This DVD contains the latest 3GPP and ETSI TISPAN specifications.

TISPAN – Defining the Next Generation Network

Building upon the work already done by 3GPP in creating the SIP-based IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), TISPAN and 3GPP are now working together to define a harmonized ALL IP network.

NGN Release 1 provided the robust and open standards that industry can use as a reliable basis for the development and implementation of the first generation of NGN systems.

TISPAN is close to completing Release 2, with a focus on enhanced mobility, new services (such as IPTV) and content delivery with improved security and network management.

3GPP

The latest 3GPP specs are always available at www.3gpp.org/specs/specs.htm

3GPP are writing specifications and reports for a 3rd Generation Mobile System based on evolved GSM core networks and the radio access technologies that they support.

All 3G and GSM specifications have a 3GPP specification number consisting of 4 or 5 digits. (e.g. 09.02 or 29.002). The first two digits define the series as listed in the table below. They are followed by 2 further digits for the 01 to 13 series or 3 further digits for the 21 to 55 series.

The term "3G" means a 3GPP system using a UTRAN radio access network; the term "GSM" means a 3GPP system using a GERAN radio access network. (Thus "GSM" includes GPRS and EDGE features).

The following table is taken from the ‘3GPP Specifications - Numbering scheme’ web page

Note (2): The specifications of these aspects are spread throughout several series.

Note (3): Algorithms may be subject to export licensing conditions. See the relevant 3GPP page. See also the relevant ETSI pages.

Note (4): The original GSM algorithms are not published and are controlled by the GSM Association.

The 3GPP Specifications are stored on the file server as zipped MS-Word files.
