Land mobile communications satellite missions (LAMOCOSAMIS) task 3: Terrestrial system concept
Abstract
Basic concepts for the definition of a pan-European terrestrial cellular radio system are reviewed: AMPS/TACS; C-450; MATS-E; NAMTS; and NMT. All the systems considered have good technical merit, TACS, C-450, and MATS-E have definite advantages over the other two systems. Although C-450 and MATS-E have very attractive features, the TACS system in particular exhibits improved resistance to cochannel interference, and very reliable signalling in the presence of data errors.
