Foreword
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) has been produced by the Radio Equipment and Systems (RES)
Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and was adopted
after having passed through the ETSI standards approval procedure.
This TBR covers the general attachment requirements for terminal equipment for the Digital European
Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) common interface.
This TBR contains the procedures and requirements for the type examination of Digital European Cordless
Telecommunications (DECT) equipment.
DECT equipment capable of being physically attached to the public network will also meet the appropriate
attachment requirements. Speech attachment requirements are covered in draft TBR 10.
This TBR is based on the DECT common interface ETS 300 175 [1] to [7] and I-ETS 300 176 [13].
Clause 18 of this TBR contains changes to text in ETS 300 175-3 [3] and should therefore be read in
conjunction with this TBR. The ETS will be amended in due course to reflect these changes, following the
normal ETSI amendment procedure.

1 Scope
This TBR specifies the technical characteristics to be provided by terminal equipment which is capable of
connection to a public telecommunications network and which uses DECT cordless communications for
network access. The cordless transmissions for such terminal equipment operate within the frequency
band 1 880 - 1 900 MHz.
The objective of this TBR is to ensure that no disturbance occurs to the public network, and to ensure
interworking between network and terminal so that calls can be routed successfully through the network,
but without any guarantee of terminal to terminal operation.
The requirements in this TBR applies together with the attachment requirements for the appropriate public
network (see NOTE 2) and the requirements of any other relevant TBR. It does not add to or reduce the
attachment requirements unless there is a particular effect on the network which is unique to DECT.
A DECT terminal equipment comprises two elements, referred to as a Fixed Part (FP) and a Portable Part
(PP). This TBR is structured to allow type approval of the FP and PP as separate items.
Because of the need for effective use of the radio frequency spectrum, the air interface characteristics
between FP and PP shall be tested.
For each requirement, a test is given, including measurement methods. Requirements apply at the public
network interface of the terminal equipment, which may be stimulated to perform the tests by additional
equipment if necessary.
Terminal equipment may be subject to additional or alternative requirements in other CTRs depending on
its functionality, in particular if it supports a service which is considered a justified case for regulation of
terminal equipment interworking via the public telecommunications network.
NOTE 1: This TBR is based on the radio and protocol provisions of I-ETS 300 176 [13].
NOTE 2: TBR for basic ISDN, TBR for primary rate ISDN, or national regulations (implementing
ETS 300 001) for PSTN. Interconnection of a DECT terminal to a GSM network is still
under study; in due course, the scope statement may need amending to reflect this
point.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this TBR, the following definitions apply:
Antenna diversity: antenna diversity implies that the RFP for each bearer independently can select
different antenna properties such as gain, polarisation, coverage patterns, and other features that may
effect the practical coverage. A typical example is space diversity, provided by two vertically polarized
antennas separated by 10 - 20 cm.
Bearer handover: the internal handover process provided by the MAC layer, whereby one MAC
connection can modify its underlying bearers while maintaining the service provided to the DLC layer.
NOTE 1: Bearer handover is slot based.
Cell: the domain served by a single antenna system (including a leaky feeder) of one fixed part.
NOTE 2: A cell may include more than one source of radiated RF energy (i.e. more than one
radio end point).
Central Control Fixed Part (CCFP): a physical grouping that contains the central elements of a fixed
part. A fixed part shall contain a maximum of one CCFP.
NOTE 3: A CCFP controls one or more RFPs.
Conducted measurements: measurements which are made using a direct connection to the equipment
under test.
DECT-like carrier: a modulated RF DECT carrier used for interference testing which conforms to the
requirements in ETS 300 175-2 [2] in terms of frequency and timing and uses a pseudo-random sequence
for modulation.
Double slot (slot): one 12th of a TDMA frame which is used to support one high capacity physical
channel.
Duplex bearer: the use of two simplex bearers operating in opposite directions on two physical channels.
These pairs of channels always use the same RF carrier and always use evenly spaced slots (i.e.
separated by 0,5 TDMA frame).
Equipment Under Test (EUT): the equipment submitted to the test laboratory for type examination.
Fixed Part (DECT fixed part) (FP): a physical grouping that contains all of the elements in the DECT
network between the local network and the DECT air interface.
NOTE 4: A DECT fixed part contains the logical elements of at least one fixed radio termination,
plus additional implementation specific elements.
Fixed radio Termination (FT): a logical group of functions that contains all of the DECT processes and
procedures on the fixed side of the DECT air interface.
NOTE 5: A fixed radio termination only includes elements that are defined in the DECT CI
standard. This includes radio transmission elements (layer 1) together with a selection
of layer 2 and layer 3 elements.
Full slot (slot): one 24th of a TDMA frame which is used to support one physical channel.
Half slot: one 48th of a TDMA frame which is used to support one physical channel.
