Foreword
This Technical Report (TR) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio
spectrum Matters (ERM).
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "need not", "will", "will not", "can" and
"cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms for the expression of
provisions).

Introduction
The present document is the deliverable of phase 3 work by ETSI STF 386. It is a refinement of the concepts and
methods depicted in earlier documents by phase 1 and phase 2. Phase 1 has generated document ETSI TR 102 799 [i.2]
and phase 2 document ETSI TS 102 800 [i.6].
The refinement is based on the experience and lessons learnt during the course of a German national research project
called "C-PMSE" funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi). This project had the
aim of ensuring the high quality of productions with PMSE under a dynamically changing interference situation.
The present document therefore reflects several modifications to the originally proposed architecture of a cognitive
interference mitigation system and spectrum access for PMSE and to the methods of operating it.
As the majority of partners and experts participating in STF 386 were also partners on the German Research project, a
smooth transfer of public information gained in the research project to the STF 386 work was ensured.
The present document will highlight the changes made to the architectural concepts and operation methods for cognitive
interference mitigation with PMSE over the phase 1 and phase 2 deliverables as a consequence of the findings by the
German research project.
The present document provides recommendations on the interfaces that need to be standardized to ensure proper
functionality of interference mitigation techniques.
As the german research project ran a large demonstration tested at Messe Berlin, several tests of cognitive behaviour
have been conducted there and a deep understanding of necessary tests has been developed which serves as the basis for
defining recommended test cases in the present document. The aim is to recommend test cases that should be
incorporated in the relevant standards.
C-PMSE technology and measurement procedures should be incorporated in ETSI EN 300 422-1 [i.1] and
ETSI EN 301 489-1 [i.4] and ETSI EN 301 489-9 [i.7] as soon as practicable in order to encourage the development and
widespread use of cognitive PMSE systems in the market.
Although the testings and demonstrations with the German research project have focussed on UHF TV Band, the
findings on refinement of architecture and operation method are applicable to other bands.

7 ETSI TR 102 801 V1.1.1 (2015-03)
During Phases 1 and 2, the STF 386 has accomplished the following work:
• Investigated methods, principles and techniques for spectrum access systems for PMSE technologies and for
the guarantee of a high sound production quality on selected frequencies utilizing cognitive interference
mitigation techniques.
• Delivered an ETSI Technical Report ETSI TR 102 799 [i.2] on "Operation methods and principles for
spectrum access systems for PMSE technologies and for the guarantee of a high sound production quality on
selected frequencies utilizing cognitive interference mitigation techniques".
• Delivered an ETSI Technical Specification on the recommended spectrum access technique, defined in
ETSI TS 102 800 [i.6] on "Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); Cognitive
Programme Making and Special Events (C-PMSE); Protocols for spectrum access and sound quality control
systems using cognitive interference mitigation techniques".
During Phase 3, the STF 386 performed the following work:
• Specified test procedures based on experience gained during the BMWi research project. Please note that
although the technology demonstrator at Messe Berlin concentrated on one particular PMSE application and
frequency band, the theory is applicable to all PMSE applications.
• Delivered the present document containing the defined compliance tests for the proposed spectrum access
mechanism evolved from ETSI TR 102 799 [i.2] and ETSI TS 102 800 [i.6]. STF 386 by the present document
proposes the type of compliance required, which will be different from the current ETSI EN 300 422-1 [i.1]
specifications.

4 Specialities of PMSE
4.1 Overview
PMSE especially PWMS have specific requirements that differ from other wireless systems. In the following some
aspects are discussed.
4.2 Latency of service
PMSE has to serve very stringent latency requirements. The difference to most other wireless systems is that with
PMSE the information source is co-located with the information sink, e.g. an artist is using a wireless microphone and
simultaneously an In Ear Monitor.
Figure 1: Roundtrip Problem scenario
The loopback from the artist back to the artist is enriched by the mixing console, where the information from other
artists are added.
Experience from drummer artists tells that a roundtrip of smaller than 5 ms is needed for a high quality artistic
performance. Assuming 1 ms for the mixing console, one PMSE link would be allowed to have maximum 3 ms latency.
If with an event multiple microphones are used there is also a further requirement on the latency differences between
the links as this may lead to acoustic holes (comb filtering) in spatial sound production or loss of synchronization
between audio and video production.
4.3 Availability of service
PMSE applications have high requirements in terms of availability of service. Availability should be 100 %. In a high
quality production loss of a wireless link, leading to interruptions of the audio link, called drop-outs, are not acceptable.
In general no perceived interruption whatever root cause can be tolerated. As variations of received signal strength due
to fading may easily reach 30 dB, typically a high margin and diversity gains are implemented on the link budget.
An event or performance cannot be repeated. Mostly these are unique events, so information would be lost totally. In
other communication systems lost data can be repeated, which of course adds latency.
Robustness of transmission cannot be gained by wide temporal interleaving as this would introduce unacceptably large
latency.
4.4 Mobility
Some artistic performances and ENG applications involve high speed by mobile terminals, like wireless microphones
with singers on skates e.g. with Musicals Cats and Holiday on Ice or reports from cars. Therefore typically speeds up to
80 km/h have to be supported, i.e. PMSE need to support mobility.
ETSI
12 ETSI TR 102 801 V1.1.1 (2015-03)
4.5 SNR operational conditions
RF SINR operational conditions for analogue FM links are higher than for other systems. As the 20 kHz audio
bandwidth is typically expanded to 200 kHz wide RF channels, there is only a 10 dB bandwidth expansion gain by FM.
This means that audio SNR is only 10 dB better than the RF SNR. So if an non-companded audio SNR of 60 dB is
demanded, the SINR at RF has to be 50 dB. For reference GSM could work successfully with 7 dB to 9 dB SINR and
CDMA systems may also work with negative SINR.
4.6 Intermodulation
In PMSE deployments one may face not only strong receiver, but also strong transmitter intermodulation. If for
example an artist carries a wireless microphone and an instrument transmitter or if two singers stand close with their
wireless microphones, reverse intermodulation can happen, meaning that part of the transmitter power from one
wireless microphone enters the output stages of the other wireless microphone. Intermodulation's products will be
generated due to non-linear behaviour of the output stage. As the operational RF SINR values are typically much higher
than in other systems, PMSE is more vulnerable to transmitter and receiver intermodulation. This is the reason why
intermodulation products are carefully planned up to IM5 products.
5 Terminology on spectrum use
5.1 Overview
For performing an optimization in terms of spectrum use, it is important to have a clear understanding of the metrics to
be improved. In the following various metrics are presented. As there is also a lot of confusion in the definition of the
term "spectral efficiency" the terminology is revisited here.
5.2 Definitions
5.2.1 Spectral efficiency of a point to point connection
The term "spectral efficiency of a P2P connection" describes the properties of a transmission scheme for a point-to-
point link. It reflects the number of bits transported per second within a given bandwidth. It is measured bit/s/Hz. It can
be increased by several options:
a) Increasing the order of modulation, e.g. from QPSK to 256 QAM.
b) Applying Source coding. With digital transmission e.g. MP3 could be used to reduce the amount of data to be
transmitted. With analogue transmission an analogue compander reduces the dynamic range and which is a
way of increasing spectral efficiency. Source coding is not only applicable to digital transmission, it is
applicable to analogue transmission as well.
c) MIMO. This means multiple antennas at the transmitter and multiple antennas at the receiver. If the
propagation channel offers a lot of reflections, the spectral efficiency more or less scales linearly with the
number of antennas.
5.2.2 Spectral efficiency of a wireless communication system
The term "Spectral efficiency of a wireless communication system" describes the number of bits transported within a
second and within a given bandwidth summed over all users normalized to served area. It is measured bit/s/Hz/km . It
therefore reflects an aggregation over all users, thus multiple links, versus above definition which reflects only one link.
