Rationale for TETRA Release 2
In a fast moving Telecommunications world to provide
TETRA community with emerging wide-band and multi-
media services.
To prolong the life cycle of TETRA technology.
To provide an upgrade path to TETRA V+D users.
To provide inter-working with new public mobile
networks (2.5G / 3G).
To ensure future proof investment to TETRA users.
Glean benefits of new technology deployments.
4
EP TETRA Revised Terms of Reference
approved at Board#28
To provide packet data at much higher speeds than are available in
the current standard (10 fold increase).
To select and standardize additional speech codec(s).
To further enhance the TETRA air interface standard.
To produce and/or adopt standards to provide improved TETRA
interworking and roaming with GSM, 2.5G/3G networks.
To evolve the TETRA SIM to U-SIM.
To extend the operating range of TETRA.
To ensure full backward compatibility and integration with existing
TETRA standards.

Developments in TEDS Standardisation
A review of the User Requirements to reflect changing
market conditions and resolve conflicting issues.
A TETRA Release 2 User Workshop was jointly organised
with WG1 resulting in:
Most applications in early systems will be satisfied with a 50 to
80 kbit/s user rate
Minimum of 50 kbit/s shall be available at the edge of coverage
Adaptive technology and higher data rate should also be
provided by the selected technology for future proofing
Need for simultaneous voice and HSD operation with priority for
voice if required
1W maximum transmit power for handsets and possibly 3W
maximum for vehicular radio.
Technology submissions were revised taking these factors
into account.

TEDS Technology Solution
In July 4 2002 WG4 reached a consensus on a
technology solution.
This was based on a compromise solution agreed by
six companies who had submitted technology
proposals.
WG4 then raised a Work Plan for the remaining
standardisation issues:
Remainder of the physical layer
Higher layer protocols
Adaptive usage of system resources.
This plan makes as much use of existing TETRA V+D
standard as possible to ensure backward compatibility
(e.g. use of TETRA V+D control channel).
10
Selected Technology Parameters (1)
Multi-carrier platform with TDMA carriers.
Adaptive selection of modulation and coding
according to propagation conditions.
Agreed modulation schemes:
4 QAM for efficient links at edge of coverage
16 QAM for moderate speeds
64 QAM for high speed
/4 DQPSK for common control channel
D8PSK for early migration requiring modest increase in
speed
Optimised channel coding is under STF 179 work.
Carrier bandwidths: 25, 50, 100 and 150 kHz.
11
Selected Technology Parameters (2)
Pilot symbol used for channel estimation.
Full and half slot sizes:
14.176 ms for 25 kHz and possibly 50 kHz with low level
modulation,
7.08 ms for higher bandwidth carriers and higher level
modulations.
Each QAM carrier is composed of a number of sub-
carriers at base-band (8 sub-carriers in 25 kHz).
Expected user bit rates in the region of 30 to 400 kbit/s
TETRA V+D higher layer protocols to be adapted for
TEDS.

STF Support for TEDS Standardisation
Optimised Channel Coding and Interleaving for TEDS
Carriers

Adaptive Link Control for TEDS
Use of Multi-media Services in a TEDS System

Summary
Set of TETRA Release 2 User Requirement Specifications (URS)
(mainly for TEDS) has been created by the EPT and TETRA users.
TAPS overlay High Speed Data standardisation has been
completed in WG4.
The physical layer technology for TEDS integrated (with TETRA
V+D) solution has been selected and work on other areas is well
underway.
Four STF support projects have been identified and are in various
stages of progress.
TEDS integrated HSD standardisation is currently scheduled for
completion by the end of 2003.

TEDS: HSD Workshop conclusion
WG4 working assumptions:
deploy HSD on existing TETRA 1 base stations
maximum terminal power 1W for handportable, 3 W for
mobile
trade off between spectrum, data rates and range is
needed
realistic target data rates are in the range of 50-150
kbit/s
extra spectrum is essential
