Used in Japan, these are 2G TDMA-based protocols.
Personal Digital Cellular (PDC) is a version of TDMA technology used exclusively in Japan.
Personal Digital Cellular. PDC is a japanese standard for digital mobile telephony. It uses both full and half-rate speech coded (5.6 kbps) and allows high-speed transmission at 9.6 kbps to ensure efficient spectrum utilization. PDC has currently over 40 Million users and is therefore the most important standard after GSM.

Personal Digital Communications system for mobile networks used in Japan
A Japanese standard for digital mobile telephony in the 800 MHz and 1500 MHz bands. To avoid the previous problem of lack of compatibility between the differing types of earlier analog mobile phones in Japan (i.e. NTT type and US developed TACS type), digital mobile phones have been standardized under PDC. In the case of the PDC standard, primarily six channel TDMA technology is applied. PDC, however, is a standard unique to Japan which renders such phone units incompatible with devices which adopt the more worldwide prevalent GSM standard. Nevertheless, digitalization under the standard enables ever smaller and lighter mobile phones which in turn has spurred market expansion. As a result, over 93% of all mobile phones in Japan are not digital.
