WORKGROUPS AND ACTIVITIES
Work
The 5G-MAG Work Items are developed within the Workgroups. Additionally, 5G-MAG has established external groups to collaborate on relevant topics and/or with external organizations.
5G-MAG Workgroups (WGs)
-
WG UC: Use Cases, Requirements and Opportunities
-
WG CP: Content Production - Standards and Architectures
-
WG CD: Content Distribution - Standards and Architectures
-
WG DEV: Development and Implementation
-
WG EaR: Ecosystem and Regulation
-
WG PC: Promotion and Communication
External Groups
-
5G-MAG Reference Tools Developers Group (External Group open to developer community)
The WG Use Cases, Requirements and Opportunities is responsible for enabling the incubation and on-boarding of new ideas on services and applications proposed by the members. It also handles the relevant tasks from the Work Items assigned to the workgroup. In particular, those including but not limited to:
-
Collection and analysis of use cases, i.e. the specific situation in which a service or application could potentially be used.
-
Definition of service and application requirements in relation to the identified use cases
-
Assessment of the market opportunities and analysis of the expected impact, advantages and challenges behind the proposed use cases
In conducting these tasks, the workgroup will be instrumental for:
-
Gathering information and data from reliable sources
-
Liaising with relevant stakeholders on the development of the proposed use cases
-
Facilitating exchange among the members and the industry

The WG Content Production - Standards and Architectures is responsible for the technology and standards aspects relevant to media contribution (e.g. uplink streaming) and production (e.g. local area networks or non-public networks). In particular, it handles the tasks from the Work Items relevant to:
-
Definition, development and recommendation of system architecture and end-to-end solutions
-
Evaluation of technical requirements and KPIs
-
Examination of key emerging technologies from standard-development organizations and how they may support defined use cases
-
Identification of technical features in network equipment and user devices to enable defined use case.
-
Provision of technical feedback and contribution towards standard-development organizations.
-
Elaboration of technical guidelines, profiles and recommendations with a focus on technical implementation and deployments.
