In this work, the state of the art and future vision of wireless communications is presented in the form of a number of new services. Wireless presonal communications is clearly a different service than today's cellular radio or cordless telephone, but there is an evolutionary connection between the three services. "Wireless Personal Communications" addresses questions about what features of personal communication services (PCS) will be met by existing or enhanced digital cellular radio technology. The regulatory and standards aspects of wireless communications are currently in a crucial stage of their formulation. A section of the book is devoted to the opinions of representatives from regulatory agencies and standards organizations on the future of this critical area. Designed to serve as a reference source, the book may also be used as a textbook for advanced courses on wireless communications, cellular radio, or digital mobile radio.
