STATEMENT OF WORK

TITLE: Project 25 Radio Test System LAB REQUESTING SERVICE: Communications Technology Laboratory (CTL), Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) Division

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

PSCR laboratories provide research, development, testing, and evaluation to foster nationwide communications interoperability. To conduct test and measurement tasks in public safety communications, PSCR requires a simulation, test, and measurement system for Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials International (APCO) Project 25 radio signaling.

The overall goal is to transmit and receive signaling that emulates the physical layer of P25 compliant radio systems and allows for recording of demodulated symbols and identification of bit errors in the transmitted data streams. P25 trunked and conventional radio systems typically transmit in uplink/downlink frequency pairs in pre-determined bands/frequencies with two sets of physical layer standards for Phase I and Phase II.

PSCR will conduct measurements and identification of P25 physical layer bit errors in both uplink and downlink frequency pairs (up to eight pairs at once) that will be used to characterize P25 radio performance based on real propagation conditions across geographic areas (i.e., a metropolitan area). Raw demodulated data bit streams by location will be used to identify where bit errors would occur in a P25 stream, and PSCR can simulate many different streams of data against the measured bit error locations.
