How to read 3GPP Specs

Hello guys ,


I am figuring out a way where I can post out some thoughts of mine for quick refrence . To start with allow me to publish this LTE releated specfication reading mechanism.

Many a times for freshers and even for the experienced guys it becomes difficult to figure out how to actually read a 3GPP Techinal Specification (TS) . Before reading the specs you should understand what is the nomenclature of the specs.

All 3GPP Techinical Specifications start with keywrd TS and have a specification number consisting of 4 or 5 digits.
The first two digits define the series i.e 23 series , 29 series etc followed by a dot(.) and further digits. After the decimal there could be 2 digits or three digits . The 2 decimal digits are for the series ranging between 01 to 13 and the 3 digit decimal number is for the series ranging between 21 to 55.
Eg: TS 09.02 or TS 23.401

The "version" is comprised of three fields:
1.major
2.technical
3. editorial
and each has a numeric value, starting with zero. The fields are separated with dots, and the version number shows major, technical and editorial fields respectively from left to right. Thus a spec whose major field is 4, whose technical field is 7 and whose editorial field is 1 would be shown as version 4.7.1.

The major version field reflects the stage of the spec:

0 = immature draft
1 = draft which is at least 60% complete and has been presented / will shortly be presented to the responsible TSG for information
2 = draft which is at least 80% complete and has been presented / will shortly be presented to the responsible TSG for approval
3 or greater = spec which has been approved by the responsible TSG and is under change control.

The technical version field is incremented each time a technical change is made to the spec as a result of the drafting process (major version <= 2) or as a result of the incorporation of one or more approved Change Requests (major version > 2).

The editorial version field is incremented each time a non-technical change is made to the spec, for example to correct trivial typographical errors

I am too a part of Corupted Culture !!!

Hello,
Being a citizen of a rapidly developing nation I was very happy the way my Country is progressing in 21st century. The participation of intellectuals in International Summits , enormous knowledge hub of IT professionals , highest number of candidates clearing one of world toughest exam like IAS, IPS etc... WoW I am a part of this .... Feels Great and sense of Pride in it .

Thats ALL in VAIN !!! lets SHUT UP and face the reality......



Case 1 . : Is road construction a rocket science which we fail to understand ..
If dinosaurs have a come back they will definitely select this land to rehabilitate as the ground conditions are same as that they have left . Lets welcome them with 10 X 10 potholes to lay their eggs , eroded TAR Rd for finer grip while the play and plenty of water logging for their spa and pedicure . We can evolve from single screen to multiplexes , from CRT to LCD/LED , from poha, idlli to cornflakes and juice but but but from bad roads to worst roads..



Why the hell am I paying 30% of my income as tax ? Probably to be spent on some party for ministers daughter or could it be to build a new High Storey for them ? hmmmm ... too many reasons !!!
Case 2 Jago Grahak aur paise Do
Is this the motto of Mall vendors and stores ... especially the eatery section .
Wada Pav : Rs 90-/_
Masala dosa : Rs 115 -/_
Tea : Rs 25
Masala Tea : Rs 40 -/_
Drinking Water (MRP 10 ) : Rs 25 with Tissue
Bill : All Fake

Guys are these vendors worth it ?? Can they match the quality , hygiene , process , management which McDonalds , pizza huts have CCD , Costa coffee have ??? . Instead these people have launched low price menus to reach out to larger audiences. Hope people protest to pay if they find sub standard quality and raise concerns.
I happen to be coming from mumbai to pune and after the first toll I stopped by for refreshments .. Excellent place and memories .. I took a packed water bottle prised MRP 15 and the vendor asked me for 25 bucks .. OOps I thought i grabbed a wrong drink .. no no No its same bottle with mrp 15 . On questioning the vendor about bill and extra charges he rudely asked me to quit the sale and leave his counter. Isnt that a great way of welcoming the travellers ??
This has been going on the mubai - pune express highway since ages but no one seems to be bothered.

Anyways i have to much to write about but let me hold my horses right on before i get carried away. The sad saga of this is that I too have to be a part of this custom directly or indirectly.
Thus accepting all this I now fearlessly say "I am too a part of Corrupted Culture "...
