`who can become an Individual Member of SGPP and how much does it cost‘?
`
`Individual Members are by definition members of the Organizational Partners of 3GPP. 'i'l1is meansthat members of
`standardization bodies such as ETSI. ARE 'l'I'A. 'l'l'C . ATIS and CCSA have a right to Lake partin SGPP. lfyour company
`becomes an ETSI member. please be informed that for pariicipaton In 3GPP you need to pay 3 units ofcontribuiion as a
`minimum except SMEs. Users, Universities‘ Public Research Bodies who should pay2 units (instead of 1).
`
`ETSI Members‘ and associate members’ fees are calculated by class. The class is derived from the member compan y‘s
`annual ECRT band (Electronics Communications Related Tu mover) — see EC RT definition.
`Each class corresponds to a nurnperotuniis. This number determines the contribution payable.
`
`Example: lfyour organization declares an annual ECRT of up to 135E million, you would need to pay 2 Units of Contribution
`(corresponding to 93BD€ per year} pius an addidonai Uoc for participation in 3GPP of 333D€

`
`What are the different membership categories?
`The different membership categories of SGPP are described in Article 4 ofthe SGPP Working Procedures.
`
`Who may become an observer?
`The status ofclbserver may be granted by the Organizational Partners to an entity which has the qualifications to become a
`future Partner {see also 3GPP Working Procedures Article 10)
`
`who may become a 3GPP Guest Member and do guests have to pay any fees?
`The 3GPP Guest status is for potenfial individual Members who may be granted permission to participate in GGPP for a
`maximum period otfl months Guest status isgrantsd on a casa—by—case basis by the Organizational Partners (see also SGPP
`Working ProceduresAr‘t'rcle 10). lfyou like to apply fora Guest status, please complete the on—Iirie 3GF'F' Application form.
`
`No membership fees are requested for Guest applications. The Guest status is a one time only membership which is used to
`enebie a company to decide whether ornot they wish to become a fi.ill member [by joining one ofthe Partners}.
`
`Who can apply for market representative Partnership?
`Organisation who have the ability to otter market advice to SGPP and to bring into SGPP a consensus View ofmarket
`requirements [e.g., services, features and functionality) falling within the SGPP scope (see also SGPP Working Procedures,
`Article T].
`
`can an ETSI Observer become an Individual Member of 3GPP?
`
`An ETSI Observer nnot become an Individual Member oi‘ SGPP. 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 3GPP.
`ETSI Observers have access to ETSI documentation and of course to 3GPPdooumentation since that is openty published on
`the web.
`
`3GPP does have its own category called “Observer” but that is entirely ditterentancl is used for potential Partners.
`
`Can an ETSI Applicant apply for 3GPP Membership?
`YES, an ETSI Applicant means that your request in become an ETSI Member wtll be addressed {and normaily approved] at
`the next General Assembly and that the company has specified they wantto participate in 3GPP activities. See also above
`regarding BGPP fees.
`
`can an ETSI Member apply for SGPP Guest status?
`Yes, any ETSI Membern appty llor a SGPP Guest status by filling in the onvline SGPP Applition form.
`
`Are there discussion archives for the 3G-PP explodar lists?
`Yes! To see the complete list please have a look here: Home page ot iisberv and scroll down until you find the list you are
`interested in. Forexampte‘ the archives for the main RAN email list.
`
`How do I subscribe to the 3GPP exploder lists?

`the list you are interested in. then click on the link and on the right side of the page you will find Subscribe or Unsubscribe.
`Click on the link and tollow the simple instructions. Delegates who already have an ETSI usemame and password should use
`the IISI management application on the ETSI site.
`
`What is the 3GPP IPR Policy?
`The 3GPP Organizational Partners have agreed lhaltheir IPR poircies should be respected and thattheir respective members
`should be enmuraged to declare ‘their willingness to grant licenses on fair, reasonable terms and conditions and on non
`discnrninatory basis‘ (Article 3.1 of he Third Generation Partnership Project). For more in1'ormalion.|ook here >>>
`
`The above-mentioned principles are further reflected in Article 55 ofthe 3GPP Working Procedures which request that each
`Individual Members should declare “atthe earliest opportunity. any IPR which they believe to be eswntial. or potentially
`essential, to anywctrk ongoing within 3GPF"‘.
`
`What is the 3GPP policy on licensing?
`some aspects o1‘3GPP systems. are covered by essential In tellectual Pro perty Rig nts {lPR) - that is, patented technologtes
`without which equipment cannot be implemented. The IPR vests in - is. the patents are held by - individual companies, and
`not by SGPP itself or any of its Drganizalio nal Partners [0Ps). All Individual Mem oers ot SGPP abide by the lPR policies of the
`GP to which they belong: all such policies are broadly similar see also "What is the GGPP IPR Policy"‘ and require IPR holders

`
`Who owns the Technical Specifications and the Technical Reports approved by
`
`SGPP?
`
`According to the Article 3.2.2 ofthe Third Generation Partnership ProjeclAgreement. the EGPP Organizational Partnersjointly
`own copyright on the Technical Specifications and the Technical Reports approved by 3GFF'.
`
`Are meeting contributions to ETSI TC SMG publlcally available?
`ETSI TC SMG meeting documents can be found on the ETSI dccbox file server. Access is limited to bcna tide representatives
`of El'Sl member organizations. These, together with early versions otthe GSM specifications. have been gathered together
`into a set of DVDS ‘A Technical History ofGSM" available to ETSl members via the ET51 WEB store.
`
`The GSM standardization work was transferred from CEPTto ETSI in 1991. TC SMG was closed at meeting #32 and TC SMG
`created to continue the work. Like almost all ETSI Technical Committees. participation in TO SMG and its working groups was
`open to all ETSi member organizations. That i5. any bona fide FBDFBSE tllfllitre Of an ETSt member was free it} pa nicipate.
`Exceptionally, other individuals could participate by express invitation ofthe chairman. Each meeting report contains a list :31
`particlpa nts with their corporate atfitiation 5.
`
`Until the late 1990s. all meeting documents were circulated in paper form. Electronic files started to take overtrom paper in
`around 1997. Meeting doclirnents i'TDccs"] were distributed by post-ilatier. by tax} in batches priortc the meeting, to those
`persons registered as regular participants in SMG or the appropriate working group, and many more documents were
`produced during the course of the meeting itself. Although a provision existed (and still exists} in the context at the IPR Policy
`for contributors to place restrictions on the distribution otTDocs via a fonnai notification atthe time the documentwas
`provided, this was seldom it ever invoked. In the absence of such a condition, all TDocs were free ofany restriction on
`subseguentdistributidn. Thus no restriction has ever been placed on how meeting participant dispose of the documents
`subsequentto their distribution before. during. or afierthe meeting. There were no non—disolosure agreements.
`
`ETSI maintains a paper archive otthe SMG TDccs. and bone fide representatives at cu rrenl ETSI members can. by
`appointment, make an accompanied search oi'the archives. This facility extendstc members which may not have been
`members attne time the document was originally produced.
`
`TC-approved versions oi ETSl "deliverabies" (see ETSI Directives for formal definition of this term] would have been
`transferred by the support officer or the committee to the secretariat team responsible for publishing ETSI deilverables. That
`team would have made cosmetic (non-technical) modifications to the draft deliverabtes betore issuing them. Depending on
`the type of “deliverable”, hiose documents would have been issued via National Standards Organize lions [N30-5} either for
`immediate publication. or lirst via either a one-step or two-step national public enquiry and vote process priorto final
`pubiicalion by ETSI. In ETSI parlance. “publication” of a deliverable is the final step in the deveioprnerit cycle ofa technical
`eta ndard. and has a precise meaning. That meaning is not ‘ma icing pu blically availabie", since clralt deliverables released for
`public enquiry or for vote are "pubIlca|ly available‘ but not yet '‘published‘‘,
`
`It’ the confidentiality conditions desoribed above had been imposed on a TDoi:: by its authors, if the text of that TDoi: was in due
`course incorporated into an ETSE ‘deliverable’. then those conditions are regarded as annulled from the date on which the
`deliverable is published,

`TIPHON,
`
`aswell as the ETSI. TtF'HON. SGPP and LTE logos. ETSI Members are authorized to use these Trade Marks in accordance
`with Collective Letter 1943. Authorization is needed to use the above mentioned acronyms and logos.
`
`For further information contact the ETSI Legal Team or see http1iwww.3gpp orgtaDoutr3gppi'legal—maltersiiogouse.
`
`can I use computer code included with a 3GPP TS to Implement a product?
`YES, but read tl"Ii5 CIBLISE carefully. SOME 3GPP Technical Specifications include compute-rcode SUCH as ASN.1 or XML
`[protocols], ANSl—C language (ccdecsJ....', and some include test vectors tcodecspfor veritylng implementations. These are
`published to allow users of these TSs to implement realvwortd products. No permission is required trom 3C-EPP or its
`Organizational Partners (0Ps) to use this code in the design of products — eg. to compile the C to Implement a coded in
`ma chine code.

`
`

`
`Nevertheless. there may be essential IPR involved with such a design. and irnptemenlersare obliged to seek licenses from
`IPR owners to use that technology. See also What is the ZGPP policy on licensing?
`
`Moreover, the copyrightcfall 3-GPP Tss and TRS vesfi jointly by all the 3GPP OPs. Other than for in-house copiesfor the
`purpose Oi further development oi the 3GPP mndard or for product design purposes. etc. you may not repiod uce any part of
`a EGPP TS or TR without seelrtng permission ltom SGPP leg. from the ETSi Legal Team): use the procedure described on the
`legal area ofthis site. This means triat you must not provide verbatim copies ofsource code (or lightly modified copies) without
`seeking permission from SGPP.
`
`Finally, you are reminded that SGPP 'I'Ss and TRs have no legal status, and you shoutd notdesign products diiecllyto them.
`See the advice notice on the cover page ofevery SGPP TS and TR. Instead, use the technically identical put:-llcaton otcne of
`the CPS.
`
`How do I create the next Release version of a T5 or TR?
`
`There are three ways ofupgrading a Release X spec to Release X+1 :
`
`i. write a CR to the latest Release X version to incorporate technical changes to satisfy a Release X+1 wont item. and on
`the cover sheet showing the WI code for that work item and the Release code for Release )(+1_ltlhe CR is approved at
`TSG level, this will automadcaliv create the first instance of the next Release of the spec.
`2. Make a specific requestto the TSGto upgrade the latest version of the spec from Release X to Release X+1 . This might
`be needed if the functionatities ofthe two Releases diverge, though ba::kwards—inccmpatibilitv is to be avoided if
`possible.
`3 Do nothing. lfa spec has survived unchanged throughout the period during which Release X+1 was developed, when
`Release )t+l is frozen, all such specswlll automatically be upgraded lrom Release X to Release )<+1 without technical
`change.
`
`Where can the rules. protocols or software needed to develop applications for
`
`UMTS be found?
`
`A good place to start is on the 3GPP website, and particularly the specifications list.
`
`What is the correlation between Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3?
`A three-stage methodology as defined in iTU T Recommendation L130 is applied in SGPP according TR 21.900 clause 4.1:
`
`Stage 1 I5 an overall service descfplicn from the user's standpoint.
`Stage 2 is an overall description of the organization of the network functions to map service requirements into netwicirk capabilities
`Stage 3 IS the definition of switching and signalling capabilities needed to support services deifned in stage 1.
`
`Are the 3GPP specifications produced only in word?
`THE 3GPP SDBCS are published 85 ETSI dellverables. and W859 are available iii PDF f0lTfl hli.p;llwww.elsi.orglsl.andards-

`so than hlml, in fact), and because Wordvieweris very simple {it can not handle macros, for example), it is pretty safe lioo.
`ETSI has no plans at present to publish specifications in plain text or in himl.
`
`Which group works with specifications covering the use of the GSM coclec
`
`{either in C or Java based)?
`The SMG STC SMG11 and SGPP SM specifications. available from http:!iwvvw.3gpp.crg. respectively deal with this. It gives
`you a Iistof specifications via the status list (lookfor the GSM specs in the MS-Access database at .

`
`Where would I find a document (e.g. UMTS 30.03 version 3.1.0) which does not
`

`
`What is a Release - how does specification version numbering work?
`To meet new market requirements, 3GPP speeificatlonsare continually being enhanced with new features. In order to provide
`developers with a stable platform for implementation while at the same time allowing the addition of new features, the 3GPP
`uses a system of parallel "releases". For more inlorrnation look here >>>.
