| schestowitz | An additional point here is that the standard as it was developed on paper and the technology as it is implemented in practice can differ quite a bit. The way standardisation is seen by (some) lawyers is often as if a standard is a law that has to be applied in full and to the letter. In practice when standards are set, particularly in entities such as 3GPP, is that first all the features anyone could think of for the system are | Nov 23 07:43 |
| schestowitz | written down. The most popular ones get a lot of the attention and become the core of the standard. A lot of other stuff is included as options, version numbers etc. Only then do programmers start working on the new systems. They get their priorities based on what customers actually buy and prioritise. The reality is that, certainly in a mobile network, much of that wall of paper that is the Release X standard hasn't been | Nov 23 07:43 |
| schestowitz | implemented (in full). Plugfests and similar events then help to flesh out where different teams interpreted the standard differently, until the various versions (kind of) work together. This is fixed in addendums, release notes etc.. And sometimes some major vendors refuse to do implement option X even though it is in the standard and therefore nobody implements it in client gear and as a result nobody activates it in their | Nov 23 07:43 |
| schestowitz | networks, even though the equipment they bought could support it. | Nov 23 07:43 |
| schestowitz | So the standard as written isn't the same as the standard as implemented. The same goes to some extent for IEEE, IETF and other standards, though the IETF requires running code before something is a standard, which helps flesh out some issues before hand and leads to more consistent implementation. (More consistent, but certainly not exactly the same) | Nov 23 07:43 |
| schestowitz | A nice example is VoLTE (Voice over LTE) where the implementations can be so different that many mobile operators don't allow all devices to talk VoLTE to their platform, they will only allow some "certified" devices to do it. Samsung and Apple are most widely accepted. But I can't even get VoLTE activated with my Google Pixel phone on KPN. | Nov 23 07:43 |
| schestowitz | So not only are patents not always essential to the patent as written, the ones that are may not be essential to the standard as implemented. | Nov 23 07:43 |
