3GPP releases Flashcards
3GPP TSG stands for
Technical Specifications Group
3GPP TSG RAN is the technical specification group that has developed WCDMA, its evolution HSPA, as well as LTE,
TSG RAN consists of 5 WG (working Groups)
The result of the work in 3GPP is submitted to ________
1) ETSI
2) ITU
3) IEEE
ITU
The work in 3GPP is carried out with relevant ITU recommendations in mind and the
result of the work is also submitted to ITU
Regional options in the specifications are thus more common for
1) base stations
2) terminals
more common for base stations than for terminals
TSG meetings occur _________ times a year
