End-to-end QoS
Editor’s Note: Appendix III was produced during the FG-IMT 2020 focus group in order to investigate gaps in standardization related to IMT-2020. While the request from SG-13 was to deliver a report outlining standardization gaps, the consensus of the focus group was that the working documents produced and used during the focus group work contained useful information for future work and should be captured. Note, however, the focus group concentrated on producing accurate descriptions of the standardization gaps in the main body of this document; some minor errors may exist in the appendices. They are, however, the output of the focus group but are provided for information only.
Editor’s Note: This appendix uses clause references in a form usually associated for normative text. This is maintained for this report to align with references made in the main body of this report.
This baseline document for a QoS framework for IMT-2020 is revised on related input documents, as well as discussions, feedback and suggestions received at the break-out session on QoS on the last Torino meeting.
The revision is as follows:
-
Addition of section 2, references
-
Two editor’s notes in relation to new parameters and measurement & monitoring
-
Some minor editorial corrections
======================
QoS framework for IMT-2020
Summary
This deliverable:
-
provides concepts and descriptions of Network Performance, Quality of Service and Quality of Experience
-
illustrates how the concepts are applied in IMT-2020, including the relationship between concepts
-
indicates and classifies concerns for which reference model and parameters can be needed
-
identifies generic guidance of performance parameters, QoS classes and its allocation
Editor’s Note: Depending on the developed contents of work items in the focus group (e.g., High-level Architecture, Network Softwarization and Use Case), this document may need to be revised.

Scope
This document introduces the high-level end-to-end QoS/QoE requirements of IMT-2020. Basic terminologies and concepts are defined and attributes are developed independent of the underlying technology. With a view to facilitating future enhancements, the main body of the document describes the topic in general. It is noted that the descriptions of QoS in the document are designed to identify the customer’s QoS/QoE requirements for various use cases and applications in IMT-2020, and the QoS requirements for service providers to offer could be derived accordingly. Consequently, future studies will be able to determine network technologies and architectures that can efficiently achieve the desired QoS/QoE requirements in IMT-2020.
The objective of this document is to describe the following:
-
Overview of expected study areas, categorization, and definition of terminologies
-
Gap analysis of activities of ITU and other organizations relevant to QoS/QoE of IMT-2020
-
Reference models and performance parameters
-
General guidance of performance parameters, QoS classes and their allocation
-
Issues and items that need to be addressed by standards supporting IMT-2020
