1 Sco&!

The purpose of this report is to identify specialist technical terms used within the 3GPP project for the purposes ofspecifyin service reFuirements. The motivations for this are

7 To ensure that editors use terminoloy that is consistent across specifications.

7 To provide a reader with convenient reference for technical terms that are used across multiple documents.

7 To prevent inconsistent use of terminoloy across documents.

This document is a collection of terms- definitions and abbreviations related to the baseline documents definin 3GPPobjectives and systems framewor". This document provides a tool for further wor" on 3GPP technical documentationand facilitates their understandin.

The terms- definitions and abbreviations as iven in this document are either imported from e'istin documentation(2T!%- %T@ or elsewhere) or newly created by 3GPP e'perts whenever the need for precise vocabulary was identified.

2 R!!r!c!#The followin documents contain provisions which- throuh reference in this te't- constitute provisions of the presentdocument.
