1 Scope
The present document gives an overall description of the lower layers of the radio interface for GSM based Cordless
Telephony Systems (GSM-CTS).
The GSM-CTS system is intended to provide a cordless connection between the fixed network and GSM-based CTS
Mobile Stations (CTS-MS) via a private CTS Fixed Part (CTS-FP).
Stage 1 is an overall description, from the service subscribers and user’s standpoint, that view the network as a single
entity which provides service to the user. GSM 02.56 [2] contains the CTS Stage 1 service description.
GSM 03.56 [5] is a Stage 2 document that describes the system architecture of the GSM Cordless Telephone Systems
(GSM-CTS), i.e. the system elements, the system interfaces and the functional capabilities.

4 Main concepts of the CTS radio interface
The main assumption behind the CTS work item and in particular the CTS radio interface, is that a modified single
timeslot state of the art GSM-MS chipset could be used for a home base station, i.e. as a CTS-FP.
The CTS radio interface has been designed to meet a requirement of low generated interference, either from the CTS to
existing overlaying PLMNS, either from a CTS to another CTS. This requirement is achieved by the combined usage of
the three concepts: beacon concept, AFA concept and TFH concept.
4.1 Beacon concept
A limited number of CTS-MS shall be served by one CTS-FP (see GSM 02.56 [2]). Therefore, a broadcast channel
continuously transmitted such as the BCCH in GSM is not needed for CTS.
A channel called CTS beacon channel (CTSBCH) is proposed with the following main characteristics: it is transmitted
by the CTS-FP every 26 frames in a 52-multiframe pattern, and allows the CTS-MS to synchronise with the CTS-FP.
Minimum signalling is also supported by the CTSBCH, so that it is the only logical channel a CTS-FP shall periodically
transmit on the CTS radio interface. Every other logical channel is only transmitted "on demand".

(GSM 03.52 version 7.1.1 Release 1998)
4.2 Adaptive Frequency Allocation (AFA) concept
A precise radio frequency planning can not be applied to the CTS-FP/MS pair, as the CTS is intended to be deployed by
the end-user. Therefore, a list of frequencies (the GFL) on which it is allowed to operate is given to the CTS. With the
AFA, interference measurements will be performed on the frequencies in the GFL to provide a ranking in the AFA
table, in order to exclude unacceptably interfered frequencies from the usage in CTS.
4.3 Total Frequency Hopping (TFH) concept
The remaining frequencies are used by the Total Frequency Hopping algorithm in order to reduce the interference of the
CTS with the overlaying PLMN and other CTS-FP/MS pairs. With TFH the interference caused by the CTS link is
spread across multiple GSM links (interference averaging) and the co-channel interference is due to different users at
different locations (interference diversity).
A new hopping algorithm which is especially tailored for use in CTS with improved performance compared to the GSM
hopping algorithms shall be used.
5 Radio Transmission and Reception
The CTS-FP and CTS-MS shall in Phase 1 GSM-CTS conform to the transmission and reception specifications of at
least one or more of the following cellular standards:
- P-GSM900
- E-GSM900
- DCS1800
- PCS1900
