scope:

This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) defines a profile for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) systems conforming to ETS 300 175 [1] to [9]. It is part of a family of profiles which build upon and extend each other, aimed at the general connection of terminals supporting nonvoice services to a fixed infra-structure, private and public.

This ETS specifies the type F service, mobility class 2, as described in ETR 185 [12]. It uses the C-plane and U-plane services provided by the data service profile type C, Class 2, ETS 300 651 [13]. Additional functionality is defined to provide a means for the high speed, acknowledged or unacknowledged, transfer of multimedia message objects, including group 3 facsimile. This service may be used for private and public roaming applications.

Annexes to this ETS contain interworking conventions to specific teleservices and application level services including group 3 facsimile. The messaging service specified in this ETS also allows efficient interworking to other message-based teleservices and application-level services, such as E-mail, World Wide Web (WWW) Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and file transfer (FTP, FTAM and ISDN file transfer). This messaging service has been optimized for the efficient utilization of the DECT air interface and guarantees interoperability for a minimum set of services independently of the terminal application.

This ETS defines the requirements on the Physical, MAC, DLC and Network layers of DECT. This ETS also specifies management entity requirements and generic Interworking Conventions which ensure the efficient use of the DECT spectrum
