scope:

The present document identifies the 3rd generation mobile system specifications for Release 5. The specifications and reports of 3GPP Release 5 have a major version number 5 (e.g. 5.x.y).

Most of the core Release 5 Technical Specifications and Technical Reports were functionally frozen at either the 15th Technical Specification Group meetings in March 2002 or the 16th in June 2002.

NOTE 1: Functionally frozen means that no further functionality/features may be incorporated into the set of specifications, and that only corrective Change Requests (CRs) are to be accepted and agreed.

NOTE 2: It can be expected that corrective CRs will be introduced into the Release 5 version 5.x.y specifications throughout 2002 and beyond.
