scope:

The present document defines the standard for packet radio services for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) systems conforming to EN 300 175, Parts 1 to 7 [1] to [7]. It is the basis of profiles, which define more specific applications (Application Specific Access Profiles ASAPs), aimed at the connection of terminals supporting packet data services to a fixed infra-structure, both private and public. The present document defines a basic service, with the service classes 1 or 2. Service class 1 provides for applications in closed user groups, whereas service class 2 is intended for use in private and public roaming applications. Annexes to the present document contain the conventions for interworking of the frame-relay and character oriented services. The present document defines the additional requirements on the Physical Layer (PHL), Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, Data Link Control (DLC) layer and Network (NWK) layer of DECT. The standard also specifies Management Entity (ME) requirements, which ensure the efficient use of the DECT spectrum.
