1 Scope
The present document gives an introduction and overview of the complete Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications (DECT) Common Interface (CI).
This part of the DECT CI specifies the speech coding and transmission requirements.
In order to ensure satisfactory interworking of different portable and fixed units, it is necessary to specify the
transmission performance of the analogue information over the digital link. This requires not only use of a common
speech algorithm, but also standardization of frequency responses, reference speech levels (or loudness) at the air
interface and various other parameters.
The present document applies to DECT equipment which includes all the necessary functions to provide real-time
two-way speech conversation. A 3,1 kHz telephony teleservice conveyed over a DECT link (including Fixed Part (FP)
and Portable Part (PP)) which is capable of being connected (directly or indirectly) to the public network access point
has to comply with the requirements in the present document.
Tethered fixed point local loop applications are not required to comply with the requirements of the present document.
The speech performance characteristics defined in the present document typically conform to TBR 8 [13], which
specifies the overall performance between the handset acoustic interface and a 64 kbit/s A-law Pulse Code Modulated
(PCM) digital network interface. The deviations from TBR 8 [13] are mainly due to the consequences of non-PCM
coding and transmission delay.
The additional features described in clause 8 are those which are not included in TBR 8 [13], but which are likely to
occur in a DECT system: analogue interface, loudspeaking and hand-free facilities, tandeming with a mobile radio
network. Headsets are not covered by the present specifications.
For the DECT systems which connect to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) via an analogue interface, the
additional requirements, which have to be implemented in the FP, have as much as possible been aligned with
TBR 38 [17].
ETSI/STC TM5 has prepared a technical report, ETR 041 [21], to be used as a guide for network planning.
A summary of the control and the use of the DECT echo control functions, to guide on need for options to
manufacturers and installers, is found in annex A.
Information concerning test methods can be found in EN 300 176 [3]. The test methods take into account that DECT is a
digital system.
