4 GPRS Subscription and Charging Aspects
4.1 Charging aspects The exact charging aspect are operator specific, however the following aspects may need to be considered: There are two main methods of charging reflecting two broad types of application. Those applications that are offered to a set of subscribers independent of how many subscribers actually use the service at any point in time, and those applications whose subscribers are charged per service request. - Subscription fees. Subscribers pay a regular fee for a fixed period in which no extra costs are accrued for service requests. - Subscription and traffic fees. This is the traditional telephony pricing structure. In contrast to traditional telephony traffic fees, traffic fees in GPRS may include the volume1 of data, the type of service request (e.g. X.25 facilities) and the QoS etc. It should be possible to tariff GPRS use in the same manner as public packet switched data networks. Reverse charging should be provided as an option. 1 Techniques to measure data volumes to be studied should include simple byte/packet counting and advanced statistical sampling of data traffic.

5 GPRS Security Aspects
The use of radio communications for transmission to/from subscribers in mobile networks makes them particulrly sensitive to: 1. Misuse of their resources by unauthorised persons using manipulated mobile stations. 2. Eavesdropping on the information being exchanged on the radio path. Therefore, to protect the system in the two cases mentioned above, the following security features are provided for GPRS: - MS authentication; i.e. the confirmation by the land-based part of the system that the subscriber identity, transferred by the MS within the identifcation procedure on the radio path, is the one claimed. The purpose of this authentication is to protect the network against unauthorised use. It also enables the protection of GPRS subscribers by denying intruders the ability to impersonate authorised users. - Access Control; i.e. the network can support restrictions on access by or to different GPRS subscribers, such as restrictions by location, screening lists and so on. - User Identity Confidentiality; i.e. the property that the user identity on the radio link is not made available or disclosed to unauthorised individuals, entities or processes. The purpose is to provide privacy of identities of the subscriber´s who are using GPRS radio resources. It allows for the improvement of other security features, e.g. User Information Confidentiality, and also provides for the protection against tracing the location of a mobile subscriber by listening to the signalling exchanges on the radio path. - User Information Confidentiality; i.e. the property that the user information is not made available or disclosed to unauthorised individuals, entities or processes. The purpose is to provide for confidentiality of user data, i.e. protection of the message part pertaining to layers 3 and above, that passes over the radio path. This is FFS.

101 186
6.2.1 Interworking with other data networks and other PLMN´s
Interworking between a PLMN and data networks is determined by the network operator. Interworking with the following types of data networks shall be defined: - X.25 PSPDN - Internet / OSInet - Other GPRS PLMN´s, directly or via a transit network - and other networks (eg Frame relay, ATM, etc) for which there are currently no clear requirements GPRS shall support the features and facilities that are normally provided by each of the above fixed networks. The MS is expected to interwork with the X.25 network using standardised X.3, X.28 and X.29 mechanisms for asynchronous access and X.25 mechanisms for synchronous access. NOTE: Where X.75 is used for interworking between X.25 networks, it is not envisaged that there will be any additional implications for GPRS.

6.2.2 GPRS Numbering Plan
It is required that GPRS Terminating Equipment addresses conform to the numbering plan already defined for GSM, perhaps through the use of "Calling/Called Party Sub-addresses". This is already compatible with CCITT Recommendation X.121, suitable for Circuit Switched Packet Data Network / Packet Switched Packet Data Network interworking.

101 186
6.2.3.1 Point to Point Network Layer Services
A GPRS subscriber shall have a network layer address (temporary and/or permanent association) that conforms to the standard addressing scheme of the respective network layer service used, e.g.: - X.121 address (X.25) - IP Version 4 address for Internet CLNS. This may include the "extended IP address" of the emerging IP Version 6. - ISO CLNP NSAP (Network Service Access Point) for ISO CLNS.

7 O & M Aspects
The ability to manage the GPRS system is required. Typically management of: - Subscriptions - Radio resources - Multicast groups - Broadcast groups should be provided. Other aspects may also be required.

1 Scope
The present document identifies ringing signals used by various network operators on analogue interfaces of Public Switched Telephone Networks both for delivery of normal calls and also distinctive ringing signals used to support supplementary services. The present document deals with the time, cadence and waveform characteristics of the ringing signals uses in different countries. The present document is useful to terminal equipment intended for analogue connection to the public switched telephone networks and could be used as a complement of information to TBR 21 [1], subclause 4.5. This is a study that aims to compliment the information included in ETS 300 001 [2], subclause 1.7.9 considering the present development of European Telecommunications. The present document is applicable to the analogue interface of the Public Switched Telephone Network.

4.1.4 Other ringing signals used for normal call delivery.
In the UK there are some network operators who use different normal ringing cadences to the traditional one described in figure 3. Atlantic Telecom use two ringing cadences, one ringing cadence for residential customers and one for business customers. They are represented in figure 4. 1 500 ms on, 500 ms off, 500 ms on, 500 ms off, 500 ms on, 2 500 ms off ( Residential) 1 500 ms on, 500 ms off, 1 500 ms on, 2 500 ms off (Business) Figure 4

4.2 Initial ringing pulse
The initial ringing pulses in an alerting signal are different in many cases from the steady state cadence which follows, this may be due to the call set-up method of the network switch or to ring pulse alerting which is used on many networks in calling line identification presentation. These initial ringing pulses are not considered in further detail in this report because their characteristics cannot be very well defined and it was considered not to influence primarily the TE design. The existence of these non-cyclic signals should be considered.

4.3 Distinctive ringing signals
Distinctive ringing signals used to provide supplementary services are described in table 2. In some cases these ringing patterns are not intended to activate ring detectors in terminals with automatic answer function. Some of the supplementary services which would use distinctive ringing are multiple subscriber number, call completion busy subscriber and selective alerting.

4.3.1 Analysis of distinctive ringing cadences
From table 2 it can be seen that a number of network operators are using similar ringing cadences for different purposes. In order to classify these cadences it is necessary to assign values for the duration of long and short ringing pulses and pauses. It is recognized that the ratio of ring pulse time to pause time is an extra factor which is also important in the case of human perception of alerting patterns. Table 3: Timing Period Minimum Duration (ms) Maximum Duration (ms) Short Ring Pulse 180 550 Short Pause 180 1 200 Long Ring Pulse 750 2 000 Long Pause 1 500 5 000

4.3.2 Ringing cadence types used by more than one operator
Taking the figures in table 3, many of the distinctive ringing signals in table 2 can be classified as in tables 4 to 10.

5 Conclusions
From the information contained in table 2, it is clear that terminals supporting automatic answer would need flexible user programming to allow the user to configure the terminal to respond correctly to the different ringing signals used in their country. Some network operators expect automatic answer terminals not to respond to any of the distinctive ringing cadences, whereas other operators only expect automatic answer terminals not to respond to the cadence used for CCBS. There are 5 different cadence types used for CCBS in 6 countries. Although many of the distinctive ringing cadences have been classified in tables 4 to 11, in some cases there are cadences in those tables which deviate significantly from others in the same group.

6 Service implementation overview
From the protocol point of view, services are compatible when their information can be transmitted in the same message type. If different compatible services are invoked at the same time, their relevant information should be transmitted in a unique message, because only one message type is allowed per FSK transmission. The following table describes how information shall be used associated with services.

These systems are intended to be able to compete with and complement other broadband wired access systems including x (=generic) Digital Subscriber Loop (xDSL) and cable modems. In this context "broadband" means "above 2 Mbit/s", and 25 Mbit/s is the competitive benchmark for HIPERACCESS systems. This overview first covers the rationale for developing HIPERACCESS, by reference to alternative service delivery technologies that are expected to be available in the years 2000 to 2005. Then HIPERACCESS systems are introduced, with a working definition, their general characteristics and the general services to be supported. Finally, typical deployment scenarios for HIPERACCESS systems are considered. This discussion is given for background to the requirements of clause 5. TR 101 177 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 12

4.1 The rise of new telecommunications services and providers
The telecommunications service that many people now use in developed economies is about to change. The change may be slow or fast, but will happen for the following reasons: - the likely rise in user demand for high-bandwidth packet-oriented services such as internet access, whose delivery over current low-bandwidth copper loops is adequate today but not optimal. This will lead to a situation where it is predicted that most of the total information communicated in future networks will be "data" rather than "voice"; - the likely rise in demand for stream-oriented services such as video, and mixed data, voice and video services (e.g. internet), that exceed the bandwidth of the conventional "local loop"; - the de-regulation of the telecommunications industry, creating pressure on new operators to innovate in service provision in order to compete with existing, traditional telephone service providers; and - the response of the existing Public Telecommunications Operator (PTO)s to these scenarios. The likely demand put forward in the first two of these points is currently weak but nevertheless present [41]. This is characteristic of a stage in market development where unfamiliar new services are offered and the market is not yet prepared or educated sufficiently to create a wide demand. It is point (c) that is likely to create the pressure - new service providers will promote demand for new services in order to create a business for themselves. In response to these new entrants, existing operators are also likely to develop and compete for these new markets in order to avoid losing their pre-eminent positions. Multi-media applications and computer communications are often bursty in nature. Properly designed broadband systems allocate capacity to specific users "instantly", and given sufficiently large numbers of users take advantage of statistical multiplexing to serve each user adequately with a fraction of the bandwidth needed to handle the peak rate of all users simultaneously. The emergence of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and Internet Protocol (IP) networks exemplifies this trend. The equivalent in the wireless domain would be an access system that is ATM or IP compatible and served many users with one or more broadband channels, the capacity of each being allocated on demand rather than on a fixed basis. A typical user will expect to have an instantaneous high bandwidth available delivered by his access mechanism, but only occasionally. For example, he might expect a large document to be delivered very quickly so that he can start reading and digesting its contents. However, the period over which he is looking at the information in local storage means that the average bandwidth required to deliver a good service is low, even though the instantaneous bandwidth required is high. In this example, the average bandwidth required is constrained by the user's ability to read and assimilate information, but the instantaneous bandwidth required is dictated by the user's patience in waiting for complete documents to be delivered. However, even in the new broadband world voice communications will remain essential. Broadband systems will have to support Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) efficiently as well. Because of the continuing importance of narrowband communications, the ETSI Radio Local Loop (RLL) co-ordination group's report (TR 101 030 [33]) concluded that existing, narrowband, circuit-switched radio access system developments need to be continued where the market demand existed, unhindered by any attempt at additional standardization by ETSI. However, it also concluded that the foreseen rise in demand for broadband services would challenge existing narrowband radio local loop systems and proposed that ETSI should create a standard for broadband radio access. This led directly to the formation of the Broadband Radio Access Networks (BRAN) project. Later in the present document the characteristics of several possible services which could be delivered over broadband access networks are reviewed. However there will be many other applications which have not even been envisaged today which will be enabled by a broadband access network. Although it is far from clear which of these applications are destined to emerge as the dominant market drivers, several alternative mechanisms which can deliver broadband services in a service-independent way have been identified. HIPERACCESS Networks complement, and compete with, this portfolio of access mechanisms. TR 101 177 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 13

4.2 Competing access mechanisms for the information age
Many mechanisms are now available, or will shortly be, for providing residential access to broadband telecommunications services. It is intended that the technical characteristics of HIPERACCESS systems be set with reference to other access systems which might be used to support broadband services, and which will represent the competition against which HIPERACCESS will have to compete in the years 2000 to 2005. ETR 306 [6] is a useful reference which catalogues access systems suitable for residential customers. Taking account of the systems described in [6], and also including new developments, the following wired access systems address broadband access requirements to some degree: - xDSL over copper pairs; - cable modems over analogue or digital TV distribution systems; - fibre to the building, kerb, cabinet or home; and - electricity cables to the building carrying other services. Some current and proposed wireless access systems also support broad band services or are useful examples: - Point-to-MultiPoint (P-MP) radio relay systems as specified by ETSI TM4; - Multipoint Video Distribution System (MVDS), Local Multipoint Distribution System (LMDS) and LMCS in the 28 GHz and 40 GHz bands; - satellite systems; and - radio packet access systems. In wireless and wired access systems alike, bandwidth limitations exist in both the infrastructure and the access mechanism. The need to match the access bandwidth statistically to the needs of a population of users is perhaps most critical in the case of an information service provided using radio. However this need not diminish the overall service available compared to that available via alternative access mechanisms provided the system is properly dimensioned.

4.2.1.1 xDSL over copper pairs
There are several Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technologies, generically known as xDSL. Examples are High speed Digital Subscriber Loop (HDSL) (High-speed DSL), Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Loop (ADSL) (Asymmetric DSL) and Very high-speed Digital Subscriber Loop (VDSL), each of which is capable of providing a different data rate transport for high-bandwidth services over copper pairs, most of which can also trade bandwidth against distance. VDSL systems will deliver between 6,5 Mbit/s and 26 Mbit/s of continuous bandwidth to each user on a standard copper pair. However, most systems using HDSL for delivery to the customer would inevitable have a bandwidth bottleneck at a higher level in the network (for example at the local switch). Whilst the original development of HDSL provides a duplex symmetric service (normally at 2 Mbit/s) it does so at the cost of requiring multiple copper pairs (typically three). In most cases three pairs are not available from a switch to a large proportion of (in particular) residential customers' premises. Technologies such as ADSL and VDSL only require a single pair but are designed to provide asymmetric bandwidth, much higher from the switch to the customer than in the other direction.

4.2.1.2 Cable modems
Cable modems are already being used in some parts of the world for providing access to the internet. In this case, the local cable plant and its multiple access protocol is a bandwidth bottleneck, in addition to that of any data communications backbone. Whilst the availability of bandwidth on a cable is not constrained in the same way as is radio spectrum on-air, there are still constraints resulting from the bandwidth of the cables and their distribution amplifiers, and the intermodulation products that occur. TR 101 177 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 14 Cable modems allocate one or a few video channels in the downstream direction on a small segment of the system, serving typically up to 200 homes. Users share this using a statistical multiplexing technique, with upstream data being sent in a narrower band upstream contention channel. The users typically have packet-mode access to an downstream data stream of between 2 Mbit/s and nearly 30 Mbit/s depending on the system; and contention access to an upstream bandwidth of perhaps 2 Mbit/s. Cable modems use modulation techniques and modems developed for digital video applications, and so are based on a transmission technology developed for mass-market applications [48]. It is obvious that cable modem systems incorporate a bottleneck, since data to and from users is statistically multiplexed in the dedicated channels serving the single segment. The frequency planning of older cable networks also leads to more serious restrictions in the data communications bandwidth that can be delivered to users.

4.2.1.3 Fibre to the building, kerb, cabinet or home
Today, a Passive Optical Network (PON) is the most common configuration for fibre in the access network. A PON is a tree-type branching structure with a common broadcasting transmitter, and a time-division multiplexed return channel. It thus has some aspects in common with cable systems. Very large splitting ratios (>10k subscribers) are now possible by using optical amplifiers. Optical access technologies, e.g. PONs, are often used to feed other drop technologies such as coax/cable modems, twisted pairs/xDSL-lines, or even wireless systems. These systems are known as fibre to the kerb, cabinet etc. In these cases, an Optical Network Unit (ONU) terminates the optical line, and transfers the signal to some other drop technology for the last 100 m to 5 000 m, typically. An example is the use of Hybrid Fibre Radio (HFR), in which an optical fibre feeder system may be used to feed a number of radio cells. Radio base stations distribute the traffic to the end subscribers. In the simplest case, a PON (e.g. ATM-PON) can be used to feed the radio base stations. In order to reduce complexity and simplify maintenance, special transport feeder systems may carry the radio channels through the optical fibre at radio frequencies. Alternatively, the fibre can be continued to the end user (fibre to the home). Due to the inherent bandwidth of the fibre, and the simple transmission protocols needed, several 100 Mbit/s bi-directional traffic can easily be delivered to the subscriber, if there is a need for it. However the present costs of optical components and the lack of obvious applications for such large bandwidths other than for large businesses militates against such deployments. As mentioned above, this mainly pushes the bottleneck higher up into the system, but the fibre would facilitate e.g. multiple wideband services, multiple operators etc., on the same shared medium.

4.2.1.4 Electricity cables to the building
Since an electricity supply cable enters virtually every building where a telecommunications service might be required, there is a strong motivation to use this cable for communications purposes. Until recently mains communications has been used for limited applications within homes (for example home security, appliance control, baby alarms); or for special control purposes in supply networks (for example controlling street lighting). Large bandwidth and long range transmission has been hampered by the poor quality of the communications path, which has a widely varying characteristic impedance and large noise levels caused by electrical switchgear, switched mode power supplies, and induced signals of various types. More recently new, adaptive modulation methods and advanced error control have been applied to mains communications. This permits transmission over quite large distances, for example from a sub-station to the group of homes it serves, of bandwidths up to 1 Mbit/s with a limited capacity return path. The path remains intermittent (breaks occurring for example because of switchgear-induced splatter) so the communications is more appropriate for packet-mode services such as IP traffic. In summary, mains communications has been developed to the point at which it appears capable of delivering quite a fast internet service to homes (up to 1 Mbit/s maximum burst rate) with a limited capacity reverse channel. It is unclear yet whether isochronous services will be supportable. TR 101 177 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 15

4.2.2.1 Broadband point-to-multipoint radio relay systems
ETSI sub-technical committee TM4 is concerned with radio-relay systems, and prepares standards for Point-to-Point (PP) and P-MP equipment and antennas. TM4 standards specify the radio-frequency parameters of the equipment in such a way that spectrum management authorities and operators can plan the deployment of systems which will co-exist and provide the required quality of service for the operator combined with the maximum spectrum efficiency. TM4 standards do not define any elements of the protocol above the physical layer and do not enable inter-operability between conforming equipment from different manufacturers. TM4's P-MP standards have so far all been for radio access systems (including RLL) operating at the borderline between narrowband and broadband service. Most of these systems offer ISDN service, varying from basic rate (i.e. 144 kbit/s) to a single primary rate (i.e. 2 Mbit/s), although there are two work items, which are intended to offer higher than a primary rate ISDN access, namely: - a standard for broadband point to multipoint radio system in the 24,25 to 29,5 GHz band, which will offer n x 2 Mbit/s to a customer; - a work item for a flexible broadband P-MP system, however that work item has been suspended in anticipation that the BRAN project will produce such a standard under its HIPERACCESS work item (and hence it is not listed in table 1).

In general, programming distributed by these systems comes to the system head-end from satellite or terrestrial feeds. Programme signals are multiplexed and re-broadcast to customer's premises by P-MP microwave links. The use of microwave frequencies makes it necessary for the antenna at the customer premises to be in LOS with the transmitter or a signal repeater. Analogue MMDS systems are widely deployed in the US in the 2,5 GHz band, where the spectrum allocation allows for 33 analogue 6 MHz video channels. The reach is around 40 km, depending on antenna height. LMDS operates in the 28 GHz band with some 10 km LOS reach. These bands are not generally available in Europe for this purpose. TR 101 177 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 16 ETS 300 748 [9] specifies a digital broadcast system operating above 10 GHz which e.g. can be used in the 40,5 GHz to 42,5 GHz band. This band has been harmonized within CEPT for this purpose under CEPT Recommendation T/R 52-01 [36]. ETS 300 748 [9] uses the same Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation scheme as specified in EN 300 421 [1] for direct satellite broadcasting, in order to be compatible with the same Set-Top Box (STB) when used with a down-converter for the appropriate frequency band. It is referred to as a MVDS. DVB has also produced an LMDS specification EN 301 199 [5] that entered the public enquiry phase in December 1977. This specification is based on the interactive DVB cable specification ETS 300 800 [10] and uses FDM/TDMA multiple access in the uplink. Different uplink access modes are supported: reserved slots, reserved slots with dynamic reservation, contention slots and ranging slots. An uplink slot comprises a four byte unique word, an ATM cell (53 bytes), six bytes reed-solomon code and a one byte guard band. The uplink channel occupies 2 MHz bandwidth and supports a raw data rate of 3 088 Mbit/s and uses DQPSK modulation with alpha = 0,3. For the downlink, in-band signalling and out-of-band signalling are supported. In-band signalling is preferred, i.e. the signalling is transported in a broadband channel, according to ETS 300 748 [9]. DVB has also produced a digital broadcast MMDS specification EN 300 789 [4], applicable below 10 GHz, which is based on the broadcast specification EN 300 429 [2]. A new ITU-T study group 9 has started studying the physical distribution of MMDS services and possible harmonization with SMATV and cable TV distribution under Q.18/9. A new ITU-T Recommendation is being drafted. b) DAVIC - 'PHYsical (as in physical layer of a protocol) (PHY) on MMDS' , 'PHY on LMDS' DAVIC has also started work on MMDS and LMDS in the context of the DAVIC specification [37]. DAVIC addresses a physical layer interface supporting unidirectional digital transmission over radio frequencies (up to 10 GHz): 'PHY on MMDS'. This physical interface describes the frame structure, channel coding and modulation for the carriage of Motion Picture Experts Group type 2 (MPEG2)-streams. DAVIC 1.1 also addresses a physical layer interface supporting bi-directional digital transmission over millimetric radio waves (above 10 GHz): 'PHY on LMDS'. This interface is a P-MP Time Division Multiplex (TDM)/TDMA with a QPSK and/or 16 level Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16QAM) modulation. Two frame structures are provided for downlink data transmission, one for MPEG2 transport streams and the other for ATM-cell-transfer. An ATM-cell-transfer frame structure is provided for the uplink data transmission. Medium Access Control (MAC) messages, protocols and tools are also described in this specification in order to establish, maintain and manage the physical layer and the access control. DAVIC does not address a common air interface, or give any indication on frequency bands to be employed because this would be a decision of any country administration. Rather it defines a "Common Intermediate Frequency Interface" specification. The DAVIC LMDS specification can be applied at both the 28 GHz (LMDS) and 40 GHz (MVDS) bands. c) DVB - Terrestrial broadcasting Guidelines for the implementation for DVB terrestrial services will shortly be published as TR 101 190 [34]. A specification for a baseline transmission system for digital terrestrial television broadcasting has been approved by DVB and is published by ETSI as EN 300 744 [3]. This En specifies the channel coding/modulation system intended for digital multi-programme low, standard, enhanced and high definition television (Low Definition TeleVision (LDTV), Standard Definition TeleVision (SDTV), Enhanced Definition TeleVision (EDTV) and High Definition TeleVision (HDTV)) terrestrial services. It identifies the global performance requirements and features of the baseline system, in order to meet the service quality targets. The system is directly compatible with MPEG-2 coded TV signals. It has been designed for 8 MHz channels although an adaptation to 6 MHz and 7 MHz can easily been achieved by scaling down the various parameters, changing the clock frequency. Two modes of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) operation are defined: a "2k mode" and an "8k mode". The "2k mode" is suitable for single transmitter operation and for small Single Frequency Networks (SFNs) with limited transmitter distances. The "8k mode" can be used both for single transmitter operation and large SFN networks. Simulcast based on hierarchical channel coding and modulation is also considered to cover e.g. specific coverage and/or portability issues. QPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM are proposed for different code rates (1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8) and guard intervals (1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32) offering a wide range of possible useful bit rates from 4,98 Mbit/s to 31,67 Mbit/s.

4.2.2.3 Satellite systems
Geostationary satellite systems already provide analogue broadcast television channels to many residential subscribers, and digital services are now being introduced. Some of the digital downlink channels can be dedicated to a broadband IP service and shared among several subscribers. The users then request content from the Internet via their Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) line and get it at a higher speed via the satellite downlink channel. A next phase will consist to provide the request channel via a satellite uplink (with a bit rate limited to 128 kbit/s). The system architecture would allow the head-end to choose to route a downlink stream either to the PSTN network or to the satellite according to the expected traffic (through the PSTN network for low amounts of data and through the satellite for high amounts) in order to optimize the satellite capacity usage. Versions of the DVB standards have been developed, optimized for satellite transmission. New satellite systems are expected to be launched in few years providing bi-directional bandwidth on demand to business (up to a few megabits per second) and residential users (typically up to 512 kbit/s) almost everywhere in the world. Some of these systems will use a constellation of several tens or hundreds (depending upon the chosen technology) of low earth orbit satellites whereas other systems will rely on several geostationary satellites. The strength of satellite broadband access does not lie in capacity but in its global coverage.

4.2.2.4 Radio packet access systems
A number of radio systems have been deployed which specifically provide packet data access. These include mobile data systems such as mobitex and Radio Data-Link Access Protocol (RD-LAP); and the ETSI standard Trans European Trunked RAdio - Packet Data Optimized (ETS 300 393-1 [38]). A new bearer service is also being specified within the GSM family of specifications - General Packet Radio Service (TS 101 113) [39]. These mobile data systems are primarily intended for supporting true mobility and high bit-rate is secondary. With the growth of more flexible and cost effective internet accesses some companies have started to offer proprietary wireless internet access networks. These systems may not be fully compliant with any recognised standard.

4.3 HIPERACCESS - market positioning
Reviewing the access technologies described above, a number of conclusions may be drawn. - VDSL and cable modem systems are applicable by operators wishing to upgrade existing wired networks (copper pair or coaxial systems respectively). They are able to support a bit rate of 25 Mbit/s to the user but generally a significantly lower upstream bandwidth. Both technologies would require a new operator to install new physical cable plant at considerable expense. Passive optical networks can be extended direct to the customer and in principle can deliver significantly larger bandwidth, but again requires installing new physical cable plant. Mains communications can be overlaid on existing power wiring but performance is restricted. - The "TM4-type" broadband P-MP technologies are primarily designed for providing radio distribution of n x 2 Mbit/s circuits to businesses, and the needs of low-cost high-volume manufacture for residential and small business applications have not been considered in the design. Many of the actual systems covered by these coexistence standards are explicitly designed to support circuit-mode transmission at some multiple of 64 kbit/s (although some more recent systems are being designed for ATM access). TM4 standards do not specify any radio parameters other than those needed for radio coexistence. - MMDS and LMDS systems are primarily designed for video distribution and assume that the bandwidth requirements will be quite asymmetric between up-stream and down-stream - viewers want to choose from a wide selection of channels but the associated upstream traffic bandwidth is small. More recent developments, particularly in the DAVIC and DVB fora, are generalising the types of information which can be distributed but the asymmetry remains - such systems are at best likely to provide service bandwidths similar to HDSL and cable modems. TR 101 177 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 18 - Satellite systems are widely used today to broadcast video and these systems are being updated for digital transmission including distribution of IP with limited bandwidth particularly upstream, based again on the DAVIC type models. There are also developments of two-way satellite access systems focusing on very-wide-area mobility. In general whilst satellite systems can support high peak bandwidth to a single user they are unlikely to be able to compete with wired broadband systems such as VDSL or cable modems for serving high user densities. - There are a wide range of radio standards and systems developed and deployed which specifically provide packet access. These range from traditional "mobile data" systems to newer systems specifically designed for internet access at higher speeds. None of these approach the performance of wired broadband access systems. Against this background, HIPERACCESS is conceived to compete directly with HDSL and cable modems. It will provide a high peak bandwidth to a fixed user; support high bandwidth communications equally to and from the user; and be viable for mass market applications with reasonably high user densities.

4.4 Target network economics
HIPERACCESS networks will be attractive to operators (compared to deploying wired systems) for mainly economic reasons, which include the following: - A radio access system can provide coverage of potential residential and small business customers at relatively low cost. Thus the cost of market entry is reduced compared to a cable network which has to pass each customer to which service is to be offered before any service can be marketed. Alternatively, radio can be deployed to target economically-attractive customers. - For a radio access system, a high proportion of the investment in a mature system can be in the radio terminations on customer premises. This part of the investment is essentially proportional to customer numbers. Thus investment in a radio network can be very incremental. In contrast, the total investment in a cabled network is almost independent of the proportion of "passed" customers taking the service. - Radio networks may be rolled out quickly, allowing the operator to introduce service earlier and therefore to generate a revenue stream more quickly to offset fixed operational costs. - Radio systems are not subject to disturbance by civil works which results in high on-going repair costs for a cabled network. (However there are environmental effects on radio, from new building work and foliage growth for example, which have an analogous, but much smaller, effect). - Radio systems may be used in order to provide service to customers sited in areas which are difficult to serve by other means. It is worth noting that HIPERACCESS networks will be most useful to operators who do not have a wired network which they could upgrade with xDSL or Cable Modems. If such a network exists, then some of its economic characteristics (incremental investment with growth of customer demand) are similar to those of radio access. Thus a reasonable reference point for the target cost for a HIPERACCESS system would be the "cost per home passed" and "incremental connection cost" for these upgrade technologies.

4.5 Working definition of HIPERACCESS
For the purposes of the present document a HIPERACCESS system is defined with reference to the simplified reference model in figure 1. TE AT TE TE APT APT APC Core Network UNI Air interface SNI Key: TE Terminal Equipment AT Access Termination AP Access Point APT Access Point Transceiver APC Access Point Controller UNI User-Network Interface SNI Service Node Interface IWF Interworking Function AP IWF IWF AT IWF Figure 1: Simplified HIPERACCESS reference model HIPERACCESS is a radio access system which may be deployed to connect User-Network Interfaces (UNIs) located in and physically fixed to customer premises. to a Service Node Interface (SNI) of a broadband core network, characterized as follows: - The target users are residential households, or typical Small-to-Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs). - The radio system will be capable of providing users with a peak one-way (up-link or down-link) information rate of at least 25 Mbit/s at the UNI, accessed using appropriate standardized packet protocols such as ATM or IP. - HIPERACCESS systems must support both symmetric and asymmetric data flows, which may be duplex or simplex. A duplex symmetric flow could be one or several (from for example a Private Automatic Branch eXchange (PABX)) 64 kbit/s circuits carrying telephone calls, or circuit-mode videoconference connections. A simplex symmetric flow could be the download and upload of files. A simplex asymmetric flow could be downloading a Web page or a video sequence. - It is assumed that the system will use multiple access to the radio bandwidth in order to optimize the efficiency with which multiple "bursty" users utilize spectrum. - The radio system must also efficiently support legacy services, specifically POTS and ISDN (possibly over the native ATM or IP network service in a standardized way). - Systems may be deployed by PTOs who provide network services to the public, or private operators who use the network for their own purposes. PTOs require their own licensed spectrum to ensure they can give QoS guarantees. Private operators may deploy the system in licence-exempt bands. - It follows that the HIPERACCESS standard must be capable of operating in a number of designated frequency bands over a wide range, probably from 3 GHz to 60 GHz. The service delivered may be compromised by the amount of bandwidth available at any given operating frequency. TR 101 177 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 20

4.6 Multiple access, statistical multiplexing
A HIPERACCESS radio access system creates a pool of bandwidth within a radio coverage area. This bandwidth is shared between all of the subscribed users present. In principle, all of the bandwidth may be used by one user, or shared according to some multiple access scheme amongst all of the users demanding bandwidth. In fact, the uplink and downlink directions for each user may demand bandwidth separately up to their individual or combined limits, if any. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Downlink 1 1 1 1 Uplink 1 2 3 2 2 2 2 3 3 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 4 4 3 Figure 4.2: Outline of statistical multiplexing Figure 4.2 shows an outline of statistical multiplexing in operation. Two radio carriers are represented, a continuous modulated downlink from a single AP and a "bursty" uplink from several AT. The scenario shown includes several types of interaction. 1) The up- and down-link bursts labelled 1 are from a termination involved in a single isochronous 64 kbit/s duplex call. It transmits regular short data bursts on the uplink and receives corresponding short segments (cf. "timeslots") in the downlink. This mode is equivalent to conventional TDM/TDMA. 2) The downlink bursts labelled 2 are a single 2 Mbit/s MPEG encoded video stream. Since this is a simplex service there is no corresponding uplink data. 3) The irregular downlink bursts labelled 3 are World Wide Web (WWW) page data being downloaded to a terminal running a web browser. The uplink bursts labelled 3 would typically be mouse pointer data or Transport Control Protocol (TCP) acknowledgements. 4) The long uplink burst 4 is a long data segment from a web server connected via HIPERACCESS, segmented to allow for the short segments of isochronous data 1. Fundamental to the operation of the scheme is the fact that an application which only needs low average bit-rate nevertheless uses the maximum available bit-rate while it has access to the channel. The higher the channel bit-rate the more efficient statistical multiplexing becomes. Not evident in the scenario is that the different types of data have different priorities. Thus the speech and video information is inherently being used by applications that assume that new data is available continuously and isochronously, and therefore the system must not introduce varying delays. However, the web data is not time critical and can be delayed and if necessary queued either in the AP or AT while the air interface is busy. By these means the air interface mixes the different data streams together and can, if well designed, achieve high utilization and give all the users acceptable quality of service for their applications. It might be inferred from the diagram that frequency-division duplexing (Frequency-Division Duplexing (FDD)) is mandatory. The picture shows the uplink and downlink flows as separate, but they could be duplexed in frequency or time (Time Division Duplex (TDD)). If FDD is used some bandwidth may be "wasted" if the aggregate flow bandwidths uplink and downlink are different; TDD enables a given radio bandwidth to be shared flexibly between uplink and downlink. TR 101 177 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 21 The scenario shown obviously uses time-division to allow data from different users to be multiplexed on the air. However, in a radio system obviously other multiplexing domains may be exploited as well: conventionally frequency, code, and space. However it is obvious that the fundamental possibility of statistical multiplexing arises because of the stochastic nature of at least some of the signals with respect to time and therefore these other multiplexing domains are likely to be ancillary. They should however be considered: for example spread-spectrum multiplexing might be used in the "up" direction to "soften" multiple-access contention, whilst frequency division could be used to decrease co-channel interference between neighbouring service areas.
