Question/Remark 1: With respect to Project Magma and its support to EPC, which 5G Option definition (as defined by 3GPP and GSM attached below) the 5G Super Blueprint follows/implements so that the “Super Blueprint Project” derives its reference to be denoted as “5G”?
In case that there is any member Project that can supply NR Solution to 5G Super Blueprint Project (as specified by 3GPP and O-RAN Alliance utilizing the IAB (Integrated and Access Backhaul solution)), with reference to current Member Magma project involvement for supply of CN functionality and recent media press release on MNOs launch of voice over NR (with indications a year ago that voice over NR would have a fall back to EPC), could the 5G Super Blueprint Project consider as an option to utilize/explore within 5G Super Blueprint the Solution “Voice over NR” as an UC?
Please see below some reference information related to the remark’s content above:
Is it worthwhile to check with LF ONAP Enterprise Task Force about AT&T’s current plans, interest and/or availability of resources of VoLTE to be involved with Voice over NR?
Question-Remark 2: Is there available a written input from the circled in red circle in the below LFN 5G Super Blueprint infographic participating LF Mmeber Projects:
- How are the respective Projects “related”/connected” to “5G” in terms of providing information about the respective 3GPP Releases, Architecture/Applications/ Services Requirements/Security/Management etc, that they support/implement?
The Purpose with this “inventory requirement” and outcome, could be twofold:
First, to verify the respective project relevance with 3GPP Specifications for 5G and therein prevent/avoid ground for undermining not only credibility of the 5G Super Blueprint as a Project pursuing 5G evolvement within LFN, but also, in case that the respective Projects are not involved with 5G, to contain and prevent the risk from that “disconnection/lack of relevance” to cause any mistrust and doubt to be spread/shift/spill over to the rest of the Member Projects participating at the 5G Super Blueprint Project as shown on the infographic below.
Second, when being able to identify with which 3GPP Release Specifications, related to 5G and/or 5G Advanced (TRs), the respective LF Member Project(s) is/are involved with, the LFN 5G Super Blueprint prepare a plan about assist with providing information about the relevant specifications evolvement within 3GPP (as e.g. related to 3GPP “5G Advanced” Release) and in this way assist and contribute to the respective Member project Roadmap evolvement related to 5G & 5G Advanced.
Example info attached below on 3GPP decision in 2019 for “full wired Ethernet replacement (with Wireless connections) in factories and latest evolvement by 2021 related to that (as part of the 3GPP Specifications for Verticals and FoF (Factory of the Future).
