On SA4 work on AI traffic characteristics
Proposal 1: Agree that any assumptions made regarding AI formats for the purpose of traffic modeling are for guidance of related development of AI traffic models. They should not be treated as rigid, normative standardization targets. Correspondingly, SA4 should avoid normative work on AI formats (the actual structure of the data packets) at this stage. Doing so risks locking the 3GPP specifications into constraints that do not suit the technology as it evolves over the next few years.
Proposal 2: Work should focus on the traffic characteristics (latency, throughput, periodicity, burstiness characteristics), rather than the specific coding or file formats used to generate that traffic.
Proposal 3: SA4 should review this as the landscape on AI traffic and its formats continue to evolve rapidly.
