This TS describes the Service Principles for PLMNs specified by 3GPP.
3GPP specifications provide integrated personal communications services. The system will support different applications ranging from narrow-band to wide-band communications capability with integrated personal and terminal mobility to meet the user and service requirements of the 21st century.
3GPP specifications allow the realisation of a new generation of mobile communications technology for a world in which personal communications services should allow person-to-person calling, independent of location, the terminal used, the means of transmission (wired or wireless) and the choice of technology. Personal communication services should be based on a combination of fixed and wireless/mobile services to form a seamless end-to-end service for the user.
3GPP specifications should be in compliance with the following objectives:
-
to provide a single integrated system in which the user can access services in an easy to use and uniform way in all environments;
-
to allow differentiation between service offerings of various serving networks and home environments;
-
to provide a wide range of telecommunications services including those provided by fixed networks and requiring user bit rates of up to 100 Mbit/s as well as services special to mobile communications. These services should be supported in residential, public and office environments and in areas of diverse population densities. These services are provided with a quality comparable with that provided by fixed networks such as ISDN and fixed broadband Internet access;
-
to provide services via hand held, portable, vehicular mounted, movable and fixed terminals (including those which normally operate connected to fixed networks), in all environments (in different service environments - residential, private domestic and different radio environments) provided that the terminal has the necessary capabilities;
-
to provide support of roaming users by enabling users to access services provided by their home environment in the same way even when roaming.
-
to provide audio, data, video and particularly multimedia services;
-
to provide for the flexible introduction of telecommunication services;
-
to provide within the residential environment the capability to enable a pedestrian user to access all services normally provided by fixed networks;
-
to provide within the office environment the capability to enable a pedestrian user to access all services normally provided by PBXs and LANs;
-
to provide a substitute for fixed networks in areas of diverse population densities, under conditions approved by the appropriate national or regional regulatory authority.
-
to provide support for interfaces which allow the use of terminals normally connected to fixed networks.
