Dear Mr. Altman:
I am pleased to inform you that p_A Interim standard is-95. which
is based upon QnAT.mMM's design, has been piittlisfted and is
available now from our publisher, Global fflyjm_^ri™_ nommpnts at
a price of USS250. Phone 1 800 854 71/9 to order in the U.S. and
Canada. Overseas customers may call +1 303 397 7956 or fax +1 303
397 7935 to order.
The standard, named "Mobile Station-Base Station Compatibility
Standard for Dual-Mode Wideband Spread Spectrum Cellular System"
provides the Common Air Interface specifications for CDMA digital
cellular radio. This 660-page document will be followed by four
additional standards to be produced by our TR-45.5 formulating
committee, as follows:
IS-96 Speech Service Option Estimated 3rd quarter 1993
IS-97 Recommended Minimum Performance
Standards/Mobile station 1Q94
IS-98 Recommended Minimum Performance
Standards/Base Station 1Q94
IS-99 Data Service Option 2Q94
While we have a high degree of confidence in these estimated dates,
they remain only estimates.
IS-95 covers all aspects of the physical layer d*sign of the system
as well as the signaling protocol. IS-97 and IS-98 are a series of
recommendations for manufacturers to consider in optimizing the
performance of their mobile stations and base stations. IS-96 and
IS-99 provide for a wide range of voice and data service options,
since more than one such service can be supported by IS-95.
Sincerely,
Peter H. Bennett
