user may have both a personal and a business subscription in one device or has two personal subscriptions in one device for different services (e.g., use one individual subscription and one \u201cfamily circle\u201d plan). However, support for multi-USIM within a device is currently handled in an implementation-specific manner, resulting in a variety of implementations and UE behaviours. Standardizing support for such UE\u2019s can prove beneficial from a performance perspective in that network functionality can be based on predictable UE behaviour.\nCollision due to reception of paging when the UE is in IDLE\/INACTIVE mode in both of the networks associated with respective SIMs was discussed in both SA\/CT and RAN. An IMSI offset was introduced into LTE to calculate an alternative IMSI for deriving the modified Paging Occasion to avoid paging collisions. The procedures for network switching (with or without retaining RRC connection in network A) were designed for the UE to notify Network A of its switch from Network A to Network B. Finally, the paging cause feature was introduced to allow network to indicate to the UE whether the service is VoLTE\/VoNR, which can be used by the UE to prioritize VoLTE\/VoNR services in connection with MUSIM. All of these procedures are intended to allow predictable UE behaviour when MUSIM operation is used so networks can provide better UE performance.\nCT WGs have completed 90% of the MUSIM normative work for core network aspects in Q4 2021, and the target date of specification completion in RAN2 MUSIM WI is planned to be completed in Q1 2022, with the ASN.1 freezing date planned for Q2 2022. In addition, per the consensus in RP-213622 during the RAN#94e meeting, no RRM requirements related to MUSIM gaps will be introduced as part of the R17 MUSIM WI. In other words, the core specifications WI aspects will be completed soon, and only protocol standardization (e.g., measurement gap patterns) remains to be completed, so it is proper time to start the related conformance test work in RAN5.\n\tObjective:\n\tObjective of SI or Core part WI or Testing part WI\nThe objective of this work item is to define the UE conformance requirements corresponding to the WID on LTE\/NR Multi-SIM devices.

Many countries are making available more spectrum in FR1, such as 3.5 GHz, which is typically in higher frequencies than for LTE or 3G. Furthermore, compared to LTE, NR is designed to operate at much higher frequencies such as 28GHz or 39GHz in FR2. Due to the higher frequencies, it is inevitable that the wireless channel will be subject to higher path-loss making it more challenging to maintain an adequate quality of service that is at least equal to that of legacy RATs. \nThe Rel-17 study item \u201cStudy on NR coverage enhancements\u201d studied the enhancements of coverage for PUSCH, PUCCH and other channels\/signals.
