I am forwarding a request for cellular info made by someone on the BBS I operate ... e-mail responses would be appreciated. Perhaps someone out there in the know might want to whip up a reference file on cellular tech details and that, suitable for TD Archives. Msg# : 286 Tue 6 Nov 90 11:08p From : Alan Wilcocks-Gynn To : All Subject: Cellular Control Channel Format Status : Can anyone tell me how I can get access to the following information: -Physical data format for cellular control channels. -Control channel protocol. -Differences (if any) between Cantel and Bell Cellular control formats. Thanks. --- Maximus-CBCS v1.02 * Origin: (89:480/126)

In the USA, standards for cellular system operation are developed by TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) technical committee TR-41 and its subcommittees. Some of these standards (with TIA prices) are: EIA/TIA-553 "Mobile Station-Land Station Compatibility Standard" $27 EIA/TIA-IS-19-B "Recommended Minimum Standards for 800-MHz Cellular Subscriber Units" $24 EIA/TIA-IS-20-A "Recommended Minimum Standards for 800-MHz Cellular Land Stations" $20 EIA/TIA-IS-41 "Cellular Radiotelecommunications Intersystem Operations" (five parts: IS-41.1 "Functional Overview", $11; IS-41.2 "Intersystem Handoff", $14; IS-41.3 "Automatic Roaming", $11; IS-41.4 "Operations, Administration, and Maintenance", $14; IS-41.5 "Data Communication", $39) EIA/TIA-IS-52 "Uniform Dialing Procedures and Call Processing Treatment for Use in Cellular Radio Telecommunications" $18 EIA/TIA-IS-54 "Dual Mode Mobile Station-Base Station Compatibility Standard" (not sure of price) TIA-TSB-16 "Assignment of Access Overload Classes in the Cellular Telecommunications Services" $11 TIA-TSB-17 "Uniform Dialing Procedures in the Cellular Telecommunications Services" $11 TIA-TSB-21 "Uniform Cellular Feature Code and Service Code Dialing Plan" $11 One or more of these documents would contain the answers to your questions. These documents can be ordered from: EIA Engineering Department, Standards Sales, 2001 Eye Street NW, Washington DC 20006; (202) 457-4966. They accept checks, Visa, or MasterCard.
