Emergency Telecommunication Service (ETS) Standards Initiatives Presentation for EMTEL Workshop ETSI Headquarters Sofia Antipolis, France 26-27 February 2002 Hal Folts Senior Systems Engineer Priority Services Team - Internet 703 607-6186 foltsh@ncs.gov 11/19/2018

Agenda Background Issues Under Consideration Objectives and Focus of work Project TIPHON Work Items Progress and Accomplishments Time Line Following the Action Abbreviations 11/19/2018

Emergency Communications Telecommunication services to support recovery operations Ensure effective communications to support recovery operations through severely congested and impaired resources during times of disaster – e.g. earth quakes, hurricanes, floods, volcano eruptions, terrorist attacks Authorized users – e.g. medical services, fire brigades, police, government and industry recovery teams 11/19/2018

Disasters happen any place, any time, unexpectedly Why ETS Telecommunications resources often experience severe stress with damaged infrastructure and very high traffic loads Serious Disasters happen any place, any time, unexpectedly Initial recovery response teams need telecom support to enable organization and coordination of recovery resources immediately Response teams must depend on readily available public telecommunications resources – Internet, Cellular, POTS 11/19/2018

The Government Emergency Telecommunications Service (GETS) GETS established to provide emergency access and specialized processing in local and long-distance telephone networks for authorized users Diplomatic Telecommunications Service (DTS) FAX Cellular/PCS PBX International DISN FTS2001 PSN WITH: ACCESS AUTHORIZATION ENHANCED ROUTING PRIORITY TREATMENT INMARSAT GETS access is through a simple dialing plan and personal identification number (PIN) 11/19/2018

FUTURE OF NS/EP COMMUNICATIONS Telecom Evolution FUTURE OF NS/EP COMMUNICATIONS convergence Today Evolving Nets Transition with circuit/packet interworking GETS Yesterday PSTN/ISDN/PLMN Tomorrow Fully integrated global services for NS/EP operations NGN 11/19/2018

Goal i.e. avoid retrofits Fully integrated NS/EP services received through execution of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with service providers using standard capabilities inherent in infrastructure i.e. avoid retrofits 11/19/2018

ETS are collectively being referred to as IEPS – International Emergency Preference Scheme – ITU-T Recommendation E.106 IEMS – International Emergency Multimedia Service – ITU-T Draft Recommendation F.706 are collectively being referred to as Emergency Telecommunications Service (ETS) ETS can then be used in either an international or national context 11/19/2018

Objectives of ETS Selection of multimedia & telephony services Rapid authentication of authorized ETS users Security protection of ETS traffic Preferential access to telecom facilities Preferential establishment of ETS communications Preferential routing of emergency ETS traffic Preferential use of operational resources for ETS Preferential completion of ETS traffic Optional pre-emption of non-emergency traffic Allowable degradation of QoS for ETS traffic Interchange of critical service management info 11/19/2018

Fulfillment Draw upon existing standards with minimal changes or additions, if necessary to meet objectives. Do not impede or interfere with natural functions and operations of basic Internet infrastructure. Support preferential treatment of emergency calls in IP-telephony service. new applications– instant messaging & presence, registration of missing/survivors (IAA), broadcast video. 11/19/2018

New ETS Work Items for Releases 4 & 5 TIPHON Initiative New ETS Work Items for Releases 4 & 5 WI 00004-1 Requirement Definition Study Technical ETS features and objective to be fulfilled WI 00004-2 System Description How standards fulfill the ETS requirements 11/19/2018

Many Considerations Technical — solutions being sought: Operational Industry networking standards that fulfill ETS requirements Enhance ETS operations with value- added capabilities Operational Policy Legal Regulatory 11/19/2018

Progress Standards development is a process of consistency, persistence, patience Established ETS Requirements in all major industry standards bodies Approved and advanced drafts of ETS framework Enthusiastic industry support First drafts of ETS technical specifications 11/19/2018

Time Line January 2001 — Identified initial work areas for technical focus and initial technical area for enhanced features December 2001 — ETS requirements adopted in work programs of ITU-T, IETF, ETSI, ANSI T1, and TIA March 2001 – December 2003 — Proactively provide technical contributions and participate in work of specific technical areas of industry standards activities Autumn 2002  First meaningful standards to be established and adopted by industry FY 2002 – 2004  Prototyping work to validate applications of newly agreed upon industry standards 11/19/2018
