ÖNORM EN 301126-2-3 V 1.2.1

The present document details standardized test procedures for conformance testing of equipment for Point-to-MultiPoint (P-MP) digital radio relay systems applying time division multiple access method (TDMA). Optionally, for certain of the system types defined in the present document, other access methods (e.g. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)) may be used in conjunction with TDMA to provide another dimension of multiple access. Standardized procedures are required in order to fulfil ECC/DEC/(04)04 [1] on the mutual recognition, within CEPT, of the results of conformance tests on equipment carried out in individual CEPT Countries. Furthermore the procedures described in the present document are relevant to be able to fulfil the conformance assessment procedure described in Chapter II of the Directive 1999/5/EC [3] in order to demonstrate the compliance of the DRRS with the relevant Essential Requirements identified in Article 3.2 of the Directive 1999/5/EC [3]. The present document is intended to be applied in conjunction with EN 301 126-2-1 [2] and in conjunction with the individual equipment ENs/ETSs describing TDMA methods and will enable commonality of test results, irrespective of the Supplier or the Notified Body carrying out the test. The conformance tests described in the present document are those related to radio specific parameters required directly by the relevant radio relay ENs/ETSs. Conformance tests to other boundary EN/ETS (e.g. those for system input/output interfaces and related base band process) are outside the scope of the present document.
