Content
Special needs for Wireless Data in PSS
Content of the service is confidential and organization depended
Service usage level is high
Existing Command and Control Room systems and applications must

migrate
information push from the Dispatcher and status messaging

data access from the field
AVL systems
Wireless Data services are time critical

Service must work in reliable way
Information to the Field Forces

Using world wide standards like TCP/IP and Microsoft COM in TETRA interfaces
makes possible:
well known and best applications can be used with TETRA and Office
AVL, E-Mail products and text information to field forces
Information to field, enables fast decision making
Police force can purchase and develop new application from 3rd parties

AVL, Automatic Vehicle Locations
Tracking, transport systems, locate and monitor vehicles
Fleet Management
organization (company) makes routines more effective
Data Access Services

Pull Information Services, Intranet access, Terminal session to browse
information, pictures and maps, LAN/WAN interworking
Messaging Services
Fax, Email, Short Data
Embedded Telemetry
devices send automatically information
remote control and diagnostic
surveillance
Segments have different partners, products, usage areas and needs

AVL - Automatic Vehicle Location
Mandatory application in all PSS projects

TETRA Data Services, Summary
Status service
Short Data service, SDS
IP Packet Data
Circuit Mode Data
16 bit integer data, fixed length

32768 values free for application use
Fast delivery with minimum load to radio path
Group addressing
4 types of SDS messages. 16/32/64 bits and 126 bytes.

Fast delivery (less than 0.5 sec), small load to radio path
Group addressing
SDS-TL, Transport layer
Standard TCP/IP protocol layer (winsock) for applications

Fast connection setup
Economic radio path usage, automatic disconnection at inactive periods
Status Service in the TETRA
Pre-coded status numbers are transmitted, both sides know what numbers
means
16 bit integer data, fixed length
32768 values for application use

32768 values reserved for further standardization
General acknowledgment
Fast end-to-end delivery with minimum load to radio path
TETRA address space
Group addressing.
Call unrelated
Messaging during ongoing speech call
Emergency status goes always through
SDS Service in the TETRA

The TETRA standard defines four different SDS message types:
SDS--1: Values 0 - 65535 are free for application designers. Different PDU
(Protocol Data Unit) header than in TETRA Status messages.
SDS--2: 32--bit--long messages, all values are free for application designers;
SDS--3: 64--bit--long messages, all values are free for application designers;
SDS--4: messages of variable length
(1017 bits, 126+1 bytes, with advanced link max 255+1 bytes data)
Address is ITSI address (same as in the voice calls)

Sending SDS to the Groups is possible
On-Line, End-to-end delivery
Uses master signaling channel
SDS-TL (Transport Layer) standard

basic text messaging protocol for end to end acknowledgements
SDS-TL (Transport Layer) Services
end-to-end acknowledgement of message receipt and consumption by application

support for multiple application protocols
point-to-point and point-to-multipoint message transfer
broadcast message transfer
SDS-TL Text Messaging will be supported (subset of the whole SDS-TL)

A short report mode (using SDS precoded status)
negative acknowledgements:
Protocol/encoding not supported
Destination memory full
Message received
A long report mode (using SDS UDD-4)
four negative acknowledgements:
Destination not registered on system
Delivery failed
Unknown destination, gateway, or service centre address
Group address with individual service

IP Packet Data in the TETRA
IP protocol fits well to bursty traffic (IP = Internet protocol)
Enables long session times ==> "always on, always connected"
Radio resources used economically

Connectivity to the surrounding IT world
Products available in Client and Server side

Numerous application segments can use IP network
Future-proof protocol layer (TCP/IP) for the applications
roaming and handover supported

IP address allocation static or dynamically, private and public IP addresses
TCP/IP Winsock layer for Applications
TETRA IP Packet Data Air Interface
Uses Assigned Secondary Control Channel (ASCCH)

With 1 timeslot channel gross rate is 4,8 kbits/s
TETRA provides robust data link
Retransmissions of entire datagram

Selective retransmission of corrupted frames
Windowing (acknowledgement of multiple datagrams at once)
Air interface encryption applies to IP
