TS26.501 - Add ANBR to the list of abbreviations

[dsilhavy]

Problem description

TS26.501 v18.3.1 used the abbreviation ANBR frequently. I couldn't find any part of the specification that introduces this abbreviation and it is not included in the list of abbreviations in clause 3.3.

Clause 3.3 also references TR 21.905, but I was unable to find the ANBR abbreviation defined there either.

Proposed remedy

I suggest adding ANBR to the list of abbreviations in TS 26.501 clause 3.3.

According to the ETSI TEDDI tool, ANBR is short for "Access Network Bit rate Recommendation". (This is the definition used in TS 26.512, for example.)

Hi Richard, Just came across this by chance, well also realising I might have missed some important mails that week I was in Tokyo. So, sorry for the delay. Has this already been included in another CR in the mean time? Anyway, I think ANBR stands for Access Network Bit rate Recommendation, but I’m not 100% sure. I checked TS 38.321, where I would have expected it to be defined, but it’s not there. I cc. Imed and Thomas, maybe they can verify this. BTW, my github handle is zooksy. I’ve just updated my profile to not be so anonymous 😊. Cheers, Paul.

Thanks, Paul. If you have time, it would be good to draft a CR to TS 26.501 providing a definition of the missing ANBR abbreviation to address this issue.

Just to confirm, I will submit CRs for this, so far I think going back to Rel-16. Cheers, Paul.

(Just reopening while we wait for this to go through the final couple of stages: SA Plenary approval and, finally, publication.)
