MOTOTRBO Digital Radio Technology
Overview: Step 1 - Analog to Digital Conversion
Analogous to how a written message is converted to a data stream by a fax machine, Analog
to Digital Conversion translates the user’s voice (microphone input) to a digital bitstream.
1
The digital bitstream contains a LOT of bits - far too many to transmit over a radio channel.
So some form of compression is required…..

MOTOTRBO Digital Radio Technology
Overview: Step 2 - Vocoding & Forward Error Correction
Vocoding (Voice encoding) compresses speech by breaking it into its most important parts and encoding
them with a small number of bits. Because it focuses on human speech, it greatly reduces background noise.
2
Forward Error Correction (FEC) enables the receiving radio to correct bit errors that occur due to RF
channel impairments - enabling more consistent audio performance throughout the coverage area.

MOTOTRBO Digital Radio Technology
Overview: Step 3 - Framing
Framing organizes digital voice (or data) into digital packets: the voice or data becomes payload (like a letter
in an envelope) while the header describes the type of call, source and destination address, etc. (like the
addressing information on the envelope). This enables one radio to provide integrated voice and data.

MOTOTRBO Digital Radio Technology
Overview: Step 4 - TDMA Transmission
Transmission encoding completes the encoding process (like adding the machine-readable sorting
information on the envelope) and finally “mails the letter.”
TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) organizes a channel into 2 time slots: a given radio’s transmitter is
active only for short bursts, which provides longer battery life. And by transmitting only on their alternating
time slots, two calls can share the same channel at the same time, thereby doubling spectrum efficiency.….

System Coverage Planning
Coverage Considerations
Before coverage (usable
audio range) can be
defined.
Identify the minimum
acceptable audio quality.
One accepted method is
known as Delivered
Audio Quality (DAQ).
• DAQ measures the intelligibility and quality of voice conveyed through a
communications system.
• Audio quality is measured on a 5-point scale, with the DAQ rating of 3 as the
minimal acceptable audio quality level for public safety applications.
• The definition of DAQ 3 is: ‘Speech understandable with slight effort. Occasional
repetition required due to Noise/Distortion’.

Coverage Considerations –
Greater Usable Range
• The figure illustrates the regions of
coverage that have comparable audio
quality for a MOTOTRBO site compared
to an equivalent analog site.
• For a DAQ 3, which is the minimum
acceptable audio quality level for public
safety applications, MOTOTRBO
provides a greater useable range than
analog when all other factors are
considered equal (e.g. transmit power
level, antenna height, terrain, etc.)
• In general, plan as you would for an
analog system at the same power level
and enjoy the better performance.

MOTOTRBO Digital Radio Technology
Frequency Licensing
• The licensing process varies from region to region.
• Emission Designators: Includes several pieces of vital information, such as
modulation, signal, type of information and size of the channel.
• This determines the channel width your system will occupy. For MOTOTRBO
systems, the Emissions Designators are
– Data only: 7K60FXD
– Voice and Data: 7K60FXE
• If you have a 12.5kHz license, you will need to update your emissions designator.
• If you have a 25kHz license, you will need to update your emissions designator.
You will generally not be allowed to break it into two – 12.5kHz channels.
• For regulators who currently assign CTCSS/DCS tones to analogue PMR channel
licenses, for MOTOTRBO they will need to assign Color Codes instead.

Embedded Digital Signaling
• In the framing process, vocoded speech is formatted for transmission.
• This process includes organizing the voice and any embedded signaling information.
• Information such as call type (private, group or all system) as well as identification
information and/or control information, is used to notify listeners on a voice call system
events and status.
• ‘Late entry’ allows a user to join a voice transmission that is already in progress. The
system allows for this to happen because the digital signaling information is repeated
periodically during the course of the call.

• In scan mode the radio continually searches a list of channels for activity
of interest.
• The relevant channels to be scanned (scan members) for a given channel
are defined by the Scan List associated with that channel.
• One Scan List can contain a maximum of 16 “Scan Members” and a
maximum of 32 Scan Lists can be defined.
• While a radio is scanning it is looking for transmissions (voice or signaling)
addressed to itself using
• One of the group addresses in the Scan List associated with the channel it is
scanning at that moment
• It’s individual address (e.g. Private Call) or
• The “All Call” address
• A mixture of digital and analogue channels may be included in a Scan List.

Channel Scan (Cont.)
•
If activity of interest is found, the radio stops and switches to that channel.
The radio then remains on that channel until the activity of interest has
ceased for a period of time defined by the radio “Scan Hang Timer” (or until
a higher priority call is detected).
•
Channel Scan limitations
– Since Channel Scan requires the radio to switch between channels, there is a
possibility that the radio will miss a transmission.
– The larger the Channel Scan list, the greater the possibility that a transmission
will be missed.
– The Channel Scan list should be configured to be as short as possible.
– A scanning radio will eventually detect group and “all call” transmissions via
“late entry”, however most individually addressed transmissions (e.g. Private
Call) will need to be prefixed with “Transmit (Tx) Preamble” if they are to be
detected by a scanning radio.

• Although relatively short, its does take time to determine if a transmission
is of interest on a higher priority scan member. During this time, there is an
audio hole on the current scan member.
• Channel marking offers a way to mitigate the duration of the audio hole.
• It introduces a logic that assumes that if a transmission was identified as
not of interest, there is no need to fully review it at every scan interval.
• The feature greatly increases audio quality while a radio is in priority

Description
Time-Out Timer
Sets the amount of time that the radio can continuously transmit before the
transmission is automatically terminated.
Squelch
Special electronic circuitry added to the receiver of a radio which reduces
or squelches, unwanted signals before they are heard through the speaker.
Admit Criteria
Enables a radio to refrain from transmitting on a channel which is already in
use.
Monitor/Permanent
Monitor
The user can check channel activity by pressing the monitor button. If the
channel is clear, the user hears static. If the channel is in use, the user
hears the conversation. It also serves as a way to check the volume level of
the radio, as while pressing the monitor button, the user can adjust the
volume of the static/conversation heard.
Priority/Dual Priority
Scan
Priority Scan allows a user to program the radio to scan more frequently
transmissions on the most important channel, and ensure they do not miss
critical calls. Dual Priority Scan allows a user to program a radio to
frequently scan transmissions on the two most important channels, and
ensure they do not miss critical calls.
Talkback Scan with
Home Channel Revert
Talkback Scan allows activity on different communications channels to be
monitored and answered. Home Channel Revert allows a user to
automatically access a preferred channel.
Talkaround
Allows a user to talk directly to another unit for easy local unit-to-unit
communications and bypass the repeater.
Nuisance Channel
Delete
Allows a user to remove a channel with unwanted activity (i.e. a Nuisance
Channel) from the scan list temporarily.

Analog to Digital Migration
• System Migration is the process of moving from one operating
platform to another (i.e.: from an analog two-way radio platform to
a digital two-way radio platform).
• Select the migration strategy based on your customer’s needs.

Analog to Digital Migration
Strategy
Description
New / Full System
Replacement
Deploy all new MOTOTRBO equipment and operate in
digital mode only.
Migration
Transition the customer’s system from analog to digital
site by site / channel by channel / talkgroup by talkgroup.
Deploy MOTOTRBO equipment for selected sites /
channels / talkgroups and operate the system in analog
and digital mode by leveraging the radio’s capability to
scan and support both modes.
Preparation
Deploy new digital capable MOTOTRBO subscriber units
but still operate in analog (legacy) mode. Switch to digital
capability when entire fleet is MOTOTRBOTM.

System Capacity Planning
Definition
The System Capacity is the nominal
loading that occurs on a channel that
will still result in an acceptable level of
performance and user experience.

Capacity Considerations - Loading Analysis Results
The y-axis is an approximation of how likely a customer is to encounter a busy channel given the assumptions
described in the previous slide. It's not a specification or guarantee of performance, and each customer's experience
will vary.
If there is Low Voice Only traffic, the solid pink line should be the line of reference. Based on the solid pink line, for 30
users per slot, there is good probability that a given user will find the channel to be available. In the “fair” regions of
the chart, a user is progressively more likely to encounter a busy channel.

Capacity Considerations - Options to Optimize Capacity
•
Distribute high usage users and talkgroups between slots of the
repeater(s).
– Keep the number of high usage users per channel to a minimum.
•
Data applications retry attempts and intervals (configure at server).
– Decrease retry attempts.
– Increase retry intervals.
•
Optimize outbound message rate of data applications (configure at
server).
– Pace outgoing messages appropriately to avoid congesting the channel.
– A MOTOTRBO radio can only buffer up to 10 messages.
•
Minimize location periodic update rate.
–
–
–
–
Lengthen the location update interval.
Only use a high update rate for selected users or in an emergency.
Minimum update rate is 5 seconds. Maximum update rate is infinite.
It is recommended that the periodic update rate should be longer than 2 minutes.

Capacity Considerations – Options to Optimize Capacity
If a channel has 10 users, and the users have High Voice Usage, then it is recommended that the Location Update
Period be set to 3.5 minutes or higher (longer).
