GSC 16 -PLEN-07 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. 3 GPP-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 Halifax, 31 Oct – 3 Nov 2011 ICT Accessibility For All 2

GSC 16 -PLEN-07 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: 3 GPP (SA 1, CT 1), NENA, EENA, PSCE Forum, IETF -ECRIT, ITU-T (SG 2) – Promote activity and recognition of EMTEL • Through pragmatic actions (conference, website) • Initiatives (e. g. contact with COCOM EGEA) Halifax, 31 Oct – 3 Nov 2011 ICT Accessibility For All 3

GSC 16 -PLEN-07 Requirements for Emergency Communications (SC EMTEL) (3) • Challenges: – Improve promotion of EMTEL documents to users and other groups (e. g. ETSI TBs and 3 GPP 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.

GSC 16 -PLEN-07 Satellite Emergency Communications (TC SES Sat. EC) • Early warning systems – WG-Sat. EC is developing a protocol allowing the transport/distribution of polymorph alert messages over satellite links • Easily Deployable Emergency Communication Cells – WG-Sat. EC 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 Halifax, 31 Oct – 3 Nov 2011 ICT Accessibility For All 5

Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TC TETRA) GSC 16 -PLEN-07 • 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 Halifax, 31 Oct – 3 Nov 2011 ICT Accessibility For All 6

Digital Mobile radio (TC ERM TG DMR) GSC 16 -PLEN-07 • 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 Halifax, 31 Oct – 3 Nov 2011 ICT Accessibility For All 7

GSC 16 -PLEN-07 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 WG 4 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 Halifax, 31 Oct – 3 Nov 2011 ICT Accessibility For All 8

GSC 16 -PLEN-07 Mobile cellular with e. Call • e. Call project initiated as WG of the e. Safety Forum • e. Call aims at issuing an automated call to emergency services, including data – To reduce response time of emergency services • Standards developed in CEN, 3 GPP 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 e. Call establishment. – 3 GPP 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 3 GPP. See “e. Call Data Transfer – In-band modem solution” – ETSI (TC MSG, STF 399) and 3 GPP 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 e. Call from 1 st January 2015. – ETSI TC MSG reminded to the ECC that e. Call has been defined to operate on dual mode GSM/UMTS devices (and not only on GSM, as being currently considered by car manufacturers) Halifax, 31 Oct – 3 Nov 2011 ICT Accessibility For All 9
