3GPP

4G 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) 1 The pre-4G 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology is often branded "4G- LTE", but the first LTE release does not fully comply with the IMT-Advanced requirements. LTE has a theoretical net bit rate capacity of up to 100 Mbit/s in the downlink and 50 Mbit/s in the uplink if a 20 MHz channel is used — and more if multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), i.e. antenna arrays, are used.

3GPP2 1 The '3rd Generation Partnership Project 2' ('3GPP2') is a collaboration between telecommunications associations to make a globally applicable third generation (3G) mobile phone system specification within the scope of the ITU's IMT-2000 project. In practice, 3GPP2 is the standardization group for CDMA2000, the set of 3G standards based on the earlier cdmaOne 2G CDMA technology.

3GPP2 1 Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) was a 3GPP2 project to develop a fourth-generation successor to CDMA2000. In November 2008, Qualcomm, UMB's lead sponsor, announced it was ending development of the technology, favoring 3GPP Long Term Evolution|LTE instead.[ sNews/idUSN ?rpc=401 Qualcomm halts UMB project], Reuters, 13 November

3GPP2 1 3GPP2 should not be confused with 3GPP; 3GPP is the standard body behind the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) that is the 3G upgrade to 'GSM networks', while 3GPP2 is the standard body behind the competing 3G standard CDMA2000 that is the 3G upgrade to 'cdmaOne networks' used mostly in the United States (and to some extent also in Japan, China, South Korea and India).

3GPP 1 The scope was later enlarged[ 08_web_files/3GPP_Scopeando p df 3GPP Scope and Objectives, 31 August 2007] to include the development and maintenance of:

3GPP 1 * an evolved third Generation and beyond Mobile System based on the evolved 3GPP core networks, and the radio access technologies supported by the Partners (i.e., UTRA both FDD and TDD modes).

3GPP 1 3GPP standardization encompasses Radio, Core Network and Service architecture.[ t.htm About The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)] The project was established in December 1998 and should not be confused with 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2), which specifies standards for another 3G technology based on IS-95 (CDMA), commonly known as CDMA2000.[ 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2]

3GPP 1 The 3GPP support team (also known as the Mobile Competence Centre) is located at the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) headquarters in Sophia-Antipolis (France).[ Competence-Centre Mobile Competence Centre]

3GPP - History 1 3GPP became the industry standards forum that defined UMTS and more recently LTE.

3GPP - Organizational Partners 1 The six 3GPP Organizational Partners are from Asia, Europe and North America. Their aim is to determine the general policy and strategy of 3GPP and perform the following tasks:

3GPP - Organizational Partners 1 * Take the decision against a possible dissolution of 3GPP.

3GPP - Market Representation Partners 1 *Has the ability to offer market advice to 3GPP and to bring into 3GPP a consensus view of market requirements (e.g., services, features and functionality) falling within the 3GPP scope;

3GPP - Market Representation Partners 1 *Does not have the capability and authority to define, publish and set standards within the 3GPP scope, nationally or regionally;

3GPP - Standards 1 3GPP standards are structured as Releases. Discussion of 3GPP thus frequently refers to

3GPP - Standards 1 Each release incorporates hundreds of individual standards documents, each of which may have been through many revisions. Current 3GPP standards incorporate the latest revision of the GSM standards.

3GPP - Standards 1 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2|3GPP2 offers similar information about its system.

3GPP - Specification groups 1 The 3GPP specification work is done in Technical Specification Groups (TSGs) and Working Groups (WGs).[ Groups Specification Groups]

3GPP - Specification groups 1 * 'SA' (Service and System Aspects): SA specifies the service requirements and the overall architecture of the 3GPP system. It is also responsible for the coordination of the project. SA is composed of five working groups.

3GPP - Specification groups 1 * 'CT' (Core Network and Terminals): CT specifies the core network and terminal parts of 3GPP. It includes the core network - terminal layer 3 protocols. It is composed of four working groups.

3GPP - Specification groups 1 The 3GPP structure also includes a Project Coordination Group, which is the highest decision-making body. Its missions include the management of overall timeframe and work progress.

3GPP - Standardization process 1 3GPP standardization work is contribution- driven. Companies (individual members) participate through their membership to a 3GPP Organizational Partner. As of April 2011, 3GPP is composed of more than 370 individual members.[ p 3GPP membership]

3GPP - Standardization process 1 Specification work is done at WG and at TSG level:[ info/21900.htm 3GPP TR Technical Specification Group working methods]

3GPP - Standardization process 1 * the 3GPP WGs hold several meetings a year. They prepare and discuss change requests against 3GPP specifications. A change request accepted at WG level is called agreed.

3GPP - Standardization process 1 * the 3GPP TSGs hold plenary meetings quarterly. The TSGs can approve the change requests that were agreed at WG level. Some specifications are under the direct responsibility of TSGs and therefore, change requests can also be handled at TSG level. The approved change requests are subsequently incorporated in 3GPP specifications.

3GPP - Standardization process 1 3GPP follows a three-stage methodology as defined in ITU-T Recommendation I.130:[ I/ ITU-T Recommendation I.130]

3GPP - Deployment 1 With LTE the official successor to 3GPP2's CDMA systems, 3GPP-based systems will eventually become the single global mobile standard.

3GPP Long Term Evolution 1 The standard is developed by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) and is specified in its Release 8 document series, with minor enhancements described in Release 9.

3GPP Long Term Evolution 1 Although marketed as a 4G wireless service, LTE (as specified in the 3GPP Release 8 and 9 document series) does not satisfy the technical requirements the 3GPP consortium has adopted for its new standard generation, and which were originally set forth by the ITU-R organization in its IMT-Advanced specification

Evolved Packet Core - 3GPP releases 1 The 3GPP delivers standards in parallel releases, which compose consistent sets of specifications and features.

3GPP Long-Term Evolution - Enhanced voice quality 1 To ensure compatibility, 3GPP demands at least AMR-NB codec (narrow band), but the recommended speech codec for VoLTE is Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband, also known as HD Voice. This codec is mandated in 3GPP networks that support 16kHz sampling.[ company/docs/publications/ericsson_revie w/2010/lte_e2e.pdf Erricsson - LTE delivers superior voice, too]
