Abstract
A personal communications system (PCS) that centers on integration
of services to provide access to data and communications using a
specialized, wireless multimedia terminal is described. The possible
applications and support systems for such a terminal are outlined.
Several of the major design issues behind portable multimedia terminals,
including spectrally efficient picocellular networking, low-power
digital design, video data compression, and integrated wireless RF
transceivers, are discussed. It is argued that optimizing performance in
each of these areas is crucial in meeting the performance requirements
of the overall system and providing a small, lightweight terminal for
personal communications
