Introduction to Standards
Ø The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) unites
[Seven] telecommunications standard development
organizations (ARIB, ATIS, CCSA, ETSI, TSDSI, TTA, TTC),
known as “Organizational Partners” and provides their
members with a stable environment to produce the
Reports and Specifications that define 3GPP technologies.
Ø The original scope of 3GPP (1998) was to produce
Technical Specifications and Technical Reports for a 3G
Mobile System based on evolved GSM core networks and
the radio access technologies that they support (i.e.,
Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) both Frequency
Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD)
modes).
