What data services are defined?


Agenda




Short Data Services

• Allows messaging to and from a host• Up to 140 character messages• Data on control channel as well as voice

channels if needed– Simultaneous “voice & short data”


Examples of SDS Applications

• Automatic Vehicle Location • Resource Management • Telemetry • Messaging – “SMS”


Examples of SDS Applications

Lancashire Police – UKUse short data, via an interface on the actual hand portable terminal to their gateway, to enable car number plate and people checks against the PNC (police national computer etc).

In an environment where there is literally no room for error, it is a genuine example of a real mission critical communications situationCarter Ground Fueling's SDTS Application related to monitoring and control of the fueling of aircraft.

Gardamoen Airport - Norway


Short Data Services Benefits

• Simultaneous voice and data communication– Voice is never interrupted– Offers users multi tasking opportunities

• Real time information which does not require voice communication

• Optimised working routines • Enhanced resource usage

– Reduces operator contact– Faster information flow, through tailored applications


Circuit Data Services

• Concept used by telephone networks for over 100 years • Connection maintained for the entire duration of the call• Called circuit switching as connection is in both directions• Characteristics

– Choose whether application or network provides protection

– Typically only one user per time slot or channel

– Application needs to handle lost/corrupted messages

– Resources tied up, even when not carrying data

The wireless industry trend for data communication is moving from circuit mode towards packet mode.


What is Packet Data Protocol?

• Mobile and fixed hosts are accessed via IP address rather than ITSI address

• Multiple hosts can share the same PDCH simultaneously. Contention is managed by the PDP air interface protocol.

• Large IP packets are split into AL (Advanced Link) segments for transmission on air interface.

TETRA PDP defines a dedicated control channel (PDCH) for transporting packet data


IP Packet Data Channel Allocation

• Dedicated or dynamic data channels?

Dedicated Data Channel• Resource “ring fencing”• Allocation of channel resources• Options to “prioritise” user/groups for data

capacity

Dynamic Data Channel• Voice & data flexibility • Resource efficient• Voice priority - returned when needed

Voice

Data

– Each agency operate their closed network – Individual user groups cannot “see” into each others’ networks

– Data tunnel across the network, creating a private & confidential link

– Functionality is available for both voice & data services

– Data can be encrypted by the application


Examples of Packet Data Applications

• Database Inquiry• Mobile Office • Automatic Vehicle Location• Resource Management • Telemetry • Messaging – “SMS” • Fingerprint• Still images


Examples of Packet Data Applications

Carris Bus – PortugalIn integration with the Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) system based on the Global Positioning System (GPS), packet data enables Carris to supervise and monitor the day-to-day operation of their bus fleet.The data is used for statistics and to predict arrival displayed on information panels.

Data applications include AVL fully integrated with the CAD system and MDBA (Mobile Data Base Access)

Inquiries to several legacy data bases from Mobile data terminals installed in police vehicles

Warsaw Police C4i center


Benefits of Packet Data Protocol

• TETRA PDP enables the connection of mobile data terminals onto a user’s Intranet

• Packet data is the most cost effective solution for delivering large amounts of data over a wide geographic area

• Generic data solutions can be used, rather than customised

• Even in PD mode any voice call can override


Agenda
