GSC-19 brought together 92 delegates from various organizations to discuss critical communications, IoT, and IMT-2020/5G. Topics covered included public safety, IoT standardization, and collaboration on spectrum and network aspects. The meeting also introduced a new discussion format called "World Café" to foster engaging conversations. GSC-20 and beyond were planned, with new members ISO and IEC joining the group.

Attendance: 92 Attendance GSC-19: 92 delegates • Guests: 18 • 3GPP: 1 • 4G Americas: 1 • 5G Forum: 1 • 5G PPP: 1 • 5GMF: 1 • BBF: 1 • EC: 2 • IEC, ISO, ISO/IEC JTC1: 6 • MEF: 1 • NGMN: 1 • OMA: 1 • TCCA: 1 Members: 74 (in parentheses: GSC-18) • ARIB : 6 (6) • ATIS : 8 (6) • CCSA : 6 (6) • ETSI : 10 (16 incl GSC Secr.) • IEEE-SA : 5 (7) • ITU : 10 (4) • TIA : 10 (5) • TSDSI: 3 • TTA : 9 (10) • TTC : 7 (5)
Three strategic topics • Strategic Topic #1: Critical Communications and public safety (12 presentations) • Strategic Topic #2: IoT (includes M2M, smart cities, smart cars) • New discussion format tried: “World Café” (small discussion groups, town-hall discussion, no presentations) • Strategic Topic #3: IMT-2020/5G (covers spectrum topics and network architecture, also Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV)) (11 presentations)
Critical Comms and Public Safety • Focus on public safety • Many GSC members desire global set of common public safety specs in 3GPP • Interoperability between LMR (Land Mobile Radio) systems and LTE (Long Term Evolution) broadband systems is critical • Many GSC Members indicated a desire for a global and common spectrum for public safety • Critical Comms community was encouraged to provide input to 5G requirements
IoT (includes M2M, smart cities, smart) • New discussion format tried: • “World café” style in a room with tables of 8 and assigned seating to ensure that delegates mingle; • discussions on tables of 8, then key summary shared and collected by facilitator • Among questions debated: • Complexity of today’s IoT standardization landscape: too many, too few initiatives? Overlaps? Gaps? Why? Alternatives? • What role can GSC and GSC members play to get closer to other domains (“sectors”, “verticals”)? • Try to identify some potential and high level actions
Collaboration on IMT-2020/5G (spectrum, network architecture, NFV) • Collaboration proposals for spectrum aspects • Share study results • Support national/regional activities for WRC-15/19 • Provide common views to regulators • Frequency sharing studies needed • Radio propagation measurements and channel modeling for > 6 GHz needed • Collaboration proposals for network aspects • To have opportunities for multilateral communication for network technologies • Support industry gap analysis sharing inputs form relevant SDOs
GSC-20 and beyond • GSC-20: 26 -27 April 2016, hosted by TSDSI • New Members: ISO and IEC • GSC-21 hosted by IEEE-SA in 2017 • GSC-22 hosted by ATIS/TIA in 2018 • GSC-23 hosted by CCSA in 2019 • GSC-24 hosted by ARIB/TTC in 2020
