Foreword
Part 5 of this Interim European Telecommunication Standard (I-ETS) was produced by the Terminal
Equipment (TE) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
An ETSI standard may be given I-ETS status either because it is regarded as a provisional solution ahead
of a more advanced standard, or because it is immature and requires a "trial period". The life of an I-ETS
is limited to three years after which it can be converted into an ETS, have it's life extended for a further
two years, be replaced by a new version, or be withdrawn.
This is the fifth Part of an I-ETS which is currently intended to comprise eight Parts.
Part 1: General.
Part 2: PCM A-law, Handset telephony.
Part 3: Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) A-law, loudspeaking and handsfree telephony.
Part 4: Interface for additional equipment to an ISDN telephony terminal.
Part 5: Wideband (7 kHz) handset telephony.
Part 6: Wideband (7 kHz) handsfree telephony.
Part 7: Locally generated information tones.
Part 8: Speech transmission characteristics when using low-delay code-excited linear prediction coding
at 16 kbit/s.
Part 5 of this I-ETS provides the technical characteristics of Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
handset telephones terminals suitable to support the telephony 7 kHz teleservice.
Proposed announcement date
Date of adoption of this I-ETS: 1 December 1995
Date of latest announcement of this I-ETS (doa): 31 March 1996
Introduction
This I-ETS presents the terminal of handset terminals supporting the telephony 7 kHz teleservice in the
ISDN. It covers the following aspects:
1) D-channel signalling;
2) inband signalling;
3) speech transmission characteristics.
The D-channel and inband signalling procedures are based on existing standards, and references are
made to these.
A 7 kHz bandwidth handset usually requires the use of low acoustic impedance receivers. To test these
receivers, a type 3.2 artificial ear as specified in ITU-T Recommendation P.57 is needed. Although this ear
is specified by ITU-TS, commercially available devices have only recently appeared on the market. The
requirements presented are then primarily based on test results using prototypes developed by individual
test laboratories. The results need to be checked on the commercially available devices to secure
reproducibility.

Page 8
I-ETS 300 245-5: December 1995
A terminal that supports the telephony 7 kHz teleservice also supports the telephony 3,1 kHz teleservice.
The terminal requirements for supporting this teleservice can be found in Parts 1 and 2 of this I-ETS. The
receive characteristics requirements and test methods specified therein are not valid when low acoustic
impedance receivers are used.
There is an urgent need for a standard on the speech transmission characteristics of telephony 7 kHz
terminals. ETSI has, therefore, decided to publish this I-ETS in order to provide manufacturers and test
laboratories with a set of agreed requirements and test procedures based on the state of the art. ETSI will
continue the work on requirements and test methods and the results of this work will be included in a
revised version to be issued when the period of validity of this I-ETS has expired. Findings and comments
to this I-ETS are welcomed and should be sent to ETSI at the address indicated on the title page.
In the present version, no requirements to Listener Sidetone Rating (LSTR) have been included because
the test methods require further study. The users of this I-ETS should note that requirements to all
characteristics where the receiver is included may be altered when more experience has been gained.

1 Scope
Part 5 of this I-ETS specifies the technical characteristics (logical and electroacoustic) that are necessary
to provide end-to-end compatibility of terminal equipment that support the telephony 7 kHz teleservice as
defined in ETS 300 263 which is intended for connection to the basic rate interface at the coincident S and
T reference point or S reference point of the pan-European Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), as
provided by European public telecommunications operators.
The requirements of this I-ETS are in addition to those of standards for connection to the ISDN basic rate
interface.
The requirements of this Part of the I-ETS describe the logical characteristics of the user-network
signalling and inband signalling relevant to this teleservice.
The requirements of this Part of the I-ETS provide real-time two-way speech communication of an
improved quality when compared with the telephony 3,1 kHz teleservice.
The speech transmission requirements of this Part of the I-ETS define only those characteristics relevant
to telephony terminals equipped with a handset.
Part 5 of this I-ETS is applicable to terminal equipment, and other equipment (e.g. interworking units,
conference bridges), equipped with a handset and supporting the telephony 7 kHz teleservice.
In this I-ETS, the speech transmission requirements are not applicable to:
- handsfree or loudspeaking telephony;
- telephony for disabled people (e.g. with amplification of received speech as an aid for the hard of
hearing);
- telephony in hostile environments.
NOTE 1: The characteristics of the ISDN user-network interface are specified in
ETS 300 012 [1] and ETS 300 102-1 [2]. Attachment requirements for ISDN telephony
terminals are specified in TBR 3 regarding the basic access and furthermore specified
in TBR 8 regarding the telephony 3,1 kHz teleservice in the ISDN.
NOTE 2: The telephony 7 kHz teleservice as defined in ETS 300 263, does not include a data
communication facility. The inband signalling codes for such a facility are, therefore,
not a Part of this I-ETS. Relevant information can be found in ETS 300 143 [3] and
ETS 300 144 [4].

modes of operation: The following modes of operation are defined:
Mode 0U: 64 kbit/s 3,1 kHz audio to CCITT Recommendation G.711 [9], unframed.
Mode 0F: 56 kbit/s 3,1 kHz audio to CCITT Recommendation G.711 [9] truncated to 7 bits,
framed.
Mode 1: 64 kbit/s 7 kHz audio to CCITT Recommendation G.722 [10].
Mode 2: 56 kbit/s 7 kHz audio to CCITT Recommendation G.722 [10] and up to 6,4 kbit/s data.
Mode 3: 48 kbit/s 7 kHz audio to CCITT Recommendation G. 722 [10] and up to 14,4 kbit/s
data.
NOTE: For modes 0F, 2 and 3 an additional 1,6 kbit/s capacity is reserved for service channel
framing and service control.
telephony 3,1 kHz teleservice: A teleservice providing speech transmission at an audio bandwidth of
3,1 kHz. The communication is bi-directional, with both directions active during the speech phase. User
information provided over a B-channel, signalling is provided over the D-channel [based on ETS 300 111,
clause 5].
telephony 7 kHz teleservice: A real-time teleservice in which speech (7 kHz or 3,1 kHz bandwidth) can
be interchanged using one circuit-mode 64 kbit/s connection [based on ETS 300 263, clause 5].
terminal types: Three types of terminals are defined. These types are:
Type 0: a digital telephony terminal working in mode 0U only.
Type 1: a telephony 7 kHz terminal capable of working in modes 0U, 0F, 1 and 2. In modes 0U
and 0F, both A-law and μ-law coding is implemented.
Type 2: a member of a family of telephony 7 kHz/data terminals capable of working at least in
modes 0U, 0F, 1, 2 and 3. In modes 0U and 0F, both A-law and μ-law coding is
implemented.
The Type 1 terminal supports the G.722-64 audio capability as defined in ETS 300 144 [4]. In order to
establish framing the terminal transmits and receives audio encoded according to CCITT
Recommendation G.722 [10] at 56 kbit/s.
The type 2 terminal supports the G.722-48 audio capability as defined in ETS 300 144 [4].
Weighted Terminal Coupling Loss (TCLw): The TCLw, using the calculation procedure as given in
annex A to this I-ETS.
