Speech and multimedia Transmission Quality (STQ); Quality of Service aspects for 5G; Discussion of QoS aspects of services related to the 5G ecosystem

The present document summarizes the results of an analysis of the impact of the upcoming 5G on existing QoS metrics, and the question if extensions or modifications of the portfolio of QoS parameters portfolio are required to capture respective properties of 5G.

The analysis starts with a summary of features and properties of 5G which can be expected to be relevant for QoS assessment.
The first question addressed is if there are features of the 5G roadmap - as far as technically stable as of the time of publication, or reasonably stable projections - which constitute new services which would then require new sets of QoS parameters. The second question is in what way projected 5G properties may require adaptations with respect to measurement methodologies, computation, or usage of existing QoS parameters.
