FREQUENCY RANGE
1. 400 MHz
380 - 400 MHz for public safety systems

410 - 430 MHz for commercial applications

2. 800 MHz for commercial applications

standard based on TDMA technology with 4 timeslot and 25 kHz band

To ensure an open multivendor market, TETRA specifies the following essential interfaces:

Air Interface ensure the interoperability of terminal equipment from different manufacturers. Terminal Equipment Interface (TEI) facilitates the independent development of mobile data applications. Inter-System Interface (ISI) allows the interconnection of TETRA Networks from different manufacturers. Direct Mode Operation (DMO) guarantees communication between terminals also beyond network coverage .

TDMA

TETRA TDMA
4:1 TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) 25 kHz carrier spacing Digital modulation, /4 DQPSK at 36 kbits/s Speech calls use one channel Data calls can use up to 4 channels ( Data transfer rates up to 7.2 kbit/ s per channel)

Four user channels interleaved into one 25 kHz carrier

TETRA Traffic case - simplex calls

Simplex Calls Mobile is either transmitting or receiving Requires operation of PTT switch (Push To Talk) Talk time is usually limited, typically 1 minute maximum Group calls are always simplex

123seminarsonly.com

TETRA Traffic case - duplex calls

Duplex Calls Mobile is transmitting and receiving (like GSM phone call) Does not require holding PTT to continue transmission Recommended for making measurements - no talk timer Phone calls are usually but not always duplex

123seminarsonly.com

TETRA Traffic case - Group call

Group call A call between more than 2 parties Call is always simplex, direct set-up Only possible if one or more groups have been attached

TETRA is the Cost - Effective Technology

Four-channel TDMA gives excellent spectrum economy 4 channels in one 25 kHz carrier Trunking technology supports controlled use of shared networks

TDMA makes costeffective Base Stations

Difference between GSM and TETRA System

GSM System
Designed for public cellular telephony. Based on Duplex & point to point communication.

TETRA System
Designed for professional mobile radio applications. Based on simplex, semi duplex,fill duplex also point to point & multi point to point communication.

Not suitable for emergency services Suitable for emergency services due (Call set up time ~ a few seconds). to very fast call set up time (300 ms) Do not maintain privacy and mutual security. Direct Mode Operation(DMO) is not possible. Maintain privacy and mutual security.

Direct Mode Operation(DMO) is possible, which supports voice and data transmission without a Base Station between Radio Terminals. 123seminarsonly.com
