Trunking Radio System TETRA

TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) is an digital trunked radio system standard used worldwide for public safety networks, utilities, transportation and government users. It uses TDMA technology within 25 kHz channels to provide 4 voice or data slots, allowing better spectral efficiency than analog systems. TETRA supports both trunked and direct mode operations, with fast call setup times, security features and open standards to ensure interoperability between different vendors. It has become the dominant professional mobile radio system internationally due its cost-effectiveness and ability to meet the critical communication needs of emergency responders and mission-critical groups.

TETRA is superior PMR technology
•Individual and group communications
•Direct mode communication between radios
•Packet data and fast data transfer services
•Over-the-air programming of radios
•Frequency economy

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 .

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
