Abstract

A novel concept for personal communication that achieves the ultimate objectives of communications services, to enable anyone to communicate instantly with anyone anywhere, is proposed. This concept offers a personal service network with subscriber access systems for both wired and radio terminals. Its three principal concepts are: (1) assigning a personal identity such as a personal telecommunication number for individual, with the network tracking the person´s routing, (2) serving ultra-small portable units for radio link access, and (3) servicing advanced functions such as the network playing the role of secretary. An advanced personal communication system in which such functions as location registration and tracking exchange are handled by public communications networks is proposed. Cost-effective and rapid service development can be realizing by using such public communication network facilities as transport systems. The proposed system enables each person to afford a portable telephone set because of large cost reductions and increased capacity, The system architecture and technical problems are also presented
