  1. Emergency Communications in ETSI Presenter: Adrian Scrase VP ETSI IPP(International Partnership Projects)

  2. Requirements for Emergency Communications (SC EMTEL) (1) • Development of a deliverable on Total Conversation Access to Emergency Services (draft TS 103 170) • Total Conversation, as defined in ITU-T F.703, is a combination of three media in a conversational call: video, real-time text and audio • Draft will define precise conditions for using Total conversation for emergency services and make access of emergency services possible to people with disabilities • Draft will mainly address the PSAP organisations and potential impact on overall organisations of emergency services • Due considerations of present ongoing standardisation work e.g. 3GPP-NOVES • Involvement in answer to Mandate M/493 with other ETSI TBs • Mandate in support of location enhanced emergency call service • Establishing closer ties with EU • Contribution to the Expert Group on Emergency Access

  3. Requirements for Emergency Communications (SC EMTEL) (2) • Strategic direction: • Maintain momentum of activity based on a combined participation of vendors, operators and emergency services representatives • Develop requirements based on service and functional description • Be an observatory of work performed in various groups:3GPP (SA1, CT1), NENA, EENA, PSCE Forum, IETF-ECRIT, ITU-T (SG2) • Promote activity and recognition of EMTEL • Through pragmatic actions (conference, website) • Initiatives (e.g. contact with COCOM EGEA)

  4. Requirements for Emergency Communications (SC EMTEL) (3) • Challenges: • Improve promotion of EMTEL documents to users and other groups (e.g. ETSI TBs and 3GPP groups, other SDOs, European projects). • Continuous effort to get users’ requirements through public safety users (e.g. fire and rescue services, ambulances, police, Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) involved in EMTEL work. • Promote global harmonisation of public safety spectrum needs and provision of dedicated spectrum capacity for public safety use only.

  5. Satellite Emergency Communications (TC SES SatEC) • Early warning systems • WG-SatEC is developing a protocol allowing the transport/distribution of polymorph alert messages over satellite links • Easily Deployable Emergency Communication Cells • WG-SatEC is studying the characteristics and requirements for easily deployable communication cells providing seamless backhauling and interconnection of terrestrial networks via satellite • Key to successful emergency communications = common data formats + interoperable systems + common spectrum

  6. Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TC TETRA) • TETRA is one of ETSI’s success stories and has reached great acceptance in the world and is widely established (117 countries) • TETRA is a standard defined to meet needs of most demanding professional mobile radio users • Achievements • Narrowband (TETRA release 1) and Wideband (TETRA release 2) are complete and both are in use • Challenges: • Broadband TETRA services are about to be developed to meet new user requirements • Inter System Interface development still needs further definition • Study and standards development to extend TETRA into high band VHF

  7. Digital Mobile radio (TC ERM TG DMR) • DMR has capability to serve • Consumer and short-range industrial • Professional/Business-Critical applications • Public Safety/Mission-Critical applications (Tier 3: licensed trunking) • The technology promises improved range, higher data rates, more efficient use of spectrum and improved battery • ETSI standard on DMR systems (TS 102 361 serie) defining direct digital replacement for analogue PMR • Currently being revised

  8. Reconfigurable Radio systems(TC RRS) • Today Public Safety communication suffers from two different issues • Spectrum scarcity hampering the development of high bit rate applications which could be of great help during an emergency crisis • Heterogeneous wireless communication systems not compatible with each other • RRS technology may help resolving these two issues • SDR can mitigate the interoperability issue • Dynamic Spectrum Allocation (DSA) and Cognitive Radio (CR) can improve the efficient use of the available spectrum enabling the spectrum sharing • TC RRS WG4 on Public Safety: • Has recently published a TR on business and cost consideration of SDR and CR in PS domain (TR 103 064) • Is currently defining the use cases for spectrum and network usage among public safety, commercial or military domain (TR 102 970). • Both TRs refer to Spectrum sharing, Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and pre-emption

  9. Mobile cellular with eCall • eCall project initiated as WG of the eSafety Forum • eCall aims at issuing an automated call to emergency services, including data • To reduce response time of emergency services • Standards developed in CEN, 3GPP and ETSI • CEN has defined the content and format of the MSD (Minimum Set of Data) in CEN/TS 15722. The MSD is generated by the vehicle to the PSAP at eCall establishment. • 3GPP has defined the transport protocol to send the MSD from the In Vehicle System (IVS) to the PSAP, via the GSM/UTS network, defined in 3GPP. See “eCall Data Transfer – In-band modem solution” • ETSI (TC MSG, STF 399) and 3GPP have defined the test cases. End-to-end cases are now being conducted by CEN (CEN 1502). • Recent decisions • Type approval for new types of car will include eCall from 1st January 2015. • ETSI TC MSG reminded to the ECC that eCall has been defined to operate on dual mode GSM/UMTS devices (and not only on GSM, as being currently considered by car manufacturers)
