McPheters Lucent Technologies June 2001 3GPP2-IETF Standardization Collaboration Status of this Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Copyright Notice Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2001). All Rights Reserved. Abstract This document describes the standardization collaboration between 3GPP2 and IETF. 1. Conventions used in this document This document uses significant terminology that is specialized to IETF, 3GPP2, or their areas of work. See appendix A for definitions of acronyms. The organizational definitions can be found in their respective web-sites. 2. Introduction This document contains a set of principles and guidelines that serves as the basis for establishing the collaboration between 3GPP2 and IETF, with the objective of securing timely development of technical specification that facilitate maximum interoperability with existing (fixed and mobile) Internet systems, devices, and protocols. Bradner, et al. Informational [Page 1] RFC 3131 3GPP2-IETF Standardization Collaboration June 2001 Each organization will operate according to their own rules and procedures including rules governing IPR policy, specification elaboration, approval and maintenance. 3. Reasons For Collaboration 3.1 3GPP2 use of IETF Internet Standards In the further development of 3GPP2 specifications, the benefit of adopting Internet specifications has been identified. The preferred 3GPP2 approach is to use the Internet standards unchanged, if feasible. In any case, 3GPP2 has no intention to duplicate work performed in IETF. However, while this document recognizes the importance of 3GPP2 interoperability with the existing Internet and hence the use of IETF standards, 3GPP2 recognizes that additions or modifications might be needed in order to make the IETF internet specification fulfill the needs of 3GPP2. In such cases, 3GPP2 will take its concerns directly to the appropriate IETF working groups for resolution, or to an appropriate Area Director if no appropriate working group can be found. 3.2 IETF access to 3GPP2 Wireless expertise The technical work in 3GPP2 is organized in Technical Specification Groups TSGs each with their area of responsibilities. TSG-A and TSG-C are responsible for the Radio Access networks based on CDMA and thus the experts in the areas of the characteristics of the physical transport. TSG-N is responsible for the Mobility Management and other core network protocol and functionalities. TSG-P is responsible for data services and applications. TSG-S is responsible for the service and system aspects including the overall architecture, security and O&M aspects. Contacts for the TSGs can be found on the 3GPP2 web-site www.3gpp2.org. 4. Document Sharing Both 3GPP2 and IETF encourage the sharing of draft documents that are of mutual interest. 3GPP2 working documents are available on its official web-site, and are grouped according to the meeting. These documents can be found on the 3GPP2 ftp server, which is open to anyone, at ftp://ftp.3gpp2.org. 3GPP2 specifications, those that have completed the 15-day Steering Committee review, can be found at: Bradner, et al. Informational [Page 2] RFC 3131 3GPP2-IETF Standardization Collaboration June 2001 http://www.3gpp2.org/Public_html/Specs/index.cfm IETF documents, including preliminary working documents ("Internet Drafts") are available on its web-site (http://www.ietf.org/) and various shadow sites. IETF representatives can obtain information about the 3GPP2 document and web-site structures by contacting the relevant 3GPP2 contactShow full document text
