In plain words
In V20.0.0, TS 33.216 contains "objectives, requirements and test cases that are specific to the eNB network product class". It adapts requirements and test cases from the Catalogue of General Security Assurance Requirements, and specifies eNB network product class requirements and test cases unique to that class. Its introduction says eNodeB specific security requirements derive from eNodeB-specific security functional requirements and threats specific to eNB, as described in TR 33.926. Generic security requirements and test cases common to other network product classes are captured in TS 33.117 and are not repeated here.

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.
