TETRA ENHANCED DATA SERVICE (TEDS)

1. TEDS COLLOQUIUM TETRA ENHANCED DATA SERVICE (TEDS) Dr. M. Nouri Chairman of EPT Working Group 4 (WG4) High Speed Data

2. Agenda • TETRA Release 2 Terms of Reference. • User Requirements for High Speed Data (HSD). • Technologies for HSD (TAPS and TEDS). • Developments in TEDS Standardisation. • TEDS Technology Solution and Parameters. • Conclusions.

3. Rationale for TETRA Release 2 • In a fast moving Telecommunications world to provide TETRA community with emerging wide-band and multi-media services. • To prolong the life cycle of TETRA technology. • To provide an upgrade path to TETRA V+D users. • To provide inter-working with new public mobile networks (2.5G / 3G). • To ensure future proof investment to TETRA users. • Glean benefits of new technology deployments.

4. EP TETRA Revised Terms of Referenceapproved at Board#28 • To provide packet data at much higher speeds than are available in the current standard (10 fold increase). • To select and standardize additional speech codec(s). • To further enhance the TETRA air interface standard. • To produce and/or adopt standards to provide improved TETRA interworking and roaming with GSM, 2.5G/3G networks. • To evolve the TETRA SIM to U-SIM. • To extend the operating range of TETRA. • To ensure full backward compatibility and integration with existing TETRA standards.

8. Developments in TEDS Standardisation • A review of the User Requirements to reflect changing market conditions and resolve conflicting issues. • A TETRA Release 2 User Workshop was jointly organised with WG1 resulting in: • Most applications in early systems will be satisfied with a 50 to 80 kbit/s user rate • Minimum of 50 kbit/s shall be available at the edge of coverage • Adaptive technology and higher data rate should also be provided by the selected technology for future proofing • Need for simultaneous voice and HSD operation with priority for voice if required • 1W maximum transmit power for handsets and possibly 3W maximum for vehicular radio. • Technology submissions were revised taking these factors into account.

9. TEDS Technology Solution • In July 4 2002 WG4 reached a consensus on a technology solution. • This was based on a compromise solution agreed by six companies who had submitted technology proposals. • WG4 then raised a Work Plan for the remaining standardisation issues: • Remainder of the physical layer • Higher layer protocols • Adaptive usage of system resources. • This plan makes as much use of existing TETRA V+D standard as possible to ensure backward compatibility (e.g. use of TETRA V+D control channel).

10. Selected Technology Parameters (1) • Multi-carrier platform with TDMA carriers. • Adaptive selection of modulation and coding according to propagation conditions. • Agreed modulation schemes: • 4 QAM for efficient links at edge of coverage • 16 QAM for moderate speeds • 64 QAM for high speed • /4 DQPSK for common control channel • D8PSK for early migration requiring modest increase in speed • Optimised channel coding is under STF 179 work. • Carrier bandwidths: 25, 50, 100 and 150 kHz.

11. Selected Technology Parameters (2) • Pilot symbol used for channel estimation. • Full and half slot sizes: • 14.176 ms for 25 kHz and possibly 50 kHz with low level modulation, • 7.08 ms for higher bandwidth carriers and higher level modulations. • Each QAM carrier is composed of a number of sub-carriers at base-band (8 sub-carriers in 25 kHz). • Expected user bit rates in the region of 30 to 400 kbit/s • TETRA V+D higher layer protocols to be adapted for TEDS.

12. STF Support for TEDS Standardisation • Optimised Channel Coding and Interleaving for TEDS Carriers • TETRA Release 2 TEDS Protocol Adaptation (excluding the Physical Layer) • Adaptive Link Control for TEDS • Use of Multi-media Services in a TEDS System

13. TEDS Standardisation Timeline(2003)

14. Summary • Set of TETRA Release 2 User Requirement Specifications (URS) (mainly for TEDS) has been created by the EPT and TETRA users. • TAPS overlay High Speed Data standardisation has been completed in WG4. • The physical layer technology for TEDS integrated (with TETRA V+D) solution has been selected and work on other areas is well underway. • Four STF support projects have been identified and are in various stages of progress. • TEDS integrated HSD standardisation is currently scheduled for completion by the end of 2003.
