(04. April 2003) This is a poster of one square meter size (DIN A0) titled "Building Next-Generation Mobile Networks". You need rather big printer to get this printed. I think this poster gives a good overview over the structure of a mobile core network containing GERAN and UTRAN parts. |

I think this file provides a good overview of many aspects (history, technical, standards, applications, business models) of mobile communication. |

(14. April 03) TR 21.905 Vocabulary for 3GPP Specifications, seems to include former GSM Recommendation 01.04. I consider this recommendation as a good point to start modelling of the the "reference model". |

This link leads to a full list of the Z-series recommendations of the ITU. The Z-series deal with languages and general software aspects for telecommunication systems. These recommendations deal with SDL (Specification and Description Language) and its relation to ASN.1, UML, MSC (Message Sequence Charts in this context) and the TTCN (Tree and Tabular Combined Notation) |

(26. May 2003) I got this link from the "standards" page listed above. This reference seems to contain the complete set of ITU-T recommendations pertaining to Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) and ASN.1 Encoding Rules (ITU-T Rec. X.680 - 684, X 691 - 693). The files are in word format. I do not know if this is a working draft only and if the official version is be freely available. |
