`
`1. Membership
`
`1.1 who can become an Individual Member of 3GPP and how much does it cost ?
`
`individual Members are by definition members ofthe Organizational Partners of 3GPP. This means that members of standardization bodies such as ETSI,
`ARIB, TEA. TTC. T1 and CCSA have a right to take part in 3GPP. There are no fees payable directiyto 3GPP. However, the funds required for the running of
`3GPP are collected from the Organizational Partners and you may be required to contribute in some way through that route.
`
`if you are nota member of one of the above Standardization bodies then you can find links to these bodies from the 3GPP home page.
`
`Ff you require further guidance on how to participate in 3GPP activities you should contact the Mobile Competence Centre.
`
`back to top
`
`1.2 who may participate in 3GPP meetings ?
`
`To attend a 3GPP meeting, you must be a 3GPP Individual Member (i.e. you must be a Member ofone ofthe Organizational Partners involved in the
`project; ARiB. CCSA. ETSl,T1. TTA or ‘ITC. A non—member company should seek membership with one ofthe above partners to be eligible to oontribute
`and participate at 3GPP Meetings.
`
`1.3 who shall fill in the 3GPP Individual Member Application fun-n ?
`
`The person legally responsible for the requesting company shall fill in the form.
`
`1.4 What shall I do if a 3GPP company or official cnntacl: details change?
`
`All changes of correspondence should be notified to 3GPPContact@etsi.org
`
`1.5 Different membership categories ?
`
`The different membership categories of 3GPP are described in Section E ofthe 3GPP Working Procedures.
`
`1.6 who may become an observer ?
`
`ZTE/HTC
`Exhibit 1029-0003
`
`

`
`1.? who may become a Guest Member and do guests have to pay any fees ?
`The Guest Status is for potential individual Members who may be granted permission to participate in 3GPP fora maximum period of6 months. Guest
`status is granted on a case-by-case basis by me Organizational Partners (see also Working Procedures Article 10). lfyou like to apply for a Guest status,
`please send an email to 3GF’F'Contact@elsi.org
`
`No membership fees are requested for Guestapplicaljons.

`
`1.8 who can apply for market representative Partnership?
`
`1.9
`
`can an El'!5I Observer become an Individual Member of 3GPP ?
`
`N0. an ETSI Observer may "observe" all activities, but their participation is limited to the ETSI General Assembly only. Therefore, ETSl Observers have no
`participation rights in BGPP, ETSI Observers have access to ETSI documentation and of course to 3GPP documentation since thatis openly published on
`the web.
`
`3l3PP does have it's own category called "Observer" but that is entirely different and is used for potential Partners.
`
`1.10 Can an El'5I Applicant apply for 3GPP Membership ?
`
`YES. an Applicantmeans that your request to become an ETSI Member will be approved at the next General Assembly. You can participate in 3GPP as
`soon as the ETSI application has been processed and you are flagged as a Candidate Member (ie. there is no need to wait until the next GA).
`
`1.11 My company is already an E|'SI Member, what do I have to do to join 3PP and do I have to pay any f ?
`
`As an ETSl member your company is eligible for a 3-GPP Individual Membership and you will be able to attend any ofthe SGPP Meetings, Please fill in the
`on-line SGPP Application form and your company will be then listed on the 3GPP Website (add link to the form)
`
`There are currently no additional costs involved for participation in 3GPP [the membership fees for ETSI covers the cost of 3GPP participation).

`
`3. Legal Matters
`
`3.1 What is the 3GP? IPR Policy ?
`
`The SGPF Organizational Partners have agreed thattheir IPR policies should be respected and that their respective members should be encouraged to
`declare “their willingness to grant licenses on fair reasonable terms and conditions and on non discriminatory basis" (Article 3.1 of the Third Generation
`Partnership Project). For more information Look Here >>>
`
`The abovementioned principles are further reflected in Article 55 ofthe 3GPP Technical Working Procedures which request that each Individual Members
`should declare "at the eariiest opportunity, any IPR which they believe to be essential. or potentially essential, to any work ongoing within 3GPP".
`
`back to top
`
`3.2 what is the 3GPP policy on licensing ?
`
`Some aspects of3GPP systems are covered by essential Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) - that is, patented technologies without which equipmentcannot
`be implemented. The IPR vests in — i.e. the patents are held by — individual companies, and not by 3GPP itself or any ofits Organizational Partners (OPS).
`All Individual Members of 3GF'P abide by the IPR poiicies ofthe UP to which they belong; all such policies are broadly similar (see FAQ 3.1),arid require
`lPR holders to make licences available to all third parties, whether or notthey are BGPP individual Members, underfair. reasonable and non-discriminatory
`(FRAND) terms.
`
`Neither 3GPP nor its component 0P5 offer an IPR search service.

`3.3 what is the 3G Patent Platform ?
`
`On the fringe of standardization activities some telecom companies have set up a voluntary arrangernentfor the licensing ofessential patents required to
`meet the standards published For 36 systems has emerged.
`
`Please find a historical recap of the creation ofthe 3G PatentP|atfonn. Thank you to note that Phase 3 has nolstarled yet.
`
`1. Discussions started in the UMTS IPR working Group (1998).
`
`2. The UMTS IPR working group operated within the UIAP (UMTS Intellectual Property Associabbn) to define the functions ofthe 3G Patent Platform.
`
`The 3G Patent Platform will provide services for:
`
`I —Evaluating.
`-
`- Certifying and.
`I
`-Licensing
`
`essential patents for 3G Mobile communications.
`
`3. Implementation ofthe 36 Patent Platform scheme.
`
`The 3G Patent Platform will operate within a new profit service company governed by the members (essential patent holders and licensees}. As of today this
`NEW 00 is notoperational since his waiting for the approval of the US.'ECfJapanese competition law authorities in orderto launch the above-described
`activities.

`
`3.4 Is it true that a number 3GPP members are looking at setting up a patents cooperative, with the aim of reducing the royalties they
`pay each other for the use of patented technology in th|rd—general:ion mobile systems ?
`
`- Discussion started in the UMTS IPR working Group (1998).
`- Creator: of the UlAP (UNITS Intellectual Property Association)which has performed the function of the definition the 3G Patent Platform scheme
`(Evaluation ofa patent. certification of essentiality. licensing arrangements. etc.) and which is the legal owner ofthe 3G Patent Platform Specification.
`Implementation ofthe scheme:
`
`n
`
`As oftoday NEW CD (implementing the 3G Patent Platfomi) has not be incorporated and the Patent Platform scheme is not operational as it is awaiting for
`the approval oi‘ the USIEC competifion law authorities.
`
`ETSI follows the development oftl1e 3G Patent Platform but. as a neutral standard body. cahnottake an active participation in this market initiative.
`
`3.5 who owns the Technical Specifications and the Technical Reports approved by 3GPP ?
`
`According to the Article 3.2.2 ofthe Third Generation Partnership Projectfitgreement, the 3l3PP Organizational Partners jointly own copyright on the
`Technical Specifications and the Technical Reports approved by 3GPP.
`
`3.6 Does a company implementing a product based on the 3GPP specifications have to pay any royalties to the 3GPP organization ?
`
`The Third Generation Partnership Projectis not a legal entity but a Partnership Project between different standardization organizations in the field of
`telecommunications.
`

`
`3.7 Is pennission needed to use the BGPP logo in marketing oollatierals or on a web site ?
`
`ETSF (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) is the sole owner of the Following acronyms:
`
`ETSl,
`DECT,
`UMTS,
`3GPP and
`TIPHON.
`
`as well asthe ETSJ, TIPHON and SGPP logos. ETSI Members shall use these Trade Marks in accordance with Collective Letter 1943. Authorization is
`needed to use the above mentioned acronyms and logos.
`
`For further infon-nation please contact: 3GPP Legal
`
`back to top
`
`3.8 Can I use computer code included with a BGPP TS to implement a product ?
`
`and some include test
`Yes. Some SGPP Technical Specifications include computer code such as ASN.1 or XML (protocois), C language (codecs),
`patterns (codecslfor verifying implementations. These are published to allow users ofthese T85 to implement rea|—woI1d products. No permission is
`required from 3GPP or its Organizational Partners [OPs)to use this code in the design ofproducts - e.g. to compile the C to implementa codec in machine
`code.
`
`Nevertheless,there may be essential IPR involved with such a design, and implementors are obliged to seek Iicencesto use thattech nology. See FAQ 3.2.
`
`Moreover, the copyright ofall 3GPP TSs and TRs vests jointly by all the EGPP OPs. Other than for in-house copies for the purpose offurther development of
`the 3GPP standard or for product design purposes. etc. you may not reproduce any part of a BGPP T8 or TR without seeking permission: use the form
`available here. This means that you must not provide verbatim copies of source code (or lightly modified copies) withoutseeking permission from 3GPP.
`
`ZTE/HTC
`Exhibit 1029-0005
`
`

`
`Finally, you are reminded that 3GPP TSs and TRs have no legal status, and you should notdesign products directly to them. See the advice notice on the
`cover page of every SGPP TS and TR. Instead, use the technically identical publication of one ofthe OF's.

`
`4. Specifications
`
`4.1 where can the rule, protocols or software needed to develop applitions for UMTS be found ?
`
`Agood place to start is on the 3GPF’ website htlp:ii‘www.3gp.p.org, and particularly the specifications listat httpzillwwwflgpp,orgispecsispecs.htrri.
`
`Look at the titles otthe specs for those which are appropriate. Perhaps 21.1 1 1 , 31.102 and 31.111 might be relevant.
`
`4.2 tllihat is the correlation between Stage 1, Stage 2 (GSM 3.90 and GSM 02.90) and Phase 1, Phase 2 ?
`
`The "stage" nomenclature was an ancient CCITF invention, related to ISDN standardisation. "Stage 1" refers to the service description from a service—user's
`point of view. "Stage 2" is a logical analysis, breaking the problem down into functional elements and the information flows amongst them. "Stage 3" is the
`concrete implementation ofthe protocols between physical elements onto which the functional elements have been mapped.
`
`back to top
`
`4.3 Is there any simple guide to the different CAMEL specifications ?
`
`Initial plans were published in ETst ETR 244 in 1995. though this is
`Unfortunately there is no single document acting as a guide to the CAMEL standards.
`so old as to be more or less useless now. GSM10.78is the CAMEL projectplan. and this is probably the best thing. This may have been avaliabie as a
`temp doc to SMG meeting no. 25, but is still only in draft tom, and has never been made publicly available.
`
`in the SS? arena,
`
`GSM 02 .?'B l UMTS 22.0?3 is the Stage 1 (requirements) document.
`
`GSM 03.781’ UMTS 23.0i'8 is the Stage 2 (functions, conceptual data flow)
`
`GSM 09.78 I UMTS 29.0113 is the Stage 3 (protocol) - CAMEL Application Part (CAP)
`
`CAP has been released in several phases:
`Release 1996 = Phase 1
`
`Release 1997 = Phase 2
`
`Release 1998 = Phase 2
`
`Release 1999 = Phase 3 (GSM and UMTS common spec)
`
`For UMTS, 21 .9?3 isa feasibility study on CAMEL controt of Voice over IP.
`
`in the Intelligent Network area, CAMEL is an extension ofCore iNAP, under the control of ETSI SPAN3 (formerly SPS3) — ignore for simplicity the Stage 1
`and Stage 2 specificationswhich were under ETSI SPAN6 (formerly NAB). Core lNAP was released in several phases:
`CS1 = ETS 300 374 series,
`
`CS2 = EN 301 140 series,
`
`CS3 = EN 301 931 series.
`
`it had originally been intended to split CS3 into two releases, and also to produce a (384. These plans now seem to be on hold. Tthe ETSI phasing otthe
`various Capability Sets was not strictly aligned with the |TU—T "equivalents". and this was a source of some confusion. Forfurther information on SPAN
`please contact : spansupport@etsi.org Very recently, SPAN has been reorganised, and SPAN3‘s work is now to be found within SPAN12.
`
`is an enhancementof Core INAP CS1. The protocol is defined in the ETSI EN 301 152 series. which is a "delta" to ETS 300 374. and
`EN CAMEL phase 1
`assumes a CAP according to GSM 0938 v5.5.x (Phase 2+, Release 1996).
`IN CS3 includes CAMEL aspects (which were ignored for IN CS2).

`
`4.4 where are the specifications which identify the vac voltages for the SIM inteifaoe ?
`
`3V and 1.8 V Slltls for GSM are specified in GSM 11.12 [phase 2) and GSM 11.18 (release 98} respectively.
`However, in SGPP we have developed a new specification (136 T8 31.101 ) which combines the physicalieiectricaltlogical aspects of GSM 11.11,GSM 11.12
`and GSM 11.18 into a single specification. The electrical and physical aspects have not really been changed compared to the GSM specification mentioned
`above (the logical and security aspects have been enhanced). It is recommended thatyou use this new specificafion as the basis for any new work.

`
`4.5 Are the 3GPP specifimtions produced only in word 2
`
`The 3GPP spew are published as ETSI deliverables, and these are available in PDF from http:tiwww.etsi.orgikey. But you can download a free Word
`viewer (ie read only) from the Microsoft web site. PDF is inherently secure (more so than html, in fact), and because Wordviewer is very simple [it can not
`handle macros, for example), it is pretty safe too.
`
`ETSI has no plans at presentto publish specifications in plain textor in htrnl.

`
`4.6 which group works with specifications covering the use of the GSM oodec (either in C or Java based] ?
`
`The SMGt1 and 3GPP SA4 specifications available trom http:.'.lwww.3gpp.org respectively deal with this. It gives you a list of specifications via the status list
`(took for the GSM specs in the MS-Access database at:
`and you can then download the specs you need. If you do not have an ETSI EOL account, you can download the ETSI equivalent standards from
`http ul.lwww.etsi.orglkey .

`
`4.7 Does the ETSI GSM standard document collection also include GSM standard documents produced by the GSM Association and
`exactly what kind of GSM standards does El'SI produce ?
`
`The GSM specifications were originally started in committee GSM ofCEPT. There (as "CEPT Recommendations") they were allocated a reference number
`otthe form nn.nn. for example GS-M 06.12. Even after transferto ETSI about ten years ago, the GSM community (in Technical Committee SMG) continue to
`use these spec identifiers.
`
`The specifications are grouped into 'Releases‘. The original specifications were published by ETSI in 1994 and are now known as ‘Phase 1'. The next
`release was known as ‘Phase 2', and the next one as
`‘Phase 2+’. Within Phase 2+, there have been annual releases since 1996, which are known as
`R96, R97, R98 and R99. You can find the specifications on the SMG file server htlp:lldocbox.etsi.org!tech-orglsmgllilocumenllsmgrspecsl grouped into
`directories by Release.
`(You need an accounton the ETSI serverto have accessto this directory.) Looking at a spec, you can tell which release it belongs
`to by the version number:
`version release
`
`3.x.x
`
`A-.x.x
`
`5.2.):
`
`6.2.x
`
`?.x.x

`
`Phase 2
`
`Phase 2+. R96
`
`Phase 2+, R97
`
`Phase 2+, R98
`
`Phase 2+, R99
`
`There will (probably) not be a Release 2000. since the work has been subsumed by the third generation specifications under 3GPP.
`
`All (nearly) the specs ofall releases are published as ETSI deliverables, and most have undergone several revisions in each release.

`4.8 Where would I find a document (e.g. UMTS 30.03 version 3.1.0} which I! not appear on the 3GPP Status List?
`
`Look at httpjrldocboxetsi.orgr'tech-orglsmg!Document.'smg!specsr‘lJMTSl'3003_32tJ.zip but, an ETSl server account is needed to access this. It is a document
`stemming from the initial TC—SMG studies on UMTS, not a product of3GPP. It was, in fact, published as an ETSI deliverable, TR 101 112, and this may be
`downloaded via ’nttp:llpda.etsi.orgr'pda.

`5.6 Is the ETSI Secretariat responsible for the management of the Application Provider Codes for 3GPP ?
`
`The ETSI secretariatdoes notactually allocate these number — unique number are obtained by the coding scheme that is defined in 31.1 10. Application
`identifiers lorconsistoftwo parts - a RID and a PIX.
`
`The RID is simple; ISOIIEC have allocated the number 'AO0OD0[iCI8?‘ to the SGPP. This was allocated to ETSl on behalf otthe 3GPP_
`
`The coding ofthe PIX is specified in annex B of31.1 10. There are three different sorts ofPlX'.
`
`- 3G UICC.
`. 3G US||’vl,and
`I 3G USIM toolkit
`
`Each ofthese requires the use of the "Card issuer code" as defined in lTU—T recommendation E.1‘l8 [3].'ihis is a unique code given to each card issuer (for
`example. each GSM operator in the world has requested a card issuer code) So, any 3G operator thatdoes not have a 2G system that uses SlMs will have
`to apply to the ITU-T in accordance with the procedures in E.118.
