Interesting 3GPP specs / work areas to look at

This is merely a historical archive of years 2008-2021, before the migration to mailman3.

Dear all,

I've gone through the high-level list of change areas / projects from
Rel-4 through Rel-14 and collected a list of those parts that seemed
like they could be interesting from an Osmocom point of view.

In case you're curious and enjoy reading 3GPP docs as much as I do,
feel free to check out
http://projects.osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Interesting3GPPSpecsForDevelopers

Some parts were just recently mentioned, like Extended Uplink TBF,
Network Assisted Cell Change, MNCC-SIP interface, Local Call Local
Switch.  We also already knew about the "Real" A-over-IP specification
(different from the SCCPlite A interface that OsmoBSC implements), and
A5/4.

There's quite some other interesting bits and pieces, such as for
example the feasibility study on GSM/EDGE BTS power saving, where they
propose (it's not accepted yet) to reduce the transmit power on the
BCCH-carrying TRX at certain points in the time multiplex.

Enjoy,
	Harald
