Overview
SIST EN 301 213-3 V1.4.1:2003 specifies requirements for fixed radio systems, focusing on point-to-multipoint (P-MP) digital radio systems operating in the frequency range 24.25 GHz to 29.5 GHz using Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) methods. Developed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST) and harmonized with ETSI standards, this document details system characteristics, spectral requirements, and performance criteria for efficient and compatible TDMA-based wireless communication networks. The standard aims to ensure interoperability, effective spectrum usage, and compliance with European radio regulations for terrestrial fixed services.
Key Topics
TDMA for Point-to-Multipoint Systems
The standard outlines TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) as an access method where users share radio spectrum by transmitting in distinct time slots. It contrasts TDMA with other methods such as FDMA and CDMA, which are covered in separate parts of the EN 301 213 series.Frequency Bands and Channel Arrangements
The document addresses channel plans in the frequency bands from 24.25 GHz to 29.5 GHz, aligning with regulatory recommendations like ERC/REC T/R 13-02. Supported channel spacings include 3.5 MHz, 7 MHz, 14 MHz, 28 MHz, 56 MHz, and 112 MHz.System Types and Modulation Formats
Four system types (A, B, C, HC) are defined, each with specific parameters for spectral efficiency, minimum bit rates, and modulation complexity. These distinctions facilitate tailoring solutions to varying network requirements and regulatory conditions.Spectral and Performance Requirements
The standard presents detailed RF spectrum masks, transmitter power controls, and bit error rate (BER) thresholds, focusing on minimizing interference and ensuring robust system performance.Interference and Compatibility
Requirements cover co-channel and adjacent channel interference for reliable operation in dense deployment scenarios, with defined thresholds for signal-to-interference ratios and allowed channel separations.
Applications
Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)
TDMA-based point-to-multipoint radio systems are essential for delivering broadband wireless access to business and residential users, particularly in areas where wired infrastructure is unfeasible.Backhaul and Last-mile Connectivity
The standard supports the deployment of efficient backhaul links and facilitates last-mile connections in urban and suburban environments, leveraging high-frequency spectrum for high-capacity links.Network Expansion and Rural Access
Service providers use these systems to rapidly extend network coverage, bridging the digital divide in remote or underserved locations.Private and Enterprise Networks
Organizations and municipalities deploy compliant TDMA point-to-multipoint systems to establish secure, scalable private communication networks.

Foreword This European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Transmission and Multiplexing (TM). The present document contains the minimum technical requirements to ensure compatibility of products and conformance with radio regulations across ETSI member states. Radio terminals from different manufacturers are not required to interwork at radio frequency (i.e. no common air interface). The present document defines the requirements of radio terminal and radio-relay equipment and associated interfaces. The present document is part 3 of a multipart deliverable covering the Point-to-multipoint equipment;
Point-to-multipoint digital radio systems in frequency bands in the range 24,25 GHz to 29,5 GHz using different access methods, as identified below: Part 1: "Basic parameters"; Part 2: "Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) methods"; Part 3: "Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) methods"; Part 4: "Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) methods"; Part 5: "Multi-Carrier Time Division Multiple Access (MC-TDMA) methods". The present version of the document takes into account that, with the final publication of EN 301 213-5 [4], information and requirements relative to multicarrier systems are now more organically reported there. Therefore similar information for multicarrier systems has been removed from the present document being redundant and superseded by EN 301 213-5 [4].

ETSI ETSI EN 301 213-3 V1.4.1 (2002-02) 6 1 Scope The present document describes the TDMA access method used in Point-to-Multipoin (P-MP) Radio Relay Systems. (P-MP) Radio Relay Systems may use different access methods. As some technical parameters are different for the various access methods, the standard is divided in four parts. A basic description of the different access methods and a comparison among them is provided in TR 101 274 [2]. The present document (Time Division Multiple Access Methods, TDMA) is to be used in conjunction with EN 301 213-1 [1], describing the basic parameters common to all access methods. The present document is related to characteristics of system operating with transmitters delivering to antenna port one single carrier; multicarrier systems (where more than one carrier is passed through the same final power amplifier or active antenna are considered in EN 301 213-5 [4]).
The present document specifies the minimum requirements for system parameters of Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) Point-to-Multipoint (P-MP) Radio Systems in the terrestrial fixed services operating in the band 24,5 GHz to 29,5 GHz (see ERC/REC T/R 13-02 [3]). Only sections specific to TDMA are described in respect to the paragraphs stated in EN 301 213-1 [1]. Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is an alternative to FDMA and CDMA covered in other parts of the present document. In TDMA Point-to-Multipoint (P-MP) systems, a central station broadcasts information to terminal stations in a continuous Time Division Multiplex (TDM) or in a burst TDMA mode. The Terminal stations transmit in TDMA mode. The users may have access to the spectrum by sharing it through time multiplexing. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document. • References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-specific. • For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply. • For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies.
