Implementation of PCNs using DCS 1800

The digital cellular system (1800 MHz) (DCS 1800), a standard for personal communication networks (PCNs) that has been developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institution (ETSI), is discussed. The GSM 900-MHz cellular standard, from which DCS 1800 is derived, is reviewed. GSM/DCS 1800 network interfaces and signaling, implementation of PCNs using DCS 1800, PCN cellular design, PCN transmission networks, and the services and functionality of DCS 1800 are described.>
