Telecommunications Industry Association Issues Call for Interest: "Wireless Communications Systems --- Part 3: Performance in Noise and Interference Limited Situations --- Performance Verification"

Stakeholders Invited to Contact TIA Regarding Participation

Arlington Va. – The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TR-8.18 Engineering Committee on Wireless Systems Compatibility - Interference and Coverage has issued a call for interest for document TSB-88.3-D initially titled "Wireless Communications Systems --- Part 3: Performance in Noise and Interference Limited Situations --- Performance Verification". TR-8.18 is developing guidelines in the area defined by the following scope:

TSB-88.3 addresses the migration and spectrum management issues involved in the transition to narrowband/bandwidth efficient digital and analog technologies. This includes developing solutions to the spectrum management and frequency coordination issues resulting from the narrow banding of existing spectrum considering channel spacing from 30 and 25 kHz to 15, 12.5, 7.5, and 6.25 kHz.  It includes information on new and emerging Land Mobile bands such as the 700, 800 and 900 MHz bands; preliminary information on narrowband and wideband data; 25, 50, 100 and 150 kHz channel bandwidths; and lastly addresses the methodology of minimizing intra system interference between current or proposed Noise Limited Systems in spectral and spatial proximity to Interference Limited Systems.  This revision of TSB-88.3-C is intended to add current user experiences to the specification.

The purpose of the TSB-88-C series of documents is to define and advance a standardized methodology to analyze compatibility of different technologies from a technology neutral viewpoint. They provide recommended technical parameters and procedures from which automated design and spectrum management tools can be developed to analyze proposed configurations that can temporarily exist during a “rebanding” migration process as well as for longer term solutions involving different technologies. These documents contain recommendations for both public safety and nonpublic safety performance that ought to be used in the modeling and simulation of these systems. These documents also satisfy the desire for a standardized empirical measurement methodology that is useful for routine proof-of performance and acceptance testing and in dispute resolution of interference cases that are likely to emerge in the future.

The stakeholders may include, but are not limited to: Public Safety and non-Public Safety PLMR users, consultants, equipment manufacturers, system integrators.

To inquire about participating in TIA standards developing efforts, please contact the TIA Technology & Standards Department at 703-907-7000 or via e-mail at standards@tiaonline.org.

A major function of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is the writing and maintenance of voluntary industry standards and specifications. These activities are carried out by the volunteer members of TIA engineering committees. On the public engineering committee pages (http://www.tiaonline.org/standards/committees/ ), users will find recent meeting reports, agendas and notices for upcoming meetings, as well as links to some of the most popular standards from each committee.
