  Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications
  DECT
  Digital European Cordless Telecommunications
  
     <communications, standard> (DECT, formerly ".. European ..") A
     standard developed by the European Telecommunication Standard Institute
      from 1988, governing pan-European digital mobile telephony
     .  DECT covers wireless PBXs, telepoint,
     residential cordless telephones, wireless access to the
     public switched telephone network, Closed User Groups
     (CUGs), Local Area Networks, and wireless local loop.
  
     DECT defines only the radio connection between two points and
     can be used for remote access to public and private networks.
     Other mobility standards, such as GSM, TACS, and DCS 1800
      add the necessary switching, signaling, and management
     functions that are not specified by DECT.
  
     The DECT Common Interface radio standard is a multicarrier
     time division multiple access, time division duplex
     (MC-TDMA-TDD) radio transmission technique using ten radio frequency
      channels from 1880 to 1930 MHz, each divided into
     24 time slots of 10ms, and twelve full-duplex accesses per
     carrier, for a total of 120 possible combinations.
  
     A DECT base station (an RFP, Radio Fixed Part) can transmit
     all 12 possible accesses (time slots) simultaneously by using
     different frequencies or using only one frequency.  All
     signaling information is transmitted from the RFP within a
     multiframe (16 frames).  Voice signals are digitally encoded
     into a 32 kbit/s signal using Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation
     .
  
     The handover process is requested autonomously by the
     portable terminal and the Radio Fixed Parts, according to the
     carrier signal levels.  A "Generic Access Profile" defines a
     minimum set of requirements for the support of speech
     telephony.
