4 Countries applying (pr)TBR 21
A number of countries have already implemented national regimes based upon (pr)TBR 21. This number is increasing. However inconsistencies in application have arisen, in particular, because of the ambiguities over the definitions of "voice equipment" and of the extent of the justified case service of voice telephony covered by Article 4(g) of Directive 91/263/EEC. Also, where requirements in (pr)TBR 21 have arisen primarily from the needs of a single network, or a small number of networks, certain requirements have not always been applied mandatorily (e.g. the d.c. characteristic requirements relating to the 60mA limit and operation at very low line currents). These relaxations have been applied so as to avoid unnecessary demands on TE not intended to be used on the networks in question. In a few cases, it would be useful to investigate the future need for retaining such requirements in the common text. In the case of operation at very low line currents, proposals for relaxations in the requirements have already been tabled in the course of work on prTBR 37 and prTBR 38. There are examples of requirements being introduced that are more onerous than (pr)TBR 21. Where such requirements have not been pressed for incorporation in (pr)TBR 21 it is assumed that they will disappear once TBR 21 comes formally into use. Although not covered by the Scope of TBR 21, several countries have included coverage of loop disconnect dialling. In one case this consists of including the use of loop disconnect dialling within the approval granted but stating specifically that there are NO mandatory requirements to be met. Some countries have taken the opportunity to use (pr)TBR 21 as the basis for type approval of all PSTN TE, including TE covered by Article 4(g) of Directive 91/263/EEC. ETSI TR 101 150 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 7 In some countries, older, national, standards have been retained in whole or in part to serve as voluntary design guides. These can assist manufacturers in dealing with parameters relating to network behaviour which it is useful to take account of in designing TE for best performance, even though these parameters may be outside the scope of the essential requirements of Directive 91/263/EEC and consequently outside of the scope of TBR 21. There could be merit in collecting such useful, network specific, advice and making its existence more visible. Where regimes based upon (pr)TBR 21 have been introduced, practical experience has shown that they are very popular with TE manufacturers who generally prefer them to previous systems. There is no evidence of significant problems arising from the application of (pr)TBR 21 in this fashion, from either the TE manufacturers, the network operators, or the notified bodies. However, it should be noted that most countries implementing these regimes have disapplied some of the requirements contained in (pr)TBR 21, in particular, the 60 mA line current limit and the extreme low line current requirements which can cause difficulties for terminal designers. Some information on such schemes is given below.

5 Scope interpretation issues
Although the scope of TBR 21 covers voice equipment except that covered by the justified case service of voice telephony referenced by Article 4(g) of Directive 91/263/EEC, inconsistencies have arisen because of the ambiguities over the definitions of "voice equipment" and of the extent of the of the justified case service of voice telephony covered by Article 4(g) of Directive 91/263/EEC, and because of the overlap of the Scopes of TBR 21 and TBR 37. The scope of TBR 38 describes the voice telephony justified case service, when applied to analogue PSTN non-cordless TE, as applying only to TEs supporting a handset telephony function without any further features (but not applicable to TE specially designed for the disabled or for hostile environments, cordless telephones, handsfree or loudspeaking voice telephony functions, or handset telephony functions employing non-linear or time variant techniques for the processing of the signal) In the case of cordless telephony, DECT, covered by TBR 10 is defined as a voice telephony justified case application. From the above it could be concluded that every TE intended to be connected to the analogue PSTN, excluding TE within the scope of TBR 10 or TBR 38, could be considered within the scope of TBR 21. This includes: a) handset telephones employing non-linear or time variant techniques for the processing of the signal; b) telephones specially designed for disabled people; c) TE providing a handsfree or loudspeaking voice telephony function; d) answering machines; e) voice-mail systems; f) through connecting TE (including PABX). The fact that the scope of TBR 37 includes "any voice telephony service" causes confusion because it makes it possible to consider most of the above examples as within the scope of both TBR 21 and TBR 37. As a result, some countries have been hesitant to apply (pr)TBR 21 to "voice equipment" which appears to fall within the scope of both TBRs. To avoid such confusion it seems essential that action should be taken to converge the applicability of TBR 21 and TBR 37 into a single access TBR for all analogue PSTN applications (e.g. in a future edition of TBR 21 by implementing the extension referred to in subclause 6.1). It seems most likely that any "scope matching" exercises would be very long and unsuccessful and would still result in disputes about what was or was not covered by each TBR. However, the interpretation of the Scopes of TBRs is a matter for ACTE/TRAC and cannot be determined by ETSI. ETSI TR 101 150 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 9 NOTE: Although TBR 21 does not explicitly specify the detail of test methods for the all types of TE mentioned above, studies carried out in connection with TBR 37 (e.g. TR 101 149) have resulted in detailed definitions of test methods suitable for such applications. An example of the technical contents of a possible ATAAB Advisory Note based upon these methods, and which could enhance the reproducibility of test results obtained against (pr)TBR 21, is given in annex A.

6 Possible extensions of the application of TBR 21
In this clause a number of possible extensions of the application of TBR 21 are presented. However, it is noted that the implementation of such possibilities by means of a change to the scope of TBR 21 would need a formal EU mandate and would be likely to be time consuming. Examples are provided of possible extensions that would extend the single market to be created by TBR/CTR 21 to a much larger range of TE, by creating harmonized specifications for the most common PSTN features not currently covered by TBR/CTR 21 and therefore still subject to national regulations. Such harmonized specifications could be used even in the absence of a revised TBR/CTR 21, e.g. at a national level. It also covers the suggestion to combine, into a single TBR, all applicable analogue PSTN access requirements.

6.1 Voice telephony justified case TE
In the light of the problems highlighted in clause 5 of the present document, and taking into account the technical content of the present prTBR 37, it seems a straightforward task to extend the application of TBR 21 to support voice telephony justified case service TEs covered by TBR 38. Apart from the level of testing detail contained in prTBR 37, there are minimal technical differences between it and TBR 21.

101 150
6.2 Loop Disconnect dialling function
Loop disconnect dialling, although a decreasingly important signalling method, is still employed on a significant number of lines. Whilst on some networks 100% of customers have access to DTMF dialling, on others a high proportion of customers still have to use loop disconnect. It is recognized that major differences in the TE requirements specified by different countries have impeded achieving a harmonized solution for this market segment. However, it is a fact that the differences in the technical characteristics of the TEs themselves that meet all of these differently stated requirements are relatively minor. Also, with modernization of the network switching equipment some of the strict parameters required for interworking with electro-mechanical switches are no longer important on many networks. It could therefore now be possible to produce a simple specification for TEs which contained either no country variations or contained very few, enabling customers without access to DTMF dialling to enjoy the full benefit of the market in TBR 21 terminals, either by eliminating the need for additional national approvals of the loop disconnect dialling function, or by providing a common specification which could be used at a national level.

101 150
6.3 Multi-line TE
Although the decreasing price of ISDN TE brought about by technology and the availability of harmonized standards has resulted in a reduction of the analogue PSTN market share of some types multi-line TE, the harmonization of analogue PSTN access requirements could be of particular benefit in the market place for consumers and small businesses. It should be noted that the current scope does not exclude TE with multiple PSTN line connections per se. However, there could physical or functional issues to be addressed in respect or certain types of application. Such an extension might introduce additional or changed requirements, e.g. the method of connection to line. ETSI TR 101 150 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 10

6.4 Series/parallel connection
Currently the scope of TBR 21 is restricted to the case of a PTSN line with a single TE attached to it. The connection of a number of TE to a single line, in series or parallel combination has become very common. ETSI has published EG 201 120 [7] on this subject which explains how such connections could be achieved. There needs to be a formalized method of using the Guide in conjunction with TBR/CTR 21.

7 Impact upon non-PSTN TE
The most direct implication of the findings of the present document in other areas is the possible application of some of its conclusions to voice equipment TE within the scope of TBR 15 and TBR 17. Since analogue leased line TEs are, technically, closely related to analogue PSTN TEs, and sometimes the same, there is clear merit in the test methods having a high degree of commonality with TBR 21. In particular, the proposals for additional testing detail in respect of voice terminals could be usefully employed in conjunction with these TBRs.

8 Conclusions
da2fb3a80bb7b62b0e043abd45fd7925
101 150
8.1 TBR 21/37 scope issues
The current overlap between the Scopes of TBR 21 and TBR 37, where voice TEs NOT providing services subject to Article 4(g) of Directive 91/263/EEC appear to be within the Scope of both Directives simultaneously, could cause significant problems were the both TBRs to coexist. It could prove very difficult successfully to eliminate the overlap between the Scopes of TBR 21 and TBR 37. It would almost certainly be simpler to remove the exclusion in respect of Article 4(g) telephony terminals that currently exists in TBR 21, and to incorporate whatever other changes to the text of TBR 21 might be essential in order to address the extended range of equipment to be covered, so as to bring all type of analogue PSTN TE under a single access TBR. Some European countries have already introduced national regulations based upon (pr)TBR 21 which cover voice terminals, including those subject to Article 4(g) of Directive 91/263/EEC. This supports the view that a single access standard is a practical and desirable proposition.

101 150
8.2 Introduction of TBR 38
TE manufacturers, in particular, would like an early opportunity to exploit TBR 38 without being forced to submit their equipment to additional national specific approval. Considering the long timeframe for the possible adoption of a TBR 37, there should be a mechanism for exploiting TBR 38 in conjunction with other access requirements, e.g. those in TBR 21, supplemented as necessary by additional testing detail.

8.3 Progression of prTBR 37
Until the issues referred to in 8.1 have been addressed it is premature to consider releasing prTBR 37 for public enquiry.
da2fb3a80bb7b62b0e043abd45fd7925
101 150
8.4 Testing detail
TBR 21 does contain requirements relating to all the access requirements specified in prTBR 37. However, TBR 21 (in common with other analogue access TBRs such as TBR 15 and TBR 17) does not provide the detail of testing methods for voice equipment, but leaves this to the expertise of the accredited laboratories. It would be useful to provide additional guidance on testing methods for voice equipment to aid reproducibility. prTBR 37 contains text which appears to be suitable for this purpose. This text could potentially be made available for use with TBR 21, e.g. via ATAAB ANs. ETSI TR 101 150 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 11

8.5.1 Loop disconnect dialling
It would be useful and it should be possible to produce harmonized requirements and tests for loop disconnect dialling which could be used to supplement TBR 21 for the national purposes. It could be useful to incorporate in the future harmonized requirements relating to loop disconnect dialling in a future edition of TBR 21, although this would necessitate a change in its scope.

8.5.2 Multi-line TE
It would be useful to investigate whether any additional requirements are essential for the application of TBR 21 to any multi-line facility which might not fall under the present scope of TBR 21, and for requirements so identified to be available in a harmonized form to aid their application for national purposes or to support any extension to the applicability of TBR 21 which might be agreed in the future.

It could improve the effectiveness of the use of TBR 15 and TBR 17 for voice equipment if the test details suggested to be employed for TBR 21 were also available for use with these TBRs. A possible mechanism for achieving this might be by means of ATAAB ANs. 8.7 New activities required to implement the conclusions of the present document The following activities would be required to implement the conclusions of the present document: a) addition of detailed guidance on test methods to be used when applying TBR 21 to voice terminals; b) possible extension to TBR 21 scope to cover Article 4(g) voice telephony terminals; c) possible extension to TBR 21 scope, or TBR 21 add-on, to cover Loop Disconnect dialling; d) possible extension to TBR 21 scope, or TBR 21 add-on, to cover certain Multi-Line facilities; e) possible extension to TBR 21 scope, or TBR 21 add-on, to cover series/parallel connection; f) addition of detailed guidance on test methods to be used when applying TBR 15 and TBR 17 to voice terminals. ETSI TR 101 150 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 12 Annex A: Possible additional test detail for voice TE This annex contains examples of relevant test methods derived from existing ATA documents, including TBR 37, that provide additional details to support testing of voice equipment against access requirements, e.g. TBR 21. A.1 Introduction There is a risk that Voice Terminal Equipment to be approved to TBR 21 could yield different test results from test house to test house if some more detailed guidance is not provided in respect of certain tests. This annex specifies additional test method details which, if used, should minimize this risk. The present document is based on technical studies being carried out by ETSI project ATA. The present annex contains examples of relevant test methods taken from existing ATA documents, including prTBR 37, that provide additional details to support testing of voice equipment against the access requirements of TBR 21. A.2 Normative references [1] TBR 21: "Attachment requirements for pan-European approval for connection to the analogue Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTNs) of TE (excluding TE supporting the voice telephony service) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) signalling". A.3 Voice signal to be used during tests A.3.1 Type Pink noise: for the purpose of the present document the pink noise test signal, adjusted at the relevant Reference Point, shall be band limited to the frequency range 200 Hz to 3 800 Hz. There are two recommended methods of achieving this, the choice of which depends upon the filtering technique used. a) Where analogue filters are used the slopes of the band limiting filter shall be at least 24 dB/ octave and the out- of-band attenuation shall be at least 25 dB (see figure 1). The third octave spectrum of electrically generated pink noise shall be equalized to within ± 1 dB, while acoustically generated pink noise shall be equalized (in free field) to within ± 3 dB. NOTE 1: When measured with 1/3 octave bandwidth at standard frequencies, an ideal filtered pink noise signal will be attenuated 1,1 dB at 200 Hz and 0,9 dB at 4 kHz compared to a non-filtered pink noise signal.

Speech test signal: this shall be band-limited pink noise (see definition above) that is continuously modulated to be ON for a period of 250 ms ± 5 ms and OFF for a period of 150 ms ± 5 ms. The signal level specified refers to the level of the signal during the ON period. Pseudo speech signal: this shall be a speech test signal (see definition above) with 11 cycles and then followed by a period of 5,6 seconds ± 20 ms OFF giving an activity ratio of approximately 28 %. NOTE 2: The total OFF time after the 11th ON burst will be 5,75 seconds. NOTE 3: The timing tolerances given above will result in a tolerance for the r.m.s. level of ± 0,1 dB. This pseudo speech signal is repeated for as long as is necessary for any measurements to be made. Where the Supplier declares that the pseudo speech signal is not appropriate for the intended use of the TE, an alternative test signal may be specified by the Supplier providing that the overall activity ratio during a one minute period shall be within the range of 23 % to 33 %. Any alternative signal shall be adjusted to give the same r.m.s. level over a one minute period as the level for the pseudo speech signal.

Where a supplier has declared that the ITU MRP would be inappropriate for the intended use of the TE, then the microphone positioning described by the supplier shall be applied. A.4.2 Hands-free Hands-Free Reference Point (HFRP): a point located on the axis of the artificial mouth, at 50 cm from the lip ring, where the level calibration is made in free field. It corresponds to the measurement point n° 11, as defined in ITU-T Recommendation P.51. A.4.3 Headset For headsets the same measuring methods apply as for handsets. If the microphone positioning for testing is not defined by the manufacturer, it will correspond to the "corner of the mouth" position as defined in the ITU-T Recommendation P.38, clause 1, note. A.4.4 Other interfaces TE with other transducers arrangements will be tested in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. A.5 Electrical interfaces simulations A.5.1 Analogue 2-wire NTP (Network Termination Points) The analogue 2-wire NTP simulation is the one used for the tests in TBR 21. A.5.2 Analogue 2-wire TCP (TCP of TE behind TCE) The analogue 2-wire TCP simulation is derived from TBR 21. For test purposes it will have an equivalent d.c.-resistance of 400 Ω and an impedance of Zref as defined in TBR 21 (270 Ω + [750 Ω // 150 nF]). A.5.3 Other harmonized interfaces Should be simulated according the corresponding standards. A.5.4 Non harmonized interfaces Should be simulated according the manufacturers instructions.

4.1 Mean sending level
The mean sending level is currently limited to -9,7 dBV. This limit shall not be exceeded when exciting the handset microphone with the pseudo speech signal set at the nominal level which is considered to be -4,7 dB Pa at the MRP. In order to assess the coherence of this requirement with the requirements of TBR 38 [6], reference can be made to the existing literature on telephone speech levels, and in particular to ITU-T Recommendation G.115 [1]. In this Recommendation the relationship between the output active speech level (L) and the SLR of a telephone set is provided: L (dBm) = -11 -SLR The application of this relationship to a TBR 38 [6] conforming telephone set gives the nominal output level of a telephone set having the maximum allowed sensitivity (SLR = -1 dB): Lmax = -11 - (-1) = -10 dBm = -12,2 dBV ETSI TR 101 149 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 8 In other words, by exciting a top limited TBR 38 [6] compliant telephone set at the nominal speech level (-4,7 dBPa), the generated active speech level is equal to -12,2 dBV. The excitation condition specified in prTBR 37 [5] is however not at the nominal active speech level, as the mean acoustic level of the pseudo speech signal is 5,6 dB less than the ON level of the signal (-4,7 dBPa). The expected output mean sending level is then: Lout = -12,2 -5,6 = -17,8 dBV NOTE: This desirable value is actually far below the specified limit (-9,7 dBV). While this discrepancy has no adverse consequences for: • ordinary linear handset where, being them considered a justified case, the output level specification is practically overruled by the SLR requirement of TBR 38 [6]; or • handsfree telephones, where producers normally follow handset telephony technical rules, it can result into too loud output signals where the speech output is electronically synthesized, depends on non-linear systems or is derived from electric or digital inputs of any kind.

4.2 Instantaneous voltage 8 Vpp requirement (prTBR 37)
It is known (see ETR 250 [2]) that the standard deviation σ of the active speech level is equal to 5 dB (2σ = 10 dB). Besides, the peak factor of speech is of the order of 20 dB, but the signal can be clipped down to 12 dB with no practical prejudice for its perceived quality or loudness. A TBR 38 [6] maximum efficiency compliant terminal (SLR = -1 dB), when stimulated with a signal 10 dB stronger than the nominal level of -4,7 dBPa, is then expected to generate a maximum output active speech level of: Lmax = -12,2 + 10 = -2,2 dBV Its practical peak value is then: Lpeak = -2,2 + 12 = 9,8 dBV i.e.: Vpeak = 3 V or: Vp-p = 6 V This requirement compares well with the 8 Vp-p requirement of prTBR 37 [5]. The same TBR 38 [6] maximum efficiency compliant terminal (SLR = -1 dB), when tested with a 10 dBPa signal as specified by prTBR 37 [5] (14,7 dB stronger then the nominal level of -4,7 dBPa), is actually expected to generate a maximum output speech level of: Lmax = -12,2 + 14,7 = +2,5 dBV (ON periods of the output signal) Being the peak factor of the pink noise on which the pseudo speech signal (prTBR 37 [5] signal) is based (approximately 11 dB) the (theoretical) output peak value is then: Lpeak = 2,5 +11 = 13,5 dBV i.e.: Vpeak = 4,84 V or: Vp-p = 9,7 V The 8 V requirement of prTBR 37 [5] is then adequately tested by the test method there provided.

101 149
4.3 Instantaneous voltage 5 Vpp (TBRs 21 and 37)
This requirement is tested in prTBR 37 [5] with a 0 dBPa simulation. A TBR 38 [6] maximum efficiency compliant terminal (SLR = -1 dB), when stimulated with an 0 dBPa signal (4,7 dB stronger then the nominal level of -4,7 dBPa), is then expected to generate a maximum output speech level of: Lmax = -12,2 + 4,7 = -7,5 dBV (ON periods of the output signal) Being the crest factor of the pink noise on which the pseudo speech signal (prTBR 37 [5] signal) is based (approximately 11 dB) the expected peak value is then: Lpeak = -7,5 + 11 = 3,5 dBV i.e.: Vpeak = 1,5 Vp or: Vp-p = 3 Vpp Apparently this test has no particular interest, as a test with a 10 dBPa excitation is required (8 Vpp requirement). It seems nevertheless reasonable to perform this test because it corresponds to a more common simulation (users are not expected to produce 10 dBPa voice signals, it should therefore not be considered a normal use or very much on the limit of it) and a set being saturated in the 10 dBPa operating point might not be saturated in the 0 dBPa operating point, where unwanted peaks from spurious effects or too high efficiency might however occur.

4.4 Conclusions
TE complying with TBR 38 [6] and considering the adopted prTBR 37 [5] measurement methodology: 1) Implicitly fulfil the mean sending level specified with a margin of 8 dB (-17,7 dBV expected, -9,7 dBV required). 2) Can be adequately tested with respect to the 8 Vpp requirement by the prTBR 37 [5] methodology. Besides: 3) The test of the 5 Vpp limitation with an 0 dBPa acoustic excitation ensures additionally that no harm occurs to the network.

5 TE without acoustic transducers
Three classes of devices can be considered: 1) Devices electronically generating a speech signal, i.e. synthesizers (e.g. answering machines, E-Mail-telephony integration). 2) Devices delivering to line speech signals received from digital or analogue public network lines. 3) Devices delivering to line speech signals received from digital or analogue ICP interfaces. In all the above cases a speech signal is transmitted to line, but no acoustic excitation is locally implied for its generation. Of course all these cases shall be individually addressed in order to make sure that under no circumstances harm is caused to the network by the generated signals. In this clause, for each class of devices, suitable input signal levels are defined for testing the output level limitations by means of the pseudo speech signal (where applicable).

5.1 Synthesizers
This kind of TE does not need external voice stimuli. This case is covered by ITU-T Recommendation G115 [1], where it is recommended that the levels of signals electronically generated shall be harmonized with the level of speech signals generated by telephone sets in actual use in a given network.

5.1.1 Mean sending level
If reference is made to TBR 38 [6] maxmum efficiency (SLR = -1 dB), then the Active Speech Level generated to the network shall not exceed -12,2 dBV (-11 + 1 -2,2), this level being measured as recommended by P.56, Method B of ITU-T Recommendation P.56 [3]. Any optimized application is then guaranteed to meet the -9,7 dBV requirement (referred to the speech mean level, integrated across a 10 sec time interval). A suitable advise should however be provided to manufacturers about the optimum setting of the output level.

5.1.2 Instantaneous voltage 5 Vpp (TBR 21)
This kind of TE normally produce signals with a limited dynamic range. The 8 Vpp peak limitation requirement seems clearly overrated with respect to this TE. The requirement can be kept for guaranteeing the network protection against the occurrence of any spurious high level peaks.

5.1.3 Conclusions
The requirements and measurement methods specified in TBR 21 [4] should normally be enough for such TEs. It seems nevertheless appropriate to provide suitable advice to manufacturers about the optimum setting of the output active speech level (-16,2 dBV). 5.2 Signals received from digital or analogue public network lines

5.2.1 Mean sending level
In this case, the excitation is either electrical or digital from the telephone line TCP interface. The nominal excitation level is that expected when the signal is delivered by a calling telephone set complying with TBR 38 [6] (SLR = 3 dB). What matters in particular is the SLR of the telephone set, inclusive of the network, up to the input port of the remote terminal. Assuming an average 13 dB end-to-end network attenuation, then the resulting SLR is: Typical SLR = 3 + 13 = 16 dB The input average active speech level received under nominal conditions is then: Typical Lin = -11 -16 -2,2 = -29,2 dBV NOTE 1: The input average active speech level is measured according to ITU-T Recommendation P.56 [3], method B. It is recognized that the actual input level can exceed by about 10 dB the above calculated value in case of very short distance calls. In fact, assuming extreme worst case situations (TBR 38 [6] SLR = -1 and a "no-line" minimal end-to-end network attenuation of 8 dB), the resulting SLR is: Extreme SLR = -1 + 8 = 7 dB And, under these conditions, the input active speech level is: Extreme Lin = -11 -7 -2,2 = -20,2 dBV NOTE 2: This value is very close to the one used to measure RLR according to ITU-T recommendations (-12 dBVe.m.f). It is nevertheless to note that the pink noise on which the pseudo speech signal is based has a crest factor of approximately 11 dB (peaks are expected at -3 dBVe.m.f) while sinusoidal signals are normally used by ITU-T tests (peaks are expected at -9 dBVe.m.f). ETSI TR 101 149 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 11 The mean sending level requirement can, according to the above discussion, be tested by applying an active speech level of -14 dBVe.m.f for analogue TCPs. For digital TCPs similar calculations could be done and a -14,5 dBm0 level (-11 -3,5) corresponds to the condition described above for analogue interfaces. NOTE 3: 3,5 dB is the maximum sensitivity allowed for ISDN telephone sets (see TBR 8 [9]).

5.2.2 Instantaneous voltage 8 Vpp (prTBR 37)
To follow the test principles adopted for the acoustic excitation of transducers, the instantaneous voltage requirement 8 Vpp should be tested with an input signal 15 dB stronger then the one used for testing the mean sending level requirement, i.e. +1 dBVe.m.f (active speech level). NOTE: This signal is expected to produce peaks of 1 dBVe.m.f + 2 +5 dB = 8 dBVp (5 dB = -6 dB for e.m.f to a-b conversion + 11 dB for the dynamic properties of the pink noise on which the pseudo speech signal is based) i.e. 2,5 Vp or 5 Vpp. For digital NTPs a 0,5 dBm0 active speech level (-14,5 + 15) shall be used.

5.2.3 Instantaneous voltage 5 Vpp (TBRs 21 and 37)
To follow the test principles adopted for acoustic excitation of transducers, the instantaneous voltage requirement 5 Vpp should be tested with an input signal 5 dB stronger then the nominal active speech level, i.e. -9 dBVe.m.f (active speech level). NOTE: This signal is expected to produce peaks of -7 dBVe.m.f + 5 dB = -2 dBVp i.e. 0,8 Vp or 1,6 Vpp. For digital TCPs a -9,5 dBm0 active speech level shall be used.

5.2.4 Conclusions
A pseudo speech signal can be used for the purposes of testing the kind of TE identified in this clause, provided that the active speech level presented at the TCP is: For the mean sending level requirement: For analogue interfaces -14 dBVe.m.f For digital interfaces -14,5 dBm0 For the 8 Vpp requirement: For analogue interfaces +1 dBVe.m.f For digital interfaces +0,5 dBm0 For the 5 Vpp requirement: For analogue interfaces -9 dBVe.m.f For digital interfaces -9,5 dBm0

5.3 Signals received from digital or analogue ICP interfaces
For digital interfaces, once there is normally no attenuation to be considered, the values suggested above for signals received from digital or analogue public network lines (subclause 5.2) should be considered as valid for this clause as well. NOTE: For terminal equipment (e.g. PBX) designed for connecting to their ICP interfaces telephone sets complying with proprietary (not harmonized) standards, the excitation levels are to be determined on the basis of a supplier declaration and according to the same criteria described in the present document.

5.3.1 Mean sending level
From the discussion presented in clause 4, it can be concluded that the maximum average active speech level generated by telephone sets complying with TBR 38 [6] (SLRmax = -1dB), when stimulated with the nominal acoustic input, is -12,2 dBV.

6 Final conclusions
The current requirement and test methods specified in prTBR 37 [5] can be applied to the whole range of voice terminal equipment by using the relevant knowledge of ITU recommendations on speech levels specification and measurement. The input active speech levels to be used for the different measurement scenarios are listed in the following. The assumption is made that the pseudo speech signal as specified in prTBR 37 [5] is used. For the reader’s convenience, both the active speech level and the setting level (i.e. the level of the ON periods of the signal) are given, the latter being reported within parentheses. As a reference for the reader, also the prTBR 37 [5] acoustic excitation levels are reported as well. The methodology here described to detail the test requirements in TBR 21 [4] for voice terminal equipment is also applicable in principle to the testing of voice terminals against TBR 15 [7] and TBR 17 [8] requirements. 6.1 Input signal level for the measurement of the mean sending level For analogue TCP: -14 dBVe.m.f (-12 dBVe.m.f ON) For digital interfaces (TCP or ICP or other): -14,5 dBm0 (-12,5 dBm0 ON) For analogue ICP: -6 dBVe.m.f (-4 dBVe.m.f ON) For the MRP of a handset or headset: -6,7 dBPa (-4,7 dBPa ON) For the HFRP of a handsfree TE: -30,7 dBPa (-28,7 dBPa ON) ETSI TR 101 149 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 14 6.2 Input signal level for the measurement of the Instantaneous voltage 8 Vpp requirement (prTBR 37, extreme loud signals) For analogue TCP: +1 dBVe.m.f (+3 dBVe.m.f ON) For digital interfaces (TCP or ICP or other): +0,5 dBm0 (+2,5 dBm0 ON) (see note) For analogue ICP: +9 dBVe.m.f (+11 dBVe.m.f ON) For the MRP of a handset or headset: +8 dBPa (+10 dBPa ON) For the HFRP of a handsfree TE: -16 dBPa (-14 dBPa ON) NOTE: This signal is known to saturate the dynamic range of the PCM coder and shall be set by increasing by 15 dB the level set for mean level testing. 6.3 Input signal level for the measurement of the Instantaneous voltage 5 Vpp requirement (TBRs 21 and 37, normal loud signals) For analogue TCP: -9 dBVe.m.f (-7 dBVe.m.f ON) For digital interfaces (TCP or ICP): -9,5 dBm0 (-7,5 dBm0 ON) For analogue ICP: -1 dBVe.m.f (+1 dBVe.m.f ON) For the MRP of a handset or headset: -2 dBPa (0 dBPa ON) For the HFRP of a handsfree TE: -26 dBPa (-24 dBPa ON) ETSI TR 101 149 V1.1.1 (1998-05) 15 History Document history V1.1.1 May 1998 Publication ISBN 2-7437-2195-2 Dépôt légal : Mai 1998

4 DECT services and applications
DECT is a general radio access technology for wireless telecommunications. It is a high capacity digital technology, for cell radii ranging from a few meters to several kilometres, depending on application and environment. It provides telephony quality voice services, and a broad range of data services, including Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and packet data over the Internet. It can be effectively implemented in a range from simple residential cordless telephones up to large systems providing a wide range of telecommunications services, including FWA (WLL). ETSI ETSI TR 101 178 V1.5.1 (2005-02) 20 Figure 1 gives a high level graphic overview of applications and features of DECT.

4.1 General access technology
DECT, as a general radio access technology, can be used by many different applications to connect to different telecommunication networks. ETSI ETSI TR 101 178 V1.5.1 (2005-02) 21 It is essential to see the implications of the difference between an access technology and mobile radio systems like NMT, TACS, AMPS, GSM or UMTS. In these mobile radio systems the whole network is part of the specification and a mobile unit can only access the unique network that is part of the mobile radio system. DECT as a general access technology provides a comprehensive set of protocols, which provide the flexibility to interwork between numerous different applications and networks, including UMTS and IP networks. Thus a local and/or public network is not part of the DECT specification. Figure 2 illustrates this. DECT FT DECT CI DECT PT ES DECT FP DECT PP Local and/or public network IWU Figure 2: The DECT Common Interface (CI) DECT covers, in principle, only the air interface between the DECT Fixed Part (FP) and Portable Part (PP). The Inter-Working Unit (IWU) between a network and the DECT Fixed radio Termination (FT) is network specific and is not part of the DECT CI specification. Similarly, the End System (ES), the application(s) in a DECT PP is also excluded. The IWU and end systems are only specified as regards general end-to-end compatibility requirements e.g. on speech transmission. The IWU and ES are also subject to general attachment requirements for the relevant public network, e.g. the PSTN/ISDN. NOTE: An ES depends on the application supported in a PP. For a speech telephony application the ES may be a microphone, speaker, keyboard and display. The ES could equally well be a serial computer port, a fax machine or whatever the application requires. For each specific network, local or global, the specific services and features of that network are made available via the DECT air interface to the users of DECT PPs/handsets. Except for cordless capability and mobility, DECT does not offer a specific service; it is transparent to the services provided by the connected network. Thus the DECT CI standard is, and has to be, a tool box with protocols and messages from which a selection is made to access any specific network, and to provide means for market success for simple residential systems as well as for much more complex systems e.g. office ISDN services. The detailed requirements that have governed the DECT standardization efforts are provided by the ETR 043 [90], "Common Interface (CI); Services and facilities requirements specification", where one requirement is flexibility for additions and evolutionary applications. The DECT CI standard has a layered structure and is contained in EN 300 175 parts 1 [1] to 8 [8], see clause 6.1. It contains a complete set of requirements, procedures and messages. The messages also contain codes that are reserved for evolutionary applications and proprietary extensions. The basic telephony speech quality offered by DECT is very high compared to other wireless systems. This is provided by application of the ITU-T Recommendation G.726 [106] 32 kbit/s ADPCM speech codec and other speech transmission characteristics defined in EN 300 175-8 [8]. The DECT authentication algorithm and the DECT encryption algorithm are not part of the CI standard, but are obtained from ETSI through a special legal procedure. The administration of global unique DECT identity codes for manufacturing, installation and public operation are also handled by ETSI. ETSI ETSI TR 101 178 V1.5.1 (2005-02) 22

4.2 Support of multiple applications
The DECT Instant or Continuous Dynamic Channel Selection provides effective coexistence of multiple applications on the common designated DECT frequency band. Furthermore different DECT applications can share the same resources: - the same PP; and/or - the same base station. 4.2.1 Co-existence of uncoordinated installations on a common frequency band The mandatory Instant Dynamic Channel Selection messages and procedures provide effective co-existence of uncoordinated private and public systems on the common designated DECT frequency band and avoid any need for traditional frequency planning. Each device has access to all channels (time/frequency combinations). When a connection is needed, the channel is selected, that at that instant and at that locality, is least interfered of all the common access channels. This avoids any need for traditional frequency planning, and greatly simplifies the installations. This procedure also provides higher and higher capacity by closer and closer Radio Fixed Parts (RFPs) installation, while maintaining a high radio link quality. Not needing to split the frequency resource between different services or users gives a very efficient use of the allocated spectrum. There is a large spectrum efficiency gain in sharing spectrum between applications and between operators. Much unique knowledge and experience is available in the DECT community on the subject of sharing spectrum between uncoordinated installations. To assist regulators, operators and manufacturers, information on this subject has been collected in TR 101 310 [101]. TR 101 310 [101] describes configurations for typical DECT applications and relevant mixes of these, including residential, office, public and RLL applications, and the traffic capacity is analysed, mainly by advanced simulations. These results are used together with relevant deployment scenarios to estimate spectrum requirements for reliable services, specifically for a public multi-operator licensing regime. Recommendations are given on conflict solving rules that conserves the high spectrum efficiency gain of shared spectrum while maintaining required control of the service quality of the own system. These recommendations regard synchronization, directional gain antennas, traffic limits per DECT Radio Fixed Part (RFP), use of Wireless Relay Stations (WRSs), different rules for private and public operators, and procedures needed for timely local adjustments where and when the local traffic increases.

4.2.2 Access to different systems by the same PP
Each DECT system, FP, has a broadcast globally unique Access Rights Identity (ARI). To each ARI are linked the available services, the related protocols and when required e.g. a cipher-key and/or authentication-key. For each service suitable protocols have been selected from the CI toolbox to efficiently provide these services. Similarly each DECT PP (handset) has one or more Portable Access Rights Keys (PARKs). One PARK relates to one FP or a group of FPs belonging to the same operator. To each PARK are linked the corresponding FP ARIs, related services and protocols, and when required e.g. a ciphering-key and/or authentication-key. Thus the same PP will have access to several different types of systems, if equipped with the relevant PARKs and associated protocols. Thus, it is basically not a common protocol for all systems that provide inter system roaming, but it is that the PP is equipped with access rights and related protocols to the wanted systems. A detailed description of the flexible and powerful DECT identity provisions are found in EN 300 175-6 [6].

101 178
4.2.3 Access to several applications through the same base station
DECT also provides the means for sharing base stations or systems between different operators or applications, e.g. hosting private user groups in a large public system, Providing public access through a privately owned system, or hosting public access to several service providers in one system owned by one of the service providers. The ARIs related to available additional accesses are broadcast as Secondary Access Rights Identities (SARIs) by a system, FP. ETSI ETSI TR 101 178 V1.5.1 (2005-02) 23

101 178
5.1.1 ETSI EP DECT
The DECT standardization has been carried out by the members of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). More specifically, the technical work has been carried out by the Technical Body ETSI Project DECT (EP DECT). EP DECT has defined several working groups which focus on special areas like CI, Data, Testing, etc. NOTE: Initially the ETSI Technical Body responsible for DECT standardization was the Radio Equipment and Systems Sub-Technical Committee No. 3 (STC RES-03). Following re-organization in ETSI along project-oriented lines the work of STC RES-03 had been transferred to EP DECT in October 1996. In the followings the DECT Technical Body in ETSI is referred to as EP DECT regardless whether the actual work has been carried out by STC RES-03. The membership of ETSI is open to manufacturers, operators, users and regulators of telecommunications systems.

5.1.2.1 ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards
Like all other electronic equipment sold in EU member states, DECT equipment is subject to the requirements of the EMC directive 89/336/EEC [103]. It is the responsibility of ETSI to produce the standards which define the actual EMC performance requirements for compliance to the directive. The Technical Committee for EMC and Radio Spectrum Matters (TC ERM) is responsible for writing all EMC standards. The relevant EMC standard for DECT equipment is EN 301 489-6 [145]. The ETS 300 329 [17], which initially contained the DECT EMC requirements, became obsolete when EN 301 489-6 [145] had been implemented throughout European countries in 2003. EN 301 489-6 [145] specifies the applicable test conditions, performance assessment and performance criteria for DECT equipment. Outside Europe other EMC standards may be applicable according to local regulations.

101 178
5.1.2.2 Network standardization related to DECT
DECT is designed as an access technology to many networks. The DECT standards specify protocols which allow the provision of the mobility. But DECT does not define how the networks behind a DECT FP keep track of the location of a PP or deliver an incoming call to the PP. There is work in various ETSI committees to introduce the necessary protocols to support mobility in different networks. ETSI and ECMA have produced standards that specify mobility support in private telecommunications networks, thereby providing the ability for users to roam between different company offices connected to a corporate network. 2G and 3G networks such as GSM and UMTS standardized in ETSI and the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), in which ETSI is a leading partner, already support mobility. The ETSI Telecoms & Internet converged Services & Protocols for Advanced Networks (TISPAN) project is looking in this issue in the area of fixed networks. There is therefore interest to re-use the mobility protocols of GSM/UMTS networks and [fixed] Next Generation Networks (NGN) in conjunction with the DECT air interface (these are DECT/GSM and DECT/UMTS interworking). The work of Special Mobile Group (SMG) in the past, and, the work of the 3GPP and TISPAN today therefore are of relevance to the DECT standardization. ETSI ETSI TR 101 178 V1.5.1 (2005-02) 24 ETSI Technical Committee Network Aspects (TC NA) and Technical Committee Signalling Protocols & Switching (TC SPS) have produced standards that specify mobility support in IN based networks thereby allowing users to roam across very wide areas of the public network. This work formed part of the ETSI Project Cordless Terminal Mobility (EP CTM). The CTM Project also included roaming between different networks (public-public and/or public-private).

101 178
5.1.3 Other bodies
In addition to ETSI several other bodies are involved in or related to the DECT standardization process. The Commission of the European Community provides support in developing the market for DECT equipment both in terms of legislation covering the allocation of the frequencies used by DECT (in conjunction with CEPT ERC), in supporting the regulatory environment for DECT products (through the ACTE committee), and financing of part of the standardization effort. CEPT has a membership of 45 European administrations. Its ECTRA committee is responsible for managing telecommunications matters; its ERC committee manages radio matters. The ERC plans and allocates spectrum for pan-European services and promotes measures to harmonize standards and regulatory requirements for these services. ACTE was the Approvals Committee for Terminal Equipment. It did consist of representatives of telecommunications regulators from all EC countries. ACTE was replaced under the new R&TTE Directive [134] by a committee which is called TCAM (Telecommunication Conformity Assessment and Market Surveillance Committee) composed of representatives of the Member States and chaired by a representative of the Commission. DTAAB (DECT Type Approval Advisory Board) was a sub-group of the Technical Regulations Application Committee (TRAC). It included representatives from test houses, operators, standardization bodies, type approval authorities, regulatory authorities and manufacturers. DTAAB considered the resolution of problems in a harmonized way relating to the DECT area. The common understanding was recorded in various Advisory Notes (ANs) which combine to define a set of advice on the best practice to be applied to regulatory type examination and approval of DECT terminal equipment. DTAAB was closed under the new R&TTE Directive [134]. There is a close co-operation between ITU and EP DECT regarding the standardization work for the International Mobile Telecommunications 2000 system (IMT-2000). ITU-R has included DECT as one of the five radio interfaces in the recommendation ITU-R Recommendation M.1457 [139] that contains the detailed specifications for the IMT-2000 radio interfaces. The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) and ETSI have signed a document exchange agreement. Under this agreement the TIA publishes the PWT standards, which are based in major part on the DECT standards, but changes have been made to conform to North American national regulations.

101 178
5.2 ETSI documents
There are several types of documents that have been produced by EP DECT: ETSI ENs (European Standards (telecommunications series)) The European Standards (telecommunication series) contain the detailed technical requirements and are published after a formal European wide review process (Public Enquiry and Vote). The set of DECT related European Standards consists of: - the basic DECT standards; - profiles; and - testing standards. The basic DECT standards specify a set of protocols, telecommunication services, interfaces and encoding rules. They are described in clause 6. The DECT profiles identify a consistent set of chosen options from one or more base specifications for a given application. Base specifications are mainly the basic DECT standards (especially DECT CI) but they may be also other profiles. Information on the currently existing profiles and their applications is given in clause 7. ETSI ETSI TR 101 178 V1.5.1 (2005-02) 25 Furthermore testing standards are specified which are described in clauses 8 and 9. NOTE 1: Following the re-organization of ETSI new deliverable types and procedures have been introduced. Prior to this change most of the DECT standards were published as ETSs; new editions of DECT ETSs (ETSI European Standards) are published as ENs. ETSI Technical Specification (TSs) TSs contain the detailed technical requirements and are published after the approval of the technical body thereby allowing for shorter time to market, validation and maintenance. The set of DECT related TSs currently consists of: - Profiles; and - testing standards. For new specifications and standards the preferred delivered type is TS, and the number of ENs will see a corresponding decrease. ETSI Technical Basis for Regulations (TBRs) and Harmonized Standards (H ENs) TBRs contain technical requirements and test methods for use in the corresponding Common Technical Regulations (CTRs), earlier used in Europe. Some TBRs have still value for conformance testing, but have no regulatory impact any longer in Europe. Some non-European countries may still have regulations related to DECT TBRs. The new regulatory standards for Europe are Harmonized Standards. The issue of regulatory requirements are covered in further detail in clause 10. ETSI Technical Reports (TRs and ETRs) Technical Reports contain information of a more general nature which provides useful background information on the standards. A summary of DECT Technical Reports is given in clause 11. NOTE 2: Following the re-organization of ETSI new deliverable types and procedures have been introduced. Prior to this change the DECT technical reports were published as ETRs; new editions of ETRs (ETSI Technical Reports) are published as TRs.

6.1.1 General
The base standard for DECT is the Common Interface (CI) EN 300 175 [1] to [8]. It defines the operation of the DECT air interface and contains details of all messages and procedures used in DECT equipment. Not all of the procedures described in EN 300 175 [1] to [8] are actually required in any particular application. EN 300 175 [1] to [8] do not specify which procedures are required in each particular application. To achieve interoperability of equipment other documents (profiles, see clause 7) are required to specify more specific requirements for each applications. The content of each part of EN 300 175 [1] to [8] is now described. ETSI ETSI TR 101 178 V1.5.1 (2005-02) 26 EN 300 175 Part 1: Overview [1] This is a general introduction to the other parts of EN 300 175 [1] to [8]. Among others, it contains a comprehensive list with definitions and abbreviations used by the DECT technology specification. EN 300 175 Part 2: Physical Layer (PHL) [2] The PHL layer describes the requirements of the radio parameters of the DECT system, e.g. the frequency of operation, the modulation method, the TDMA data transmission structure, power limits, spurious emission requirements, etc. Most of the requirements of this part of the base standard are applicable to all DECT products. EN 300 175 Part 3: Medium Access Control (MAC) layer [3] The MAC layer defines the procedures and protocols used to set-up transmission bearers across the air interface. EN 300 175 Part 4: Data Link Control (DLC) layer [4] The DLC layer is concerned with the provision of reliable data links to the Network layer. Its function can be compared to the ISDN layer 2 LAPD protocol. EN 300 175 Part 5: Network (NWK) layer [5] The NWK layer is the main signalling layer of the protocol stack, containing the functions for call control, mobility management, connection oriented service, connectionless message service and supplementary services. EN 300 175 Part 6: Identities and addressing [6] Each DECT equipment, whether Portable Part (PP) of Fixed Part (FP), requires to be programmed with various identities to enable PPs to access the appropriate networks and to route calls to the appropriate terminal. DECT has a very flexible identity structure, which is explained in part 6. EN 300 175 Part 7: Security features [7] The use of radio in telecommunications introduces several security issues, including, but not limited to, prevention of eavesdropping and fraudulent access to networks via impersonation of PT identities. The DECT security procedures are defined in part 7. EN 300 175 Part 8: Speech coding and transmission [8] Part 8 defines the telephony requirements for DECT systems used for the transmission of 3,1 kHz speech e.g. digital transmission levels, audio frequency masks, echo control/suppression requirements necessary to ensure interworking with public telecommunications networks.

6.1.2.1 The DECT 4-level/8-level/16-level/64-level modulation option
Initially the DECT base standard provided 2-level modulation option only. Driven by requirements for higher data rates backwards compatible 4-, 8-level, 16-level and 64-level modulation options were introduced, which provide up to 5 Mbit/s effective user data services via a single DECT radio as shown in table 1. Table 1: Available physical layer bit rates Levels Narrow bandwidth 2 1,152 Mbit/s 4 2,304 Mbit/s 8 3,456 Mbit/s 16 4,608 Mbit/s 64 6,912 Mbit/s ETSI ETSI TR 101 178 V1.5.1 (2005-02) 27 The 4-level modulation is π/4-DQPSK, the 8-level modulation π/8-D8PSK, the 16-level modulation 16-QAM and the 64-level modulation 64-QAM. The shaping filter shall be root-raised cosine with Ts = 1/1 152 000 s (Ts = symbol duration) and roll-off (α) = 0,5 for all types of modulation. π/2-DPSK may be generally used as 2-level modulation instead of the GFSK modulation. The higher level modulation schemes options increase the bit rate of single radio DECT equipment by a factor 2, 3, 4 or 6 with retained transmitter bandwidth, carrier spacing and slot structure. It is only allowed to use 4-level and/or higher level modulation in the B + Z or the A + B + Z fields EN 300 175-3 [3], whereby the S + A or the S field respectively shall use the π/2-DBPSK 2-level modulation. π/2-DPSK may be generally used as 2-level modulation instead of the GFSK modulation. The allowed combinations of modulation schemes are defined in table 2. Table 2: Allowed combinations of modulation schemes Configuration S-field A-field B + Z-field 1a GFSK GFSK GFSK 1b π/2-DBPSK π/2-DBPSK π/2-DBPSK 2 π/2-DBPSK π/2-DBPSK π/4-DQPSK 3 π/2-DBPSK π/2-DBPSK π/8-D8PSK 4a π/2-DBPSK π/4-DQPSK π/4-DQPSK 4b π/2-DBPSK π/8-D8PSK π/8-D8PSK 5 π/2-DBPSK π/2-DBPSK 16-QAM 6 π/2-DBPSK π/2-DBPSK 64-QAM Configuration 1a is the basic DECT modulation scheme. Configurations 2, 3, 5 and 6 ensure that equipment with basic 2 level modulation, and equipment with a higher rate option, can efficiently share a common base station infrastructure. The GFSK modulation can be detected for instance in a non-coherent π/2-DPSK receiver, and the π/2-DPSK modulation can be detected in a GFSK receiver. Therefore all A-field information including broadcast system information, paging and call control can be received independently of whether configuration 1, 2, 3, 5 or 6 is used. The modulation accuracy for configurations 1b, 2, 3, 4a, 4b, 5 and 6 shall be such that high performance coherent demodulation and equalization can be implemented in the receivers. The chosen types of modulation are also suitable for differential detector implementations. A typical sensitivity of -95 dBm is expected for the 4-level modulation if coherent demodulation is implemented, and about -93 dBm with a differential digital detector. In addition to the higher level modulation schemes channel coding based on turbo channel encoding combined with puncturing has been introduced. The Encoder is intended to mitigate deep fading effects that damage the B-field data transmission. Burst errors during the transmission affect both useful bits and parity bits. Decoding processing leads to an improved decision on transmitted useful bits. Turbo decoding integrated in an iterative processing loop ensures an efficient and adaptive decoding processing fit to the propagation channel constraints and the desired bit rate target and QoS to the service transmission. The Puncturing combined with several modulation level schemes allows a large available bit rate range for each propagation scenario. The adaptive bit rate implementation is adjusted in regards with the concerned propagation scenario and the B-field data framing. Puncturing gives an efficient mapping of encoded bits within every symbol. It is defined in such a way that parity bits and net bits are arranged in a specific way within the symbols.
