Product Description Introduction
1. Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
DS-6211 Lite Digital Trunking System (DS-6211) is a system tailored to the needs of the professional
users from the utility sector and business sector. It features versatile functions, flexible networking
capability and further development capability, satisfying the needs of different users and bringing them
new experience.
1.2 Standard Overview

1.2.1 DMR Overview
Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) is an international open standard released by the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) for the professional and commercial radio users in
Europe. It is ratified in 2005, and lately revised and released in 2007.
The standard adopts the 4FSK modulation scheme and is designed to operate within the 12.5 kHz
channel spacing. The two-slot TDMA implementation in DMR offers a spectrum efficiency of 6.25 kHz
per channel. And data is transferred at a rate of 9.6 Kb/s. The DMR standard covers three tiers: Tier I for
the European customer market, Tier II for the business and industry market; and Tier III for the
professional trunking market.
The technical specifications of the DMR standard are described in the table below.

Table 1-1 Technical Specifications of DMR Standard
1.2.2 DMR Highlights
Superior Audio Performance
DMR digital technology provides better noise rejection and preserves voice quality over a greater range
than analog, especially at the farthest edges of the transmission range. The digital processing is able to
screen out noise and re-construct signals from the degraded transmissions. Users can hear everything
being said much more clearly, and keep responsive to the changing situations in the field.
High Spectrum Efficiency
The two-slot TDMA implementation divides the 12.5 kHz channel into two time slots to support two
independent calls simultaneously, achieving a spectrum efficiency of 6.25 kHz per channel.
Long Battery Life
Battery life has always been one of the biggest challenges with the radio. In the past, there were limited
options for increasing the talk time on a single battery charge. The two-slot TDMA, however, offers a
good way forward. Since an individual call uses only one of the two time slots, it requires only half of the
transmitter’s capacity. The transmitter is idle half of the time, that is, whenever it’s the unused time slot’s
"turn". Compared with the analog technology, the battery can power the radio longer on a single battery
charge. Therefore, it needs to be charged at longer intervals, prolonging the battery life.
Large-cell Coverage
The transmitter adopts the large-cell coverage scheme, and requires less base stations (BSs). It has the
following advantages:
 Low network construction cost of signal coverage for a whole city.
 Low infrastructure expenditure and maintenance cost of the BSs.
 High network reliability with less network complexity.

Reliable Encryption
Communication on the analog channels can be eavesdropped on easily. With the digital technology and
encryption technology, however, the DMR standard can guarantee privacy and security of your
6
Product Description Introduction
communication. The DMR standard supports authentication and encryption technologies such as
end-to-end encryption.
Smooth Transition
The DMR system adopts the same constant envelope modulation technology as the MPT system, so
that the multi-mode design is achieved for the MPT system, DMR system and MS. In addition, the DMR
standard retains the technical features of the MPT standard, ensuring smooth transition from the MPT
system.
Interoperability
To guarantee intercommunication between the DMR systems from different manufacturers and to build
the nation-wide DMR network, the DMR standardization organization specifies the system
intercommunication standard, requiring the manufacturers to develop systems by abiding by the system
intercommunication standard. In this way, intercommunication between different DMR systems is
available.
Versatile Dispatch Functions
The DMR standard provides basic voice services such as individual call and group call, and data
services such as short data message, status message and, packet data and GPS data, satisfying the
needs of the professional users from the utility sector and business sector.

conventional-to-trunking upgrade.
 Versatile services
The trunking system can provide you with voice and data services, advanced services, and
industry-tailored services, which is subject to the license. The voice and data services include
individual call, group call, text message, status message, override/interrupt, and stun/revive, while
the advance services include full-duplex call, authentication, encryption, storage and forward, and
call forward. In addition, the API port is available, allowing you to develop useful applications
according to your actual needs.
 Modular design
The modular design allows the users to select appropriate hardware and software modules according
to their actual needs. In this way, the initial network construction cost is reduced, and the scalability of
the trunking system is ensured.
 Powerful system management capability
Adopting the standard SNMP, the trunking system supports versatile network management functions
such as subscriber management, performance management, configuration management, security
management, alarm management and fault management. These management functions can be
customized according to the actual needs.

4.1 Solution for Small Network
This solution provides basic wireless voice and data services, and allows connection to the network
management system, dispatch system, PSTN gateway etc. With this solution, the server (network
management server/DSS) applications or PSTN gateway applications are installed on BSCU, while the
client (NMC/LDS) applications are installed on the PC. The BS can run normally without a network
management system. In this case, the BS has to be connected to the PC via the Ethernet interface in
order to perform certain configuration and maintenance (e.g., subscriber creation). In this solution, no
core server is required and all switch control is performed by the BS.
This solution is suitable for a system consisting of no more than five BSs, saving space and hardware
cost.

Services
Product Description
5. Services
5.1 Mobility Management
Mobility management means to manage the location information of an MS and its service continuity,
including but not limited to Registration, Roaming and Handover.
5.1.1 Registration
Registration
Registration is a process during which an MS or LDS sends an access request to the trunking system
which, in response, determines the requester’s status and location information. Only those identified as
valid members of the trunking system have the access to corresponding services provided by the
system.
De-registration
De-registration means that the MS or LDS de-registers from the trunking system.
Periodic Registration
Periodic registration means that the trunking system periodically checks the status and location
information of the MS or LDS within a preset period of time. It facilitates the trunking system to update
the status and location information of an MS or LDS timely.
5.1.2 Roaming
Roaming is a process during which an idle MS roams from one BS coverage area to another. During the
roaming process, the MS needs to register with the new BS and report its location information to the
trunking system.
5.1.3 Handover
Handover is a process during which an MS engaged in a call moves from one BS coverage area to
another without disrupting the ongoing call.
Trigger Condition
Meeting one of the following three conditions, MS will enable handover:
 Signal strength of the current BS is lower than predefined threshold.
 RSSI (received signal strength indicator) of all the BSs involved in the call is too weak.
 Neighbor BSs do not have the traffic channel information of the BSs involved in the call.
Supported Call Types
The following types of call support handover:
30
Product Description Services
 Individual call between MSs
 Group call involving MS
 PSTN call involving MS
 Individual call between MS and LDS
 Full-duplex individual call

Features
 MS can switch to a BS, whether the BS is involved in the call or not.
 After the handover, MS is able to display the talker ID, apply for talk right, and end call.
 PSTN call supports handover to BSs not involved in the call.
 MS can handover in both fixed channel allocation mode and flexible channel allocation mode.
 Supports inter-system handover of full-duplex individual calls.
5.1.4 Dynamic Group Number Assignment (DGNA)

This feature allows an authorized LDS to dynamically create, modify or delete one or more temporary
groups over air interface as per actual needs, requiring no extra programming of the MS. It has the
following features:
 One MS can be assigned to different DGNA groups simultaneously.
 One DGNA group can include 100 members at most. The group members can only be MSs. The
DGNA group supports all services available to normal groups and can be called in the same way as
the normal groups.
 The DGNA group supports Late Entry feature in cross-MSO communication.
 The DGNA group supports encryption.
5.1.5 Multi-select Group Call

This feature allows the LDS to select multiple groups and MSs to form a group and then made a call to it.
Only the party who establishes the multi-select group can speak and the recipients can only listen.
It has the following features:
 Only the LDS can initiate a multi-select group call.
 The multi-select group call supports Interrupted and Override.
5.1.6 Control Channel Reselection

Control channel reselection means that the MS decides whether to re-register with control channel of a
target BS. The decision is made based on a comprehensive comparison of signal strength, priority and
31
Services
Product Description
etc between the current BS and the target BS, according to the MS’s configurations and broadcast
information from the trunking system.
Control channel reselection includes:
 Manual reselection
The MS user manually enters the control channel number of the target BS. Then the MS switches to
the target BS.
 Automatic reselection, including:
 Vote Now
The current BS broadcasts channel number of the control channel and priority information of an
adjacent BS to inform all idle MSs registered with it to evaluate signal quality of the control
channel of the adjacent BS. Then the informed MSs can determine whether to register with the
new BS or stay with the current BS.
 Adjacent BS Information Broadcast
The trunking system automatically and periodically broadcasts information on the adjacent BS to
the MSs, and the informed MSs will determine whether and when to switch to the target BS after
evaluating related information.
5.1.7 Subscriber-specific Area-based Service Restriction

This feature makes it possible to limit the services available to a local or roaming subscriber under
certain BSs. The BSs are divided into home area and non-home area. In these two different areas, the
subscriber’s access to certain services is subject to NMC configuration for the subscriber.
5.1.8 Dynamic BS Assignment

This feature is used to dynamically assign a traffic channel to members of a group call.
A group call may involve members from different areas covered by corresponding BSs. Since the
traditional trunking system cannot identify which BS each involved call member belongs to, all BSs are
required to allocate a traffic channel for the group call. This is a waste of channel resource for the BS
whose members are not engaged in the call. However, this is not a problem with this function, which
enables call-specific traffic channel allocation. In other words, only the BS whose members are involved
in a call needs to allocate a traffic channel, enhancing channel resource utilization.
5.1.9 BS Reselection upon Group Attachment Failure

If an MS trying to attach to a group fails because the service of this group is restricted under the BS with
which the MS is currently registered, the MS will send the trunking system a request applying for a list of
32
BSs imposing no restriction on the service of that group and then register with an ideal BS in the list
according to the reselection policy.
5.1.10 Group-specific Area-based Service Restriction

This feature is used to define the area in which the members of a group are allowed to make or receive a
call. The receiving area and transmitting area can be little, partially or entirely overlapped.
5.2 Voice Services

5.2.1 Individual Call
Half-duplex Individual Call
Half-duplex individual call is a peer-to-peer call. After the half-duplex individual call is established, only
one party can speak while the other party can only listen at the same time.
When both parties are under the same BS, they share one traffic channel. The half-duplex individual call
supports OACSU and FOACSU. The former means that the call can be put through automatically without
the called party making any operation. The later means that the call should be put through or terminated
manually by the called party.
Full-duplex Individual Call
It is a time division duplex voice call realized by the trunking system through offset mode. After the
full-duplex individual call is established, both the calling party and the called party can simultaneously
talk while listening. This call can be made between any two of MS, LDS, and PSTN. It has the following
features:
 The full-duplex individual call supports FOACSU mode only.
 The full-duplex individual call between the MS and PSTN\PABX terminal occupies one traffic
channel.
5.2.2 Group Call

Group Call
It is a half-duplex call initiated by one member to the other members in the group. The member can be
either the MS or the LDS. During the group call, only one member can talk at a time, i.e. only one
channel is allocated. The group call can be terminated by the initiating member only.
All Call
It is a one-way voice call initiated by any MS or LDS to all other MSs within the coverage of a BS, the
local area or the whole network. It has the following features:
 All Call is a special kind of group call.
33
Services
Product Description
 All Call is classified into BS-wide all call, local-wide all call, zone-wide all call and network-wide all call
according to the geographical distribution.
 The calling party can define the all call as either a broadcast call or a non-broadcast call.
 All call is classified into emergency all call, priority all call and normal all call by its priority. Emergency
all call can interrupt all ongoing calls (including emergency individual call) within the target area and
then get the resource to initiate an all call. Priority all call and normal all call cannot preempt other
subscribers. When the system is busy, priority all call is allowed to preempt the channel resources
according to its priority, while normal all call has to queue according to its priority.
 All call supports the following services: override, interrupt, monitoring and recording.
Broadcast Call
It is a special kind of group call made to the specified MS(s), allowing the initiating party to speak only.
It has following features:
 It is a one-way point-to-multipoint call initiated by an MS or an LDS.
 The talk right is granted to the initiating party only and the initiating party does not need to apply for
and release the talk right.
 It supports Late Entry.

Participant Group Attachment
This feature allows the MS to attach to a participant group. When a call is made to the participant group,
the BS will determine whether to allocate a traffic channel to this call according to whether the MSs
served by the BS are attached to that participant group, preventing channel resource waste.
Scan Group Attachment
This feature allows the MS to attach to a scan group included in a scan group list. The scan group list
consists of one or more scan groups associated with a group currently selected by the MS. The MS can
attach to a scan group only after it is successfully attached to the current group, and can make or receive
a group call (except for the emergency call) to or from the scan group only after it is successfully
attached to the scan group. If the current group changes, the MS will determine whether to perform the
Scan Group Attachment according to predefined policy or system instructions.
5.2.3 Priority
Priority
It is desirable to set priorities of multiple levels for the calls (individual call, group call, etc) and the
subscribers. During a group call, the high priority subscriber can take talk right from the low priority
34
subscriber.
The system processes the calls according to their priority levels, enabling the most critical one to access
the network quickly during busy period. When the system is busy, it will automatically terminate the low
priority call and allocate the resource to a call with a higher priority.
 Pre-emptive priority is used to establish a high-priority call, even when there is no resource available.
It allows you to terminate the call with a lower priority to release the resource.
 Super group call has relatively higher priority and pre-emptive priority. Only the most significant
member is allowed to initiate this call.
 Emergency call has relatively higher priority and also has pre-emptive priority.
 Normal call with relatively low priority can be made only when the channel resource becomes
available, while normal call with relatively high priority has pre-emptive priority.
 During a half-duplex individual call or group call, the subscriber with higher priority can press the
pre-programmed key to take talk right from the subscriber with low priority.
 Priority settings also take effect in cross-MSO communication. When subscribers in different MSOs
make the same group call, whether they get the talk right is subject to their priorities
Emergency Call
It is a call initiated by the subscriber to a fixed individual number, group number or dynamic individual
number in case of emergency.
 The subscriber can make an emergency call via the Emergency Button and can transmit without any
operation. Only the dispatcher is allowed to interrupt the subscriber’s speech.
 Alternatively, the subscriber can make an emergency call by dialing the emergency number. In this
case, other parties can speak after the initiating party ends his talk.
 The emergency call enjoys a relatively high call priority, and does not need to queue in case of
channel resource insufficiency. If all channel resources are occupied, the trunking system will
terminate a low priority call to release the channel resource for the emergency call.
 When an emergency call is made, any called subscriber, regardless whether it is involved in another
call, will be brought into the emergency call.
Super Group Call
It is a special group call with pre-emptive priority. Only the authorized LDS or MS is allowed to initiate
this call to the specified group designated by the trunking system. Once the super group call is
established, all ongoing calls in the system will be terminated, to ensure all members of the super group
to join this call immediately.
35
Services
Product Description
Priority Group
Priority group is an important group assigned with higher priority than the normal group. It can access
the channel resource in a quicker way. In this way, it is guaranteed that members in such group can
make immediate response in case of an emergency.
 The priority level ranges from 1 (lowest) to 4 (highest). You can change the priority level of the group
on the authorized MSs.
 If the subscriber involved in a non-emergency call receives a call from a group with higher priority, it
will exit the current call and join the new call.
 The priority group call has a lower priority than the emergency call and super group call.
 The priority group call supports cross-MSO communication.
 The LDS can monitor multiple priority group calls.
 The priority group call supports flexible channel allocation.
 Both BS and TSBS support priority group call.

Queue
If a subscriber attempts to initiate a normal call when all channels are occupied, he or she will be
informed to queue for there is no traffic channel available. When channel resource becomes available,
the trunking system will allocate the traffic channel based on the principle of "First Come, First Served".
The queuing time is subject to your customization.
 Queue is only applicable for the call initiated by an MS.
 A call in the queue can be canceled by either the calling party or the called party.
 Each call request in the queue is subject to a period of validity.
 The calls with the same priority level are processed on a first-in-first-out basis and the higher priority
calls can jump the queue.
 Only one of the calls made by the same MS can be kept in the queue.
Slave Group Call
This feature allows the trunking system to forcibly bring the master group’s members that are involved in
calls of the slave groups into a call made to the master group.
Please note that the DGNA group cannot be configured as the master group or slave group.
The members that can be preempted by the call made to the master group are divided into three types:
36
 Members engaged in a call of slave group.
 Members engaged in a call of slave group or in an individual call.
 All members engaged in active calls.

Reserved Call
It is a group call which will not be established unless all its group members have access to available
channel resources. In other words, when the group call is initiated, it will not be set up immediately
unless all of the BSs involved in this call can provide free traffic channel for the group members. With this
feature disabled, the group call will be established directly no matter whether all the group members
have access to the channel resource. If the group members have missed beginning of the call, they will
join this call by Late Entry or Group Call Merging.
 The reserved call is applicable to any group call service in the trunking system, including inter-system
group call service.
 After a reserved call is made, if the BSs involved in this call cannot provide any free traffic channel,
the calling MS will be prompted that the call is queued.
 The reserved call waits for group members that have already registered with the BS, but does not
wait for group members that have not registered with the BS yet.
 The reserved call does not wait for group members which have registered with BSs working in
fallback mode.
5.2.4 Supplementary Voice Services

Late Entry
Late entry allows a group member that has missed the call setup to join an in-progress group call later.
It is applicable to the following situations:
 The MS is turned on after the group call is established.
 The MS goes to the coverage area after the group call is established.
 The MS is busy with other call services on a traffic channel when the group call is established on
another traffic channel. After the MS finishes the current call, it will join the ongoing group call.
 The MS moves from a place with weak signals to a place with strong signals after the group call is
established.
 The MS is added to the group after the group call is established.

Product Description
Group Call Merging

This feature allows the trunking system to merge the subscriber, which initiates a call to a group having a
call, into this group as a group member.
 The group call merging feature is applicable to any group.
 The property of the group call always remains unchanged.

Call Display
After a call is initiated successfully, the call-related information will remain displayed on all participating
MSs until the call ends. This service helps you learn the call status of the current MS.
Caller Line Identity Presentation
It is a service available to the called MS. If this service is enabled, the number of the calling MS can be
shown on the display of the called MS. In this way, you can learn who is calling before answering the
incoming call.
Talking Party Identity
When an MS is authorized to speak after a group call is established, its number will be displayed on all
the members' display.
Call End Pre-alert
This is a countdown timer which, when triggered, enables the trunking system to inform the MS that the
ongoing call is to be ended. In this case, the MS will generate a pre-alert tone or activates the countdown
timer to remind the subscriber that this ongoing call is to be ended within a specific period of time.
Call Timer Customization
The system provides the timer to limit the call duration, PTT item or idle period for individual call, group
call and PSTN call, to prevent any subscriber from occupying the channel for long time. Once these
timers expire, the system will end the call.
The timer includes:
 Individual Call Timer
It allows you to set the total call duration for the individual call.
 Group Call Timer
It allows you to set the PTT item, idle period, MS-Line call duration and MS-MS call duration for the
group call.
38
Call timer can be customized for the roaming group in cross-MSO communication. It is not available
for the dynamic group, neither in intra-MSO communication nor in intra-MSO communication.
 PSTN Call Timer
It allows you to set the call duration and PTT item for the PSTN call.
Call Forwarding
This feature allows a call made to the called party to be forwarded to a new called party (e.g. MS,
PSTN/PABX terminal or LDS) during setup of the call.
Call forwarding can be initiated by means of one of the following modes: Busy, Unconditional, No
Response, Unreachable/Power Off.
Only the half-duplex individual call supports call forwarding.

Include Call
This feature allows an MS or LDS involved in an ongoing call to initiate a new call during idle period of
the current call. During setup of the new call, the current call remains. If the new call fails, the MS or LDS
will return to the current call. The include call is similar to the group call in talk right preemption and call
disconnection mechanisms.
Call Countdown Display
This feature allows the user to track how much time the ongoing call is left. The remaining time is
displayed on the screen of the MS.
 The remaining time shown on the screen of all MSs involved in the call is the same.
 The time format is mm:ss (e.g.02:34).
The countdown feature is applicable to all voice calls, including individual call, group call and PSTN call,
except for Ambience Listening call.

5.3 Data Services

5.3.1 Short Message
It is convenient to communicate via short message between MSs, or between the MS and the LDS.
 The trunking system supports storage and forwarding of the short message. When the called MS
cannot receive short message because it is involved in an ongoing call or is not turned on, the short
message will be stored in the short message center and sent to the MS after it is idle or turned on.
 The trunking system supports delivery receipt for individual short message call. After sending a short
message to an MS, the LDS will receive a receipt indicating whether the short message has been
successfully received by the MS.
40
 The short message can be sent by unicast or broadcast. Unicast allows the BS to send the short
message to only one MS at a time. In contrast, broadcast allows the BS to send the short message to
multiple MSs simultaneously.
5.3.2 Status Message

It is a predefined message transferred between the MSs or between the MS and LDS, to indicate the
current status of the MS. The quick text such as "Patrolling" and "Refueling" can be predefined for both
receiving and transmitting parties.
The length of the status message is 7 bytes at most and there are 128 status messages in total in the
trunking system. A portion of these status messages is system status messages or reserved for the
trunking system, while the remaining portion can be customized by the user.
5.3.3 Emergency Alarm

This feature allows the subscriber to initiate an emergency alarm to an LDS or an MS or a fixed group by
pressing the Emergency key or tilting the portable radio to a certain angle, and is enabled via MS
programming.
The emergency alarm, which is sent via a predefined status message, includes non-horn/light alarm and
horn/light alarm. If the MS is configured with the non-horn/light alarm, it will not give any indication after
this alarm is generated. Otherwise, the MS will give horn/light indication after the horn/light alarm is
generated, to indicate that the MS is in a hazardous circumstance.
5.3.4 Long Message

Long message is a text-based message having a length of greater than 22 characters and no greater
than 500 characters, carried on the traffic channel and transmitted between the MSs or between MS and
LDS.
 The trunking system supports storage and forwarding of the long message.
 The trunking system supports delivery receipt for individual long message call.
 The long message can be sent by unicast or broadcast.
 The long message can be sent in cross-MSO communications.
5.3.5 Data Application

Data application allows the data to be transferred between mobile radios or between mobile radio and
the third party application (e.g. data transmission center). In the data transmission mode, the traffic
channel is used to transmit the data only for large amount of transferred data and high data transfer rate.
41

Product Description
Third party applications can transfer UDT messages over the traffic channel and the dedicated data
transmission channel.
 The BS provides multiple dedicated channels for data transmission only to realize load balance.
 The mobile radio exits the data transmission mode manually.
 In the data transmission mode, the mobile radio supports basic services including background scan
and roam, and security service including ESN, authorization, stun and kill.
 Supports DNP3, ModBus, IEC60870 and UPD/TCP.
 The gateway supports local redundancy and offsite redundancy.
 One dedicated channel transfers data from 500 terminals at most.
 Support end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for the data transfer.
 The maximum size of a single packet is 3KB.
 Support the third-party data transferred cross-MSO at time specified by the third-party application.
 Supports priority for data services to guarantee timeliness of high-priority data.
 Specifies that the dedicated channels for transmitting emergency data of specific priority and normal
data must be two slots on the same carrier.
5.3.6 Channel List Update

Once some or all BSs are updated, the corresponding frequency information is synchronized with MSs
through the packet data. It allows you to update the frequency for MSs in batch simultaneously.
 It can manage the frequencies for some or all BSs.
 The system allows you to set the times for synchronizing the frequency to the MS.
5.3.7 OTAP
OTAP (over the air programming) allows you to remotely configure multiple MSs over the air in a simple
and convenient way.
 Before OTAP, the BS and MS authenticate each other by Hytera Soft Authentication.
 Hytera Soft Authentication is carried out on the control channel before sending the data packets.
42
 The Hytera Soft Authentication is bound with Token. The MS accepts OTAP only when the Hytera
Soft Authentication succeeds and the Token matches, in order to reduce any security risk.
 Only MS of version 8.1 or later supports Hytera Soft Authentication.
 A programming task can be customized as per the needs and scheduled to be executed.
 The trunking system supports storage and forwarding of the OTAP parameters.
 If the storage and forwarding feature is enabled and the OTAP fails, the OTAP can be retried based
on the system configurations.
 Support cross-MSO OTAP.
5.3.8 MS Positioning
GPS Polling
This feature allows the trunking system to obtain GPS information of an MS by sending it a GPS polling
command.
The GPS polling includes:
 Single GPS Polling: each time an MS receives a polling command transmitted over the control
channel, the MS will report to the trunking system its GPS data, including longitude, latitude, velocity
and etc.
 Periodic GPS Polling: you can subscribe periodic GPS polling for a particular MS. Upon successful
subscription, the system periodically sends a polling command to the MS and the MS reports its GPS
data until the subscription is canceled. In this mode, the GPS polling command is transmitted over
the secondary control channel. If the MS is configured to upload its GPS data during the call, the
enhanced GPS polling feature will not be available. The GPS data that can be periodically polled
includes RSSI, power strength, longitude, latitude, azimuth angle and etc.
Active GPS Reporting
It allows the MS to actively report its GPS information when certain conditions are met. The conditions
include time, distance, and a combination of time and distance. The reporting strategy can be configured
via CPS (Customer Programming Service) or over the air interface.
 GPS data subscription mode can be configured via the NMC.
 The number of channels (0 to 3) used for active GPS reporting in each BS can be configured via the
NMC.
43
Services
Product Description
 The trunking system must broadcast the GPS reporting channel number of the BS with which the MS
is currently registered.
Enhanced GPS Polling
It is an enhancement of the GPS polling service, allowing continuous tracking and positioning of MSs
which are members of a GPS group.
 Enhanced GPS polling is not supported by individual call.
 The call of the GPS group has the same priority as the normal group call and does not support
Queue.
 The MSs of the GPS group report the GPS data to the trunking system even when they are
undertaking intra-system handover or inter-system handover.
 The MS enabled with GPS polling feature will report the GPS data to the trunking system at the end
of the call, no matter whether it is a member of the GPS group or not.
Voice with GPS Data
This feature allows the voice with GPS data to be sent together. In other words, when the MS sends the
voice, its GPS data is also transmitted. The MS with the GPS feature sends the voice with its GPS data
during the individual call or group call.
5.3.9 RSSI Reporting

RSSI (received signal strength indicator) is an important factor for evaluating the network coverage. To
enable easier and quicker evaluation, it is desirable to configure the MSs to report its on-site RSSI in real
time.
The RSSI information (including uplink/downlink signal strength, BS information, and power mode of the
reporting MS) is reported together with the GPS information and displayed on the dispatch client. Since
the signal strength varies as the MS changes its location, only the MSs enabled with GPS polling feature
has the ability to report the RSSI and the interval for RSSI reporting is the same as that for GPS polling.
5.3.10 ESN Polling

ESN polling allows the NMC to retrieve ESN of MSs via the air interface.
 The MS whose ESN can be retrieved must have a valid account in NMC.
 The MSs whose ESN has not been stored in the NMC cannot be subjected to ISI update.
44
 The NMC will not be able to retrieve the ESN when the MS has been deregistered, powered off,
stunned, killed or has no signal.
 The trunking system supports ESN polling for multiple MSs simultaneously.
 The trunking system supports ESN polling for roaming MS and inter-system roaming MS.
5.3.11 Remaining Battery Capacity Reporting

It allows the MS to report its remaining battery capacity along with its GPS information.
 The LDS can display remaining battery capacity of the respective MSs on the map.
 The remaining battery capacity can be divided into four levels:
 Level 1: the remaining battery capacity is less than 10% of the total battery capacity
 Level 2: the remaining battery capacity is 10%-40% of the total battery capacity
 The remaining battery capacity information is attached with the GPS information and reported at an
interval the same with that at which the GPS information is reported.
5.3.12 BS Position Reporting

It allows the NMC to obtain geographic information of the BS having positioning module, save and
display the geographic information on the map.
Note
BSC623 supports the BS Position Reporting feature. However, if the base station controller uses
the DELL server, it must cooperate with an SEU to realize this feature.
5.3.13 IoT Data Transmission

It allows data collected by end devices to be transmitted to the data center for storage, analysis, and
processing through the private mobile radio (PMR) network. Priority-based data transmission is
supported to guarantee transmission of important data with high priority. It also specifies that the
dedicated channels for transmitting emergency data of specific priority and normal data must be two
slots on the same carrier.
 End Device Registration
45
Services
Product Description
Only an end device that has successfully registered with the BS can activate the transmission
channel between it and the IDC.
 Periodic Subscription
The IDC reads the data from the end device by a specified interval, realizing automatic data
acquisition and reduced cost.
 End Device Status Reporting
When the end device’s status changes, it sends a notification to the IDC, so that the IDC learns the
status and takes proper actions.
 Single Polling
IDC sends a data reading request to the end device to obtain latest data from the end device.
 Single Pushing
IDC sends a data writing task to the end device to program the end device with required data.
5.4 Security Services

5.4.1 Authentication
Authentication is the act of verifying the validity of the MS and trunking system by means of keys and
specific encryption algorithm. The authentication can be accomplished through three approaches: a) the
MS authenticates the trunking system; b) the trunking system authenticates the MS; and c) the MS and
the trunking system authenticate each other.
It includes: authentication made during the registration (power-up registration and registration due to
location update), authentication initiated by the trunking system (the NMC or LDS can authenticate a
certain MS at any time), and authentication made during MS stunning, reviving or killing. The
authentication made during the registration and the authentication initiated by the trunking system
enables the trunking system to authenticate the MS, while the authentication made during stunning
reviving or killing enables the MS to authenticate the trunking system.
Software-based Authentication
Software-based authentication is a specialty feature developed by Hytera using its customized
algorithms.
DMR Authentication
DMR authentication includes authentication made during the registration (power-up registration and
registration due to location update), authentication initiated by the trunking system, and authentication
made during MS stunning, reviving or killing. The authentication made during the registration and the
46
authentication initiated by the trunking system enable the trunking system to authenticate the MS, while
the authentication made during stunning reviving or killing enables the MS to authenticate the trunking
system.
5.4.2 ESN
ESN (Electronic Serial Number) is a unique identity of the MS and can be viewed by removing the
battery of an MS, or via the CPS.
The ESN is for the trunking system to authenticate the MS before granting it right to access system
services.
ESN Check
ESN check is a process of allowing the trunking system to check the validity of an MS during registration.
When the MS is making a registration, the trunking system will compare its ESN with the right one stored
in the database. As long as the two ESN match, the trunking system will permit that MS to register.
ESN Verification
ESN authentication is used to check validity of an MS. During the ESN verification, the trunking system
determines validity of the MS simply by comparing the check code sent from the MS with the right one
stored in the database.
5.4.3 Stun/Revive/Kill
Stun/Revive
 Stun
If an MS is lost, the LDS can stun it. When this MS receives the stun command, all functions
(including call and message services) will be disabled. However, its registration and GPS information
are still available to help you get the MS back.
 Revive
This feature allows an authorized party (LDS, or NMC) to activate a stunned MS for normal use.
Note
You can configure whether mutual authentication between the MS and the system is required for
performing stun command to avoid misoperation.
Kill
This feature allows an authorized party (LDS, or NMC) to kill an MS. The killed MS will be incapable of
any operation permanently, unless it is reprogrammed by a qualified dealer.
47
Services
Product Description
Note
You can configure whether mutual authentication between the MS and the system is required for
performing kill command to avoid misoperation.
5.4.4 End-to-End Encryption

End-to-end encryption is a protection mechanism which prevents the call or data transferred between
communication parties from being intercepted or read. By using the preconfigured key, the transmitting
party and receiving party are responsible for encryption and decryption respectively.
 MS, LDS and PSTN/PABX terminal can support the end-to-end encryption service.
 The end-to-end encryption service is applicable to voice and short message.
 The end-to-end encryption service supports Late Entry.
 The PSTN/PABX terminal only supports end-to-end encryption of the voice service.
Software-based End-to-End Encryption
It is an encryption technique developed by Hytera using its own technology and algorithms, featured by
reduced cost as compared with hardware-based encryption.
Hardware-based End-to-End Encryption
It is an encryption technique achieved via built-in encryption module of the MS. Only MSs with
encryption module support such encryption.
E2EE Group
If a group is enabled with E2EE feature, the voices and messages transmitted between its group
members, or between its group members and another calling party will be subjected to E2EE.
 Only the MS, LDS or PSTN/PABX terminal enabled with encryption feature is allowed to
make/receive an encrypted call to/from the E2EE group.
 The E2EE group can be designated as a dynamic group.

E2EE in Roaming
In cross-MSO communication where roaming occurs, the data service is encrypted for sake of security.
This service includes short message, single GPS polling, packet data, and data monitor.
The following table describes different encryption modes.
Mode Description
48
Features high processing speed and excellent crack-proof.
DMR Hard Encryption However, both the MS and BS must be equipped with dedicated and a
relatively expensive chip for encryption and decryption.
Features DMR standard-compliant algorithms for encryption and

decryption.
DMR Soft Encryption No dedicated hardware is required and it is a good alternative to users
with low budget. However, it is inferior to DMR hard encryption in terms
of security and processing speed.
Features Hytera’s own proprietary algorithms and complies with DMR

standard.
Hytera Soft Encryption No dedicated hardware is required and it is a good alternative to users
with low budget. However, it is inferior to DMR hard encryption in terms
of security and processing speed.
5.4.5 AIE
Air interface encryption (AIE) allows the raw data to be encrypted prior to being transmitted over the air
interface. Compared with E2EE, AIE provides additional protection for control channel signaling, traffic
channel signaling, and user ID. E2EE and AIE can be applied together to provide dual protection for
enhanced data security.
 Stream encryption is adopted.
 AES128 encryption algorithm is adopted.
 Subscriber not enabled with AIE cannot be added to the AIE group.
5.4.6 OTAR
Over the Air Rekeying (OTAR) is a method of distributing encryption keys to devices with encryption
feature in the system over the air. Keys used for Hytera soft encryption and DMRA soft encryption are
distributed and managed by the Key Distribution Management Center (KDMC). KDMC provides features
including key injection, key generation, key storage, key distribution, key revoke, key backup, and key
export.
The keys may be distributed to:
 A system so that all users in the system share one set of keys.
 A group so that each group has a unique key.
49
Services
Product Description
 An organization so that each organization has a unique key.
OTAR has the following features:
 The KDMC is stand-alone and capable of updating and revoking keys.
 The KDMC client must support dongle-based access control.
 The updating and revoking of keys must be manually performed, and the radios support built-in key
revoking feature.
 The keys are subject to dual encryption protection. In other words, the keys are encrypted with
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256 for both storage and transfer.
 Only one key exists in the system, and the keys for the system and the terminal are the same. The
KDMC generates the key automatically, besides, user can configure the key manually too. The
terminal can configure the key via CPS.
5.5 System Reliability

5.5.1 Fallback
BS Fallback to Single-site BS Mode
If the BS disconnects from the MSO, it will continue to work in stand-alone mode locally and broadcast a
message to the MSs over the air interface, indicating that the link between the BS and MSO has failed.
In this case, the basic trunking functions (for example, group call, priority call and emergency call, etc.)
run as normal; the ongoing call within the BS can continue; no registration information may get lost, and
new MS can still make registration (however, its identity and validity can't be verified due to link error).
Once the link is restored, the BS will work normally
CHU Fallback to Conventional Repeater Mode
In the case that the CHUs configured as main and slave control channels malfunction, the remaining
normal CHUs in the BS will work in repeater mode. The CHUs will remain activated in the two downlink
timeslots to assist the MSs to find conventional channels and notify the MSs of the current operation
mode. When the CHUs configured as main and slave control channels are recovered, they will work in
trunking mode again.
TSBS Fallback Plan
TSBS fallback plan allows you to make plans for situations where TSBS disconnection occurs, in order
to guarantee network coverage and communication continuity. Once a TSBS disconnects from MSO, its
neighbors adjust their operating parameters such as TX power according to plan to reduce the coverage
hole.
50
5.5.2 Redundancy
MSO Local Redundancy
Note
Only centralized MSO supports local redundancy.
It provides local redundancy for core components in the same MSO (including core switch, core router,
central control server, switch server, network management server and dispatch server). If any master
component malfunctions, the slave one will take over its services immediately. In this way, the normal
operation of MSO is ensured. Both of the master and slave MSOs are configured with the same IP
address. Consistency of data (including current data, backup files and program files, etc) kept in the
database must be ensured between the master and slave MSOs.
Switch between the master MSO and slave MSO can be performed manually or automatically.
 The automatic switch enables the slave MSO to automatically replace the master MSO when the
latter fails, ensuring continuous operation of the system.
 The manual switch is particularly suitable when it is desired to perform operations such as
maintenance and upgrade during operation of the trunking system.
MSO Offsite Redundancy
Note
Only centralized MSO supports offsite redundancy.
Offsite redundancy is to deploy two identical sets of MSO (including core switch, core router, central
control server, switch server, network management server, DSS, MTU, PSTN gateway and
authentication server) and various application servers (including DSS, RS and GPS application server)
at two different geographic locations. If one MSO (or any of its key components) malfunctions, the
remote LDS (including remote DSS), the remote NMC and the BS can switch to work with the slave
MSO. Data consistency must be ensured between the master and slave MSOs. Switch between the
master MSO and slave MSO can also be performed manually or automatically.
The remote LDS, remote NMC, remote DSS and BS should be configured with both the IP address of
the master MSO and the IP address of the slave MSO. Only one MSO operates at a time and all the
services are handled by this operating MSO.
Enhanced MSO Redundancy
This feature provides both local redundancy and offsite redundancy for enhanced data security.
51
Services
Product Description
 Supports centralized redundancy and distributed redundancy.
 Supports link redundancy.
 Supports local active/standby failover plus offsite redundancy without active/standby failover.
BSCU Redundancy
BSCU redundancy is to provide the same BS with a slave BSCU that has the same configurations as the
master BSCU except for the IP address. When the master BSCU malfunctions, the slave BSCU will take
over its services immediately to ensure service continuity.
The two BSCUs must be powered at the same time and only one of them operates at a time.
An alarm is given to inform the NMC operator when switch between the master and slave BSCUs
occurs.
Control Channel Redundancy
A CHU in the BS can be configured as a secondary control channel via the NMC. If the main control
channel malfunctions, the secondary control channel will take over its tasks immediately to ensure
normal operation of the system.
 The main and secondary control channels provide redundancy for each other. Once one fails, the
other will take over its tasks immediately. If both of them fail, the one which is recovered first will work
as the main control channel.
 When it is necessary to switch from the main control channel to the secondary control channel and
there is an active call on the secondary control channel, this call will be terminated while services on
other channels will not be affected.
 In the event of BS with only two CHUs, if the main control channel fails, the secondary control
channel will be activated. Whether the secondary control channel will be used as a service channel is
subject to the NMC configurations.
 An alarm is given to inform the NMC operator when switch between the master and slave MCCH
occurs.
PSU Redundancy
One PSU includes two power modules with hot-swap feature. Normally, the two modules share the load
to enhance their service life and MTBF. When one fails, the other will immediately take over its task.
5.5.3 Control Channel Rotation

Control channel rotation is used to change the control channel at interval, to prolong the CHU lifespan
52
and improve the BS stability.
It has the following strategies:
 Non-forced rotation: When it is time to rotate the control channel but the slave control channel is
occupied, it needs to wait until the ongoing service on the salve control channel is terminated. If the
predefined waiting time expires, the rotation is failed.
 Forced rotation: The control channel is rotated forcibly on time, no matter whether the slave control
channel is occupied.
 The control channel is shifted at interval every day.
 The rotation time is the off-peak time at night by default.
 Only the slave control channel working properly can be shifted to the control channel.
 The slave control channel must work properly to be shifted to the control channel.
5.5.4 Multiple Control Channels

This feature allows a single BS to provide multiple control channels to handle concurrent service
requests from many MSs. It is a new way to mitigate the excessive traffic load conventionally placed on
a single control channel.
5.5.5 Registration over Multiple Traffic Channels

This feature allows the traffic channels and control channels in a single BS to process registration
request from a large number of MSs simultaneously. It greatly reduces the waiting time for registration.
5.5.6 UPS
The UPS (Uninterruptible Power System) can supply power to the system in case of commercial power
outage.
If a low battery alarm is received when the UPS is operating in battery mode, the NMC will notify all NEs
in the trunking system to save current work and prepare for power-off; if the commercial power becomes
available, the NMC will notify all NEs to start working.
5.5.7 ABX
Alarm box (ABX) is a device mounted at the top of BS cabinet for collecting internal alarms such as
lightning arrester alarms and cabinet door alarms, and external alarms such as humidity alarms and
temperature alarms. All these alarms are reported to the system for analysis, ensuring safe and reliable
operation of the system.
53
Services
Product Description
5.5.8 Interference Detection

The CHU compares the RSSI with an alarm threshold to determine whether to report an alarm to the
system (or cancel an alarm).
It includes DMR channel interference detection and FB6 channel interference detection
DMR Channel Interference Detection
In terms of severity, the alarm is divided into warning, minor alarm, major alarm and critical alarm.
If the number of alarms detected within the defined time period exceeds the preset value, the CHU will
enter the fallback mode, in which the CHU will be deactivated if the alarm arises from the traffic channel
or the CHU’s tasks will be taken over by the slave MCCH (if any) if the alarm arises from the master
MCCH. When the alarm count detected during the defined time period goes below the preset value later,
the CHU will resume its normal operation.
FB6 Channel Interference Detection
FB6 channels, as per FCC regulation and definition, are shared channels used by multiple MSs
simultaneously. It may result in interference. This feature provides a mechanism to prevent such
interference by disabling or enabling the CHU based on detection of the interference.
5.5.9 Frequency and Timeslot Offset Control

The feature allows the MSs to always operate at the correct frequency or timeslot. When the MS makes
or receives a call, the BS sends it a message indicating the correct call parameters such as frequency
and timeslot. The MS then compares the currently selected frequency and timeslot with those indicated
in the received message. If an offset exists, the MS makes quick correction. This prevents the MS
selecting a wrong frequency or timeslot in case of poor signal quality or interference.
5.5.10 Alarm Forwarding

An alarm message can be sent to a specified MS or mobile phone or an email address for quick
response.
 To enable alarm forwarding, it is necessary to configure the alarm-related parameters including

Severity, Alarm List, Occurrence Time, etc.
 The message content is customizable.
 The message can be sent to an MS in the system or a mobile phone.
5.5.11 Operator Contract Import via NMC

This feature allows the operator to put the information on its particular client’s (e.g., company’s)
54
individuals, groups and correspondence between the individuals and groups into an excel file, which can
then be imported into the NMC, facilitating the update of company-specific information.
 The companies are managed as nodes in the VPN (Virtual Private Network).
 It is supported to screen and export the information on individuals and groups into an excel file by
nodes in the VPN.
 Each node in the VPN represents a company.
 When the contract is created, the corresponding company will be configured with a validity period.
Upon expiration of this validity period, the trunking system will not provide any service to the
company.
5.5.12 Link Detection

It is to monitor the status of bearer network link between two NEs. In case of communication failure or
delay between two NEs, the data between them will be collected to analyze the running status of bearer
network.
 The NEs to be monitored can be selected flexibly.
 The status of the monitored link is recorded in real time.
 Packet loss, jitter rate and time delay of the link data between two NEs will be measured and
displayed in graphs.
 When the monitored link breaks, an alarm will be generated.
 When communication port between BS and MSO, between MSOs, between MSO and authentication
server, and between TSBSC and TSBSC controller does not work, an alarm will be generated on the
NMC for identifying the problem.
5.5.13 Channel Monitor

It enables the user to view channel utilization of each BS via corresponding interface of the NMC or LDS.
On the basis of the monitoring results, the LDS can interrupt, override or listen to the call on a certain
channel.
 Both of the control channel and traffic channel can be monitored.
 The information on a call on the traffic channel, such as calling party ID, called party ID, call type, etc
can be displayed in real time.
55
Services
Product Description
 The running status of the channel can be monitored, including Idle, Busy, Isolated, Invalid and
Unknown.
 RSSI of each channel being used can be monitored.
5.5.14 Organization Management

This feature allows you to manage the subscribers in the system through organization structure, and
reduces disturbance from other organizations. Each subscriber is assigned to an organization, or VPN
(virtual private network).
LDS VPN
The VPN (virtual private network) in LDS defines the MSs and groups that can be managed by the LDS.
 The administrator assigns different roles to different normal users.
 Any MS, group or LDS belongs to an organization node.
 An organization node is designated to be managed by a certain LDS and all children nodes of this
organization node are designated to be managed by the same LDS by default.
 LDS VPN supports cross-MSO authorization.

Subscriber VPN
This feature helps the system determine whether to set up an individual call. The call will be established
only when the calling and called subscribers belong to the same organization, or the called subscriber
belongs to a sub-organization of the organization to which the calling subscriber belongs. This prevents
subscribers homed to one organization from disturbing or being disturbed by those homed to another
organization.
NMC VPN
The VPN in NMC defines the MSs, groups and LDSs that can be managed by the NMC.
 NMC has two kinds of users: administrator and normal user. The administrator is able to view and
manipulate all the system devices and the normal users, while the normal user is only able to view
and manipulate the MSs, groups and LDSs governed by the designated VPN, but cannot create a
subscriber account and modify the subscribers’ organization.
 Only the administrator is able to create an account for the MSs, LDSs and groups and assign them to
a certain VPN.
56
 The administrator configures the normal user with one or more VPNs that can be managed by this
normal user.
 The normal user is not allowed to add, modify or delete the VPNs in the system.
 Support cross-MSO authorization.

Channel Management
This feature allows you to assign a channel to a specific subscriber, group, or organization. A channel
assigned to the specific subscriber, group, or organization is called a dedicated channel. The dedicated
channel can only be used by the associated subscriber, group, or organization. This ensures normal
communication for the specific subscriber, group, or organization in case of service busyness or channel
resource insufficiency.
 The channel resource is assigned in a minimum unit of timeslot.
 The channel resource can be assigned to a subscriber, a group, or an organization.
 The dedicated channel can only be used by its associated subscribers, groups, or organizations.
 One subscriber, group, or organization can be assigned with one or more channels. Also, one
channel can be assigned to multiple subscribers, groups, or organizations.
 The Channel Management feature and Organization feature can be enabled simultaneously, or
independently.
 This feature is applicable to trunking BS, Cube BS, and TSBS.
5.5.15 Current Group Query

This feature allows you to, via the NMC, query the group to which an MS is assigned. The query result
can assist you in analyzing the possible cause why the MS failed to receive a group call.
5.5.16 Group Member Filtering

The LDS can filter the available group member s based on the filter conditions, to enable you to visualize
their location on the map. It helps you dispatch the right people to handle the emergency quickly.
 The status and location of group members are displayed on the map.
 The group member can be filtered by the current group, background group, response group and scan
group.
5.5.17 Health Assessment

Health assessment is to monitor running status of the respective NEs in the trunking system via the NMC,
57
Services
Product Description
facilitating the user to detect any potential problems in the system.
 It can monitor running status of NEs such as BS, MSO, etc.
 The colors of the monitored NEs represent their health conditions. For example, red means unhealthy,
orange means sub-healthy and green means healthy.
 Health conditions of the entire system are assessed based on the respective NEs’ health conditions,
while the health conditions of the respective NEs are evaluated on the basis of their key parameters.
5.5.18 Offline BS Statistics

This feature allows the BS to store its service-related statistics in case of disconnecting from the MSO,
preventing the loss of these important data.
 The service-related statistics collected during offline period can be stored in a CF card installed in the
BS, or an independent server.
 After the BS is connected to the MSO again and its service-related statistics are synchronized to the
MSO, such statistics that have already been synchronized will be deleted from the BS.
 The service-related statistics can be exported.
 The synchronization status of the offline statistics can be checked via the NMC.
5.5.19 BS Erlang Analysis

An Erlang is a unit of telecommunications traffic measurement to help understand traffic patterns within
the voice networks.
 The BS Erlang analysis can be made at two different intervals, i.e., 15 minutes or 1 hour.
 All services involving the traffic channel, such as voice call and data call, are subject to the Erlang
analysis.
 The Erlang analysis can be performed on a BS which has once disconnected from the MSO,
provided that the BS has been enabled with Offline Statistics feature and the corresponding offline
statistics have been synchronized with the MSO later on.
5.5.20 Channel Usage Statistics

The NMC provides statistics on usage of the control channel (uplink and downlink) and traffic channel of
a certain BS. It helps you identify potential problems before they impact service.
58
Statistics exceeding the limit indicates that the BS is overloaded. In this case, measures must be taken
to solve the problem. Such measures include blocking certain subscriber’s access to BS services,
terminating the ongoing call with low-priority, and expanding the BS carrier capacity.
5.5.21 Online Subscriber Peak Statistics

The NMC provides statistics on the number of online subscribers for each hour of the day in a certain BS
or system. It helps you understand the network traffic pattern and decide whether to increase the system
capacity.
5.5.22 BS Carrier Expansion

This feature allows carrier capacity expansion of a certain BS by cascading it with other BSs.
 Both emergent expansion and permanent expansion are supported.
 Emergent expansion satisfies temporary demand for more channel resources with certain
coverage.
 Permanent expansion increases channel resources in the entire system for the increasing
traffic.
 The expansion is easy and simple.
 At most 24 carriers can be cascaded.
5.5.23 Control Channel Auto-sleep

The feature allows the control channel to stop transmitting and enter sleep mode when it is not carrying
services such as short message, status message etc. This reduces interference to other signal sources.
5.5.24 Composite Control Channel

This feature allows a control channel to work as a traffic channel. With this feature enabled, the control
channel can be temporarily switched to traffic channel mode to help process voice call services. After the
call ends, it is switched to work as control channel again. This feature is suitable for BSs with limited
carriers.
 This feature is applicable to both single-carrier and multi-carrier BSs.
 This feature is applicable to the TSBS.
 The control channel only supports voice service when it works as the traffic channel.
 The MS can initiate or receive emergency voice call when the control channel is occupied
59
Services
Product Description
5.6 Other System Services

5.6.1 Service Control
Service control enables the trunking system to control the services available to the MSs in a centralized
way, dispensing with the need to modify the multiple MSs one by one. The services subject to control
include individual call, group call, individual short data call, group short data call, short message, periodic
GPS polling and late entry.
 The permission configuration takes effect from the next call, i.e., the current ongoing call will not be
affected.
 If the short data message service is restricted, the trunking system will reject the service request from
the MS and will not store the message. In addition, the previously stored short data message will be
deleted and not forwarded.
 The service control is not applicable to LDS and emergency call.
5.6.2 License
The trunking system functionality cannot be used until it is licensed, and the trunking system features
include free and charging ones.
The license is subject to a validity period which can be preset and modified. Also, the license can be set
to be permanently valid. Upon expiration of the license, all the system services will be disabled and the
devices satisfying the system specifications will be disallowed to access the system.
 One MSO has one license file. The BS and NMC obtain license information from the MSO.
 The license file is encrypted to protect it from being tempered.
 The license file is bound to the MSO server or USB dongle.
 The NMC issues a reminder 30 days before expiration of the license.
 The updated license takes effect after the MSO is restarted.
 All subscribed services become invalid when the license expires and resume after the license is
renewed.
 A new license must be obtained if the major version of MSO upgrades from a low version (for
example, R5.3) to a higher version (for example, R6.0).
60
 In the case that the MSO redundancy is adopted, both the master and slave servers will share the
same license file.
 Serial number of the dongle for OTAR client computer is added to the license file. To access the
OTAR application, the serial number of the dongle inserted into the OTAR client computer must be
identical with that included in the license.
5.6.3 Listening
This feature allows an authorized LDS to track and listen to voices and events of a certain MS or group.
In general, all voices from the monitored MS will be forwarded to the LDS. The events include
registration event (registration/de-registration), call event (call initialization, call setup, call end), location
update, PTT press, PTT release, message sending and receiving, etc.
 The trunking system outputs voice data and event information of the listened MS or group to the LDS
in real time.
 The listened target is an ongoing call carried out by MSs or groups.
 The implementation of listening service is independent of other services, namely, the LDS can initiate
listening service while handling other services.
 One call can be listened to by multiple authorized LDSs simultaneously.
 The LDS can perform listening on any MSs in cross-MSO communication.
5.6.4 Ambience Listening

This feature allows an authorized LDS to listen to the ambient sound of an idle MS, so as to enhance the
subscribers’ safety. However, the listened MS will not receive any audible or visible indication that it is
being listened.
 When the MS makes a call, the ongoing ambience listening will be terminated automatically.
 Like emergency call, the emergency listening has top priority and cannot be interrupted.
 Only the MS (including the stunned one) can be listened.
 As the ambience sound is generally lower than the speech volume, the MS being listened should be
enabled with high-gain MIC.
 The MS engaged in an ongoing call cannot be listened.
 In cross-MSO communication, the LDS can perform ambience listening on any MSs.
 TSBS supports cross-MSO ambience listening.
61
Services
Product Description
5.6.5 Interrupt
This feature allows the authorized LDS or MS to forcedly interrupt the active talk and start speaking. One
MS can be granted with the right to interrupt multiple groups.
 When the LDS is involved in multiple calls, it can interrupt only one of these calls at a time.
 A high-priority MS can preempt talk right from a low-priority MS.
 The LDS can not interrupt the active call before entering listening mode.
 The calls involving PSTN/PABX terminals cannot be interrupted.
 In cross-MSO communication, the LDS or authorized MS can interrupt the ongoing call.
5.6.6 Override
This feature allows the authorized LDS to forcibly terminate the ongoing call and release the channel
resources. The calls that can be overridden include half-duplex individual call, PSTN/PABX call, group
call and full-duplex individual call.
The authorized LDS can terminate any ongoing call on the traffic channel.
In cross-MSO communication, the LDS can override ongoing calls.
5.6.7 Group Patch

This feature allows an authorized LDS to merge multiple groups into a temporary group, which can be
disbanded when it is not needed any more. The patched group is allocated with one traffic channel under
each BS. When a call is made to any member of the patched group, all other members will receive this
call. The LDS is allowed to perform various operations on the patched group, such as binding,
disbanding, querying, etc.
Group binding means that the LDS selects a group as the base group and brings one or more groups
into this base group. The GSI of the base group is the unique identifier of the patched group in the
trunking system.
Group disbanding is to disband the entire patched group, or remove one or more member groups from
the patched group. When the base group is removed or all other member groups except for the base
group are removed, the entire patched group will be disbanded.
Group querying enables you to query the information of all member groups by the GSI of any member
group.
62
 At most eight groups can be patched together.
 Only the normal groups (except for the dynamic group and super group) can be patched and one
group can be a member of one patched group only.
 The patched group supports voice service only and supports handover, late entry, E2EE, recording,
listening features.
 Supports cross-MSO group patch.
5.6.8 System-wide Recording

This feature allows the recording system to record calls in the trunking system. The trunking system
provides data of the user plane (i.e., voice data) and data of the control plane (i.e., data regarding call
initialization, call setup, PTT grant, PTT release, call end) to the recording server. The trunking system
can be configured with multiple recording servers, however, at most 32 recording clients are allowed to
record simultaneously.
Also, the recording servers support playback of the recordings.
5.6.9 BS-wide Recording

This feature allows calls across the BS to be recorded. The BS-related information is transmitted to and
recorded by the recording server. These recordings can be converted into user-recognizable
information.
What is recorded includes voices, call setup signaling, connection signaling, disconnection signaling, MS
online/offline status, text message, long message and status message.
 The BS-wide recording is directed to a single BS only.
 Encrypted calls and encrypted messages can be recorded.
 The BS-wide recording does not require subscription and does not support subscription to recording
of a specific MS.
 One BS can be recorded by up to two recording servers simultaneously.
 The recording process does not affect the ongoing calls and does not require response from the
recording server.
 For a BS in single-site mode, recording of long message is not supported.
5.6.10 Power Control

This feature allows the system to dynamically regulate the transmission power of the MS, achieving
optimal communication and prolonged battery life.
63
Services
Product Description
5.6.11 Missed Call Reminder by SMS

This feature allows the trunking system to send a short message to the called party informing that an
individual call has been missed. The short message includes information on the calling and called
parties, as well as the call time. If the called party has been bound to a mobile phone number, the
trunking system will also send the short message to the mobile phone number, such that the called party
can make quick response.
When the PSTN/PABX terminal makes a call to a mobile phone which is configured to forward the call to
a DMR telephone gateway, the system will try to call the MS bound to the mobile phone by using
Secondary Dial Plan if this call fails because the mobile phone is offline or busy. If the called MS is busy
or not reachable, the system will send a short message to the MS.
The individual call may fail for the following reasons:
 The called party is offline or powered off.
 Paging the called party times out because, for example, the called party is in an area having poor
signal strength.
 The called party is busy, for example, it is involved in a call or downloading data.
 The MS is not entitled to answer the call made by the PSTN/PABX terminal.
5.6.12 Participant BS Binding

A group can be bound with a list of designated participant BSs. When a call is initiated to this group, all
the participant BSs must allocate channel resource to this group call. This feature can avoid call drop
and enhance voice quality during handover.
 The non-participant BSs will allocate channel to the group call dynamically.
 If a call is made to the group from a non-participant BS and currently there are group members
staying on a participant BS, all the participant BSs will allocate channel to the group call.
 If a call is made to the group from a non-participant BS and currently there are no group members
staying on a participant BS, the participant BSs will dynamically allocate channel to the group call.
 The call involving participant BSs does not support Group Patch feature.
5.6.13 Trunked Simulcast Base Station

Trunked simulcast base station (TSBS) refers to a group of BSs which use the same pair of TX and RX
frequencies. These BSs can transmit and receive on the exact same frequencies, to save frequency
resource and enhance spectrum utilization. In this sense, this feature is particularly suitable for
64
deploying the trunking system in the place where the frequency resources is insufficient.
According to the frequencies used, the TSBSs which utilize the same pair of TX and RX frequencies are
divided into the same common-frequency group. Each common-frequency group is managed by a
trunked simulcast base station controller (TSBSC) which is deployed in the MSO and supports local
redundancy. Also, the concept "virtual subnet (VSN)" is introduced to efficiently manage the CHUs, and
the CHUs using the same pair of TX and RX frequencies are grouped into the same VSN.
The figure below shows the relationship among TSBS, TSBSC and VSN.

5.6.14 MS Categorization
This feature allows the user to classify the MSs into two categories, i.e., category A and category B as
per your needs. MSs in both category A and category B can operate normally under a BS properly
connected to the MSO. However, MSs in one or both of the categories will be disallowed to operate
under the BS disconnected from the MSO.
 The MSs can be categorized via the CPS.
 In the case where a connected BS becomes disconnected, the MSs disallowed to work under it may
reselect to register with another connected BS. If there is no proper connected BS, the MSs will not
be served.
65
Services
Product Description
 Upon detection of an available connected BS, the MSs that are currently not served will register with
such BS immediately.
5.6.15 Multiple Frequency Bands within Same System

Multiple BSs working at different frequency bands are allowed to coexist in the same trunking system. As
the BS contains multiple CHUs with the same frequency, the frequency band used by the BS will be
subject to the frequency of CHU. Currently, the CHU can operate in six different frequency bands
including: UHF1 (400-470MHz), UHF2 (450-520MHz), UHF3 (330-400MHz), UHF5 (806-941MHz),
VHF3 (210-270MHz) and VHF (136-174MHz).
5.6.16 Standby Time Display

The trunking system broadcasts to the MS the time information, including month, date, hour, minute, and
second. Upon reception of the broadcast time, the MS will display it in designated time format on the
standby screen.
 The broadcast time is subject to local clock and time zone configurations.
 The trunking system can broadcast to MS the local time or UTC time, the former being the default.
 By default, the time format displayed on the screen of the MS is hh:mm.
 If the time displayed on the MS is different from that broadcast by the trunking system, the latter shall
prevail.
5.6.17 Network-wide Time Slot Synchronization

Network-wide time slot synchronization is used to synchronize the time slot of BS with that of MS. When
the MS changes the channel, this feature makes it possible to shorten the waiting time and increase the
voice quality. Users maybe enable or disable the synchronization according to need.
5.6.18 DST
Daylight saving time (DST) or summer time is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months
by one hour so that evening daylight lasts an hour longer, while sacrificing normal sunrise times.
The system supports manual and automatic DST adjustment.
5.7 Gateway
5.7.1 MPT-DMR Call (group call)
This feature allows for calls between the MPT system and DMR system with the aid of gateway.
66
 An individual call can be directly made via the PSTN/PABX gateway, and both of CPS-P3 and DMR
Dial Scheme are supported.
 A group call can be made via the MPT-DMR gateway.
5.7.2 PSTN/PABX-DMR Call

This feature allows for calls between the DMR system and PSTN/PABX with the aid of PSTN/PABX
gateway or the standard SIP protocol
5.7.3 Simulcast-DMR Call

This feature allows for calls between the DMR system and the simulcast system with the aid of
DMR-Simulcast gateway.
5.8 Inter-system Features

Currently, the following inter-system features are supported: roaming, periodic registration,
de-registration, late entry, slave group call, status message, short message, long message, individual
call, PSTN/PABX-DMR call, provincial-level group call, hardware-based encryption (voice), E2EE,
listening, ambience listening, override, group attachment, current group monitoring, priority group call,
patch group, DGNA, resource allocation, handover, GPS polling, OTAR, OTAP, ESN check,
authentication, and stun/revive/kill.
5.8.1 Roaming Subscriber Management

Roaming subscriber is the subscriber who roams to the local system from external systems. Roaming
subscriber management allows roaming subscriber to register with the local system. The roaming
subscriber's information, including registration, call history, location and recordings can be viewed in the
local system.
5.8.2 Cross-system Group Call Blacklist and Whitelist

This feature is a limitation to the cross-system group call. If the cross-system group call blacklist is enabled,
the group in the blacklist can only initiate a call within the local system and cannot initiate a cross-system call,
while the group out of the blacklist does not have such limitation. If the cross-system group call whitelist is
enabled, the group in the whitelist can initiate a cross-system call while the group out of the whitelist can only
initiate a call within the local system.
5.9 Protocols and Interfaces

Product Description Reliability
7. Reliability
7.1 System Reliability
For details, see "5.5 System Reliability".
7.2 Hardware Reliability

 The CHU is featured by redundancy mechanism and isolation mechanism. When one CHU
malfunctions, it will be isolated by the system automatically, to ensure the other CHU to operate
normally.
 The critical data is stored in non-volatile memories and backed up in foreground and background
databases for data security.
 The electronic parts are strictly tested, selected and assembled, to ensure high stability and reliability.
7.3 Software Reliability

The system is reliable especially for its excellent fault-soft performance from the following aspects:
 Distributed Architecture
The BS with a call control module and a database has superior computing capability, enabling it to
share the work load of the MSO significantly. In case the MSO or its link gets faulty, the BS can still
work normally and communications within its coverage will not be affected.
 Task Monitoring
The system can monitor all software errors and certain hardware faults when the software is running.
It allows checking the task progress, clearing the system errors and generating a report.
 Data Verification
The system can verify the data on a regular or event-driven basis, restore the data optionally or
preferentially, and output the logs and alarms.
 Work Log
The system can record the operation information and store it in the work log, which help locate the
errors and restore the system to normal operation.
 Traffic Control
The system can perform its internal traffic control as well as port traffic control. When the system load
reaches its maximum degree, a series of measures will be executed automatically to allay it.
