[{"name":"R5-227389","title":"LS to 3GPP CT6 to review mandate of the implementation of UI\/MMI features for Wearable form factors","source":"GCF CAG","contact":"Ingbert Sigovich","contact-id":28887,"tdoctype":"LS in","for":"Information","abstract":"Document CAG-22-253 was presented and discussed during the CAG#72 meeting.  The discussion raised important points about the risks related to maintaining the status-quo of the mandates of certain radio features that may either not be practical to implement in certain form factors such as Wearables or, due to the evolution of use cases, are no longer useful.\nMaintaining such mandates on OEMs forces the implementation of the features simply for the sake of certification and not for use by the end user or product stakeholders (eg. network operators) when commercialized.\nAn example is an OEM certifying a wearable product must support mandated SAT and USAT test cases where there is no apparent end-user impact for the UI\/MMI and due to the mandate these tests are not able to be marked as not applicable.\nThere should be a mechanism available for OEMs of these types of devices to allow them not to certify such features and therefore leave it disabled.\nGCF CAG thanks 3GPP CT6 and looks forward to further fruitful collaboration.\nActions: GCF CAG kindly requests CT6 review the necessity for the mandate of the implementation and explore ways of making these features optional for devices such as wearables.","secretary_remarks":"","agenda_item_sort_order":39,"ainumber":"7.2.3","ainame":"\tOther open issues from joint sessions - original A.I. retained","tdoc_agenda_sort_order":738900,"status":"noted","reservation_date":"2022-11-23 15:27:33","uploaded":"2022-11-23 15:31:14","revisionof":"","revisedto":"","release":"","crspec":"","crspecversion":"","workitem":"","crnumber":"","crrevision":"","crcategory":"","tsg_crp":"","lsreplyto":"","lsto":"","Cc":"","lsoriginalls":"CAG-22-322","lsreply":"","link":"https:\/\/www.3gpp.org\/ftp\/TSG_RAN\/WG5_Test_ex-T1\/TSGR5_97_Toulouse\/Docs\/R5-227389.zip","group":"R5","meeting":"R5-97","year":2022,"uicc_affected":"","me_affected":"","ran_affected":"","cn_affected":"","clauses_affected":"","crsinpack":null,"crsinpacknumber":0}]
