Application of IS-136 to personal communication services

The new North American TDMA PCS wireless compatibility standard, J-STD-011, is designed to provide optimized multi-user service performance in high capacity deployment scenarios. The specification is IS-136 based, but is fully digital and combines a host of new features beyond the original standard, these being developed to support the explosive growth in wireless communications, and the increasing demand of the subscriber for instantaneous, ubiquitous access to the network. This paper provides a brief overview of J-STD-011.
