Searching
To conduct a search select "TDoc Search" in the left hand side bar:
This will take you to our field search page, where you can define exactly what you want to find. It is possible to create a query piece by piece, selecting the different fields that your keywords are going to be searched in, and the operators that will help you make your query as specific as you need it to be. It allows for the most control over exactly what comes back in your search.
There are drop-down menus that will allow you to choose the fields and operators you want to include in your query, and text boxes to type in your keywords.

Change request (CR): A formal request submitted to propose modifications updates, or corrections to an existing technical document. CR Summary of Change: A concise overview of the proposed modifications, highlighting the key differences between the current version of the document and the proposed changes. CR Reason for Change: The rationale or justification behind the proposed modifications e.g. evolving industry requirements, technological advancements, or feedback from stakeholders.

| Work Group, Work Item |
Work groups are collaborative teams that are assigned TDocs for review, based on their technology. There are >16 work groups. Work item refers to a specific task or project that is undertaken within a work group. |
Work group: 3GPP CT Work item: PWDIMS-CT |
| TDoc Type | The classification or categorization of TDocs based on their purpose, content or stage in the standards development process. | Examples of TDoc types include CR, report, response, discussion, and response. |

Boolean Logic
Operators
The basic operators are AND, OR and NOT. They allow you to say whether words must be returned, whether they are optional, or not wanted at all.
OR: We would usually insert OR between terms used to provide a variant or set of options in your search. It retrieves patents containing either or both of the keywords or criteria.
AND: AND serves as a bridge between more than one term that you want to categorically appear with each other. It retrieves patents containing both keywords or criteria. Either keyword or criteria may appear first.
NOT: This operator works like the word NOT does in day to day life. If you want to look for some terms, but NOT others, you can list the others after the operator NOT. It retrieves patents containing the first keyword but not containing the second keyword.
Once you've formulated a query, you can preview the search query and view the count of documents found before executing with the search.
Search results page
Once you have received the results for a particular search, you'll soon realize there are various options available to you from that page. These allow you to edit your search query, sort results, refine your results, download source file, and highlight keywords.
TDoc View Page
From the results page, you can select a specific document you want to inspect. After doing so, you will enter the TDOC View page.
Where you can toggle between the Overview page, Full text page, PDF, and Similar TDocs.
- Overview page displaying key fields such as type, category, source and meeting fields
- Full Text page displaying the documents data and content
- PDF of the document
- Similar TDocs - identify relevant documents
Additionally, on the right side of the screen you'll find your original search results in a list alongside the keyword highlighter. Finally, just above you are able to download the source file and copy the link to this web page.
