ARLINGTON, Va.-The Telecommunications Industry Association published a new interim standard, “Cellular Radiotelecommunications Intersystem Operations-Over-the-Air-Service Provisioning and Parameter Administration.”
The document presents Stage-1 recommendations for OTASP subscriber and OTAPA network feature descriptions. It also provides intersystem operation recommendations for supporting OTASP and OTAPA capability for Code Division Multiple Access and Time Division Multiple Access air interfaces, with Stage-2 operations and scenarios, Stage-3 operations and parameter definitions, plus Stage-3 procedures.
The OTASP feature is intended to enable and expedite, in a secure manner, the process by which potential wireless service subscribers can activate new wireless service; or current subscribers can request changes in their existing services, without the intervention of a third party of parties, said TIA.
