IT in general

The Internet of Things (IoT) is predicted to become one of the most significant drivers of growth in various technology markets. Most current standardization activities are confined to very specific verticals and represent islands of disjointed and often redundant development. The architectural framework defined in this standard will promote cross-domain interaction, aid system interoperability and functional compatibility, and further fuel the growth of the IoT market. The adoption of a unified approach to the development of IoT systems will reduce industry fragmentation and create a critical mass of multi-stakeholder activities around the world.

The document aims on studying "DECT-2020: New Radio", a new radio interface based on state of the art paradigms able to offer the required data rates, propagation characteristics and spectrum efficiency, while maintaining compatibility with the carrier and time structure of the DECT band.

The document is focused on the Physical layer. DECT-2020, as defined by the present document, will be based on OFDM and may support space multiplexing (MIMO). The study focuses on:

1) Review of use cases and key application areas for DECT-2020.

2) Identification of methodology, initial sources, simulation tools and models.

3) Initial definition of "DECT-2020: New Radio" PHY layer, providing guidance for a following technical specification.

4) Preliminary simulation results and preliminary study on spatial multiplexing (MIMO).

The document presents a study of use cases and vertical scenarios for Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) intended to be used as base requirements for evolving DECT.

The proposed use cases can be classified as belonging to the following three major application areas:

• Home and Building Automation, including Smart Living;

• Industry automation - Factories of the Future, Industry 4.0;

• Media and entertainment industry - Programme Making and Special Events (PMSE).

A standardized framework for the Smart Appliances Reference Ontology based on the results of a European Commission Study Group on Smart Appliances ontologies and of a Specialist Task Force on the maintenance and evolution of the Reference Ontology taking into account all the interest of the relevant stakeholders.

DECT Ultra Low Energy (ULE) provides bi-directional radio communication with medium range, data protection, and Ultra Low Power consumption between different types of Portable Devices and Radio Fixed Parts.

This standard defines a protocol and procedures for the transport of timing over bridged and virtual bridged local area networks. It includes the transport of synchronized time, the selection of the timing source (i.e., best master), and the indication of the occurrence and magnitude of timing impairments (i.e., phase and frequency discontinuities). The PDF of this standard is available at the IEEEGET program. The "IEEE Get Program" grants public access to view and download individual PDFs of select standards at no charge.
