  Mobile/Cellular Technology - PDC (Personal Digital Cellular) Telephone Technology - Mobile Cellular Voice
PDC (Personal Digital Cellular) is a second-generation technology used in digital cellular telephone communication in Japan.
PDC is currently only used in Japan, with the first systems introduced by NTT DoCoMo in 1991 as a replacement for the earlier analog networks.
PDC is the most spectrally efficient of TDMA technologies, with six half-rate (or three full-rate) channels possible in a 25kHz frequency space, compared to three channels in 30kHz in IS-136 and eight channels in 200kHz for GSM.

 Radio-Electronics.Com :: Personal Digital Cellular (PDC)
PDC was introduced in Japan in 1991 with the move from analogue to digital technology.
As already mentioned PDC is a TDMA system and it operates by splitting each channel into several time slots and thereby allowing several users to use the same frequency channel.
Whilst it may appear that the spectral efficiency of PDC would result in a lower level of features, it manages to support many of the expected features including text messaging and caller identification.

As the cellular telephone user moves from one cell or area of coverage to another, the telephone is effectively passed on to the local cell transmitter.
When a cellular user is in motion, in a car for example, and travels out of range of the original BST, the BSC acts as a switch and ensures that the call is effectively passed over to the next BTS.
This enables digital music to be transmitted and stored efficiently within the constraints of a limited bandwidth network, such as in the context of a mobile environment.

Cellular telephone is a type of short-wave analog or digital transmission in which a subscriber has a wireless connection from a mobile telephone to a relatively nearby transmitter.
A cellular telephone is not to be confused with a cordless telephone (which is simply a phone with a very short wireless connection to a local phone outlet).
The "personal" in PCS distinguishes this service from cellular by emphasizing that, unlike cellular, which was designed for car phone use with transmitters emphazing coverage of highways and roads, PCS is designed for greater user mobility.

 Heterogeneous Personal Communications Services
The name "personal communications services" (PCS) is often used as an umbrella term that includes various wireless access and personal mobility services with the ultimate goal of enabling communication, through a small terminal, with a person at any time, at any place, and in any form.
Although the cellular and the cordless systems have similar architectures, their design guidelines are different (to be elaborated in the next section).
For example, by integrating a cellular system and a cordless system, the quality of circuits is improved (from the viewpoint of the cellular system) and higher user mobility is supported (from the viewpoint of the cordless system).
