Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) Revises cdma2000® Spectrum Assignment Standards

Update Enhances Standards Administration

Washington, D.C. - The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) has published Telecommunications Systems Bulletin TSB-58-H: Administration of Parameter Value Assignment of cdma2000® Spread Spectrum Standards, which replaces Bulletin TSB-58-G. As the new authorized registry for cdma2000® standards, Bulletin TSB-58-H enhances the scope and effectiveness of spectrum standards administration.

As new voice and non-voice-related services are defined, new parameter values must be assigned, which may cause confusion. To safeguard accuracy and streamline administration of standards for new services, Bulletin TSB-58-H assigns values to the numerical parameters (e.g., service options and Data Burst Message burst types) that have been reserved by the 3GPP2 Technical Specification Group C's master registry, which deals with CDMA wireless services.

Bulletin TSB-58-H was formulated under the cognizance of the TIA TR-45: Mobile and Personal Communications Systems Engineering Committee's TR-45.5: Spread Spectrum Digital Technology Subcommittee. To obtain copies of the document, contact IHS International Inc. at (800) 854-7179 or visit http://global.ihs.com.
