Main characteristics of Type 1: 5G STandalone AR (STAR) UE:
The STAR UE is a regular 5G UE. 5G connectivity is provided through an embedded 5G modem.
The AR Runtime is local and uses input from sensors, audio inputs or video inputs. XR Spatial Compute is primarily local, but may access or share information on the network.
The AR Scene Manager is local and provides immersive rendering capabilities. Support of compute on the network may be provided, but scenes may typically be composed on the UE.
The AR/MR application is resident on the device.
An AR/MR application provider is providing a service and the service may be supported/assisted by network-based AR functions and rendering.
Due to the amount of processing required, such devices are likely to require a higher power consumption in comparison to the other device types.
As the device includes all UE functionalities, the application resides and pre-dominantly is executed on the device and all essential AR/MR functions are available for typical media processing use cases, the device referred to as STandalone AR (STAR) UE.
Media Access Functions are provided that support the delivery of media content components over the 5G system. For details refer to clause 4.2.6.
The application may also communicate though the 5G System using a dedicated interface.
