NEC proposes paging reception during DO-A service for Device type C

RAN2 is the working group NEC asked to confirm how the two services coexist. DO-A and DO-DTT name the services, while NEC numbered its scenarios Case 1 and Case 2. Device type C names the device category in NEC's contribution titles. At RAN2 #135, Case 1 asked how to handle A-IoT paging received while DO-A service was ongoing. A-IoT means Ambient Internet of Things in the paging reference. NEC's Case 2 asked: "When DO-DTT service is ongoing, how to handle the triggered DO-A service."

At RAN2 #135-bis, NEC moved from questions to proposed handling for both cases. For Case 1, NEC proposed that the device "will also monitor and receive A-IOT paging" during DO-A service. For Case 2, it proposed that the device can receive a DO-A trigger from a non-3GPP entity, such as a sensor, during DO-DTT service. NEC also proposed asking RAN1, the radio layer 1 working group, to confirm feasibility for both cases. Our reading: The proposed working assumption is provisional and revisitable, not a recorded group agreement. The register marks the RAN2 #135-bis paper not treated, meaning it was not discussed at that meeting. Neither contribution has a recorded decision.
