The whole 3GPP web site is full of technology, the idea of having a ‘Technology’ part of the site is to provide some pointers on the features that are built in to the 3GPP specifications.
Some technologies can be [at least partially] aligned with a 3GPP series;
| CODECs | 26 series |
| Data | 27 series |
| EDGE | 44 series and 45 series |
| E-UTRAN | 36 series |
| GERAN | 4x series’ |
| GPRS | See 44 series and 45 series |
| GSM History | ETSI has a good page on the history of GSM |
| Home NodeB (incl. Femtocell) |
|
| HSPA | 25 series |
| IMT-Advanced | See TR 36.913 - Requirements for Further Advancements for E-UTRA (LTE-Advanced) , Details of the ITU call for candidates for IMT-Advanced technologies and systems are at www.itu.int/ITU-R |
| LTE | 36 series |
| OAM&P and Charging | 32 series |
| Radio aspects | |
| Requirements | 21 series |
| Security aspects | 33 series |
| Security algorithms | 35 series, 55 series (GERAN specific) |
| Service aspects | 22 series |
| Network signalling protocols (24 & 29 series) | 24 series, 29 series |
| SIM, USIM | 31 series |
| Technical realization ("stage 2") | 23 series |
| UE and (U)SIM test specifications | 34 series |
| UMTS | Start with 25 series |
| UTRAN | 25 series |
| W-CDMA | 25 series |
Wiki for 3GPP
Available at http://3gppwiki.etsi.org, the 3GPP Wiki was launched in September 2008 as a means for the 3GPP community to share knowledge and visions related to 3GPP technical issues.
Technical terms
The 3GPP Report ‘Vocabulary for 3GPP Specifications’ identifies specialist technical terms used within the 3GPP;
- To ensure that editors use terminology that is consistent across specifications.
- To provide a reader with convenient reference for technical terms that are used across multiple documents.
