8 Conformity Assessment Steering Committee

The fourteenth meeting of the ITU-T Conformity Assessment Steering Committee (CASC) was held on 8 July 2022 during the ITU-T SG11 meeting.

TSB gave a comprehensive presentation about progress on ITU Testing Laboratory (TL) recognition procedure which is based on collaboration with ILAC (SG11-TD123/GEN). The presentation highlights the key achievements of CASC in the last study period and describe the current TL recognition in place. The presentation also covers aspects related to recent updates made in Resolution 76 during WTSA-20.

ILAC representative gave a presentation about ILAC-ITU collaboration (SG11-TD144/GEN). It was noted that ITU, ILAC and IAF finalized the updated MoU which among other activities includes a new TL recognition procedure. It is supposed to be signed shortly. Also, it was noted that in order to support the ITU recognition procedure ILAC is developing its own assessment procedure to explain the operation of the set-up. The assessment procedure will be a separate standalone document of ILAC similar to the joint assessment procedure published the OIML CS. There is a plan to adopt a new ILAC procedure in 2022.

Based on received contribution, CASC revised its ToR. Finally, the revised ToR was approved at the SG11 closing plenary on 15 July 2022. The approved text of ToR is available in SG11-TD153/GEN.

Also, based on received contribution, CASC revised a guideline on Testing Laboratory recognition procedure. It was aligned with Resolution 76 of WTSA-20 and recent achievements of CASC in the previous study period. The revised Guideline was approved at the SG11 closing plenary on 15 July 2022. The approved text of the Guideline is available in SG11-TD154/GEN.

Following the TSB Circular 368, as of 6 July 2022, TSB received several requests from TLs seeking ITU recognition. All of them were noted and TSB was asked to process applications according to the requirements indicated in the ITU-T Guideline “Testing Laboratories recognition procedure”.

Finally, CASC agreed the format of visuality of TLs recognized by ITU on C&I portal (http://itu.int/go/citest).

Two outgoing liaison statements were sent to all ITU-T Study Groups.

More details are available in the ITU-T CASC Report.

The next CASC meeting is planned on 28 April 2023 (TBC). It will be held during next SG11 meeting (26 April – 5 May 2023, TBA). More information is available on the CASC webpage.

9 Signalling and protocols, including IMT-2020 and P2P communications related issues

At this meeting, SG11 consented the following draft new Recommendations:

ITU-T Q.3406 (ex. Q.telemetry-VBNS) “Signalling requirements for telemetry of virtual broadband network services”;
ITU-T Q.3721 (ex Q.BNG-P4switch) “Procedures for Programming Protocol-Independent Packet Processors(p4) Switch-based vBNG”.

SG11 started several new work items, as follows:

With regard to IMT-2020 related aspects, in July 2022 SG11 consented draft new Recommendation ITU-T Q.5025 (ex Q.PMUPF) “Protocol for managing User Plane function in IMT-2020 network”.

SG11 started a new work item on IMT-2020 aspects – Q.PEC: Signalling Requirements and Protocols for enhanced quality assured connections in IMT-2020 network and beyond.

Regarding managed P2P communications, SG11 started a new work item Q.HP2P-fvsigreq “Hybrid P2P communications: signalling requirements for feature-based video services”.

More information about these results is available in the WP1/11 and WP2/11 reports (SG11-TD109-R1/GEN and SG11-TD110-R1/GEN).

10 Signalling of Computing Power Networks (CPN) and Computing Network Convergence (CNC)

SG11 has made progress on relevant ongoing work items on CPN as follows:

Q.CPN-TP-SA: Signalling architecture of transaction platform in CPN (Q1/11);
Q.CPN: Signalling requirements for computing power network (Q4/11);
Q.BNG-INC: Requirements and signalling of intelligence control for the border network gateway in computing power network (Q5/11);
Q.PCNC-FMSC: Protocol for supporting computing and network convergence in fixed, mobile and satellite convergence in IMT-2020 network and beyond (Q6/11).

SG11 started several new work items, as follows:

Q.CSO: Signalling requirements for cross-domain service orchestration of the computing and network convergence (Q4/11);
Q.SASO: Signalling architecture of service orchestration for computing and network convergence (Q1/11);
Q.CNCP: Set of parameters for monitoring computing and network convergence (Q13/11).

During its meeting, SG11 noted that there are different terms such as CNC and CPN and the relationship between them is not clear. Also, it was noted that similar discussion on Computing Network Convergence (CNC) related work took place at the SG13 meeting which was collocated with SG11. The meeting requested SG11 Chairman to discuss this issue with SG13 Chairman in order to identify the best way forward for SG11 on creation of new work items related to CNC. The decision about the creation of Q.CNCP was transferred to SG11 closing plenary meeting (Geneva, 15 July 2022).

Following discussion at the SG11 closing plenary, it was decided to start the above-mentioned new WIs but editors and respective Rapporteurs need to join SG13 ad-hoc meeting and take into account the outcomes of this discussion in respective WIs. It was noted that the title and the scope of the WIs can be modified based on results of the ad-hoc discussion. Ying CHENG (Q4/11 Rapporteur) was appointed as a focal point on collaboration with this ad-hoc and was requested to report about results of this discussion at the next WP1/11 and WP3/11 meetings (7 December 2022, TBA).

More information about these results is available in the WP1/11 and WP3/11 reports respectively (SG11-TD109-R1/GEN and SG11-TD111-R1/GEN).

11 QKDN protocols

SG11 has made progress on QKDN signalling requirements and protocols, including:

Q.QKDN_profr “Quantum key distribution networks – Protocol framework”
Q.QKDN_Ak “Protocols for Ak interface for QKDN”;
Q.QKDN_Kx “Protocols for Kx interface for QKDN”;
Q.QKDN_Kq-1 “Protocols for Kq-1 interface for QKDN”;
Q.QKDN_Ck “Protocols for Ck interface for QKDN”.

Q2/11 joined the Co-located Quantum (CQ) meeting with Q6/13, Q16/13 and Q15/17 on Thursday, 7 July 2022. The outcomes of FG QIT4N (SG11-TD16/GEN) were reviewed in the CQ meeting. It also discussed about how to transfer the deliverables of FG-QIT4N to the quantum relevant questions.

More information about these results is available in the WP1/11 report (SG11-TD109-R1/GEN).

12 Signalling security

SG2 and SG17 provided their replies on Q.Pro-Trust and Q.CIDA, which consent was postponed from previous SG11 meeting (December 2021) until this particular meeting. The comments provided by SG17 were discussed and incorporated in the final baseline texts of ITU-T Q.3062 (ex. Q.Pro-Trust) and ITU-T Q.3063 (ex. Q.CIDA) respectively.

SG11 consented ITU-T Q.3062 (ex Q.Pro-Trust) and ITU-T Q.3063 (ex. Q.CIDA) at this meeting, but will defer the last call for comments to the end of August 2022, which will allow SG17 to review the consented Recommendations and submit their comments, if any, directly to the last call before it is approved.

More information about these results is available in the WP1/11 report (SG11-TD109-R1/GEN).

13 VoNR/ViNR and IMS-related signalling and testing issues

As a continuation of previous SG11 activities on VoLTE/ViLTE interconnection issues, SG11 started two new work items related to interconnection testing of Voice, Video over New Radio, as follows:

Q.FW-IVV5G: Framework for interconnection testing of Voice, Video over 5G;
Q.VoiNR-test: VoNR/ViNR interconnection testing for interworking and roaming scenarios.

It was noted that Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and Voice over New Radio (VoNR) utilize the same IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) as defined in 3GPP. While the IP IMS framework remains the same, technological improvements in radio, core and devices are expected to provide superior user experience in VoNR compared to VoLTE.

Also, SG11 achieved good progress on ITU-T Q.Sig_Req_ETS_IMS_roaming and Q.LiteIMS-SA. It is expected that the baseline texts will be finalized by the end of 2022.

More information about these results is available in the WP1/11 and WP3/11 reports respectively (SG11-TD109-R1/GEN and SG11-TD111-R1/GEN).

14 Testing specifications, monitoring and implementation of ITU C&I Programme

SG11 consented draft new Recommendation ITU-T Q.4069 (ex.Q.GDC-IoT-test) “Testing requirements and procedures for Internet of Things based green data centres”.

Several new work items on testing and monitoring were started at the meeting, as follows:

Q.RI_PISRM: Requirements and reference model of resource integration and protocol independent method for source routing measurements;
TR.MPLRA: Requirements and architecture for monitoring packet loss caused by network congestion;
Q.Scvh-iopt: Interoperability testing between SDN and hypervisor based computing virtualization.

Also, SG11 discontinued one stale work item – Q.PR-MF: Methodology of performance requirements for reliable comparison of measurement results.

Following inputs received from several SGs, SG11 updated the reference table of ITU-T Recommendations suitable for conformance and interoperability testing (SG11-TD155/GEN).

More information about these results is available in the WP3/11 report (SG11-TD111-R1/GEN).

15 Deletion of UPT-related Recommendations

Following the liaison statement that SG11 received from SG2 on deletion of ITU-T Recommendations related to Universal Personal Telecommunication (UPT) (see SG11-TD49/GEN), SG11 has made observation on this issue.

At the time these Recommendations were approved, the concept of universal personal telecommunication (UPT) utilized specific technology and service concepts. In the decades since then, the technology has evolved.

From SG11 perspective, the UPT-related services specified in ITU-T Recommendations no longer exist. As such, the suite of UPT-related Recommendations is no longer relevant. Given this rationale, SG11 has advised the TSB Director to initiate the deletion procedure of the following Recommendations developed by SG11:

ITU-T Q.1521 (2000) Requirements on underlying networks and signalling protocols to support UPT
ITU-T Q.1531 (2000) UPT security requirements for Service Set 1
ITU-T Q.1541 (1998) UPT stage 2 for Service Set 1 on IN CS-1 – Procedures for universal personal telecommunication: Functional modelling and information flows
ITU-T Q.1542 (2000) UPT stage 2 for Service Set 1 on IN CS-2 – Procedures for universal personal telecommunication: Functional modelling and information flows
ITU-T Q.1551 (1997) Application of Intelligent Network Application Protocols (INAP) CS-1 for UPT service set 1

Also, SG11 recognizes the necessity to revise some Recommendations by removing the references to suppressed ITU-T Recommendation related to UPT and amending the text concerning UPT terminology accordingly. Among them are:

ITU-T Q.76 (1995) Service procedures for Universal Personal Telecommunication - Functional modelling and information flows
ITU-T Q.1219 (1994) Intelligent network user's guide for Capability Set 1
ITU-T Q.1221 (1997) Introduction to intelligent network Capability Set 2
ITU-T Q.1244 (2001) Distributed functional plane for Intelligent Network Capability Set 4
ITU-T Q.1290 (1998) Glossary of terms used in the definition of intelligent networks
ITU-T Q.1711 (1999) Network functional model for IMT-2000
ITU-T Q.1761 (2004) Principles and requirements for convergence of fixed and existing IMT-2000 systems

The relevant response was also sent to SG2 and all ITU-T SGs for information (SG11-TD192-R1/GEN).

More details are available in the WP1/11 report (SG11-TD109-R1/GEN).

16 Combating counterfeit telecommunication/ICT devices/software and mobile device theft

SG11 started two new work items:

Q.CEIR: Technical requirement, interfaces and generic functions of CEIR;
Q.CCF-CCSD: Consumer centric framework for combating counterfeit and stolen ICT mobile devices.

SG11 progressed well on all ongoing work items related to combating counterfeit telecommunication/ICT devices/software.

More information about these results is available in the WP4/11 report (SG11-TD112-R1/GEN).

17 New ITU-T Focus Group on Testbeds Federations for IMT-2020 and beyond (FG-TBFxG)

Following establishment of the ITU-T Focus Group on Testbeds Federations for IMT-2020 and beyond (FG-TBFxG) in December 2021, FG-TBFxG reported to SG11 on its progress after its first meeting in April 2022.

Among achieved results:

FG started 11 work items;
Appointed 5 additional Vice-chairmen;
Conducted 6 interim WGs e-meetings;
Initiated a call for use cases on federated testbeds.

The second FG-TBFxG meeting will be held fully virtually from 19 to 21 July 2022.
