1st Generation Mobile Telecommunications Systems These systems are analogue and were designed for voice transfer only. AMPS, NMT, TACS, etc. are included among first generation systems. With the development of PDC/PHS in Japan, post-analogue technology has advanced rapidly so that only few analogue systems remain in existence. A spectrum migration technology for existing IS95 bands and systems 2.5nd Generation Mobile Telecommunications Systems General term for 2.5nd cellular networks generation that are based on 2G system cellular networks using digital technology. 2nd Generation Mobile Telecommunications These digital systems are capable of providing voice/data/fax transfer as well as a range of other value-added services. At present, second generation systems are still evolving with increasing data rates via new technologies such as HSCSD and GPRS. Second generation systems include GSM, US-TDMA (IS-136), cdmaOne (IS-95) and PDC. Third Generation Mobile Telecommunications Third generations systems are designed for multimedia applications and are currently in the process of being standardized under 3GPP. Among the three types of system to be standardized (i.e. WCDMA-DS, MC-CDMA, UTRA TDD), Japan and Europe will adopt WCDMA-DS in a strategy to take the lead through superior service. 3G systems are scheduled for operational start-up in Japan and Europe in 2002-2003. A forum of operators and vendors who share a common third generation network architecture strategy: the definition of a third generation network architecture based on packet technologies and IP telephony for simultaneous real and non-real time services. 3rd Generation Partnership Project (in charge of UMTS) 3GPP is an association of manufacturing companies, organizations and interested observers, who play a leading role in the development of technical specifications and organizational realization of future UMTS mobile phone networks.

The introduction of the ADC allowed higher capacities and the introduction of new services. The ADC allows the use of analogue and digital handsets. Application Dedicated File Abbreviated Dialing Numbers Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line Allows the transmission of data at high speed over conventional telephone lines (copper wire) using an asymmetric transmission method. Therefore, ADSL is particularly well suited to Internet access where the subscriber retrieves high volumes of data from the net, but sends comparatively little data back. The provisions for private customers currently range from between 1.5 megabit/second downstream and 256-kilobit/second upstream. For a higher fee, business customers can use up to 6 megabit/second downlink and 768-kilobit/second uplink. Nevertheless, ADSL is only suitable for supplying urban areas, because the exchange and subscriber should be within 2 miles of each other. The maximum achievable speed decreases with increasing line length.

Address Resolution Protocol Average Rate Per User Average revenue per subscriber in a given time period. Automatic Repeat Request The ARQ describes a procedure to guarantee the failure free data transmission between transmitter and receiver. If the receiver does not recognise the received date he requests the re-sending of the data from the transmitter. Access Slot Access Stratum Access Service Class Application Service Element Access Signalling Gateway Application Specific Integrated Circuit Access Stack Node Abstract Syntax Notation One Application Service Provider Common abbreviation in the industry for a company that provides its customers with Internet applications.. Automatic Schedule Testing A data transmission is described as asymmetric if the data from the network (provider, exchange) is transported at a higher speed to the subscriber than in the opposite direction. Asymmetric transmission methods are more efficient for retrieving data from the Internet or for applications such as streaming video (streaming media), because, in these cases, considerably more data flows from the network than in the opposite direction. ATtention Command Asynchronous Transfer Mode Packet-oriented transmission and switching technology for high-speed transport (up to 6.22 megabytes per second) and switching of various types of data, voice and signals. In ATM, data is broken down into packets with a length of 48 bytes, and sent with a 5-byte address space (so the size of an ATM cell is 53 bytes). Every data packet is independent and can be transported to the receiver on a different route. This is why the method is called 'asynchronous'. The receiver reassembles the received data into the correct order. ATM transfers this cell to the network only when data to be transmitted actually exists. Provides a SONET OC-3 interface to allow direct connection on to the Control Node; those modules are provisioned in pair to provide redundancy and connection protection ATM Virtual Circuit ATM Switching Module Answer To Reset Administrative Unit Authentication Center A property by which the correct identity of an entity or party is established with a required assurance.

Business-to-business Bipolar 8 Zero Substitution Coding Technical term for the capacity of a transmission channel. Because capacity, or even maximum speed, is generally dependent on the frequency range available, the 'bandwidth' (i.e., the width of a frequency band) usually has the same meaning as the maximum transmission speed available to a subscriber.

digitizing data, CDMA spreads it out over the entire bandwidth it has available. Multiple calls are overlaid over each other on the channel, with each assigned a unique sequence code. The narrowband voice signal is spread over the wideband carrier using the pseudo noise code, which spreads the energy of the transmitted signal over the carrier spectrum. The receiver then uses the same code to decode the transmitted wideband signal and recover the narrowband signal. Code Division Multiple Access 2000 CDMA2000 is the upgraded CDMAone standard and therefore an IS-95 evolution. Upgrading to CDMA2000 can be done in two stages: CDMA2000 MC1X packet-switched data signals with a bandwidth of 1.25MHz. the second set-up stage, CDMA2000 MC3X, three 1.25MHz carriers combined, thus achieving full UMTS data rates. CDMA2000 transmission is downwards compatible with cdmaOne. Code Division Multiple Access one CDMAone (also known as IS-95) is a digital mobile phone standard based on the CDMA, which is used in North America, Korea and Japan. CDMAone uses frequency ranges around 800MHz and 1900MHz. For to third generation mobile telephony, CDMAone networks be upgraded to the CDMA2000 broadband standard. CDMA Wideband See W-CDMA Cellular Digital Packet Data 2G wireless data standard that allows speeds up to speeds up to 19.2 kbps. Call Detail Record A formatted collection of information about a chargeable event (e.g. time of call set-up, duration of the call, amount of data transferred, etc) for use in billing and accounting. For each party to be charged for parts of or all charges of a chargeable event a separate CDR shall be generated, i.e more than one CDR may be generated for a single chargeable event, e.g. because of its long duration, or because more than one charged party is to be charged. Customer Data Record Connection Endpoint Mobile phone networks are made up of a cellular structure - hence the expression 'cellular phone'. In the middle of each cell there is a radio tower or a radio aerial, which is controlled by a BTS in 2G systems or Node B in 3G systems. The advantage of the cellular construction is geographically separated frequencies may be reused many, and thus more effectively. UMTS networks will be constructed in a cellular fashion, in the planning of the radio network, the effect of cellular for UMTS should be observed.

The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses natural and human-made sources of EMF. Human-made sources of EMF (electricity, microwaves and radio frequency (RF) fields) are found at the relatively long wavelength and low frequency end of the electromagnetic spectrum and their quanta are unable to break chemical bonds. Sunlight itself is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and acts as the divide between non-ionizing energy and ionizing energy. Electromagnetic Interferences Enhanced Multi-Level Precedence and Pre-emption Electromagnetic Radiation EMR is a form of energy between 10 KHz-300 GHz in the electromagnetic spectrum. It can be illustrated as a stream of mass-less particles, each traveling in a wave-like pattern at the speed of light. These waves can be described with their frequency and their wavelength: the frequency simply expresses the number of oscillations or cycles per second, while wavelength describes the distance between one wave and the next. Hence wavelength and frequency are inseparably intertwined - the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength.Wavelength and frequency determine another important characteristic of EMR: electromagnetic waves are carried by particles called quanta. Quanta of higher frequency and shorter wavelength carry more energy than lower frequency and longer wavelength fields. Sometimes EMR carries so much energy per quantum that it can cause molecular change.

In contrast to line-switched connections, subscribers connected with packet-switched connections, do not have an exclusive transmission channel available. Data is divided and transmitted independently of each other in packets of set size. Its special feature is that communication between terminals with differing speeds and formats is possible since transmission/reception is performed after data has first been stored at the exchange. Additionally, the available bandwidth (capacity) can be distributed considerably better between several subscribers. Packet Assembler/Disassembler (X.25).

Switch-connected type telecommunications circuitry provided by communication service operators. In a narrow sense, it implies a subscriber telephone network. In a broader sense, it is a concept, which includes data communication as typified by the packet-switched network (also referred to as PSDN). ISDN is sometimes included within this definition. By connecting a computer or other type of terminal, a user can communicate with multiple parties. PSTN services are broadly categorized into four types, i.e. telephony, telegraphy, packet-switched (data type) and circuit-switched (for data use).

The international equivalent of SONET is SDH. Together, they ensure standards so that digital networks can interconnect internationally and that existing conventional transmission systems can take advantage of optical media through tributary attachments. SONET provides standards for a number of line rates up to the maximum line rate of 9.953 gigabits per second (Gbps). Actual line rates approaching 20 gigabits per second are possible. SONET is considered to be the foundation for the physical layer of the broadband ISDN (Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network). SONET defines a base rate of 51.84 Mbps and a set of multiples of the base rate known as OCx. ATM runs as a layer on top of SONET as well as on top of other technologies.

Signaling information is in the form of digital packet. SS7 uses out-of-band signaling: Signaling (control) information travels on a separate 56 or 64 Kbps channel rather than within the same channel as the telephone call. Historically, the signaling for a telephone call has used the same voice circuit that the telephone call traveled on (this is known as in-band signaling). Using SS7, telephone calls can be set up more efficiently and with greater security. Special services such as call forwarding and wireless roaming service are easier to add and manage. SS7 is now an international telecommunications standard. SS7 is used for these and other services: (1) Setting up and managing connections for a call (2) Tearing down connections (3) Billing (4) Intelligent Network Services (Managing call forwarding, calling party name and number display, three-way calling, etc.) (5) Toll-free (800 and 888) and toll (900) calls (6) Wireless and Wireline call service including mobile telephone subscriber authentication, personal communication (7) Service (PCS), and roaming
