Terrestrial Trunked Radio Networks

Planning of TETRA networks

Application




Figure: Max. received power in downlink of a TETRA network in a city.
The terrestrial trunked radio (TETRA) air interface is an open digital trunked radio standard defined by the European Telecommunications Standardisation Institute (ETSI) to meet the needs of the most demanding private mobile radio (PMR) and public access mobile radio (PAMR) users.

Cellular TDMA networks like TETRA require an accuarte network planning because of the frequency reuse and the requirement of sufficient co-channel interference. Accurate propagation models are therefore required for a detailed analysis of the scenario. Besides the coverage and interference situation also the max. achievable data rate can be predicted.

The following air interfaces are
pre-defined:

    TETRA
    (frequency band: 380 - 400 MHz)

Further air interfacess
 (incl. modifications of pre-defined
air interfaces) and frequency
bands can be defined by the user.

Features
