2. ETSI BOARD STRATEGY 5G Communications Systems
Targets 2017
Performance
Define ETSI’s contribution to 5G standardisation – “what ETSI is doing on 5G”
Maintain/update the slideset on “ETSI’s contribution to 5G”
Identify opportunities for ETSI to collaborate with industry sectors and facilitate their engagement in 5G standardisation
Promote ETSI’s role in 5G
2017
Current Status
Year End Estimate
Achievements
Issues & Actions
Slideset “ETSI’s contribution to 5G” regularly updated
Three market sectors prioritised for consideration:
Transport: discussion on possible follow to workshop in Nov 2016
Utilities: ETSI attended meeting with DG Energy; need to review next steps
Factory automation
ISG NGP Chair presented NGP activities to 5GCOM. Some steps agreed around increasing visibility and linking to research
5GCOM recommends the Board requests a presentation from ISG NGP, possibly at the time ISG NGP requests an extension
Target Leader/Driver:

3. Proposal for future activities - Continuation of ongoing activities
Maintain the slideset on “ETSI’s contribution to 5G” and continue to promote ETSI’s role in 5G
Quarterly review content with TB and ISG chairs
Identify opportunities for ETSI to collaborate with industry sectors and facilitate their engagement in 5G standardisation
Why:
Meeting the needs of different industry sectors is a key aspect of 5G
How:
Prioritise industry sectors based on their current level of engagement, e.g.:
Some are already directly contributing to 5G standardisation -> may be no need for further action
Some are not connected to the 5G standardisation ecosystem -> ETSI may be able to help them get involved, e.g. support them in developing requirements to bring to ETSI/3GPP
Take actions to facilitate engagement in 5G standardisation
E.g. workshops, working with relevant associations/SDOs, requirements gathering
Identify opportunities to promote ETSI role in 5G standardisation (speaking, workshops)
Largely performed by the ETSI Secretariat
ETSI/BOARD(17)114_017

4. Proposal for future activities – New activities
Monitoring progress and completion of 5G standardisation in 3GPP, ETSI and other groups, and reacting if necessary
Supporting LTS actions
e.g. Long Term Technical Roadmap, Landscape existing activities, engagement with verticals/industry sectors
Making recommendations to the Board for ETSI’s role in the ITU IMT-2020 process, and reporting on this role
See next slides…

5. ETSI’s role in the ITU IMT-2020 process (1/2)
As part of the IMT-2020 process, the ITU has issued invitations:
for submission of proposals for candidate radio interface technologies for the terrestrial components of the radio interface(s) for IMT-2020
The submission window is from October 2017 to mid-2019
to participate in their subsequent evaluation
Registration as an evaluation group should be done before end 2017
3GPP is discussing its submission content and schedule
It has been proposed to provide an overview of the 3GPP submission to the ITU-R WP5D workshop in October 2017, and make an initial submission to the ITU-R WP5D meeting in February 2018
TC DECT is considering the potential for a DECT-based IMT-2020 submission

6. ETSI’s role in the ITU IMT-2020 process (2/2)
ETSI needs to decide:
Whether or not to register ETSI as an IMT-2020 Evaluation Group
which Radio Interface(s) to submit to the ITU IMT 2020 process.
These decisions are the prerogative of the GA
For IMT-Advanced, the GA requested the Board to establish an ad-hoc group to address these make recommendations
For IMT-2020, due to timing considerations, 5GCOM proposes 5GCOM addresses these matters and makes recommendations to the Board (for the Board to take to the GA)
Consequently, 5GCOM recommends the Board asks 5GCOM to:
Provide a recommendation to the Board on whether to register ETSI as an IMT-2020 Evaluation Group, and how such a group would function
Such recommendation to be provided to Board#114a for approval to take to GA#70 (28-29 Nov 2017), to allow registration (if agreed by GA) before end 2017
Provide recommendations on which, if any, radio interfaces (in addition to those developed by 3GPP) ETSI should submit to the IMT-2020 evaluation process
Such recommendations to be provided to allow GA decisions such that ITU-R submission timescales can be met
