LOCATION SERVICES

TS 22.071   LCS Stage 1 (for GSM and UMTS)
TS 03.71     LCS Stage 2 for GSM
TS 23.171   LCS Stage 2 for UMTS
Location Services is a feature providing the ability to localize a terminal (MS - Mobile Station in GSM and UE - User Equipment in UMTS). This location information is used to provide services to the end-user (e.g. to offer a local map with indication of closest restaurants, etc), for emergency services or for “internal clients”, i.e. a UMTS network entity, like an RNC to direct the beam when space diversity is used (not used at least up to Release 6).

CELL BROADCAST SERVICE

TS 23.041 Technical realization of Cell Broadcast Service (CBS)
This work item refers to the applicability of the Cell Broadcast Service (as defined for GSM network) to 3G networks.

3GPP

 

LAWFUL INTERCEPTION

TS 33.106: Lawful Interception Requirements (Stage 1)
TS 33.107: Lawful Interception Architecture and Functions (Stage 2)

3GPP

WID in
SP-030039 

Priority Service (Rel6)

There is a need to provide to authorized users (e.g. military, civil authorities) a preferential access to the network during crisis situations when the service might be restricted due to damage, congestion, or other faults. 
The objective of this WI is to provide a secure and manageable mechanism to identify priority users and mark and guarantee their communications from access and call set up through to call completion.  In the case of communications terminating on a mobile device, priority service includes priority egress.

Support of Conversational Services in A/Gb mode via the PS domain (Rel6)

The overall goal is to introduce support for conversational services in the PS domain in A/Gb mode with a minimal impact on existing systems and standards. The current functional split of the protocol architecture between core and radio access network will be maintained.

3GPP

WID in
SP-030341
