scope:

The present document contains the Profile Test Specification (PTS) and the Test Case Library (TCL) for "New Generation DECT; Part 3: Extended wideband speech" (TS 102 527-3 [14]). The present document covers both the Portable (PT) and the Fixed (FT) Radio terminations.

The Test Case Library (TCL) covers also some test cases for "DECT New Generation; part 1; Wideband speech" (TS 102 527-1 [13]) and for the "Generic Access Profile" (EN 300 444 [12]). This is done because such test cases are mandatory or especially relevant for New Generation DECT part 3 (see TS 102 527-3 [14]), and are not covered by existing GAP test specifications.

Due to the ascending compatibility of DECT profiles, all New Generation DECT part 3 devices (see TS 102 527-3 [14]) are required to be also compliant with "DECT New Generation; part 1; Wideband speech" (TS 102 527-1 [13]) and with the "Generic Access Profile" (GAP, EN 300 444 [12]). However, with the exception of some specific test cases, as noted above, the present document does not cover the compliance with GAP that is assumed to be enforced by separate test specifications (see note).

NOTE: The industry de-facto standard practice for insuring the compliance to GAP [12] is the use of TBR 022 [i.4] amended by TBR 022/A1 [i.5], even when these two documents do not have any longer their initial regulatory signification. TBR 022 [i.4] relies on the GAP Profile Test Specification (EN 300 494 parts 1 [i.6] to 3 [i.8]) and on the DECT Test Case Library (EN 300 497 parts 1 [i.9] to 9 [i.17]).

The objective of the present document is to provide a basis for approval tests of NG-DECT Part 3 equipment giving a high probability of air interface inter-operability between different manufacturer's DECT equipment.
