TETRA is the standard of Digital Trunked Radio System developed by the ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute). It is currently adopted as Electric Power IT Wireless Backbone Network in Korea, and a national enterprise is going on for versatile utilization of TETRA. To use TETRA wireless network, TETRA modem is very necessary such that performance measurements are very crucial for each TETRA modem by various manufacturers. In this paper, PED (Protocol Evaluation Data) is suggested for PD performance measurement in D-TRS wireless network environment. The performance measurements for different data lengths and transmission intervals are done using TG (Traffic Generator) on Test Bed. The data size is increased by 10 bytes from 10-byte to 400-byte, and it is measured 1,000 times for each transmission interval of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 seconds. Based on the transmission time measured, average transmission speed and MER (Message Error Rate) are derived for TETRA Modem performance measurement. Two TMR880i's of EADS are used for TETRA modem, and SwMI (Switching and Management Infrastructure) of EADS is used for switching system in this paper.
