The present document defines the standard for packet radio services for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) systems conforming to EN 300 175 Parts 1 [1] to 7 [7]. It is the basis of profiles@ which define more specific applications (Application Specific Access Profiles ASAPs)@ aimed at the connection of terminals supporting packet data services to a fixed infrastructure@ both private and public. The present document defines a basic service@ with the service classes 1 or 2. Service class 1 provides for applications in closed user groups@ whereas service class 2 is intended for use in private and public roaming applications. The annexes to the present document contain the conventions for interworking of the frame-relay and character oriented services. The present document defines the additional requirements on the Physical Layer (PHL)@ Medium Access Control (MAC) layer@ Data Link Control (DLC) layer and Network (NWK) layer of DECT. The standard also specifies Management Entity (ME) requirements@ which ensure the efficient use of the DECT spectrum.
