[{"name":"SP-240057","title":"Rel-18 Work Item Exception for IBACS","source":"SA WG4","contact":"Antoine Burckard","contact-id":97796,"tdoctype":"WI exception request","for":"Approval","abstract":"Abstract of document: The main goal of IBACS is to enhance IMS communication with new functionalities that support AR media and experiences (e.g., AR conferencing). However, this is intrinsically linked to the functionality of other Release 18 work, in particular MeCAR, iRTCW, and 5G_RTP. Some delays, reshaping in objectives and confusions in the synchronisation with the other work items lead to the incompletion of IBACS in relation to the original planned timeline. Currently (end of SA WG4 meeting #127), TS 26.264 is incomplete, and we expect to complete the following outstanding features in the time of the exception: - Definition of AR Media and signalling in alignment with MECAR and IVAS - Completion and alignment with MECAR of missing AR Metadata functionality - Completion and alignment with 5G_RTP of missing AR Data Transport functionality - Consistency and alignment check on Release 18 features of other work items (MeCAR, iRTCW, and 5G_RTP) Contentious Issues: None.","secretary_remarks":"This WI EXCEPTION REQUEST was approved","agenda_item_sort_order":49,"ainumber":"6.3.4","ainame":"SA WG4 Revised Release 18 Study Item Descriptions and Work Item Descriptions","tdoc_agenda_sort_order":10940,"status":"approved","reservation_date":"2024-02-28 07:52:30","uploaded":"2024-03-01 17:35:56","revisionof":"","revisedto":"","release":"Rel-18","crspec":"","crspecversion":"","workitem":[{"winame":"IBACS"}],"crnumber":"","crrevision":"","crcategory":"","tsg_crp":"","lsreplyto":"","lsto":"","Cc":"","lsoriginalls":"","lsreply":"","link":"https:\/\/www.3gpp.org\/ftp\/TSG_SA\/TSG_SA\/TSGS_103_Maastricht_2024-03\/Docs\/SP-240057.zip","group":"SP","meeting":"SP-103","year":2024,"uicc_affected":"","me_affected":"","ran_affected":"","cn_affected":"","clauses_affected":"","crsinpack":null,"crsinpacknumber":0}]
