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 this TS, it will be re-released by the TSG with an identifying change of release 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; Indicates TSG approved document under change control. y the second digit is incremented for all changes of substance, i.e. technical enhancements, corrections, updates, etc. z the third digit is incremented when editorial only changes have been incorporated in the document. 1 Scope The purpose of this report is to identify specialist technical terms used within the 3GPP project for the purposes of specifying service requirements. The motivations for this are: - To ensure that editors use terminology that is consistent across specifications. - To provide a reader with convenient reference for technical terms that are used across multiple documents. - To prevent inconsistent use of terminology across documents. This document is a collection of terms, definitions and abbreviations related to the baseline documents defining 3GPP objectives and systems framework. This document provides a tool for further work on 3GPP technical documentation and facilitates their understanding. The terms, definitions and abbreviations as given in this document are either imported from existing documentation (ETSI, ITU or elsewhere) or newly created by 3GPP experts whenever the need for precise vocabulary was identified. 2 References References may be made to: a) specific versions of publications (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.), in which case, subsequent revisions to the referenced document do not apply; or b) all versions up to and including the identified version (identified by "up to and including" before the version identity); or c) all versions subsequent to and including the identified version (identified by "onwards" following the version identity); or d) publications without mention of a specific version, in which case the latest version applies. A non-specific reference to an ETS shall also be taken to refer to later versions published as an EN with the same number.

A Acceptable Cell: A cell that the UE may camp on to make emergency calls. It must satisfy certain conditions. Access conditions: A set of security attributes associated with a file. Access delay: The value of elapsed time between an access request and a successful access (source: ITU-T X.140). Access Stratum SDU (Service Data Unit): Unit of data transferred over the access stratum SAP (Service Access Point) in the Core Network or in the User Equipment. Access protocol: A defined set of procedures that is adopted at an interface at a specified reference point between a user and a network to enable the user to employ the services and/or facilities of that network (source: ITU-T I.112). Accounting: The process of apportioning charges between the Home Environment, Serving Network and User. Accuracy: A performance criterion that describes the degree of correctness with which a function is performed. (The function may or may not be performed with the desired speed.) (source: ITU-T I.350). Active communication: a UE is in active communication when it has a CS connection established. For PS active communication is defined by the existence of one or more Activated PDP contexts. Either one or both of the mentioned active communications may occur in the UE. Active Set: Set of radio links simultaneously involved in a specific communication service between an UE and a UTRAN access point. Air Interface User Rate: The user rate between Mobile Termination and IWF. For T services it is the maximum possible AIUR not including padding. For NT services it is the maximum possible AIUR. ALCAP: Generic name for the transport signaling protocols used to set-up and tear-down transport bearers. Allowable PLMN: A PLMN which is not in the list of forbidden PLMN in the UE. Applet: A small program that is intended not to be run on its own, but rather to be embedded inside another application Application: An application consists of a set of security mechanisms, files, data and
