DECT
A wireless standard based on Time Division Multiple Access standard used
by Wireless Local Loop given by ETSI. |
|
|
ETSI
European Telecommunications standards institute. |
|
|
DIU
DECT Interface Unit – The brain of the DECLoop system, which can work in
both a transparent mode (extension of network coverage) and stand alone
exchange mode. |
|
|
RBS
Relay Base Station – A repeater used for extension of the signal to the
subscribers premises incase they are located far from the Base
Stations.(A far as 25 kms). |
Top |
|
BSD
Base Station Distributor – Sometimes, the base stations need not be
co-located with the DIU or be near say within 4 km radius of it. In this
case, the extension from the DIU to the CBS is done using the BSD. This
extension could be over Microwave, Optical Fiber or Copper lines. |
|
|
CBS
Compact Base Station – The CBS are the sub-system of the DECLoop that
interacts with the subscribers viz the customer premises equipment or
the Wallsets. |
|
|
WS
Wallsets are the CPE (Customer Premises equipment) which are connected
to the Phone instrument. Provide voice connectivity. |
|
|
WS-IP
Wallset-Internet Protocol provides an interface at the customer premises
for both voice and data services, each of which can be provided
individually or simultaneously. |
Top |
|
MWS
Multi wallset provides connection to four phone instruments at the same
time. |
|
|
OMC
Operations and Maintenance console provides a virtual look at the status
of each card in a DIU. It has a hot stand by protection. |
|
|
EMS
Element Management System provides a unique feature of managing up to
100 DIU together. |
|
|
IP
Internet Protocol – The protocol on which the whole internet is based. |

CPE
Customer Premises Equipment |
|
|
PSTN
Public Switched Telephone network |
|
|
TDMA
Time Division Multiple Access – With reference to radio, a Multiple
access scenario where multiple transmitters share the same frequency but
different time slots thereby providing a very efficient communication
system since frequency is a fixed commodity and difficult to reuse at
short distances. |
|
|
ADPCM
Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation – A compression technique
that encodes only the difference between sequential samples |

|
ITU
International Telecommunications Union – An International
Telecommunications standardization body. |
|
|
E1
Wide-area digital transmission scheme used predominantly in Europe that
carries data at a rate of 2.048 Mbps. |
|
|
GFSK
Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying |
|
|
G3 Fax
G3 is one of the communication procedures for FAX standardized by ITU:
International Telecommunication Union. At present, it is the most
popularized communication procedure. |

G.726
G.726 is an implementation of ITU-T G.726 standard for conversion linear
or A-law or µ-law PCM to and from a 40, 32, 24 or 16 kbit/s channel. The
specification uses Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM)
technique which is applicable to all waveforms, high-quality audio,
modem data etc. |
|
|
PPP
Point-to-Point Protocol. This protocol is a way to connect your computer
to the Internet over telephone lines. PPP is replacing an older
protocol, SLIP, as it is more stable and has more error-checking
features |
|
|
SNMP
An abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol, an Internet
standard that defines methods for remotely managing active network
components such as hubs, routers, and bridges. |
|
|
SIR
Signal to Interference Ratio - A ratio between the wanted signal power
in the channel and the interference in the channel |
Top |
|
GOS
Grade of Service - Grade of Service defines the quality of a telephone
service in terms of a user receiving a network busy signal. |
