3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in 3GPP TR 21.905 [1] and the following
apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in 3GPP
TR 21.905 [1].
release independent: applicable to some frozen releases, starting from a certain release Rel-M
NOTE 1: Normally, a feature is introduced only in the latest open release Rel-N and future releases are based on the
previous one so that future releases inherit the requirements of this feature. Introducing a feature "in a
release independent way from Rel-M onwards" (M feature would be also benefi
