DECT-2020

DECT-2020, also called NR+, is a radio standard by ETSI for the DECT bands worldwide.[1][2] The standard was designed to meet a subset of the ITU IMT-2020 5G requirements that are applicable to IOT and Industrial internet of things.[3] DECT-2020 is compliant with the requirements for Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications URLLC and massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) of IMT-2020.

DECT-2020 NR has new capabilities [4] compared to DECT and DECT Evolution:

  • Better multipath operation (OFDM Cyclic Prefix)
  • Better radio sensitivity (OFDM and Turbocodes)
  • Better resistance to radio interference (co-channel interference rejection)
  • Better bandwidth utilization
  • Mesh deployment

The DECT-2020 standard has been designed to co-exist in the DECT radio band with existing DECT deployments. It uses the same Time Division slot timing and Frequency Division center frequencies and uses pre-transmit scanning to minimize co-channel interference.
