TETRA

Terrestrial Trunked Radio[1] (TETRA; formerly known as Trans-European Trunked Radio), a European standard for a trunked radio system, is a professional mobile radio[2] and two-way transceiver specification. TETRA was specifically designed for use by government agencies, emergency services, (police forces, fire departments, ambulance) for public safety networks, rail transport staff for train radios, transport services and the military.[3] TETRA is the European version of trunked radio, similar to Project 25.

TETRA is a European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standard, first version published 1995; it is mentioned by the European Radiocommunications Committee (ERC).[4]

Description edit

TETRA uses time-division multiple access (TDMA) with four user channels on one radio carrier and 25 kHz spacing between carriers. Both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint transfer can be used. Digital data transmission is also included in the standard though at a low data rate.

TETRA Mobile Stations (MS) can communicate direct-mode operation (DMO) or using trunked-mode operation (TMO) using switching and management infrastructure (SwMI) made of TETRA base stations (TBS). As well as allowing direct communications in situations where network coverage is not available, DMO also includes the possibility of using a sequence of one or more TETRA terminals as relays. This functionality is called DMO gateway (from DMO to TMO) or DMO repeater (from DMO to DMO). In emergency situations this feature allows direct communications underground or in areas of bad coverage.

In addition to voice and dispatch services, the TETRA system supports several types of data communication. Status messages and short data services (SDS) are provided over the system's main control channel, while packet-switched data or circuit-switched data communication uses specifically assigned channels.

TETRA provides for authentication of terminals towards infrastructure and vice versa. For protection against eavesdropping, air interface encryption and end-to-end encryption is available.

The common mode of operation is in a group calling mode in which a single button push will connect the user to the users in a selected call group and/or a dispatcher. It is also possible for the terminal to act as a one-to-one walkie talkie but without the normal range limitation since the call still uses the network. TETRA terminals can act as mobile phones (cell phones), with a full-duplex direct connection to other TETRA Users or the PSTN. Emergency buttons, provided on the terminals, enable the users to transmit emergency signals, to the dispatcher, overriding any other activity taking place at the same time.

Security vulnerabilities edit

An in-depth review published in July 2023 by the company Midnight Blue of the TETRA standard and encryption algorithms, the first made public in the last 20 years, has found multiple security flaws, collectively referred to as TETRA:BURST. A total of 5 flaws were filed to the CVE database:[5]

  • The Air Interface Encryption (AIE) keystream generator is vulnerable to decryption oracle attacks due to the use of publicly-broadcast network time[5]—keystream reuse can be triggered.[6]
  • TEA1 contains a secret reduction step that effectively downgrades the cryptographic strength from 80 to 32 bits, allowing anyone to break the cipher and subsequently decrypt the signal in as little as one minute using a consumer laptop. "There's no other way in which this can function than that this is an intentional backdoor," "This constitutes a full break of the cipher, allowing for interception or manipulation of radio traffic", according to the news report posted on ComputerWeekly.[7] The deliberately weakened TEA1 flaw seems to be known in intelligence circles and is referred to in the famous 2006 Wikileaks dump of US diplomatic communications [citation needed].
  • AIE contains no authentication for the ciphertext, making malleability attacks possible.[5]
  • The cryptographic anonymization scheme is weak and can be partially reversed to track users.[5]
  • The authentication algorithm allows attackers to set the Derived Cypher Key (DCK) to 0,[5] circumventing session authentication.[6]

In addition, the Midnight Blue team spots a "peculiarity regarding the TEA3 S-box", but has yet to determine whether it constitutes a weakness.[6]

These vulnerabilities remained publicly unknown for 28 years after TETRA's publication because TETRA does not make definitions of its cryptographic algorithms public, an example of security through obscurity. The Midnight Blue team gained access to TETRA's cryptographic code by attacking the trusted execution environment on a TETRA-enabled radio. The team points to a list of previously broken cryptographic systems relying on obscurity and argues that the Kerckhoffs's principle should have been followed: the system would have been safer when its structure is publicly known.[6]

Advantages edit

The main advantages of TETRA over other technologies (such as GSM) are:

  • The much lower frequency used gives longer range, which in turn permits very high levels of geographic coverage with a smaller number of transmitters, thus cutting infrastructure costs.
  • During a voice call, the communications are not interrupted when moving to another network site. This is a unique feature, which dPMR networks typically provide, that allows a number of fall-back modes such as the ability for a base station to process local calls. So called 'mission critical' networks can be built with TETRA where all aspects are fail-safe/multiple-redundant.
  • In the absence of a network, mobiles/portables can use 'direct mode' whereby they share channels directly (walkie-talkie mode).
  • Gateway mode - where a single mobile with connection to the network can act as a relay for other nearby mobiles that are out of range of the infrastructure. A dedicated transponder system isn't required in order to achieve this functionality, unlike with analogue radio systems.
  • TETRA also provides a point-to-point function that traditional analogue emergency services radio systems did not provide. This enables users to have a one-to-one trunked 'radio' link between sets without the need for the direct involvement of a control room operator/dispatcher.
  • Unlike cellular technologies, which connect one subscriber to one other subscriber (one-to-one), TETRA is built to do one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many. These operational modes are directly relevant to the public safety and professional users.
  • Security TETRA supports terminal registration, authentication, air-interface encryption and end-to-end encryption.[citation needed]
  • Rapid deployment (transportable) network solutions are available for disaster relief and temporary capacity provision.
  • Network solutions are available in both reliable circuit-switched (telephone like) architectures and flat, IP architectures with soft (software) switches.

Further information is available from the TETRA Association (formerly TETRA MoU) and the standards can be downloaded for free from ETSI.

Disadvantages edit

Its main disadvantages are:

  • Serious security issues have been identified, including an intentional weakening of the TEA1 cipher, constituting a full break within a minute on consumer hardware. (See Description)
  • Requires a linear amplifier to meet the stringent RF specifications that allow it to exist alongside other radio services.
  • Data transfer is slow by modern standards.

Up to 7.2 kbit/s per timeslot, in the case of point-to-point connections, and 3.5 kbit/s per timeslot in case of IP encapsulation. Both options permit the use of between one and four timeslots. Different implementations include one of the previous connectivity capabilities, both, or none, and one timeslot or more. These rates are ostensibly faster than the competing technologies DMR, dPMR, and P25 are capable of. Latest version of standard supports 115.2 kbit/s in 25 kHz or up to 691.2 kbit/s in an expanded 150 kHz channel. To overcome the limitations many software vendors have begun to consider hybrid solutions where TETRA is used for critical signalling while large data synchronization and transfer of images and video is done over 3G / LTE.[8]

Technical details edit

Radio aspects edit

For its modulation TETRA, uses π4 differential quadrature phase-shift keying. The symbol (baud) rate is 18,000 symbols per second, and each symbol maps to 2 bits, thus resulting in 36,000 bit/s gross.

As a form of phase shift keying is used to transmit data during each burst, it would seem reasonable to expect the transmit power to be constant. However it is not. This is because the sidebands, which are essentially a repetition of the data in the main carrier's modulation, are filtered off with a sharp filter so that unnecessary spectrum is not used up. This results in an amplitude modulation and is why TETRA requires linear amplifiers. The resulting ratio of peak to mean (RMS) power is 3.65 dB. If non-linear (or not-linear enough) amplifiers are used, the sidebands re-appear and cause interference on adjacent channels. Commonly used techniques for achieving the necessary linearity include Cartesian loops, and adaptive predistortion.

The base stations normally transmit continuously and (simultaneously) receive continuously from various mobiles on different carrier frequencies; hence the TETRA system is a frequency-division duplex (FDD) system. TETRA also uses FDMA/TDMA (see above) like GSM. The mobiles normally only transmit on 1 slot/4 and receive on 1 slot/4 (instead of 1 slot/8 for GSM).

Speech signals in TETRA are sampled at 8 kHz and then compressed with a vocoder using algebraic code-excited linear prediction (ACELP). This creates a data stream of 4.567 kbit/s. This data stream is error-protection encoded before transmission to allow correct decoding even in noisy (erroneous) channels. The data rate after coding is 7.2 kbit/s. The capacity of a single traffic slot when used 17/18 frames.

A single slot consists of 255 usable symbols, the remaining time is used up with synchronisation sequences and turning on/off, etc. A single frame consists of 4 slots, and a multiframe (whose duration is 1.02 seconds) consists of 18 frames. Hyperframes also exist, but are mostly used for providing synchronisation to encryption algorithms.

The downlink (i.e., the output of the base station) is normally a continuous transmission consisting of either specific communications with mobile(s), synchronisation or other general broadcasts. All slots are usually filled with a burst even if idle (continuous mode). Although the system uses 18 frames per second only 17 of these are used for traffic channels, with the 18th frame reserved for signalling, Short Data Service messages (like SMS in GSM) or synchronisation. The frame structure in TETRA (17.65 frames per second), consists of 18,000 symbols/s; 255 symbols/slot; 4 slots/frame, and is the cause of the perceived "amplitude modulation" at 17 Hz and is especially apparent in mobiles/portables which only transmit on one slot/4. They use the remaining three slots to switch frequency to receive a burst from the base station two slots later and then return to their transmit frequency (TDMA).

Air interface encryption edit

To provide confidentiality the TETRA air interface is encrypted using one of the TETRA Encryption Algorithm (TEA) ciphers. The encryption provides confidentiality (protect against eavesdropping) as well as protection of signalling.

Currently 4 different ciphers are defined, TEA1 up to TEA4. These TEA ciphers should not be confused with the block cipher Tiny Encryption Algorithm. The TEA ciphers have different availability due to export and use restrictions. Few details are published concerning these proprietary ciphers. Riess[12] mentions in early TETRA design documents that encryption should be done with a stream cipher, due to the property of not propagating transmission errors. Parkinson[13] later confirms this and explains that TEA is a stream cipher with 80-bit keys. The algorithms were later reversed and it appeared that TEA1 reduces its key strength to 32 bits.[14] TEA1 and TEA4 provide basic level security, and are meant for commercial use.[15] The TEA2 cipher is restricted to European public safety organisations. The TEA3 cipher is for situations where TEA2 is suitable but not available.[16]

Cell selection edit

Cell re-selection (or hand-over) in images edit

 
RSSI SRT FRT cell limit (propagation delay exceed)

This first representation demonstrates where the slow reselect threshold (SRT), the fast reselect threshold (FRT), and propagation delay exceed parameters are most likely to be. These are represented in association with the decaying radio carrier as the distance increases from the TETRA base station.

From this illustration, these SRT and FRT triggering points are associated to the decaying radio signal strength of the respective cell carriers. The thresholds are situated so that the cell reselection procedures occur on time and assure communication continuity for on-going communication calls.

Initial cell selection edit

 
Cell initial selection

The next diagram illustrates where a given TETRA radio cell initial selection. The initial cell selection is performed by procedures located in the MLE and in the MAC. When the cell selection is made, and possible registration is performed, the mobile station (MS) is said to be attached to the cell. The mobile is allowed to initially select any suitable cell that has a positive C1 value; i.e., the received signal level is greater than the minimum receive level for access parameter.

The initial cell selection procedure shall ensure that the MS selects a cell in which it can reliably decode downlink data (i.e., on a main control channel/MCCH), and which has a high probability of uplink communication. The minimum conditions that shall have to be met are that C1 > 0. Access to the network shall be conditional on the successful selection of a cell.

At mobile switch on, the mobile makes its initial cell selection of one of the base stations, which indicates the initial exchanges at activation.

  • Refer to EN 300 392 2 16.3.1 Activation and control of underlying MLE service
  • Note 18.5.12 Minimum RX access level

The minimum receive access level information element shall indicate the minimum received signal level required at the SwMI in a cell, either the serving cell or a neighbour cell as defined in table 18.24.

Cell improvable edit

 
Cell improvable

The next diagram illustrates where a given TETRA radio cell becomes improvable. The serving cell becomes improvable when the following occurs: the C1 of the serving cell is below the value defined in the radio network parameter cell reselection parameters, slow reselect threshold for a period of 5 seconds, and the C1 or C2 of a neighbour cell exceeds the C1 of the serving cell by the value defined in the radio network parameter cell reselection parameters, slow reselect hysteresis for a period of 5 seconds.

Cell usable edit

 
Cell usable

The next diagram illustrates where a given TETRA radio cell becomes usable. A neighbour cell becomes radio usable when the cell has a downlink radio connection of sufficient quality.

The following conditions must be met in order to declare a neighbour cell radio usable: The neighbour cell has a path loss parameter C1 or C2 that is, for a period of 5 seconds, greater than the fast reselect threshold plus the fast reselect threshold, and the service level provided by the neighbour cell is higher than that of the serving cell. No successful cell reselection shall have taken place within the previous 15 seconds unless MM requests a cell reselection. The MS-MLE shall check the criterion for serving cell relinquishment as often as one neighbour cell is scanned or monitored.

The following conditions will cause the MS to rate the neighbour cell to have higher service level than the current serving cell:

  • The MS subscriber class is supported on the neighbour cell but not on the serving cell.
  • The neighbour cell is a priority cell and the serving cell is not.
  • The neighbour cell supports a service (that is, TETRA standard speech, packet data, or encryption) that is not supported by the serving cell and the MS requires that service to be available.
  • The cell service level indicates that the neighbour cell is less loaded than the serving cell.

Cell relinquishable (abandonable) edit

 
Cell relinquishable

The next diagram illustrates where a given TETRA radio cell becomes relinquishable (abandonable). The serving cell becomes relinquishable when the following occurs: the C1 of the serving cell is below the value defined in the radio network parameter cell reselection parameters, fast reselect threshold, for a period of 5 seconds, and the C1 or C2 of a neighbour cell exceeds the C1 of the serving cell by the value defined in the radio network parameter cell reselection parameters, fast reselect hysteresis, for a period of 5 seconds.

No successful cell reselection shall have taken place within the previous 15 seconds unless Mobility Management (MM) requests a cell reselection. The MS-MLE shall check the criterion for serving cell relinquishment as often as one neighbour cell is scanned or monitored.

Radio down-link failure edit

 
Radio down-link failure

When the FRT threshold is breached, the MS is in a situation where it is essential to relinquish (or abandon) the serving cell and obtain another of at least usable quality. That is to say, the mobile station is aware that the radio signal is decaying rapidly, and must cell reselect rapidly, before communications are terminated because of radio link failure. When the mobile station radio-signal breaches the minimum receive level, the radio is no longer in a position to maintain acceptable communications for the user, and the radio link is broken.

Radio link failure: (C1 < 0). Using the suggested values, this would be satisfied with the serving cell level below −105 dBm. Cell reselection procedures are then activated in order to find a suitable radio base station.

Man-machine interface (MMI) edit

Virtual MMI for terminals edit

Any given TETRA radio terminal using Java (Java ME/CLDC) based technology, provides the end user with the communication rights necessary to fulfil his or her work role on any short duration assignment.

For dexterity, flexibility, and evolution ability, the public transportation radio engineering department, have chosen to use the open sources, Java language specification administered by Sun and the associated work groups in order to produce a transport application tool kit.

Service acquisition admits different authorised agents to establish communication channels between different services by calling the service identity, and without possessing the complete knowledge of the ISSI, GSSI, or any other TETRA related communication establishment numbering plan. Service acquisition is administered through a communication rights centralised service or roll allocation server, interfaced into the TETRA core network.

In summary, the TETRA MMI aims are to:

  • Allow any given agent while in exercise, to exploit any given radio terminal without materiel constraint.
  • Provide specific transportation application software to the end-user agents (service acquisition, fraud, and aggression control).

This transport application tool-kit has been produced successfully and with TETRA communication technology and assures for the public transport application requirements for the future mentioned hereafter.

The home (main) menu presents the end user with three possibilities:

  1. Service acquisition,
  2. Status SDS,
  3. End-user parameters.

Service acquisition provides a means of virtually personalising the end user to any given radio terminal and onto TETRA network for the duration the end user conserves the terminal under his possession.

Status SDS provides the end user with a mechanism for generating a 440 Hz repeating tone that signals a fraud occurrence to members within the same (dynamic or static) Group Short Subscriber Identity (GSSI) or to a specific Individual Short Subscriber Identity (ISSI) for the duration of the assignment (an hour, a morning patrol or a given short period allocated to the assignment). The advantage being that each of the end users may attach themselves to any given terminal, and group for short durations without requiring any major reconfiguration by means of radio software programming tools. Similarly, the aggression feature functions, but with a higher tone frequency (880 Hz), and with a quicker repetitious nature, so to highlight the urgency of the alert.

The parameters tab provides an essential means to the terminal end-user allowing them to pre-configure the target (preprogrammed ISSI or GSSI ) destination communication number. With this pre-programmed destination number, the end-user shall liaise with the destination radio terminal or roll allocation server, and may communicate, in the group, or into a dedicated server to which the service acquisition requests are received, preprocessed, and ultimately dispatched though the TETRA core network. This simplifies the reconfiguration or recycling configuration process allowing flexibility on short assignments.

The parameters tab also provides a means of choosing between preselected tones to match the work group requirements for the purposes of fraud and aggression alerts. A possibility of selecting any given key available from the keypad to serve as an aggression or fraud quick key is also made possible though the transport application software tool kit. It is recommend to use the asterisk and the hash keys for the fraud and aggression quick keys respectively. For the fraud and aggression tones, it is also recommend to use 440 Hz slow repeating tone (blank space 500 milli-seconds) and 880 Hz fast repeating tone (blank space 250 milliseconds) respectively. The tone options are as follows: 440 Hz, 620 Hz, 880 Hz, and 1060 Hz.

The parameters page provides an aid or help menu and the last tab within parameters describes briefly the tool kit the version and the history of the transport application tool kit to date.

TETRA Enhanced Data Service (TEDS) edit

The TETRA Association, working with ETSI, developed the TEDS standard, a wideband data solution, which enhances TETRA with a much higher capacity and throughput for data. In addition to those provided by TETRA, TEDS uses a range of adaptive modulation schemes and a number of different carrier sizes from 25 kHz to 150 kHz. Initial implementations of TEDS will be in the existing TETRA radio spectrum, and will likely employ 50 kHz channel bandwidths as this enables an equivalent coverage footprint for voice and TEDS services. TEDS performance is optimised for wideband data rates, wide area coverage and spectrum efficiency.[17]

Advances in DSP technology have led to the introduction of multi-carrier transmission standards employing QAM modulation. WiMAX, Wi-Fi and TEDS standards are part of this family.

  • Mobile Information Device Profile, JSR-37;
  • Wireless Messaging API, JSR120;
  • Connected Limited Device Configuration, JSR-139; and
  • Technology for the Wireless Industry, JTWI-185.

Comparison to Project 25 edit

Project 25 and TETRA are utilised for the public safety Radio network and Private Sector Radio network worldwide however, it has some differences in technical features and capacities.[18][19][20]

  • TETRA: It is optimized for high population density areas, with spectral efficiency (4 time slots in 25 kHz: four communications channels per 25 kHz channel, an efficient use of spectrum). It is suitable for high population density areas and supports full duplex voice, data and messaging. but, it is generally unavailable for simulcast, VHF band - however particular vendors have introduced Simulcast and VHF into their TETRA platform..
  • P25: it is optimized for wider area coverage with low population density, and support for simulcast. however, it is limited to data support. (Phase 1 P25 radio systems operate in a 12.5 kHz analogue, digital or mixed mode, and P25 Phase II will use a 2-timeslot TDMA structure in 12.5 kHz channels.

Currently, P25 deployed to more than 53 countries and TETRA deployed to more than 114 countries.

Usage edit

At the end of 2009 there were 114 countries using TETRA systems in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, Caribbean and Latin America.[21]

The TETRA-system is in use by the public sector in the following countries. Only TETRA network infrastructure installations are listed. TETRA being an open standard, each of these networks can use any mix of TETRA mobile terminals from a wide range of suppliers.

Hytera/Motorola/Sepura HamTetra Network Romania Amateur radio users engage in both DMO (Direct Mode Operation) and TMO (Trunked Mode Operation) modes, both within the country and globally, connecting through gateways such as Zello and SVXLink.

Ham Tetra Romania Network Architecture was developed and published along with users map and equipment used on the YO8TEH website

Tetra gear in ham radio was initially introduced by YO8TEH in 2014 in DMO (Direct Mode Operation). Subsequently, it evolved into gateways through platforms like Zello and Teamspeak. In 2021, a part of the system was split and migrated to svxlink, along with its classic application. The first Tetra Repeater for Ham Radio use in Romania was licensed under the call sign YO8TEH-1, while the second TMO repeater was licensed under the call sign YO8Q.

one radio carrier and 25 kHz spacing between carriers Both point to point and point to multipoint transfer can be used Digital data transmission is also included in the standard though at a low data rate TETRA Mobile Stations MS can communicate direct mode operation DMO or using trunked mode operation TMO using switching and management infrastructure SwMI made of TETRA base stations TBS As well as allowing direct communications in situations where network coverage is not available DMO also includes the possibility of using a sequence of one or more TETRA terminals as relays This functionality is called DMO gateway from DMO to TMO or DMO repeater from DMO to DMO In emergency situations this feature allows direct communications underground or in areas of bad coverage In addition to voice and dispatch services the TETRA system supports several types of data communication Status messages and short data services SDS are provided over the system s main control channel while packet switched data or circuit switched data communication uses specifically assigned channels TETRA provides for authentication of terminals towards infrastructure and vice versa For protection against eavesdropping air interface encryption and end to end encryption is available The common mode of operation is in a group calling mode in which a single button push will connect the user to the users in a selected call group and or a dispatcher It is also possible for the terminal to act as a one to one walkie talkie but without the normal range limitation since the call still uses the network TETRA terminals can act as mobile phones cell phones with a full duplex direct connection to other TETRA Users or the PSTN Emergency buttons provided on the terminals enable the users to transmit emergency signals to the dispatcher overriding any other activity taking place at the same time Security vulnerabilities edit This article may need to be rewritten to comply with Wikipedia s quality standards You can help The talk page may contain suggestions November 2023 An in depth review published in July 2023 by the company Midnight Blue of the TETRA standard and encryption algorithms the first made public in the last 20 years has found multiple security flaws collectively referred to as TETRA BURST A total of 5 flaws were filed to the CVE database 5 The Air Interface Encryption AIE keystream generator is vulnerable to decryption oracle attacks due to the use of publicly broadcast network time 5 keystream reuse can be triggered 6 TEA1 contains a secret reduction step that effectively downgrades the cryptographic strength from 80 to 32 bits allowing anyone to break the cipher and subsequently decrypt the signal in as little as one minute using a consumer laptop There s no other way in which this can function than that this is an intentional backdoor This constitutes a full break of the cipher allowing for interception or manipulation of radio traffic according to the news report posted on ComputerWeekly 7 The deliberately weakened TEA1 flaw seems to be known in intelligence circles and is referred to in the famous 2006 Wikileaks dump of US diplomatic communications citation needed AIE contains no authentication for the ciphertext making malleability attacks possible 5 The cryptographic anonymization scheme is weak and can be partially reversed to track users 5 The authentication algorithm allows attackers to set the Derived Cypher Key DCK to 0 5 circumventing session authentication 6 In addition the Midnight Blue team spots a peculiarity regarding the TEA3 S box but has yet to determine whether it constitutes a weakness 6 These vulnerabilities remained publicly unknown for 28 years after TETRA s publication because TETRA does not make definitions of its cryptographic algorithms public an example of security through obscurity The Midnight Blue team gained access to TETRA s cryptographic code by attacking the trusted execution environment on a TETRA enabled radio The team points to a list of previously broken cryptographic systems relying on obscurity and argues that the Kerckhoffs s principle should have been followed the system would have been safer when its structure is publicly known 6 Advantages editThe main advantages of TETRA over other technologies such as GSM are The much lower frequency used gives longer range which in turn permits very high levels of geographic coverage with a smaller number of transmitters thus cutting infrastructure costs During a voice call the communications are not interrupted when moving to another network site This is a unique feature which dPMR networks typically provide that allows a number of fall back modes such as the ability for a base station to process local calls So called mission critical networks can be built with TETRA where all aspects are fail safe multiple redundant In the absence of a network mobiles portables can use direct mode whereby they share channels directly walkie talkie mode Gateway mode where a single mobile with connection to the network can act as a relay for other nearby mobiles that are out of range of the infrastructure A dedicated transponder system isn t required in order to achieve this functionality unlike with analogue radio systems TETRA also provides a point to point function that traditional analogue emergency services radio systems did not provide This enables users to have a one to one trunked radio link between sets without the need for the direct involvement of a control room operator dispatcher Unlike cellular technologies which connect one subscriber to one other subscriber one to one TETRA is built to do one to one one to many and many to many These operational modes are directly relevant to the public safety and professional users Security TETRA supports terminal registration authentication air interface encryption and end to end encryption citation needed Rapid deployment transportable network solutions are available for disaster relief and temporary capacity provision Network solutions are available in both reliable circuit switched telephone like architectures and flat IP architectures with soft software switches Further information is available from the TETRA Association formerly TETRA MoU and the standards can be downloaded for free from ETSI Disadvantages editIts main disadvantages are Serious security issues have been identified including an intentional weakening of the TEA1 cipher constituting a full break within a minute on consumer hardware See Description Requires a linear amplifier to meet the stringent RF specifications that allow it to exist alongside other radio services Data transfer is slow by modern standards Up to 7 2 kbit s per timeslot in the case of point to point connections and 3 5 kbit s per timeslot in case of IP encapsulation Both options permit the use of between one and four timeslots Different implementations include one of the previous connectivity capabilities both or none and one timeslot or more These rates are ostensibly faster than the competing technologies DMR dPMR and P25 are capable of Latest version of standard supports 115 2 kbit s in 25 kHz or up to 691 2 kbit s in an expanded 150 kHz channel To overcome the limitations many software vendors have begun to consider hybrid solutions where TETRA is used for critical signalling while large data synchronization and transfer of images and video is done over 3G LTE 8 Technical details editRadio aspects edit For its modulation TETRA uses p 4 differential quadrature phase shift keying The symbol baud rate is 18 000 symbols per second and each symbol maps to 2 bits thus resulting in 36 000 bit s gross As a form of phase shift keying is used to transmit data during each burst it would seem reasonable to expect the transmit power to be constant However it is not This is because the sidebands which are essentially a repetition of the data in the main carrier s modulation are filtered off with a sharp filter so that unnecessary spectrum is not used up This results in an amplitude modulation and is why TETRA requires linear amplifiers The resulting ratio of peak to mean RMS power is 3 65 dB If non linear or not linear enough amplifiers are used the sidebands re appear and cause interference on adjacent channels Commonly used techniques for achieving the necessary linearity include Cartesian loops and adaptive predistortion The base stations normally transmit continuously and simultaneously receive continuously from various mobiles on different carrier frequencies hence the TETRA system is a frequency division duplex FDD system TETRA also uses FDMA TDMA see above like GSM The mobiles normally only transmit on 1 slot 4 and receive on 1 slot 4 instead of 1 slot 8 for GSM Speech signals in TETRA are sampled at 8 kHz and then compressed with a vocoder using algebraic code excited linear prediction ACELP This creates a data stream of 4 567 kbit s This data stream is error protection encoded before transmission to allow correct decoding even in noisy erroneous channels The data rate after coding is 7 2 kbit s The capacity of a single traffic slot when used 17 18 frames A single slot consists of 255 usable symbols the remaining time is used up with synchronisation sequences and turning on off etc A single frame consists of 4 slots and a multiframe whose duration is 1 02 seconds consists of 18 frames Hyperframes also exist but are mostly used for providing synchronisation to encryption algorithms The downlink i e the output of the base station is normally a continuous transmission consisting of either specific communications with mobile s synchronisation or other general broadcasts All slots are usually filled with a burst even if idle continuous mode Although the system uses 18 frames per second only 17 of these are used for traffic channels with the 18th frame reserved for signalling Short Data Service messages like SMS in GSM or synchronisation The frame structure in TETRA 17 65 frames per second consists of 18 000 symbols s 255 symbols slot 4 slots frame and is the cause of the perceived amplitude modulation at 17 Hz and is especially apparent in mobiles portables which only transmit on one slot 4 They use the remaining three slots to switch frequency to receive a burst from the base station two slots later and then return to their transmit frequency TDMA Radio frequencies edit TETRA frequencies in South America Number Frequency pair MHz Band 1

encrypted using one of the TETRA Encryption Algorithm TEA ciphers The encryption provides confidentiality protect against eavesdropping as well as protection of signalling Currently 4 different ciphers are defined TEA1 up to TEA4 These TEA ciphers should not be confused with the block cipher Tiny Encryption Algorithm The TEA ciphers have different availability due to export and use restrictions Few details are published concerning these proprietary ciphers Riess 12 mentions in early TETRA design documents that encryption should be done with a stream cipher due to the property of not propagating transmission errors Parkinson 13 later confirms this and explains that TEA is a stream cipher with 80 bit keys The algorithms were later reversed and it appeared that TEA1 reduces its key strength to 32 bits 14 TEA1 and TEA4 provide basic level security and are meant for commercial use 15 The TEA2 cipher is restricted to European public safety organisations The TEA3 cipher is for situations where TEA2 is suitable but not available 16 Cell selection edit Cell re selection or hand over in images edit nbsp RSSI SRT FRT cell limit propagation delay exceed This first representation demonstrates where the slow reselect threshold SRT the fast reselect threshold FRT and propagation delay exceed parameters are most likely to be These are represented in association with the decaying radio carrier as the distance increases from the TETRA base station From this illustration these SRT and FRT triggering points are associated to the decaying radio signal strength of the respective cell carriers The thresholds are situated so that the cell reselection procedures occur on time and assure communication continuity for on going communication calls Initial cell selection edit nbsp Cell initial selection The next diagram illustrates where a given TETRA radio cell initial selection The initial cell selection is performed by procedures located in the MLE and in the MAC When the cell selection is made and possible registration is performed the mobile station MS is said to be attached to the cell The mobile is allowed to initially select any suitable cell that has a positive C1 value i e the received signal level is greater than the minimum receive level for access parameter The initial cell selection procedure shall ensure that the MS selects a cell in which it can reliably decode downlink data i e on a main control channel MCCH and which has a high probability of uplink communication The minimum conditions that shall have to be met are that C1 gt 0 Access to the network shall be conditional on the successful selection of a cell At mobile switch on the mobile makes its initial cell selection of one of the base stations which indicates the initial exchanges at activation Refer to EN 300 392 2 16 3 1 Activation and control of underlying MLE service Note 18 5 12 Minimum RX access level The minimum receive access level information element shall indicate the

network parameter cell reselection parameters slow reselect hysteresis for a period of 5 seconds Cell usable edit nbsp Cell usable The next diagram illustrates where a given TETRA radio cell becomes usable A neighbour cell becomes radio usable when the cell has a downlink radio connection of sufficient quality The following conditions must be met in order to declare a neighbour cell radio usable The neighbour cell has a path loss parameter C1 or C2 that is for a period of 5 seconds greater than the fast reselect threshold plus the fast reselect threshold and the service level provided by the neighbour cell is higher than that of the serving cell No successful cell reselection shall have taken place within the previous 15 seconds unless MM requests a cell reselection The MS MLE shall check the criterion for serving cell relinquishment as often as one neighbour cell is scanned or monitored The following conditions will cause the MS to rate the neighbour cell to have higher service level than the current serving cell The MS subscriber class is supported on the neighbour cell but not on the serving cell The neighbour cell is a priority cell and the serving cell is not The neighbour cell supports a service that is TETRA standard speech packet data or encryption that is not supported by the serving cell and the MS requires that service to be available The cell service level indicates that the neighbour cell is less loaded than the serving cell Cell relinquishable abandonable edit nbsp Cell relinquishable The next diagram illustrates where a given TETRA radio cell becomes relinquishable abandonable The serving cell becomes relinquishable when the following occurs the C1 of the serving cell is below the value defined in the radio network parameter cell reselection parameters fast reselect threshold for a period of 5 seconds and the C1 or C2 of a neighbour cell exceeds the C1 of the serving cell by the value defined in the radio network parameter cell reselection parameters fast reselect hysteresis for a period of 5 seconds No successful cell reselection shall have taken place within the previous 15 seconds unless Mobility Management MM requests a cell reselection The MS MLE shall check the criterion for serving cell relinquishment as often as one neighbour cell is scanned or monitored Radio down link failure edit nbsp Radio down link failure When the FRT threshold is breached the MS is in a situation where it is essential to relinquish or abandon the serving cell and obtain another of at least usable quality That is to say the mobile station is aware that the radio signal is decaying rapidly and must cell reselect rapidly before communications are terminated because of radio link failure When the mobile station radio signal breaches the minimum receive level the radio is no longer in a position to maintain acceptable communications for the user and the radio link is broken Radio link failure C1 lt 0 Using the suggested values this would be satisfied with the serving cell level below 105 dBm Cell reselection procedures are then activated in order to find a suitable radio base station Infrastructure TETRA parameters

Data to be verifiedMan machine interface MMI editVirtual MMI for terminals edit Any given TETRA radio terminal using Java Java ME CLDC based technology provides the end user with the communication rights necessary to fulfil his or her work role on any short duration assignment For dexterity flexibility and evolution ability the public transportation radio engineering department have chosen to use the open sources Java language specification administered by Sun and the associated work groups in order to produce a transport application tool kit Service acquisition admits different authorised agents to establish communication channels between different services by calling the service identity and without possessing the complete knowledge of the ISSI GSSI or any other TETRA related communication establishment numbering plan Service acquisition is administered through a communication rights centralised service or roll allocation server interfaced into the TETRA core network In summary the TETRA MMI aims are to Allow any given agent while in exercise to exploit any given radio terminal without materiel constraint Provide specific transportation application software to the end user agents service acquisition fraud and aggression control This transport application tool kit has been produced successfully and with TETRA communication technology and assures for the public transport application requirements for the future mentioned hereafter The home main menu presents the end user with three possibilities Service acquisition Status SDS End user parameters Service acquisition provides a means of virtually personalising the end user to any given radio terminal and onto TETRA network for the duration the end user conserves the terminal under his possession Status SDS provides the end user with a mechanism for generating a 440 Hz repeating tone that signals a fraud occurrence to members within the same dynamic or static Group Short Subscriber Identity GSSI or to a specific Individual Short Subscriber Identity ISSI for the duration of the assignment an hour a morning patrol or a given short period allocated to the assignment The advantage being that each of the end users may attach themselves to any given terminal and group for short durations without requiring any major reconfiguration by means of radio software programming tools Similarly the aggression feature functions but with a higher tone frequency 880 Hz and with a quicker repetitious nature so to highlight the urgency of the alert The parameters tab provides an essential means to the terminal end user allowing them to pre configure the target preprogrammed ISSI or GSSI destination communication number With this pre programmed destination number the end user shall liaise with the destination radio terminal or roll allocation server and may communicate in the group or into a dedicated server to which the service acquisition requests are received preprocessed and ultimately dispatched though the TETRA core network This simplifies the reconfiguration or recycling configuration process allowing flexibility on short assignments The parameters tab also provides a means of choosing between preselected tones to match the work group requirements for the purposes of fraud and aggression alerts A possibility of selecting any given key available from the keypad to serve as an aggression or fraud quick key is also made possible though the transport application software tool kit It is recommend to use the asterisk and the hash keys for the fraud and aggression quick keys respectively For the fraud and aggression tones it is also recommend to use 440 Hz slow repeating tone blank space 500 milli seconds and 880 Hz fast repeating tone blank space 250 milliseconds respectively The tone options are as follows 440 Hz 620 Hz 880 Hz and 1060 Hz The parameters page provides an aid or help menu and the last tab within parameters describes briefly the tool kit the version and the history of the transport application tool kit to date TETRA Enhanced Data Service TEDS edit The TETRA Association working with ETSI developed the TEDS standard a wideband data solution which enhances TETRA with a much higher capacity and throughput for data In addition to those provided by TETRA TEDS uses a range of adaptive modulation schemes and a number of different carrier sizes from 25 kHz to 150 kHz Initial implementations of TEDS will be in the existing TETRA radio spectrum and will likely employ 50 kHz channel bandwidths as this enables an equivalent coverage footprint for voice and TEDS services TEDS performance is optimised for wideband data rates wide area coverage and spectrum efficiency 17 Advances in DSP technology have led to the introduction of multi carrier transmission standards employing QAM modulation WiMAX Wi Fi and TEDS standards are part of this family Refer also to JSR 118 Mobile Information Device Profile JSR 37 Wireless Messaging API JSR120 Connected Limited Device Configuration JSR 139 and Technology for the Wireless Industry JTWI 185 Comparison to Project 25 editProject 25 and TETRA are utilised for the public safety Radio network and Private Sector Radio network worldwide however it has some differences in technical features and capacities 18 19 20 TETRA It is optimized for high population density areas with spectral efficiency 4 time slots in 25 kHz four communications channels per 25 kHz channel an efficient use of spectrum It is suitable for high population density areas and supports full duplex voice data and messaging but it is generally unavailable for simulcast VHF band however particular vendors have introduced Simulcast and VHF into their TETRA platform P25 it is optimized for wider area coverage with low population density and support for simulcast however it is limited to data support Phase 1 P25 radio systems operate in a 12 5 kHz analogue digital or mixed mode and P25 Phase II will use a 2 timeslot TDMA structure in 12 5 kHz channels Currently P25 deployed to more than 53 countries and TETRA deployed to more than 114 countries Usage editAt the end of 2009 update there were 114 countries using TETRA systems in Europe Middle East Africa Asia Pacific Caribbean and Latin America 21 The TETRA system is in use by the public sector in the following countries Only TETRA network infrastructure
