Study on group based enhancements in the network capability exposure functions
The present document aims at identifying group-based enhancements in the 3GPP capability exposure functions.
The network capability exposure functions introduced within the MONTE and AESE work items apply on a per-UE basis. The study shall investigate whether these network capability exposure functions can benefit from being performed based on a per-group basis.
The target procedures are the Monitoring procedures (clause 5.6 in TS 23.682 [2]) and the Communication Pattern Parameters Provisioning procedure (clause 5.10 in TS 23.682 [2]).
NOTE: The Group Message Delivery using MBMS procedure is performed based on a per-group basis.
