3GPP – The Mobile Broadband Standard

Generations of Mobile Standards

The Meeting

Calendar

Details of the 3GPP Groups' work can be accessed via the website (everyone), but are also in more complete form on the 3GPP Portal - accesible by use of your on-line user login.

Registration to meetings is via the Portal 'Meetings' thumbnail.

Calendar Working

Procedures

The Working Procedures, taken together with the Technical Specification Group working methods (TR21.900) and the Specification drafting rules (TR 21.801) – are the rule book of 3GPP.

Working Procedures Reports and Specifications

All 3GPP specifications have a TS number consisting of 5 digits. The first two digits describe the series (broad work area) covered.

Go to Series page The Work Plan

The Work Plan provides details of "Features" that add new or enhanced functionality to the existing system.

The work plan is driven by the estimated freeze date of current and future Releases. It is possible that features may span more than one Release.

Work Plan Shaping the future

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project unites seven telecommunications standard development organizations, known as Organizational Partners, providing their members with a stable environment to produce the Reports and Specifications that define the 3GPP system.

Workshop on 6G

Incheon, South Korea

March 10 - 11 

The agenda of the TSGs#107 6G Workshops for the Rel-20 study phase will firstly take in the status of the current WG SA1 6G Study and move forward to consider a broad range of visions & detailed priorities for the next phase of studies for 6G.

There will be two sessions in parallel, one for radio technology evolution and a second for the next generation system architecture, core networks and protocols.

The 3GPP Video

We have just completed and posted our new 3GPP video, on the theme of 'Why is 3GPP important to you?'

We asked experts from our RAN1 working group that question, with a view to tying in their responses to some explanatory images about what 3GPP is all about and how we make standards.

Free access to 5G NetX

We have decided to continue providing a link to the 5G version of the NetX network map via our website.

Have a look and let us know whether it was useful to you. Any feedback will help us to ensure that this resource is relevant to the broad 3GPP community.

1G

Pre 3GPP & before ETSI’s GSM standard, the first generation of mobile networks were analogue systems, with voice encoded on to an analogue radio signal prior to digital transmission.

During the 1980s the competition to get the first mobile units into cars and briefcases was considerable. Systems in Japan, North America and the Nordic countries had a good claim on winning the contest to be first movers, but it could be said that all of the major economies had an eye on the potential benefits of the telephone going mobile - as soon as it could be achieved.

2G

Capacity limitations, quality issues and the potential duplication created by having national mobile standards led to the development of 2G, at a time when the entire system was to go digital.

The ETSI Technical Committee SMG picked up the development of the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) standard, that soon became an enormous success – in parallel with rival systems developed in Asia and in North America. The GSM system was later adopted by 3GPP and further evolved, as the major building block of the 3G work.

3G

The fruits of 3G – with Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA), High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), LTE and the accompanying evolution of the core network are the basis for the success that is being enjoyed by 3GPP to this day.

In 1998 the project was set up to approve and maintain specifications for GSM evolved UTRA networks. By 2000 the scope of the group was broadened to include the 'long term evolution' of the UTRA specifications, bringing the term ‘LTE’ into use – as shorthand for the system enabled by E-UTRA and the Evolved Packet Core (EPC).

4G

LTE is often thought of as being a 4G technology, but it wasn’t until 2010 and the LTE-Advanced work that the 4G benchmark was truly etched.

The focus for 4G was again the need for speed and higher capacity. 3GPP Release10 was to provide higher bitrates in a cost-efficient way and, at the same time, completely fulfil the requirements set by ITU for systems beyond 3G. The rate at which LTE was adopted for IoT devices has been astounding and it is clear that it is a big part of the future of the Internet of Things.

5G

The new generation isn’t just about the ‘user experience’. 5G is allowing the cellular industry to expand the capability of the network to deliver on the full promise of the Internet of Everything.

5G features fall into the Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Massive Machine-type Communications (mMTC) and Ultra-reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC) categories. All three are needed to develop a full set of services for transport, broadcast, critical comms, healthcare, Industry 4.0, personal area networks...and all things IoT.
