A device that provides the control logic for terminal authentication, location management, alerting, and routing to radio personal terminal / radio terminations (RPT/RTs). [After T1.244-1995]

In personal communications service (PCS), (a) providing authentication of terminal information, (b) maintaining terminal location and capability information for each terminal, and (c) providing translation between terminal identification and location (routing address) for the completion of calls to terminals.

The process of associating a terminal with a terminal registration area. [T
1. Rpt34-1994]

A territory in which a wireless terminal is registered for terminal mobility.
Note: For T1 Technical Report 34, the alerting area may or may not be identical to the terminal registration area. [T
1. Rpt34-1994]

Information that the service provider maintains for a given user to characterize the services offered by the network to that user. A TSP may be allocated to an interface or to a particular user equipment or a group of user equipment. [T1.653-1996]

The variety of terminal or the originator (e.g., dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) phone, ISDN terminal). [After T1.667-1999]

In a wideband packet node, the part of the node that receives packetized traffic, depacketizes it, and then plays it back as channelized traffic. [T1.509-1995]

Of a UPT call, any network function associated with the termination of the call to the destination terminal. [After T
1. Rpt41-1995]

1. The load connected to a transmission line, circuit, or device.
Note: For a uniform transmission line, if the termination impedance is equal to the characteristic impedance of the line, wave reflections from the end of the line will be avoided. [From Weik '89]
2. In hollow metallic waveguides, the point at which energy propagating in the waveguide continues in… (Read More →)

A device used to terminate, position, and hold an optical fiber within a connector.
