3GPP Mc specification across Releases Sample Clauses

3GPP Mc specification across Releases. 3GPP first defined Mc interface in Release 4. The definition of the interface took place considerably in advance of product implementation and so was kept intentionally open. Since then, as implementations have been developed, some clearly obvious default options have been selected and the beginnings of a de facto standard implementation has become apparent. However, because 3GPP will only allow the correction of significant technical problems, and because backwards compatibility with all theoretically possible implementations must be maintained, it is not possible to document the de facto emerging standard in 3GPP in subsequent Releases. II Profile definition Where implementation detail is not provided within this IA, 3GPP TS 29.232 [2] implementation specification shall take precedence over that in other specifications. Except where otherwise indicated, each section that follows has the same number as the section of 3GPP TS 29.232 [2] which it modifies. The following notation is used to identify the differing types of changes or modifications used compared to the specification in 3GPP TS 29.232 [2]. <AP> - indicates a provision which adds precision, but no new normative content. <NEW> - indicates new normative content. <NEW> in a section header indicates that the section heading is new relative to 3GPP TS 29.232 [2]. <CHG> - indicates changed normative content.
