5 Over-the-Air Protocol Summary
a62c68d15ce4c027189da2dda721d00c
102 398
5.0 General
The DMR over-the-air protocol from ETSI provides professional users in both the conventional (both single-site and multi-site) and systems (trunking or multi-site operation as examples) markets with the DMR protocol that has the following key characteristics over and above the existing feature and facility set the user...

5.1 Over-the-Air Protocol Description
a62c68d15ce4c027189da2dda721d00c
102 398
5.1.0 General
The DMR protocol is built around a 30 ms slot structure with a 50 % duty cycle. In the spaces between the transmitted blocks the protocol calls for the unit to be receiving. This therefore allows signalling and/or voice in the reverse direction even during a conversation. The perception of the user will be that this un...
a62c68d15ce4c027189da2dda721d00c
102 398
5.1.1 Signalling Advantages
Because of the rapid forward and reverse nature of the protocol, duplex operation in the time domain is possible and also signalling interchanges with an interchange latency of 60 ms (cycle-time). In addition to this, the ability to test voice at either end in this rapid manner gives the possibility for an excellent VO...
a62c68d15ce4c027189da2dda721d00c
102 398
5.1.2 6,25 kHz Equivalence
As there is no restriction on what happens in neither each slot nor any interrelation between them (other than the need to maintain time synchronicity), it is therefore possible to have two entirely separate conversations at the same time from two different units. By this means it is possible that two simplex calls can...

102 398
5.1.3 The Vocoder
In order to achieve interoperability between units from different suppliers, the same vocoder or a completely compatible vocoder will have to be used. In order to avoid undue restrictions being placed on suppliers and thus limiting the markets that they may choose to address, it has been agreed not to specify any parti...

102 398
5.1.4 Radiated Power and Range
Digital coding allows significantly improved recovery of the wanted signal in the presence of noise. This coding gain is often used to provide better absolute range. However, to apply this in this case would have severe impact on the frequency re-use and interference potential in the land mobile radio bands. Therefore,...

8.11.3.3 A Call to the PSTN (PABX) Example
In order for the MS to make a call to the PSTN (or PABX) the destination address (i.e. the dialling digits) cannot be accommodated in the random access call request. The tier III protocol uses a multi-part call set-up that has an extra step whereby the TSCC asks the calling MS for the dialled digits. The MS uses the UD...

10.2.1.1 Grade of Service
Grade of Service is a measure of system congestion, which is where immediate establishment of the call service requested is impossible due to temporary unavailability of a communication channel. A blocking type system is typical of telephony. If users place calls when all channels are occupied, the call is refused and ...

10.2.1.2 Channel Hold Time
When a call (for which a payload channel is assigned) is set up, the payload channel remains engaged by the users for the duration of the call. In lightly loaded systems the channel hold time has little effect, but as a system becomes more heavily loaded, holding times affect the grade of service. DMR tier III systems ...

10.2.2 Traffic Estimate
The starting point of any design process is the estimate of the MS traffic that is offered to the network. The range of services (voice/data, etc.), the frequency of requests, the duration of calls and the minimum grade of service are the common variables that should be considered. Additionally, the number of subscribe...
