Meeting REport of working group on service applications
- Introduction
The Working Group on Services and Applications (WG-S&A) met three times during AWG-21. The works of WG-S&A are based on the revised AWG structure agreed at the AWG-20 meeting. At the first session of WG-S&A, the objectives of the four Task Groups (TG) were introduced. The input documents for WG-S&A were assigned to each Task Groups for the review and consideration. At the second WG-S&A meeting, the meeting results of the Task Groups were reported.
In summary, WG-SA produced 7 output documents and would like to ask AWG-21 Plenary to considerfor approval on:
- 2 Liaison Statements,
- 1 Questionnaire,
- 2APTReports,
- 1 Revised APT Report,
- 1 AWG Workshop proposal.
These documents provide, in summary form, the meeting activities of Task Groups and the WG-S&A plenary meeting (with agenda in documents AWG-21/ADM-08Rev.1 and AWG-21/ADM-40Rev.1).
- WG S&A Meeting Results
- Liaison Statements
TG-RR replied to Liaison statement to ITU-R WP5A (AWG-21/OUT-07). The WG-S&A meeting agreed to submit it forLiaison Statements to the plenary for approval.
TG-RR also developed Liaison statement to APG-19 (AWG-21/OUT-08) together with WG-Tech. The WG-S&A meeting agreed to submit it forLiaison Statements to the plenary for approval.
- Updated Workplan of TGs in WG-SA
In WG-SA meeting,all TG updated their workplans. Two workplans in TG-MSA has been completed, where the remaining workplan is “APT Report on the integration of satellite technology into the 5G ecosystem”.
TG-AM deleted the micro workplan of the survey report of ARNS system usage in APT region, because it is finalized.On the other hand, TG-AM added a new micro workplan of developing a “New APT report onbroadband wireless air-to-groundcommunications links with passenger aircraft”.The meeting agreed to submit those updated workplans to the AWG plenary for approval.
