General Information
- Abstract
The present document gives an introduction and overview of the complete Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) Common Interface (CI). The present document specifies the Network (NWK) layer. The NWK layer is part 5 of the EN 300 175 and layer 3 of the DECT protocol stack.The present document only specifies the C-plane (control plane) of the DECT NWK layer. It contains no specification for the U-plane (user plane) because the U-plane is null for all services at the DECT NWK layer. The C-plane contains all of the internal signalling information, and the NWK layer protocols are grouped into the following families of procedures:
• Call Control (CC);
• Supplementary Services (SS);
• Connection Oriented Message Service (COMS);
• ConnectionLess Message Service (CLMS);
• Mobility Management (MM);
• Link Control Entity (LCE).
The present document uses the layered model principles and terminology as described in ITU-T Recommendation X.200 and ITU-T Recommendation X.210.

Overview
SIST EN 300 175-5 V1.9.1:2006 focuses on the Network (NWK) layer of the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) Common Interface (CI) standard. This document, developed by SIST and aligned with the European EN 300 175-5 standard, specifies the protocols and procedures associated with the NWK layer - which is part 5 of the DECT CI series and corresponds to layer 3 of the DECT protocol stack.
The scope of this standard is strictly on the Control Plane (C-plane) for the NWK layer, covering signaling and internal network procedures, while expressly excluding the User Plane (U-plane), which is null for all DECT NWK services. This layered framework follows the internationally recognized principles described in ITU-T Recommendations X.200 and X.210.
Key Topics
The NWK layer, as standardized in SIST EN 300 175-5 V1.9.1:2006, defines families of procedures crucial for DECT interoperability and functionality, particularly in the realm of internal signaling for cordless telecommunication systems. Major procedure groups include:
- Call Control (CC): Procedures for call establishment, management, and release.
- Supplementary Services (SS): Management of added telephony features, such as call hold and feature activation.
- Connection Oriented Message Service (COMS): Reliable transfer of messages that require a connection-oriented approach.
- Connectionless Message Service (CLMS): For transferring messages that do not need a persistent connection, supporting both fixed and variable lengths.
- Mobility Management (MM): Ensures correct user identification, authentication, location updating, and access rights handling.
- Link Control Entity (LCE): Governs the establishment, re-establishment, suspension, and release of logical data links, as well as message queuing and paging requests.
Applications
The standard's focus on the Network layer is fundamental for robust and interoperable DECT cordless telecommunication systems. Practical applications include:
- Cordless Telephony in residential, business, and industrial settings by ensuring compatibility across DECT devices.
- Wireless Office Communication, providing seamless call handling, feature management, and device mobility.
- Secure and Scalable Connectivity across cordless networks, thanks to detailed procedures for authentication and ciphering.
- Efficient Supplementary Services, enabling advanced telephony features crucial for enterprise and operator deployments.
- Message Service Reliability, offering connection-oriented and connectionless messaging according to application needs.
- Mobility Management, facilitating uninterrupted service as devices move between network zones and base stations.
Manufacturers, network operators, and service vendors rely on compliance with SIST EN 300 175-5 to guarantee interoperability, reliability, and security of DECT solutions within European and international markets.
