SIST EN 301 213-3 V1.4.1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 301 213-3 V1.4.1 for fixed radio systems using point-to-multipoint TDMA methods in the 24.5 GHz to 29.5 GHz bands. It specifies the TDMA-specific minimum technical requirements for central, terminal and repeater stations, so engineers and regulators can check spectrum use, power, performance and licensing data in a common way.

What does SIST EN 301 213-3 V1.4.1:2003 specify?

SIST EN 301 213-3 V1.4.1:2003 covers the TDMA part of a multipart standard for point-to-multipoint digital radio systems. It is intended to be used with EN 301 213-1, which provides the basic parameters common to all access methods.

The document is organized into six clauses and two annexes:

Annex	What it covers
Annex A	System type codes for regulatory procedures
Annex B	Bibliography

Clauses 1 to 3 cover scope, references, and definitions. Clauses 4 to 6 cover general characteristics, TDMA system parameters, and types of interfaces at the user equipment and the network node.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 213-3 V1.4.1:2003?

SIST EN 301 213-3 V1.4.1:2003 sets the TDMA-specific technical rules for P-MP radio systems in the fixed service band from 24.5 GHz to 29.5 GHz. In practice, this is the part of the standard a manufacturer, test lab or regulator uses to check whether a TDMA system fits the intended channel plan and meets the required radio performance.

Channel use and system types

Clause 4.2 says the band shall be used according to ERC/REC T/R 13-02, with regulatory bodies selecting suitable parts for P-MP use. The document defines system types A, B, C and HC with channel arrangements from 3.5 MHz to 112 MHz. The manufacturer shall declare the actual system traffic carrying capacity, gross bit rate and system type.

That matters because the declared type is what links the product to the applicable spectral mask, bit rate and licensing code.

Mixed mode operation

The notes under clause 4.2.2 allow a system to combine types A, B, C and HC on a per terminal station basis, provided the mixed mode operation meets the required spectral mask. In practice, this means the same equipment family can be used in more than one mode, but the strictest relevant emission limit applies.

Transmission and output power

Clause 5.5.1 limits the maximum mean transmitter output power for system type HC to +27 dBm. Clause 5.5.2 allows broadcast mode or TDMA burst mode, and permits automatic transmitter power control (ATPC), with power-setting tolerances of ±2 dB in environmentally protected locations and ±3 dB in non-protected locations.

That gives installers and compliance teams a clear target for power setting and site conditions.

Spectrum mask and measurement conditions

Clause 5.5.4 defines the RF spectrum masks for the central radio station, terminal station and repeater station. Measurements are made under full load, and the document gives spectrum-analyser settings for different channel spacings. Clause 5.5.4.3 also allows limited discrete CW components above the mask, subject to spacing and level rules based on CSmin and IFbw.

System performance and interference

Clause 5.7 requires a dynamic level range above 50 dB with BER below 10-3, and gives BER thresholds versus receiver input signal level for each system type. It also sets co-channel and adjacent-channel interference limits, which are what operators and test labs use to judge how well the system tolerates neighboring transmissions.

What terms does SIST EN 301 213-3 V1.4.1:2003 define?

• Point-to-Multipoint (P-MP) - A radio system where one central station serves multiple terminal stations.
• Central Radio Station (CRS) - The station that sends the downstream transmission and coordinates the system.
• Terminal Station (TS) - The remote station that transmits upstream in allocated timeslots or on a fixed basis.
• Gross bit rate - The transmission bit rate over the air, including the burst-mode instantaneous rate.
• CSmin - The minimum practical channel separation for a given channel arrangement.
• Residual BER (RBER) - The error rate remaining in the equipment under the specified test conditions.
• ATPC - Automatic transmitter power control, used to adjust output power during operation.

Who uses SIST EN 301 213-3 V1.4.1:2003?

SIST EN 301 213-3 V1.4.1:2003 is used by manufacturers of fixed radio systems, test laboratories, conformity assessment bodies, and spectrum or licensing authorities. It is also useful for network operators and buyers who need to compare equipment by channel spacing, system type, power limits and interference tolerance before deployment.

What changed in SIST EN 301 213-3 V1.4.1:2003 from the previous edition?

This edition makes editorial changes to Part 3 of EN 301 213. The foreword says that references and requirements for multicarrier TDMA systems were removed from this part because they are now covered in EN 301 213-5, and the notes for spectral requirements of mixed mode modulation formats were revised.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 213-3 V1.4.1:2003?

• EN 301 213-1 - Provides the basic parameters and the clauses that Part 3 refers back to for shared requirements.
• TR 101 274 - Gives an overview of the different access techniques used in point-to-multipoint DRRS.
• ERC/REC T/R 13-02 - Provides preferred channel arrangements for the fixed service in the 22.0 GHz to 29.5 GHz range.
• EN 301 213-5 - Covers multi-carrier TDMA methods and takes over multicarrier-related material removed from Part 3.
• ERC/REC 00-05 - Supports use of the 24.5 GHz to 26.5 GHz band for fixed wireless access.
• ERC/REC 01-03 - Supports use of parts of the 27.5 GHz to 29.5 GHz band for fixed wireless access.

What does the SIST EN 301 213-3 V1.4.1:2003 document contain?

The document contains channel-arrangement tables, RF spectrum masks, spectrum-analyser setup values, BER threshold tables, and interference-sensitivity tables. It also includes a normative annex with system type codes for regulatory procedures, which is useful for national licensing and declaration. Annex B collects the bibliography used to support the technical rules and the related ETSI and ITU references.

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 terminals from different manufacturers are not required to interwork at radio frequency (i.e. no common air interface). The present document defines the requirements of radio terminal and radio-relay equipment and associated interfaces. The present document is part 3 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". The present version of the document takes into account that, with the final publication of EN 301 213-5 [4], information and requirements relative to multicarrier systems are now more organically reported there. Therefore similar information for multicarrier systems has been removed from the present document being redundant and superseded by EN 301 213-5 [4].

ETSI ETSI EN 301 213-3 V1.4.1 (2002-02) 6 1 Scope The present document describes the TDMA access method used in Point-to-Multipoin (P-MP) Radio Relay Systems. (P-MP) Radio Relay Systems may use different access methods. As some technical parameters are different for the various access methods, the standard is divided in four parts. A basic description of the different access methods and a comparison among them is provided in TR 101 274 [2]. The present document (Time Division Multiple Access Methods, TDMA) is to be used in conjunction with EN 301 213-1 [1], describing the basic parameters common to all access methods. The present document is related to characteristics of system operating with transmitters delivering to antenna port one single carrier; multicarrier systems (where more than one carrier is passed through the same final power amplifier or active antenna are considered in EN 301 213-5 [4]).
The present document specifies the minimum requirements for system parameters of Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) Point-to-Multipoint (P-MP) Radio Systems in the terrestrial fixed services operating in the band 24,5 GHz to 29,5 GHz (see ERC/REC T/R 13-02 [3]). Only sections specific to TDMA are described in respect to the paragraphs stated in EN 301 213-1 [1]. Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is an alternative to FDMA and CDMA covered in other parts of the present document. In TDMA Point-to-Multipoint (P-MP) systems, a central station broadcasts information to terminal stations in a continuous Time Division Multiplex (TDM) or in a burst TDMA mode. The Terminal stations transmit in TDMA mode. The users may have access to the spectrum by sharing it through time multiplexing. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document. • References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-specific. • For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply. • For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies.
