In plain words
TS 29.002 covers signalling needs for roaming Mobile Stations (MS)s between entities of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). It describes the information as "information specific to the PLMN in order to deal with the specific behaviour of roaming Mobile Stations (MS)s." It sets out requirements for the signalling system and procedures needed at the application level to fulfil these signalling needs.

How this page was made
The facts box and the tables come straight from the 3GPP specification archive and CR database as indexed by 3GPP Scout. An AI model (GPT-6 Luna) wrote the paragraph and named the source of each sentence. Code checked every quote word for word against the stored source text and every number against the cited source. A second AI model from another company (Claude Opus 5.5) reviewed the paragraph against the same sources. The 3GPP documents themselves govern.
