Feedback and Requirements to Standards Bodies

Shaping standards through concrete requirements and experienced-based feedback — submitted to SDOs.

Why Feedback & Requirements

Advancing standardization with implementation and experience-based feedback.

Active engagement with standards bodies

Direct participation in the standards process, not just commentary from the outside.

Requirements based on application needs

Requirements drawn from real deployment experience, not theoretical scenarios.

Identification of bugs and enhancements

Implementation work surfaces specification gaps early, before they become costly to fix once a standard is frozen.

Feedback to SDOs

Feedback, requirements and pain points — deployment experience submitted to SDOs, and how each GitHub issue is carried through to a correction, new-feature proposal or liaison input.

Feedback to 3GPP

3GPP media specifications (5G Media Streaming, Multicast-Broadcast Services, data collection and related work), discussed with 3GPP SA4.

Feedback to MPEG

MPEG (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29) specifications, such as the immersive and scene-description formats used in XR and volumetric work.

Feedback to ETSI TS 103 720

5G Broadcast System for linear TV and radio services — the free-to-air LTE-based delivery system.

Feedback to ETSI TR 103 972

Deployment Guidelines for DVB-I services over 5G Systems.

GitHub project board tracking 3GPP specification feedback issues

The 3GPP Specifications Feedback board on GitHub — every issue tracked from discussion to adoption.

How Feedback Is Processed

Two workflows: one for specifications 5G-MAG maintains, one for external SDOs (3GPP, ETSI).

Workflow for feedback on specifications maintained by 5G-MAG: a community issue is raised on GitHub, reviewed by 5G-MAG, and progressed to a correction or new-feature proposal.
Feedback on specifications 5G-MAG maintains: from a GitHub issue to a correction or new-feature proposal.
Workflow for feedback on specifications maintained by external SDOs: a community issue is raised on GitHub, reviewed by 5G-MAG, and forwarded to the responsible standards body as a change request or liaison input.
Feedback on specifications owned by an external SDO (e.g. 3GPP, ETSI): carried in as a change request or liaison input.
