ETSI White Papers

ETSI White Papers provide informal overviews of various technical topics related to our activity. They summarize the work that we and other organizations have been doing on each topic, as well as highlighting broader issues related to the successful deployment of the technologies and services discussed.

Please note: The White Papers do not constitute an official or agreed position of ETSI, nor of our Members. The views expressed are entirely those of the authors.
