EDGE and GERAN Ron, << P.S. Inter alia, EDGE came into being via the GERAN project >> EDGE cane into being well before their creation of TSG GERAN as part of GSM Phase 2+ R'98 published by ETSI. The beginning of the transfer of evolving GSM work (including GSM GPRS and EDGE) from ETSI to a new 3GPP UMTS technical group (GERAN) took place over 1½ years after 3GPP was formed in December 1998 and while GSM Phase 2+ and R'99 and 3G R'99 was in progress. The transfer completed in 2002. 5.3 Creation of TSG GERAN and approval of Terms of Reference (including modifications to other TSG Terms of reference) The report from the ad hoc group on the movement of GSM radio into 3GPP had recommended that if it is decided to transfer the GSM work, then it would best be accommodated in a new Technical Specification Group (TSG) to be called GERAN (GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network) [3GPP/OP#3(00)06r1]. The Organizational Partners had already agreed by email correspondence to the principles of transferring the work and of creating a new TSG. It was now formally proposed that the TSG should be created with the Terms of Reference proposed by the ad hoc group [3GPP/OP#3(00)07]. CWTS explained their support for the proposal but indicated a preference for separating the work of EDGE from that of GPRS. However, It was explained that EDGE was a new modulation type and not a standalone system and that to separate this work from the remaining GSM radio evolution work would not be practical. It was agreed that if this was still a matter for concern then it could be reviewed during the six month review which was foreseen for early 2002. The Partners agreed to the creation of TSG GERAN and approved the Terms of Reference [3GPP/OP#3(00)07]. Decision OP3/3: TSG GERAN created and Terms of Reference approved [3GPP/OP#3(00)07]. 3gpp.org 3gpp.org The initial UMTS 3G draft release was published by 3GPP in March 1999 but it was essentially the output of over two years of ETSI/ARIB work in which QUALCOMM participated but in a rather passive mode (until 2001). And yes, they also participated in ETSI GSM work from the time they created and staffed QUALCOMM Europe SARL in October or November 1997 while GPRS was introduced in R'97 (published in mid-98), but in a rather passive mode (until 2001).
