FACCH - Fast Associated Control Channel
( similar to the SDCCH but used in parallel for operation of the TCH. If the data rate of the SACCH is insufficient borrowing mode is used)
FB - Frequency Correction Burst; used for frequency synchronisation of the mobile
FCC - Federal Communications Commission; the US regulatory body for telecommunications
FCCH - Frequency Correction Channel (also Frenquency Control Channel)
FDD - Frequency Division Duplex
FDMA - Frequency Division Multiple Access
(a transmission technique where the assigned frequency band for a network is divided into sub-bands which are allocated to a subscriber for the duration of their calls)
FEC - Forward Error Correction
FH - Frequency Hopping
FH-CDMA - Frequency Hopping CDMA
FMC - Fixed Mobile Convergence
FMI - Fixed Mobile Integration
FPLMTS - Future Public Land Mobile Telecommunications System
(the original title of the ITU’s third generation concept now known as IMT-2000)
FRA - Fixed Radio Access; see WLL
FSDPSK - Filtered Symmetric Differential Phase Shift Keying
FSK - Frequency Shift Keying
( a method of using frequency modulation to send digital information)
FSOQ - Frequency Shift Offset Quadrature Modulation
FSS - Fixed Satellite ServiceGb
(The interface between the PCU and the SGSN in a GSM/GPRS network)
FOMA - Freedom Of Mobile multimedia Access
