Foreword
This ETSI Technical Report (ETR) has been produced by the Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications (DECT) Project of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
ETRs are informative documents resulting from ETSI studies which are not appropriate for European
Telecommunication Standard (ETS) or Interim European Telecommunication Standard (I-ETS) status. An
ETR may be used to publish material which is either of an informative nature, relating to the use or the
application of ETSs or I-ETSs, or which is immature and not yet suitable for formal adoption as an ETS or
an I-ETS.

1 Scope
The purpose of this ETSI Technical Report (ETR) is to give an overview of the Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications/Global System for Mobile communications (DECT/GSM) Interworking Profile (GIP)
standards and Technical Bases for Regulation (TBRs) and how they may be applied. Most attention is
given to DECT/GSM interworking via the GSM A-interface, as this area of standardization is presently the
most advanced.

4 Introduction
DECT is a standard for short range, low power, digital cordless communications. GSM is a standard for
digital radio telephony and data networks, offering high tier mobility. The combination of DECT with GSM
offers new possibilities.
There are three approaches to DECT/GSM integration:
- Dual mode terminal with no interworking;
- A-interface interconnection;
- ISDN+ interconnection.
The main body of this ETR describes the GIP based on the GSM A-interface. DECT access to GSM via
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is described in annex A. Dual mode terminals are outlined in
annex B but will be described in other ETRs (DTR/RES-03095 [38] and DTR/RES-03096 [39]) and in
TBR 39 [28]. Annex C outlines future standardization work for GIP based on A-interface interconnection.
Annex D of this ETR describes some scenarios of DECT/GSM integration, based on one or more of the 3
approaches above.

Figure 1: DECT/GSM interworking based on A-interface interconnection
DECT/GSM interworking based on A-interface interconnection is shown in figure 1. The DECT Fixed Part
(FP) is connected to the GSM Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) on the GSM A-interface. Interworking Units
(IWUs) in the DECT FP and Portable Part (PP) make the translation between DECT and GSM layer 3
protocols. To the MSC, the DECT FP appears like a base station system (BSS). An advantage of this
method of interworking is that no changes to the A-interface or MSCs are required. However, changes to
the A-interface may be considered in the future for more efficient interworking (e.g. to allow Adaptive
Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM), DECT specific bearer services).
The terminal that attaches to the FP is a GIP compliant DECT PP and accepts a card with a Subscriber
Identity Module (SIM). It can roam between Radio Fixed Parts (RFPs) connected to the same FP, or
between RFPs connected to different RFPs by involving the MSC. The SIM can be physically moved to a
ME which accesses the Public Land Mobile radio Network (PLMN) via the GSM air interface.
NOTE: For more advanced scenarios involving dual mode terminals, see annex D.

5 DECT/GSM Interworking profiles - A-interface
5.1 Summary
This clause is a summary of the GIP standards, based on A-interface interconnection. These standards
add detail to DECT Common Interface specification ETS 300 175 [33] and the Generic Access Profile
(GAP), ETS 300 444 [5] to enable DECT terminals to inter-work in the public and private environment with
DECT systems which are connected to a MSC. Inter-working is based on GSM PLMN phase 2.
