Profile specifications

• Describe e.g., definition of IEs, general behavior of each node, etc. which is not sufficiently specified in 3GPP specifications

NOTE: The profiles discussed by WG5 shall not violate 3GPP specifications

O&M requirements

• Collect and specify O&M related requirements resulting from control- and user-plane related activities (e.g. alarms, configurations, monitoring, performance counters) and communicate them to other WGs (specifically to WG10 for the O1 interface)

IOT specifications

• Specifications for inter-operability testing of higher layer split profiled use cases and D2 interface

Potential enhancements of 3GPP specifications (F1/E1/W1/X2/Xn)

• Gap analysis between 3GPP spec and fully operable multi-vendor spec
• If needed (i.e. in critical cases) identify and propose functions to be added to the 3GPP specifications (O-RAN participating companies may submit proposals to 3GPP)

Specification of D2 interface between O-DUs

• General Aspects and Procedure for the D2 interface.
• Message specifications for D2 interface.
