RAN
3G systems should be based on new wide band, multimode, flexible radio access. This approach will ensure that systems based on 3GPP specifications will be capable of rapid development and deployment of competitive service offerings while still enabling global roaming.
TSG Radio Access Network (TSG RAN) is responsible for the definition of the functions, requirements and interfaces of the UTRA/E-UTRA network in its two modes, FDD & TDD. More precisely: radio performance, physical layer, layer 2 and layer 3 RR specification in UTRAN/E-UTRAN; specification of the access network interfaces (Iu, Iub, Iur, S1 and X2); definition of the O&M requirements in UTRAN/E-UTRAN and conformance testing for User Equipment and Base Stations...more
SA
The TSG Service and System Aspects (TSG-SA) is responsible for the overall architecture and service capabilities of systems based on 3GPP specifications and, as such, has a responsibility for cross TSG co-ordination...more
GERAN
Operators of GSM/GPRS systems need a strategy for future growth and interoperability, the evolution of GSM/EDGE radio access technologies offers such a path. TSG GERAN is responsible for the specification of the Radio Access part of GSM/EDGE...more
CT
The TSG Core Network and Terminals (TSG CT) is responsible for specifying terminal interfaces (logical and physical), terminal capabilities (such as execution environments) and the Core network part of 3GPP systems...more
