3GPP规范：命名方案
每份3GPP技术文档，技术报告(TR)或者技术规范(TR)，都被一个Reference唯一标示。这个Reference以3GPP前缀开始，后跟两个字符表示文档的类型(TS为技术报告，TR为技术规范）。在文档类型之后紧接着是规范的号码。规范号码具有aa.bbb或者aa.bb两种形式。其中aa指示文档的适用范围（见表1）。规范号码后面是版本Vx.y.z，其中x表示release，y表示技术版本，z表示修订版本。
另外注意每个release都有一个冻结日期，一般3GPP协议在冻结以后就不再修改。一般冻结日期为1年。
例如：以下文档定义了MMS Stage 1:
Reference 3GPP TS 23.140 V5.2.0
Title Multimedia Messaging Service, Stage 1
文档中有Stage 1,2,3之分。Stage 1规范了从服务使用者的角度阐述的一个服务；Stage 2规范描述了对需要解决的问题的逻辑分析；Stage 3就是技术实现。
