The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is a collaboration between groups of telecommunications associations, to make a globally applicable third generation (3G) mobile phone system specification within the scope of the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 project of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). 3G is the third generation of mobile phone standards and Technology, superseding 2 International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 ( IMT-2000) is the global standard for third generation ( 3G) wireless communications as defined by the International 3GPP specifications are based on evolved Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) specifications. GSM ( Global System for Mobile communications: originally from Groupe Spécial Mobile) is the most popular standard for Mobile phones in the 3GPP standardization encompasses Radio, Core Network and Service architecture. [1]

The groups are the European Telecommunications Standards Institute, Association of Radio Industries and Businesses/Telecommunication Technology Committee (ARIB/TTC) (Japan), China Communications Standards Association [2], Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (North America) and Telecommunications Technology Association (South Korea). The European Telecommunications Standards Institute ( ETSI) is an independent non-for-profit Standardization organization of the Telecommunications The Telecommunication Technology Committee (TTC 情報通信技術委員会 was established in 1985 For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Japan topics. The Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS is a Standardization organization that develops technical and operational standards for the communications industry South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea and often referred to as Korea ( Korean: 대한민국 tɛː [1] The project was established in December 1998. Year 1998 ( MCMXCVIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1998 Gregorian calendar)

3GPP 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. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 ( 3GPP2) is a collaboration between telecommunications associations to make a globally applicable third generation ( 3G) The 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 ( 3GPP2) is a collaboration between telecommunications associations to make a globally applicable third generation ( 3G) Interim Standard 95 (IS-95, is the first CDMA -based digital cellular standard pioneered by Qualcomm. CDMA2000 is a hybrid 25G / 3G technology of mobile Telecommunications standards that use CDMA, a multiple access scheme for Digital

Standards

3GPP standards are structured as Releases. Discussion of 3GPP thus frequently refers to the functionality in one release or another.

Version Released[3] Info
Release 98 1998 This and earlier releases specify pre-3G GSM networks
Release 99 2000 Q1 Specified the first UMTS 3G networks, incorporating a CDMA air interface[4]
Release 4 2001 Q2 Originally called the Release 2000 - added features including an all-IP Core Network[5]
Release 5 2002 Q1 Introduced IMS and HSDPA[6]
Release 6 2004 Q4 Integrated operation with Wireless LAN networks and adds HSUPA, MBMS, enhancements to IMS such as Push to Talk over Cellular (PoC), GAN[7]
Release 7 2007 Q4 Focuses on decreasing latency, improvements to QoS and real-time applications such as VoIP. Code division multiple access ( CDMA) is a Channel access method utilized by various radio communication technologies Next Generation Networking ( NGN) is a broad term to describe some key architectural evolutions in Telecommunication core and Access networks that The IP Multimedia Subsystem ( IMS) is an architectural framework for delivering Internet protocol (IP Multimedia to mobile users High-Speed Downlink Packet Access ( HSDPA) is a 3G (third generation Mobile telephony Communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet A wireless LAN or WLAN is a Wireless Local area network, which is the linking of two or more computers or devices without using wires High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA is a 3G Mobile telephony protocol in the HSPA family with up-link speeds up to 5 Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service ( MBMS) is a Broadcasting service that can be offered via existing GSM and UMTS Cellular The IP Multimedia Subsystem ( IMS) is an architectural framework for delivering Internet protocol (IP Multimedia to mobile users Push-to-talk ( PTT) also known as Press-to-Transmit, is a method of conversing on half-duplex communication lines including Two-way radio Unlicensed Mobile Access or UMA is the commercial name of the 3GPP Generic Access Network, or GAN standard Voice-over-Internet protocol ( VoIP, vɔɪp is a protocol optimized for the transmission of voice through the Internet [8] This specification will also focus on HSPA+ (High Speed Packet Access Evolution), SIM high-speed protocol and contactless front-end interface (Near Field Communication enabling operators to deliver contactless services like Mobile Payments), EDGE Evolution. Near Field Communication or NFC is a short-range High frequency wireless communication technology which enables the exchange of data between devices over about a 10 centimetre Mobile payment (also referred to as mobile web payment or WAP billing is the collection of money from a consumer via a mobile device such as their Mobile phone, SmartPhone Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution ( EDGE) Enhanced GPRS ( EGPRS) or IMT Single Carrier ( IMT-SC)
Release 8 and onwards In progress (expected 2009) LTE, All-IP Network (SAE). LTE (Long Term Evolution is the next major step in mobile radio communications and will be introduced in 3rd Generation Partnership Project ( 3GPP) Release 8 LTE (Long Term Evolution is the next major step in mobile radio communications and will be introduced in 3rd Generation Partnership Project ( 3GPP) Release 8 Release 8 constitutes a refactoring of UMTS as an entirely IP based fourth-generation network.

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. GSM ( Global System for Mobile communications: originally from Groupe Spécial Mobile) is the most popular standard for Mobile phones in the 3GPP's plans for the future beyond Release 7 are in the development under the title Long Term Evolution ("LTE"). LTE (Long Term Evolution is the next major step in mobile radio communications and will be introduced in 3rd Generation Partnership Project ( 3GPP) Release 8

The documents are available freely on 3GPP's Web site. A website (alternatively web site or Web site, a back-construction from the Proper noun World Wide Web) is a collection of Web pages While 3GPP standards can be bewildering to the newcomer, they are remarkably complete and detailed, and provide insight into how the cellular industry works. They cover not only the radio part ("Air Interface") and Core Network, but also billing information and speech coding down to source code level. Cryptographic aspects (authentication, confidentiality) are also specified in detail. Cryptography (or cryptology; from Greek grc κρυπτός kryptos, "hidden secret" and grc γράφω gráphō, "I write" Authentication (from Greek αυθεντικός real or genuine from authentes author is the act of establishing or confirming something (or someone as 3GPP2 offers similar information about its system. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 ( 3GPP2) is a collaboration between telecommunications associations to make a globally applicable third generation ( 3G)

Deployment

3GPP systems are deployed across much of the established GSM market[9][10]. They are primarily Release 99 systems, but as of 2006, growing interest in High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is driving adoption of Release 5 and its successors. High-Speed Downlink Packet Access ( HSDPA) is a 3G (third generation Mobile telephony Communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet Since 2005, 3GPP systems were seeing deployment in the same markets as 3GPP2 systems (for example, North America[11]). Industry commentators speculate constantly about the competing systems, and the outcome is unclear.
