  3. Summary MESA Mobility for Emergency and Safety Applications Project Name Introduction Brief History, Objectives, Members, MESA structure Output of the users work State of Requirements Identification of criteria to map user requirements into system technical requirements Mapping process List of the main system requirements for the MESA system MESA system technical requirements Example of network architectures, the “System of Systems” paradigm System Reference Model Architectures Work Items, next steps Specification Development Plan Next deadlines, some figures, how to participate Final remarks

  4. Brief History • Project MESAis a transatlantic public safety partnership between ETSI(Europe) and TIA(N. America) that represents the first international initiative to involve users and organizations from the Public Protection, Disaster Response and Civil Defence sectors • In May 2000 ETSI and TIA signed in Washington DC an agreement (the PPA - Partnership Project Agreement) to work collaboratively by providing a forum in which the key players can contribute actively to the elaboration of MESA specifications • In January 2001 the current partnership agreement was ratified in the City of Mesa (Arizona) • Project’s name given in recognition of the signature city • MESA = Mobility for Emergency and Safety Applications • Project MESA also supports the ITU in its worldwide effort to harmonize PPDR communications as documented in ITU-R Report M.2033

  5. MESA Objectives MESA aims at producing globally applicable technical specifications for digital mobile broadband technology, aimed initially at the sectors of public safety and disaster response allowing a coordination of regional/international responses to emergencies, disasters and monitoring day-by-day applications

  6. Members & Activities • Project MESA membership currently comprises over 100 representatives • national public safety organizations • communications equipment users • communications industry • research organizations • Academia • Observers from Canada (TSACC) and Korea (TTA) • Full affiliation list: http://www.projectmesa.org/info/MESApeople.htm • Any interested party from around the globe can actively participate in the Project MESA specification development process • ETSI and TIA support the administrative needs while the technical work required to develop the Project MESA specifications is performed by members • Members meet every 6 months (alternating between European and North American venues) to coordinate program activities and to review project documents for approval • Between the meetings, members coordinate specification development and other activities primarily during phone conferences and through e-mail

  8. Phil Kidner BAPCO Chair of the MESA Service Specification Group Services and Applications

  9. MESA Service Specification Group • Who are we ? • What is it that we have produced ? • How has this been done ? • Who are these users ? • What are the common requirements ? • What about my requirements ? • What about my requirements ?

  10. Who are we ? • A global effort driven by: • ETSI European Telecommunications Standards Institution • TIA Telecommunications Industry Association

  11. Who are we really ? • Individuals from user organisations, regulatory/standards bodies, manufactures, suppliers and other organisations • …….. Just like you and I !

  12. What is it that we have produced ? • Statement of requirements • Common requirements • Specific requirements

  13. Statement of user Requirements (SoR) • Developed within the user-focused Service Specification Group (SSG) of MESA and approved by the Project MESA Steering Committee (SC) in 2002 • Intended to describe and define functional and operational user requirements, capabilities, applications and scenarios that involve broadband air interface data rates • documents the details of PPDR scenarios, describing the types of information that are routinely required to support PPDR activities • technology needs within Public Protection & Disaster Relief (PPDR) discipline • Emphasis on applications identified by users/agencies as key requirements, but which current applied technology may not fully deliver • To view the latest SoR document, please visit http://www.projectmesa.org/ftp/Specifications/

  14. How has this been done ? • Together ! Driven by consensus • Processes ensure that everyone can contribute • Identify common requirements • Document your requirements • Add/review/delete ……please

  15. Who are these users ? • Public Protection and Disaster Relief • Synonymous with Public Safety • First Responders – definitely but wider …. • Includes ……. • Not ….

  16. What are the common requirements ? • Fifty eight common requirements • Includes …. • User requirements not user solutions

  17. What about my requirements ? So far …….

  18. Criminal Justice Emergency management Special operations Health Services Fire services Coast Guard Search and Rescue Airport security Humanitarian assistance Hazardous materials Correctional Institutions Emergency Planning Central Government Land and natural resources Transportation Intelligent transport systems Highways Agency So far ……

  20. Jeff Bratcher ITS Chair of the MESA Technical Specification Group

  21. Mapping Process • It is the first task faced by the Technical Specification Group – System (TSG SYS) • The mapping consists in reorganizing the breadth of information provided in the SoR into a logical framework that could be used to identify the system technical requirements across the different PPDR scenarios • TSG SYS members is going to derive a generic set of MESA communications requirements (bandwidth, delay, jitter, QoS, security, priority access, scalability…) that address the requirements of all PPDR scenarios

  22. Scenarios Categories “Cube” Services have been sorted into 12 different categories resulting from the combination of identified • Indoor/Day-by-Day/Single Spot • Indoor/Emergency/Single Spot • Urban/Day-by-Day/Single Spot • Urban/Day-by-Day/Wide Area • Urban/Emergency/Single Spot • Urban/Emergency/Wide Area • Urban/Disaster/Wide Area • Rural/Day-by-Day/Single Spot • Rural/Day-by-Day/Wide Area • Rural/Emergency/Single Spot • Rural/Emergency/Wide Area • Rural/Disaster/Wide Area

  23. Main MESA Technical System Features In order to fulfil user requirements MESA system must be • reliable • able to ensure multiple levels of security and encryption • easy and fast to deploy • able to guarantee the requested QoS • flexible • adaptable • reconfigurable • scalable • self-organizing • interoperable with existing private and public infrastructures • broadband • mobile • low power consumable • able to locate nodes, sensors, robots…
