TSG SA WG1 Services works on the services and features for 3G. The group sets high level requirements for the overall system and provides this in a Stage 1 description in the form of specifications and reports. This work includes: Definition of service and feature requirements, Framework for services, Specification of services (stage 1), Specification of service capabilities (stage 1), Identification of technical and operational issues to meet market requirements and Charging and accounting requirements.
**Mona Mustapha elected chairman, Antonella Napolitano and Mark Younge were elected vice chairmen of SA WG1**

Terms of reference
SA1 Terms of Reference (SP-100835) have been approved at SA Plenary meeting#50 in Istanbul, 13-15 December 2010.
3GPP TSG SA WG1 reports to 3GPP TSG SA. 3GPP TSG SA WG1 may be abbreviated by the terms "TSG SA WG1" or "SA WG1" or "SA1"or "S1".
Responsibilities
- Specification of features (stage1) .
- Specification of services (stage 1).
- Specification of service capabilities (stage 1).
- Identification of requirements to support service operation.
- Identification of requirements for service interworking.
- Identification of requirements for service interoperability between networks.
- Charging and accounting requirements
Scope
Service and feature requirements applicable to mobile and fixed communications technology for:
- 2G, 3G and future communication technologies independent of access technologies based on an evolved GSM/GPRS core network , including the Evolved 3GPP Core Network,
- 2G, 3G and future communication access technologies (including GERAN, UTRAN and E-UTRAN),
- an evolved industry-wide IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) developed in an access independent manner.
- converged fixed-mobile communication technologies, when the involved mobile technologies are those identified above.
Outputs
The outputs of this working group will be Technical Specifications and Reports, or changes to these, which are all submitted to TSG SA for approval. Once approved, they shall form the basis for the work for the whole of 3GPP and for industry segments interested in deploying networks based on IMS.
