Links to 3GPP standards, reports, and documents broken out by release

General links for 3GPP

• Vocabulary for 3GPP Specs (Release 17)
• Explanation of Release Methodology
  
• 3GPP Spec numbering conventions
• Page pointing to all specs based on Release number
• 3GPP Work Plan
• Hint:  Given a TR or TS number  the fastest way to find the link pointing to all versions of the document is to google  "3GPP xx Series"
• Example:  Given the document name:  TS 38.322,     google  '3GPP 38 Series" 
  

Specification Organization and Naming Conventions -  fully described on the 3GPP page
Cheat sheet:

• Technical Specification Groups  (Top level Standards Classification Method)
• Radio Access Network (RAN)
• Service and System Aspects (SA)
• Core Network and Terminals (CT)
  

• Within a TSG,  Naming/numbering Conventions

Several helpful academic survey papers on 3GPP V2X

• Nice overview of NR-V2X requirements and intro to relevant standards:  V2X in 3GPP Standardization: NR Sidelink in Rel-16 and Beyond
• Two detailed descriptions of SPS (prior to Rel 17 enhancements) :
•  3GPP NR V2X Mode 2: Overview, Models and System-Level Evaluation

Core  Tech Reports, Tech Standards relevant to our study -
    This list pulls the links from the larger lists on this page that represents a small but sufficient set of  3GPP documents that cover the areas relevant to V2X and Sidelink mode, with a focus on Release 17.  You might find that the links  in this list point to a local copy while the links in the larger list point to the page holding a list of links to all versions.

This page holds links to V2X  standards from the US DOT perspective 

• US DOT Updates  - evolve the  Connected Vehicle standards for CV2X
