Transmission Modes

WAVECOM Decoder W74PC, W-PCI/e, W-CODE, W-CLOUD Manual V8.7.0

If no PDUs are selected – this is the default setting - only the status messages generated by
the CMCE protocol will be displayed.

Path

The paths for saving output data may be selected here. Use Server to set the Windows
folder for the output files on the server. Use Client to set the Windows folder for the output
files on the client. This option is only enabled on a remote GUI.

Options

Check this box if you want to save encrypted traffic for further analysis.

Encryption

Encrypted data and voice poses specific problems for decoding as decryption of the payload
is not attempted. TETRA offers air interface encryption which may cover data, signaling,
identities etc.

In the current decoder version encrypted traffic similar to other traffic will trigger the indi-
cation “TRAFFIC” in the status box, and an option (see preceding paragraph) is available for
saving traffic to a text file containing cell information, destination address and payload data
(if an allocation is received). In case of encrypted traffic packets, the payload data is saved
together with the number of the slot, frame, multi-frame and hyper-frame being decoded
which constitute the Initial Value (IV) for the encryption algorithm. Saved data and meta-
information may be fed to an external decryption process. A sample of the text file contain-
ing encrypted voice and meta-data is shown below:

Constraints

WAVECOM’s implementation of TETRA is based on TETRA release 1 and will decode all TMO and DMO voice
and data traffic in real-time, albeit with certain constraints (referring to the TETRA reference protocol
stack and the appropriate ETSI standards):

Layer

Constraints

Layer 1

 Multiple Slot Transmission mode (MST) is not supported

 Only downlink bursts are supported in the current decoder version
