What is the 3GPP contribution search?
The 3GPP contribution search on the IPlytics Platform is an essential tool for exploring and examining the collaborative efforts that shape the development of mobile communication standards. This feature allows users to delve into the contributions made by various companies and organizations to the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), which is responsible for setting standards for mobile networks, including 3G, 4G, and 5G.
When searching for 3GPP contributions, users can access detailed data on each contribution, including the contributing companies, the status of the contribution, and the associated technical specifications. The platform's search interface is designed to be user-friendly, offering a range of search fields that allow users to refine their search criteria based on specific needs, such as technology generation or standard document ID.
How to conduct the search
To access the 3GPP contribution database, choose the data provider search field in the standards database:

Analytics View
After executing your search, you can navigate via the analytics sections to analyze standard contributions:
In the analytics view, users can visualize and analyze the distribution of contributions across different companies and technologies. This feature provides valuable insights into the collaborative landscape of 3GPP standardization efforts, helping users understand the key players and their roles in shaping mobile communication standards.
Search Data View
Furthermore, the search data view allows you to check the specific contributions and allows you to export the contribution information in a table view:
A unique aspect of the 3GPP contribution data is the concept of "Contribution Weight." This metric is used to account for contributions that are supported by multiple organizations. Each contribution is represented as a single row in the search data view, regardless of the number of supporting companies.
Contribution Weight
The "Contribution Weight" is calculated as 1 divided by the number of supporting organizations (N), providing a fractional representation of each company's involvement. For instance, if a contribution is supported by five companies, each company would have a contribution weight of 0.2.
Supporting Organizations Count
The platform also includes a "Supporting Organizations Count" to indicate the number of companies involved in a contribution.
First Supporting Organization
While the "First Supporting Organization" is listed, it is considered a random selection and does not hold additional significance in the analysis. To determine the number of contributions per company, users should aggregate the "Contribution Weight" assigned to each company.
Summary
Overall, the 3GPP contribution search and contribution weight metrics on the IPlytics Platform offer a comprehensive view of the collaborative efforts in mobile network standardization, empowering users to make informed decisions and strategic plans based on detailed contribution data.
