Functionality for Upper User Plane and related functional requirementsFollowAsk Scout
A separate proposal from vivo would study splitting L2 multiplexing between MAC-level inter-LCH and RLC-level intra-LCH functions. That study aims to support pre-processing while reducing L2 header overhead.
vivo
Proposal
RAN2 to study splitting L2 multiplexing function into a MAC-level inter-LCH multiplexing and an RLC-level intra-LCH multiplexing, in order to achieve both pre-processing and reduced ...
Connected mode mobility has 52 TDocs. For early DL/UL synchronization without pre-configured candidate cells, vivo proposes pre-configuring the sync configuration for the target cell.
A proposal from vivo and ten co-signers studies proximity-based, measurement-based and prediction-based identification of pain point areas. It leaves FFS how the network provides area information, which measurement quantities and events apply, and how prediction works and what assistance it needs.
vivo
Proposal
To support early DL/UL synchronization without pre-configuration of candidate cells, configuration for early DL/UL synchronization should be pre-configured for the target cell.
vivo (with China Mobile, Samsung, NTT DOCOMO, TCL, NEC, ZTE, China Unicom, CAICT, Lenovo, Xiaomi)
Proposal
Study the following three types methods of pain point areas identification: Proximity-based method: the UE determines, based on network-provided area information and UE implementation, whether ...
A proposal from vivo studies dynamic activation and deactivation of measurement and reporting configurations. It starts from Rel-20 MAC CE control of L1 configurations and considers extension to other use cases, including L3.
vivo
Proposal
RAN2 to study the dynamic control of measurement and report configuration: reusing R20 MAC CE-based dynamic activation/deactivation of L1 measurement and reporting configurations as starting ...
Their proposal gives target-cell selection to the source cell and the decision on sensing continuation to the target cell. Proposals from vivo and CAICT examine Rx SenE-UE sensing measurement acquisition, with reporting to SF or RAN, or local acquisition without reporting.
vivo (with CAICT)
Proposal
Proposal 3: RAN2 should further investigate sensing measurement acquisition and reporting mechanisms for the Rx SenE-UE with the following design options: - UE acquires measurements ...
Energy efficiency has 35 TDocs. China Telecom proposes dynamic C-DRX cycle adaptation under what it describes as an agreed network-controlled adaptation framework.
A proposal from vivo says 6G should not support C-DRX cycle adaptation. The positions appear to conflict, but their scope may differ because the vivo proposal does not specify whether it covers network-controlled adaptation.

C-DRX cycle adaptation
China Telecom
Proposes
RAN2 to support dynamic adaptation of the C-DRX cycle under the agreed network-controlled adaptation framework, taking into account traffic characteristics and dynamic QoS requirements.
