The utility of compound wireless services

Summary form only given. This talk will provide examples within a data services class that have the potential of substantial capital returns. This class of data services is termed compound wireless (mobile communication) services or CWS's. Compound wireless services are beyond 3G and are not now available. Nor are they planned for 3G wireless systems. However, they represent a natural extension beyond 3G and provide an incentive for users/subscribers to desire 3G data services. It is believed that compound wireless services make the wireless telecommunications terminal an indispensable data tool and subjugate voice communications to a secondary service. That is, the CWS class contains many "killer" application services. A compound wireless service is a service consisting of linked component services. When invoked, a CWS causes the component services to be executed in a sequence prescribed by the CWS. The following CWS example is intended to assist in defining this class of services. Consider having a severe time constraint for driving a vehicle between two geographic points. This may apply to commuting between one's home and a place of employment, or for a limousine driver to arrive at an airport in time for a passenger's flight, or for a chartered bus to reach its tour destination in a timely manner, etc. The main three component services employed to achieve this need are presented. The user/subscriber programmed wireless service consists of continual iterations of these three services until the destination is reached. The iteration sequence can consist of the steps, which are discussed in this paper.
