Abstract

There are several standards for cellular systems that are in use around the world. In the United States, the most prolific is that described in EIA/TIA 553 or as it is more commonly known AMPS. In designing an in-building microcellular PCS, using an existing cellular system standard provides some advantages. Since the two kinds of systems have different requirements, it is not possible to use a cellular system standard for an in-building microcellular PCS design without some changes. In the United States, this has been done by taking the EIA/TIA-553 standard and adapting it for in-building microcellular PCS. The development and the main points of this new standard for a cellular auxiliary personal communications service (CAPCS) are described in this paper. Also, some preliminary results of a field trial of an in-building microcellular PCS based on the CAPCS standard are presented
