scope:

The present document describes the outcome of a series of studies identified by ETSI TC DECT and required for the short and mid-term evolution of DECT and ULE technologies. The outcome of the present document will be used for planning the further evolution of technology and the immediate technology roadmap during the next years.

The outcome of the present document will allow addressing new applications and markets for ULE and DECT technologies in the mid-term, and will contribute to the ETSI effort on Internet of Things (IoT).

It is not the scope of the present document the description of DECT and ULE technologies. The core part of the DECT technology is described in the DECT common interface standard (ETSI EN 300 175) [i.1] to [i.8] plus a series of profiles, such as the GAP [i.9], DPRS [i.12], WRS [i.10] or New Generation DECT [i.14] to [i.18]. Further regulatory details of the Radio interface are given in ETSI EN 301 406 [i.24], ETSI EN 301 908-10 [i.37] and ETSI EN 300 176-1 [i.11]. A summary overview of DECT technology can be found in ETSI EN 300 175-1 [i.1].

The ULE technology is described in ETSI TS 102 939 series [i.19] and [i.20].
