When a release is frozen in RAN4 the non-completed CA\/DC configurations are moved to the next release. \nRAN5 WIs are deemed completed when the supporting companies of the RAN5 WI consider the necessary test coverage have been completed. This is straight forward when the number of configurations in a WI is limited within the WI scope. For RAN5 basket-WIs including large number of CA\/DC configurations it is not feasible to accurately estimate the completion date as RAN5 does not have the option to move non-completed configurations to the next release; and the industry deployment interest or time of deployment may have changed since they were initially introduced in RAN4 and thus may be introduced in RAN5 much later. \nThe experience of RAN5 basket-WI item approach for CA\/DC configurations so far is that completion rate, considering all configurations in the scope of the WI, is stagnant and cause the WI to never end. It is evident it doesn\u2019t work and is not practical to meet key stakeholders need for knowing the status of specific CA\/DC configurations of interest. Thus, there is a need to come up with a more practical plan that not only facilitates test definition for Operator interested CA\/DC configurations but also capture the status in a common place for ease referencing and use by key stakeholders. For stakeholders of RAN5 test specifications the most important is to have clear status of which configurations have been completed, which are ongoing, and which configurations are pending and not ready for contributions yet due to changed industry interest or time of deployment.  \nThe purpose of this document is to discuss and propose a way forward for CA\/DC configurations in RAN5 WIs. The following topics are addressed:\n-\tProviding overview of status of CA\/DC configurations to key stakeholders of RAN5 test specifications; and\n-\tMapping between RAN4 and RAN5 basket-WIs; and\n-\tStatus reporting of RAN5 basket-WIs to RAN and capturing of the status in 3GPP work plan.","secretary_remarks":"","agenda_item_sort_order":10,"ainumber":"4.2.2","ainame":"\tAll other topics","tdoc_agenda_sort_order":9930,"status":"revised","reservation_date":"2023-02-17 08:33:27","uploaded":"2023-02-17 15:07:28","revisionof":"","revisedto":"R5-231396","release":"","crspec":"","crspecversion":"","workitem":"","crnumber":"","crrevision":"","crcategory":"","tsg_crp":"","lsreplyto":"","lsto":"","Cc":"","lsoriginalls":"","lsreply":"","link":"https:\/\/www.3gpp.org\/ftp\/TSG_RAN\/WG5_Test_ex-T1\/TSGR5_98_Athens\/Docs\/R5-230993.zip","group":"R5","meeting":"R5-98","year":2023,"uicc_affected":"","me_affected":"","ran_affected":"","cn_affected":"","clauses_affected":"","crsinpack":null,"crsinpacknumber":0}]
