3GPP Terms and Abbreviations

3GPP uses a large number of terms and abbreviations.  Each Technical Specification and Technical Report contains a "Definitions" clause, and this is normally the first place to look if the term you seek is used in a particular TS or TR.

Terms and abbreviations commonly used throughout 3GPP documents can be found in 3GPP TR 21.905.

All terms and abbreviations defined in ETSI publications can be found on-line at ETSI's TEDDI application.

In addition, ITU maintains a similar database, SANCHO.

If all else fails ... try Google, Yahoo, MSN Search, or another web search application!
