References-naming rules for 3GPP documents)

Today, I am reading mobile messaging technologies and services, which describes the naming principles of 3GPP documents. I translated it into Chinese and sorted it out as a small document for reference. For more precise descriptions, see mobile messaging technologies and services.

3GPP specification: naming scheme
Each 3GPP technical document, Technical Report (TR) or technical specification (TR) is uniquely identified by a reference. This reference starts with the 3GPP prefix and is followed by two characters to indicate the document type (TS is the technical report, TR is the Technical Specification ). The document type is followed by a standard number. The standard number can be aa. BBB or AA. BB. AA indicates the applicability of the document (see table 1 ). The specification number is followed by the version VX. Y. Z. X indicates release, y indicates technology version, and Z indicates revision version.
Note that each release has a frozen date. Generally, the 3GPP protocol will not be modified after it is frozen. Generally, the frozen date is one year.
For example, the following document defines MMS Stage 1:
Reference 3GPP ts 23.140 v5.2.0
Title Multimedia Messaging Service, stage 1
There are stages 1, 2, and 3 in the document. Stage 1 describes a service from the perspective of service users. Stage 2 describes the logic analysis of the problems to be solved. Stage 3 is the technical implementation.
3GPP specifications can be obtained from http://www.3gpp.org.
