The
3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is a collaboration
agreement that brings together a number of telecommunications
standards bodies. The original scope of 3GPP was to produce
globally applicable Technical Specifications and Technical
Reports for a 3rd Generation Mobile System based on evolved
GSM core networks and the radio access technologies that they
support (i.e., Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) both
Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD)
modes). The scope was subsequently amended to include the
maintenance and development of the Global System for Mobile
communication (GSM) Technical Specifications and Technical
Reports including evolved radio access technologies (e.g.
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and Enhanced Data rates
for GSM Evolution (EDGE)). |
