With ever increased mobility in our dynamic society, the need for a low power portable handset and cost-effective access to a wide array of telecommunication network services has been recognized. A successfully deployed personal communication services (PCS) network will not only provide access to today's wire-line network services but also manage customer mobility seamlessly and transparently. In order to test this hypothesis and assess the capabilities of the state-of-the-art network technologies, a PCS technology trial network was established during the first half of 1993. The paper discusses the planning required and insights gained during the design, integration testing, establishing provisioning and fault isolation procedures phases of this multifaceted project.<>

The cellular packet switch (CPS) is a distributed packet switch proposed for third generation wireless information networks. The infrastructure consists of an IEEE 802.6 Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) linking base stations, databases, public switches and a cellular controller. Connectivity between MANs is via gateways. The paper addresses issues associated with movement between MANs. Inter-MAN handovers which do not involve the public switched network appear seamless. However, multiple inter-MAN handovers may produce an inefficient information flow among the MANs. The paper discusses the role of gateways in inter-MAN handovers, and path optimization procedures that generate more efficient paths. The path optimization procedures are evaluated based on the following performance criteria: guarantee of sequential delivery, avoidance of multiple copies and delay.<>

The paper describes concepts and techniques that will be applied to the development of an adaptive network planner (ANP). The ANP will be used to support voice, data and video subscribers of the localized access area (LAA) network of the army's future battlefield information system (BIS) 2015 architectural concept. LAA includes LAN technologies, PCS technologies, tactical gateways and radio access points. The paper first presents a description of the technical and operational environment that the ANP will function in, and then continues with detailed technical concepts and techniques that might be used in a prototype implementation. The ANP is currently in the very beginning of the exploratory development stage (6.2) of the military development cycle, and will be developed in an evolutionary manner and both technology and requirements evolve.<>

The goal of the paper is to discuss which mobility services need to be offered to FPLMTS/UMTS users. In fact, personal mobility needs depend on user types and mobility patterns. To define mobility services for FPLMTS/UMTS users, two approaches are possible: the first one is the personal communicator, a small terminal combining a multitude of applications and services that allows you to make and receive calls everywhere; the second one concerns the Universal Personal Telecommunication service which enables users to access telecommunication services on the basis of a unique personal network transparent UPT number across multiple networks at any terminal. These two approaches are discussed from the user point of view.<>

As PCS evolves in the US, issues relative to the privacy of the user's voice and data and the authentication or validation of the user to the service provider are being addressed. The two principle alternatives being reviewed for US privacy and authentication are the methodologies defined as part of the global system for mobile (GSM) communications and the EIA/TIA interim standard IS-54-B for cellular system dual-mode mobile station-base station compatibility. The paper looks at the key aspects and issues of each alternative and the resulting interworking challenge.<>

As the Bellcore client companies plan for PCS access services, the plans rely heavily on the use of common channel signaling (CCS) networks. In the paper the authors describe how CCS may support potential PCS access services and the impacts these services may have on CCS. In addition to providing a very brief overview of the evolving PCS access services, they explain the resulting new functionality expected of CCS networks, and describe the impact of the new functionality on CCS.<>

The paper describes an architecture that provides wireless data users with the ability to communicate with the wireline data service. This architecture uses a stand-alone interworking function (IWF) that connects to radio port control units (RPCUs) through an intermediate network and connects to the remote service via a remote network. The paper focuses on the architecture that uses X.25 as the intermediate network and PSTN as the remote network to provide voiceband modem services. This solution is similar to an existing serving arrangement which allows ISDN users to interwork with voiceband modems. Call origination, call delivery and automatic link transfer (ALT) for wireless data calls are discussed. Other communication channels between the RPCU and IWF (in lieu of the X.25 connection proposed in the present paper) are possible and many concepts will extend to such alternate architectures.<>

Personal communications service (PCS) is a term which has different meanings to different telecommunications service providers. Hence, several views of PCS have arisen as the industry begins to launch initial service offerings. The paper overviews typical interconnections between three commonly discussed PCS architectures and a typical local exchange carrier (LEC) network. Interconnection is discussed between a typical LEC and these three PCS architectures: 1. Personal communications network-this architecture is being used by some cellular system operators and is being considered by start-up PCS companies who are planning new telecommunications infrastructure for PCS. 2. Cable systems-this architecture is typical of the planned deployment of PCS in some cable systems. 3. Bellcore proposed arrangement-this architecture has been proposed by Bellcore as a modularized approach to network elements which could be interconnected with a typical Regional Bell Operating Company. In order to appreciate the commonality of interconnection between PCS and a typical LEC, a review of the commonality of the industry (as a whole) and consumer perspective of PCS is given.<>

In April 1993, after an extensive beta vial with internal users, NYNEX-New England launched a cordless Charge-A-Call service, a market trial of a wireless, outgoing-only, public telephone service. The trial uses Motorola Silverlink 2000 CT2 equipment operating at 1921-1929 MHz under NYNEX Science and Technology's FCC experimental license. A large number of public calling area (PCA) base stations have been deployed in downtown Boston to interface with the public switched telephone network. Trial participants can make calling card and other non-sent-paid telephone calls in the PCAs utilizing small portable personal handsets. PCAs include all major street intersections in the trial area and certain other locations such as North Station and South Station, the Delta and US Air Shuttle terminals at Logan Airport and seven floors of the Jordan Marsh department store. The paper describes the market trial, the network management and geographic information system (GIS) tools developed to support the trial and the procedures and techniques used to ensure a high quality level of service over the trial area. The systems and tools developed are sufficiently generic to be readily applicable to other network-based personal communications service offerings.<>
