`Foreword
`This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
`
`The contents of the present document are subject to continuing work within the TSG and may change following formal
`TSG approval. Should the TSG modify the contents of the present document, it will be re-released by the TSG with an
`identifying change of release date and an increase in version number as follows:
`
`Version x.y.z
`
`where:
`
`x
`
`the first digit:
`
`1 presented to TSG for information;
`
`2 presented to TSG for approval;
`
`3 or greater indicates TSG approved document under change control.
`
`y
`
`the second digit is incremented for all changes of substance, i.e. technical enhancements, corrections, updates,
`etc.
`
`z
`
`the third digit is incremented when editorial only changes have been incorporated in the document.
`
`Introduction
`The present document present the possible architectures of the Universal Mobile Telecommuncation System (UMTS)
`Release 99.

`
`Scope
`1
`The purpose of the present document is to present the possible architectures of the mobile system. Clause 3 of the
`present document contains a definition of the different functional entities needed to support the mobile service. In
`clause 4, the configuration of a PLMN is described as well as the organisation of the functional entities; the
`configuration presented is the most general in order to cope with all the possible implementations which can be
`imagined in the different countries. To illustrate that purpose, some examples of possible configurations are presented.
`Clause 5 of the present document contains a brief description of the interfaces involved which shows the principle of the
`organisation considered.
