Digital European Cordless Telecommunications system blind slot algorithm evaluation results

The use of extra system information, which may be available but is not mandatory within the latest specification to aid the system with link establishments and handover procedures, is discussed. A model of the Digital European Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) system, which could be considered a simple cell system in a high-density office environment, is described. Experimental results indicate that the introduction of the fast algorithm in terminal equipment reduces the time taken for a link to be established. The model confirms that the inclusion of blind slot algorithms in the design of DECT portables call considerably reduce link establishment times, compared with the simplest algorithms possible within the CI specifications.<>
