Started: lists the features for which at least one (first) test case has been submitted and agreed since the last report.

7. Summary & open issues from TTCN Workshop #37 (11th Apr’17)
New Test Models:
eDRX, eMTC, LAA:
Consolidated Test Models / ASPs endorsed by the workshop, with several updates.
TS prose CRs proposed at RAN5#75.
NB-IoT / CIoT:
Consolidated Test Model / ASPs endorsed by the workshop.
TS prose CR proposed at RAN5#75.
Ongoing discussions about changes to handling of Ncell power off/release in TTCN.
IMS over WLAN:
Endorsed Test Model for handling of XCAP signalling in SS test cases, when XCAP Server is outside of 3GPP network (DS1).
V2V:
Initial brainstorming discussions to ‘set the scene’ for Test Model work.

8. Summary & open issues from TTCN Workshop #37 (11th Apr’17)
Existing Test Models:
Handling of UE Categories:
Enhancement of ASPs to provide SS support for UE DL Categories up to 16.
IMS:
Endorsed updates to handling of SPI’s to accommodate SS’s using newer Operating Systems blocking some SPIs from being usable by TTCN.
TS prose CR proposed at RAN5#75.
Positioning:
Related to RAN5 SIG AP#73.01 & merging of LTE GNSS test cases.
Analysis concluded that no Test Model change is foreseen to adapt to the mega-GNSS LTE test approach.

11. Preparing for 2017 TTCN Work – Funding
2017 workload is estimated at 90.5 man.months (mm), see previous slides.
PCG#37/OP#36 approved the 3GPP funding of 58 mm for 2017 TTCN tasks.
PTCRB appreciated the results that were produced from their contribution in So they have agreed to continue TF160 financial support in 2017.
Current commitments for 2017 are as follows:
3GPP companies /3GPP MRPs committed to provide 19.5 mm as voluntary contributions for 2017 TTCN development.
Total resources of 90.5 mm  no estimated funding gap.
