Keywords
At the bottom (Right hand side) of each page on the 3GPP web site, there is a list of some keywords and acronyms, where an article has been written to provide some background material on the topic. There is also a Keywords page that contains further links to pages about specific technologies.
3GPP Series
Some technologies can be [at least partially] aligned with a 3GPP series (See the full list of spec. series at: https://www.3gpp.org/specifications/specification-numbering )

Technical terms
The 3GPP Report ‘Vocabulary for 3GPP Specifications’ identifies specialist technical terms used within the 3GPP;
- 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.
