ATIS T1.TR.19-1993

This Technical Report provides transmission performance guidelines for digital systems using wireless terminals that can be used to access the Public Switched Telecommunications Network (PSTN). The goal of these guidelines is to achieve end-to-end quality similar in a broad sense to that achieved within the PSTN, although perhaps qualitatively different due to technology differences. In this report it is assumed that the PSTN transmission and switching is all-digital, end office-to-end office, with analog or digital access. The guidelines provided can also be applied to any wireless system used for access to the PSTN, but the focus of this report is on digital systems that involve the use of terminals whose output is to a digital radio channel.
