Access Point Name. An Access Point Name ( APN) is the name of a gateway [ 1] between a mobile network ( GSM, GPRS, 3G, 4G and 5G) and another computer network, frequently the public Internet. [ 2] A mobile device making a data connection must be configured with an APN to present to the carrier. The carrier will then examine this identifier to ...
Access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF) is an entity within an evolved packet core (EPC) of the system architecture evolution (SAE) for 3GPP compliant mobile networks. The purpose of the ANDSF is to assist user equipment (UE) to discover non-3GPP access networks – such as Wi-Fi or WIMAX – that can be used for data ...
QoS Class Identifier ( QCI) is a mechanism used in 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks to ensure carrier traffic is allocated appropriate Quality of Service (QoS). Different carrier traffic requires different QoS and therefore different QCI values. QCI value 9 is typically used for the default carrier of a UE/PDN for non privileged subscribers.
Public land mobile network. In telecommunication, a public land mobile network ( PLMN) is a combination of wireless communication services offered by a specific operator in a specific country. [ 1][ 2] A PLMN typically consists of several cellular technologies like GSM / 2G, UMTS / 3G, LTE / 4G, NR/5G, offered by a single operator within a ...
The 3rd Generation Partnership Project ( 3GPP) is an umbrella term for a number of standards organizations which develop protocols for mobile telecommunications. Its best known work is the development and maintenance of: [ 1] GSM and related 2G and 2.5G standards, including GPRS and EDGE. UMTS and related 3G standards, including HSPA and HSPA+.
GPRS Tunnelling Protocolis the defining IP-based protocolof the GPRS core network. Primarily it is the protocol which allows end users of a GSM or WCDMA network to move from place to place while continuing to connect to the Internet as if from one location at the Gateway GPRS support node (GGSN). It does this by carrying the subscriber's data ...
High-Speed Uplink Packet Access ( HSUPA) is a 3G mobile telephony protocol in the HSPA family. It is specified and standardized in 3GPP Release 6 to improve the uplink data rate to 5.76 Mbit/s, extend capacity, and reduce latency. Together with additional improvements, this allows for new features such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP ...
The 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 ( 3GPP2) was a collaboration between telecommunications associations to make a globally applicable third generation ( 3G) mobile phone system specification within the scope of the ITU 's IMT-2000 project. In practice, 3GPP2 was the standardization group for CDMA2000, the set of 3G standards based on the ...
