Now in Very Detailed Picture

Now the next step is to describe each of the steps in as much detail as possible.
The more in detail you can describe, the easier the development, testing,
troubleshooting will be. There are many steps I couldn't describe here because the
most of steps not described here would be related to company confidentials (Of
course, you can say "Every details are in 3GPP specification". Yes, that's true,
but 3GPP says only about "What to do", it doesn't say much about "How to do". In
real implementation, this "How to do" part is as important as "What to do") You can
take this as a minimum of possible-detailed description. Going through this table,
think about how much additional comments you think you can put in 'Memo' column.
