Abstract :
The Personal Access Communications System (PACS) is one of the ANSI air interface standards developed for the 1.9 GHz PACS band in the U.S. It is a low-tier standard that has been optimized for both indoor wireless access and low mobility pedestrian outdoor usage. The Global System for Mobile Telecommunications (GSM) system is widely deployed in Europe and Asia and is being considered for many other regions around the world. A natural evolution path for PCS would be one that combined the advantages of the PACS with readily available GSM networking capabilities. This paper addresses solutions to interfacing a PACS radio system to a GSM or GSM derivative (PCS1900 or DCS 1800) network at the GSM A-interface
