At a glance
New study descriptions address satellite continuity and IMS voice, while 6G studies examine AI services, data handling and QoS.
Proposals would extend continuity across terrestrial and satellite access and add binary signalling to NR NTN voice objectives.
The data framework discussion covers UE participation, multiple NFs and collection for AI model training.
QoS work examines intent input under CN authorization, alongside a substantial integrated sensing and communication study.

CATT proposes service continuity between TN and NTN access and between two satellite access networks. Viasat (with Skylo Technologies, Terrestar, Thuraya) proposes considering simultaneous calls per satellite cell when evaluating IMS voice over NTN.
The continuity proposal covers transitions between access networks, not just operation on one satellite link. The voice proposal would add binary-encoded signalling to NR NTN objectives alongside the IMS procedures already proposed for extension.
CATT
Proposal
Proposal 5: Enhance service continuity between TN-NTN and between 2 satellites access networks.
Proposal: SA2 is invited to: 1. take the number of simultaneous voice calls per satellite cell into account when evaluating S2-2612249, including in any LS ...
Study on Architecture for 6G System (FS_6G_ARC) - 6G Network for AI
Significance 36 of 100, 62 TDocs
Huawei (with HiSilicon) proposes defining NFs for AI services used by applications in the AF or UE. A separate proposal would use data framework functionality to collect data for AI model training.
The proposals put both service functions and a training-data collection path into the architecture discussion. Defining the functions does not by itself specify how training data is collected.
Huawei (with HiSilicon)
Proposal
Proposal 1: the Network Functions to support AI service for applications (AF or in UE) should be defined in key issue 19.
Study on Architecture for 6G System (FS_6G_ARC) - 6G data framework in SA WG2
Significance 33 of 100, 106 TDocs
vivo (with MediaTek, Futurewei) proposes treating the UE as both a data producer and consumer. Huawei (with HiSilicon) proposes a multiple-NF architecture for the 6G data framework.
These proposals address different design dimensions: who exchanges data and how framework functions are organized. UE participation remains a separate question from the proposed organization of framework NFs.
vivo (with MediaTek, Futurewei)
Proposal
Considering the currently identified use cases and, more importantly, extensibility, it proposes to treat the UE as data consumer and data producer of the 6G ...
Study on Architecture for 6G System (FS_6G_ARC) - QoS Framework for 6G
Significance 28 of 100, 89 TDocs
OPPO proposes considering RAN2 requirements for intent-related QoS input in KI#6 and KI#5. One question is whether UE or user intent can select or adapt treatment within a CN-authorized range.
The proposal also asks what deterministic QoS information can be provided to RAN. It treats operator control and authorization as questions for intent-derived input, rather than treating intent as an unrestricted command.
OPPO
Proposal
SA2 should consider RAN2’s requirements on intent QoS input when progressing KI#6 and KI#5, in particular: whether UE/user intent can be used to select or ...
