Foreword
This European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Transmission
and Multiplexing (TM).
The present document contains the minimum technical requirements to ensure compatibility of products and
conformance with radio regulations across ETSI member states. Radio equipment from different manufacturers are not
required to interwork at radio frequency (i.e. no common air interface).
The present document defines the requirements for radio-relay equipment and associated interfaces.
The present document is intended to cover a variety of systems designed for a variety of services, applications,
performance objectives and deployment conditions. Therefore it is necessary if applicable to include in the present
document different sets of system parameters. In the present document these sets of parameters are referred to as
"system types".
The present document is part 1 of a multipart deliverable covering the Point-to-multipoint equipment;
Point-to-multipoint digital radio systems in frequency bands in the range 24,25 GHz to 29,5 GHz using different access
methods, as identified below:
Part 1: "Basic parameters";
Part 2: "Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) methods";
Part 3: "Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) methods";
Part 4: "Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) methods";
Part 5: "Multi-Carrier Time Division Multiple Access (MC-TDMA) methods".
Parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 are intended to be used in conjunction with the present document, describing the basic parameters
common to all access methods.
References in EN 301 213 parts 2 [4], 3 [5], 4 [6] and 5 [7] to technical parameters for P-MP systems apply equally to
MP-MP systems.
A basic description of the different access methods and a comparison among them are provided in TR 101 274 [8].
The present version differs from the previous one for editorial up-dating consequent to the publication of new ERC
Recommendations for FWA in these bands, to publication of EN 301 213-4 [6] and EN 301 213-5 [7] and to recent
terminology used in the other parts of the present document. Moreover, alignment to the recent status of EMC ENs
harmonized under R&TTE Directive [57] has been introduced without specific technical requirements change.

Introduction
The main field of application of Multipoint (MP) systems using the Fixed Service (FS) is to provide access to both
public and private networks (PSTN, PDN, etc.). By means of MP systems the network service area may cover scattered
subscriber locations. The systems may be applied to build new access networks by means of a multi cellular
architecture, covering both suburban, urban and regional areas.
Subscribers are offered the full range of services by the particular public or private network. Subscribers have access to
these services by means of the various standardized user network interfaces (e.g. 2-wire loop and ISDN ranging from
basic rate to n × primary rate).
Point-to-multipoint systems provide standard network interfaces and transparently connect subscribers to the
appropriate network node. These systems allow a service to be connected to a number of subscribers ranging from a few
to several thousand, and over a wide range of distances.
P-MP systems are generally configured as Pre-Assigned Multiple Access Systems (PAMA) or as Demand Assigned
Multiple Access (DAMA) Radio Systems.
The essential features of a typical MP Radio Systems are:
- efficient use of the radio spectrum;
- concentration;
- transparency.
Radio is often the ideal way of obtaining communications at low cost and almost independent of distance, and 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 subscribers 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 subscriber has access to every channel (instead of a fixed assignment as in most multiplex systems). When a
call is initiated one of the available channels is allocated to it. When the call is terminated, the channel is released for
another call. Concentration requires the use of distributed intelligent control which in turn allows many other operations
and maintenance functions to be added.
Transparency means that the exchange (service node) and the subscriber equipment communicate with each other
without being aware of the radio link.

1 Scope
The present document specifies the minimum requirements for system parameters of Point-to-Multipoint (P-MP) Radio
and Multipoint-to-Multipoint (MP-MP) Systems in the terrestrial Fixed Services (FS) operating in the bands 24,5 GHz
to 29,5 GHz.
Multipoint (MP) Radio-Relay Systems use in principle three different access methods, taking into account the basic
physical parameters of the frequency, the code and the time. This leads to the three basic access methods of:
- Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA);
- Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA);
- Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA).
In addition, in particular for wide-band applications, a multi-carrier transmission implementation may be applied, where
each sub-carrier uses one of the above access methodologies.
It should be noted that MP-MP systems differ from P-MP systems in that Terminal Stations may be connected directly
to one another in a series of short links and generally act as repeaters for traffic carried on to other stations. The
arrangement of links varies over time to accommodate changes in propagation characteristics and changes in the
subscriber base.
The MP system in the band 24,5 GHz to 29,5 GHz (ERC/REC T/R 13-02 [1]) will provide access to both public and
private networks (PSTN, PDN, etc.) by means of the various standardized network interfaces (e.g. 2-wire loop and
ISDN ranging from basic rate to n × 2 Mbit/s as well as local area to wide area data networks interfaces).
The system may be applied to build new access networks by means of a multi cellular architecture, covering urban and
suburban areas.
MP systems are generally configured as Pre-Assigned Multiple Access (PAMA) or as Demand Assigned Multiple
Access (DAMA) Radio Systems.
The present document covers the following MP applications:
- voice;
- fax;
- voice band data;
- telex;
related to analogue interfaces; and
- 64 kbit/s;
- ISDN;
- digital video;
- digital audio;
- Internet access;
related to digital interfaces;
- further applications like ATM, Frame Relay, LAN, WAN may also be provided.
The equipment covered by EN 301 213 should be designed to be able to meet the network performance requirements
foreseen by ITU-R Recommendations F.696-2 [9] and F.697-2 [10], for medium and local grade portion or ITU-R
Recommendation F.1189-1 [11] for the national portion (access or short haul) of the digital connection following the
criteria defined in ITU-T Recommendation(s) G.821 [12] and/or G.826 [13].
The availability requirements are under further study by the relevant bodies.

Network operators may choose different performance and availability requirements in order to extend the possible area
of application thus fitting to their network needs.
Radio terminals from different manufacturers are not intended to interwork at radio frequency (i.e. no common air
interface).
Regulatory bodies should take into account the inband coexistence between MP systems using differing access
methods.
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.
