Presentation Transcript

  1. All you always wanted to know about 3GPP …but were too afraid to ask. The 3GPP Seminar

  2. The 3GPP SeminarModule 1 • Introduction to the Third Generation Partnership Project

  3. Introduction • Who is this course aimed at? • “Outsiders” wishing to gain an understanding of 3GPP’s role and working methods • New delegates to technical groups in 3GPP • Existing delegates considering standing for election as chairmen or vice-chairmen • Newly elected chairmen and vice-chairmen • New (and not so new) Support Team personnel

  4. What is 3GPP (and what is it not)? • It is … • A loose association of regional and national Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) from around the globe. • It is populated by … • Delegates representing member organizations of those SDOs. • Delegates of the SDOs themselves. • Delegates representing organizations considering becoming members

  5. What is 3GPP (and what is it not)? • It is … • A loose association of regional and national Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) from around the globe. • Terminology • Organizational Partner • One of the Standards Development Organizations which have signed the 3GPP Agreement, and which set general policy and jointly fund the principle costs of the Project. • http://www.3gpp.org/partners

  6. It is not … • A government agency • A regulatory body • An arm of the ITU or the United Nations • An arm of the EU or of CEPT • A certification body • A frequency-allocation body • A legally constituted entity

  7. 3GPP’s mission … … is to Prepare, approve and maintain Technical Specifications and Technical Reports for mobile telecommunications systems including the following radio technologies: • UTRA (third generation), FDD and TDD, plus its evolution including HSPA • GSM (second generation) including its enhancements EDGE and GPRS • Further evolution to LTE, LTE-Advanced (fourth generation) and the associated core network and other technologies, including IMS. http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/webExtensions/3gppAgreement/3GPP_Scopeando310807.pdf

  8. Terminology • Internet Protocol Multimedia core network Subsystem (IMS) • Packetization of core network protocols, extending to terminals, to allow full multimedia traffic and signalling based on internet protocols • http://www.3gpp.org/Keywords-WCDMA-HSPA-LTE-etc • Terminology • Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) • Uplink and downlink use separate frequencies • Terminology • High Speed Packet Access (HSPA)High Speed Download Packet Access (HSDPA)High Speed Upload Packet Access (HSUPA) • Evolution of UTRA to provide higher data rates • Terminology • LTE™ • New radio technology coupled with simplified architecture yielding performance approaching 4G • http://www.3gpp.org/Keywords-WCDMA-HSPA-LTE-etc • Terminology • Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) • Second generation digital system developed in ETSI and subsequently transferred to 3GPP • 3GPP’s mission … … is to Prepare, approve and maintain Technical Specifications and Technical Reports for mobile telecommunications systems including the following radio technologies: • UTRA (third generation), FDD and TDD, plus its evolution including HSPA • GSM (second generation) including its enhancements EDGE and GPRS • Further evolution to LTE, LTE-Advanced (fourth generation) and the associated core network and other technologies, including IMS. http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/webExtensions/3gppAgreement/3GPP_Scopeando310807.pdf • Terminology • General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) • 2.5G radio technology providing packet data • http://www.3gpp.org/article/gprs-edge • Terminology • LTE-Advanced™ • Further development of LTE offering true 4G performance • Terminology • Time Division Duplex (TDD) • Uplink and downlink share the same frequency • Terminology • Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) • The original 3rd generation radio technology developed by 3GPP • http://www.3gpp.org/partners • Terminology • Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) • 2.75G radio technology increasing bitrates to lower bounds of 3G • http://www.3gpp.org/article/gprs-edge

  9. Components of 3GPP • Organizational Partners SDOs which have signed up to the 3GPP Agreement* and which jointly set policy and are responsible for overall governance. Senior officials of the OPs ordinarily meet twice a year to exercise these powers. http://www.3gpp.org/partners • Market Representation Partners Commercial organizations with an interest in furthering the technologies developed by 3GPP and with the capability to influence the market for such technologies. http://www.3gpp.org/Market-Representation-Partners * http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/webExtensions/3gppAgreement/3gppagre.pdf

  12. PCG Project Coordination Group The PCG is responsible for overall governance of 3GPP. It sets high level policy, formally appoints elected TSG chairmen and vice-chairmen, ensuring regional balance, and – though very rarely called upon to act as arbiter of technical disputes – is the ultimate court of appeal within 3GPP. http://www.3gpp.org/Project-Coordination-Group-PCG

  13. Technical Specification Groups To avoid unnecessary delays in the development of 3GPP’s technical work, four hierarchically equal TSGs exist, each responsible for a reasonably well defined an largely autonomous area of activity.

  14. TSGGERAN Technical Specification Group GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network Created on the closure of ETSI Technical Committee SMG in 2000, when all the GSM (2G) Specifications were transferred from ETSI to 3GPP. Responsible for maintenance and enhancement of GSM/EDGE specifications. GERAN-based systems are still the most wide-spread cellular technology in the world. http://www.3gpp.org/GERAN

  15. TSGRAN Technical Specification Group Radio Access Network • Created at the outset of 3GPP to develop the new 3G radio technology specifications. • Now responsible for • UTRA and HSPA • LTE™ • LTE-Advanced ™ • and thus bridging the gap between 3G and 4G. • http://www.3gpp.org/RAN

  16. TSGCT Technical Specification Group Core Network and Terminals Created in 2005 on closure of two original TSGs Core Network (CN) and Terminals (T). Responsible for the development of the fixed (“wired”) network aspects of 3GPP systems, including the Mobile Application Part (MAP) of ITU-T Signalling System No. 7, CAMEL and related Intelligent Network (IN) aspects and much more. http://www.3gpp.org/rubrique34

  17. TSGSA Technical Specification Group System Aspects and Architecture Created at the outset of 3GPP to handle common system aspects such as requirements, overall architecture, security, codecs, O&M. SA also has a coordination role to ensure that all TSGs work in harmony. However, SA is not hierarchically above the other TSGs. http://www.3gpp.org/32

  18. The Working Groups Each TSG has a number of subtending Working Groups, which are responsible for carrying out the detailed technical work and developing the publishable TSs and TRs.

  20. RAN Working Groups R1 - Radio aspects R2 - Protocols R3 - O&M R4 - Radio performance, parameterization, network testing R5 - Terminal testing
