  1. 3GPP Progress Report to 3GPP2 OP meeting18 April 2000Seoul • Adrian Scrase, ETSI

  2. Contents • 1 3GPP Organization • 2 3GPP Demographics • 3 Relationships with other bodies • 4 Funding • 5 3GPP results • 6 Working methods • 7 Project support • 8 Conclusions

  3. 3GPP Organization The 3GPP structure is unchanged since its creation. 3GPP comprises of: • Organizational Partners (OPs) (or SDOs) • Market Representation Partners (MRPs) • Individual Members (companies) • Observers A new category of “Guest” has been created for companies who seek temporary participation rights, or who emanate from a region having no Organizational Partner.

  4. International Recommendations Regulators/ Governments ITU Mandates PARTNERS Market Representation Partners IMT 2000 Contributions via existing processes Organizational Partners Technical Contributions INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS Technical Specifications Organizational Partners’ Standardization Process Organizational Partners’ deliverables 3GPP Project Co-ordination Group Technical Specification Groups Support Functions

  5. Organizational Partners 3GPP is open to all national/regional Standards Development Organizations irrespective of their geographical location (Organizational Partners). The following are the current OPs in 3GPP: CWTS

  6. Organizational Partners The Organizational Partner have met twice since the project began. Discussion takes place electronically between meetings. The OP meetings have no elected officials. The chairmanship is the responsibility of the meeting host. Delegations from the OPs have a nominated Head. Karl Heinz Rosenbrock heads the ETSI delegation.

  7. Market Representational Partners 3GPP is open to all organizations that can offer market advice and a consensus view of market requirements (Market Representation Partners). The following are the current MRPs in 3GPP:

  8. Market Representation Partners The Market Representation Partners do not hold formal meetings. They do hold informal meetings to co-ordinate their views. Interest has been shown by further potential MRPs

  9. Observers Observers are Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) who have the qualifications to become future Organizational Partners. 3GPP currently has two Observers: • Telecommunications Industries Association (TIA) • Telecommunications Standards Advisory Council of Canada (TSACC)

  10. Project Co-ordination Group The Project Co-ordination Group (PCG) has met three times since the project began. Discussion takes place electronically between meetings. ETSI has three representatives in PCG: • Phil Davidson (Board Member, BT) • Eric Ljungberg (Board Member, Telia) • Karl Heinz Rosenbrock Karl Heinz Rosenbrock has completed one year as PCG Chairman and has been re-elected to serve another one year term of office. Asok Chatterjee (T1) and Akio Sasaki (ARIB) are PCG Vice Chairmen.

  11. Project Co-ordination Group TSG TSG TSG TSG Service andSystem Aspects Radio Access Network Core Network Terminals Technical Specifications Technical Specification Groups

  12. Technical Specification Groups The TSGs meet in series/parallel (TSGs CN, RAN, T in parallel followed by TSG SA). They will now meet four times per year in March, June, September and December. They have the authority to approve their own specifications. TSG SA undertakes a co-ordination role across all TSGs.

  13. Technical Specification Groups The TSGs have met seven times since 3GPP was created: TSG#1 Sophia Antipolis (Dec 98) France (ETSI) TSG#2 Ft Lauderdale (Mar 99) US (T1) TSG#3 Yokohama (Apr 99) Japan (ARIB/TTC) TSG#4 Miami (June 99) US (T1) TSG#5 Kyongju (Oct 99) South Korea (TTA) TSG#6 Nice (Dec 99) France (ETSI) TSG#7 Madrid (Mar 00) Spain (ETSI)

  14. Individual Members (by OP) Individual Members (Companies) • ARIB (37) • CWTS (9) • ETSI (173) • T1 (22) • TTA (25) • TTC (18) Total 284

  15. Individual Members (by Region) Individual Members (Companies) • ETSI (Europe) (173) • North America (22) • Asia (89) Total 284

  16. Evolution of TSG participation Number of delegates at joint TSG meetings • TSG#3 (455) • TSG#4 (370) • TSG#5 (487) • TSG#6 (581) • TSG#7 (613)

  17. TSG Leadership Positions TSGs elect their own officials which are endorsed by the PCG. This two step process prevents any unacceptable imbalance. TSG Chairmen and Vice Chairmen are appointed for a two year term of office. The latest leadership positions are given in the following table.

  20. DS TC MC SC FT UTRA FDD UTRA TDD & TD-SCDMA cdma2000 UWC 136 DECT 3GPP 3GPP2 UWCC TR45 ETSI Relationship with ITU and IMT2000 The 5 IMT 2000 interfaces agreed by ITU-R (terrestrial only)

  21. Relationship between 3GPP and 3GPP2 3GPP and 3GPP2: • were created consciously, not by accident • share common Partners • have very similar structures • have very similar working procedures • have held joint workshops to ensure global roaming and interoperability • share common security mechanisms • exchange information freely

  22. 3GPP Funding Agreement now reached between all OPs for year 2000 funding. OPs will contribute according to an agreed formula. Half of the budget will be found by equal division among the OPs, the other half will be found in proportion to the number of Individual Members. Contribution may be by financial or human resources. Budget requirement for 3GPP support in 2000 = 4720 kEuro Budget requirement for MCC 3G Task Forces = 963 kEuro Figures include accommodation and infrastructure costs, traditionally included elsewhere in the ETSI budget sheet.

  23. OP funding contributions for year 2000 Contributions in kEuro • ARIB (719,3) • CWTS (100,0) • ETSI (1724,6) • T1 (741,4) • TTA (759,3) • TTC (594,2) Total 4638,8

  24. OP funding contributions (by Region) Contributions in kEuro • ETSI (Europe) (1724,6) • North America (741,4) • Asia (2172,8)

  25. 3GPP progress in 1999 3GPP is only one year old, but has already: • defined a 3G system “Release ‘99” • drafted 308 Technical Specifications and Reports • 240 of those have already been transposed by ETSI • agreed a mechanism of Quarterly updates for Release ‘99 Outstanding issues for Release ‘99 catalogued Exact status always available in 3G TS 21.101 Open publication of security algorithms under discussion

  26. 3GPP progress in 2000 Release ‘00 planned and ambitious target date set as Dec ‘00 Release ‘00 will include an all IP core network

  27. Working methods 3GPP is employing modern working methods: • TSG meetings are 100% paperless • 4 portable LANs available within MCC, thanks to Nortel Networks • Work progressed between meeting using 70+ email discussion lists New features broken down into building blocks and work tasks Inter-dependencies between work tasks now mapped Better prediction for availability of new features and critical path planning

  28. Project Support 3GPP has a Mobile Competence Centre (MCC) providingcomprehensive project support MCC: • is located at the ETSI HQ in Sophia Antipolis, France • has 27 full time personnel • is an International team with 12 nationalities from 4 continents • is ISO 9000 compliant

  29. Conclusions • 3GPP is well established • 6 OPs representing Europe, Asia and North America • 5 MRPs (vendors, operators) providing consolidated market requirements (more MRPs to follow?) • First years results are of an unprecedented volume and speed • Release ‘99 firmly established • Release ‘00 prospects are promising • 3GPP is a principle driver in IMT 2000 http://www.3gpp.org
