Introduction The main field of application of Point-to-Multipoint (P-MP) systems is to provide access to both public and private networks (Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN), Private Data Networks (PDN)). By means of P-MP systems the network service area may be extended to cover both distant and scattered user locations; and the systems may be applied to build new access networks covering both urban and rural areas. Users are offered the full range of services by the particular public or private network. Users have access to these services by means of the various standardized user network interfaces (2 wire loop, new data services and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) ranging from basic rate to n x primary rate). P-MP systems provide standard network interfaces and transparently connect users to the appropriate network node. These systems allow a service to be connected to a number of users ranging from a few to several thousands and over a wide range of distances. P-MP systems are generally configured as Pre-Assigned Multiple Access (PAMA) radio systems or as Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA) radio systems. The essential features of a typical P-MP radio system are: - efficient use of the radio spectrum; - concentration; - transparency. SIST EN 301 021 V1.5.1:2003



ETSI ETSI EN 301 021 V1.5.1 (2002-02)6 Radio is often the ideal way of obtaining communications at low cost and almost independent of distance, and over difficult topography. Moreover, a small number of sites are required for these installations, thus facilitating rapid implementation and minimizing maintenance requirements of the systems. Concentration means that "m" users can share "n" radio channels (m being larger than n), allowing a better use to be made of the available frequency spectrum and at a lower equipment cost. The term "multi-access" derives from the fact that every user has access to every channel (instead of a fixed assignment as in most multiplex systems). When a demand arises an available channel (or channels) is allocated to it. When the demand is terminated, the channel is released for other use. Concentration requires the use of distributed intelligent control, which in turn allows many other operation and maintenance functions to be added. Transparency means that the network node and the user terminal communicate with each other without being aware of the radio path. Efficient use of the radio spectrum is generally achieved by reusing frequency sets at base stations in a cellular pattern. SIST EN 301 021 V1.5.1:2003



ETSI ETSI EN 301 021 V1.5.1 (2002-02)7 1 Scope The present document covers equipment, which may operate in frequency bands that have paired frequencies, which can be used by either equipment employing Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) or Time Division Duplex (TDD) techniques. For use with Time Division Duplex only one frequency of the frequency pair will be used and for the purpose of the present document the tx/rx separation will be zero. The present document contains a revision to allow flexible channel spacings where block assignments have been made in accordance with ERC P-MP recommendations. Nevertheless, the channel spacing is intended be the same in
down-link and up-link directions. 1.1 Applications The present document specifies the minimum and optional requirements for system parameters of Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) Point-to-Multipoint (P-MP) Radio Systems in the terrestrial Fixed Service operating in frequency bands in the range 3 GHz to 11 GHz. The present document covers the following typical Point-to-Multipoint (P-MP) applications: - voice;
- fax; - voice-band data; - telex, related to analogue interfaces; - data up to 64 kbit/s or beyond with optional interfaces; - ISDN; - digital video; - digital audio, related to digital interfaces. Radio terminals from different manufacturers are not intended to inter-work at radio frequency (i.e. no common air interface). The present document defines the requirements of radio terminal and radio-relay equipment including the interfaces. The requirements for multiplex, network management and antenna/feeder equipment may be addressed elsewhere. Testing to the present document will be undertaken with the guidance of a generic test methods document EN 301 126 [22], [23] and [24]. 1.2 Frequencies The present document covers fixed P-MP services operating in the 3,5 GHz, 3,7 GHz and 10,5 GHz bands, having the frequency plans as given in ERC Recommendations 14-03 [7], 12-08 [25], 12-05 [8] and in ITU-R Recommendation F.1189-1 [34]. 1.3 Access method The present document covers Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems.

ETSI ETSI EN 301 021 V1.5.1 (2002-02)12 The central station performs the interconnection with the network node carrying out a concentration function by sharing the total number of available channels in the system. The central station is linked either directly to all Terminal Stations or via Repeater Stations (RS) by microwave transmission paths. Whenever an existing digital transmission link is available, separating the CCS installed at the network node site and the CRS can optimize the network implementation. The general characteristics, which are typical for P-MP systems, are considered in the present document. These characteristics have been categories under four headings: 1) system characteristics; 2) radio characteristics; 3) type of services/user equipment and network interfaces; 4) power supply, mechanical and environmental characteristics. 4.2 System characteristics The following characteristics shall be used. 4.2.1 System capacity The present document defines eight System Types A, B C, D, E, F, G and HC. These systems represent different spectral efficiency in term of gross-bit-rate/Hz; the gross bit rate, defined in clause 3.3, has a unique relation to the symbol rate through the implemented modulation format: - A, E: lower complexity modulation formats (e.g. 4 states or equivalent); - HC: lower complexity modulation formats as System Type A (e.g. 4 states or equivalent), but with higher requirements for receiver sensitivity and tolerance to interference; - B and F: medium complexity modulation formats (e.g. 16 states or equivalent); - C: lower complexity modulation formats (e.g. 4 states or equivalent) for systems with a gross bit rate below 2 Mbit/s and limited to TDD operation only; - D and G: higher complexity modulation formats (e.g. 64 states or equivalent). The E, F and G system types are intended for OFDM modulation. The minimum gross bit rates for different channel spacing and system types are given in clause 5.2. The manufacturer shall declare the actual system traffic carrying capacity, the gross bit rate and the System Type. 4.2.2 Transmission error performance Equipment with system rate lower than 32 × 64 kbit/s or equivalent, shall be designed in order to meet network performance and availability requirements specified by ITU-T Recommendation G.821 [5] following the criteria defined in ITU-R Recommendation F.697-2 [17] for the local grade portion of the digital connection.
