Clarifications on Work Split among TSG-X/A for 3GPP2 Network Evolution March 26, 2007 Airvana/Alcatel-Lucent/CTC/Fujitsu/ Hitachi/KDDI/NEC/Qualcomm/ZTE Notice Contributors grant a free, irrevocable license to 3GPP2 and its Organization Partners to incorporate text or other copyrightable material contained in the contribution and any modifications thereof in the creation of 3GPP2 publications; to copyright and sell in Organizational Partner’s name any Organizational Partner’s standards publication even though it may include portions of the contribution; and at the Organization Partner’s sole discretion to permit others to reproduce in whole or in part such contributions or the resulting Organizational Partner’s standards publication. Contributors are also willing to grant licenses under such contributor copyrights to third parties on reasonable, non-discriminatory terms and conditions for purpose of practicing an Organizational Partner’s standard which incorporates this contribution. This document has been prepared by the contributors to assist the development of specifications by 3GPP2. It is proposed to the Committee as a basis for discussion and is not to be construed as a binding proposal on the contributors.

Terms of Reference (ToR) TSG-A: –The TSG Access Network Interfaces (TSG-A) is responsible for the specifications of interfaces between the radio access network and core network, as well as within the Access Network. TSG-X: –The TSG Core Networks (TSG-X) is responsible for the specifications of the Core network part of systems, based on 3GPP2 specifications.

Conclusion There is no confusion at all on the work distribution between TSG-A and TSG-X –This is just a Clarification and FYI contribution! TSG-A and X must be responsible for their specifications based on current Terms of Reference Unless Terms of Reference of TSG-A and TSG-X are changed by SC, TSG-A and X work for network evolution must be progressed –Note that the schedules for completing network specifications in both TSG-A and TSG-X are very tight –We should not spend too much time on work distribution discussions
