New Revisions to TDMA Third Generation Wireless Standards

Stakeholders Invited to Contact TIA Regarding Participation.

Arlington VA. (April 18, 2013) – The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TR-45.3 Engineering Committee on Time Division Digital Technology - Mobile and Personal Communications Standards has issued a call for interest for the development of the Revision I to the TIA/EIA-136 series of standards addressing 3G wireless for TDMA technology.  This latest revision in the series incorporates support for 3GPP GERAN Release 9 and also support for Overload class 12 as addressed in TSB-16-B, Assignment of Access Overload Classes in the Cellular Telecommunications Services. 

The TIA/EIA-136 parts included in this revision are:

TIA/EIA-136-000-I initially titled "TDMA Third Generation Wireless List of Parts’

TIA/EIA-136-123-I initially titled "TDMA Third Generation Wireless Digital Control Channel Layer 3"

TIA/EIA-136-140-C initially titled “TDMA Third Generation Wireless - Analog Control Channel”

TIA/EIA-136-150-C initially titled “TDMA Third Generation Wireless - Analog Voice Channel”

TIA/EIA-136-370-E initially titled "TDMA Third Generation Wireless Enhanced General Packet-Data Service (EGPRS-136)"

TIA/EIA-136-376-E initially titled "TDMA Third Generation Wireless Enhanced General Packet-Data Service (EGPRS-136) Mobility Management (MM)"

TIA/EIA-136-377-E initially titled "TDMA Third Generation Wireless EGPRS-136 Gs Interface Specifications"

TIA/EIA-136-440-E initially titled "TDMA Third Generation Wireless Adaptive Multi Rate (AMR) Codec"

The stakeholders may include, but are not limited to: carriers, equipment providers.

TIA is actively seeking participation in these projects from the user and general interest communities.

To inquire about participating in TIA standards developing efforts, please contact the TIA Technology & Standards Department at 703-907-7000 or via e-mail at standards@tiaonline.org.

A major function of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is the writing and maintenance of voluntary industry standards and specifications. These activities are carried out by the volunteer members of TIA engineering committees. On the public engineering committee pages, users will find recent meeting reports, agendas and notices for upcoming meetings, as well as links to some of the most popular standards from each committee.
