21、rposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in SR 002 211 17 and the following apply: interface: network termination point, which is a physical connection point at which a user is provided with access to public telecommunications network; and/or air interface specifying the radio
22、 path between radio equipment and their technical specifications NOTE: According to article 2.e of the R Directive 2002/20/EC 3 on the authorisation of electronic communications networks and services (the Authorisation Directive); Directive 2002/19/EC 2 on access to, and interconnection of, electron
23、ic communications networks and associated facilities (the Access Directive); Directive 2002/22/EC 5 on universal service and users rights relating to electronic communications networks and services (the Universal Service Directive); Directive 2002/58/EC 6 concerning the processing of personal data a
24、nd the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (the Privacy Directive). In addition, there is a further Directive 2002/77/EC 7 on competition matters consolidating the existing “liberalization“ Directives applicable to telecommunications.

25、 11Finally, there is also a Commission Decision on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision 9), which establish a policy and legal framework in the Community in order to achieve the harmonization of the use of the radio spectrum. This may im
26、pact the technologies used to offer the end user access to Telecommunications Networks. There is also the unbundling of the local loop regulation 10 and other documents related to this nucleus of Directives. In this case NRAs may (or not) force a certain physical point to be used as NTP. Further reg

And specifies the mechanisms for: 1) placing all
28、radio equipment (terminals and base stations) and all telecommunications terminal equipment on the market (article 6, largely based upon manufacturers declaration of conformity) and putting them into service (article 7); and 2) network operators to declare the network interface technical characteris
29、tics (Network interfaces, article 4.2) in sufficient detail to enable manufacturers to design terminals to inter-work with the network, this applies to both radio (including mobile and satellite), fixed and cable public networks; 3) radio interfaces to be harmonized (article 5) or published by natio
30、nal Authorities according article 4.1. Figure 1 demonstrates that, whilst the Radio Equipment (Network, Terminals and others not related with Telecom) as well as the Telecommunications Terminal Equipment are within the scope of the R 2) the rights granted and restrictions made to users of the specif
31、ication; and 3) how details of any licensing requirements associated with such IPR may be obtained. NOTE: These IPR/copyrights however does not limit the operators obligation of publishing his public interface. There is no requirement for the contents of an existing specification to be reproduced in
32、 the interface publication. In line with clause 4.2 on reference to standards, it is recommended that the interface refers out to the published specification and/or provides details of where the specification may be obtained. If the interface publication published by the PNO contains any sort of IPR
33、 or copyright, the PNO is recommended to give appropriate information of existing IPRs in the publication. ETSI ETSI EG 201 730-1 V2.1.4 (2006-03) 15There is no obligation for PNOs to publish the IPRs which are needed or may be needed for the design of equipment compliant with the specified interfac
34、e. There is also no obligation for PNOs to make IPRs owned by others available to terminal manufacturers. 5.2 Content of access interface publications Clause 7 indicates characteristics to be specified by the PNO in his publication and annex A contains an example of structured document that may be u
35、sed in the declaration of access interface specifications. The presentation style of annex A is provided for illustrative purposes only. The publication should contain information to enable terminal manufacturers to design terminal equipment to inter-work and for use of all services offered by the P
36、NO with the public telecommunications network for the purpose of establishing, modifying, charging for, holding and clearing real or virtual connections and to prevent the misuse of network resources. The access interface publication should contain at least the information described under the headin
37、gs given in the annex A proforma where relevant to that interface. Guidance notes are contained in the pro-forma to explain the nature and level of detail of the information required. PNOs may, if they choose, provide additional information e.g. relating to the interface definition, the services pro
38、vided over that interface, facilities provided to terminal designers/users for interoperability testing. In producing the access interface publication, the following points should be considered: 1) Wherever possible, the interface specification should refer out to published standards. The following
39、list gives an indication of standards and specifications that may be referenced for the purposes of the publication: a) Standards whose reference is published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. b) European standards or specifications adopted by ETSI. c) International standards or r
40、ecommendations adopted by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), the International Standards Organization (ISO) or the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). d) National standards or specifications; and e) Proprietary specifications in the public domain. This list does not precl
41、ude reference to accepted industry standards in the absence of a standard that is in any one of the categories above (e.g. IEEE, Wireless ATM Forum, and Bluetooth). 2) When a standard referred to contain options, the access interface specification should indicate which option(s) have been implemente
42、d. For some protocols there may be standards or specifications defining the associated Protocol Implementation Conformance Statements (PICS) which may be used for this purpose. 3) All supplementary services provided have to be published, along with the service codes used for their actuation. 5.3 Tes
43、ts for “essential requirements“ (R article 3.1b (EMC): refer to guidance on this issue which may be found in EG 201 450 15 (or any other ETSI Guidance document on the subject); article 3.2 (Spectrum): refer to Harmonized Standards for the radio products. If no Harmonized Standard exists the PNO shou
44、ld advise the manufacturer to refer to a Notified Body under the R it is recognized that where interfaces are very similar, it may be beneficial to have all of those interfaces in a single document indicating the alternative options. Similarly, it may be desirable to specify some characteristics tha
45、t are common to a number of interfaces in a separate publication. The criteria for deciding how to document the technical characteristics of the access interfaces should be based on clarity, removal of ambiguity, maintainability and ease of use for the users of these publications. 5.4.2 Language and
46、 document issue control When the access interface is published in one of the recognized European languages, it is suggested that an English version is available as a minimum additional language. NOTE: Referenced international or regional standards will normally be in English and may be in the local
47、language after transposition by the National Standards Organization (NSO). All access interface publications should have strict issue controls to ensure that it is clear which document is currently in force. 5.4.3 Availability As a minimum, the PNO should provide details for a single point of contac
48、t to the NRA that can provide access to all access interface publications provided by that PNO. The PNO shall inform the NRA immediately of any change to the given contact details to ensure that they remain current. Additionally, it is recommended that a PNO provide within the specific access interf
49、ace publications, contact details to enable users of the publication to contact the PNO for the purposes of, e.g. clarification of the text or reporting errors in the publication. In order to minimize cost and complexity associated with distribution of publications, it is recommended that, wherever possible, PNOs should make the access interface publications available by electronic means. Where this is not possible, the publisher may levy reasonable costs for reproduction and distribution on an organization or
