Discussions

    • Maybe something in the next meeting cycle?
  • #61 TS 26.512 Policy Template state change events
    • Maybe add something in Rel-18?
  • #82 TS 26.512: Media streaming session identifier
    • The need for an identifier that allows UE data (of the same or different types) to be correlated after their exposure as Events.
    • New Rel-18 feature versus essential correction to Rel-17?
    • Need for stage-2 motivation in TS 26.501?

Rel-18 issues for endorsement at SA4#126 Chicago
