Guidelines for extraterritorial 5G Systems (5GS)
The present document identifies use cases and associated guidelines for the provision of services when a 5G public network has an extraterritoriality access component.
This Technical Report (TR) addresses:
- Use cases and associated conditions generating extraterritoriality of public 5G systems (e.g. HAPS covering multiple countries, satellite access covering international waters, aeronautical networks),
- 3GPP features (e.g. emergency calls, PWS, LI, charging) and technical aspects (e.g. MCC/MNC, location of UE/NW) for which extraterritoriality may be relevant, and types of regulations that may be applicable.
- Guidelines on the fulfilment of relevant regulatory requirements (e.g. routing to a core network in a specific country, use of MCC).
This 900 series TR is meant to serve as the basis for technical work in other 3GPP Working Groups when considering the above topics. This TR is not normative. It has been developed by SA1 to capture relevant high-level considerations associated with of the provision of 5G public network and access services in extraterritorial contexts, and provide corresponding guidelines.
