ABSTRACT: This document describes the view of Telcordia on switching and signaling generic requirements to support 1.8 GHz Personal Communications Services (PCS's) providers. It is one in a series of Telcordia documents which define PCS Access Services that may be offered to PCS Service Providers (PSPs) by a Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) or other service provider. The PCS Access Services described here are at the PCS Access-Service for Controllers (PASCs) and indirectly the PCS Access Service for Radio Ports (PASPs). The Switch capabilities described in this document are based on the PCS architecture described in SR-TSV-002459, Personal Communications Services (PCS's) Network Access Services to PCS Providers (canceled).

The requirements in this GR cover the following network platforms and their associated interactions: Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN); Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN); and Signaling System No.7 (SS7). To present a complete view of the necessary AIN, ISDN, and SS7 switch functionality to support PASC and PASP, this document: (1) identifies the appropriate existing requirements from other AIN, ISDN, and SS7 documents, when applicable, and (2) provides new requirements directly in this document. In either case, all AIN and ISDN capabilities identified in this document (new or existing) are represented as parts of AIN 0.1 or 0.2 and National ISDN 1, 2, or 3.

Revision 1 contains changes to the view of Telcordia on generic requirements to support Network Access Services for Personal Communications Services (PCS's) Providers.

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.
