27、the 3rdGeneration Partnership Project (3GPP). The contents of the present document are subject to continuing work within the TSG and may change following formal TSG approval. Should the TSG modify the contents of the present document, it will be re-released by the TSG with an identifying change of r

28、elease date and an increase in version number as follows: Version x.y.z where: x the first digit: 1 presented to TSG for information; 2 presented to TSG for approval; 3 or greater indicates TSG approved document under change control. y the second digit is incremented for all changes of substance, i.

29、e. technical enhancements, corrections, updates, etc. z the third digit is incremented when editorial only changes have been incorporated in the document. Introduction In order to ensure correctness and consistency of the specifications (i.e., technical specifications and technical reports) under re

30、sponsibility of the Technical Specification Groups (TSG) of the 3rdGeneration Partnership Project (3GPP), clear, manageable and efficient mechanisms are necessary to handle version control, change control, document updating, distribution and management. Also, the fact that the specifications are/wil

31、l be implemented by industry almost in parallel with the writing of them requires strict and fast procedures for handling of changes to the specifications. It is very important that the changes that are brought into the standard, from the past, at present and in the future, are well documented and c

32、ontrolled, so that technical consistency and backwards tracing are ensured. The 3GPP TSGs, and their sub-groups together with the Support Team are responsible for the technical content and consistency of the specifications whilst the Support Team alone is responsible for the proper management of the

33、 entire documentation, including specifications, meeting documents, administrative information and information exchange with other bodies. ETSI ETSI TR 121 900 V13.1.0 (2017-01)63GPP TR 21.900 version 13.1.0 Release 131 Scope This document outlines the working methods to be used by the 3GPP Technica

34、l Specification Groups and their Working Groups and their Sub-Groups, and by the 3GPP Support Team in relation to document management, i.e. handling of specifications, updating procedures, Change Request procedures, version control mechanisms, specifications status information etc. It complements th

35、e rules and procedures defined for 3GPP. This document does not stipulate the details of the internal working of the TSG Sub-Groups. From the Technical Specification Group point of view, a task and responsibility is given to a Working Group directly answering to the Technical Specification Group. In

36、 practice, the work/task may be carried out in a subgroup of that Working Group. 1A References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document. - References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition

37、 number, version number, etc.) or non-specific. - For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply. - For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the lates

40、the following terms and those in 3GPP TR 21.905 2 apply. building block: sub-division of a feature, representing a coherent set of technical functionality which would generally be expected to reside in a single system element. change control: procedure whereby proposed modifications to a specificati

41、on are presented for approval to the TSG as formal Change Requests. closed: specification status in which no changes of any kind to the specification are permitted. Change Request (CR): formal proposal presented on a standard form to modify a specification which is under change control. draft: speci

42、fication status prior to change control, in which changes may be made without formal Change Requests. early implementation: implementation of a particular feature on a platform of a release earlier than the release that contains the feature. feature: new or substantially enhanced functionality which

43、 represents added value to the existing system. ETSI ETSI TR 121 900 V13.1.0 (2017-01)73GPP TR 21.900 version 13.1.0 Release 13frozen: specification status in which only essential corrections are permitted. functionality: normative text contained in one or more Technical Specifications, correspondin

44、g either to a feature or to some portion of a feature. Group: TSG or TSG Sub-Group. major version: For version x.y.z of a specification, x is called the major version. Example: For version 3.2.0 of a specification, the major version is 3. specification: generic term standing for Technical Specificat

45、ion and Technical Report. Study Item: type of Work Item which will conduct feasibility studies and will result in a Technical Report TSG: Technical Specification Group. TSG change control: specification status in which the Technical Specification Group is responsible for approval of Change Requests.

46、 TSG Sub-Group: Working Group or subgroup of a Working Group or of a Sub-Group. Working Group (WG): official subgroup of a TSG reporting to that TSG. WG Change Control: specification status in which the Working Group is responsible for agreeing Change Requests for submission to the TSG for approval.

47、 version: unique identifier in the form x.y.z for a specification at a given point in time. Example: version 3.12.3. withdrawn: specification status in which the given version of the specification no longer belongs to the appropriate set of valid specifications. Work Item (WI): description of an enh

48、ancement to a technical area, which may be categorized as Study Item, Feature, Building Block or Work Task. Work Item description (WID): description of a Work Item in a standard Work Item Description sheet. work task: sub-division of a building block, representing a self-contained, well-scoped and w

49、ell-scheduled item of work. 3 General responsibilities of the Support Team 3.1 Specifications, meetings and liaisons The Support Team is responsible for the management of the work of the TSGs. This includes editorship and management of specifications once they have been put under TSG change control. It also includes preparation of and support for the meetings (including meeting reports) of the TSGs and their Working Groups, and subgroups in descending priority. It furthermore includes liaison with other bodies and relevant groups and institutions. 3.2 Registration
