SIST ETS 300 636 E1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETS 300 636 Edition 1, published by SIST and based on an ETSI European Telecommunication Standard. It specifies requirements for Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) point-to-multipoint digital radio systems in the 1 to 3 GHz range, aimed at carrying voice, telex, low-speed data, and ISDN basic rate access.

What does SIST ETS 300 636 E1:2003 specify?

SIST ETS 300 636 E1:2003 covers fixed Point-to-Multipoint (P-MP) digital radio systems using TDMA. It sets the main system, radio, interface, power, and environmental characteristics that matter when planning, building, or checking a P-MP network.

6Types of services/subscriber and exchange interfaces
7Power supply and environmental characteristics

The scope includes fixed services in the 1.5 GHz, 2.2 GHz, 2.4 GHz, and 2.6 GHz bands. The band plans are linked to the named CEPT and CCIR recommendations, so spectrum planning has to follow the right regional channel arrangement.

What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 636 E1:2003?

SIST ETS 300 636 E1:2003 focuses on end-to-end capacity, radio performance, interfaces, and installation conditions. In practice, it gives operators and manufacturers the parameters they need to size the system, test the radio path, and connect the network side and subscriber side correctly.

System performance

  • Clause 4.2 sets the traffic carrying capacity at n x 2 Mbit/s, with n equal to 1, 2, or 4. This tells the designer the basic system size to expect.
  • Clause 4.2 requires transmission error performance in line with CCITT Recommendation G.821, and a round trip delay of no more than 20 ms for a 64 kbit/s voice time slot. That matters for voice quality and timing-sensitive services.
  • Clause 4.2 also requires full transparency, so the exchange and subscriber equipment communicate without needing to know the radio link is there.
  • If a Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) interface is used, Clause 4.2 points it to ITU-T Recommendation G.773.

Radio characteristics

  • Clauses 5.1 and 5.2 define the radio bands and channel spacing, which is the basis for frequency planning and interference control.
  • Clause 5.3 sets transmitter limits, including a maximum output power of 35 dBm, a possible reduced power range for operation or regulatory reasons, and short-term radio frequency tolerance of ± 15 ppm. That affects equipment selection and type testing.
  • Clause 5.3 also covers spectrum mask, spurious emissions, and the test signal conditions used for measurement, including PRBS loading and maximum-hold spectrum analysis.
  • Clause 5.4 covers receiver behaviour: input level range, BER performance, adjacent channel rejection, co-channel rejection, and image frequency rejection. These checks show how well the receiver handles weak signals and interference.
  • Clause 5.5 fixes the RF equipment port as 50 ohms coaxial and requires return loss better than 15 dB. That matters for matching antennas, feeders, and test equipment.

Interfaces and operating conditions

  • Clause 6 requires at least one subscriber or network interface from the listed set, including analogue 2-wire, analogue 4-wire with E&M, telex, digital data port, ISDN basic rate, 2 Mbit/s, and V5.1/V5.2-related combinations. This tells buyers what service types the system can connect.
  • Clause 6 also requires internal and external synchronization methods, with the free-running clock within 50 ppm of nominal.
  • Clause 7 ties power supply, environmental conditions, EMC, and feeder/antenna requirements to the named companion standards.

What terms does SIST ETS 300 636 E1:2003 define?

  • P-MP means Point-to-Multipoint, a system where one central site serves multiple remote stations.
  • TDMA means Time Division Multiple Access, a method that shares one radio channel by assigning time slots.
  • CCS means Central Controller Station, the exchange-side unit that connects to the local switch.
  • CRS means Central Radio Station, the central radio transceiver unit at the base site.
  • TS means Terminal Station, the outstation that connects directly to subscriber loops.
  • RS means Repeater Station, a radio repeater outstation that may or may not include subscriber interfaces.
  • BER means Bit Error Rate, the measure used to check transmission and receiver performance.

Who uses SIST ETS 300 636 E1:2003?

SIST ETS 300 636 E1:2003 is used by radio equipment manufacturers, network operators, integrators, and test laboratories working on fixed P-MP access systems. It is relevant where remote subscribers need access to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Private Digital Network (PDN), or ISDN services, especially in rural, suburban, and business access deployments.

What changed in SIST ETS 300 636 E1:2003 from the previous edition?

SIST ETS 300 636 E1:2003 is identical to ETS 300 636 Edition 1. The history identifies that edition as the first edition, published in October 1996.

Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 636 E1:2003?

SIST ETS 300 636 E1:2003 relies on several companion standards for specific parts of the system:

  • CEPT T/R 13-01 - preferred channel arrangements for fixed services in the 1 to 3 GHz range.
  • CCIR Recommendation F.701 - channel arrangements for analogue and digital P-MP systems in the relevant 1.427 to 2.690 GHz range.
  • CCITT Recommendation G.821 - error performance for digital connections.
  • ITU-T Recommendation G.773 - protocol suites for Q-interfaces used in management.
  • ETS 300 631-2 - antenna parameters for P-MP radio links in the 1 to 3 GHz bands.
  • ITU-T Recommendation G.712, CCITT Recommendation R.20, CCITT Recommendation G.703, and ETS 300 012 - subscriber and network interface characteristics.
  • ETS 300 324 and ETS 300 347 - V5.1 and V5.2 access network interface support.
  • ETS 300 132, ETS 300 019, and ETS 300 385 - power supply, environmental conditions, and EMC.

What does the SIST ETS 300 636 E1:2003 document contain?

The document contains a system architecture figure, an RF block diagram, and a spectrum mask figure that support design and radio compliance work. It also includes tables for frequency bands, channel spacing, spectrum analyser settings, BER performance, and service/interface types. Clause 5 gives the transmitter and receiver test conditions used in type testing, while Clause 7 gives the power, environmental, and EMC conditions used for installation and qualification. For buyers and engineers, this means the standard is not only a description of the system, but also a practical test and selection reference.

Introduction
The main field of application of Point-to-Multipoint (P-MP) systems is to provide access to both the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and private networks (Private Digital Network (PDN)), particularly
for remote subscribers. By means of P-MP systems the network service area may be extended to cover
both distant and scattered subscriber locations.
These remote subscribers, in a similar manner to the city subscriber, are offered the full range of services
by the particular public or private network. Subscribers have access to these services by means of the
various standardized user network interfaces (2-wire loop, data, .).
P-MP applications in the metropolitan and urban environment are mainly for the provision of new data
services for business subscribers and for the extension of Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
services to local subscribers.
The frequency bands below 3 GHz are particularly suitable for the extension of telecommunications
services to distant rural and suburban subscribers.
P-MP systems provide standard network interfaces and transparently connect subscribers to the
appropriate network node (local switch, .). These systems allow a service to be connected to a number
of subscribers ranging from a few users to several hundred and over a wide range of distances.
P-MP systems are generally, but not necessarily, configured as pre-assigned systems or as Demand
Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA) radio systems.
The essential features of a typical P-MP DAMA radio systems are:
- efficient use of the radio spectrum;
- concentration;
- transparency.
Radio is often the ideal way of obtaining communications at low cost and almost independent of distance
and difficult topology. Moreover, only a small number of sites are required for these installations, thus
facilitating rapid implementation and minimizing maintenance requirements of the systems.
Concentration means that N subscribers can share n channels (N being larger than n), allowing better use
to be made of the available frequency spectrum and at a lower equipment cost. The term "multi-access" is
derived from the fact that every subscriber has access to every channel (instead of a fixed assignment as
in most multiplex systems). When a call is initiated one of the available channels is allocated to it.
When the call is terminated, the channel is released for another call.

Page 6
ETS 300 636: October 1996
Concentration requires the use of distributed intelligent control which in turn allows many other operation
and maintenance functions to be added.
Transparency means that the exchange and the telephone communicate with each other without being
aware of the radio link.
