7, 1992, EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ TR-45.3/92.02.07.05 is a memo from CTIA informing the wireless industry of the CTIA’s upcoming technology fora. The fora will examine wideband/spread-spectrum options for cellular. The first forum will be held 17 and 18 March 92 in Chicago, IL. TR-45.3/92.02.07.07 notifies that a Joint Experts Meeting on Transmission Planning will be held 09 to 12 March 1992 in Richardson, TX. At its next meeting, TR-45.3 expects to receive a final draft of the CTIA’s User Performance Requirements for a Digital Control Channel. TR-45.3.A AD HOC AUTHENTICATION GROUP IS-54-B A PPENDIX A TR-45.3.A completed IS-54-B Appendix A, Authentication, Message Encryption, Voice Privacy Mask Generation, Shared Secret Data Generation, A-Key Verification, and Test Data (TR-45.3.A/92.02.04.02 as amended). TIA will control distribution of the appendix as required by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Having fulfilled its charter, TR-45.3.A was dissolved. A new group may be set up under TR-45 to deal with authentication for EIA/TIA-553, the analog compatibility standard. TR-45.3.1 — USER NEEDS AND SERVICES TR-45.3.1 develops the Cellular Mobile Telephone Service Descriptions (CMTSD) — high-level descriptions used by other working groups to guide standards development. TR-45.3.1 prepared a new mandate and presented it to TR-45.3 as TR-45.3/92.02.07.02. “TR-45.3.1’s objective is to agree with the CTIA on detailed descriptions of all services and features to be supported in North American Digital Cellular Standards and to provide the detailed descriptions to the other groups within TR-45. The descriptions will be of the form of bearer services, teleservices, teleservices facilities, and supplementary services wherever appropriate.” TR-45.3 had some problems with the proposal, e.g., expanding the working group’s scope to encompass all of TR-45 and having the working group act as a liaison with CTIA. It therefore deferred the contribution until its next meeting. TR-45.3.2 — DUAL-MODE STANDARDS IS-54-B D UAL-MODE MS-BS COMPATIBILITY (PN-2759) At its last meeting, TR-45.3 approved IS-54-B for publication; however at this meeting, TR-45.3.2 identified some editorial problems. As a result, the editor will make the following corrections before sending the document to TIA. TR-45.3.2/92.02.06.02, Concerns found with revision B of IS-54 (Ericsson), identifies five corrections to IS-54-B. TR-45.3.2 adopted four. Correction 1 — §2.6.5.2 Confirm Initial Traffic Channel Add a timeout to prevent the mobile station from locking up on a digital traffic channel: If the mobile station does not receive
