`Introducing 3GPP
`
`The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) unites seven telecommunications standard development
`
`organizations (ARIB, ATIS, CCSA, ETSI, TSDSI, TTA, TTC), known as “Organizational Partners” providing their
`
`members with a stable environment to produce the Reports and Specifications that define 3GPP
`
`technologies.
`
`3GPP specifications cover cellular telecommunications technologies, including radio access, core network
`
`and service capabilities, which provide a complete system description for mobile telecommunications.
`
`The 3GPP specifications also provide hooks for non-radio access to the core network, and for interworking
`
`with non-3GPP networks
`
`The Project’s Scope
`
`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).
`
`The scope was subsequently amendedto include the maintenance and developmentof the Technical
`
`Specifications and Technical Reports for evolved 3GPP technologies, beyond 3G.
`
`e The latest 3rd Generation Partnership Project Agreement (Annex 42).
`
`e The discussions that led to the signing of the 3GPP Project Agreement were recordedin a series of
`
`slides called the “Partnership Project Description” that describes the basic principles and ideas on
`
`which the project is based. The document has not been maintained sinceits first creation, but the
`
`"#$ÿ%&
`
`principles within do still remain valid.

`

`
`The 3GPP Working Proceduresare the rule book of 3GPP, with sections covering:
`
`e Description, Purpose, Scope and objectives
`
`* Participation
`
`« Structure
`
`e Partners’ collective responsibilities
`
`* Project Coordination Group (PCG)
`
`e Technical Specification Groups(Incl. Elections)
`
`* Work Programme & technical co-ordination
`
`e Deliverables (Technical Specifications and Technical Reports)
`
`e Reporting
`
`The 3GPP production of specifications and studies (TRs) are contribution-driven, by member companies,
`
`in Working Groups and at the Technical Specification Group (TSG) level. The Technical Specification
`
`Groups in 3GPP are:
`
`e Radio Access Networks (RAN)
`
`* Services & Systems Aspects (SA)
`
`« Core Network & Terminals (CT)
`
`The Working Groups, within the TSGs, meet regularly and come togetherfor their quarterly TSG Plenary
`
`meeting, where their work is presented for information, discussion and approval. The last meeting of the
`
`week of TSG Plenary meetings is TSG SA, which also has responsibility for the overall coordination of the
`
`technical work and for the monitoring ofits progress.
`
`Generational Approach
`
`The 3GPP technologies from these groups are constantly evolving through Generations of commercial
`cellular / mobile systems(see table below). With LTE and 5G work, 3GPP has becomethe focal point for
`
`the vast majority of mobile systems beyond 3G.
`
`Although these Generations have become an adequate descriptor for the type of network under
`
`discussion, real progress on 3GPP standards is measured by the milestones achieved in particular
`
`Releases. New features are ‘functionality frozen’ and are ready for implementation whena Release is
`completed. 3GPP works on a number of R Cookie policy |, starting future work well in advance of the

`
`Backward Compatibility
`
`The major focusfor all 3GPP Releases is to make the system backwards and forwards compatible where
`
`possible, to ensure that the operation of user equipment is uninterrupted.
`
`For 5G, many operators are starting with dual connectivity between LTE and 5G NR equipment —- using the
`
`‘Non-Standalone’ work completed early in Release 15. In the process of completing the early drop of 5G NR
`
`care has been taken to build ‘forward compatibility’ into Non-Standalone NR equipment, to ensure thatit
`
`will be fit for use on Standalone 5G NR systems.
`
`For details of the contents of each Release, see the appropriate ‘Release Description’ documentor go to
`
`our dedicated Release page.
`
`Details of all 3GPP Work Items are in the 3GPP Work Plan, which provides details of the cooperation
`
`between all of the 3GPP groups on “Features”, defined as ‘new or substantially enhanced functionality
`
`which represents added value to the existing 3GPP system’.
