Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT); Study on URLLC use cases of vertical industries for DECT evolution and DECT-2020

Scope

The present 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).
The identified scenarios are intended to be implementable under 5G technology assumptions and timeframe. However
some of them may also be implementable enhancements of current DECT technology.
By 5G technology assumptions, it is meant state of the art radio interfaces based on OFDM with optional use of MIMO.
The present document also describes the methodology and sources used for the identification of use cases, and describes
the required DECT standard specifications for the implementation of the different evolution paths.
The present document is a preparation of follow-up technical specifications within DECT, DECT ULE, DECT
evolution and DECT-2020.
