Semi-OT: 3G Group accepts GSM standards Washington – The members of the 3G Partnership Program, including the US T1 standards committee, agreed at a meeting in Beijing last week to accept the GSM standards-evolution work from the European Telecommunications Standards Institute’s technical committee on Special Mobile, or SMG. As a result, SMG will close out its 18 years of work on the Global System for Mobile Communications standard, and transfer work on GSM’s evolution to the 3GPP. This work will include radio interface standards, smart-card standards and specifications for the testing of mobile stations. The 3GPP members from the United States, China, Europe, Japan, and Korea agreed to create a new technical specification group – dubbed Geran, for GSM/Edge Radio Access Network – to take on this work. Geran will focus on the GSM- and TDMA-oriented third generation (3G) technologies being considered, including two packet-radio schemes: the General Packet Radio Service and Enhanced Data for Global Evolution (EDGE) proposals.
