1 Scope
The present document specifies a framework for use within ETSI ISG F5G to coordinate public demonstrations of Proof
of Concepts (PoC) validating key technical components of F5G. The PoC is not an interoperability or conformance
testing activity. The objective of the PoCs is to build awareness and confidence in the F5G standard. The primary goal
of a PoC is to foster the development of an open ecosystem by integrating components from different players.
This framework outlines:
• Rational for ISG F5G PoCs
• ISG F5G PoC process
• Submission, format and criteria for ISG F5G PoC proposals
• Review and acceptance criteria of ISG F5G PoC proposals
• ISG F5G PoC Report format and requirements
• ETSI support for PoC Teams
