The 3GPP unites seven telecommunications standard development organizations to help them produce reports and specifications for that define 3GPP technologies.

3GPP specifications cover cellular telecommunications technologies, including radio access, core network and service capabilities, which provide a complete system description for mobile telecommunications.

3GPP was created in 1998 to develop 3G mobile standards for WCDMA and TD-SCDMA accesses and their core networks. The aim was to maintain and evolve the ETSI standards for the (2G) GSM system.

Learn about the best ways to get the specification and how to find the technology areas covered by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

3GPP uses a system of parallel "Releases" which provide developers with a stable platform for the implementation of features at a given point and then allow for the addition of new functionality in subsequent Releases.

The 3GPP specifications have a specification number, used to describe the work. Find here links to listings of the specifications & reports in each series.

Aug 8, 2022 · The Fifth Generation of Mobile Telephony, or 5G, or 5GS, is the system defined by 3GPP from Release 15, functionally frozen in June 2018 and fully specified by September 2019.

Dec 4, 2023 · With its work on 3G, 4G and 5G specifications used by billions of communications services consumers globally, 3GPP stands ready to create the 6G future. 3GPP Organizational Partners: ARIB, ATIS, CCSA, ETSI, TSDSI, TTA and TTC today announced that 3GPP will develop the next generation of global communications specifications.
