This clause describes the general information and principles about C-IFx.xx series interface
specifications of Personal Handy-Phone System. The current C-IFx.xx series interface specifications
are constructed with follows.
C-IF0.00:

PHS-FWA System: General Description of Interface Specifications
This document includes the general information, typical network model and interface
reference points.

C-IF1.00:

General Description of Interface Specifications between Terminal Equipment and FWA
Subscriber Unit
This document includes the general information and common principles of C-IF1.0x
series.

C-IF1.01:

Interface Specification between Terminal Equipment and FWA Subscriber Unit

Other C-IFx.xx series interface specification will be defined in near future.
You can directly read the target PHS-FWA specifications to select above, if you need specificinformation immediately.

2. Principles
All of PHS-FWA interface specification documents have following principles.
i)
ii)

PHS-FWA systems are able to be applied any public switched telephone network.
PHS-FWA systems are able to be constructed by multi-vendor equipment.

3. Network Model and Reference Points
This clause indicates the PHS-FWA network model and reference points.
Typical PHS-FWA network model and reference points are described in figure 3-1/C-IF0.00.
Each reference point is explained as follows.
WIF1: PHS-FWA Subscriber unit Interface
WIF1 is the reference point of interface between Terminal Equipment and WSU (FWA SubscriberUnit).
WIF2: PHS-FWA Common Air Interface
WIF2 is the reference point of interface between WSU or WPS (FWA Personal Station) and WCS(FWA Cell Station).
WIF3: PHS-FWA - Service Node Interface
WIF3 is the reference point of interface between user WAC (FWA Access Controller) and SN(Service Node).
