3GPP WID for Release 17

This 3GPP work item under SA1 for Release 17 is aimed at identifying more specific 5G service requirements for cyber-physical control applications in vertical domains, 5G service requirements on enhancements for cyber-physical control applications in vertical domains, and new 5G service requirements for specific aspects with respect to the Rel-16 baseline. 

By specifying further cyberCAV Stage 1, the work focuses on:

• Industrial Ethernet integration, which includes time synchronisation, different time domains, integration scenarios, and support for time-sensitive networking(TSN).
• High-level requirements for network operation and maintenance in 5G non-public networks for cyber-physical control applications in vertical domains. 
• Positioning with a focus on vertical directions/dimensions for Industrial IoT. 

Work in eCAV may be updated to reflect further progress of FS_eCAV (TR 22.832; SP-190092), such as non-public network, further aspects of network operation and maintenance in 5G non-public networks, and network performance requirements descried in FS_eCAV. 

• Rapporteurs and Supporting Members (SIMs): The Rapporteur of eCAV Stage 1 840041 (SP-190310) is Siemens AG. EU SIMs include the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi), Volkswagen AG and Fraunhofer IIS alongside EU and global supply-side companies. 
• Related work: The work item is based on corresponding studies in Rel-17, especially FS_eCAV, and the assessment of respective mechanisms by individual members and relevant cyber-physical control and automation industry organisations, such as 5G-ACIA (Alliance for Connected Industry and Automation).
