Introduction

Introduction

This guide explains the necessary preparations for the installation of a DECT IP multi-cell system and how to take measurements for the optimum positions of the base stations. It also provides some technical and practical background information.

Key Tasks for Deployment

Analyze Requirements

1.Confirm the requirements.

2.Collect environmental information.

Estimate the Base’s Position

1.Create a planningdrawing.

2.Positionthe base stations inthe planningdrawing.

Take Measurements

Take measurements,andrecordthe results.

Deploy the Multi-Cell System

Install the base stations basedonthe measurement results.

DECT Transmission Glossary

LA (List Access)

All menus access by the handset that needs to interact with the base station.

WB (Wide Band)

One base station supports a maximum of four active handsets.

NB (Narrow Band)

One base station supports a maximum of eight active handsets.

Synchronization Technology

The base stations in a multi-cell DECT network must synchronize with each other. The synchronization can ensure a seamless handover and roaming for the LA and calls in the multi-cell system.

Base stations can be synchronized "over the air", meaning that they are synchronized via DECT.If the DECT connection between specific base stations seems to be not reliable enough, synchronization can also take place via LAN. To carry out the synchronization you will need the plan of the clusters with the synchronization level for each base station.

Cluster

A cluster comprises a number of base stations in the DECT IP multi-cell system that synchronize with each other to enable handover, roaming and load balancing.

Handover:The DECT connection of a handset is passed to another base station during a call.

Roaming: A handset in the idle status is connected to the multi-cell system via a new base station.

Load Balancing: Because the current base station is overloaded with active DECT or media connections, the DECT connection is set up with a neighboring base station having free resources for a call.

Handover and load balancing take effects only when the base stations are synchronized with each other.

Single Cluster Only

All base stations in the multi-cell system belong to a cluster, where they can synchronize with each other.

Multiple Clusters

Base stations that are far apart in the multi-cell system can be grouped into different clusters, where the synchronization is not required.So there is no handover between two clusters.

DECT-based Sync

To ensure the synchronization, you should plan the level 1 base station in the center as much as possible, and place the next sync level's base stations around the center.

The following is an example of a synchronization scenario:

Yealink W90 User Manual

DECT Transmission Technology

Each base station is assigned to a corresponding sync level .Sync level 1 is the highest level, which is the level of the sync master and appears only once in each cluster.

A base station always synchronizes itself with a base station that has a higher sync level.If it detects several base stations with a higher sync level, it synchronizes itself with the base station that has the strongest signal.If it does not detect any base station with a higher sync level, it cannot synchronize.

the strongest signal.

 

 

The more synchronization levels, the greater the possibility of synchronization loss.So select the base station that is in the center of your DECT network as the base station with sync level 1.

Your synchronization hierarchy could also look like as the following:

LAN-based Sync

The base station with the higher sync level will act as LAN master, the base with the lower sync level is a LAN slave.One base station must be explicitly defined as LAN master, and it must be on DECT sync level 1.

The following is an example of a synchronization scenario:
