Ike Alisson This section includes some of the Ike Alisson's questions and remarks expressed during the his presentation on 3GPP 5G and 5G Advanced releases selected Capabilities on June 7th, 2022 to the LFN 5G Super Blueprint Project meeting (Ref.: 06-07-22 - 5G SBP Off-Week Working Group Meeting).
The remarks made during the presentation were expressed in form of “questions” to enable the recipients to judge the relevance to and/or importance for the 5G Super Blueprint and therein determine whether to consider to further pursue to find an answer or have a discussion to determine whether the raised questions and remark are worthwhile to be pursued.

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).
Question - Remark 3 on the 5G Super Blueprint intended discission on identifying “relevant” UCs for 5G”.
The 5G Super Blueprint Project had initiated discussion on “identifying the relevant UCs for 5G.
Question 1: Is the purpose/objective of the 5G Super Blueprint Project to identify, then outline, categorize and group the Member Projects selection of specified by 3GPP WG SA1 Service Requirements and afterwards to assist with information on the specifications from the rest of the 3GPP WGs (SA2-SA6) as well as 3GPP Specifications for TN and RAN specifications? (please see attached below info on 3GPP WGs SA1- SA6)? or
Question 2: Is the 5G Super Blueprint intends to discuss the “preliminary/tentative” interest in potential 5G Use Cases (UCs) and once the respective UCs are identified to undertake within the 5G Super Blueprint build-up of small groups that can undertake the Functional role, similar to 3GPP WGs SA1-to-SA6 to identify e.g. Requirements, Architecture, Security, Multimedia, Management, Applications and apply the Open Source SW Dev Ops Business Model (please see below) to promote the use of Cloud-native Mechanisms? (please see further below on the difference between use of SW Telco Business Model (“aaP”) and Open Source DevOps Business Model “SaaS” (SW as a Service”):
With respect to the above, it might be worthwhile to take into account the following:
Difference in Business Models between Telcos in terms of “aaP” (as a Product implementing 3GPP specifications) and Open Source SW DevOps Business Model “SaaS” (SW as a Service). Below attached an infographic on that:
Diminishing importance of using Open Source SW as a mean to lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
The above made remark about the use of Open Source SW use as a mean to lower TCO needs to be updated. It might be worthwhile to get aware about the change and shift in the priority related to use of Open Source SW in this context.
Please see below from Red Hat’s reports from 2021 and 2022 about the outcome related to use of Open Source SW as a mean to lower TCO.
Question – Remark: With respect to the 3GPP EDGEAPP Architecture (evolvement) related to enabling Applications on “the Edge”, aligned evolvement with ETSI MEC Architecture for supply and commissioning of E2E Applications, as foreseen by GSMA OPG (please see further information on that below), would 5G Super Blueprint undertake any activity?
Please see below some general information on the subject:
