ABSTRACT: The Personal Communications Service (PCS) Access Services are intended to allow PCS Service Providers (PSPs) to choose the level of functionality they purchase from a Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) or other service provider. Depending on the equipment and functionality that the PSP has in its network, a PCS Access Service can provide PSPs with the complementary functionality they need to provide PCS to their end users.

The end user pays the PSP for the service provided, while the PSP buys the PCS Access Service from the LEC or other service provider.

This Generic Requirements (GR) interface document provides the view of Telcordia on a detailed description of the Personal Communications Service Access Services provided by a typical LEC, or other service provider, which are expected to be made available in the near-term. These access services include the PCS Routing Service, the PCS Home Database Service, and the PCS Interim Standard-41 (IS-41) Message Transport Service.

This document describes the typical Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) to PCS Service Provider (PSP) interfaces that must be in place in order to provide these PCS Access Services, including specification of the messages and parameters that go over these interfaces.

GR-1411 replaced TA-TSV-001411.

This GR also includes one or more Issue List Reports (ILRs) that details open or closed technical issues in the main document. The ILR(s) are automatically sent free of charge to the GR document purchaser.
