3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
Access Rights Class (ARC): type of access to a DECT network, such as public, residential or private
Access Rights Details (ARD): unique number within one ARC
Access Rights Identity (ARI): globally unique identity that shows the access rights related to a service provider
NOTE: PARI = Primary ARI;

algorithm identifier: designator to show which algorithm is in use, so that the correct one may be chosen
antenna diversity: diversity implies that the Radio Fixed Part (RFP) for each bearer independently can select different
antenna properties such as gain, polarization, coverage patterns and other features that may affect the practical coverage
NOTE: A typical example is space diversity, provided by two vertically polarized antennas separated by 10 cm to
20 cm.
asymmetric algorithm: See public key algorithm.
