Overview
SIST-V ETSI/EG 201 718-1 V1.1.2:2003 outlines essential protocol requirements for delivering third-generation (3G) mobility management capabilities in evolved fixed networks. Focusing on the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) within the IMT-2000 framework, this standard addresses the first phase of transitioning fixed networks toward UMTS core networks, supporting compatibility, seamless roaming, and efficient mobility management.
The primary objective is to define clear criteria for protocol development, ensuring interoperability between legacy and evolved systems, including private and public network access. This foundational document facilitates alignment with 3GPP specifications and supports the move toward integrated mobile and fixed network services.
Key Topics
- Mobility Management in Evolved Fixed Networks
Identifies the essential mechanisms and procedures needed to manage subscriber location, authentication, and service profile mobility across interconnected fixed and mobile infrastructures. - Protocol Requirements for UMTS Phase 1
Outlines mandatory features for protocols to secure a smooth transition from GSM/GPRS to UMTS, including support for wired and cordless access. - Roaming Procedures and Interworking
Details requirements for seamless subscriber roaming both within single public networks and between different operator networks, including those with bilateral roaming agreements. - Reference Network Interfaces
Addresses integration and definition of critical interfaces (e.g., Uu, Iu, Wu, Zu) to connect mobile equipment, private networks, and public network domains. - Backward Compatibility
Emphasizes continuity with existing GSM and second-generation mobile protocols to enable "soft migration" and service consistency during network evolution.
Applications
This standard has broad practical value across the telecom sector, specifically for:
- Telecommunication Network Operators:
Ensures protocol support for seamless mobility management as fixed networks evolve toward UMTS. Enables roaming compatibility and alignment with international numbering and authentication schemes. - Protocol Developers and System Integrators:
Provides a reference for designing, updating, or validating network protocols to support third-generation mobility management, particularly in networks blending fixed and mobile infrastructures. - Private Networks and Enterprises:
Facilitates the integration of private access systems-both wired and cordless-into public UMTS networks, supporting business mobility requirements and secure access. - Equipment Manufacturers:
Guides device design to ensure compatibility with UMTS mobility management, supporting both traditional and next-generation network services.
By implementing these requirements, stakeholders can achieve greater flexibility, interoperability, and scalability in service provision, minimizing disruptions during the transition from legacy systems to advanced 3G mobile environments.

Foreword
This ETSI Guide (EG) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Services and Protocols for Advanced
Networks (SPAN).
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part EG covering the Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service (UMTS);
Mobility Management for evolved fixed networks, as identified below:
Part 1: "Phase 1";
Part 2: "Phase 2".
Introduction
UMTS is the European standard within the IMT2000 framework. UMTS will specify an IMT2000 system which will be
compatible with and use the IMT2000 standards to support the evolving services. It is therefore essential that the
features and the requirements identified for UMTS are related to the IMT2000 requirements.
Backward compatibility is a prerequisite of UMTS phase 1. It is expected that the transition from existing networks to
UMTS phase 1 will be as soft as possible. As a consequence, the protocol requirements work specified in the present
document, as well as the definition of protocols derived from it, should carefully consider the evolution from existing
mobility management protocols.

1 Scope
The present document defines the protocol requirements needed to provide third generation mobility management
capabilities in evolved fixed networks.
The present document focuses on the protocol requirements for the first phase of UMTS as defined by 3GPP.
3GPP defines G-UMTS based on GSM evolution. The present document studies how these 3GPP requirements can be
applied to the evolution from fixed networks towards UMTS.
In particular, the present document will address the case of cordless and fixed access to UMTS, including access from
private networks.
