November 2002 TETRA Release 2.0 - Jens Kristiansen - Motorola Agenda What does TETRA Release 1 offer? So why do we need TETRA Release 2? High Speed Packet Data Evolution of TETRA, which allows Packet Data at speeds more than 10 times that available in TETRA 1 TETRA Advanced Packet Service – TAPS TETRA Enhanced Data Service - TEDS High Speed Packet Data Deployment TEDS will be the solution for mission critical A range of channel bandwidths available in the standard Unlikely that all channel bandwidths to be offered at a single site Consider how many users to share data channel, along with application requirements The bandwidth and modulation scheme can both be varied to vary the throughput How do data, range, bandwidth vary? How does this compare with TETRA 1? The Key Points Modulation scheme can change dynamically with RF conditions As soon as the TETRA 1 curve starts to fall off, voice service is gone but data can still work with quite high MER numbers due to retransmissions. For TETRA 1, the data coverage is therefore considerably better than voice coverage For TETRA 2, the same trend is visible TEDS Coverage Planning Trade off between bandwidth, range, modulation How to perform a TEDS upgrade on a release 1 network designed for portable coverage Would TEDS be deployed to just mobiles initially? Can RF re-planning task be minimised when upgrading? What will TETRA 2 high speed data mean for data application users? Does TETRA handle data? Database look up AVL Email File transfer Limited slow scan video But multimedia applications are more difficult…. Data Applications vs. TETRA bearers Why enhance TETRA?  Reasons why you shouldn’t just use a commercial service instead Mission critical faces operational risks Interception/eavesdropping Poor coverage in remote areas Network congestion User stress – user overload (so many radios...) How do these risks impact data applications? Different service - different risk profile Different application – different risk H
