Subject: Quick Cellular TIA Spec Summary
From: aurs01!aurxcf!boop@concert.net (Greg Boop)

Thank you for your responses to my cellular standards inquiry. I have
received a number of responses indicating which EIA/TIA documents to
take a look at. I am now getting my hands on a number of these
documents including:
EIA/TIA IS-19-B Recommended Min Standards for 800MHZ Cellular Subscriber Units.
EIA/TIA IS-20-A Recommended Min Standards for 800MHZ Cellular Land Stations.
EIA/TIA IS-41-B Cellular Radiocommunications Intersystem Operations - 5 Volumes
EIA/TIA IS-52 Uniform Dialing Procedures ... in Cellular Radio Telecom.
EIA/TIA IS-53 Cellular Features Description.
EIA/TIA IS-54-B Cellular Dual-Mode Mobile/Base Station Compatibility Standard.
EIA/TIA IS-55 Recommended Min Performance Standards for Dual-Mode Mobile Stat
EIA/TIA IS-56 Recommended Min Performance Standards for Dual-Mode Base Stat.
EIA/TIA IS-85 Cellular Standards for Full-Rate Speech Codes.
EIA/TIA IS-553 Cellular System Mobile Station-Land Station Compatibility Std.
EIA/TIA IS 88/89/90 NAMPS Standards.
The IS-553 spec and the IS-41 set covers the AMPS (Advanced Mobile
Phone Service) standard. The IS54-IS56 documents cover the operation
of dual-mode analog AMPS and Digital (TDMA) cellular phones. The
IS88-IS90 specifications cover NAMPS (Narrow Band AMPS).
The standards (as always) are a very good place to start. However I
still hope to find some books or papers that provide a technical
in-depth look at the processing of cellular calls and any references
to cellular network management. I already have a number of references
to RF related material (site planning etc.), but my focus is not on
this type of information (even though it brought back fond memories of
Smith Charts). Customer documentation (Command Summary Manuals)
regarding the user interfaces to Cellular Switches sold by major
manufacturers will probably help me out. Any references to books,
articles, or manuals will be greatly appreciated.
I am trying to obtain a broader view of the technical side of the
cellular US market. I already have a strong background in mobile
communications. My former employer, Spectrum Communications and
Electronics (now Spectrum Ericsson), manufactured paging terminals.
In the past, I have also have been involved in field trials of CT2
technology (borrowed from England) up in Rochester, New York. My role
involved writing and evaluating PCS Network Management Software.
A small fraction of my recent activity has involved evaluating and
providing input on the GSM speech coding used in Europe. As the
wireless trend in telecommunications continues to explode, I want to
be properly informed in order to correctly represent the American
viewpoint on any cellular issues (even though the US and EC cellular
standards are quite different) within my firm.
Thank you and best regards,
