Predictor

Tool within the WiSE Expert Design System that uses site information as input to determine the optimal placement of the antennas within the DWBS.

R

Radio Controller (RC)

Circuit pack that provides the interface between the DEFINITY system and the radio subsystem. It controls one or more Wireless Fixed Bases.

Radio Propagation Measurement Tool (RPMT)

Tool within the WiSE Expert Design System that is used to provide basic radio measurements. The RPMT looks like a pocket phone and, once it is administered, it can also initiate and receive phone calls. The RPMT can supplement the Predictor, serve as a troubleshooting device, and be used at site surveys.

S

soft keys

Buttons whose labels appear on an associated display and whose labels and functions can change dynamically as the user performs functions and makes selections.

T

TDMA. See Time Division Multiple Access

Terminal Portable User Identifier (TPUI)

Number returned by the fixed part to the pocket phone during the Location Registration procedure.

Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)

Radio access method for which each call uses a different time slot. TDMA permits multiple conversations per radio.

TPUI. See Terminal Portable User Identifier

U

UTAM

Group charged by the Federal Communications Commission to coordinate the relocation of microwave incumbents out of the unlicensed spectrum (1910 to 1930 MHz) and to coordinate the deployment of unlicensed devices and systems in that spectrum.
