All 3G and GSM specifications have a 3GPP specification number consisting of.; 4 or 5 digits. (e.g. 09.02 or 29.002). The first two digits define the series as listed in the table below. They are followed by 2 further digits for the 01 to 13 series or 3 further digits for the 21 to 55 series..; The term "3G" means a 3GPP system using a UTRAN radio access network; the term "GSM" means a 3GPP system using a GERAN radio access network..; (Thus "GSM" includes GPRS and EDGE features.)
The full title, specification number and latest version number for every specification can be found in the current status list [warning: large file!] (see also main specs page for status lists pertaining to each TSG SA meeting) and more information about terms such as R99 and Rel-4 can be found on the Releases and phases page. A specification in the 21 to 35 series may apply either to 3G only or to GSM and 3G. A clue lies in the third digit, where a "0" indicates that it applies to both systems. For example, 29.002 applies to 3G and GSM systems whereas 25.101 and 25.201 apply only to 3G. Most specs in all other series apply only to GSM systems..; However, as the spec numbering space has been used up, this guide is frequently broken, and it is necessary to examine the information page for each spec (see the table below) or to check the lists in 01.01 / 41.101 (GSM) and 21.101 (3G) for the definitive specification sets for each system and each Release.

The 3GPP Specifications are stored on the file server as zipped MS-Word files. The filenames have the following structure:
SM[-P[-Q]]-V.zipwhere the character fields have the following significance ...
S = series number - 2 characters (see the table above)
M = mantissa (the part of the spec number after the series number) - 2 or 3 characters (see above)
P = optional part number - 1 or 2 digits if present
Q = optional sub-part number - 1 or 2 digits if present
V =
version number, without separating dots - 3 digits.;
So for example:
21900-320.zip is 3GPP TR 21.900 version 3.2.0
0408-6g0.zip is 3GPP TS 04.08 version 6.16.0
32111-4-410 is 3GPP TS 32.111 part 4 version 4.1.0
29998-04-1-100 is 3GPP TS 29.998 part 4 sub-part 1 version 1.0.0
