2. Scope of current services for public PHS network
2.1 General
This sub-clause describes the current scope of services for the Public Digital Cordless Telephone.
A PHS user can communicate with the PHS/PSTN/ISDN/PLMN users. Every PHS user is assigned anunique identification number (PSN: Personal Station Number). The numbering plan should be
followed by ITU-T Recommendation E.164 in order to enable the PHS user to interconnect with
PSTNs/ISDNs/PLMNs. It depends on administrations for domestic numbering plan.
The current scope of services for the Public Digital Cordless Telephone are following:(1) Basic services(2) Supplementary services

(3) Roaming services.
2.2 Basic services
2.2.1 Objectives
The basic services for the Public Digital Cordless Telephone are intended to provide basic
telecommunication capabilities to the PHS users.
2.2.2 General description and definition
The basic services for the Public Digital Cordless Telephone are classified into bearer services andteleservices. The bearer services provide circuit-mode 32kbit/s and 64kbit/s bearer capabilities
between PSs. 32kbit/s bearer capabilities are speech, 3.1kHz audio, 32kbit/s unrestricted digital
information transfer. 64kbit/s bearer capabilities are 64kbit/s unrestricted digital information transfer.
The Public PS and ISDN terminal can communicate each other by using rate adaptation function in
PHS network. The teleservices are provided by low & high layer information transfer capabilities,
such as digital facsimile, personal computer, and TV conference.
These Teleservices for PHS are not currently specified(For Further Study).
2.3 Supplementary Services
2.3.1 Objectives
The supplementary services for the Public Digital Cordless Telephone are intended to provide
