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
1) 1
2) 2
3) 3
4) 4
4 times

in 3GPP, SAE stands for
System Architecture Evolution
After freezing a 3GPP release, which is NOT allowed
1) changes to technical features
2) technical corrections
3) conformation tests
1) changes to technical features
- Technical corrections can continue for a long time after freezing
- the details of the protocols and the conformance tests will usually lag behind
release ____ specified 3G service with WCDMA
1) Release 99
2) Release 4
3) Release 5
4) Release 6
Release 99
based on the core network of GSM, but with a new air interface that used W-CDMA
Within each release, the different specifications are organized into
1) documents
2) reports
3) series
4) recommendations
series
series 00 to 13 were used up to release 99
Series 21 to 36 describe UMTS (also aspects common with GSM)
series 41 to 55 are for release 4 onwards
Within each release, there are also documents that do not actually define any part of the system
1) TS (techincal specification)
2) TR (technical reports)
