In the USA, standards for cellular system operation are developed by
TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) technical committee
TR-41 and its subcommittees.  Some of these standards (with TIA
prices) are:
 
EIA/TIA-553 "Mobile Station-Land Station Compatibility Standard" $27
 
EIA/TIA-IS-19-B "Recommended Minimum Standards for 800-MHz Cellular
Subscriber Units" $24
 
EIA/TIA-IS-20-A "Recommended Minimum Standards for 800-MHz Cellular
Land Stations" $20
 
EIA/TIA-IS-41 "Cellular Radiotelecommunications Intersystem
Operations" (five parts: IS-41.1 "Functional Overview", $11;

IS-41.2 "Intersystem Handoff", $14; IS-41.3 "Automatic Roaming", $11;

IS-41.4 "Operations, Administration, and Maintenance", $14; IS-41.5
"Data Communication", $39)
 
EIA/TIA-IS-52 "Uniform Dialing Procedures and Call Processing
Treatment for Use in Cellular Radio Telecommunications" $18
 
EIA/TIA-IS-54 "Dual Mode Mobile Station-Base Station Compatibility
Standard" (not sure of price)
 
TIA-TSB-16 "Assignment of Access Overload Classes in the Cellular
Telecommunications Services" $11
 
TIA-TSB-17  "Uniform Dialing Procedures in the Cellular
Telecommunications Services"  $11 
 
TIA-TSB-21 "Uniform Cellular Feature Code and Service Code Dialing
Plan" $11
